Article: Glove-free Mitzvos

  The Gemora tells of a rather finicky Kohen, Yisachar Ish K’far Barka’ee, who would put on gloves before performing the avodah (holy work) in the Beis Hamikdash. Besides for this conduct…

As a guest, must one stand for the Chupa and if so, for all of it, or only certain parts?

  • The 3 Weeks, Wedding
  • Sheva Brachos, wedding dates

I am trying to choose a date to get married. A good date would be Yud Beis Tammuz. Would there be a halachic issue having the wedding so close to the beginning of the three weeks and having sheva brachos over shiv’a asar b’tammuz?

  The Rebbe actually mentions 13 Taamuz for a wedding date. Not a problem at all to make sheva brachos during the 3 weeks. Obviously on 17 Taamuz there can…

  • kesuba

Is it OK for me as rabbi who is officiating at a wedding to use a Kesuba which has English translation after the signatures of the witnesses.

  Yes, however the witness should not sign the English. The reason why it's OK, is because it says clearly that it's not a literal translation, thus any discrepancies between…

Is it Minhag Chabad to have the Chupa outside in the street or is it OK to have it indoors with an opening above the Chupah as is standard in many halls?

  It is okay.   ראה אג״ק חי״ב אגרת ג׳תתקכח: יישר כח על מאמרו נגד הפשרות, שזהו בקעה היותר מבהילה במדינה זו ובתקופה זו, ולא לבד שאין נוהגין כהוראת תורתנו במקרים…
