Rabbi Benjamin Goldschmidt grew up in Moscow as the son of the city's chief rabbi, trained in Bnei Brak and Ponovezh, and spent a decade as assistant rabbi at Manhattan's Park East Synagogue — until he was abruptly and very publicly fired. In this raw conversation with Nachi Gordon, he opens up for the first time about that moment: the New York Post headline, the car crash he got into reading about himself, and the isolation of losing not just a job but an entire community. Out of that low point came Altneu, the congregation he and his wife built from nothing — starting with 40 people in their living room, then two and a half years of renting a different Manhattan venue every single week, never knowing until Thursday's email where Shabbos would be. Rabbi Goldschmidt walks through how that instability became the shul's strength, the breaking point that nearly ended the project, his father's advice that turned it around, and how it all led to buying a $35 million building on the Upper East Side. He also gets into what it's like leading a congregation through today's political climate in New York, and the loss of a beloved member that shook the whole community.   This episode is sponsored by:   ► PZ Deals   Download the app and never pay full price again!   https://app.pz.deals/install/mpp   _________________   ► Colel Chabad Pushka App   The easiest way to give Tzedaka   https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful   _________________   ► Shopify Guru   Store looks great but not selling the way it should?

When should a ba'al tefillah or ba'al keriyah be corrected - and when is it better to let the mistake go? If someone's talking, pacing, or other behavior is distracting the congregation, when is it appropriate for a gabbai or rav to intervene? What about a chazzan who is davening too slowly? When should he be asked to speed up - and when should the tzibbur simply be more patient? Which shul halachos should be enforced, and which are we too strict about?

He urges proper leadership, referencing sources that support women's presence in sacred spaces. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/012/006/4146

Yevamos 77b: Carrying Guns in Shul

 Questions? Comments? We love feedback! Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Yosef GreenwaldQuestion: Reuven pays for two seats in his shul. He uses one for himself and the other one is meant for his son. However, his son prefers to daven elsewhere and rarely sits in his seat. Shimon notices the empty seat and begins to sit there every week. Eventually, Reuven tells him that since he is using the seat, he should pay for it. Is Reuven correct? Answer: This would seem like a case of zeh neheneh v'zeh lo chaseir. Since Shimon is not causing Reuven a loss, it would seem that he should be patur.The Gemara says that two conditions must be met in order to make someone pay for a hana'ah that he receives. 1. The owner must be having a loss in the sense that he could rent out the property being used if the other person wasn't there. In this case, since Reuven cannot sell the other seat, he would not be able to charge for its use. 2. The person having hana'ah can only be obligated to pay for something that would otherwise pay for. In this case, that would mean that Shimon would have to be the type of person who would pay for another seat if this one wasn't available. Whereas, if he is the type of person who wouldn't pay for a seat and would just stand in the back if there was no free seat available, the Gemara implies that he could not be obligated to pay.  Going forward, if Reuven continues to pay for the seat and he wants to use it to put down his talis bag or his coat and hat, he may prevent Shimon from sitting there in the future because he needs the seat for himself. Still, because Shimon is not considered a nehene because he wouldn't pay for a seat in any case, he may not be able to charge him for sitting there.However, practically speaking, although the Gemara implies to say that one can only charge the person having hana'ah if he is the type of person who would pay for such a benefit, the Poskim rule like the opinion of the Rif that this condition does not need to be met and one can charge someone for using something that is theirs and causing them a loss even if the person would not have been willing to pay for such hana'ah. 

Do you have to bring in Shabbat when your shul davens!? Are You allowed to be a lawyer!? If you miss Mincha on Erev Shabbat can you say two Shemona Esrei in Arvit of Shabbat!?

​1)      Unusual Mesorah about the words כל עצמותי תאמרנה: [1]2)      In our community we have mostly Israeli students, and they are doing Krias haTorah according to the schedule of Eretz Yisroel. Could I have an Aliya in their Kriah?[2]3)      I need to refill our Mikva for use after Shabbos. If I set theheat to remain less than Yad Soledes Bo, may I run water on Shabbos?[3]4)      May my business employ an AI answering service to service clients contacting us over Shabbos?[4]5)      AI answering service charges per minute. May I provide such a service over Shabbos?[5]6)      My parents are aging and need substantial care. May I use my Maaser money to fund the support they require? [6] 7)      A woman comes to Shul on Shabbos and the Minyan is saying Musaf, but she hasn't davened Shacharis: should she join and daven Musaf or should she do Shacharis?[7]8)      I had to interrupt Shmone Esrei to use the bathroom. Upon return, do I start the Amidah from the beginning; 3 steps again? [8]9)      Revisit the package delivered on Shabbos in my front yard: [9]https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9764852268?omn=87263391522Index to previous Panorama Shiurim: PanoramaIndex 2 - Google Docs To sponsor a Shiur – to honour a special occasion -contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com[1] תהלים לה, ח. ראה במנחתשי שתיבת 'כל' מוטעמת וגם מנוקדת בקמץ-רחב. בדפוס שקלאוו אין מקף; בתורה-אור ישמקף.[2] בס' יו"ט שני כהלכתו(פריד, פ"ט סט"ז) מתיר לעלות במצבים דומים.[3] בשוע"ר סי' תקגס"ג אוסר לחפש בס"ת מיו"ט לשבת הסמוכה לו. וראה גם פסקי תשובות סי'שב אות יז.[4] נראה לדמות למה שהתירבשו"ת מהרש"ג (ח"ב סי' קיז, הובא בשש"כ פכ"ט סכ"ח)להשאיר פתוח מכונת-מכירה אוטומטית לשבת, כי לא איכפת להמוכר מתי יקנו המוצרים.[משא"כ באתר של מוזיקה וכיו"ב, שזמן השימוש עיקרי הוא]. [5] לפי המדובר לפני שבועיים:שירות רחבה הכוללת שעות של שבת, גם נחשבת הבלעה, אע"פ שהתשלום של שבת ניכר,ה"ה כאן.[6] בס' צדקה ומשפט פ"גס"ח מתיר. והא דאיתא (קידושין לב,א) "תבא מארה למי שמפרנס או"א מןהמעשר", י"ל דהיינו מעשר עני ממש, משא"כ מעשר כספים.[7] בס' הליכות ביתה (סימן ו, ו) מביא מחלוקת האחרונים אם נשים חייבות בתפלת מוסף. לכן מסתבר שתידחה מוסף מפנישחרית.[8] ראה ג' שיטות בשוע"רסי' קד ס"ד. אכן בסדור אדה"ז סוף הלכות ברכות השחר הורה שכל שיוכללהעמיד עצמו עד סוף התפלה, אל יפסיק אפילו בפסוקי דזמרה.[9] לפי שוע"ר סי' שעבס"א אסור להכניס מהחצר לבית דבר שהובא מחוץ לעירוב.​

The many aspects of the prayer AleinuThere's no other prayer in the entire Jewish liturgy as fascinating as the Aleinu with its rich history and meaning on one hand, and melodies and Mi Sinai tunes on the other.This Shabbat we'll exam a very ancient prayer that in the Middle Ages caused our people persecution and censorship for the famous line that we no longer recite.But Aleinu is not just that. It is a prayer we recite with multiple melodies that were written in different centuries by composers with very little in common.And then, as you know, every evening minyan whether at Shul or at a house of morning congregants join in unison for the recitation of this prayer like no other prayer.Everyone knows the music…. Why? We'll examine the concept of what Brain Scientists call  “earworms”.

The Rebbe writes that one should not resign from their work in the shul; rather, they should increase their efforts.

The Shiner Shul is one of the most iconic places in Monsey.It's not just another shul. It's a 24-hour, 365-days-a-year operation of davening, learning, and connecting to Hashem. A place where Yidden from all backgrounds feel welcome — no matter how someone looks, where he comes from, or what stage of life he is in, there is a seat, a sefer, a coffee, something to eat, and a feeling that he belongs.In this episode, we sit down with Mordche Pinkas, one of the gabbaim of the Shiner Shul, to hear what it actually takes to keep such a major makom Torah and tefillah running day after day.Mordche is a colorful figure who wears a lot of hats.He is a gabbai, an English teacher, a longtime askan, a Rosh Hamadrichim in the summer, and a leader in Lev Layeled's Monsey branch, an organization that gives children from divorced homes a place of warmth, strength, and connection during some of the hardest parts of their young lives.We speak about the behind-the-scenes of the Shiner Shul, the responsibility of serving the public, the sensitivity needed when dealing with people, the work of Lev Layeled, chinuch, children, community, and what it means to quietly carry many different roles for Klal Yisroel.A real conversation with a colorful person who has seen a lot, done a lot, and continues to give in ways most people never see.ShmueliCast hotline: 718-970-8884.

How has the role of being a Rav changed due to the war? What should a shul's policy be when a siren goes off during davening? How are people doing emotionally with the constant sirens, sleep deprivation and stress? What are the most interesting or unusual halachic questions that were asked during the war?

Show recorded on 2.16.26: This week, Mike dives into stories shaping Israel's identity at home and abroad. Aylana Meisel-Diament, former Executive Director of the Israel Law and Liberty Forum, breaks down the significant and controversial policy shift in renaming of Judea & Samaria and non-Arabs ability to purchase land in the region and why it has sparked fierce debate both inside Israel and abroad. Later in the episode, he shares podcaster Meira K's inspirational account of the unlikely underdogs – Israel's Olympic bobsled team's rise to the world stage. The determined squad — comprised of five Jews, one Druze athlete and even a Shina Ibu breed dog — proudly dubbed themselves "Shul Runnings." Robbed of their belongings in the Olympic Village, the team persevered. In a powerful tribute, one member competed wearing a kippah embroidered with the names of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the Munich Olympics. Representing a nation far better known for sunshine than snow, their journey is a story of resilience, identity, and pride under pressure.   We also examine mounting calls to remove UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese following her controversial remarks that "Israel is contrary to humanity," and discuss broader concerns about rising white nationalist rhetoric influencing upcoming elections. From Olympic ice tracks to international diplomacy, this episode tackles identity, policy and politics at a pivotal moment.

Occasionally, there are men who sit in the ladies' section in the synagogue on weekdays, when women generally do not come to the synagogue. While this is permissible, it is important to realize that they cannot be counted for the Minyan. If there are only ten men in the shul, and one or several of them are in the ladies' section, they do not form a Minyan, because the ladies' section is considered a separate domain. At least ten men must be present in the main section to form a Minyan there. In some synagogues, the Teba is more than just a table; it is a large structure enclosed by walls. Despite the enclosure, the Teba is nevertheless considered part of the synagogue, and thus the Hazzan may lead the service from inside this area. Since the Teba was built as part of the synagogue's furnishings, it is not viewed as a separate domain. (If the walls would extend all the way to the ceiling, then this would pose a problem, but quite obviously this never happens.)

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political reporter Ariela Karmel and religion and archaeology correspondent Rossella Tercatin join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As the Prime Minister's Office comes under fire for releasing official photos in which images of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife, Sara Netanyahu, have been heavily retouched, Karmel discusses the distortion of the historical record and possible breach of important ethical guidelines, and the involvement of the Government Press Office, which is seeking to resolve the issue. A new version of a bill whose purpose is to extend Israeli authority over antiquities and heritage sites in the West Bank, and aims to include Areas A and B — where the Palestinian Authority has civilian control — has the local archaeology world in an uproar, reports Tercatin. The bill aims to extend the powers of the Israel Antiquities Authority, while some archaeologists say the bill would politicize archaeology and create professional problems for them globally.
