Daf Yomi Zevachim Daf 80
R' Eli Stefansky | 13 Kislev 5786
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?
Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff | Sivan 10 5782
How to Time Vatikin?
When minyanim closed, I started davening vatikin (starting Shemoneh Esrei (=SE) at hanetz hachama (sunrise=netz)). If I do not know precisely when netz is, is it better to err on the side of starting SE before or after netz?
Rabbi Daniel Mann | Iyar 10 5780
Desert, water and Torah
Just as water has the ability to convert desolate and nonproductive desert land into a veritable Garden of Eden, so too can Torah fill the void in our hearts and souls and make us productive holy people.

Rabbi Ephraim Schreibman | Cheshvan 24 5772
What Bracha Do I Make Before Smelling the Shavuos Flowers?

Shlach
Rabbi Berel Wein zt"l | 5770
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?
Rabbi Elyakim Levanon | 5770
The Laws Relating to Converts
The laws relating to Jewish converts are most astounding. Despite the criticism directed at the Jewish people on the grounds that Judaism is racist, the Torah teaches us that any non-Jew who earnestly seeks to join the Jewish people may do so.
Rabbi Eliezer Melamed
Jacob the Patriarch and the Succot Festival
Our nation possesses the inner strength - strength which we inherited from Jacob - to take on the challenging and trying difficulties. Even if our Succah appears to be unstable, a mighty spirit fills its openings and reinforces its cracks.
Rabbi Yaakov Ariel | 5762
