the mother of of the Kohain Godal would bring food to the people entrapped in the ar'ai miklot so that they wouldnt pray for her sons early death

so if you can pray for a leader of the jewish people to die than Im pretty sure that you can prey for the Mets to win the world series

the only difference is that the kohain godal is pretty much guaranteed to die eventually and there is no guarantee that the Mets will ever win
Doesn't mean it was right for them to pay for his death

Does anyone know why you need to have three whole matzos for the Seder?
Why can't you use a broken middle one and then break it again for יחץ.  Is it only showing לחם עוני if you break a whole matzo?
Read the 14th paragraph.

PS, I didn't read it, just saw he's discussing it there.

True, but if it was a legitimate concern that showes their tiffilos would have been answered even for the mundane.
Honestly, I don't quite get the question.
Besides for the fact that Parts of shimoneh esrei are asking for mundane.
Why wouldn't you be able to ask for the  mundane. If it's important to you its important to g-d.

The question is what, in proper haskafah, should and shouldn't you daven for - not what will your davening be effective for.

Could be, but that's not the way I understood it being asked. Either way I maintain that if it's important to you "shoot away".
If you feel that it's something too mundane to be proper to ask for I would think the first step would be reassessing your priorities. But while its still important to you, its important to g-d.

Regarding Ta'anis Bechoros, in a pinch is a Siyum on a Massechta of Mishnayos enough?

So here's what I just realized. If u have a subscription on amazon that has chametz in it, that may constitute owning chametz over Pesach. Although the food is only delivered to you at a later date, you seem to have an ownership on it right now in the amazon warehouse, which is problematic over pesach. Any thoughts/ opinions on the matter?
Not a rav, but definitely should not be a problem.
when do you get charged?
Doesn't matter, see below.
You dont take ownership of it until it is delivered, even if you were already charged.

Proof- if you refuse delivery, the item will be returned and you will get a full refund.

ETA- The fact that its set aside for you in Amazons warehouse should have no bearing halachically. Even the chometz that you sell to the goy over YT is "set aside" by the goy in your own house to resell to you after YT.
Has nothing to do with refusing delivery, or if it is set aside. Halachik concept of ownership for metaltelin (literally movable possesions) requires a maaseh of kinyan like hagba'a (picking up the item) or chalipin like we do w selling the chometz in the first place. Paying money for an item does not create a kinyan nor does it transfer ownership. You should have no problem with the chometz if the delivery is not made until after Pesach. But def ask your LOR.

What's the "pinch"? You have plenty of time to start Tamid.  :)

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Is having peyos behind your ears a halacha.

If anything, might be a shailoh. Hair that is normally covered, when touched might require washing hands

Is behind the ears considered covered ?
