- [Avodah] Distractions? July 30, 2025RJR's quote of Ben Azzai from https://www.sefaria.org/Berakhot.22a.16-17 got mangled by the digest software anyway. You can find it at that link, though. Here is a translation of mmore of the gemara than that quote, because I need more for my response: The Sages taught: One who experienced a seminal emission who had nine kav of […]

- [Avodah] Cruelty to animals July 15, 2025. When Torah is accused of cruelty to animals, I often see people respond that shechita is totally painless to the animal.
