Question
According to Halacha, it is permissible for Jews to recite havdalah early before Shabbat ends (although it’s recommend to do so in extenuating circumstances). My question is, does the same rule apply to Yom tov?

Question
In Halacha there is a mitzvah for a husband to give his wife a gift, especially clothes, on Yom Tov. My question is, can a husband fulfill this mitzvah with regifting his wife something he had been given previously. Or does he have an obligation to buy it himself to fulfill the commandment?

Question
Dear Rabbi, I heard that this week is a Jewish holiday called “Tu B’Shevat – New Year for the Trees.” Would you explain the message of this holiday for us today? Thanks.

Question
Can a Jew recite the blessings if the Hanukkah candles were lit by a non-Jew? (Specifically, a non-Jew lit the shamash, and then a Jew took the shamash from him and lit the Hanukkah candles from it). My point is not whether a non-Jew can light the Hanukkah candles (being in the process of conversion, without blessings or just for fun). My point is whether a Jew can recite the appropriate blessings over such a candle - lit by a Gentile. It seems to me that this is not permitted. (Nor is it about a situation in which, say, a disabled Jew has only a non-Jewish caregiver to assist him, and if that non-Jew doesn't light a candle for him, performing the mitzvah is not possible).

Question
According to Halacha, is there any preference for having already used variations of arba minim species with a mesorah of being used, even if a newly discovered variation otherwise has kosher signs? Do any poskim hold this?

Question
Can we start lighting the Hannuka candles from inbetween the 8 days? Also, if for some reason, a day was skipped without lighting the Hannuka, can we continue lighting the Hannuka??   What is the halacha in this regards?

Question
There are certain things which Halacha prohibits to do in front of certain things because of Kedushah. You can’t for example be naked or have sex in front of an exposed visible sefer or mezuzah. You can’t bring sefarim or teffilin into the restroom. So what’s the Halacha about a menorah on Hanukah? Can you get changed, have sex in front of, bring into the restroom etc? Do any rabbis speak against this? Sources please
