    1. Title: With a Keli or Without a Keli?
      Author: False == 1 ? Anonymous : Chaim Simons &##44;

      <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">In many washrooms in or adjacent to a toilet, one will find a keli for netilas yadayim. According to the halachah, is one required to use such a keli? The answer is no. It was a personal custom of the Chazon Ish to use a keli. However, Rabbi Abba Shaul would intentionally not use a keli, even if one was to be found in the washroom.</span></p>

    2. Title: Asher Yotzer Card

      <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" align="left"><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">In order to remind people to say &ldquo;asher yotzer&rdquo; and /or to give them the text of this berachah, during the last years, some very decorative &ldquo;asher yotzer&rdquo; cards have been been produced to attach to the wall near the washbasin for netillas yadayim, with some of them having the name of Hashem written in full. According to the Tzitz Eliezer one may recite this berachah in a room where there is a toilet, washbasin and various other facilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>On the basis of this, is it permitted to hang up such a card in such a room? One should also remember that there are times when the toilet in such a room is in actual use.</span></span></span></p>
