# 4529 Call it a Night?
Q. If one is in a shul or other gathering where tehillim is being said at night as is common during the current war, should one avoid participating due to the nighttime?

A. On question 4482 – regarding what is better, to recite Tehillim for our recent Kedoshim and victims during these terrible times or to learn Torah for them and in their merit, we wrote:

“The great power of Torah learning is of course well known and the many benefits and merits it beholds is most amazing and helpful in times of crisis and need.
However, the Maharsha (Talmud Avodah Zarah 19a) teaches that reciting Tehilim causes one to fear Hashem.

Peleh Yoetz (Tehilim p. 641) adds that Tehilim has many different benefits. He concludes that, “One who routinely recitesTehilim is protected from all harm befalling his house, his family and his estate. One who wishes to attach himself to Hashem and His praises should be connected by the Sefer Tehilim.”

After all, Dovid Hamelech requested Hashem that saying Tehillim should be considered like learning Negoim and Ohalos. See Halichos Shlomo (Tefilah 8: footnote 62) and others.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that both of them are effective and helpful, however in different ways.

The great power of Torah learning as mentioned is well known.
The Rov Shlit’a added that by praising an thanking Hashem even in very difficult times, as we do in reciting Tehilim, one shows great love to Him and that results in Him loving us more back and saving us.

# 4528 Land the Slander?
Q - Dearest Rov and my greatest friend. On two occasions, I have overheard people speaking Loshen Horah (slander and bad language) about me and others in the community. Should I say something to them or just distance myself without giving a reason?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is likely better not to intervene, as it is liable to have the opposite effect and create a ‘Machloikes’ or unnecessary and unhelpful conflict.

# 4527- Hashem’s Women II
Q. If I cannot keep up with the davening at my shul so I do it on my own, usually before the congregation. If I start the Shema with them, but if I’m late starting Shemona Esrai and can't say kedusha with them. Is it okay to go ahead when I am davening with a minyan?  If I miscalculated, can I say tehillim while I'm waiting for them to catch up?

A. See answer above.

# 4526 – Hashem’s Women I
Q. I belong to a women's group that says Nishmat and Mizmor L'Todah at a particular time in the morning. Should I go out of the davening order to say it with them when I daven, or is it preferable to say it in the order of the siddur?

A. The above shailah likely is asked by a group of Frum women that are used already from their Religious School years to daven together as a group.

Although the above tradition has many merits and great benefits as it brings the great group of ‘Noshim Tzidkoniyos’ or righteous women closer to Hashem, it does not become or relate to the particular Halachos of an usual common Minyan of men.

# 4525 Have a Good Night
Q. If one is in a shul or other gathering where tehillim is being said at night as is common during the current war, should one avoid participating due to the nighttime?

A. On question 4454 regarding if one may recite Tehillim publicly on Shabbos with a large minyan on these terrible times and recite special public own Bakoshos mentioning the names of our dear family captives?

May one daven special private requests pertaining to the terrible matzav of dear ones during Shabbos? Any special recommendations as to how to do it?

A. We recently addressed a question if one can say during Shabbos after reciting Tehilim the prayer of “Acheinu Beis Yisroel” usually said then during weekdays. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that during Shabbos it should be avoided. Although we do recite many prayers of Mi Sheberach and Tefilos in the amida asking for all different kinds of needs. Yet, it depends on the strength and force of the demand used.

# 4524 The Added Crucial Intentions
Q. How come there is no mention in the Tefilos and Leshem Yichud or Yehi Ratzon in our commonly used sidurim about the special intention one must have before placing on Tefilin or Tzitzith?

A. Recently we wrote that there are three mitzvos that require an added special Kavana or intention to keep in mind when performing them, besides the complying with the basic mitzva itself.

They are: Tzitzis, as the Torah writes: “In order that you shall recall my mitzvos and do them” (Bam’. 15 : 40); Tefillin, as mentioned (Shem’. 13: 9) “In order that the Torah shall be in your mouths”, and Sukkah, as written; “In order that you recall the redemption from Egypt when Hashem caused you to dwell in clouds of glory (Vayikra 23:43).

Since the word “l’ma’an” - meaning ‘because’ or ‘in order that,’ the Torah explicitly indicated the purpose of the mitzva, and one must have intention not only for complying with the act of the mitzva itself but also with the reason mentioned.

Although, Derech Pekudecha (18) maintains that one does not comply with the above three mitzvos if one does not have in mind the added kavana, most Poskim disagree, and opine that although one did not abide with the mitzva properly, after the fact one complied.

After consulting with Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a and our other group of Rabbonim involved, we agreed that it is better and more correct to bring this most important issue first to a meeting of the Vaad of Rabbonim of Toronto, since it involves changing the Nusach and words of Siddurim, to see which is the best and most proper way to react.

# 4523 Nice Work, Work
Q. Dear Rabbi and friend. I am looking for work. I have two job opportunities. One is with a Jewish company and the other is not. Unfortunately, I have found that some of Jewish organizations and establishments do not necessarily follow all the employment laws. Is it okay to prefer working for Gentiles in such a case?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that how and why the company or organization you work for keeps all the applicable employment laws is really not your personal concern, and if you are satisfied with your work and pay you may continue.

Also, you may not be aware of the likely or similar faults of any other company you may want to join

# 4522 - As Good As New
Q. Kvod Horav Shlit’a. Is it better for one that has the capital and means, to sponsor an established Yeshiva, Kollel or other Torah institution that is already working properly, or is it more proper to spend the available money on a new similar Torah institution in a new town or community?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if no other issues are involved, in principle it is better to start a Torah institution where there is not one yet.

# 4521 Aim for the Star
    Q. Dear Rov. I daven in a shul that is always very concerned with the welfare of the Jews in Israel. They, as some Israeli leaders have determined reacting to the open anti-Jewish behaviour in the world, decided to wear a yellow star when they come to shul, as it was in the days of the Holocaust. Is that correct and permitted even in Shabbat where there is no Eruv?

A. Israel's United Nations ambassador displayed a yellow star on his chest Monday (Oct 30) at New Delhi as he addressed the Security Council, provocatively pledging to wear the badge until members of the body condemn Hamas atrocities.

Our Rabbonim likely seemed to agree that if the yellow star was pinned properly as Halacha demands before Shabbos began and will not fall off, it could be worn by the ones that maintain the importance of this particular demonstration of unity and care with the recent many Jewish victims and their families as they deem that demonstration to be necessary and important.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is to be stringent.

# 4520 Honor the Check
Q. I always wondered why when we daily check the tzitzis of a taalis or smaller begged to see if they are complete and if the knots are loose we tighten them as required, why don’t we do the same to the upper part of the threads that are connected like a loop to the taalis or begged?

A. Mishna Berura (8: 21) rules that one should also check the upper part of the threads that are connected like a loop to the taalis or beged, since even a single string tear would disqualify them. However, in Biur Halocho he is more lenient and suggests to check them there only periodically as it is a more protected area and it is uncommon for them to tear.

Eishel Avrohom also maintains to be lenient since it unusual that a tear should happen in the upper part. (see also Igrois Moshe 4: 21).
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.

# 4519 Make Yourself at Home
Q. Re question above. When exactly does one recite the blessing; when signing the contract or when actually taking possession of the property, as when moving in?

A. Birchas Habbais (24: 33) and others rule that the best time to recite the brocho is when placing the Mezuzos.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one can recite the brocho when legally the property is transferred to his name.

# 4518 A Blessed Home
Q. Does one recite a Sheheyanu when buying a dwelling such as a house or a condo?

A. Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 223: 3) rules that if one builds a new house recites Shecheheyanu. Mishna Berura mentions that if it is a property shared by other family members the blessing is Hatov Vehametiv. He writes also that the same applies if the property is not a new building

# 4517 Mixed Blessings
Q. Kavod Harav, I made a bracha on chocolate and had in front of me prune juice. However, I mistakenly thought the prune juice is grape juice until I picked it up to make a bracha. Does it require a bracha even though it was in front of me since it is as if I had intent not to include it since I was mistaken about its identity.

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if you had in mind to eat more of the food that requires a shehakol brocho, you don’t have to make a brocho on it, since after the fact the shehakol brocho also exempts all liquors you wanted to consume or foods to eat including wine.

# 4516 Intent and Redempt
Q. When a father makes the Pidyon Haben for his first born son does he have to have a special Kavana or intention to comply with the mitzva? How about the Cohen?

A. It is commonly known that there are three mitzvos that require an added special Kavana or intention to keep in mind when performing them, besides the complying with the basic mitzva itself.

They are: Tzitzis, as the Torah writes: “In order that you shall recall my mitzvos and do them” (Bam’. 15 : 40); Tefillin, as mentioned (Shem’. 13: 9) “In order that the Torah shall be in your mouths”, and Sucah, as written; “In order that you recall the redemption from Egypt when Hashem caused you to dwell in clouds of glory (Vayikra 23:43). Since the word “l’ma’an” - meaning ‘because’ or ‘in order that,’ the Torah explicitly indicated the purpose of the mitzva, and one must have intention not only for complying with the act of the mitzva itself but also with the reason mentioned.

Although, Derech Pekudecha (18) maintains that one does not comply with the above three mitzvos if one does not have in mind the added kavana, most Poskim disagree, and opine that although one did not abide with the mitzva properly, after the fact one complied.
P’ri Megadim (Mishbetzos Z’ 8) added to the above list also the mitzva of Pidyon Haben for a first born son.

As is written; (Shemos 13: 13); And every firstborn donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, and if you do not redeem [it], you shall decapitate it, and every firstborn of man among your sons, you shall redeem. And it will come to pass if your son asks you in the future, saying, "What is this?" you shall say to him, "With a mighty hand did Hashem take us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. And it came to pass when Pharaoh was too stubborn to let us out, Hashem slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore, I slaughter [for a sacrifice] all males that open the womb, and every firstborn of my sons I will redeem.

Although, Shebet Halevy (6: 169) disagrees, it is certainly better to follow on the onset the opinion of the Pri Megadim.

# 4515 - Great Grand Life Blessing
Q. Does a grandfather recite a Shecheheyanu when seeing first time his great grand son?

A. Biur Halocho (223: 1) debates whether a brocho should be recited for the birth of a
grandson since he won’t necessarily provide the aid, help and service that a son would.

K’tzos Hashulchan (64) maintains that the first time a grandfather sees his grandson, he should recite the brocho as one would in principle when seeing a friend after a while of separation. (See Piskei Teshuvos 223 n. 15).

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in principle he can as his joy is great, however, it is better if he also eats a new fruit of that year or similar.

# 4514 The Law of the Letter
Q. I was matched up with a guy from across the sea. He wants to come to Toronto to meet me and see if we are compatible. He wants to know what documents to bring, in case we want to get married. He is divorced so he knows he will need a copy of his get. He was born Jewish so there are no conversion papers. What else would he need in terms of a civil marriage?

A. The customary procedure is to obtain from the Beth Din or a recognized and accepted Rabbi of his city, that knows him and his family well, a dated letter or document usually named ‘Hetter Nissuim,’ (permission to get married). That document officially mentions the above and all necessary information and conditions.

# 4513 Rabbis First
Q. Someone travelling by car and about to enter or exit a parking lot realizes that next to him and also waiting to enter is a Rabbi driving next to him, does he have to honor him and give the right to go first? Does it matter if the parking lot is of a Yeshiva or institution? How about when driving in a street?

A. Chashukei Chemed (Brochos 47a) deals with the question and since the Halacha rules that we do give honour when walking on the streets (Tos. Shabbos 51b), he presumes that the same applies to driving in a car.

However, he also mentions that travelling in a car may be considered as being in a separate ‘Reshus” or entity. He remains in doubt.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.

# 4512 Shtik or Treat
Q. Dear Rabbi. In our troublesome days, when we experience such a rise in hate to Jews so and plain antisemitism encouraged by Muslims, should we engage in the costumes of Halloween that in a wide sense promote friendliness and human friendship?

A. On question 1485 and 3956 regarding a person who is a partner and in charge of a number of large apartment buildings in which there are also some tenants who are Jewish, should he permit as is customary for the Super to give or to place trays of candies for the children of the building that the company pays for, to enjoy during Halloween, if that permitted in Halacha, we mentioned: “We have some Modern Orthodox neighbors that let their kids join the others in the block (many Jewish) and go around collecting candies on Halloween, is that permitted? Should we advise them not to do it? Can we give children that ring our bell candies? To what we answered:

“Halloween is a shortening of All Hallows’ Evening, also known as Allhalloween, or All Saints’ Eve, is a festivity observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows’ Day. It begins the three-day observance dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient pagan Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, and was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church.

Today’s Halloween customs, are a combination of Celtic, Roman and Christian holidays. In essence, Halloween is not a secular holiday. Halacha prohibits celebrating gentile holidays (Remah Y.D. 178: 1). Even though some gentile holidays today may not be considered idol worship, the law which commands us not to behave in the customs and manners of the gentiles, still applies.
Therefore, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is to refrain from letting children join others on their Halloween traditions.

However, if there is an issue of Chilul Hashem, the Rov maintains that you may give candies to the children that visit you.” Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if the Super is doing the distribution and if the refusal to give out those candies would cause feelings of resentment
 and rancor against the Jewish owners of the building and thus also a Chilul Hashem, it is permitted.

In our troublesome days, if it can promote goodwill and friendship with others, it is permitted.

# 4511 Buried and Alive
Q. We recently received the following Shaila from a dear friend of my old country (Mexico) who made Aliya many years ago and sends me occasional yet important Shailos.
As Mazel goes, one of his children’s family settled in the south and a few ended Nebach being captured recently by Hamas, Yimach Shemom, Reshaim. They were saved and released by our Tzahal’s Tzadikim. Yet one child about seven years old could not be found.

Miraculously he was found days later, underneath a big concrete floor plate of a collapsed building. The soldiers saw he was wearing Tzitzis and decided to carry the body to his grieving family. As a soldier picked him up, he incredibly felt a very weak pulse, and yes after likely close to three days, he was still by Hashem’s miracle alive! (He asked me not to mention his name, as they stick to privacy.)

A. Of course, the family got together to perform a private Seudas Hoda’ah as required. His Shaila was, does the kid have to bench Goimel or do the parents bench for him?

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that reciting the Goimel bracha is not recited. The reason is that the text of the bracha is Hagomel l’chayavim Tovos,” and since a child is not a chayav or guilty yet, children don’t recite this bracha, and hence neither do the parents.
Yet, as you mentioned a Seudas Hoda’ah should be served to publicly express thanks to Hashem for the miracle Hashem did for you (See Magen Avrohom 219: 1). Yet some Poskim maintain that a minor does recite Hagomel.(Shaarei Teshuva 219: 1, Lachamei Todah, and others.)
The main principle is there, we recite thanks to Hashem when we truly understand the gift of life and salvation given.
