Aug 14, 2026
1:04:09
May a guest take leftover food home, or does the food remain the property of the host or caterer? May a guest take flowers, centerpieces, decorations, or unopened bottles from the table after the simcha? If someone accepted an invitation but failed to attend, must he reimburse the host for the meal ordered on his behalf? Who owns gifts distributed at the tables—such as bentchers, souvenirs, yarmulkes, or children’s prizes—and may a guest take additional ones for family members? Is there a halachic obligation to attend a wedding, bris, bar mitzvah, or sheva brachos after being invited? When does attending a simcha override one’s regular Torah-learning schedule? Must parents go into debt to make a respectable wedding? Can parents or grandparents use maaser money to pay for their child’s bris, bar mitzvah, or wedding? Does it matter whether they could afford it without maaser? May maaser money be used to pay for a nicer wedding—or only the minimum necessary expenses for someone who cannot afford a wedding? If a wedding is canceled, who bears the loss—the family or the caterer, photographer, band, florist, and hall? Can they keep the deposits? And much more…. with Rabbi Shmuel Fuerst – Rov of Agudas Yisroel in Chicago and world renowned Poseik – 14:43 with Rabbi Chaim Jachter – Rav of Sha’arei Orah in Teaneck, Dayan on the Elizabeth Beis Din – 32:20 מראי מקומות

Why do we rely on leniency these day when the Heter was due to שעת הדחק and we don't have a shortage of food?

Why are Chasidim so lenient - How does a story from the Baal Shem Tov uproot Halacha - even if it's true we go with halacha not stories - we can uproot all the Torah if it's controlled by stories not Halacha?
