“What would you say are a handful of the typical shailos that are being asked between every two weeks to three months?”
Its averaged. And Im closer to the 4 end of things I cant imagine 24 questions arising a year, but I know people who ask more often. Pesach might raise a few. over the year a kashrus question or 2.
Im also excluding stam “hocking” eg after davening about Indian sheitels, chickens, kosher switches, shabbos fridges etc whcih arguably arent “shailas”
And of course this time of year theres my yearly panel that my 4 questions right here:
Can I give out Haloween candy mipnei darkei shalom?
Can I give holiday presents to co-workers?
Can I give chanukah presents to my kids ? (lehavdil, or maybe not in your view)
and of course the only logical question that follows:
Can I decorate my home with lights have a tree in the middle and place the presents in stockings and leave out sufganiya for Hannukah Harry? (Dont ask me how this follows the other 3, some guy on YWN thinks it is the logical outcome of thep previous one)
– I have to ask these every year because although the psak has been long established, there are still people who drei ah kup every year
Anyway what would you say “for the “average frum family” how often does/should a shaila arise?”
