Description

Who calls out "kohanim?" What is the nature of the bracha that the kohanim recite before birchas kohanim? Which mitzvos require a bracha recited prior to its performance? Is maftir counted as one of the seven aliyos on shabbos? Is a chatzi kadish always recited prior to the haftorah? Which taanis tzibur are there today and what is the nature of a taanis tzibur? Chumash-Toldos: the whole existence of am yisrael and eretz yisrael does not fit into natural laws.
