I put a mod note because this is asking about a practice that has clear medical implications, so it's not just CYR but CYD

Isaac Moses

... In general, it's fine to ask generalized questions about something you're actually facing. The subject matter doesn't make it more of a request for pesak IMO.

Isaac Moses

Wed 18:56

I would assign 75% probability that there's personal intent behind it. It could be literally asking about a friend, or asking about a practice seen in a fictional or nonfictional story.

@DoubleAA It sounds like you're recommending editing the question so the "Is it a good idea" is "Is it a good idea, according to Torah sources?"

Bringing it up here for further discussion. This is a matter of public policy, as indicated in the Meta post I've linked. If mods were to take any action with respect to the user, we'd not discuss that here.

I think that there is positive value in its being there with @joshwaxman's answer.

I don't know whether the post rises to the level of "delete and report to authorities."

@joshwaxman @DoubleAA @msh210 Regarding https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/150753/pain-to-prevent-sin
I protected the post and added a "consult professionals" moderator note to the post.

Maybe a fictional associate of Meyer Lansky? "This is my friend, Tommy Tehom. You don't want to find out where he got his last name from."

Isaac Moses

Wed 16:15

@msh210 Thomas Tehom would be a good character name for maybe Jewish film noir?

Q: What is Mi Yodeya's sepcific policy on content generated by generative artificial intelligence tools?

I see that in Mi Yodeya's Help Center, there is a standard post from Stack Exchange indicating a general policy on the use of AI tools to generate content, and that while this policy lays out some pretty clear guidelines, it also says: If you have a question about how this policy might look in p...

Isaac Moses

@RabbiKaii Thank you for getting the ball rolling on judaism.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5695/… . Let's work toward making an official faq post. I wrote an answer with proposed FAQ content that covers considerably less ground than your answer but is potentially FAQ-ready. What do you think? Should we publish it as such, or would you recommend modifications? (Question is open to everyone else too.)

@RabbiKaii Eh. If it's a matter of community standards, it's better raised on Meta.

A: Shelosha Ve'esrim - mi yodeya?

Twenty three is one of the two days of the Omer on which the Base 7 and Base 10 representations of the count are the reverse of each other, so you end up saying the same two digits, in the same order, twice, when you count.

@RabbiKaii All good. No offense taken. Disagreement and debate are fine.

Isaac Moses

Feb 6 19:53

The main thing we need to concern ourselves with is content on behavior on our platform, not content, identity, or motives outside of it. (My personal attitude toward this point is more absolute than others'. See judaism.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5406/…)

@Kazibácsi @msh210 Sorry about not answering earlier. Looks OK to me, given precedent such as judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/57624/… . Make sure that the question is a real, clearly defined and circumscribed question

Q: What's the policy in regard to Kabbalah questions?

There are halachik and cultural norms about if Kabbalah can be learnt, and discussed in public. It's part of Judaism but it is an area that needs to be handled delicately. What is the policy here?

@Harel13 Thanks!

@RabbiKaii More like a thin NY accent. My parents both came from NY, but I grew up in Philly. My parents ensured that I didn't pick up a Phluphian accent. I've since probably picked up some influences from the generic east coast and midwest Jews I've been among.

@msh210 Hmph. Looks like all the links to the audio have broken over the years. It may just be gone.

Isaac Moses

Nov 17, 2024 13:04

@msh210 Thanks! A lot are from calendars. It helps that I can generally leave them stapled to the walls while the walls are stored, and they don't deteriorate too much, so we can just add stuff over the years.

Isaac Moses

Nov 15, 2024 15:03

Thanks! Baruch tihyeh! I too grew up with a wood sukka that my father built, and I loved how we could and did staple all kinds of stuff to it. I was very excited when we finally got to the point where we could build and store one like it.
Shabbat Shalom! Shehakadosh baruch hu yifros et sukkat shalom aleinu!

(Like, to use an example that's safe to state here, if someone makes it their business to protest outside religious services at a college Hillel, yelling "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.", that reads to me as more of an expression of fealty to a particular ideological tribe than meaningful expression of humanitarian values.)

Isaac Moses

Nov 15, 2024 14:46

@RabbiKaii That's a nice diyun lechaf zechut. And when people are discussing values honestly rather than mainly expressing fealty to a group they've committed to identification with, that's often expressed in discourse that's more civil and meaningful.

Isaac Moses

Nov 15, 2024 14:36

I agree strongly about civil discourse. This is also a value that is in tension with other values, specifically the notion of morality itself.

Isaac Moses

Nov 15, 2024 14:13

Chazal clearly didn't think this was a value confined to one city in ancient history.

Isaac Moses

Nov 15, 2024 14:12

I do think that the Torah takes a stand on Midat Sedom as a value, and that we should too, unabashedly. The fact that this is portrayed so starkly, at so foundational a point in our history (including a clear choice by Avraham Avinu to literally go the other way) indicates that it's a core aspect of our mission.

Isaac Moses

This is 100% an issue to discuss with a rabbi who knows you, for an objective, informed perspective on interpreting God's will, and with your relevant medical professional[s], for an objective, informed perspective on any impacts to your health. Mi Yodeya is not equipped to replace or second-guess either of these resources. I wish you good health, in all respects.
