The learning generated by the Halachos for the rest of this week are dedicated to the eternal memory of Motty Borger, Mordechai ben Shmuel Dov. Motty was known for his amazing "Simchas HaChaim", his tireless acts of Chesed and for bringing Simcha into the lives of so many less fortunate people. Hashem took Motty's Neshama to Gan Eden at a tender young age, two days after his wedding.
Please CLICK HERE and take a few moments to listen to an important and powerful message recorded by Motty's father, R' Shmuel Borger.
May Motty be a Meilitz Yosher for his entire Mishpacha and for all of Klal Yisroel.

1) One who eats new grapes and recites SheHechiyanu, and then drinks new wine, does not recite a separate SheHechiyanu on the wine, as wine and grapes are considered one fruit, and no new Simcha is experienced on the wine after it was already experienced with the grapes. (See Mishna Berura Siman 225:15. There are some Poskim who disagree with this and do indeed require a new SheHechiyanu on wine. They are The Radvaz Vol. 3 Siman 53, and Shu"t Halachos Ketanos Vol. 1 Siman 232. However, the prevalent custom is like the Mishna Berura, especially today's days when we are not expert in wines to determine which wines are new enough and which are aged beyond being able to recite Shehechiyanu on them. See Aruch HaShulchan 225:10) 2) Some Poskim rule that wine [especially today's days] never receives a SheHechiyanu in any case. (See Aruch HaShulchan ibid.)
However, due to the Safek it is best not to drink new wine before eating new grapes and thus exempting the wine from needing a SheHechiyanu regardless (Kaf HaChaim 225:39)
GOOD CHODESH!
QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER:
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Todaywebsite.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
If one forgot to say Yaele Veyavoh at Mincha on Rosh Chodesh and only realized after shkiya, does he have to do a Tashlumim (make up) Shmone Esrei at Maariv?
If yes, does it make a difference if the next day is no longer Rosh Chodesh?
Answer:
Yes, a Tashlumim is necessary at Maariv.
If it is Rosh Chodesh, the Tashlumin of course will be with Ya'aleh V'Yavo.
If it is no longer Rosh Chodesh at ma'ariv, it is a machlokes HaPoskim.
Some Poskim say that if You daven your Tashlumin without Ya'aleh V'Yavo, then you defeated your purpose, so there is no point of davening again, as you are missing a Ya'aleh V'yavo from Mincha, and you are still missing it after the Tashlumin.
Others say that by missing Ya'aleh V'yavo in your Mincha Shemona Esrei, you were not Yotzei your Shemona Esrei at all, so the Tashlumin is necessary for your Shemona Esrei and not just for the Ya'aleh V'Yavo, so of course by doing a Tashlumin, you make up for a missing Shemona Esrei.
So, what should be done?
The Poskim say that the best thing to do is to indeed daven two Shemona Esrei by Ma'ariv, and a T'nai (stipulation) should be made before starting the second Shemona Esrei, as follows:
"If I am obligated in this Tefilah, it should satisfy my obligation. If I am not obligated in this Shemona Esrei, let it be considered a Tefilas Nedava (not a mandatory Tefilah, similar to a Korban Nedava which was not obligatory)"
If Ya'aleh V'Yavo was mistakenly recited in the Shemona Esrei of Tashlumin, when it was no longer Rosh Chodesh, it isn't considered a Hefsek.
If this happens when Rosh Chodesh is on Friday, it will not work, as we may not daven Tefilas Nedava on Shabbos.
The above applies every time one has a real safek if he is obligated in davening a Shemona Esrei, that it be done with this stipulation.
(See Mishna Berura Siman 108: 32-35, and Biur Halacha Siman 108:12 Dibur Hamaschil HaToeh)
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות אלא הלכות - one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in Olam Haba - the world to come. (:מגילה כ"ח )
