@Scimonster Sorry about that! I think we made sure that the Pesach one would print on A4, but never tested the Purim card.

@Scimonster AFAICT, this has the links to the final word version

in Purim Book Discussion and Brainstorming, Mar 7 '14 at 6:57, by Isaac Moses

WORD: FULL / CARD

Note that if you look at them in GDocs preview, they won't look the same as the published PDFs. You have to open in Word proper.

Q: Why is an edit link disabled on a question that is not locked, on-hold, or closed?

10:35 AM

@DoubleAA How did you bump this?

Our policy on tagging questions based on the answer(s) seems to be at odds with SO's

Not that that's a problem, just pointing it out.

"adding more tags that describe the problem also helps the question to be found later."

I was going to remove the "cats" tag on the question How do we kill all the cats in Israel? Not terribly important, just some community clean-up work. I cannot though since the "edit" link is disabled. I cannot figure out why that is.

I'll come right out and admit it: I'm a pretty self-absorbed person, and I sometimes have a hard time remembering that not everything is always about me. To this day I believe deep in the core of my soul that when I leave the house in the morning, someone somewhere deploys an army of drivers with...

discussion close-reasons question-closure

I wonder if this Meta English post has any bearing on the state of how MY treats "psak" questions....

....I'm not saying anything with this ^^^, exactly, but that it might be valuable in the discussion surrounding RfP questions in the future. Why reinvent the wheel if someone hands you one?

@Shokhet I think this is analogous to a question that looks sort of pesak-like, but probably isn't intended as such, which I agree the best approach to is to edit.

@IsaacMoses you mean, something like judaism.stackexchange.com/q/27069/5323?

that makes sense

....that question is currently the highest voted Meta English question of all time

@Shokhet Fixed with two characters.

@IsaacMoses I saw that. ....I didn't think that this question needed a fix, but if you think it will make it clearer to new users that RfPs don't belong here, then that's a good edit.

@Shokhet marginally, I admit

Someone remind me next Adar that I have an answer to the being machmir on matanos l'evyonim question

@YeZ Shushan Purim isn't over yet!

@IsaacMoses, do we have until the end of Purim Meshulash for PTIJ?

Does anyone know which email on Koren's American English page should be used for questions regarding the content of their books? (such as mine about their Minhag Anglia machzorim)

YeZ

@IsaacMoses Erev Shabbos is not a good time for me to spend writing an answer.

In fact, my time here is up

good Shabbos!

@NoachmiFrankfurt Looks like we have six years to determine it. Maybe post the Mi Yodeya Meta question now.

Purim

Purim (/ˈpʊərɪm/; Hebrew: פּוּרִים Pûrîm "lots", from the word פור pur, related to Akkadian: pūru) is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire where a plot had been formed to destroy them. The story is recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther (Megillat Ester מגילת אסתר in Hebrew). According to the Book of Esther, Haman, royal vizier to King Ahasuerus (presumed to be Xerxes I of Persia), planned to kill all the Jews in the empire, but his plans were foiled by Mordecai and his cousin and adopted daughter Esther, who had risen to become...

@YeZ Shabbat Shalom!

@YeZ gutt shabbos

@IsaacMoses What about this year? I can post a question, however I doubt it will be resolved that quickly

7:14 PM

@NoachmiFrankfurt This year is not triangular. Shushan Purim is observed in its entirety today, erev Shabbat.

@IsaacMoses I thought it was (based mainly on the occurrence of MY questions on the subject). Why isn't it?

@NoachmiFrankfurt See WP. Triangular only applies when Shushan Purim (or Purim, I guess, when, bimheira viyameinu, we reinstate Kiddush Hachodesh, and it comes out that way) falls on Shabbat, so the observances get spread to before and after.

@IsaacMoses I guess I was confused. Nu, anyway, I guess it's still a good question

@NoachmiFrankfurt IMO, the Sunday should still be kosher for P"T, since in Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh, they'll still be needing P"T for their Se'udot then.

... "we'll ... our," preferably

@IsaacMoses huh? Is this to me?

Q: PTIJ in a year with Purim Meshulash

@NoachmiFrankfurt Just emmending my previous message with standard pro-Redemption over-piety

Meta-Man

In some years, Shushan Purim (15 Adar) falls on Shabbat, as with 2008/5768 and 2021/5781. In such a case, Those cities which observe Shushan Purim will extend the festivities over three days. In those years, should we permit Purim Torah questions to be asked throughout Purim Meshulash, rather t...

@IsaacMoses that works

@Scimonster @Shokhet @DoubleAA ... and why? the score hasn't changed since Monday.

Mr. Bultitude

7:43 PM

Are most of this site's users fluent in Hebrew?

@Mr.Bultitude Probably not fluent, but depends on what you mean by "users" and by "Hebrew." Most active users, for example, are probably pretty good at reading Bibilcal and Mishnaic Hebrew, but may fall short of reading or speaking fluently in Modern Hebrew

Mr. Bultitude

@IsaacMoses In spite of your definitional caveat, I think you gave exactly the sort of answer I wanted.

@Mr.Bultitude :) Glad to hear it.

@IsaacMoses ....also a good question :)

@IsaacMoses Just bumping the whole thread to give it another run down the main page. More new users may run into it.

@Shokhet That is explicitly entered in the edit summary by SE

@Scimonster Added a hard return to move the link even lower. IIRC.

Repeat of an earlier kashia:

@NoachmiFrankfurt Just try one and see what happens. If you don't get an answer within a week, try another.
