Yom Kippur FAQ's / SHC Weekly ~ VaYelech 5777


Q: What should one do if he forgot to say “HaMelech HaMishpat” on Asseret Yeme Teshuva? A: According to Maran[1], if he remembers within three seconds (“Toch Kede Dibbur”), he may say it then. If he remembers after that time, or after starting the next Beracha, he must go back to “Hashiva”. If one only remembers after finishing the Amida, he should repeat the Amida, because the Nussah of “HaMelech HaMishpat” imply that Hashem alone judges his world and not that Hashem loves when the world runs justly – which is the meaning of “Melech ‘Ohev Tzeddaka U’Mishpat”[2]. However, the Ben Ish Hai[3] is concerned about the opinion of the Rama[4] and writes that one should not repeat the Amida. Still, most Poskim[5] follow Maran who requires one to repeat the Amida, as is the opinion of Hacham Ovadia Yosef זצ”ל[6]. In order to take the opinion of the Ben Ish Hai into consideration, Hacham Ovadia and the Ohr L’Tziyon[7] suggest that one who realized he forgot to say “HaMelech HaMishpat” after finishing the Amida, can make a condition when he repeats the Amida, that if he is not required to then the Amida is a Tefillat Nedava. Battle of the Brands Buying and Selling Manufacturing Rights By Dayan Shlomo Cohen, Author of “Pure Money” and Dayan at Ahavat Shalom, Yerushalaim We usually think of buying and selling in regard to tangible items, such as cookies, pens, socks, and cars. Nowadays, though, there is an entire marketplace for intangible items, as well; people buy and sell royalties for a certain product or song, the rights to a specific brand name, the rights to sell an item in a particular region, and even airspace.
