  • rabbeinu tam tefillin

A Lubavitcher Bochur who has not put on Tefillin for a long time put on Rashis but doesn’t want to put on Rabbeinu Tam because he doesn’t plan on continuing. Is he right or is it better that he does it once in a while rather than never?

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

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).

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…
