Thenceforth the appeal in religious and legal questions was to be made to the rabbinical authorities of one's own or a neighboring country, so that inquiries sent during this period to Babylonia were rare and exceptional.

| | | | | Shulkhan Arukh: Encyclopedia II - Hazzan - Origin of the term and the role The term hazzan may have been borrowed from the Assyrian word "Hazanu." In the Talmud the term is used to denote the "overseer": (1) of a city; (2) of a court of justice; (3) of the Temple; (4) of the synagogue. It also comes from the word Hazzon, denoting a "visionary." The early hazzanim (the plural of hazzan) were most likely prophets. In regard to a hazzan's duties in the synagogue, the Talmud notes that 2,000 years ago, he brought out the rolls of the Torah, opened them at the appointed readings for the week, ...

| | | | | Shulkhan Arukh: Encyclopedia II - Fast of the firstborn - Meaning of the fast In Judaism, there are essentially three potential purposes of fasting, and a combination of some or all of these could apply to any given fast. One purpose in fasting is the achievement of atonement for sins and omissions in Divine service. Fasting is not considered the primary means of acquiring atonement; rather, sincere regret for and rectification of wrongdoing is key (see Isaiah, 58:1-13).
Nevertheless, fasting is conducive to atonement, for it tends to precipitate contrition in the one who fasts (see Joel, 2:12-18). This is why ...

Niddah - Calculation of the niddah period.
The first five days begin when a woman first sees her monthly vaginal blood flow. She counts from the beginning of the flow, and continues until the flow stops. If it takes less than five days for her flow to stop, she still has to wait until five days are over. Even if she saw blood for only one day, she must wait five days until she can begin the seven-day taharah ("purification") process. The five days need not be complete five days. The first day might start in the middle of the day, if she first saw her flow in the afternoon. But whenever they began, they ...
