​ 1)      As a sideline I research topics and write up my conclusions, for which I am paid per hour. Is it okay for me to invoice for hours of research done on Shabbos?[1]2)      Does a disused doorway, blocked by furniture, still need to have a Mezuzah?[2]3)      In the verse "לא יכבה בלילה נרה", some Sidurim have BaLayloh, others have VaLayloh:[3]4)      How do I calculate Maaser for investments that keep onreinvesting their profits?[4]5)      How should Hashem's name be said when praying in English: some Sidurim have HaShem, other A-do-noy, L-rd.

If we start the meal early, do we say Yaale veYovo as well as Retzei in Birkas haMozon?[6]7)      Is there a concern of Yichud for one travelling alone by bus intercity?[7]8)      Correction to story about Friday-night Minyan bizmanoh in Long Beach NY: [8]To sponsor a Shiur – to honour a special occasion -contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com[1] ראה שמירת שבת כהלכתהפכ"ח סס"ד שכאשר העבודה הוא חלק מהתחייבות רחבה, זה נקרא 'הבלעה' ומותרלקבל תשלום לשעות השבת. וכן יש להבין בשוע"ר סי' שו ס"ט.[2] ביו"ד סי' רפוסי"ז מבואר שפתח שאין רגילים בו פטור ממזוזה. וראה פתחי שערים יו"ד סי'רפו סי"ז; שכל טוב יו"ד שם ס"ק רמד. ואע"פ שכלי המכיל מ' סאהנחשב כבנין, אבל לא שמענו שלהזיז כלי זה ייחשב כסתירה. בדיני ממונות, העובדא שלאפרץ את הפצימין מראה שעדיין במחשבתו לחזור ולפתוח הסתימה. וכן מצינו לענין התופרכנף הטלית, שלא נפטרה מן הציצית, מטעם הנ"ל.[3] בכמה ספרים היא דגושה,הגם שהיא סמוכה לה"א של "יכבה", בגלל הטיפחא שהוא טעם מפסיק. ברםבטעמי אמ"ת זו טרחא שהוא טעם מחבר.

​1)      In the paragraph beginning הא לחמא עניא, the words לשנה הבאה appear twice. The Rebbe Rashab נ"ע would pronounce the first in the present tense and the second in the future tense. Why the difference?2)      What is the reason for the Tzitzis-threads being made of eight strands?[1]3)      On Fridays I put on Tefilin with an elderly man in the Jewish Old Age Home. This week I was late and he had already had (early) Kiddush. Could he still put on Tefilin?[2]4)      It's ten minutes after sunset and a Jewish mother is ready for her baby son to have a Bris. The Mohel leaves town before tomorrow morning. May he perform the Bris? [3]5)      In our country only a qualified doctor may perform a Bris. As Shluchim, we often bring a frum doctor for this purpose. But the local Liberal community have a Jewish doctor who will use a clamp and local anaesthetic. Would that be valid bedieved?[4]  6)      Does a mobile kitchen need to have a Mezuzah?[5]7)      I wish to prepare a sweetened coffee essence for Pesach, before Yomtov. Do I have to boil and filter the sugar and the coffee? (Both products have a Pesach-hechsher).8)      For Pesach, we have hitherto been using coarse salt. Where we live, this is no longer available with a hechsher for Pesach. Would it be preferable to use instead fine salt that has a hechsher?9)      Further details on the way the Rebbe זי"ע would separate Challoh from each box of Matzo-packages, whilst the boxes were covered with a sheet of brown paper: To sponsor a Shiur – to honour a special occasion -contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com[1]  מובא בשיורי ברכה סי' יא סק"ד;קצור של"ה; מנחת אהרן כלל ב:יב; ס' רביד הזהב (ברדא) בשם ס' מטעמים, שבכך ישסך-הכל של רנ"ו חוטים, כמנין כנפי המלאכים, ד' פנים לד' פנים, וד' כנפים לכלאחד מהם, ולכל כנף ד' גדפין.  [2] מבואר בשוע"ר סי' לס"ה, שלדעה הב' שם יניח אז תפילין. אלא שי"א שלא יברך על הנחתן – ראהדברינו בנתיבים בשדה השליחות ח"ב ע' 26-27.[3] בשו"ת שבט הלויח"ח סי' ריד אוסר למול בבין השמשות, ולא לסמוך על השקיעה המאוחרת שלר"ת. לאידך, אם ככה יישאר ערל כל ימיו, מוטב למול גם בלילה ממש.[4] שמעתי ממוהל-מומחה שהםעלולים גם להשאיר ציצין המעכבין את המילה.[5] כמה שו"ת אחרונים מחייבים במזוזה – אם היאדירת קבע – ראה ס' שכל טוב סי' רפו אות קעח. אבל בנדו"ד לא נראה כל כך אפילוכמקום המיוחד לאכילה.

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.
