Description

What is the derivation of shofar? Why do some religious items need to be made from kosher animals? Should a shofar require a hashgacha? How many blasts of the shofar are required by each of the three brachos? Why does the torah refer to R.H. as zichron teruah? How many tenets of faith are there, and how do they relate to the brachos on RH? What is the outline of how we pray? Why is a cow's horn not kosher for shofar? How does a teruah sound like? Is any teruah kosher? What is the main purpose of the beis hamikdash? Why are there no maaravos on RH eve? On which days is there a mitzvah to add a tosefes yom? How long should tosefes be? Can one fulfill the mitzvos of the day, during the tosefes period?

    1. Title: Looking for a past shiur you gave with story about Napeleon
      Author: False == 1 ? Anonymous : Ilan Rabinowitz &##44;

      Shalom Rabbi Schachter. Many thanks for your contribution to Torah - especially online where I can listen at my convenience. In one of your past shiurim on Rosh Hashana you mentioned a story about 2 communities competing against each other as to the earliest time the shofar was going to be blown - as this would ensure their prayers being answered resulting in whether Napoleon would be successful or not. Each community had a opposite view whether Napoleon would be good for the Jews. In order for their their prayers to be answered the one Rabbi / community moved the shofar blowing to shachris. Nevertheless - as a result the one Rabbi was forced to flee Napoleons officers and he hid and was protected by the opposing Rabbi notwithstanding their disagreement in outlook. You connected this to your Father who you mentioned grew up in a Lubavitch community in Europe yet they always had a Misnagid Rav. I trying to find this shiur but had no success going through about 60 of your shiurim. Do you have any idea which shiur this was and where I will be able to locate this? Much appreciated
