The following issues are discussed by Rabbi Raskin in this week’s episode:
- The cover for my Tefillin Shel Yad is stuck tight. May I lay the Tefillin so?[1]
- The custom is to remove the cover whilst donning the Tefillin, but to then replace it for the duration of prayer [2]. Why should it be removed initially? [3]
- We use pre-cut paper towels on Shabbos. Certain brands are embossed with the product’s name, e.g. Plenty or Andrex. May they be used on Shabbos? [4]
- May I leave food to cook in the Sous Vide on Friday for Motzei Shabbos? [5]
- Further on the stoop: To carry there one needs an added pole on both sides. [6]
- When praying for a Goy we use the father’s name. Why? [7]
- May a Mi sheBeirach be recited for a Nochri? [8]
- A wedding photographer took a non-refundable deposit for a function. Due to the lockdown, the event was canceled. Is a refund in order? [9]
- Further on brachos on soup: the carrot in chicken soup, is it also shehakol? [10]
- Smoothie that includes crushed biscuits. [11]
- Ice cream that contains crushed biscuits.
- What brocho is said when eating a Granola bar?[12
