How to be Mafrish Challah


Beigel's Medium Braided Challah 30 Oz. - Pack of 2 Challahs



According to Harav Y.S. Elyashiv zt"l, (Ashrei Haish Y.D.)

The proper way to do Hafroshas Challah is to have in mind,
when removing the Challah from the dough  not to be yotzie 
the Mitzvah.
After making the Bracha holding the Challah in the hand, 
you raise the Challah and have in mind with this to perform the 
Mitzvah of Hafroshas Challah.

1)The Challah should be held in your hand while making  the Bracha.
2) The Bracha should be done before the performance of the Mitzvah.

Chasidim follow the Shulchan Aruch



The Mechaber (Shulchan Aruch O.Ch.8:11) writes:

"The Ikar Mitzvah of Talis Katan is to wear it on
top of the clothing worn so it will be seen at all times
and remember the Mitzvos".

The Magen Avraham quotes from the Kesavim
(Kisvei Arizal) not to do so but to wear it underneath
the clothing.

Most Chasidim* wear the Talis on their shirt (Shulchan Aruch)
Non Chasidim wear the Talis Katan under the shirt (Kabbalah)


*except Chabad
 

The Pasuk that has no אמת in it.

The Ba'al Hatanya as a child was asked
 " Which Pasuk in the Torah ends with the 
same three words that it begins with?"

His answer was, 
"The Pasuk that has no אמת in it."


אני ה' אלוקיכם אשר הוצאתי אתכם מארץ מצרים
להיות לאלוקים אני ה' אלוקיכם                      


No אמת at end of Pasuk (only in Siddur)

Tach Vtat memorial day



In 1171, 31 Yidden were burned in the city of Blois France.
Rabeinu Tam was Gozer Ta'anis on כ' סיון 

He said: 
​ ​
" this Ta'anis is greater than Tzom Gedalya being it is like Yom Kippur."

After the גזרת ת"ח ות"ט  (C​hmelnytsky ym"s 1648-9) The Va'ad Arba Artzos reintroduced the Ta'anis of chof sivan


In 1946 The Gedolim in Hungary picked chof sivan as the day to commemorate the Holocaust by fasting and  Slichos. 


A special Selichos for כ' סיון was printed in Budapest.

In Eretz Yisroel Harav Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky zt"l along with other Gedolim tried during the war when  the terrible information started to become public  to 
establish  a whole week of  Aveilus (Shiva)  and a single  day of Taanis. 

The Chazon Ish and Brisker Rov z
t"l both opposed the idea


They held in our generation we are not big enough to declare a new fast day for Klall Yisroel.


As a result the Hungarian initiative gradually fell apart.  

Reb Moishe Feinstein zt"l (Igros Moshe Y.D.4:57) explains
that the Gezeiras Hitler ym"s was about  to destroy the  whole 
Jewish nation in the whole world.

This Gezeira is part of the original  Gezeiras Galus   which
Chazal had already established the fast days . We
are not big enough to add more to Takonas Chazal.

Whereas the Gezeiras תתנ"א  & ת"ח ות"ט etc. were local
Gezeiros. In such cases we may  be Gozer Ta'anis. 

The same way if an individual goes
through ח"ו a צרה ל"ע may fast so too a Kehila may
establish a fast.
