How Quickly Do I Need To Respond To A Hazmana


Question: Reuven received a hazmanah to a din Torah and needs time to prepare his case. How long can he expect to be granted by the Bais Din?

Rav Dovid Josilowsky


Answer: Although the Gemara says that the Din Torah is to be scheduled for the day after the hazmanah is delivered, the Meiri explains that he is given enough time to come to bais din without feeling rushed and overwhelmed. The Rema writes that he is given three days. 


The Rashba adds that if someone asks for more time, it is up to the discretion of bais din to decide if the extension should be granted. If they see that he is simply stalling as a tactic or for other nefarious reasons, they should not grant the extension. But if they are reasonably convinced that he needs time to prepare his case, they should grant the extension, as this will lead to a more truthful outcome. 


In today's batei din, the case almost never begins right after the hazmanah is sent and both sides are usually given ample time to prepare.

WILDFIRES UPDATE

Dear Chana,

We are just following up to keep you updated on the emergency situation unfolding near Jerusalem. The wildfires continue to rage out of control, we have a long night ahead. The fires erupted earlier today in at least five different locations, and while the exact cause has not been officially confirmed, some reports now indicate that Palestinians ignited these fires on land adjacent to Jewish farms. What is clear is that this crisis is escalating fast—stoked by scorching heat and fierce winds that are driving the fires deeper into populated areas.

So far, approximately 3,000 acres have been scorched. Over 160 firefighting crews and 12 aircraft are battling to contain the fire fronts surrounding Jerusalem. Zaka Tel-Aviv teams are on the ground, working alongside first responders to help evacuate residents, provide urgent medical support, and assist in any way possible to protect lives. Our volunteers are confronting unimaginable heat and danger, yet they remain focused on the mission: to bring people to safety and offer compassionate care amid the chaos.

This is a moment where every second—and every act of generosity—matters. Your donation directly supports our emergency response: fueling vehicles, supplying lifesaving equipment, and allowing us to respond instantly to shifting threats on the ground.

Shadow

In times like these, we are reminded of the strength of unity and compassion. By standing with Zaka Tel-Aviv today, you are part of a dedicated force saving lives and restoring dignity in the darkest of moments.

Thank you for being with us.

Our Students: Past and Present

HTC is proud of our students, past and present! Take a look at this month's spotlighted student and alumnus.

Alumnus Name: Shneur Nathan


Class: FYHS Class of 2002


Where do you live: Plainview, NY


Tell us about your family: I'm married to Stephanie and have three boys - Naftali (16), Shmuel (12), and Yoni (10). 


What is your profession: I'm a trial lawyer and co-managing partner at Nathan & Kamionski LLP. We litigate cases around the country from offices in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and Long Island. Some people may be surprised to learn that I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but it's similar to the Chess match that happens in court. I'm also the proud Vice President of my shul, Young Israel of Plainview.


What is your favorite memory from FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

Rabbi Twerski was Skokie Yeshiva for me. He was exactly what I needed for that time in my life. He is pure, honest, and famously brilliant. He represented authentic Judaism to me as a teen, young adult, and today. On our first day he said to the class, "I'll be your Rebbe if you'll be a Talmid." That challenge changed my life. I'm forever grateful for my time learning from him.


A lesson/takeaway from your time at FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

I loved how they allowed you to be yourself and not push you to be something else. As I Look back at the Rabbis at the Yeshiva I realize just how genuine the hanhala was and how lucky I was to benefit from their sincerity and devotion. I have a lot of hakarat hatov to the Yeshiva for everything they did for me. 



What advice do you have for current students:

Embrace your relationships with peers and rabbeim today and at all times; they carry you through the rest of your life.

Student Name: Levi Altschul



Grade: 10th Grade, Class of 2027


Shiur: Rabbi Babad's Shiur


Favorite Class: Mr. Genic's Math Class


What Career are you Interested in Pursuing: I don't know for sure yet but I'm thinking maybe Engineering


Best memory at FYHS so far: For me, it's a very recent memory. Going to Sarachek and having an amazing time. Definitely in the top 1% of my FYHS memories so far.


Best part of the Yeshiva: The best part is the vibe. The ruach and achdus is incredible!
