1. When does it begin?

The tax holiday is a one-time event, from 12:01 a.m. Friday, Aug. 7, through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9, both in store and online.

State Sen. Kevin Bacon introduced the legislation in November 2013, and Gov. John Kasich signed it into law in December 2014, but a new state law would have to be passed to extend the promotion beyond 2015.

“The other day, I was finishing Shemoneh Esrei as the chazzan began Kedushah, but I had not yet recited the sentence beginning with the words Yi’he’yu Leratzonwhen the tzibur was already reciting Kodosh, kodosh, kodosh. Should I have answered Kedushah without having first said Yi’he’yu Leratzon?”

 Question #2: A proper ending

“Someone told me that I am not required to say the prayer Elokei Netzor at the end of Shemoneh Esrei. Is this a legitimate practice? Why don’t the siddurim say this?”

1) With all the publicity for Windows 10, and with the anticipation of waiting for Microsoft to get to you with the upgrade files, many people may get an Email purporting to be from Microsoft to do the upgrade. Microsoft is NOT distributing the files via Email.  See a related article here >>  You may be getting a virus that will lock you out of ALL you files!
[There is a legitimate way to get the files needed to upgrade to Windows 10 (‘jump the line’), but that is beyond the scope of this Email.]

2) Microsoft will NEVER call you by telephone to tell you that you have a virus. These scammers are very convincing. As soon as you hear them say that they are from Microsoft (usually in a foreign accent) and that you have a virus, IMMEDIATELY hang up the phone. That’s the beast way to handle this.
