Description
1) When I lift the Sefer Torah (AKA Hagbeh), should I: a) rotate to my right or to my left;
b) turn to the degree that those in the front of the Bima are able to see the script?
2) May a brother listen to his sister singing?
3) Thinking of helping to form Minyonim for Krias haTorah later in the day of Shovuos:
Does it work for someone to decide that “I’m not going to be yoitze with my hearing
the reading in Shul in the morning”?
4) Feedback on the Dikduk discussions: Two comments from the Rebbe:
5) At supper I ate bread. In error, I said the After-Brocho על המחי'. Do I still have to say
the full bentsching?
6) On Monday night I forgot to count Sefiro. On Tuesday I was present at an early
Maariv, and after I answered Borchu I remembered to count last night’s Sefiro. May I continue counting Sefiro with a brocho?
7) Feedback (from R’ Dovid Wakser) re. Shabbos-belt:
Yehuda Clapman (the sofer) once told me that he had fashioned a “belt” by drilling holes in the two ends of his glasses and used a string or elastic to wear them on Shabbos. Once, Rav Zalman Shimon Dvorkin saw that, and told him, “In this matter, you should be able to carry a pot of cholent”!
