DAF YOMI SPONSORSHIPS We offer our members the opportunity to sponsor a week of Daf

Yomi learning for $225 - a wonderful way to commemorate a Yahrzeit, celebrate a Simcha, or support Torah learning in our Shul.

To sponsor please call or email the Shul office. This week is sponsored by:

Dr. Arthur & Yafa Platt, in memory of his father, Pinchas ben Moshe Menachem, Z”L

Scott & Aviva Krieger, in memory of his father, Milton (Moshe ben Baruch) Krieger, Z”L

Halakhic Corner Question: Must the Shabbat candles be placed on the table where the Shabbat meal will take place, or may they be positioned on a side table or buffet? Answer: Many Halakhic authorities, including the late Rabbi Soloveitchik and Rabbi Feinstein, instructed that one should place the Shabbat candles directly on the table where the Shabbat meals are served. They noted that the entire purpose for the institution of Shabbat candles was in order to illuminate the table on which one eats. If, however, there are extenuating circumstances that do not allow one to place the candles directly on the table, then the candles should be placed as close to the table as possible. The above refers to the householder, who can kindle the candles at the table. A guest, however, who is staying in a hotel should kindle lights in their hotel room, and not where the Shabbat meals will be eaten (see Mishna Brurah 263: 45-46).
