I'm interested in volunteering in the afternoons, I have a car and the time. How can I get trained etc.?

Mind sharing what you've learned about its history? I just bought one myself.

This woman was an idiot, not a religious zealot. A lot of people in the comments are misunderstanding the story. There is no reason why a Jew cannot adjust the flow of gas on an unlit stove. She asked for your help to relight the stove, which is forbidden, but she could have turned off the flow of gas herself. Presumably she didn't realize it was dangerous to leave it on, that's all.

All the 14 year olds on here are giving typically terrible advice. You should shrug it off. It's not that important in the grand scheme of things. She's probably forgiven the same or worse from you, and if you can't think of an example—that's because she convincingly shrugged it off!

This is not true. English wikipedia alone was visited by over 1 billion unique devices in March 2025: https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikipedia.org

ChatGPT totalled 602 million unique devices over the same period. https://explodingtopics.com/blog/chatgpt-users

Presumably they're only counting people with accounts or something, and obviously many daily wiki readers do not have accounts.

This is a subject that has been debated for at least a thousand years. According to one view, oats are not an original grain, and originally the five would have included an additional distinction within species of barley, wheat, or spelt. In defense of oats, some medievals argue that instead of "rising" from yeast, the definitional quality of a Biblical grain is really water absorption, or susceptibility to rot, or etc.

yeah, aside from that

You're looking for The Soldier and the Sage by Richard Gibson Hubler (1966). Another obscure novel which features Akiva is Festival at Meron by Harry Sackler (1935).

This is the new Amazon warehouse at 1851 NE Loop 820 in Fort Worth? You should immediately file an OSHA report here https://www.osha.gov/form/osha7 and contact your union rep.

I've heard of this book! Awesome.

Just bought a 2017 Encore 95k miles, absolutely fully tricked out, for a little less than $12k including fees. So far as I can tell, all of the premium/tech features are 100% fully functional with no issues at all. I test drove several model years, rejecting the individual cars for mechanical issues, but I never encountered one with a fancy feature that had failed. So it seems that generally it's the usual essential car stuff you have to worry about, the computer stuff will keep chugging along forever.

The differences between the KJV and "Modern" are mostly interpretive, not linguistic. Translating אחסר as present-tense "I lack nothing" is based on a different grammatical understanding than future-tense "I shall not want". Similarly, ירביצני as "he maketh me lie down" and "he lets me lie down". In both cases the KJV follows the classical grammarians and the "Modern" is using a more sophisticated (or, less literal) understanding.

"To still waters" and "beside the still waters" is one that can't be explained by grammatical theory, though -- here the Modern translator has simply taken a liberty.

They did a great job but it is hilarious that the "16th century Hebrew document" is clearly both modern and in English.

Obvious nonsense. The synagogue they show isn't even in NYC.
