Leah bas Yechezkel A"H
whose yahrtzeit is today, 30 Shvat (Rosh Chodesh Adar). May her Neshama continue to climb higher and higher in Gan Eden and may she be a Meilitza Yeshara for her entire family.
CURRENT TOPIC:
HALACHOS OF CHODESH ADAR & PURIM
1) If someone's personal minhag is not to say Yotzros and he finds himself in a Shul that says them, he should not be "Poresh Min HaTzibur, deviate from the congregation" and he should say it along with them. (See Rama Siman 68 and Siman 90:10)
If for whatever reason one is not saying them, he should just wait silently while they are said by the congregation and not talk , even words of Torah, and certainly not make light of these extremely exalted Tefilos which contain in them great praises of Hashem as well as many wondrously holy and deep Kabalistic concepts. (See Kav HaYashar Perek 86)
2) These Tefilos should be said clearly, with extreme Simcha and concentration, and should not be said as if it is a burden to say them. Many of these Tefilos were authored by holy Tanaim, Geonim and Rishonim with the input and advice of heavenly angels. (ibid.)
Saying these Tefilos are a Segulah for Arichas Yamim (long life), and those whose familial or congregational minhag it is to say them, and they don't, place themselves in danger. (See Kav HaYashar ibid., Bach Siman 68 Dibur Hamaschil UMah Shekasav Amnam and Shu"t Bais Hillel Siman 71. See also Pri Megadim;Mishbetzos Zahav, Siman 53:10 that saying these Tefilos are a Segulah to bring our as yet irreligious brethren closer to Hashem)

Reader's Question:
What are the various times during the day or night that are an Eis Ratzon (opportune time) for personal prayers?
Answer:
There are many days throughout the year that are especially times of ratzon, such as Aseres Yemei Teshuva.
However, Tefilas Mincha, each and every day of the year is an especially opportune time for our Tefilos to be answered. (See Shu"t HaRashba Vol. 5 Siman 1)

זכר צדיקים וקדושים לברכה
Bless your fellow Jews and you'll be blessed.
What does that mean?
When you see a man in the street who looks like a frum Jew, you don't have to go over to him.
As you pass across the street, say "Hashem should give that man success in Parnassa (livelihood)! He should have nachas (pride) from his children! He should live long!"
It cost you money? It doesn't cost you a penny!
And it's such a good investment that you're promised a bracha. It seems so wild, so insane, to lose that opportunity, to bless your fellow Jew.
