  • By Rabbi Yaakov Goldstein
  • Under Daily Halacha

The two holes of the Tallis Katan:[1] Some Poskim[2] rule that the Tzitzis is not to be tied in its classic method, in which only one hole is made by the corner, and the Tzitzis is looped through that hole. Rather the Tallis is to have two adjacent holes made […]

Question: [Tuesday, 6th Sivan, 5781] I have started to work as a Shadchan and have received conflicting information regarding who a Kohen is allowed to marry. It’s very confusing because obviously I only want to set up couples who are halachically allowed to marry each other. I know that a […]

The history and reasons behind washing hands for bread

  • Posted 15 June 2021
  • By Rabbi Yaakov Goldstein
  • Under Daily Halacha

The history of washing for bread:[1] The obligation of washing hands prior to eating food is not rooted in the Torah, and is thus not of Biblical status, but rather is Rabbinical. The Rabbinical institution to wash hands developed gradually from generation to generation. Until the time of King Shlomo, […]
