previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1) If one's father or mother has a designated spot
to stand for meetings or for davening, it is forbidden for a
son/daughter to stand in that spot. (See Aruch HaShulchan Yoreh
Deah 240:9)
It is questionable if a father
stands in a certain spot for Shacharis only, if a child may stand in
that spot for Mincha or another Tefilah. A Rav should be consulted for
Halacha L'ma'aseh.
2) A child
may not sit in a place in the home that is designated for a parent to
sit.
Standing
in the place that a parent sits, however, is permitted.
(Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah Siman 240:2)

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 pages on the
Halacha For Today website.
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.
I went to bed early last
night before counting the omer. I wasn't sure if I would get up later
in the night, so I thought to myself that it was day 30, 4 weeks and 2
days of the omer.
I didn't wake up again until the morning, but
then I forgot to count properly. Now it is the next night, am I able to
resume counting with a bracha or not?
Answer:
Once the entire day passed without you counting,
and it is already the next night, you can no longer count with a
bracha. "thinking" the sefirah does not suffice.
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. (Talmud
Niddah 73a)
