- [Avodah] mutav sheyihiyu shoggim July 16, 2025If a rav says there must be a heter because everyone does it (eg reading Jewish newspapers with ads on Shabbos and not worrying about shtarei hedyotot) may one rely on that and read the newspaper or is it another way of saying mutav sheyihiyu shoggim? if the latter should one avoid it or would […]
- [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. They say that the knife is so sharp as to be no worse than a paper cut, and that the loss of blood is so fast that unconsciousness follows immediately. Without expressing any […]

- [Avodah] New Year for Trees July 9, 2025. In Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Yomi, today begins Siman 173, Hilchos Orlah. I was surprised to find that - according to the Kitzur - the critical dates for establishing the age of a tree are 16 Av and 1 Tishre. Tu B'Shvat is not mentioned at all by the Kitzur in this siman! ArtScroll's footnote […]
- [Avodah] (1) Re: The Census Numbers In Bmidbar,
and (2) Half-Truths July 9, 2025Saying ?Hashem is lemaalah min hazeman? doesn?t really answer any questions or give explanations because we humans don?t understand what lemaalah min hazeman means.

But as you will see, it isn't the list's usual fare. With the current less-than-overwhelming volume, I chose to include it. But as a compromise, I am collapsing the following email exchange into a single post. I was able to trim […]
