More on squeezing fruit on Shabbat, specifically over food, and not over an empty bowl - salad dressing! Also, hearsay testimony (one witness) is accepted only for allowing women to remarry, instead of leaving them agunot. Is there no other arena of halakhah where one witness's testimony would be sufficient? There is - when one claims that an animal is a first-born animal, and not available for the food of the kohanim. Plus: Certain unsavory foods that we're not considered tasty, yet some still go for it: tarnagolta of R. Abba and kutach. And: A competitive chat praising the Babylonian experience over experiences in the Land of Israel, and the take-down in response, eg: the talmidei chachamim in Babylonia were not bnei Torah (and then R. Yochanan rebukes them and tempers the discussion).
