Podcasts about Maariv

This episode discusses the time to start and end davening Mincha and Maariv.

In this class we study the history and nusach of Maariv Aravim, the first Beracha of Keriat Shema for Arvit.

The unique status of Friday night Maariv

1)     I've said HaMapil and then realise that I haven't counted Sefirah. What should I do?[1]2)    A non-Shomer Shabbos picked up an open bottle of wine (not mevushal) to check the label. Is the wine Nesech?[2]3)    At Kiddush on one of the last nights of Pesach I said שהחיינו. Having realized my error, may I now drink the Kiddush wine?[3]4)    At Kiddush on the past Motzei Shabbos I realised that I had forgotten to include VaTodieinu in Maariv and I had carried something home from Shul. What now?[4]5)    During the Yomtov meal this past Motzei Shabbos I realized that I hadn't said the brocho Hamavdil at Kiddush. Do I recite it now, with another cup of wine?[5]6)    I have an open Sefer and I need to leave the room for a minute. May I place a mundane paper over the open Sefer?[6]7)    We learn that when praying alone one should omit Piyutim in the blessings flanking the Shema. Does that include the poem E-l Odon said on Shabbos?[7]8)    At specific points during Birchas Kohanim it is customary that the Kohanim sway to the right and the left. Is the main imperative that he sways his hands or he turns his face?[8][1] פסקי תשובות סי' רלט אות גפשיטא לי' שיספור בברכה.[2] בשו"עיו"ד סי' קכד סכ"ה מפורש להיתר, בנאד סתום. ובפתוח – במקום הפסד. וכלשכן במח"ש בזה"ז שיש מקום להקל. [3] שגיאות מי יבין (סי' נוסס"ד) מביא שהגרש"ז אויערבך הורה שרשאי לשתות. ואילו בנט"ג פסחפי"ד ס"ז הצריך לברך שנית.[4] בשוע"ר סי' תצדס"ג מבואר שאם טעם או עשה מלאכה טרם שהבדיל על הכוס, צריך להתפלל שנית. במשנהברורה (ביה"ל שם) מפקפק: א) אם שוה מלאכה לטעימה; ב) הפמ"ג מסופק אםחיוב חזרת התפלה נאמר גם אחרי שכבר הבדיל על הכוס. אבל בשוע"ר – "צריך לחזורולהתפלל ולהבדיל בתפלה וגם על הכוס" - משמע דלא שנא, דאי מיירי שעדיין לאהבדיל על הכוס, מאי קמ"ל? ועוד ועיקר, דמסיים "שאינו יוצא בהבדלה שעלהכוס בלבדה הואיל ואינה כהוגן..." – שבזה אין הבדל אם כבר הבדיל או לא.בביאור הלכה מציין שהדרך החיים אינו מחלק כהפמ"ג.דבריו בסי' לג, סמ"ח. וש"נ לדבריו להלן, היינו לסי' צז ס"ח.הדה"ח מבחין בין עשה מלאכה גמורה לבין הדליק נר, שבזה לא יצטרך לחזור עלהתפלה. הבחנה זו במלאכות מופיע בשוע"ר סי' רצט סי"ח, לענין אי-מחאהבנשים המקילות. אבל "אין דבריהם עיקר". אך מ"מ אולי כדאי לסמוך עלכך שלא ליכנס לחשש ברכה לבטלה.

Hamas, Israel truce talks intensify over Gaza "Ceasefire negotiations have intensified as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cites ""intense talks,"" amidst rising public outcry over his decision to resume bombing in Gaza. Hamas has confirmed that it received the proposal through Egypt and is reviewing a new truce and prisoner swap deal. However, the Palestinian resistance group also expressed reservations, with a senior official noting a ""red line"" regarding disarmament. Israel has waged a genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023, killing over 50,000 people." Israeli army corps press Netanyahu to prioritise hostages "Over 1,520 Israeli soldiers, commanders and veterans, including ex-generals and former Prime Minister and army chief Ehud Barak, have issued a powerful petition. They urge the Benjamin Netanyahu-led far-right government to prioritise the release of Israelis held in Gaza, even if it means ending the war. Published by Maariv, a Hebrew-language daily newspaper, the appeal reflects mounting pressure from within the military ranks. Nearly ten such petitions have surfaced since Thursday. Prime Minister Netanyahu has responded with threats to dismiss any active-duty signatories, deepening tensions within Israel's military and political circles." UN chief warns deepening Sudan crisis as civil war enters its third year "UN Chief Antonio Guterres has issued a stark warning as Sudan's brutal war enters its third year. Over 12 million people have been uprooted in what he calls the world's largest displacement crisis. Most of those who fled the country mainly went to Ethiopia, Egypt, Central African Republic and Chad. With famine looming and 25 million facing acute hunger, Guterres condemned attacks on civilians and aid workers, urging global action. “The world must not forget Sudan,” he stressed, pushing for peace and accountability as the death toll nears 130,000." US, El Salvador leaders meet to enhance ties, address crime issues "US President Donald Trump welcomed his El Salvadoran counterpart, Nayib Bukele, to the White House, emphasising a ""historic partnership"" aimed at improving global safety. The two leaders discussed El Salvador's role in holding US-deported criminals in the Terrorism Confinement Center also known as CECOT prison, with Trump highlighting the removal of violent offenders from American streets. Discussions also covered economic growth, tariffs, and security, with Trump's tariffs impacting Salvadoran exports. Bukele's visit marks a pivotal moment in US-El Salvador relations, strengthening cooperation on criminal justice and regional prosperity." Harvard faces $2.2B freeze for defying Gaza protest policies "The Trump administration has intensified pressure on academic institutions to intervene and stop student protests criticising Israel's war against Palestine. Harvard University is facing a $2.2 billion freeze in federal funding after rejecting demands from the Trump administration over its Gaza protests and policies. The administration's demands, including a crackdown on pro-Palestine demonstrations and a ban on campus masking, were swiftly denied by Harvard, with President Alan Garber defending the institution's independence. The move follows similar actions against Columbia, Cornell and Northwestern universities. Critics, like Senator Bernie Sanders, praised Harvard's defiance."

Episode 92.  Jews had lived in Libya since the third century BCE, but 1967 marked their final expulsion from the majority Muslim country. Raphael Luzon was a child at the time and fled with his family. Like many, they went to Italy. Overnight, his environment changed. Gone were his Jewish, Muslim and Catholic classmates. Gone was the exchange of holiday greetings with Muslim neighbors. But all was not lost. Those relationships had planted a seed, and that seed grew. Over the decades since university, Raphael has used his religious and cultural knowledge, along with his Arabic, Italian and English, to work in journalism, management, and interfaith dialogue. Within this latter sphere, he has brought high-level religious leaders like the Dalai Llama and Catholic cardinals together for constructive interfaith discussions. In this conversation, you'll hear stories of success, disappointment and perseverance. Especially in these trying times, it's good to be reminded that connection is possible and what it takes to reach that goal. Highlights: Upbringing as an Orthodox Jew in Libya.Instances of "gentleman hypocrisy" and the challenges of integrity in public.Overcoming challenges and finding common ground through religious literacy, sacred texts and mutual respect.The importance of timing and recognizing when constructive dialogue can occur.Participants must be a believer and open-minded, not seeing their religion as the ‘right' way. Trialogue interrupted by challenges.Ongoing initiatives like MENA 2050.Libyan unity and justice effort.Bio:  Raphael was born in Bengasi, Libya. Thrown out of Libya after a bloody pogrom during the “Six Day War”, in he moved 1967 to Rome, Italy, where he lived for 27 years. He then lived in Israel for 6 years.He completed a degree in Political Science at University of Romaat, then worked for 16 years in diplomacy dealing with: Organization, Press and Information, Commercial and Economics, and Administration. He was also a press correspondent in Italy, for Israeli newspapers and media, including Maariv and Hadashot and the Israeli Radio Galei Zahal. In Israel Raphael was active in journalism & management.Currently, Raphael resides in Europe as Manager of a company dealing with Judaica items, books, craft and silver gifts. Raphael's major interests include politics, movies, reading, opera, oriental music, travelling, computers and interfaith dialogue. Social Media links for Raphael: Website – https://rluzon.netTranscript on BuzzsproutSocial Media links for Méli:Website – the Talking with God ProjectMeli's emailLinkedIn – Meli SolomonFacebook – Meli SolomonFollow the podcast!The Living Our Beliefs podcast is part of the Talking with God Project.

1)     Need we have meat for our Purim meal?[1]2)    Does a Kohen under BarMitzva join the adults for BirchasKohanim?[2]3)    Is there Torah guidance re. putting a pet to sleep due to its frail condition?[3]4)    May I put cold water in an electric urn just before Shabbos?[4]5)    A Kohen shouldn't marry a woman whose mother is Jewish but her fatherisn't. If they did get married they don't have to separate. Does the ‘defect' carry over to the next generation, i.e. may a Kohen marry their daughter?[5]6)    In the Chabad Siddur there are several instances where an alternative version [נ״א] is brought, e.g. לא תסור or אל תסיר in Maariv. Why are those versions quoted?[6]7)    In the Shiroh, is the word Tzolalu or Tzolelu?[7]8)    A woman washed her hands for Netilas Yodayim andrealized afterwards that she hadn't removed her wedding ring. Does she need to wash again? With a brocho?[8]9)    A Barmitzvah boy has prepared – in error – part of a parsha that is the week before he turns thirteen. Is there room to allow to read from the Torah before he turns thirteen?[9]10)  Over several years, when the 10th of Shevat was on a Friday, the Rebbe זי"ע delivered a Maamor between Kabolas Shabbos and keGavno. Any insight?[10][1] בס' נטעי גבריאל – פוריםפע"א הביא מקורות לאכול בשר בהמה דוקא. ועכ"פ נוהגים לאכול קרעפכעןבסעודת פורים.[2]ראה שוע"ר סי'קכח סמ"ט.[3] ראה ס' מעשי ה' (מהר"אאשכנזי) מעשה בראשית ס"פ יב.  [4] בס' מגדל דוד (ריביאט,בישול, הע' 183) מביא משו"ת אגרות משה (או"ח ח"ד סי' עד:כג) לאסור.ומביא שם שיש מקילים בזה קצת. וע"ע פסקי תשובות סי' רנג אות כב.[5] ראה שו"עאה"ע סי' ד ס"ה שהולד כשר לקהל אבל פגום לכהונה. בחלקת מחוקק פירש שאםבת נשואי-תערובת נישאה לכהן, לא תצא, אבל הוולד הוא ספק חלל, ע"כ. וא"כגם הנכדה אסורה לכהן.[6] י"ל דהוי כמוקריכתיב, שבמחשבה יש לכוין שני הפירושים.

Hilchot Chupa Vekedushin Part 7: Is it better to look at pritzus regularly so I will be desensitized and it won't turn me on?!! It's Assur to daven mincha/maariv in middle of a Chasuna!!!??

Shiur given by Rabbi Bezalel Rudinsky on Dvar Halacha Krias Shema. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

We discuss the importance of declaring the end of Shabbat by saying Baruch hamvdil beyn kodesh l'chol if one wants to perform work after Shabbat and one has not made Havdalah in Maariv nor over a cup of wine.

1)     In Tehilim #37 there are verses beginning with each of the א-ב in sequence, with the exception of the letter ע. Why was that letter omitted?[1] 2)    Our Beis Chabad has a set time for Friday-night Maariv. Due to the fast this Friday, may I make Kiddush and break my fast before Maariv?[2] 3)    Purim this year is on a Friday. Would we be allowed to start our communal Purim meal close before Shabbos, pause for candle-lighting, and then continue with Kiddush & Lechem Mishne and the Shabbos meal?[3] 4)    Lechatchila the Purim feast should be earlier in the day. Is that before noon or before the 10th hour?[4] 5)    May a gold pendant with Hashem's name be melted and recycled?[5] 6)    I immersed utensils in a body of water that's only there following rainfall. Is that valid?[6] 7)    May I hold on to my Maaser-money long-term, or must I distribute it sooner than later?[7] 8)    What is the source of the custom not to visit the same grave twice in the same day?[8] 9)    At the opening of this week's Sedra there is no gap in the Sefer Torah[9]. What if the Sofer did leave a space of two letters?[10] 10)  Feedback on the Eggrolls: If deep-fried, they are Mezonos. [1] על פי קידושין ל, א. [2] ראה פסקי תשובות סי' רעא הע' 53. [איהו מיירי מבעוד יום, ולכך מצריך קבלת שבת תחלה. אבל בנדו"ד כבר קידש היום]. אכן לפמ"ש בשו"ע סי' רלה ס"ב ובמשנ"ב שם סקט"ז, לא יאכל 'מזונות' יותר מכביצה. [3] דיני פורס מפה ומקדש – בשוע"ר סי' רעא סעיפים י-יא. וראה נתיבים בשדה השליחות ח"ב ע' 151. עצה לבעל נפש: לקיים סעודתו בשחר, ולא יתחיל הסעודה עם האורחים, ובהגיע הזמן אז יברך על היין ולחם-משנה כרגיל. [4] ב'נתיבים' שם כתבתי להתיר להתחיל הסעודה לכתחילה עד שעה עשירית – ע"פ שוע"ר סי' רמט ס"ז. אבל ברמ"א כתב לערוך הסעודה בשחרית, והוא ע"פ מנהגי ר' אייזיק טירנא. וכתב בקצות השלחן (סי' סט הע' ח) שי"ל דשאני סעודת פורים דשכיחא בה שכרות. וראה העו"ב גל' תתיד. אכן בשו"ת מהרי"ל סי' נו:ח מתיר עד שעה י'. [5] דין מחיקת השם – יו"ד סי' רעו ס"ט. [6] קצור שו"ע סי' לז ס"ב. [7] ראה שו"ע יו"ד סי' רנז ס"ג. ההיתר לתת לגבאים לצרף אותה לזהב – פירש בערוך השלחן, כי לולא כן אסור לגבאי לפרוט לעצמו כו'. ולולא דבריו הו"א שהכוונה שהם רשאים לשמור הממון לזמן ממושך. ציטוט מס' דרך אמונה הל' מתנות עניים פ"ח. [8] צוואת ר' יהודה החסיד אות יב. [9] ראה רש"י על הפסוק. ובתורה שלימה מביא מכמה מדרשים ומזח"א רטז ע"ב. בלשון אדה"ז (שו"ת סי' א): "סתומה גמורה". וא"ת שחלוקת הפרשיות אינה מן התורה? י"ל מזה שעזרא תיקן להתחיל הקריאה השבועית מפסוק זה, משמע שזה ענין חדש. וא"כ למה לא הוצבה כאן הפסקת פרשה - ראה תורה שלימה כאן. [10] בש"ך יו"ד סי' ערה סק"א מביא בשם הב"ח להקל בעשה ריוח במקום שאין פרשה, ומסיק "ואין דבריו מוכרחים". גם הט"ז שם סק"א פוסל. אכן בנדו"ד, ראה שו"ת חיים שאל סי' עד:ה שהקיל בזה.

1)    Please address the opening of the Oron Kodesh to Jewish or non-Jewish visitors:[1] 2)    Does a blind person have the mitzvah of lighting the Menorah?[2] 3)    I like to make a fruit-drink with berries. I have a jug that will pour the drink whilst retaining the berries. May this jug be used on Shabbos?[3] 4)    A woman repaired the shirt she tore kriah with when her mother died. Is she allowed to use that shirt?[4] 5)    Is there a known explanation why we alternate hands when washing Negel Vasser?[5] 6)    Are Dagim egg-rolls Mezonos or HaMoitzie?[6] 7)    We have a very tight minyan for Maariv bizmano. Sometimes we have just six men davening, plus some others who've davened earlier. One of our six davens much slower than the rest of us. Do we have to wait for him to finish before saying Kaddish?[7] 8)    Are disposable cups acceptable for Kiddush? [8] 9)    When visiting Iceland I see the Northern Lights night after night. Do I saw the brocho עושה מעשה בראשית each night?[9] 10)  Candelabra that has seven lamps?[10] 11)  Does the name Bethel have kedusha?[11] [1] קפידה מלמעלה על חזקיהו המלך – מלכים- פ"כ; ספר חסידים סי' תקלג; שו"ת יביע אומר יו"ד ח"ג סי' טו (שם מתיר רק מפני האיבה); נתיבים בשדה השליחות ח"ב סי' טז (ע' 266 ואילך). על הבאת ס"ת לקראת מלך – ראה חינוך מצוה שעט. [2] למגן אברהם סו"ס תרעה בשם רש"ל, מדליק בברכה. בשע"ת שם, מהיעב"ץ במור וקציעה, שלא יברך. וכן פסק בקצש"ע. [3] ראה שבת כהלכה ח"ב פי"ב סי"ט. [4] בשו"ע יו"ד סי' שמ סט"ו מזהה שני רבדים בתיקון קרע: שולל, מאחה. הראשון, תפרים לא שווים. השני, תפירה שווה. קרע על הורה "אינו מאחה לעולם". [5] דין הנטילה בסירוגין – בשוע"ר [מהדו"ק] סי' ד ס"ד, עפ"ד האריז"ל. באלי' רבה (שם אות ה) מעדיף ליטול ג"פ רצופים. להעיר מהמבואר ב'רשימות' נג על תהליך ההרחבה בקורות על פתח האולם. [6] מפורש להיתר בשוע"ר סי' רפד ס"ח. [7] קדיש זה ניתקן "אחר תפלת ערבית, שכבר נשלמה התפלה" (שוע"ר ר"ס נה). מסתבר שצ"ל "גמר התפלה" של רוב הצבור. [8] בשוע"ר סי' קפג הביא שצ"ל 'חי' = שלם. וא"כ לא די בהיותו כלי, אלא צ"ל שלם כו'. בימי בחרותי נשלחתי מהגרזש"ד ז"ל לקנות כוסות פלסטיק בשיעור 4 אונס, לקידוש שערך בשמע"צ. להמליץ כוסות של זכוכית. וזה יחסוך בשערורי' של המקדשים על יי"ש, שמלוא כוס של יי"ש עולה כי כמה כוסות. וראה קונטרס 'משקה' – גם באנגלית - מהר' דניאל שי' גולדברג (נ"י תשמ"ד). [9] ראה סדר ברכת הנהנין סוף פי"ג.. אם הם נראים מדי ליל, אולי לדמות לרואה ים הגדול וכו', שמברך רק אחר ל' יום שלא ראה. [10] ראה יו"ד סי' קמא ס"ח. [11] באלי' רבה סי' קמב סק"ג נקיט שאין בו קדושה, הובא בפתחי תשובה יו"ד סי' רעו ס"ק יד.

Could they not accept that we have precedent that things of lowly origin can be elevated, for example, Dovid HaMelech?   13:45 - Could it be that the Sanhedrin was disbanded by Hashem in order that Halacha not become too cumbersome?   19:05 - Are there some foods that are less treif than others?   23:25 - Could someone who believes in the truth of Judaism believe in the elements of truth within other religions?   31:10 - Could we re-institute the Sanhedrin?   36:15 - Is someone believed to say they are Jewish?   39:14 - Is it better to struggle to keep almost all of Shabbat or keep all of Shabbat with ease?

The podcast episode discusses various halachic (Jewish legal) topics related to Maariv on Motzei Shabbat (the evening prayer after Shabbat ends). It begins with an exploration of the concept of Tosefet Shabbat, the obligation to add a bit of time from the weekday into Shabbat, which is done by delaying Maariv slightly. The episode covers different customs and the significance of reciting certain psalms and songs before Maariv on Motzei Shabbat. We further examine the precise moment when Shabbat officially ends, explaining the halachic requirement to wait until three medium-sized stars are visible in the sky. The discussion then shifts to the complexities of timing, particularly in situations of cloud cover, and the importance of being certain that night has fallen before engaging in activities prohibited on Shabbat.

Shiur given by Rabbi Bezalel Rudinsky on Medrash Pliyah Parshas Vayeitzei. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

In this shiur, delivered in Ba'er Miriam, Rav Burg explains the inner connection between Yaakov Avinu skipping the Beis HaMikdash and returning to it through Kefitzas HaDerech, the institution of Maariv and Har HaMoriah. When we daven in our lowest moments we can skip over the normal process and find ourselves at untold spiritual heights.

*) Israel, Hezbollah claim victory as Gaza genocide continues Both Israel and Hezbollah are declaring themselves victors after their recent clashes ended with a ceasefire. The Israeli army boasted about crippling Hezbollah's capabilities and eliminating its senior leaders. Meanwhile, Hezbollah framed the conflict as a strong defence against Israel's ground incursion, asserting it stood firm “in support of the steadfast Palestinian people”. Hezbollah also claimed “victory” in the conflict and warned it remains “fully ready” to respond to any future Israeli moves. *) Israel didn't win in Lebanon, truce agreed ‘under duress' — Netanyahu ally A far-right Israeli minister has blasted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, accusing it of being forced into a ceasefire in Lebanon and failing to defeat Hezbollah. Speaking to Maariv, Israeli Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu didn't mince words, calling the ceasefire terms “terrible” and criticising Israel's dependence on US backing. Eliyahu, from the far-right Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party, was particularly critical of the deal, which his party leader, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, opposed in the security cabinet vote. *) Mexico warns Trump's tariffs could destroy 400,000 US jobs Mexico has fired back at President-elect Donald Trump's tariff threats, warning they could boomerang badly on the US economy. Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard cautioned that imposing 25 percent tariffs on Mexican imports would be a costly mistake for US businesses. Citing figures from American car manufacturers with operations in Mexico, Ebrard said “about 400,000 jobs in the US would be lost”. *) Volkswagen to sell operations in China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region Volkswagen is cutting ties with its operations in China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region amid ongoing allegations of human rights abuses, including forced labour. The German auto giant announced plans to sell its factory in Urumqi, the region's capital, along with a test track in Turpan, to a Chinese firm. A company spokesperson confirmed the sale to Shanghai Motor Vehicle Inspection Center (SMVIC) in a press release issued Wednesday. *) UK counter-terrorism police arrest six over ‘PKK activity' British police said they arrested six suspects and were conducting raids in London as part of a counter-terrorism investigation into links with the banned terrorist PKK organisation. Acting Commander Helen Flanagan said the arrests came after a detailed investigation into activities the British police believed were connected to terrorist activity tied to the PKK. Officers searched eight locations across the city, including a community centre in north London, which has been ordered to close for two weeks.

[5] ראה שוע"ר סי' תצו סעיפים ד' וה'. [6] אע"פ שהכהן "עקר רגליו בעבודה", אבל גם צריך שיגיע לדוכן לפני סיום 'מודים' (שוע"ר סי' קכח סי"ב). [7] סדור אדה"ז הלכות ציצית [ע' תריא]. וראה שו"ע או"ח סי' יא סט"ו ובמשנ"ב שם ס"ק עג. [8] סדור אדה"ז שם [ע' תרי]. [9] ראה פסקי תשובות (סי' תקכז הע' 33) בשם שו"ת מגדנות אליהו (ח"ג סי' קיח) שיש לסמוך על הסברא הפוטרת את המבשל בשבת סמוך לחשיכה כשהמאכל נגמר משחשיכה. לבד מזה: בשוע"ר סי' תקג סי"ג שלא קנסו על מעשה יו"ט [במזיד!] בכה"ג.

A mourner leads all services except on days when Musaf is recited, in which case he does not even lead Maariv. The language on the tombstone should not be significantly different from those around it. It should mention the lineage to remind people of the predecessor and evoke a strong awakening, as stated in the Zohar. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/011/007/3382

Von Israel aus erobert Ephraim Kishon mit seinem feinsinnigen Humor die Herzen der Deutschen, wird gar ihr Lieblingsschriftsteller. Zur Welt kommt er in Ungarn am 23.8.1924. Von Jutta Duhm-Heitzmann.

1) In Eichah, from ch.2 onwards, the letter פ precedes the letter ע. Why?[1] 2) Does one who has to eat on Tisha b'Av keep to a regime of ‘shiurim'?[2] 3) Why do we – on Shabbos mornings - invoke “intense Divine mercy” for the communities that were massacred by the Crusades?[3] 4) In Russian culture it is common to attach a photo of the deceased to a gravestone. When realizing that this isn't the Jewish way, one of our mekurovois removed the photos from the graves of her dear ones. May she bring these photos home?[4] 5) We don't sleep on the floor on Tisha b'Av. What about any other day?[5] 6) On the evening of his Bar Mitzvah, is it okay to Daven Maariv early with a Minyan?[6] 7) Does one who is a ‘chiyuv' lead the davening on Tisha b'Av?[7] 8) A man comes to Shul on Tisha b'Av morning. He isn't wearing Tzitzis. Should I give him a Tallis, especially if I want to give him an Aliya?[8] 9) Should one encourage the giving of Tzedoko prior to davening Maariv?[9] 10) Following on from discussion re. Section Challos: I have a single loaf for Shabbos; do I skip Lechem Mishneh or do I slice it into two pieces for Lechem Mishneh?[10] 11) Feedback on sitting/standing during Krias haTorah:[11] 12) Feedback on Yichud in a car:[12] Zoom Meeting ID: 976 485 2268 [1] סנהדרין קד ב; תורה תמימה עה"פ. [2] בס' המנהגים-חב"ד ע' 45 מובא ענין השיעור בד' צומות. [3] מעלתן – פסחים נ ב. וראה ספר השיחות תנש"א ח"א ע' 234. 'דגלנו' תמוז נ"ב.
