1 In exploring the topic of a convert or orphan who is married as a Na'arah, I stumbled upon a surprising piece in the Beis Shmuel: ...הואיל קידושין דאורייתא הם ונישואין אינם מדאורייתא... ...since Kiddushin is from the Torah, but Nisuin is not from the Torah... While it's obvious that Kiddushin is from the Torah, I was surprised to see an opinion that Nisuin is not from the Torah, as I had never heard of such a thing before. Indeed, it's the Rambam's opinion that Kiddushin and Nisuin are two parts of the same Biblical mitzvah (as discussed here). What is the Beis Shmuel's source for this assertion? Whatever the answer to #1, how does the Rambam address it? marriage share | ...

4 I have a function f(){ echo 777 } and a variable to which I assign the "return value" of the function. x=$(f) Very concise! However, in my real code, the variable and function names are quite a bit longer and the function also eats positional arguments, so that concise line above, gets very long. Since I like to keep things tidy, I would like to break the code above in two lines. x= $(f) Still works! But: keeping things tidy also means respecting the indentation, so that gives something like if foo x= $(f) fi which does not work anymore due to whitespaces! Is there a good workaround for this? bash newlines assignment share | improve this question ...
