Va'era - "You don't say!"
Shemos 6:12 "ve'ani aral sefosayim"
Targum Onkelos translates "aral sefosayim" as "it is heavy for me to speak"
Rav Yakov Koppel Reich from Bodofst was a great orator. His son once found his father deep in thought as he prepared a drosho that he was going to give that evening.
"Is it true that even a great orator like my father needs to prepare so much before he gives his drosho?" He inquired from his father. His father smiled and answered him:
"I am not preparing what I am going to say. I am preparing what I am not going to say!"
Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Cohen
Advanced Halachic Bulletin
Question submitted by Steve Dorfman
Aruch HaShulchan 91:7 states that in times of tzorus, you should daven with your hands clasped together and fingers interlocked. However, in times of tranquility you should not, because it causes you to be judged with din
Piskei Tshuvos 95:5 states that Arizal was careful never to hold his hands in that manner because it is bad mazal. Aruch HaShulchan states that although placing one hand inside the other is the best way to hold your hands when davening, each person is different and should keep his hands the way he feels comfortable, like on a Shtender or holding on to a shelf. However, you should make sure not to daven while wearing gloves.
