Description

How should a Tenai be worded? What is the difference between a Tenai and a Shavuah? Can one say that one is doing a Tenai or one is being Mafrish Terumos as it should be done according to the Torah? Can one appoint a shaliach on something that is not yet in the world? Can one trust the kasharus of Carmel wine? In which instances does one need a Tenai Kaful? How to gentiles see that the name of Hashem is on the Jews? Is there a conceptual reason why we cannot fulfill the mitzva of techeiles today? Why do we hold like the Bavli and not the Yerushalmi? Does a sefer torah require sirtut? Chumash-Vayeira : Avraham's piety was mechayev Sodom, and R Noson Tzvi Finkel ZT'L was mechayev everyone.
