4 Sholosh Seudot You Gotta be Kiddin Me Halacha Discussion Each week the Rabbi presents a Halacha question based on the Parsha and everyone discusses the various issues. In the end, the Rabbi reveals the answer. Very unusual questions, very interesting discussions.. This week s question: A Shidduch was suggested to a young man. After several meetings, the couple seemed interested in getting engaged. The girl s father agreed to the match, but only on the condition that he could first inspect the young man s handwriting. Since the woman s father is a graphologist he believed that the handwriting of a person can reveal the personality of the person. The young man agreed and submitted a sample of his handwriting. All was fine and the couple became engaged. The day before the engagement party the young man went to his Rabbi and revealed that he had submitted the handwriting of his friend, rather than his own. His question: Does he have to reveal the deception to the girl s father and risk having the engagement broken? Kosher Wine Most of us think of Kosher wine as being the traditional sweet syrupy concord wine. This is not the case with Tzafona Cellars. Tzafona wine isfantastic product, comparable to the fine wines of the world, both kosher and non-kosher. All of Tzafona Cellars wines are produced under the supervision of the COR, and Mehadrin Toronto - Rav Shalom Hirsch Adler. In the ancient hebrew tongue, Tzafona means northward. Look northward for this elegant expression of a unique appellation Tzafona is launching at the LCBO! Come by for a pre-purim visit and a tasting: March 22 from 4 8 pm Store #523 (Promenade Mall) - from 4-8pm **A percentage of pre-purim sales from these wines, sold though the Promenade LCBO, will be donated to the ATCS.
