The blessing recited at the beginning of the meal covers all foods eaten to a room that one normally enters in middle of a meal, such as the kitchen, sukkah separates it from the house, then they are considered to be the same If one remains in the common hallway without entering another as part of the meal until birchas hamazon is recited at the end. The Shulchan restroom, or a child’s bedroom, is there no issue of changing locations. His location. However, if the sukkah is erected outside the house, and the walls of apartment, Rav Shlomo Zalman (Shvus Yitzchok ibid.) and Rav Nissim Aruch and the Rema (178:1, 2) discuss the status of one who changes his mind in reasoning (Chidushei Basra §28) is that it is considered as if one has expressed the house separate them, then it is considered another room in the same house. Karelitz (Chut Shani Shabbos vol. 4, p. 96) are of the opinion that it can be middle of his meal and wishes to complete it in another location, regarding the intention to enter the locations he usually enters. Rav Elyashiv (Shvus Yitzchok ibid. §4) makes a similar distinction with regard to considered a room in the same house since the common hallway belongs necessity of reciting birchas hamazon and new blessings in the second location. Shu”t Shevet Halevi (vol. 1, 205, on Siman 178) offers an alternative changing locations in middle of eating. If the space between the sukkah and the (partially) to each apartment. On the other hand, Rav Vozner (ibid. §28), Rav The opinion of the Shulchan Aruch (178:1) is that if one leaves in the middle of approach.

He must recite birchas hamazon over reclined in his place and the shamash (waiter) served them. Then, there was of three tefachim (handbreadths) between the house and the sukkah, they are it is considered a separate location. However, Rav Elyashiv differentiates the food that he already ate and recite new blessings before continuing to eat. no reason for anyone to get up from his seat during the meal and if one left the considered distinct locations and one should not move from one to the other between the area of the common hallway immediately adjacent to the door The Mishnah Berurah §12 and §26 rules like the Rema who disagrees with the room it was an interruption.

The different floors are considered rooms in the same house since they are to recite new blessings in the second location; only if one already left the first During a meal one should not leave the location in which he is eating and Mishnah Berurah (§12) writes that so long as the rooms are under the same roof under the same roof and if one had intention at the beginning of his meal to place without reciting birchas hamazon after eating bread may he continue in some circumstances this even requires that he recite new blessings in order they are considered to be in the same house, even from the ground floor to the complete it there, it does not constitute a change of location. eating in the second location without reciting any blessings.

    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) TE TZAVEH _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah An Incense Offering The Mizbei’ach HaZohov (Golden Altar), on which the ketores (incense) was burned, was among the furniture and vessels of the Mishkon . However, although almost all the furniture and vessels of the Mishkon are described in Parshas Teruma , the making of the Mizbei’ach HaZohov is described only in Parshas Tetzaveh , in which the clothing of the Kohanim are depicted. Why is this so? The time would come, explains Rav Levi Yitzchok, when Korach and his cohorts would challenge Aharon’s rights to the position of Kohen Godol . At that time, Moshe would use the ketores as the litmus test. Both Aharon and the challengers would bring pans of ketores . Aharon’s would be accepted, while the disputers would perish in the attempt. Therefore, in the context of the priestly vestments described in Parshas Tetzaveh , which enabled Aharon to perform his duties in the Mishkon , the Torah also describes the Mizbei’a ch HaZohov that would one day authenticate Aharon’s claims to the high office of Kohen Godol . n Story The following story, often told by Rav Sholom Schwadron, took place in a small town 1 Tet zaveh / [email protected] in the Ukraine. It involves a kind-hearted, wealthy man named Zalman, who gave generously to poor people and other charitable causes.
