Question

I am just wondering; my wife had a C-Section and Baruch Hashem I had my first son. I was informed that I did not need to do a Pidyon Haben; however does my son have the same status when it comes to the Fast for the First born for Pesach?

Answer

The status of first born in regard to fasting does not depend on the requirement of Pidyon. Your son is a Bechor. (See Shulchan Oruch OH 470)

Sukkot stories

"Rabbi Alnekaveh told a story he heard once from an etrog-seller who used to bring Rav Eliyahu etrogim to check: "It is well-known that Rab Eliyahu could look at an etrog for mere seconds and immediately discern its advantages and defects..."

Parashat “Shema” and Parashat “Vehaya Im Shamoa”

Parashiot Shema Israel and Vehaya im shamoa contain the indispensable principles of the special nature of living in the Land of Israel. Therefore, Moshe teaches the people of Israel these Parashiot at the threshold of The Promised Land.

A Community Coin

The Sin of the Golden Calf is rectified by the communal service in the Holy Temple. This is achieved via the precept of the half-shekel offering.

The Spirit of Community
