DOUBLE PORTION L'KAVOD SHABBOS KODESH
Halachos for Erev Shabbos Kodesh
1)Although we learned that a cooked item may not be placed directly on a fire or another heat source due to "Yesh Tzli V'Afiya Achar Bishul, a cooked item can still become roasted or baked", this holds true only when the proximity of the food to the heat source is close enough where it can actually get roasted.
2)However, if the cooked food is placed on top of a pot that is on the fire, on top of a hot water urn or on a blech not directly over the heat source, it is permitted. (See Biur Halacha Siman 318:15 where he asks on the Shulchan Aruch who, unlike the Rama, seemingly here allows the food to be placed directly by the fire after having prohibited this in 318:5. See Chazon Ish Siman 37:14 where he attempts to answer this contradiction. See also Kaf HaChaim 318:78
Halachos for Shabbos Kodesh
1)A food item that was cooked, roasted and baked, according to some Poskim, since it has already been through every kind of heating process it no longer is subject to the prohibition of Bishul and maybe heated up via all three methods. (Opinion of the Pri Megadim, quoted in Biur Halacha Siman 318:5 Dibur Hamaschil Yesh Mi SheOmer)
2) Some Poskim, however, maintain that the last process that the food underwent is what counts and thus if its final preparation was via baking, it is considered a baked item and is once again subject to the prohibition of cooking. (Biur Halacha ibid. seems to lean towards this Psak, and it is best to be stringent with this.)

Reader's Question:
I pace during davening. What parts of davening am I not permitted to do so and when am I permitted?
Answer:
If pacing helps you concentrate, you may do so for all of davening except Shemona Esrei [and Kedusha]when you need to stand still in one place.

Chizuk For Today:
The Chasam Sofer Zatzal
"The power of prayer is so great, that if a person were to pray one single prayer with perfect concentration and the purest intent, that single prayer has the power to gather together all the other prayers that one may have prayed without proper thought throughout the year, and bring them all up to be accepted in front of the Heavenly throne!"
The Chasam Sofer Zatzal quoted on www.Jewisheverything.net from Sefer Torah Tavlin
