Description

What size of a mikveh is needed, in order to dunk ones hands into it, instead of washing with a cup? Does one need to wash ones hands before praying? When does one need to wash ones hands twice, and when is one time adequate? Why do we wash before eating bread, or before eating a wet fruit? Is a asmachta more than just a mnemonic device? In which cases is a ma'ayan needed? Should one minyan on chol hamoed have people with and without tefillin? When do we say be'rov am hadras melech, and when should each individual recite his own blessing? Does one need to understand hebrew to say shomeah' k'oneh? Chumash-Va'era: Eretz Yisrael is a morasha, not a yerusha. What is the difference between these two terms?How does it relate to benos Tzelafchad?
