Whether this is permissible… The wheelchair-bound, rachmana litzlan (G-d forbid), who are unable to leave their apartments on their own, are often assisted by non-Jewish aides who naturally wish to transport their charges via the elevator, including on Shabbos. Whether this is permissible is subject to a dispute among contemporary halachic authorities: many maintain that if using the stairs was a viable option, and the non-Jewish caretakers are using the elevator solely for their own convenience, itโs permitted, since this action isnโt being taken strictly on the Jewish personโs behalf. However, the following conditions must be present: There arenโt so many steps that…Show more

There is a clear halachah in Shulchan Aruch that a shadchan should be paid a brokerage fee, as any other type of broker. The amount to be paid is determined by minhag hamokom, according to the going rate in that community.

There are guidelines for women, as well: When Torah sources speak of a woman on horseback, she is always โsittingโ as opposed to โriding.โ The Gemara explains this distinction to mean that riding astride is deemed a breach of tznius (modesty) for women.

When saying the brocho, since it is the first time he puts on tefilin, should he say shehechiyanu? And in the same fashion, a Bar Mitzvah boy who puts on tefilin for the first time should he say shehechiyanu? And if yes, if he had a Hanochas Tefilin, does he need to say shehechiyanu since he was not obligated to put on tefilin before? Answer: No. Show more
