Making Kiddush On Schnapps – By Reb Binyomin Radner
Is one allowed to make Kiddush on schnapps or does it have to be on wine? If yes, does one need a reviis as with wine, or does the regular required shiur of reviis which is between 3.3-4.5 ounces, decrease in honor of making kiddush on schnapps? Does it decrease from a reviis to the amount of one ounce ordinarily contained in a shot-glass?
The answer to this question just like the answer to every other question in Halacha is, “It’s a machlokes!”
Gemara, Nazir 4A – Kiddush is dioraysa, but making it on wine is only midirabanan as you can also make it on bread. Kiddush at night is midioraysa, by day is midirabanan.

My Tefillin Was Stolen
(From a community member)
On Monday morning, my car window was smashed and my Tefillin removed from the car. My car was parked behind Zagara’s. No witnesses saw the actual act or anything about the person(s) who did it. A police report was filed at the time. Assuming the thief knew what it was, it is likely a community member will be approached with it. Here is my best description.
1) Standard velvet bag, stylized lions on either side of the luchos. No initials
2) Several pennies had been left in the plastic bag surrounding the velvet one for some time. Even if the velvet bag is removed, patches of green from the copper oxidising should remain. If it remains in the plastic bag there should also be a piece from a paper shel yad cover, with the black worn away in spots
3) Tefillin are in hard plastic case, black and gold. Shel yad needs blacking, if still wrapped as I left it, the strap crossing over from the wrapping around one side to the other should be quite worn and weathered.
Please contact 215-236-5584 or znsinger@yahoo.com if you have any information.
