The volume of special and non-special fruits DO combine for the after-blessing if:

• They are considered to be one food, AND
• The main component is the Special Fruit.

Say birkat ha'mazon as a mezuman if:

• You don't have enough men for a minyan (see above), AND
• Two men wash, said ha'motzi, and ate bread, AND
• One or more other men ate any food other than water and salt.

To be able to say the special blessings after a festive sheva brachot meal, there must be present at least:

• 10 Jewish males at least 13 years old, and
• One person (male or female) who was not present at the wedding or at

  any meals since then with the bride and groom.

 

When kashering an oven or utensils for Passover, you may kasher:

• By Libun

• By Hag'ala

 

If there is not enough wine (or grape juice) for Jewish festival (or Shabbat) kiddush and havdala:

• Set aside the first cup for havdala.  Then, if there is one more cup,
• Use it for the morning kiddush.

Less than 1/48th missing is still considered a whole loaf. So if you only have two challot (or other loaves of bread) for Shabbat, you might be able to use one loaf twice, as follows:

• Wash your hands,
• Say ha'motzi,
• Cut off a piece that is less than 1/48th of the loaf, and
• Eat it.

REASON You may consider the remainder of that loaf as still being a full loaf and you may re-use it for your Shabbat morning meal.
NOTE If you have pieces of bread or other mezonot, you may:

• Cut off less than 1/48th of the loaf,
• Eat the additional pieces of bread to make a total of at least 1.9 fl. oz. (56ml), and then
• Re-use the same loaf for Shabbat morning.

The presence of insects on fruits, vegetables, grains, etc., depends on season, location, crop type, year, and current conditions in the growing area. If more than one bug is usually found in 10 servings, you must wash or soak (preferably in salt water or soapy water) all of the food and carefully check a quantity equal to three servings. You may check the food or the water in which the food was soaked, if such soaking will remove the bugs.
If you do not find any bugs by this procedure, you may use all of the other (uninspected) food.
If you find even one bug, you must either check each piece of vegetable OR soak (preferably in salt water or soapy water) or rinse the entire batch. Then check three more servings and continue until no bugs have been found after one cycle of washing and inspecting.

Honoring your father and mother—the fifth of the Ten Commandments—heads the mishna's list of mitzvot for which you receive reward in this world as well as in the next. It is one of only two mitzvot for which long life is promised (the other is shilu'ach ha'kein—shooing away a wild mother bird before taking her eggs).
This mitzva especially refers to giving your parents food and drink as well as helping them get dressed, get covered, and go out and in.  But it also includes: 

• Not sitting in your father's chair.
• Not calling your parents by their first names.
• Not disagreeing with, not correcting, or not contradicting your parents if doing so will upset them.
• Agreeing with them by taking sides in an argument (doing so is considered disrespectful since they do not need your agreement).
• Not waking them up when they are sleeping--unless they would want you to do so. 

Whatever applies to fathers also applies to mothers, such as not sitting in the parent's chair. 
All parents—whether biological or adoptive, Jewish or non-Jewish—must be treated well, acknowledging the good they did for the child (hakarat ha'tov). If any parent opposes the observance of Jewish laws, the child should limit contact with the parent.

You may not wear clothing made by combing/felting, spinning, and/or twisting/weaving lamb's or sheep's wool with linen. You may also not wear a garment made of two pieces—one wool and one linen—that have been sewn together. Even one thread of wool or linen with the other material is forbidden (there is not batel in 1/60th for sha'atnez).

The minimum amount of water to remove tum'a (ritual impurity) is 3.3 fl. oz. (99 ml, or 1 revi'it) total, for both hands.

Hot, clean, dry utensils of opposite genders, even if touching each other, both remain kosher.
Hot, clean, wet utensils of opposite genders touching each other are both not kosher. 
SITUATION One of the utensils had not been used in less than 24 hours before the contact.
STATUS That unused utensil becomes not kosher. However, even if the other utensil had been used in less than 24 hours before the contact, it remains kosher.

 

Challa refers to the two loaves of bread (or matza) over which we say the ha'motzi blessing at Shabbat and Jewish festival meals.
The loaves must be:

• Whole, without significant parts missing.
• Made out of one or more of the Five Grains.

Rosh Hashana is the beginning of the Jewish calendar year (there are three other dates that begin other aspects of the Jewish year).
Rosh Hashana is observed for two days, which are considered to be one continuous day. In Temple times, a cohen would offer a sacrifice but might not know until the following evening, after the new moon had been seen (or not), whether he had offered the Rosh Hashana offering.
Rosh Hashana focuses on the idea of God as King and of our relationship as Jews to that King.

Less than 1/48th missing is still considered a whole loaf. So if you only have two challot (or other loaves of bread) for a Jewish festival, you might be able to use one loaf twice:

• Wash your hands,
• Say ha'motzi,
• Cut off a piece that is less than 1/48th of the loaf, and
• Eat it.
