Dirshu Mishnah Berurah May 21, 2023 Today we begin to learn the halachos of Krias HaTorah. Interesting question: What happens if a tzibbur is unable to have Krias HaTorah on a particular Shabbos? Can they make up the kriah the next Shabbos? What if they miss the kriah on several consecutive Shabbosos? This shailah became nogea during the dark days of the COVID pandemic. Thank you for joining me for limud HaTorah!

Dirshu Mishnah Berurah May 18, 2023 Today we will be discussing the mitzvah of Hagbah, lifting the Sefer Torah and showing the writing of the Torah to the Tzibbur. Thank you for joining me for limud HaTorah!

Dirshu Mishnah Berurah May 17, 2023 Today we learn about the mintage to say Borchu at the end of davening, and about the beautiful Tefillah of והוא רחום that we recite on Mondays and Thursdays. Thank you for joining me for limud HaTorah!

Dirshu Mishnah Berurah May 16, 2023 Today we learn of the minhag to recite the parashah of the ketores after davening. Why is it that nussach sefard says this on a daily basis while nussach ashkenaz only says this on Shabbos and Yom Tov? Thank you for joining me for limud HaTorah!

Dirshu Mishnah Berurah May 15, 2023 We continue to learn the halachos that apply to the end of Davening. Today we learn about the beautiful Tefillah of עלינו, a Tefillah that we will see the Ribbono Shel Olam and the entire Heavenly Court stands and listens to as we recite it! Thank you for joining me for limud HaTorah!

Dirshu Mishnah Berurah May 14, 2023 Today we begin to learn the halachos that apply to Ashrei and Oovah L'Tzion, together with the Kedushah we recite within Oovah L'Tzion. Thank you for joining me for limud HaTorah!

Dirshu Mishnah Berurah May 11, 2023 Today we conclude our study of the halachos of Tachanun. Today we have an interesting discussion regarding the prohibition to bow down -- even to Hashem. As we will see, there are manners in which this is an issur d'Oraysa -- a biblical prohibition, and manners in which it is an issur d'Rabanan -- a Rabbinical prohibition. There are also manners in which it is not prohibited at all. Indeed, we do bow down on Yom Kippur, but we must be sure to do so in a manner that is permissible. Thank you for joining me for limud HaTorah!
