1) The Amidah prayer is identified as three parts: 1) praise (1st 3 blessings); 2) requests (middle 12/13 blessings; 3) thanksgiving (last 3 blessings). How does the latter theme apply to the blessing Retzei or to Sim Sholom?[1] 2) I used the facilities during my recital of Pesukei deZimra. Ithen began reciting Asher Yotzar and then realised that I should have left it for after Shmone Esrei. Should I have finished the brocho right then, or should I have left it unfinished?[2]3) Right near our house there’s a NJ place of worship, whose bells ring every quarter hour. May we consciously benefit from hearing those rings?[3]4) When a wedding is held on Lag b’Omer, may the music continue after nightfall?[4] 5) Someone travelling to EY for Yomtov and will keep Yomtov one day. Is he permitted to travel back on the 8th day of Pesach, which is Isru Chag in EY, and stay in the airport until it gets dark?[5]6) We have a program that gives Jewish students credits for coming to classes at Chabad on Campus. These credits can be exchanged for cash-gift cards. I wish to offer this for Shabbos classes too but was concerned that it would be an issue of Schar Shabbos. However, in order to get their credits, thestudents must complete an after-course review (which would be done after Shabbos). Does this qualify for b'havlaah?[6]7) Can I toivel a new canister in the snow? [7]8) We ordered mugs to give to people on our team. The mugs have a special polymer coating, so that the customers can press their own text or design onto them. Our design was added in our office, by a Jew. May we view the mugs ashaving been manufactured by a Jew and therefore not in need of tevilah?[8]9) Feedback on reading Haftorah when reviewing שנים מקרא even when it won’t be read in Shul, only if it’s at least the Haftorah of the week’s Sedra. Why then is it our Minhag to include וערבה in שנים מקרא of Shabbos haGodol, even when it won’t be read in Shul?To sponsor a Shiur – to honour a special occasion -contact: dayan@lubavitchuk.com[1] ההיתר של סק"ט).[2] ראה שוע"ר המקום.[3] ראה שערים מצויינים בהלכהסי' קסז אות ח בשם שו"ת דברי מלכיאלח"א סי' צ.
