Description

Does everyone agree that nolad gamur is muktza? Why is it prohibited to squeeze fruit for juice, on yom tov, if it is a melachah on food? Is this prohibition biblical? What relationship is there between the laws of muktza and the laws of tum'ah? If a hammer is muktza, then why can one use it to crack open a nut? Why is a flame muktza on shabbos? In which cases do we treat a shogeig as a meizid? In which case does one need to wait bi'chedei sheya'asu on Saturday night? Is it proper to inform, the not so observant, about every chumrah? Chumash:Vayeitzei- What does Leah's naming of Yehudah, teach us about giving thanks, on Thanksgiving? Should we force a man to give a get, by using brute force, in violation of USA government rules?
