Shimini - Teach your tongue to say "I don't know"
Vayikra 10:20 "Moshe heard and it was good in his eyes"
Rashi: Moshe admitted his error and was not ashamed.
Moshe became upset when he heard that the additional offering of a goat (se'ir Rosh Chodesh) had not been eaten by Aaron and his remaining two sons. He confronted Elazar and Isamar, followed by Aaron, and demanded an explanation. Aaron explained that he had decided that the Rosh Chodesh offering was to be burned instead of eaten, since it was not a one-time sacrifice like the other offerings which were for the dedication of the Tabernacle, and the joy of the dedication would have been diminished if they had not been eaten. As soon as Moshe heard his words he admitted that Aaron was right. He had heard that halacha from HaShem but had forgotten it!
When the Beis HaLevi was appointed Rav in Brisk a very difficult question was brought to him and instead of giving a ruling he said:
“I do not know!” The questioners were surprised and left. Sometime later a similar thing happened. The community began to feel somewhat disappointed, but no one said anything. However when it happened a third time, a meeting of laymen was held to discuss this troubling situation. They decided that they had no choice but to ask him to leave. When they communicated this to him he smiled and said:
“Do not worry. B’ezras HaShem I shall answer all your questions from this point and on. I merely wished to show both you and myself that if it ever happens that I do not know the answer, I will not be embarrassed to admit it!
Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Cohen
Advanced Halachic Bulletin
Shulchan Aruch O.C. 243:17 some hold if you make early Shabbos you can ask your friend who has not yet been mekabel Shabbos to do melacha for you.
Rav Moshe Feinstein z”l held that although a man's wife does not need to be mekabel Shabbos when her husband does, nevertheless she should not do any melacha for him since her work is owned by him.

SHABBOS: THE 48 WAYS
R
“Weekly Dose of InspirAISHon”
Last week R’ Raphael Lapin taught us: “With the plethora of hechsharim abound in the today’s world of kashrus, it has become confusing for the average consumer. In fact, we have come to perceive that the little kosher stamp or label deems a product kosher or treif. Though the kosher label is a good general guideline as to what is kosher or not, we must remember that it is not the label that makes it kosher – it is the ingredients! This is a good axiom to live by whether examining ourselves or relating to others – it is not our label that makes us kosher, it’s our ingredients.”
