@msh210 BTW, the sefer I was quoting - אלף המגן - is a most amazing and unique sefer. It discusses every Haftorah and ממילא provides wonderful explanations to different sections of נביאים. Unfortunately, it’s not available online (yet).

Q: Did Rashi wear a yarmulke?

Shimon bMTractate Sofrim (14:14) records two opinions that concern the wearing of a head covering during the Shema: there are those who say that it is not necessary, and there are those who say that it is necessary, since one whose head is uncovered may not pronounce the name of God.

Anyone want to translate this? GTranslate doesn't give me a complete translation.

@IsaacMoses how to avoid shaking hands with the opposite sex? (my sources say it looks like italian)
 
Isaac Moses
Isaac Moses
@YEZ Google thinks its Spanish and translates more of it as that. I guess your translation makes sense, since that's the title of the linked question. "sexe contrari" = "opposite sex" makes sense.

@IsaacMoses My two spanish-speaking immediate family members both say it looks Italian (although one said maybe even latin)
 
Isaac Moses
Isaac Moses
@YEZ Alright. Thanks. Any Italian-speakers in the house?

YEZ
@IsaacMoses no, but my brother just "concluded" that it is a language called Catalan, spoken in northeast Spain.

@YEZ Ha! GTranslate likes that idea

I assume the last part is something like "the Jewish Yahoo! Answers"

@IsaacMoses You're hoping "respuestas" isn't Catalan for "stinky"

@YEZ It's Spanish for "answers."
@YEZ Y"K to your brother for awesome language skills.

@YEZ Y"K to her as well
@YEZ OK, @mi_yodeya tweeted back "Gràcies per l'enllaç!" I hope that makese sense in Catalan.
I do believe that's the first time I've ever tweeted in Catalan.

Bingo!

@DoubleAA wow, seriously? I'm missing it too, I'm afraid.
@IsaacMoses wow, Catalan -- nice job all on identifying it. (I was stuck at "doesn't look Italian", so if it wasn't Spanish...)

@MonicaCellio ID was thanks to @YEZ' brother

Well, the original tweeter favorited @mi_yodeya's reply, so I guess it was intelligible. :)

@IsaacMoses or Catalan speakers are very polite.
 
Isaac Moses
Isaac Moses
@YEZ Or, there is at least one Catalan speaker who was feeling very polite for some amount of time earlier today.
