Parashat HashavuaSeries'LibraryPiskei Din (Hebrew)Test Yourself
Our Sedra includes the birth of 12 of Yakov’s children (Binyamin will be born in Parshat Vayishlach). When are children named, & by whom? A boy is named at the brit, but if it’s delayed, some permit an earlier naming at a Torah reading, especially if there is a desire to pray for the child's health. A girl is named at a Torah reading, either right away or when a larger gathering can be held. While our sedra clearly indicates that the mother names the child (Yakov named only one of his 13 children!) there are different customs as to who has the right to choose the name; some suggest alternating between the mother & father, but certainly both must agree on the choice so there is no friction between husband & wife. Ashkenazim do not name for living relatives; Sefardim do. While generally we do not name a child after someone who had a tragic or premature death, if it was a case of Kiddush Hashem (e.g. one who died the Shoa, in IDF combat, etc) then it is a merit to do so.

    Rosh Chodesh

    Kiddush Levanah

    Can I be mekadeish the levanah when there is just a slight cloud cover? Am I permitted to be mekadeish the levanah either before it gets fully dark or during the post-dawn, pre-sunrise morning hours? Did the Rif not write on this topic? Why not?

    Marriage and Relationships

    Relationships during the Time of Engagement

    A young engaged man and his fiancée naturally have very strong feelings for each other. It goes without saying that these will be expressed after the wedding, but what expression, if any, is permitted in the meantime? And while we're on the subject, is the attraction of men and women to each other really a good thing to begin with?

    The Meaning of Hanukkah

    Chanukah – An Illuminating Faith

    The Chanukah candles teach us that Jewish faith does not lose its strength. To the contrary, despite the hardships and darkness, faith persists, and even blossoms. The refined spirituality that is revealed through the Torah is eternal, and it grows.

    The Halacha and History of the Gid Hanosheh

    The mitzvah of gid hanosheh forbids us from eating the sciatic nerve, a sinew that runs from the lower back over the top of the hip and down the leg. Another Mitzvah is not eating the Cheylev, some fats in an animal.

    Basics of Financial Laws

    The Rights of a Copyright Holder

    What is the halachic background to copyright law? Does the Torah have a concept of intellectual property rights, meaning that someone who creates or invents an item is owner of his invention? May a rav prevent people from taping his shiur? May one copy computer software or music disks?

    The Essence of Purim

    Acceptance of the Oral Tradition

    The Sages say that the Almighty suspended Mount Sinai above the Israelites like an inverted cask and said, “If you accept the Torah, fine; if not, here will be your grave.” Why did God have to coerce the Children of Israel into receiving the Torah?
