Brocho from the Rebbe for a Good Kvitel on Hashana Rabo

The Rebbe giving the Shana Tova Brocho

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 Must I get explicit permission from my father to do so?[4] 6) Recently the Hechsher was withdrawn from several lines of imported food.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] Zoom Meeting ID: 976 485 2268 Join Zoom Meeting: https://us102web.zoom.us/j/9764852268 Index to previous Panorama Shiurim: Panorama Index 2 - Google Docs Contribute toward Dayan Raskin's new Sefer: https://www.kehot.org/Dedicate/Products/HP-SRH ________________________________________ [1] תניא אגה"ת פ"ג; ס' המנהגים ע' 45; סדור ספירת העומר; יומא לד ב..

1)      One shouldn't make an interval between Kiddush and the meal. Is there a time limit?[1] 2)      Why do we cover the Hand-Tefilin while reciting the Brocho? [2] 3)      On Shabbos morning, may one take Shnitzel from the fridge and place it on the Shabbos plug-in hotplate? [3] 4)      Should the foods for the Shabbos meal be brought to the table only after Kiddush? [4] 5)      Regarding the Posuk alluding to one's recited near the end of Shmoneh Esrei: is there a preference to a Posuk that has the name spelt out [without it having 1st & last letters corresponding to the person's name], or to one that has 1st & last letters?[5] 6)      A Jewish-owned business gave me rotten service. May I put an appropriate review on the business's website? [6] 7)      May one send an unfinished Sefer Torah with a regular courier service?[7] 8)      We won't give successive Aliyos to two brothers, nor to a father and son. What about Hagbeh and Gelilah?[8] 9)      The halochos regarding skipping parts of davening when running late for Minyan – should we be teaching them to boys in Cheder?[9] [1] בשוע"ר סי' רעג ס"ה: "לאלתר אחר הקידוש". בקצות השלחן (סי' פא הע' י) מציע שיעור כדי אכילת פרס. בשוע"ר סי' רסג סי"א מצריך שהבעל יקבל שבת "לאלתר" אחר הדלקת הנרות [כאשר האשה אינה מקבלת שבת אז]. בקו"א שם כ' שהוא פחות הרבה מרביע שעה.

We discuss whether a separate brocha is made for pas kisnin or cake during a meal.

We learn that when a person makes the brocho on bread for others, they must listen, have intent, and answer amen to his brooch and he must listen and have intent to them saying amen.

A weekly shiur by Dayan Levi Yitzchok Raskin, Rov of Anash in London, explores interesting Torah questions and halachic dilemmas.

[1] 2)       Does a Tefach-wide panel serve as the third wall of a Succah?[2] 3)       What is the correct brocho for raw oats that were soaked in milk and or yogurt overnight?[3] 4)       This coming Tishrei will include three Shabbosos that will overlap with Yomtov. What if one missed the mention of Shabbos in the appropriate places in the fourth brocho, but did conclude with מקדש השבת וישראל והזמנים?[4] 5)       A cholent that consists of large chunks of potato and of meat – such that in a single spoonful it will be one food or the other: two brochos or one brocho?[5] 6)       Brocho on chicken-soup containing lokshen:[6] 7)       Carrying in front of our house:[7] 8)       Should the Shabbos table be covered with a white cloth?[8] Join Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9764852268 Index to previous Panorama Shiurim: Panorama Index 2 - Google Docs [1] ראה שוע"ר סי' שח סעיף נג. בשו"ע שם סכ"ב הביא דעה שגם בשימוש רגיל צריך ייחוד לעולם. ואדה"ז לא הביא שיטה זו. ואם מטלטל ברגלו בודאי אין לחשוש.

1) I'm davening Shacharis and the Chazanis repeating Musaf – may I join in with him to say Kedusha?[1] 2) I interrupted between תש''י and תש''ר to answer יהא שמה רבא etc., so now I need to anyhow make another Brocho on the של ראש. May I now answer other Omeins?[2] 3) Walking 4 amos between donning the Shel-Yadand the Shel-Rosh:[3] 4) At a funeral, may I put on Tefilin with men at some distance from the graves?[4] 5) If one man of the Minyan is on the other side of a portable מחיצה, can he be counted in the ten?[5] 6) I was davening Shmoine Esrei and said Kedushawith the Chazan. But then I forgot and sat down. When I realise, do I go back to the beginning of Shmoine Esrei?[6] 7) Feedback on eating ‘shiurim' on fast-days:[7] 8) Feedback on Mezonos status of sponge-cake: because of it's liquid content or because it's made with a runny dough?[8] 9) Feedback on discussion re. Muktzah of avocadoes that ripened on Shabbos: What about home-made yogurt that became ready on Shabbos: may it be eaten on Shabbos or is it דחוי בידיים? 10) Ribbis: Reuven buys a property, but Shimon takes out the mortgage. 11) Levi borrows with interest; Yehuda is his guarantor. If Yehuda pays the interest, for him to demand the same from Levi, is Ribbis. [1] שוע"ר סי' קט ס"ה.

How a stand-in chazan picks up from the mistake of the first chazan. Why no start of ‘Boruch' for ahava rabo brocho.

Under what conditions can the chazan exempt others from their obligation to say Yotzer Ohr (or other Brochos)?

Mixing the evening Shema brocho with the morning one of Yotzer Ohr. When do you fulfil you brocho obligation and when not?

Chelek 19, Brocho - Simchas Torah

1. Question on Nusach: In Mincha on Shabbos we say ומי כעמך ישראל, whereas most Sidurim have ומי כעמך כישראל. Why the difference?[1] 2. May a man trim his eyebrows?[2] 3. May a man use a shampoo to restore the colour of his hair?[3] 4. Please clarify the necessary amounts of Matzo to be ingested to fulfil the Mitzva of Matzo, of Korech and Afikoman:[4] 5. We live quite North, so the time between nightfall and midnight is quite short – especially in a leap year. On the second night of Pesach, how important is it that we have the first piece of Matzo before midnight?[5] 6. A boy was circumcised on Day Seven. Are there any further steps to be taken?[6] 7. One of our mispalelim davens slow, so he starts earlier and is thus able to start Shmone Esrei together with us. He usually finishes when the Chazan finishes the Repetition. Would it be better for him to start SE before us, and that way he will be able to respond to the repetition?[7] 8. The כוונה in the verse פותח את ידיך, is it imperative at all three recitals of אשרי?[8] 9. Brocho on blossoming trees during Nisan:[9] 10. Re. using tea bags on Shabbos: Is it wrong to mix the water around to get more flavour out of the bag while it is fully submerged in the water?[10] Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nipSDtnIGik&list=PLZXYYrOJjWO4Dw3qd7CFkSbAg2jeMRRXd&index=64 [1] בשמואל־ב (ז, כב) "כישראל"; "כעמך ישראל" בדברי הימים־א (יז, כא). טעם ע"פ קבלה: פע"ח שער השבת פכ"ג.

SheHechiyanu on the Torah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbIyLstTAQc&list=PLZXYYrOJjWO4Dw3qd7CFkSbAg2jeMRRXd&index=58 The investiture of Aharon & sons included placing some blood of their sacrifice on their right ear lobes, thumbs and large toes. Why these organs?[1] Our front yard has no wall separating it from the street, so we don't carry out there. We have a storeroom and a garage both opening to the front yard. If one person stands in the storeroom and another in the garage – and both doors are wide open, may one pass items to the other on Shabbos?[2] The doorway from the kitchen to the living room has no door. The kitchen is at the rear of the house and has a side door. We mostly enter the house via the front door and come through the living room to the kitchen. Which side does the Mezuza belong?[3] I'm out and about and I meet a Jew who is keen to put on Tefilin. Turns out that I only have Rabeinu Tam Tefilin with me. Yes/No? If yes: Brocho?[4] Does a video camera in a dairy farm enable the milk to be defined as חלב ישראל?[5] If I have lasagne for supper, is it Mezonos or haMotzie?[6] Trimming moustache; hair that interferes with eating:[7] Draining the fluid from a can of tuna (semi-opened before Shabbos), may I do so by holding the lid in closed position?[8] I struggle with saying קריאת שמע על המטה properly before retiring, because by then I'm often totally drained. Could I say it right after Maariv and repeat Shma later on?[9] Feedback on burning Challoh:[10] [1] תורה שלימה פ' תצוה ע' רטו. [2] שוע"ר סי' שמח ס"א; סי' שמז ס"ט. [3] קובץ רז"ש עמ' 58. פסקי דינים בהלכות סת"ם מהרז"ש דווארקין אות לו. [4] שלחן מנחם ח"א ע' צח. וראה פסקי תשובות סי' לד סוף סק"ב – מדין נדר. [5] פסקים ותשובות סימן קטו אות ו.

Before Shmone Esrei, we rise when saying תהלות לא-ל עליון. Why at that point?[1] What is the Brocho for ‘Ezekiel Bread'?[2] A patio-door made up of several doorways – does each one need a Mezuzah?[3] Do old Mezuza-cases need to be placed in ‘sheimos'?[4] For the burial of ‘Sheimos', may one use bio-degradable sacks?[5] We're on holiday and we need to Toivel some new utensils. May we do so in a local stream?[6] For immersing utensils, does the Mikva have to contain 40 Seah?[7] I prepare a batch of dough, enough to take Challoh. But I wish to freeze half of the dough, to bake at a future date. Should I separate Challoh with a brocho?[8] Someone who is a chiyuv arrived late to Shul. He wishes to take over the Omud after Shmone Esrei. Is it okay to do the switchover during Tachanun or should he wait until after Tachanun and the Kaddish thereafter?[9] Either way: Does Chazan #1 take 3 steps back?[10] Follow-on about placing raw chicken in the oven on Erev Shabbos:[11] Should books written by Chaim Walder be disposed of? Why was מכת בכורות at midnight?[12] [1] המקור במנהגי מהרי"ל – כי אז פותח הש"ץ בקול, הובא בדרכי משה סי' צ"ג וצ"ה. בקצור שו"ע (סי' יח ס"ב) חידש לצעוד ג' פסיעות לאחוריו כאן. כ"ק אדמו"ר זי"ע עשה כן כשלא היה ש"ץ. כשהי' ש"ץ צעד לאחוריו בין גאולה לתפלה. והוא כדברי התהלה לדוד סי' קיא סק"א – שאין בזה משום הפסק. [2] יחזקאל ד, ט. בשו"ת אגרות משה (ח"ד מ"ו) דן בנבט חטה. כאן נעשה לחם, והוי 'המוציא'. [3] שו"ע יו"ד סי' רפו סכ"א; ערוך השלחן שם סמ"ה; חובת הדר פ"ז סי"ט. אבל בשכל טוב סי' רפו ס"ק רסב חוכך להחמיר.

[8] שו"ע יו"ד סי' שכו ס"ב. לקט העומר (רי"י בלוי ז"ל) פ"ז ס"ג. דלא כהמעדני מלך המובא בפתחי תשובה יו"ד שם סוסק"ג. [9] רמ"א יו"ד סי' שעו. [10] אשכבתא דרבי ע' 56. [11] בשוע"ר סי' רנד ס"ב מבואר שחתיכות של בשר גדי ועוף מותר לצלותם מערב שבת בתוך תנור מכוסה, כי הרוח מזיק לבשר, ע"כ. לענ"ד זה לא שייך בנדו"ד, כי הרוח אינו מזיק. אם הגיע לחצי בישולו – מותר לשהות בלא גרו"ק ( ). [12] ראה באופן אחר – בעומק יותר – בלקוטי שיחות ח"ג שיחה לפרשת בא.

Arba Kosos Shel Brocho & Which is the Main Kos (Vaeira 5782)

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxRPRKgahdE&list=PLZXYYrOJjWO4Dw3qd7CFkSbAg2jeMRRXd&index=51 The clouds prevented us from reciting Kiddush Levono before the official cut-off point (Motzei Shabbos). But you allowed reciting it on Sunday night. Please explain:[1] Question following on from discussion about the Morning Brochos: I rise well before dawn. Should I be saying the Brocho about the rooster?[2] At a wedding meal I bentshed alone, and then the whole party made Zimun to bentsh. Do I respond "ברוך . . שאכלנו...", or have I already forfeited that opportunity?[3] A second marriage wedding has Sheva Brochos only on the day of the wedding. What if the Chupah was during the day, but the meal ended after nightfall?[4] I have company Friday night. May I place raw chicken in the oven, and only open the oven two hours later?[5] If some lights in Shul are off, may we ask the non-Jewish security guard - indirectly - to switch them on? Is this only permitted when it is a communal need?[6] At Kiddush, is it essential for everyone to have a sip of the wine?[7] Why do we use a braided candle for Havdoloh? Is a double-wick candle just as good?[8] May I leave my child with a non-Jewish babysitter?[9] Do I have to be concerned about the meat and wine in the house?[10] Feedback re. naming of a miscarried unborn foetus ר"ל. [1] סנהדרין מא ב; שו"ע או"ח סי' תכו ס"ג; חמרא וחיי לסנהדרין שם; רשימת הרב לנדא. [2] בסדור אדה"ז משמע שמברך אז רק אם נתחייב בברכה זו. משא"כ לאחר עלות השחר, שסומך על מנהג העולם. [3] ראה שוע"ר סי' קצד ס"א; כף החיים שם סק"ה. [4] חכמת אדם כלל קכט ס"ד, והוא המקור של קצור שו"ע סי' קמט ס"ד. [5] בתנור לא שייך לעשות גרוף וקטום. היתר בשר חי (רנג ס"ח) הוא לפי שלא ייגמר בישולו עד מחר, והוי היסח הדעת. גם: א) אולי בשר עוף מתבשל יותר מהר; ב) כשמניחה העוף בתנור לפני הדלקת נרות, הרי עד השקיעה כבר בשלה קצת. [6] שוע"ר סי' רעו ס"ח. אם יש קצת אור מכבר – מותר ליהנות מהתוספת (שש"כ פ"ל ס"ז. [7] שוע"ר סי' רעא סכ"ט. סי' קצ ס"ה. [8] שוע"ר סי' רחצ ס"ד. מהסיפא נראה דשפיר דמי. [9] נטעי גבריאל – יחוד פרק נא סי"א.

Unlimited Brocho That Comes from Middas HaGevurah (Toldos #2 5782)

1) Let's revisit the discussion re. Kedusha in ובא לציון: quiet or aloud? 2) The NHS Flu Jab contains derivatives “from porcine gelatine”. Is that OK? 3) Does walking from the house to the veranda constitute a change of location to require a new Brocho to be recited? 4) Kiddush has to be followed by a meal (מקום סעודה). Is leaving the room to wash for bread considered an interruption between Kiddush and the meal? 5) At Kiddush during Succos, we say the brocho לישב בסוכה. Do family members rely on this brocho, or should they say their own brocho when partaking of the bread? 6) At a Bris we bless כשם שנכנס לברית כן ייכנס לתורה לחופה ולמעשים טובים. The Sefardi version is: לתורה ולמצוות לחופה ולמעשים טובים. Why do we not say ולמצוות? 7) One who began eating on Friday afternoon and ran into Shabbos, has to stop and make Kiddush. A) Is the cut-off point shekiyah or nacht? B) Is there any difference whether the meal began with Hamoitzie or not? 8) I've seen Poilisher Chassidim making Kiddush on Shabbos day on a small shot-glass of alcohol. A) Are there mekoros for this? B) Would this work for Friday night too? 9) I visit ‘Old Age' homes regularly. Before Covid I would often put on Tefilin with the men. Now, for fear of catching the virus, they often just agree to say Shema. But, can I say Shema with one who is bare-headed? 10) In last week's Sedra (14:18), our Sefer Torah had the name מלכי צדק as one word, whereas the popular version is that that it is two words. Must we emend the text? [1] זהר ח"ב קכט א. מאמר רי"י שי' אלפרוביץ בקובץ ונכבשה הארץ. על יחס המלאכים ללשון ארמי – ראה שוע"ר סי' קא ס"ה. [1] נשמת אברהם יו"ד סי' פט ב:2.

The Brocho on Lulav and on Sukkah, Part 2 (Tishrei 5782)

Why There's No Brocho on Viduy (Vayelech 5782)

The following issues are discussed by Rabbi Raskin in this week's episode: May paper towels that have designs be used on Shabbos? [1] May one spread chocolate on biscuits that are engraved with letters? Should one cover the Hand-Tefillin for the duration of the Brocho? [2] When praying for a Kohen or Levi, does one include his title before mentioning his mother's name? When praying for a parent, should one refer to them as/preface their name with the title “avi mori / imi morasi“? [3] Correct placement of a mezuza for a patio door: Reuven borrows someone else's Tefillin and it is loose around his head. Is it enough to just pull the loop, or does he need to modify the קשר properly? [4] According to the Alter Rebbe, even a minority designation of heter causes something to be a kli shemelachto l'heter [5]. A car is also used for sitting on the seats, holding luggage, can that define the car as a kli shemelachto l'heter – to allow closing the door (when it won't switch off a light) even if the motive is to protect the car? [6] We use organic eggs. I find that most eggs have blood spots. Any solutions? [7] The Alter Rebbe in his Sidur writes that, whilst away from home, Tefilas haDerech should be recited daily, without HaShem‘s name in the ending. Does that include Shabbos?

The following issues are discussed by Rabbi Raskin in this week's episode: Connection of Mayim Acharonim to Sodom; why women don't usually wash mayim acharonim? [1] Is there a problem to use a powdered sugar shaker to sprinkle sugar on cake/doughnuts etc. on Shabbos? [2] May we have fish together with cottage cheese? [3] I wish to export alcohol to new markets, and I have a non-Jewish partner. May we also sell non-kosher wine? [4] I am contemplating bringing another Jewish partner, who is Sefardi. Does that make matters better or worse? A bris is scheduled for the afternoon; the celebrants are in Shul for Shacharis. Is tachnun recited? [5] I intended to name my son Aron Yaakov, but at the Bris I forgot to mention the name Yaakov. Can this name be added later? [6] Can a ceramic-tiled kitchen counter-top be kashered? [7] One wearing a Tallis to recite a brocho at a Chupah, should he say a brocho? [8] Some years ago I lent a substantial sum to a close relative “for a week”. So far he hasn't repaid. May I use my Maaser to pay off his debt? [9] I saw a rainbow in the rear-view mirror. Should I say the Brocho? [10]

The following issues are discussed by Rabbi Raskin in this week's episode: When lasagne is eaten as a meal, does it warrant the full Birkas haMozon? [1] What about Lokshen Kugel? [2] What's the story with having an under Bar-Mitzvah make up a minyan? [3] Is Tevilas Keilim required for a Pepper Mill? [4] A Jewish woman passed away and was buried kahalacha. Her relatives do not care about a matzeivoh. Do I need to fundraise to put up a matzeivoh? [5] Assuming that no Kohen was present, a Levi was called to the Torah. Whilst he was reciting the Brocho, we realized that a Kohen was present. What should be done? [6] A Jewish couple has a bechor in a place where there is no Kohen. Could the grandfather (in EY) arrange the Pidyon haBen remotely? [7] What's our Minhag regarding wearing Tefilin at a Bris? [8] Regarding leaving a square Amah undecorated, in memory of the Churban (destruction of the Temple), I see in many homes that they don't follow this. Why? [9] During Shema in Tefillin deRabenu Tam, should one answer Omein, etc.? Mixed Marriage re. Mezuza: this should depend on ownership: a Jewish man owned the house (or pays the rent) and his wife is not a Jewess, surely a brocho could be said when affixing the Mezuza? What about the main entrance of a building in which the flats are leasehold? Opening envelopes on Shabbos:
