   Number 1: 8/22/26 – Shiur 573 – Correct Him - or Let It Go? When Should Mistakes in Shul Be Corrected?

   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?

   Number 2: 8/29/26 – Shiur 574 – Shofar Blowing – When Have We Fulfilled the Mitzvah?

   What should the shevarim and teruah sound like? What are the different minhagim? The tekiah’s tone changed or wavered in the middle – is it still valid? When is it necessary to repeat only that particular blast, and when must the entire set be repeated? Is there a reason to hear more than 100 blasts in order to fulfill the various minhagim?

   Number 3: 8/15/26 – Shiur 572 – SIMCHOS IN HALACHA – MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED SHAILOS

   May a guest take leftover food home, or does the food remain the property of the host or caterer? May a guest take flowers, centerpieces, decorations, or unopened bottles from the table after the simcha? If someone accepted an invitation but failed to attend, must he reimburse the host for the meal ordered on his behalf? Who owns gifts distributed at the tables—such as bentchers, souvenirs, yarmulkes, or children’s prizes—and may a guest take additional ones for family members? Is there a halachic obligation to attend a wedding, bris, bar mitzvah, or sheva brachos after being invited? When does attending a simcha override one’s regular Torah-learning schedule? Must parents go into debt to make a respectable wedding? Can parents or grandparents use maaser money to pay for their child’s bris, bar mitzvah, or wedding? Does it matter whether they could afford it without maaser? May maaser money be used to pay for a nicer wedding—or only the minimum necessary expenses for someone who cannot afford a wedding? If a wedding is canceled, who bears the loss—the family or the caterer, photographer, band, florist, and hall? Can they keep the deposits? And much more…. with Rabbi Shmuel Fuerst – Rov of Agudas Yisroel in Chicago and world renowned Poseik – 17:47 with Rabbi Chaim Jachter – Rav of Sha’arei Orah in Teaneck, Dayan on the Elizabeth Beis Din – 35:24 מראי מקומות
