Rav Yehudah Hachassid and his Shidduchin II By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff
(RabbiKaganoff.com)
In a previous article, we discussed the writings of Rav Yehudah Hachassid, who prohibited or advised against many potential marriages that are otherwise perfectly acceptable according to halachah. But first some background on the chassidei Ashkenaz.
Who was Rav Shmuel Hachassid?
Rav Yehudah Hachassid’s father, known as Rav Shmuel Hachassid, was a very righteous individual who was a great mekubal, one of the baalei Tosafos, and a highly-respected leader of twelfth century Ashkenazic Jewry. Because of his great levels of righteousness, Rav Shmuel Hachassid was also sometimes called Rav Shmuel Hakadosh or Rav Shmuel Hanavi.

Chanukah: How much is too much? Practical Advice on Giving
Rabbi Levine’s widow speaks with the CJN
(Cleveland Jewish News)
During shiva after the murder of her husband in a terrorist attack on their neighborhood synagogue in Jerusalem Nov. 18, Chaya Levine – formerly Marilyn Markovitz of University Heights – joined the three other women whose husbands had been killed in the attack and sent out an appeal for love and unity between families, communities and all ethnic groups.
“It is so painful, we are all good friends,” Levine, a Hebrew Academy of Cleveland alumna and 1978 graduate of Yavne Academy, told the Cleveland Jewish News after getting up from shiva. “We asked for a Shabbos of unity, to give charity and any acts of kindness people can do.”

Halachos of VeSein Tal U’Matar Livracha by Rabbi Yisroel Dov Webster, Shlita,
(Hakhel)
- If one omitted “VeSein Tal U’Matar Livracha” during the winter months, and remembered while still in middle of the bracha of Bareich Aleinu, before saying the Hashem’s name at the end, he should return to “ VeSein Tal U’Matar Livracha” and continue from there once again.
- If one already said Hashem’s name at the end of the bracha, one does not go back, but rather finishes the bracha and continues until the bracha of Shema Koleinu. In Shema Koleinu, before one says Ki Ata near the end of the bracha one adds the words VeSein Tal U’Matar Livracha (and no further text) and then continues with Ki Ata and concludes the bracha of Shema Koleinu. (Shulchan Aruch (117:5), Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (19:6) and Kaf HaChaim (117:37)). The Aruch HaShulchan (117:6) seems to say that according to some, additional words are added, i.e. “Al Pnei Ha’adama…”, presumably in order to say a complete thought.
