1) How can mirrors reflect that which they don’t “see”? (If you stand next to a mirror and look down in it, you’ll see things which isn’t in its line of vision, so how does it know how to reflect it?)
2) If you talk next to a mirror, why doesn’t any sound come from your reflection?
3) If a male looks in a mirror to remove a white hair (in the days that it was forbidden for a male to look in a mirror) how many issurim is he oveir, 1 or 2?
4) Why did the evil stepmother talk to the mirror?

2. Mirrors reflect light, not sound.
4. “Mirror, mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?” pretty much explains her purpose. She wanted to know who was the fairest in the land.
January 28, 2016 8:45 pm at 8:45 pm #1134198screwdriverdelightParticipantThere’s no such thing as even number day!
2. Well, why not?
4. That’s not what she said.
January 28, 2016 8:49 pm at 8:49 pm #1134199👑RebYidd23ParticipantThere is now!
2. Why should it?
4. There are different versions of the story.

Mirrors *do* reflect sound… just as much as any other glass surface.
