Mivtzoyim

  • Candle Lighting, Mivtzoyim
  • או"ח רסג

A women on my Mivtzoyim route finishes work at 6 PM on Friday afternoon (Shabbos). Is there any way that she can light Shabbos candles at work and perhaps eat something by the candles?

  Regardless of whether its allowed to be done or not, it doesn't seem proper to do, as it would be sanctioning Chillul Shabbos. You should advise her for someone…

  • Rebbe picture

Would it be better to give out things on Mivtzoyim without a Rebbe picture, so that it shouldn’t be thrown out?

  You should continue giving out the picture of the Rebbe. The same issue and even more serious is about the Torah literature that you distribute. You should still give…

  • Megillah, Mivtzoyim, Shlichus

Can Megilah be read early on Leil purim (if that’s the only way to have these people hear Megilah)?

  Yes, from Plag HaMincha.   Sources: שולחן ערוך תרצב, ד. מי שהוא אנוס קצת ואינו יכול לילך לבית הכנסת וצריך להמתין עד אחר שקראו הקהל וקשה עליו לישב בתענית כל…

  • Mivtzoyim, Seudah

Can one eat the Purim meal earlier in the day, If they will be doing Mivtzoim later?

  Usually, the custom is to eat this meal after Minchah in the late afternoon, since we are busy with reading the Megillah, giving out matonos l’evyonim and mishloach manos in the morning. The…

  If men will be present it is forbidden. See here (excerpt below). From the age of 11, a girl may certainly not sing in front of men (or boys over…

  • Mivtzoyim, Tefillin

On Mivtzoyim I go to someone who is right handed from birth but had an accident and cannot use his right hand (besides for opening and closing his fingers) so now he uses his left hand for all practical needs. Which hand should he lay the Tefillen on?

  He puts on his left hand. There are those that say that in this situation he puts on right arm (מ״ב סי׳ כז ס״ק כב בשם הדגול מרבבה). However…

  • Gentiles, Mivtzoyim, Tzedaka

While on Mivtzoyim, a couple of non-Jews gave us money for Tzedakah. Can we treat that money like regular Tzedakah? If not, what should we do with it?

  In this case, as long as they didn't give it in the name of their Avodah Zara, there is no issue. The money should be used to pay for…

  Full Question: In one of the offices I visit on Mivtzoim on a weekly basis there's a gentleman that may have a little warped beliefs in relation to Yoshke,…

  • Mechiras Chometz, Mivtzoyim, Pesach

1. I have a liquor store on my Mivtzoim route that I want to sell their Chometz for Pesach but they do not want to close for 8 days (they are not Shomer Shabbos at all). Could I do a normal Mechiras Chometz even if he will still be working in the store?  2. There is a 3 way partnership all Jewish and one of them is the manager of the store do I need to get from all 3 of them Mechiras Chometz for the store or just the manager? (The other 2 do not work in the store).

  1. Mechiras Chometz should be done even if he will still be working in the store during Pesach. but you should tell them that they cannot use the Chometz during…

  • Gentiles, Mivtzoyim

May I participate in a party before a wedding of a Jewish woman who is not yet Frum, if there won’t be so much Judaism going on there, just fun party games? (the religious women are making sure everything is 100% kosher- made by us and everything is according to Halacha). 

  Additional Question: At the party I want the Kallah to make the Bracha on Challah dough to get her to do a Mitzvah before her wedding. A. She will…

  • Candle Lighting, Mivtzoyim, Shabbos
  • mivtzoim

On my Mivtzoim route someone goes home from work after Shabbos starts. Should I give him Shabbos candles to light at work? 

  You should not give him candles to light at work. If he is married, you should instead encourage his wife to light in the home before sunset.   Reason: …

  • mivtzoim

If the reason I would buy a Megillah is only for Mivtzoim, may I pay for it with Maaser?

  Yes, if you cannot afford to do it with your own money. It remains always Mivtzoim’s possession. It is important to inscribe somewhere who the real owner is.  …

As we were doing Mivtzoim and giving out Menorahs someone gave me a $10 donation. We planned on using this $10 to buy Menorahs for the next time we go on Mivtzoim. The money fell out of my coat pocket a little while later. Do I have to pay $10 from my own money?

  If the Tzedakah money had not been designated to a particular recipient, no one has a claim to it; thus the one that was holding the money doesn’t have the…
