Q: Why doesn't Shulchan Aruch include the laws of destroying fruit trees?

רבות מחשבותDespite clear halachos that apply nowadays and codification in Rambam's Mishneh Torah, Rif, Rosh and Semag, and discussion by a host of other commentaries, as far as I (and the Taz, YD 116:6) can tell, the Tur and Shulchan Aruch do not discuss the laws of destroying trees/Bal Tashchis anywhere. ...

Where in the talmud does it say that if a student does not answer back to a teacher when he shames him , the student will be able to understand hard parts of torah

@Dr.Shmuel 101 revisions - no new badge - so there's new secret badge here - but maybe it was worth it for Dr' Shmuel's upvote ...

@hazoriz אין התורה מתקיימת אלא במי שממית עצמו עליהם, and embarrassing someone is equivalent to killing them? Maybe?

@DonielF I have a feeling I’ve actually seen the quote, though

@Dr.Shmuel But maybe it's a Rishon or Acharon who put those two Gemaras together, rather than it actually being a Gemara itself.

קח ע"א about מורא רבו כמורא שמים
or, it may be on the line before that, about בן אצל אביו
If I'm not mistaken, he says that p'shat is because it's felt in derech cheirus.

Q: What is a typical Mizrachi Seder like?

DonielFInspired by the comments here, I realized how little I know about what other customs' Sedarim are like. As an Ashkenazi, I'd only ever participated in Ashkenazi Sedarim. As such, I'd like to explore what other traditions do on this night. What is a typical Mizrachi (Middle Eastern) Seder like? W...

Q: For kiddushin, why does Rambam say kesef is "mi'divrei sofrim" but doesn't say that for shtar?

alichtIn Hilchos Ishus 1:2, the Rambam writes: לִקּוּחִין אֵלּוּ מִצְוַת עֲשֵׂה שֶׁל תּוֹרָה הֵם. וּבְאֶחָד מִשְּׁלֹשָׁה דְּבָרִים אֵלּוּ הָאִשָּׁה נִקְנֵית. בְּכֶסֶף. אוֹ בִּשְׁטָר. אוֹ בְּבִיאָה. בְּבִיאָה וּבִשְׁטָר מֵהַתּוֹרָה. וּבְכֶסֶף מִדִּבְרֵי סוֹפְרִים. And taking a wife as such is a...

בכמה מקומות ביארנו שבאותם הזמנים היו העם נמשכים אחר דברי' המוניים כלחשים ונחשים ופעולות המוניות וכל שלא היה בהם סרך עבודה זרה ודרכי האמורי לא חששו בהם חכמים לעקרם וכל שכן במה שהיה הרגילות אצלם בו כל כך שהיה טבעם מקבל בענין חזוק או חולשה וכמו שהעידו בסוגיא זו דקפיד קפדינן ליה דלא קפיד לא קפדינן ליה וממין דברים אלו הוא שהיו רגילים להזהר מן הזוגות וכשתקנו חכמים ארבע כוסות שלא לגרוע או להוסיף מצד אותם ההבלים הוצרכו לרוב רגילותם לתת טעם לדבריהם והוא שאמרו ליל שמורים הוא לילה המשומר ובא מן המזיקין וכבר נמנעו מטעם זה מלומר בה ברכה מעין שבע אם חל בשבת שהרי לא נתקנה אלא מפחד המתאחרים לבא כגון עם שבש…
The implication seems like leil shimurim is not a real thing, but the Sages propagated it to suppress the panic that would have accompanied the zugos.

@Dr.Shmuel exactly what I asked above:
2 days ago, by רבות מחשבות
Can someone help explain the reality that the tashbetz is describing here: על כן נ"ל דנוז אינו שזור אלא שיהי' פתול בשעת טוייה כדרך שתי וערב של בגדים לאפוקי שנמשך החוט בלי פתול כדרך עושה חגורות וארוג נפקא לן מדכתי' יחדו Is he talking about wrapping one string around another?
He rejects Rashi and Rabbeinu Tam's definitions of Nuz since he points out that there would be no Shaatnez Deoraisa in tzitzis (see there for more details), so he suggests that Nuz means "Patul Beshat Teviyah" - what does that mean based on his explanation there?
