Must I Repeat my Tefillah?
By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff
Question #1: First among equals!?
Why is the first beracha of Shemoneh Esrei, which is called Birkas Avos, different from all the other berachos of Shemoneh Esrei?
Question #2: Wanderings of the mind
Mutti Kulis* calls me with the following predicament:
Despite my best intentions, my mind sometimes wanders during davening, although I really wish I could focus always on building my relationship with Hashem. I recently discovered that the Mishnah Berurah rules that someone saying Shemoneh Esrei who realizes that he recited the first beracha without kavanah should refrain from proceeding until the chazzan’s repetition, and be very attentive to the chazzan’s davening. I tried this once, but did not find this solution practical.

Chalav Yisroel Kosher Milk NOT Affected by New WIC Guidelines
In response to several questions from community members:
Ohio’s Women Infants and Children (WIC) program recently issued new guidelines stating that WIC recipients can only purchase store- brand milk. WIC recipients who require Chalav Yisroel Kosher milk (which is not store-brand) will still be able to purchase this milk as they have in the past.
Ohio WIC will be reminding designated stores of the kosher exception to the “store-brand policy”.
Agudath Israel has worked closely with the Ohio WIC office for many years and they have repeatedly showed sensitivity to our communities’ religious dietary needs. We thank them for their prompt attention to this matter.
