I have a question. During the weekday amidah, there is a part that is said until December 4th and another part that starts december 5th. I the siddur was written so long ago, how would the rabbis have known about the modern day calender? Is there something special about the 5th of December?

What is the torah portion for shabbat services Jan 19th and 20th 2007? Just wondering what my sons torah portion will be.

Good afternoon. My question is about the laws of eruv. I live in a new community that does not have an eruv, although there is supposedly one being done in the near future. Based on the logistics the only way to enclose my house within the eruv, the eruv would have to also enclose a nearby farm. My rabbi says that the eruv will not be kosher if the farm is within the eruv because it is not traversable. My question is, is there any way to enclose this farm while still keeping the eruv kosher?

Can you tell me the source for something I once heard. I was told that after 120 years, when a person goes up to shomayim, the first question they ask him/her is if they made any shidduchim in their lifetime. Can you tell me where in the Talmud/Gemara, etc., this is written? Thank you for your help. Mrs. G.
