Sorry. I have tevila on the brain right now. Check back next month and I'll be reading "tovel" as "kasher..."  ;D

RYBs on names:
There are two types of names – the name you were given when born – known as the shem arisah - and the name you are known by. The shem arisah has a halachic validity, as it is always your name, even if you stop using it.
@mevinyavin what is the source for this? A שם עריסה which is נשתקע ceases to be ones name AFAIK.

Indeed, this problem was so common in England that R’ Yechezkel Abramsky ruled that a get should have only the name in common use, and not the shem arisah – because it was impossible to determine what the original shem arisah was. (In truth, a shem arisah – when real – is never bottul. However, in this case, he said that it was impossible to determine what the real shem arisah was.)
This is simply not true. It would render a Get passul if used even if the original שם עריסה was known.

No idea. I can send you the full quote, but I can't help you with sources.

Is there any reason one should not have non Jewish employees working on Purim?

MB 696:2 allows it (from M"A)
I'm sure you can find someone that disagrees, and that could be a reason.

Buying a new oven, thinking of getting a double oven and use one for parave. Aylor said it’s ok if they are two separate ovens and no heat is exchanged from one to the other then it’s fine.
Hard for me to find information online. Anyone have any experience with this?

By heat he probably also meant steam (same vent)

I went to buy a Passover (glass top) stove at a (non Jewish) store that sells scratch and dent appliances, I explained to the salesperson that I absolutely need an appliance that has never been used with food, he told me that he has ways to identify if it was used he sold me one he claimed was 100% not used. Fast forward a few days, my friend walks in with the same request to which the reply was unfortunately we no longer have any that we can guarantee have not been used.

Question is what kind of נאמנות does the seller have here?

I don't know the halacha but I think that maybe an addition to the shaila is ,assuming we can trust him that he believes it to be definitely not used  (based off of the story with your friend) is that enough for us? Does he really have a way to know 100 percent?

Interesting responses from a chabad site .

is it permissible to eat matza balls on pesach
RebbeIO
According to Torah sources, it is permissible to eat matza balls on Pesach, as long as they are made with kosher-for-Passover ingredients. Matza balls are typically made with matza meal, eggs, and water, which are all permissible for Passover consumption.

However, it is important to note that some authorities have raised concerns about the use of matza meal in Passover cooking, as it may contain small amounts of leavening agents that are not permissible for Passover consumption. Therefore, it is recommended to use matza meal that is specifically labeled as kosher for Passover.

Additionally, it is important to ensure that all other ingredients used in the matza ball recipe are also kosher for Passover, including any spices or flavorings. As with all Passover cooking, it is important to follow the guidelines and restrictions set forth by Jewish law to ensure that the food is permissible for Passover consumption.

User:
who is mashiach
RebbeIO
According to Jewish tradition, the Mashiach (Messiah) is a future king and leader who will bring about the ultimate redemption of the Jewish people and the world. The concept of the Mashiach is based on numerous prophecies in the Hebrew Bible, including the book of Isaiah, which describes a future era of peace and harmony under the leadership of a righteous king.

The Mashiach is believed to be a human being, descended from the line of King David, who will possess extraordinary wisdom, leadership, and spiritual qualities. He will be a charismatic and inspiring leader who will unite the Jewish people and lead them to a new era of prosperity and spiritual fulfillment.

According to Jewish tradition, the coming of the Mashiach will be accompanied by a series of miraculous events, including the ingathering of the exiles, the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, and the resurrection of the dead. However, the exact nature and timing of these events is a matter of debate among Jewish scholars and is not considered a central tenet of Jewish faith.

It is important to note that the concept of the Mashiach is a fundamental belief in Jewish tradition, but it is not considered a central focus of Jewish practice or worship. The emphasis in Judaism is on living a righteous and ethical life in accordance with the commandments of the Torah, rather than on speculating about the future.

is the lubavitch rebbe mashiach
RebbeIO
According to Jewish tradition, the Mashiach is a future king and leader who will bring about the ultimate redemption of the Jewish people and the world. The identity of the Mashiach is not known with certainty, and there is no way to predict when he will arrive.

While the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, was a highly respected and influential leader in the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, he was not considered to be the Mashiach by mainstream Jewish authorities. The belief that the Rebbe was the Mashiach is a minority view held by some of his followers, but it is not accepted by the broader Jewish community.

It is important to note that the concept of the Mashiach is a fundamental belief in Jewish tradition, but it is not considered a central focus of Jewish practice or worship. The emphasis in Judaism is on living a righteous and ethical life in accordance with the commandments of the Torah, rather than on speculating about the identity of the Mashiach.

User:
Can i drive on passover?
RebbeIO
The answer to your question depends on what you mean by "drive." According to Jewish law, it is forbidden to operate a motor vehicle on Shabbat and Yom Tov, including Passover. This is because driving involves igniting a spark, which is considered a form of work that is prohibited on these holy days.

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if there is a medical emergency and driving is necessary to save a life, then it is permissible to drive on Shabbat or Yom Tov. Additionally, if there is no other way to get to a synagogue or other religious gathering, it may be permissible to drive a short distance.

It is important to consult with a qualified rabbi to determine the specific circumstances in which driving may be permitted on Passover or any other holy day.

I know Rav Belsky said this, but Rav Moshe Feinstein said you can ask. There is no problem of lifnei iver because for him it is mutter.
IIRC when R’ Belsky was asked if you can ask someone who holds you can open bottles to open for you he responded something along the lines of “There’s no such thing as holding you can open bottles”.

Was that regarding the current plastic bottle caps or the old metal ones?
