This is because the use of an umbrella is considered to be a violation of the melacha of “boneh”, the prohibition of erecting any type of tent, structure, or protective covering. In fact, the use of an umbrella might even be a violation of a number of other Shabbat prohibitions, as well. An umbrella DAVENING EARLY ON SHAVUOT Rav Zolty ztl (Mishnat Yaavetz) has an interesting discussion of shavuot versus shemini atzeret vis-a-vis an early kiddush. practically, the earliest time for tzait that is widely available is often given as Rav Tukitzinsky’s time for ending a Rabbinic fast.RABBI FRAND

The sotah ceremony reveals whether the woman is culpable and distanced from Gd and life, or innocent and slated for the boon of a pregnancy, the kohanim prompt us to see Gd’s Presence and aid, the nazir puts him/herself at a higher level of relationship than usual KORACH: SECOND ALIYAH 1 day ago · by R.
