Description

The following issues are discussed by Rabbi Raskin in this week’s episode:

  1. Answer to q. why the larger part of the middle matzo is used for Afikoman, not for the Mitzva min haTorah of eating Matzo: [1]
  2. Further on procedure when Sheva Brochos is held at Seuda Shlishis: [2]
  3. This year Lag b’Omer is on Friday. Is it acceptable to make a wedding on Thursday evening? [3]
  4. Would it be permitted on Shabbos Erev Pesach – within a communal Eruv – to distribute Shmura Matzo for Seder night? [4]
  5. Ginger: What is the concern regarding Pesach? [5]
  6. What should one do with the wine that spills over from the kiddush cup onto the coaster placed beneath? [6]
  7. On Shabbos, we recite the details of the Ketores after Musaf. But wasn’t the Ketores offered before Musaf? [7]
  8. When eating Shabbos or Yomtov meals away from home, should one light candles at one’s own residence or at the location where he/she will be having the Seuda? [8]
  9. Is there any difference in this whether sleeping in an otherwise empty residence to sleeping in a home where the hostess lights candles?
  10. I received a Tallis-Koton that, instead of the popular round hole, has a T-shaped hole. Is this an issue (extra corners)? [9]
  11. One who had a haircut on Erev Pesach, but it was such a poor job that he’s embarrassed to meet with friends. May he have it fixed up during Sefiro? [10]
