Ask a Lubavitcher Anything

[imayid2]

Just check to see if the Rav is quoting anybody else when using that term.

He isn’t. He’s explaining why he is not bringing down a מג״א

[myi]

Is it that the Americans tantz the wrong way?
 I got quite dissy dancing clockwise.

[ExGingi]

Interesting. So he could of been in any of the above when he wrote this (ק״א סימן תק״ז) I suppose:



I was finding it puzzling to apply it to Russia.

FTFY

I don't have it in front of me. What does the footnote say?

[ExGingi]

Little Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine, or Western parts of Russia. (Specifically probably in Lyady)

ETA: See here for various places at different times, and more importantly here.

They are just מציין to what he says in הלכות סוכות that where it is very cold one is not required to sleep in the סוכה.

[koplonko]

Where was the שלחן ערוך הרב written? Mainly I'd like to know when he says "במדינותינו" which country he is referring to.

What does the rama mean when he writes that?

Go see what Russia feels like in teves shvat and you'll understand why sukkos is not that bad

[yungermanchik]

What does the rama mean when he writes that?

Either Krakow specifically or the Arbah Aratzos, or all Ashkanazic communities depending on the context.

Good. Now realize that the shulchan aruch a Harav is often quoting the rama

Not the one I quoted. He’s explaining why HE made the decision to omit a מג״א who has a leniency for yom tov. Since it’s dependent on  קור גדול which he says isn’t applicable, he chose to omit it.

Sounds like he may have been a chosid and the cold (or rain) didn't bother him.

Nah. That halacha is conspicuously missing in the Shulchon Orech Harav.

In fact he says the opposite. Brings down the heter of cold and says that someone who eats in the sukka when they are patur is nikra hedyit.

Very interesting. But others were saying that he doesn’t say anything different on this matter in the siddur either.

[ExGingi]

Which Hayom Yom do you read/learn today?

[Dave321]

why dont you make kiddush between 6-7?

[Dan]

why dont you make kiddush between 6-7?

See shulchan aruch harav?
But is it 6-7 on the clock or is it adjusted for when real noon is in your area?
And is it only red wine or white wine too?

[Ver hut gazugt]

See shulchan aruch harav?
But is it 6-7 on the clock or is it adjusted for when real noon is in your area?
And is it only red wine or white wine too?

based on your area, so ny is about 55 or 56, Both red and white.

מג״א bring down not to because מזל מאדים is שולט.

This raises the question that the Gemara in Shabbos (קכט) says that מאדים is only problematic when it’s שולט on an even hour. The first hour of ליל שבת (ie 6-7) is odd.
