Description

Shiur given on a bus in Satu Mare. What is the status of a convert, who reverts back to his old ways? Can one use the Gregorian calendar? Why were the Satmar Rebbe and the Minchas Elazar opposed to Zionism? Can one redeem maaser sheni toady in Israel, with British money, as the Chazon Ish did? Does the mitzvah of techeilis always apply? Why did the Satmar Rebbe start to sit in the succah on shemini atzeres, when he came to New York? Does one recite a shehechianu when performing any mitzvah, for the first time? Does one drink the wine of sheva berachos after seuda shelishis? Can a chazan from a status quo shul be the chazan in a orthodox shul? Does a gezeira always apply when the reason does not apply? Can a kohen with a blemish duchan?
