panorama of halacha 19

The following issues are discussed by Rabbi Raskin in this week’s episode: Bath towel that is embroidered with the name Sholom? [1] May an Aron Kodesh be suspended from a wall? [2] Is there an objection to visiting a grave within the 1st year? [3] To bang for Haman only when mentioned with a title, is this unique to Chabad? [4] We hear that some Poskim write that the Reading of Parshas Parah is a Torah-obligation. Where in the Torah is this obligation drawn from? [5] Further on the position of Mezuza in a curved doorway: Mezuza to the doorway between kitchen & dining room: when there are two options. Returning ball on Shabbos to a non-Jewish neighbor: when next door is fenced in. Erev Pesach this year is on Shabbos: Is there any objection to using manufactured foods on Shabbos until the Zman/after the Zman? [6] May we have the Shabbos meals in the room sold off in Chometz? [7] Many people in my community are unlikely to come to Shul at 7am. Could we advise them to daven Shacharis at home, make kiddush and eat their chometz meal, and come to shul at 11 am for leining and mussaf? [8] Why are there various cut-off times for the eating of Chometz? [9] When burning the Chometz, כל חמירא is not said. What about the Yehi Ratzon? [10] May I keep a Chometz shelf within the freezer, to be sold with the Chometz? [11] At what time is the Chometz sold on Friday? Visitors to the UK must self-test for Covid on (or before) day 2 and on (or after) day 8 of quarantining. What may be done on Shabbos or Yomtov?
