Great question! This has definitely been discussed in Jewish medical ethics sources. I think I even remember some of it! :p ...I will check my notes and see if I can find some solid references before starting to write a real answer. If you have any relatively modern JME book (Bleich, Tatz, Weiss...re... (more) |

There is a link (automatically generated?) in @AA's comment, above, which refers to a (nonexistent) passage in Shulchan Aruch rather than Igros Moshe. To benefit the next person who might click on the link in the hopes of viewing the cited source, [here](https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=916&... (more) |

Thank you. Shame about the typo, but I suppose it works as a kind of a crude signature :) ...I think I looked at last week's Shabbos Shorts, which is significantly longer than my own shul's weekly newsletter :p (more) |

I found the quote (https://youtu.be/jHkL1y2ZJZ4?t=1786) and suggested the edit. It appears that Rabbi Glatt is quoting "poskim" for that. The _next_ thing that he said (about the toke'ah blowing from a different room) was something that he attributed to Rabbi Willig. In case this question is specific... (more) |

I have heard from reliable rabbis* that it is okay as long as it does not change the sound of the shofar. Muffling the sound is okay. (*but I do not have sources for this) (more) |

@AA Rav Chaim Kanievsky says that zippers (רוכסן) and "סקוטש" (Velcro??) is considered like tying, and one should tie the left first. (דעת נוטה עמ' סו, cited in Dirshu Mishna Brura 2ed.) (Even though MB #6 writes that there is no need to tie the left first when putting on felt socks (אנפילאות של לבד)... (more) |

A: Custom Community Name? Spinning off my comment into a new answer (incorporating input from Isaac and AA): I love Isaac Moses' ideas, especially the reference that he made with "Chaverai," but I think that a word that refers to a group is better than "my (sing.) friends." Therefore: "Chevraya" (Aramaic חברייא, litera... (more) |

I love these ideas! Especially OChavrusa 😂. I like the reference you make with Chaverai, but my feeling is that a word with group meaning > "my (sing.) friends." ...what do you think about the Aramaic "Chevraya"? Kind of like a modern Hebrew Chevreh, close enough in meaning to Chaburah = group that l... (more) |

A: Can a woman blow the shofar during Elul for herself? Can anyone? According to the views cited in the Dirshu Mishna Brura[^1]: if one is praying without a minyan, there is no need to blow shofar. It is (apparently) a custom for a community, not for individuals. (more) |
