comment Kel (Melech) Chanun V'Rachum — do you say Melech?
Does Chabad-Lubavitch have a standard practice on this one? How about Sefardim?

Yirmeyahu do you have a source that calls Islam avodah zarah for a Jew? That's the part I've never heard of. Check out Rambam Hilchos Teshuva 3:15 vs 3:17.

comment Getting benefit from a church
"or any other place of worship other then a shul" -- I'm really not sure where that's coming from. I've always heard that you're allowed to enter a mosque; even if there's a problem of how it looks, or bad influences -- I can't see how you could prohibit benefit.

comment Tevilas Keilim for Glass
The requirement on glass is rabbinic, but it still warrants a bracha. (We say brachas on rabbinic mitzvas all the time.) The only time we do no-bracha is if there's a doubt whether it's required, e.g. a difference of opinion among poskim.

comment Shnayim Ushloshim - mi yodeya?
I don't know how Chanoch thought of it to begin with. But I then wrote a computer program to calculate it. Then it's easy to update with the number of your choosing.
