The Slippy Tallis Dillema
The Mechaber paskens in S.A. that if your tallis falls off completely then you make a new bracha when putting it back on. The present Chief Sefardic Rabbi, Rav Dovid Yosef, paskens in his [incredible!!] Halacha Brura [volume 1 of 184] that one should NOT make a bracha [despite his father Chacham Ovadiah's (מופת הדור ממש) insistence, in most but not all cases, to follow the Mechaber]!
I mentioned this in shul and someone commented that R' Ben Tzion Abba Shaul says that if your tallis falls off towards the end of davening - don't put it back on to avoid all sfeikos regarding the bracha.
This is a short comment that can and should be expanded.

Not A Friend
"You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have" - JD Vance about the Israelis.
In other words - the Israelis/Jews are just a bunch of thugs who kill indiscriminately.
In light of this and other statements he has made, the conclusion is that this man is NOT our friend. We have to be wary and careful.
