7/31/21 – Shiur 332 – Should birthdays be celebrated? Is having a birthday cake and candles a problem of Chukos Hagoyim? Can they be blown out?

Is a birthday a day to celebrate? If so, how? Are there more significant birthdays, like the 70th? How should Jonathan Rosenblum celebrate his 70th this week? Have the gedolim historically celebrated their own birthdays? Is there a problem of Chukas Hagoyim to have a birthday cake? To have candles on it? To blow out the candles? To make a wish?***Guest Hosted by Ari Wasserman *** Author of "Making it Work", "Making it ALL Work" (for women) and 10 other Seforim, Maggid Shiur, Yerushalayimwith Rabbi Aharon Lopiansky – Rosh HaYeshiva, Yeshiva of Greater Washington – 8:25with Rabbi Avi Wiesenfeld – Rosh Yeshiva of Beis Dovid and posek of Kav Halacha Beis Hora'ah – 23:18with Rabbi Dr. Zvi Ron – Popular lecturer and maggid shiur at a number of yeshivos – 49:37with Rabbi Simon Jacobson – Chozer of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Renowned author and lecturer, Founder of the Meaningful Life Center – 1:19:46with Rabbi Manis Friedman – Famed author, speaker, educator and Chabad Shaliach – 1:33:23מראי מקומות
