What is meant by yichud Hashem, and what can one say to strengthen one's belief in yichud Hashem? Should a rav paskin against the minhag of a community? How does one calculate when the yovel year is? When is a minhag like Gehenim? Can one bathe in cold water on shabbos? Can one be machmir for the position of Beis Shamai? Why do we not observe the laws of tzara'as today? Are kohanim today real kohanim? Chumash-Shemini: when is there a mitzvah to seek out the simanim that a animal is kosher?
