A. Talmud Sotah 9b-10a has some interesting stuff, check out a translated Talmud. Also there are commentaries printed on Tanach – some of which are translated into English in the Judaica Press edition. I can lend you both books. Q. What’s the simplest way to tell Rashi and Tosefos apart on a Talmud page? A. Rashi is always on the inner margin closest to the book binding, Tosefos is always on the outside margin. Q. Do we make Havdalah on Shabbos going into Yom-Tov? A. What a question! The Talmud (Pesachim) has a 9-way debate on it. All agree that we make a Havdalah (farewell to Shabbat) and Kiddush (welcoming YomTov) combination, but there are 9 varying opinions on the order of the blessings recited. Q. Can I wear a leather belt or kippah on Yom-Kippur? A. Yes. The restriction is only against leather shoes. This dates back before Payless and Famous Footwear. A good pair of shoes lasted a long time. And people walked around a whole lot more, and stood on their feet more hours of the day.
