5.5 Lech Lecho 5785 – Panorama of Halacha
1) I have been advised to avoid gluten. Rakusens produce a gluten-free Matzo. The list of ingredients includes, maize starch, oats, tapioca starch, soya bran. Does this food warrant the full bentsching? [1]
2) Does the Tekiah have to be a straight, level sound?[2]
3) The Chabad-style Shevorim has an extra note added. Isn’t that an extraneous sound that would serve to interrupt between the Shevorim and the Tekiah that follows? [3]
4) The only area available for me to build a Sukkah is partially in the shade of a tree. How should I assess if it is permissible to build my Succah there? [4]
5) On Monday we had no Minyan for Shacharis. Is there a possibility to make up the missed Krias haTorah on Tuesday morning? [5]
6) We recently had a wall built where previously had been sliding partition doors. In accordance with Tzavo’as Reb Yehuda haChosid, we should make a hole through this new wall. The Previous Rebbe writes that this hole should measure 1½ tefochim. What is the basis for this size? [6]
7) A man had a tattoo on his upper left arm. He has now undergone a procedure to remove it, but for the short term he has a bandage covering the area where the Tefilin are placed. Please advise whether he should put Tefilin over the bandage? With a brocho? [7]
8) I’m travelling and will have to leave the house before sunrise. Should I daven at home before sunrise, or in the airport after sunrise?[8]
9) Feedback on father being Sandak twice: [9]
10) Feedback on the brick used as a doorstopper:
