Shemos – A Time to Cry

Shemos 2:6 “…and the child was crying”

 

Rav Chaim Kanievsky of Bnei Brak, the son of the illustrious Steipler Z”L many

times gave parents the following advice:

 

Often parents become angry with the school or the Rebbe when their child

brings home a bad report card and their child is upset. They go to the Rebbe

with a complaint:

“Why did my wonderful child get such a report card?” 

Instead they should just let the child cry and not try to mollify the child. What

purpose does this serve? It accustoms the child to the fact that life is full of

challenges and disappointments and not everything comes easily or without

effort. He cited Chovos HaLevovos that explained that this is the reason that

babies have to go through the agonizing pain of teething, to accustom them to

the pain that they are going to have to go through later in life!

Advanced Halachic Bulletin

Rav Sheinberg Shlita:

If you borrow a private Talis for the purpose of “Kavod Hatzibor” e.g. being called for an Aliya to the Torah or to be Chazan, you do not make a Bracha.

If you intend to wear it to Daven, you need to make a Bracha. 

If you took a Shul Talis to daven, you make a Bracha.

If you took a Shul Talis for “Kavod Hatzibor” e.g. being called for an Aliya to the Torah or to be Chazan you do not make a Bracha.

Mishne Brure: You make a Bracha on a Shul Talis even for Kavod Hatzibor

Rav Moshe Z”L: If you wear a private Talis for an Aliyah you do not make a Bracha, but for Davening from the Amud, you need to make a Bracha.

Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach z”l: You do not make a Bracha on a Shul Talis for Kavod Hatzibor.

 

Have a great Shabbos!
