Great answer, I didn't think of that one.

Don't you know the choshiva guy naming his firstborn son Chaim yehuda after the נודע ביהודא and חפץ חיים?

[YitzyS]

נודע ביהודא

His father's name was Yehuda IIRC

What I had in mind was the Yosef Lekach by R' Eliezer Ashkenazi. It's named after a Jewish Politician named Don Joseph who assisted him in his time of need according The Travels of Rabbi Eliezer Ashkenazi.

Here's another:

How many brachos is it possible to make on liquids? Obviously there is Shehakol and Hagafen. How many other possible brachos?

Yup. This was what I was looking for, though I like the creative answers from the next posters.

I once delved into the possibility of making Mezonos on liquid, like a case of the liquid of barley soup, but the poskim I spoke to told me that it's not possible unless you are also eating some of the barley.

Here is another but I don't know that answer to this one. This is from Rabbi Reisman's weekly Parsha shiur that is emailed out to thousands of people. He asked this question last year on Shabbos Hagadol, but I never got the following week's paper to know the answer. I'm assuming it has to do with Pesach.

"One more riddle for which you have to know a S’if in Shulchan Aruch. How is it possible to eat one Kezayis of Kosher food and eating that Kezayis obligates you in 20 Berachos because you ate that Kezayis? The answer will be told IY”H next week."

[yungermanchik]

Eating before havdala if you weren't mavdil in Shmoneh esrei. 19 brachos in Shmoneh esrei. plus bracha acharonh.
Could've been 23 with bread.

[jj1000]

I would think that it's called their torah.\

Sefer Torah 😂😂😂

[yuneeq]

Borei nefashot
Kiddush
Hafrashat teruma

[imayid2]

Need a kzayis for this?

[YitzyS]

Interesting, but I think his answer would be along the lines of Pesach. I'm assuming the answer is the kezayis of Matza at the seder. And I'm assuming the brachos include brachos on mitzvos of growing wheat and more process things, like Hafrashas Challah, Kiddush before, etc.

[yuneeq]

Neither missing havdalah in tefillah nor eating before havdalah obligates you to repeat shmoneh esrei. And the kzayis doesn't matter either.
