- [Avodah] Saying Sheimos Aloud December 16, 2025. Near the beginning of Hilchos Chanuka in the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (139:1), he uses the phrase, "ad shericham aleihem E-lohei avoseinu." I checked several different recent editions, and they all printed that Shem with a heh. Not a kuf, or any other sort of typographical modification. I would love to know how the author […]
- [Avodah] Truth, Absolute Truth, Prophecy December 12, 2025. R' Meir G. Rabi asked: > HKBH knows what He's doing > DON'T MIX IN > Just do as you're told. > Why does this not apply to > Rivkah and YaAkov's meddling > to gain the blessings from Yitzhak I presume that "do as you're told" refers to the idea that from HKBH's […]
- [Avodah] The Ram of the Akeida December 9, 2025> > Michael Poppers wrote RAMiller asked, "What > was miraculous about that ram?" Interestingly enough issues relating to this (tangentially) are on yesterday's and today's daf! (Zevachim 85 & 96). (now how often does this happen?! ) This paragraph is from a shiur from R Sholom Rosner, https://alldaf.org/p/42929, starting at around 10:50. On these […]

- [Avodah] The Ram of the Akeida December 9, 2025In Avodah V43n73, RAMiller asked, "What was miraculous about that ram?" On a Mi Yodeya page (URL: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/48734/what-was-the-significance-of-the-ram-by-the-akeida), I noticed a few answers: -1- 3. The special nature of this ram was exemplified by, possibly, making it to the list of items created at twilight, in the fifth chapter of Avos. ... I was wondering […]
- [Avodah] Truth, Absolute Truth, Prophecy December 8, 2025The righteous King Chizkiyahu Was to be divinely punished for avoiding having children Because he knew that they would be evil, not only to themselves, but to the entire nation The Navi reprimanded him mind your own business not HKBH's business. InOtherWords, HKBH knows what He's doing DON'T MIX IN Just do as you're told. […]
- [Avodah] And so the game continued December 3, 2025"Why? Why didn't the ba`al qri'ah just write in the vowels? We are obliged to read the book of Esther from a parchment (which is, parenthetically, a better term than "qlaf"; books of the Bible aren't supposed to be written on qlaf, although they can be, they're supposed to be written on gvil) and yet […]
- [Avodah] The Ram of the Akeida December 3, 2025. There is a mishna in perek 5 of Pirkei Avos which lists several things that were created at Bein Hashmashos just prior to the Shabbos of Bereishis. My understanding is that they were all miraculous, unnatural things. Good examples are the mouth of Bilaam's donkey, which talked, and the mouth of Miriam's well, which […]
- [Avodah] Modern Orthodox December 3, 2025>From Malka Z. Simkovich in Tradition Postscript Working on this essay gave me occasion to consider the rising tendency among Modern Orthodox American Jews to accept the notion that judaism cannot be authentically practiced outside the Land of Israel. My sense is that such Jews are exposed to the writings of R. Soloveitchik and R. […]
- [Avodah] Right? December 3, 2025In a number of places in halacha we give priority to the right-hand side and turning to the right. It?s interesting that 80+ percent of humans are right-handed. While there are a number of theories as to why this might be(especially compared to other life forms), I wonder if there?s some message as to why […]
