Good Judgment - Rosh Hashana
One year R' Dovid Lelov decided to spend Rosh HaShana with his mentor,
the Chozeh of
house to see the great Chozeh. Before Tekios, the Chozeh cloistered himself
privately in his study. R' Dovid was chosen to enter the study and bring the
Chozeh to Musaf. When he entered, the boy took the opportunity to
accompany him. The Chozeh turned to him and asked:
“Have you begun to learn Gemora yet?”
“Yes!” he answered.
“What are you studying?” continued the Chozeh.
“Edyos.” replied the boy.
“Did you find anything in this Gemora difficult?” asked the Chozeh.
“I didn’t understand why our sages say that relatives are invalid for giving good
and bad testimony. I can understand why their positive testimony is invalid;
after all a person will do all he can to protect his relative. But why would his
negative testimony be rejected? If a man will say negative things about a
relative, it must certainly be true, because what person would falsely accuse his
own relative?
“How did you resolve your question?” probed the Chozeh.
It says that two men must stand to give testimony. What kind of person could
give negative testimony against a realative? Such a person is not worth of the
name ‘man’, and so for this alone he is invalid to give testimony.”
The Chozeh’s turned to R' Dovid and smiled
“Even a child understands that a person cannot see evil in his relative. If so,
surely HaShem doesn’t see any evil in his children!”
The Chozeh then rejoined the con
the year would be good!!

Advanced Halachic bulletin
No breath may taken between the short beeps of the Teruah, or the longer beeps between each Shevarim. There are two views of how to blow the Shevarim-Terurah combination. Some hold that no breath may be taken between them and even B’diavad, a breath between them invalidates the blast. Others hold that a breath should be taken between the Shevarim and the Teruah. The custom in most con
