<p>A weekly shiur by Dayan Levi Yitzchok Raskin, Rov of Anash in London, explores interesting Torah questions and halachic dilemmas. The following issues are discussed by Dayan Raskin in this week’s episode: 1) In Tanya the Alter Rebbe addresses eating early morning before a personal-fast “some three hours before sunrise”. Does the same apply to communal fasts?[1] 2) When the angels visit Avrohom Ovinu, they enquire about Soroh Imeinu. Our sages say that they wished to give her of Kos shel Brocho. But Rashi writes that, since Soroh became temeioh, Avrohom did not serve bread. So, what was the call for the wine?[2] 3) May I give the honor of Kvater to a couple who aren’t observing Taharas haMishpocho? 4) On Monday morning in Shul someone approaches me after Shmoine Esrei saying that he had forgotten to say the Morning Brochos, including Birchos haTorah. What should he do now. As an extra measure I arranged that he be called up to the Torah:[3] 5) My parents are divorced. My mother asks me to say Kaddish in memory of her late father ע"ה. Must I get explicit permission from my father to do so?[4] 6) Recently the Hechsher was withdrawn from several lines of imported food. Are customers entitled to a refund?[5] 7) I have been teaching in a High-School for several decades. Occasionally I need to take off work and I get a substitute. If I pay my sub at a lower rate per hour that what I am paid, may I accept the full payment per hour?[6] 8) My non-Jewish decorator wishes to collect his equipment from my house on Shabbos. Is that permitted?[7] 9) Is there a requirement to use a tablecloth for the table where one is dining?[8] 10) May I go to Starbucks to have a black coffee?[9]</p>

<p>1) May one who is allergic to wheat rely on rice for קידוש במקום סעודה?<a href="#_ftn1">[1]</a></p> <p>2) I often hear the question (on your shiur and elsewhere): "Am I obligated to give <em>maaser </em>on..." and many similar. But isn't <em>maaser </em>today just an optional <em>minhag</em>?<a href="#_ftn2">[2]</a></p> <p>3) One weekday morning in our <em>Shul</em>, a <em>Kohen </em>visiting from <em>EY</em> went forward to say <em>Birkas</em> <em>Kohanim</em>. Should we go along with it or should we tell him that it’s not done in <em>Chu</em>”<em>l</em>?<a href="#_ftn3">[3]</a></p> <p>4) Is there flexibility to allow a Bar Mitzva to have his Aliya one day early?<a href="#_ftn4">[4]</a></p> <p>5) Feedback on not being <em>Yoitze</em> the full <em>bentsching</em> by reciting <em>Al haMichya</em>:<a href="#_ftn5">[5]</a></p> <p>6) Why is it Chabad custom not to wear a watch on Yomtov?<a href="#_ftn6">[6]</a> </p> <p>7) Feedback on attaching a key to a belt on Shabbos:</p> <p>8) Re. Kol Isha: The Alter Rebbe continues the <em>Kol HaRagil</em> category with "even <em>Kol Zemer" </em>and proceeds with conditions. This aspect was not mentioned; am I misunderstanding the Alter Rebbe?<a href="#_ftn7">[7]</a></p> <p>9) What was presented on the screen (week 30) appears to discuss the issue of a father hearing his daughter singing, not about a sister. The same re. the second snippet regarding hugging and kissing. In week 31 it was mentioned briefly that there is a Posek that allows some level of affectionate contact between siblings. But Shulchan Aruch Even Haezer 21:7 only permits this between father/daughter mother/son?</p> <p>10) I laid <em>Tefilin</em> with a man. He later tells me that he’s a leftie. So, I put on the Hand-Tefilin on his right arm. Does he repeat the <em>brocho</em>?<a href="#_ftn8">[8]</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="#_ftnref1">[1]</a> <a href=""> </a>ראה שו"ע או"ח סי' רעג ס"ה ובנו"כ; שוע" שםס"ז; פסקי תשובות שם אות ח.</p> <p><a href="#_ftnref2">[2]</a> <a href="">ראה שו"ע יו"ד סי' רמט ס"א; ס' צדקה ומשפט פ"ה ס"ב.</a> באם מבקשים ממנו צדקה – זה שיעור לפוטרו!</p> <p><a href="#_ftnref3">[3]</a> <a href="">ראה שוע"ר סי' קכט ס"ב.</a></p> <p><a href="#_ftnref4">[4]</a> ראה שו"ע קמג ס"א; סימן רפב ס"ג; כף החיים שם אות כב.</p> <p><a href="#_ftnref5">[5]</a> <a href="">שאלה זו הובאה באגרות קודש (ח"ד ע' כד), שם הביא מס' ליקוטי מאיר [בנט, ברדיוב תרצ"ב, ע' 49] וס' ברכת יעקב [רוזנבוים, לובלין תרצ"ד, ע' 104] בשם ס' עקרי הד"ט (או"ח סי' ט סעיף לו) ושו"ת תשורת ש"י (אות תקעא) שצריך לחזור ולברך, "ואין ספרים הנ"ל תחת ידי, אבל כנראה, טעמם מפני שאין בה ברית ותורה". ואכן כן הדבר לגבי עיקרי הד"ט הנסמן שם [בשם שו"ת אגורה באהלך, שלוניקי תקמ"א], אבל בתשורת שי שם רק הוכיח מזה שלא הקילו לפועלים לברך מעין ג' במקום ג' ברכות, ש"מ דלא סגי בהכי.</a></p> <p><a href="#_ftnref6">[6]</a> ראה זכרונות של סבי ע"ה משנת תרפ"ח; זכרונות התמימים משנת תרצ"ב (הערה"ת מונטריאל פג-פה; סיפור על ר' יענקל כ"ץ ע"ה; כן עם ר"מ הארליג ע"ה (בית חיינו ה ע' 448). וראה שדי חמד ריש מערכת יו"ט (כרך ו ע' א'שלא) נטה להקל.</p> <p><a href="#_ftnref7">[7]</a> השואל הבין ש"קול זמר" נכלל ב"קול שרגיל בו". ואינו, כי אם ש"אפילו קול זמר" שלא שייך בו ההיתר של "קול הרגיל בו", אעפ"כ אם יכול לכוין בתפלה בענין שאינו שומע קול הזמר, מותר להתפלל.</p> <p><a href="#_ftnref8">[8]</a> ראה פסקי תשובות סי' כז אות יב.</p>

<p><a href="">1)</a> In <em>bentshing </em>on <em>Motzei Shabbos</em> I included <em>Retzei</em>.
