​1)       Shouldthe congregation be reading the Haftoroh along with the Reader? [1]2)       Unfortunately, this past Shabbos we didn't have a minyan. If we have a minyan this coming Shabbos, could we read Parshas Shkolim for Maftir? [2]3)       A child isn't obliged to give Machatzis haShekel before Purim. But if the father gave on his behalf, he must continue doing so “forever”. Is that ‘forever' taken literally?[3]4)       Does a large walk-in fridge need to ave a Mezuzah? [4]5)       It is customary that after Havdolo, we dip our fingers in the spilled wine and place the wet fingers over our eyes. Does this custom apply to women too?[5]6)       When reciting Kiddush Levono, if East doesn't face Yerusholayim which direction should one face?[6]  7)       The Chazan forgot to include Tiskabel in Kaddish afterthe Amidah. Can that be corrected later?[7]8)       When a left-handed person ties his shoelaces, should he tie the left shoe first?[8]9)       Tying the left shoelaces first, does that apply to women too?[9]10)   Feedback on Tefillin-knot for lefties:[10]11)   Feedback on volume of water in packed snow:[11]To sponsor a Shiur – to honour a specialoccasion - contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com[1] ראה שוע"ר סי'רפד סי"א; שערי אפרים ש"ט סל"ג, הובא בביאור הלכה סי' רפד. ושלח ליהר"י פוזנר נ"י, שליח בשיקאגא, שאביו ז"ל סיפר לו שפעם אחת הכריזר' בעל חאסקינד ע"ה בשם כ"ק אדמו"ר מוהריי"צ נ"ע:הפטרהדארף מען הערן, ניט זאגן. זאגן די הפטרה איז א מנהג פון בורות. אויב יע זאגן איזשטילערהייט.הובאוהדברים בס' הליכות ומנהגי ש"ק (זליגסון) ע' צו. וראה שיחות קודש תשל"זאחש"פ סוס"ג; ארחות מנחם ע' נז; דברינו בארוכה בס' נתיבים בהלכה ומנהגסימן לב.[2] האריך בזה בשו"ת גנת וורדים או"ח כלל אסימן לה, ומסקנתו שאי אפשר להשלים אחרי שעבר יומו. ושאני פרשת השבוע, כי יש מקומותשמשלימים לקרות בתורה א' לג' שנים, לכן ניתן להשלים בשבת אחרת. משא"כ בפרשתהמועדות, דא"א להשלים אחר המועד. וה"ה לד' פרשיות.[3] ראה פיה"מלהרמב"ם שקלים פ"א מ"ג.[4] בס' שכל טוב (סי' רפו סל"ו) הביא דעות לכאןולכאן. ולחמודי דניאל דמחייב חדר קטן שהוא חלק מבית גדול, ה"ה לנדו"ד.[5] ראה שוע"ר סי' רצו ס"ה; אגרות קודשחי"ב ע' רכה-ו.[6] ראה פסקי תשובות סי'תכו אות טז; דברינו בסדר קידוש לבנה הע' 7..[7] ראה ס' שגיאות מי יבין ח"א סי' יט ס"ח.[8]  בס' דיני איטר פ"ב ס"ז כתבשיקשור של נעל ימין תחלה.

More laws on mezuzot, specifically placement of the mezuzah on the doorjamb - the Gemara's basic example is of a door on a pivot, not hinges, in contrast to modern day doors. Also, what was one to do if the entrance around the door itself couldn't take nails, etc., to affix the mezuzah? With creative solutions, depending on the material of the doorjamb. Plus, the doorposts need to be there for more than just supporting a portico or rooftop.

In this Parshas Mishpatim review, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the practical, common-sense laws (mishpatim) that follow the Ten Commandments—laws that “make sense” (e.g., damages, theft, honesty, fair treatment)—and contrasts them with chukim (statutes with no apparent reason, like the red heifer). He emphasizes that all mitzvot must be fulfilled because they are God's command—not only because we understand them.Key lessons:Mishpatim vs. Chukim — Mishpatim (rational laws) are intuitive (e.g., don't steal, don't murder); chukim defy human logic (King Solomon couldn't understand the red heifer). Yet both are binding—do them because “God said so,” not just because they “feel good.”No compromise in halacha — Halacha never splits the difference (e.g., no “30-foot sukkah” between 20 and 40 feet). Mezuzah on a slant is the only compromise: vertical (one opinion) + horizontal (other) = slant, reminding us that peace in the home requires compromise.Fulfill mitzvot beyond understanding — Even meaningful mitzvot (e.g., Hanukkah candles for history/light) must be done because commanded—not just for emotion or meaning. When the “feeling” fades, the command remains.Parenting parallel — Children must sometimes obey “because I said so” (no explanation)—builds discipline. Same with mitzvot: intellect (chukim) overrides emotion when needed.Mezuzah as reminder — On a slant to symbolize compromise for shalom bayit (peace in the home). Every glance at a mezuzah reminds: do mitzvot for God's sake, even when logic/emotion fails.The rabbi urges: don't rationalize away mitzvot when the reason doesn't resonate—fulfill them with joy and commitment because they are divine commands. Live intentionally: intellect + heart + command = true avodah._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 13, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 13, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

On today's page, Menachot 32, we learn about a unique "life hack" used by the household of King Munbaz, who would carry mezuzot on sticks while traveling to remember the mitzvah even when they weren't obligated to perform it. This small detail opens the door to the story of Munbaz himself, a first-century king who converted to Judaism and famously spent his fortune on charity, viewing it as a way to "save up" in a place where no one could steal. His example reminds us that our true wealth lies in the good we do for others. How can we turn our material resources into a spiritual investment that lasts forever? Listen and find out.

​1)       May one pour water from a kli shlishi through a coffee-filter on Shabbos? [1]2)      When checking out of a hotel on Shabbos morning, how do I handle my muktza belongings?[2]3)      It's early Shabbos morning and I'm concerned that the cholent in the crock-pot will get burned. One solution is to place spacers under the ceramic insert, to separate it from direct touch with the outer housing. For this purpose, may I tear some foil from a roll and crunch it into balls?[3]4)      I have a deep doorway (37 cm), including a door. Does it require one or two Mezuzos? And if just one Mezuzah is needed, where should it be placed?[4]  5)      Having painted a piece of ceramic at a Clay Café, do I need to toivel it after the glazing process is completed?[5]6)      May one lay Tefilin on a man who suffers from incontinence?[6]7)      My baby isn't getting enough milk. May I feed him milk from a bank of mother's milk?[7]8)      My baby hasn't gained enough weight to be able to have his Bris. Medical advice is to wait it out. But I'm told that if he is fed formula, the Bris will be possible sooner. Do I stick to the medical advice, or should I use ‘shortcuts' to hasten the Bris?[8]9)      Can used Menoros go into the waste?[9] 10)  Is gluten-free bread subject to the rules of Bishul Akum?[10]11)  Feedback on uttering the name of Hashem Ekyeh: To sponsor a Shiur– to honour a special occasion - contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com [1]ס'שבת כהלכה (ח"ב, פי"ד סל"ו) מתיר כזה בעלי תה. א"כ ה"הבקפה.[2]ראהשוע"ר סי' שט ס"ד שאינו חייב לנער: א) אם יוגרם הפסד לדבר המותר;ב) כשצריך לפנות המקום.[3]ראהשוע"ר סי' שמ סי"ז, חשש מתקן כלי. לענ"ד מזה שאין צריך מדה מסוימת,אין היתר. הצעתי להניח סכינים תחת הסיר.
