Description

What is the status of a animal slaughtered with a saw? Why were the early chassidim not strict in zmanei tefilah? How does one examine the slaughtering knife? In which situation(s) is one witness believed? What is the reason for asei docheh lo sa'asei, and why does that rule not apply in the mikdash? What shiur disqualifies the squareness of the mizbeach, and how does that relate to tifillin? Why does the tifilla shel yad come with a removable cover, and should it be on, while reciting the brachos of tifillin? What is the nature of being put in cheirem, and why is it codified in hilchos talmud torah? Chumash-Shemot: what do we learn from the fact that Moshe Rabeinu did not nurse from a gentile, to how we should raise our children today?
