1) The brocho upon seeing blossoming trees, why only in the month of Nisan?
2) I was clearing out Grandma’s flat, and offered the old furniture for sale. A non-Jew put down £20 in cash for a sideboard, to be collected the following week. Meanwhile one of the grandchildren woke up and is adamant to have that piece of furniture for himself. May I retract from the sale to the non-Jew?
3) I sell disposables to Chabad Houses around Europe. Due to the devaluation of the Euro vs the UK pound, delayed payment (in Euros) has meant significant loss of income for myself. What may I do to incentivise prompt payment?
4) Twin Bar-Mitzva boys that are Kohanim. We wish to call them up to the Torah on a Monday or Thursday. How do we go about it?
5) In many Shuls, one who missed Borchu earlier, will announce Borchu at the end of davening. This isn’t seen regularly in Chabad. What’s in it?
6) I say Kaddish for several niftorim. If I’m running late and I’m holding at Pesukei deZimra when the Minyan is up to Kaddish Yosoim, may I interrupt my davening in order to say Kaddish?
7) I bought an avocado salad from Grodzinski’s. It contained a sprinkling of croutons. Which brocho should be said on the croutons?
8) A salad of tomatoes and cucumbers etc., plus cubed avocado. Does one say the brocho בורא פרי העץ on the avocado?
9) Should we schedule Mincha after sunset, so it’s easier to hold the people for Maariv after nightfall; or should Mincha finish by sunset, and Maariv will before nightfall?
10) How does one understand the repetitions of אמן ואמן or אמן סלה?
