    I am far too busy to deal with this entire issue, as I am already busying myself with hachonos for Birkas haChamo in just another 22 years, on Isru Chag Pesach.

    I believe required amount for the 4 Kossos is deemed to be 3.3 fluid ounces albeit there is an entire gamete ranging anywhere from 2.5 to 5.1 fluid ounces.

    For 1st cup on a Friday nite, the required amount generally is deemed to be 4.42 fluid ounces. Notwithstanding, if the Ba’al haSeder is being Motzi everyone else’s Kiddush, then only he requires 4.42 fluid ounces, and everyone else only requires 3.3 fluid ounces.

    Furthermore albeit Kiddush on Friday nite is 4th commandment, yet the 4th commandment is to announce/sanctify Shabbos, but not necessarily on wine, so even iof one did end up making Kiddush on 3.3 fluid ounces, one would probably be Yotze anyways.

    Furthermore, according to Rambam [whose birthday is coming up this Friday, since he was born on Shabbos Erev Pesach] even Havdolo after Shabbos is part of this 4th commandment, but no-one seems to mention having a larger 1st kos on Moztei Shabbos.

    Another question:- Do we chant Sholom Aleichem & Eshes Chayil this Friday evening prior to Kiddush on 1st cup?

    To quote Rav Chaim Pinchus Scheinberg Last Wednesday was his 3rd Johrzeit. He passed away exactly 1/2 a year to the day from his birthday on Ellul 27th, as passed away on Adar 27th. Is there any special significance to passing away on a 1/2 birthday?

    I don’t quite comprehend how a Gemach for smoke/carbon detectors & 14 feet ladder would operate? because a Gemach is usually for a short term usage, whereas one needs to have these smoke/carbon detectors & 14 feet ladder permanently on hand [ceiling] at home.

    Just wondering what his closest Talmid had to say about the medina… B’H a safe haven for stateless Jews to flee to. If the Medina had been around before the Holocaust, think how many more Jewish lives would have been saved by the Medina.

    Reb Yaakov Kaminetsky famously said not to give a name which would sound strange to the kids American friends. i.e. Give good Ivrith names from Tenach, and stay away fro archaic Jiddish names.

    If anyone thinks this remark is too Zionistic:- Bear in mind that no-on would give an Archaic Aramaic name out of the Talmud, so certainly a Jiddish name shouldn’t get any preferential treatment over any Aramaic name.

    Only 2 items really matter:-

    1) Money for Shadchan, unless of-course you were Zochim to meet on the internet.

    2) A Photogenic tie for the Chosson, because pictures are all you will have after the food flowers & music are gone after that 1 evening. …. Plain white ties don’t show up well on pictures.

    Problem is, the name is something like “Hencha”.

    What is the solution? Transliterate to Hadassah!! Period!!

    It will work beautiful & fine. Never give double name. Not only is it a pain for the child, but also a pain for his/her children when having to use multiple names in a MisheBerach or Kesuvo or Aliya etc.

    Somebody who does have a double name, Halachically is really supposed to utilize this double name each & every time.

    How can I sleep?? First test the batteries in your smoke detector, otherwise you surely shouldn’t be going to sleep.

    All other Cheshbonei haNefesh are way beyond the scope of any of us. But buying a smoke detector is something most of us can comprehend how to do.

    Maybe we should commence giving smoke detectors for Chasuno gifts? It could spell the Chasuno gift of life?

    Consult Hilchos Eidim Zomemmim, a Parsha which appears in Parshas Shoftim and in Tractate Makos.

    I am only anti parties that are against religious observance:- This basically means Lapid & Bennett. Yishai is doing excellent work. I also don’t have a subscription with haModia, but with another major Jewish newspaper {I cannot mention names over this kind of forum}, who is talking very positively about Yishai.

    Needless to say, I am viciously anti anyone telling followers not to vote. For all intense & practical purposes, telling followers not to vote is saying 2 things:-

    1) it is saying I don’t care about all the genuine Gedolim who said to vote.

    2) It is saying that they want to hurt the religious parties & public, and support the anti religious agendas.

    In the absence of an Eiruv many authorities don’t permit wearing watches in the street on Shabbos or Yom Kippur. Needless to say, this restriction would not apply to a cufflink watch, as it is functioning as a shirt fastener.

    I pity today’s young generations who cannot relate to the euphoria of these awesome events that haShem showered upon us.

    So you abhor your fellow Jews, even while talking about Ahavas Yisroel?
