    With a Chodesh Tov uMevoroch, because even if already Nisson 2nd, there still remain 29 days of Nisson worthy of being felicitated with a Chodesh Tov uMevoroch.

    mdd:- Because I am sick & tired of the establishment, and am petrified at prospect of a Democrat getting the white house and extending obama’s disastrous legacy.

    Trump is straight to the point. As for his latest tirade about abortions:- Trump is so correct:- Abortion = Murder.

    2scents:- Nothing whatsoever to do with sugar. I drink plenty sweet wine. It is solely to do with acid content, and for same reason hence that I don’t drink orange juice.

    Grape Juice is nothing short of a fruit juice full of acid, but alcohol in wine kills the acid.

    After several years of inviting guests to the Seder, this year I am only having my children, so that I can give them, undivided attention, and not have to deal with guests arriving late [especially this year that it shall get nite later than most years], and then whether my daughters can sing in front of other men, and quite clearly, Seder nite is my children’s time for them.

    I want to use matza meal in a recipe and am not sure if it’s ok. You can even on Erev Pesach before last 1/4 of the day, utilize matza meal in a recipe such as matza balls or filter fish balls if the item is then cooked, so Al Achas Kamo veKamo that you can surely enhance your Purim Seudo with such an item.

    You had a Pesak, so follow the Daas Toraoh of your local Orthodox Rabbi. Nowhere does the Pesak say, that you cannot leave your hat @Shul, so can still wear your hat during services.

    As far as picking up your hat, you didn’t make any mention of walking 4 Amos after picking up your hat before placing hat on thy head, so I don’t see any Hotza’ah taking place.

    Participant

    Note that for Ma’ariv, where the only change was the Shir HaMa’alos at the beginning wolfmusings:- I have an important message for you:- Shir haMa’alos at beginning of Ma’ariv, is not exclusive to Nusach Sefard. Jekkes who pray Nusach Ashkenaz also recite Shir HaMa’alos at commencement of Ma’ariv, even during Chol haMoed.

    As for how often I am on Omud:- Every Minjan I attend, even semi regularly, they already know I am cut out for the Omud, & I am almost never able to escape the Omud. Even as soon as I was over my 11 months, I could not even escape the Omud a day or 2 after that. Even during my Aveilus, the Rabbi Paskened I had a Din of a regular on Omud, and not to lead services for an entire year on Shabbos or Yom Tov, would constitute Aveilus beFarHesyo, so I had to continue on Omud even during Sheloshim let alone for entire 12 months.

    These past few years, I haven’t even been able to escape from Tephilas Tal, even when exhausted from Seder nite.

    I have already been on 2 solidarity missions to Israel this winter, and am IY’H slated to go on my 3rd solidarity mission to Israel in 6 weeks from now.

    On my 1st solidarity mission, I was safely spending Shabbos in Yerusholayim having prayed Kabolas Shabbos at the Kossel, when 130 people that very same nite got savagely murdered in Paris.

    The state department had Israel on a watch list but not France, but B’H I defied the state department, and went to Yerusholayim & not to Paris.

    Last week’s Parsha mentioned Yehoshu’a by his elongated name in conjunction with Amoleq, [despite his elongated name being assigned to him in Shelach Lecho in conjunction with the Meraglim], so now is absolutely not the time to be scared away from Israel Chas veSholom.

    Any Seforim store in Israel including ones in Meoh Sheorim [see this week’s Parsha for origins of name of Meoh Sheorim] or bookstore at Tachanat Merkazit will gladly sell these Siddurim to you. You can also get “Nehalel” Siddur at YU Seforim sale, only another 3 months to go until February.

    I am going on a solidarity mission to Israel this week, to spite the Arabs, and would be more than happy to pick up these Siddurim for you.

    I am finally IY’H going on my solidarity trip to Israel this week, so will finally be commencing “veSen Tal uMotor” as soon as I am Zoche to set foot on Admas Kodesh BE’H later this week.

    I am well cognizant of what a great Zechus it is to be Zoche to be able to set foot into Eretz Yisroel, just thinking back of how Moshe Rabbeinu prayed 515 requesting/imploring haShem to enter Eretz Yisroel, and sadly was denied this privilege.

    In more contemporary times, just thinking about Jonathan Pollard who shall be coming out of jail in 13 days time, and yet shall be denied opportunity of going to Israel, for another 5 years.

    Something like the Kol Rinah or Koren siddurim should not be allowed in any Jewish home. nishtdayngesheft:- FYI:- The Rinat Yisrael Siddur, and the Koren Siddur are both excellent Siddurim, both of which I possess several copies & frequently utilize. Another great Siddur, is the “Nehalel” Siddur for Shabbos, which I now utilize each & every Shabbos..

    Sorry I cannot help you; I possess many Siddurim, but don’t possess any Artscroll Siddurim, nor ever utilize an Artscroll Siddur. Even when in a Shul where I need to utilize 1 of their Siddurim,I make sure never to utilize an Artscroll Siddur, since Artscroll cannot dictate Nussach haTefillo for the masses.
