First of the Tishrei Guests arriving. Illustration Photo by: chpicturesblog.com

The Crown Heights as we know it today, is diverse on their opinions in many matters. One of which is the Tishrei Orchim [guests]. Most are well aware of the great kiruv the Rebbe gave to his orchim, and many are in admiration of all those who spend of their hard earned money to be in 770 for Tishrei.

And perhaps in the point of being the Rebbes Orchim and orchim to 770 is precisely where the dissention amongst Crown Heights residents finds itself. If all of these people would truly have this matter ingrained in the depths of their hearts, that they are in Crown Heights as the Rebbes Orchim then much up of the pent up uneasiness amongst the locals would subside.

Brooklyn, NY [CHI] — Hypnosis – that word evokes mystery and a fear of the unknown. That might all changed with Dr. Mordechai (Mutty) Weinberger, the first frum hypnotist, a prominent therapist who has revealed that one can learn the Nifloas HaBoireh in understanding the brain’s functions. Even more, if we learn how to understand the inner workings of the brain, we can be empowered to change our lives by taking control and building better and stronger relationships.

Appearing in this months issue of the OK Kosher's Kosher Spirit Magazine is a Halachic question “is it permissible to have an alcoholic drink from a clean glass at a bar/lounge?”

Rabbi Hanoka responds:

First, we have to look at the question from a halachic perspective. Is cold liquid in a non-kosher vessel permissible? The simple answer is that one is allowed to use a clean non-kosher vessel for cold liquids on a temporary basis, as long as one does not have the liquid sitting in the vessel for 24 hours (the time it takes for kovush – pickling). Halacha requires all non-kosher vessels to be cleaned before use. One can rely on the fact that a reputable establishment keeps all items clean to comply with health regulations.
