If you are just
joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the
previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1) If one does something that his/her
mother asked them to do, and afterward his/her father is
upset that it was done and asks "who told you to do this?", he/she
should lie rather than say that the mother asked that it
be done and risk having the father get angry at her. (Sefer
Chasidim Siman 336. He also writes there that if indeed
you tell your father that your mother asked you to do it and he
gets angry at her, it is as if you yourself got angry at your mother.)
2)
One may say to a groom that his bride is beautiful, even
if isn't the case, as to make the groom love his bride
even more. (Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer Siman 65:1. See Bais
Shmuel Os 2 who explains that "beautiful"
can be referring to her actions and Middos as well as to her physical
beauty, and thus it isn't totally a lie.)
(It
is forbidden for a male to gaze at a bride (or any other
woman for that matter) (Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer Siman 65:2)
Likewise,
if a person purchases an item, you may tell him that it is nice or that
he got a good deal even if it isn't the case. (See Talmud
Kesubos 17a)

Reader's Question:
Can someone light their first Shabbos candle
from a shabbos candle that is already burning?
Answer:
The Poskim do allow using a lit shabbos candle to ignite
another candle.
However, it's best not to pick up the lit candle and
light the unlit candle, rather take the unlit candle and bring it to the
flame of the lit candle.
A lit
shabbos candle, however, may not be used to ignite a match or another
non shabbos candle etc. (See Mishnah Berurah Siman 263:4 and
Biur Halacha) .

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. (Talmud
