    Twisted: Wouldn’t there be a nafka minah if with other people or by day time it is safe, but at night by yourself you are more prone to danger?

    Someone asked Rav Shlomo Zalaman if one is in his first year of marriage is he patur from sukka? He said he did not see it mentioned anywhere that he should be patur,but in the case his wife is afraid to sleep alone then in that case it seems one could be maikel.

    Sam2:Rav Shlomo Zalamn is quoted in shmiras shabbos khilchasa that one does not make a bracha on synthetics.

    The Tiferes Shlomo explains miztar patur min hasukka: Mitztar,he will be patur from his tzar through sitting in the sukkah,since the idea of succha is to protect and shield.(Sam2 this is another example of a vort not halacha)

    I am well aware that people argue on people who eat in the rain but in fact many chasuva people still ate in the sukka

    In Sefer Bais Yakkov Rebbe Yakkov brings down that there were tzaddikim who stayed in the sukka even when it rained.We all know the famous halacha that one who is mitztar is patur from the sukka so why did they stay?

    A:He explains that we say this idea when the person will be relived from his tzar if he goes inside,but a tzaddik who loves Hashems mitzvos and waits the whole year in excitement to do the mitzvah their pain would not be diminished on the contrary it would add to the tzar.The Rama(640:4) says only if the tzar will be gone is one exempt.The idea of the cup being thrown in the servants face(when it rains) he explains a chacham stays on his watch and if the master needs him he will be ready to help and the master will forgive as opposed to the shoteh who storms out.

    I used to sell on the street when i was younger and some people don’t really know that much about esrogim and use a toothpick the wrong way and make the esrog chasser(passul).I am not saying everyone does this I am just saying I go to someone I trust who knows how to deal with them.

    Seforim Hakodoshim a.k.a the Rama(624,625). There is a discrepancy brought down by the Mishna Brura.In 624 the Rama says the careful ones, which is talking about starting to build,but in 625 the Rema uses the wording of mitzvah which is talking about the completion of the sukka on the next day(tomorrow).

    Think of it as meeting any new person.It is good to ask about normal things when you just meet someone new. (job,schedule,what they do on their free time).It is important to act natural and not force anything, be yourself I believe that is the best thing.

    Every year is. One year over another doesn’t sound right,we believe that Mashiach can come any second and hope that he does.(it seems more apparent in the recent century because of sprouting of vegetation in Israel)

    why don’t we say a bracha before eating the pre- yom kippur meal?

    The Netziv answers since the Chachamim said to only say a bracha on the actual mitzvah not on the preparation

    Q:So why do we make bracha on shechita and tevilas keilim which is just preparation for the action?

    A:Rav Eliashiv says since the pre- meal is a preparation for the fast it becomes the tofel of the ikar(actual fast).By shechita and tevilas keilim there is no mitzvah to eat the animal or to use the keilm rather you need to do these actions to use them first.These mitzvos of shechita and tevilas keilim stand on there own and they alone are the ikar.

    The Rashba on Rosh hashana(15a) says when the chachamim said not to blow the shofar on shabbas there is no problem of bal tigra.The Turi Even concludes from this that if one does not perform a positive commandment he is oiver on bal tigra.

    Q:In Yoma(86b) it says if one does not perform a positive mitzvah tshuva is enough but a lo taseh you need yom kippur as well.This that the Turi Even says that one who deosnt perform a positive mitzvah is oivar on bal tigra(la taseh) then one should need yom kippur as well for being oiver a positive mitzvah?

    A:Rav Shlomo Zalman: By a lo taseh one performs an action,but by not doing an action(positive mitzvah)one is just missing an action which tshuvah suffices for.(M’rafsin Igri)

    It says in Vayikra(16:30) Lefnei Hashem Titaharu. The mishna in keilim(17:14) says certain days of creation the items of that day can become tamei.On Sunday earth was created and earthenware can become tamei.On Tuesday trees were created which can become tamei.On Friday animals and man were created which can become tamei.On Monday, Wednesday, Thursday are all days that the items created cannot become tamei.

    The Calendar used today, yom kippur can only fall out on mon,wed,thurs,and Shabbos.It makes sense for the the holiest day of the year to fall out on the purest days.(Avnei Shoham/shabbos delights)

    Yom Kippur: We learn a Kallah and a king can wash there face on yom kippur(tosfas yeshanim yoma78) but we pasken chatzei shiur assur so how can this be permitted?

    A:Rav Chaim Kaniefsky says that maybe the tosfoas yeshanim hold chatzei shuir is only by achila.

    A:Rav Michal Yehuda Lefkowitz says the maseh rechitza is the whole body and there is no shuir for it,rather washing ones face is is not like rechitza.(M’rafsin Igri)

    Rav Shlomo Zalman say one should be metkaven for kiddush during marriv shmoneh esrei on yom kippur shabbas(brings from tosfos rid in pesachim,also see shmiras shabbas kihilchasa).Rav Nechemia Goldberg adds that yom kippur shabbas is different than all other shabbasim by the fact that zecher yitzias metzrayim is included which many hold is needed for kiddush.

    Reform initially did start off using the shulchan aruch however they did things which was not done by mainstream orthodoxy .They prayed in a different language and played the organ on shabbas in shul which tech is allowed(shvus d’svus lmitzvah which they took much further).The dramatic decline in observance was very quick and then they totally disregarded the Shulchan Aruch completely.

    deiyzooger: That is true we do not blow shofar at nigh but we still daven and maybe that is good enough.The Rama was only concerned by day and not by night as you can see from his wording and everyone else peirush.

    Sam2:I don’t see the problem of sleeping before chatzos from the Rama or the Mishna Brura.They quote the Arizal for the davening and teikos part I don’t see the reference you mentioned unless I missed something.

    Sam2:According to the reasoning of Arizal brought by the Mishna Brurah that after chtazos is fine because we davened already and were meorer the defenders why cant you use the same logic for night time?
