Sukkos Trivia -Esrogim Murkavim

How is it possible to have the same branch of a tree to have produced last year Esrogim Murkavim , and the following year it produces non Murkovim Kosher Esrogim ?

Standing During Pesicha

לזכר נשמת ר' יצחק עמרם אליהו בן ר'אברהם אשי זצ"ל                    

יום השנה, יום ב' דראש השנה                                                                

The Taz (Y.D. 242 : 13) writes “ it is not necessary to stand up when the Aron Hakodesh

Is opened.  People who do so, do it  for the Kavod of the Sifrei Torah.

The Chasam Sofer (C.M. 73) writes , someone who is suspect to swear a false oath, in order

to scare him you may not force him to lay down in a casket and make the Shevua (oath).

One of  the reasons is because you need to stand when the* the Aron Hakodesh is open.

*They used to open the Aron Hakodesh and light black candles, so to scare them not

to make a false oath.
