Subject: [Avodah] A Day to Disconnect
"They did, we critique."
Words aren't creative? How interesting. But don't tell it only to us. Tell
it to the tana'im, amora'im, rishonim, acharonim etc etc. You may say
that everything they wrote/said was truly creative and lots of what we
do is not. Ok. But there's still plenty of creativity in a world where
we think and write rather than sow and plow.
The interesting question is why that type of creativity is not included
in the forbidden work of shabbat, especially since God's creativity
during the six days of creation came about through words and not the
type of creativity in the 39 melachot.

Subject: [Avodah] Necromancy and Jesus in Gittin 56b-57a
?In Gittin 56b-57b, it has the account of Onkelos using necromancy to talk
to Jesus. I am trying to find both more information about this account in
other texts, if any, and also other instances where individuals talked to
Jesus with him being in Gehinom. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Bruce

Subject: [Avodah] tachanun
Why are the rules for which days we don't say tachanun not parallel to those for not saying lamenatzeach?

Subject: [Avodah] psak
When the gemara has an Ibaye d'lo Ifshita (unresolved question), is the
practical halachic process going forward any different from one where it
closes with teiku? If so, how?

The Levush (132:1) says because it's part of the Kedusha. Note that the
question only arises in minhag Ashkenaz -- for Sephardim the rules _are_
the same for tahanun and lamenatzeah
