Intimate Knowledge of G‑d Compassion Toward People Splendor in Mind and Heart
Micha Berger: simple eruv question: [...] Assuming the bridge has some kind of support running along the side to invoke gud achis, I would think both are in play. But you don't need that support to qualify as a mechitzah, since pi tiqra would would on its own. Tir'u baTov! -Micha

Incinerated animal bones (known as bone char) are used as a filtering aid for sugar to remove unwanted color. Since the bones are […]

Danny Schoemann: Toho VaVohu: R' Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer asked: [...] That's how we learnt it in Kita Alef (or in the Adas Yeshurun Cheder - or both) in Johannesburg 50 years ago. The closest I could find in my bookshelf is in the Silberman Chumash that has it as Desolate and Void. […]
