The following issues are discussed by Rabbi Raskin in this week’s episode:
Answering אמן to a brocho heard via Zoom etc. [1]A bochur in Yeshiva is traveling back home on a Chanukah evening. Can he light Menorah in Yeshiva before he leaves? [2]We have been invited out for supper on Chanukah evening. I have two options re. lighting Menorah: a) at our hosts; b) at home, after the meal. Please advise. [3]One making Kiddush on bread on Shabbos, should the various Pesukim be recited before or after washing Netilas Yodayim? [4]One of a married couple to whom a name was added – due to illness ר”ל, does this warrant writing a new Kesubah to include the new name? [5]My children come home from cheder with booklets for the yomim tovim, pamphlets with pictures of the Rebbes, sheets of Chumash/Nach/Gemoro for homework. What status do they all have: shaimos for burial or bag & disregard?[6]Why do Frum publications write Hashem’s in English: G-d? [7]A family celebrating their son’s Bar Mitzvah – on a weekday – wish to have musical accompaniment during Davening. Any objection? [8]Is a Jewess married to a non-Jew supposed to cover her hair? [9]
