What's the Inyan of kissing the rocks of Eretz Yisroel? What are the 4 types of kisses? What about all other Mitzvos like Sukkah, Lulav, Esrog, Matzah Maror etc? Is it OK to smell or kiss an Esrog on Sukkos? Story of R Yaakov Tzemach. A Segulah to remember your learning. Is one allowed to use a Sefer for benefit? Kiss or touch the Mezuzah? Should one hold their Tzitzis during Shema?- Is kissing your Tefillin / Tzitzis during Tefilah a Hefsek? Shiur sponsored by the Engel family in honor of Rabbi Mendy Engel's birthday
