Description

Can de'mai be eaten, if it is purchased in a mixture with kosher food? Why are pas and bishul akum prohibited? Do they require shishim to be mutar? If a gentile cooked the item one third it's cooking, can a Jew completely cook it and make it mutar? Can Sefardim eat in a Ashkenazi cafeteria where goyim are the chefs? If a goy cooks in your pot, do you need to kosher the pot from the bishul akum even after waiting twenty four hours? On Pesach, does one need to kosher a pot, used for kitniyos? Do those who only drink chalav yisrael need to kosher a pot cooked with non-chalav yisrael ? Who rationalizes theft? Is temple mount holy today? Chumash-Pekudei: why were the cherubs facing each other at the time of the churban?
