*DAF HASHAVUA 02- 03 2) The בעל התניא was asked as a young child, "Which פסוק ends     with the same 3 words that it begins with"?     His answer was "The פסוק that has no אמת in it."  The last Pasuk in the third Parsha of Krias Shema אֲנִי ה' אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיוֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲנִי ה' אֱלֹהֵיכֶם. Only in the Siddur, does it end with אמת but not in the Torah Hence, The פסוק that has no אמת in it. 3) Rochel & Leah while fasting on the 10th of Teves were both cooking soup for after the fast. Rochel wasn't sure if she added salt to her soup. The Rav told her she may taste the soup if she won't swallow it  Leah wasn't sure if she added pepper to her soup. The Rav told her she may not taste the soup even if she won't swallow it. There is a Machlokes between the Mechaber (Bais Yosef) and the Rema. The B.Y. allows tasting food on a תענית if it is not swallowed. The Rema forbids tasting food on a תענית. The Mishna Verurah writes if one cooks for a סעודת מצוה then we may rely on the B.Y. and one may taste the food on a תענית. The 2 answers a) Rochel is cooking for a סעודת מצוה. Leah is cooking      a  סעודת חול. b) Rochel is a Sephardia who follow the Bais Yosef.     Leah is an Ashkenazia who follow the Rema.
