Brotherly Question
All Jews say “Yaakov Avinu”.
Men and women alike.
Women are called “Bais Yaakov”. That fits.
Why are the men called “Bnei Yisroel”?
They don’t say “Yisroel Avinu”…
Shabbos Shalom!

Ramadan.
Afterwards, a gabai of Rav Ades Shlita tells me, “The Rav went thru the entire selichot earlier last night four times in different locations. Imagine what would have been otherwise!”
There’s always a Kohen Gadol in the Kodesh HaKodoshim!

At least the four questions part…
Bring your four best questions.

Command your own seder like a ben chorin!

Why
In honor of bein hazmanim shtyging, we’re launching a new daily micro video series!
For around ten years, I’d send Rav Chaim questions in the mail.
Every month an envelope came back with answers, in Rav Chaim’s handwriting!
I’m hoping to share all this material here on LNegdi Tamid.
We start today!
Chag Kasher V’Sameach!

Read each possuk three times taking three breaths between pesukim.
