Hints & Answers

HALACHA CHALLENGE: Although putting words together in the game of Scrabble is not included in the actual melacha of Writing, (unless the pieces firmly snap into the frame), it is nevertheless forbidden to play Scrabble on Shabbos. This is due to the decree of "Maybe he will come to writing,” as scrabble is a type of game where the players keep the score and typically write the score down (see Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchosa 16:32).

RHYMES: “new”

RIDDLE: 1. “And the sky that's above your head will be copper..." (Devorim 28:23)

2. “And you should raise your voice and say in front of Hashem: An Aramenian wanted to destroy my father..." (Devorim 26:5, based on Rashi's commentary).

3. You might remember the fish head (as one of the simanim on Rosh Hashana) as you'll read the verse "Hashem will make you a head and not a tail..." (Devorim 28:13)

*Menucha answers are not to be taken as final decisions in halacha.
