Birkat Kohanim in a Shiva House
I was surprised to find, in a shiva minyan, an avel who did Birkat Kohanim. I didn’t know whether to tell him that I had never seen this before. Was it okay that he did so?

Birkat Kohanim by Non-Kohanim
Is it clear that a non-kohen may bless his children or others with the blessings of Birkat Kohanim ?
Rabbi Daniel Mann | Tammuz 3 5781
Whose Blessing?
Birkat Kohanim was on “the day that Moshe completed to erect the Mishkan”, which was the 1st of Nisan, which is also called “the eighth day” of the inauguration of the Mishkan. On this day, Aharon lifted his hands and blessed the people.

A Kohen Serving Others
I am a kohen who likes to fit in with others. When I lend a helping hand, occasionally someone tells me that I need not or should not because I am a kohen. Should I listen to them?
Rabbi Daniel Mann | Kislev 7 5781
