- [Avodah] My Current Futile Life Project June 18, 2025Another one, tangentially provoked by this phrase in Micha's last message: "... shemeih de-"Qudeshah Berikh Hu'!" ... getting people not to put unnecessary "h"s at the end of transliterated Hebrew and Aramaic words. You can argue either way when the word ends with a "he" without mappiq (I have my own strongly held position, others […]
- [Avodah] AI-EOL June 18, 2025I believe I?ve heard r schachter say that when the family makes the decision for the patient, they are supposed to make the decision that they believe the patient himself would have made that situation If that?s the case, maybe AI would be in a better position than some families.

- [Avodah] My Current Futile Life Project June 17, 2025Yet another one -- getting the Chazan for Mevorkhim haChodesh to call the months of "Av" and "Marcheshvan" by their real names!

- [Avodah] Amen June 12, 2025In the "when it?s so asynchronous that it?s not even toch kdei dibbur" case, I would prefer RAMiller's *derech* (try to answer everyone whom you've heard because "l'halacha, one ought to") over RJKaplan's *derech* (answer only the last because "the speedsters are simply being rude") -- making a blanket assumption like RJK made deserves its […]
