Calculation methods for intermediate time of chanukah lighting 1/ if 4 mil is 50 min, 3/4 mil is (50/4 x 3/4) = 9.375 then rounded up (to the minute) = 10 minutes 2/ see gemara Shabbat 34b, night time is calculated as equal to the time it takes to walk 3/4 of a "mil" after sunset and it's the shitta of the Geonim and the GR"A |

Why put on Tefillin shel yad halfway? an interesting point I learn while searching information on the way one wraps the retzuos around the middle finger : the Brisker practice to wrap around the finger before starting on the tefillah shel rosh (see Hilchos HaGra uminhag siman 38, Teshuvot Vehanhagot 1:38 and 4:10 from Rav Sternbuch shlita) |

Is it better to wear wool tzitzis? The assertion that some ashkenazim wear cotton tallis katan because of heat always surprise me. It is known that sephardic wear wool talis katan albeit north african / middle east heats beat widely american or european ones. So I really don't understand this argument... |
