Kitzur Shulchan Aruch

So we'll do the Torah in T for the portion of Noah, and we change the year.

It's five seven eight three, Tav Shin Peh Gimel, and this is based and also on the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch volume fifteen.

We changed it from what we've been doing.

Uh, previously, uh, we've been doing volume nineteen.

We only need to listen to Hashem.

[upbeat music] In the Halacha section, we will learn a halacha from Kitzur Shulchan Aruch siman vav, sif ches about what we should think about when we say amen.

When we hear a bracha, we are supposed to answer amen.

What are we supposed to think about when we say amen? The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch teaches us what we should have in mind when we say amen.

It depends what we are answering amen to.

The word amen means true, like the word emes.

They could fulfill this obligation.

It's called Kitzur Shulchan Aruch.

They have it in English translated, and people, they say that it's given them a new lease on life.

Moreover, the Sharmitzion about halacha in Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman Tes Sif Katan Yud, says that if you live in a time and a place where the tzitzit don't typically get torn, so then it becomes a situation of a meyu ta de meyu ta, and you need not check your tzitzit.

And I saw that so was the opinion of the Chazan Ish, and so was the opinion of the Rav Adi Yosef Zatzal in Chelek, yeah, Chavados, Sha'alas Uteshuvos Chavados Chelek Vav, Siman Alef, that we could rely on the cheskes kashrus of the tzitzit.
