1) After eating, a more prominent Bracha Achrona takes precedence over a less prominent one. Thus, whenever two or more Brachos Achronos are required, they should be done in the following order: a) Birchas HaMazon (after eating bread) b) Al Hamichya (after eating foods of the 5 grains, besides bread) c) Al HaGefen (after drinking wine/grape juice) d) Al Ha'aitz (after eating one of the Shivas Haminim fruits) e) Borei Nefashos (after everything else that doesn't fall into one of the aforementioned categories) (Pri Megadim in his introduction to Hilchos Brachos S"K 10 quoted in the Biur Halacha to Siman 202:11 Dibur Hamaschil Bracha. See also Igros Moshe Orach Chaim Vol. 5 Siman 20:13 and Shu"t Be'er Moshe Vol. 5 Siman 1:37) 2) In Halacha there is a concept of "Tadir V'She'aino Tadir,Tadir Kodem". This basically means that whenever you are presented with doing two Mitzvos or reciting two Brachos, the one that is done more often, takes precedence. (This is a very complicated topic, with certain exceptions and many details, which is beyond the scope of this forum)
Therefore, when one is required to recite "Asher Yatzar" after having used the restroom and is also required to recite "Borei Nefashos" or "Birchas HaMazon" after having eaten food, the Asher Yatzar goes first. (See Mogen Avraham Siman 165:3, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 165:2, Aruch HaShulchan 165:2 and Mishna Berura Siman 7:2)
QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER:
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A page on the Halacha For Todaywebsite.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
What is that Halacha about moving in to a new apartment during the 3 weeks (It had been rented earlier)?
Answer:
Until Rosh Chodesh Av it is permissible. from Rosh Chodesh Av until aftr Tisha B'Av (The nine days) it is more problematic, and a Rav should be consulted.
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות אלא הלכות - one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in Olam Haba - the world to come. (:מגילה כ"ח )
