Shabbos Umbrella
Akiva Miller: Shabbos Umbrella: . R' Micha Berger asked: [...] I did not read that entire article. But your point is certainly among the several factors why those poskim did NOT sanction this umbrella for Shabbos use. Your concerns appear on the last page, in the paragraph beginning "nireh". […]

Prof. L. Levine: Q. If a food was cooked before Shabbos, may it be reheated on Shabbos?: [...] A. There is a well-known Talmudic dictum that “ain bishul achar bishul” (there is no cooking after cooking, and cooked food may be reheated).

What's All This About People With Good Hair?
Jay F. Shachter: What's All This About People With Good Hair?: [...] I don't think that people with good hair should automatically be considered to be the officers of the community.
