[5] One who wants to eat within the half-hour before alos hashachar should eat less than a kebeitzah (less than 2.2 ounces) of bread or mezonos. Eating fruit or drinking is permitted.[6] A woman may eat bread or mezonos within the half-hour before alos hashachar.[7] Once alos hashachar arrives one may generally not eat or drink, unless he is weak and it is needed for davening.

There is also a vast array of halachic issues which apply to chocolate. Is one allowed to drink hot chocolate before davening? What beracha is made on chocolate? Is a beracha achrona recited on hot cocoa? What beracha is made on chocolate covered products, such as chocolate covered raisins? How is a chocolate machine kashered? Does bishul akum apply to chocolate? These questions as well as others will be answered at length in this article. Read Article 4) Posted Oct 14 2010 Halachically Speaking: The Halachos of Chodosh (Volume 5 Issue 2) By Authored by Moishe Dovid Lebovits, Reviewed by Rabbi Ben-zion Schiffenbauer Shlita When one passes by a store he may see a sign which states "we only use yoshon flour (not chodosh)." On many commercial products it states that yoshon flour is used. What is yoshon and chodosh, and are we required to keep it? Is there a difference between Eretz Yisroel and Chutz L'aretz? If the wheat is produced by a non-Jewish owner is the halacha different? In this article we will explore all these questions and much more. Read Article 5) Posted Sep 02 2010 Halachically Speaking: Cholov Stam and Cholov Yisroel (Volume 5 Issue 6) By Authored by Moishe Dovid Lebovits, Reviewed by Rabbi Ben-zion Schiffenbauer Shlita One of the most common areas of halacha which people have different customs is in regard to drinking cholov stam. What is cholov stam? How is cholov Yisroel made? Do government regulations permit the drinking of non-Jewish milk? Do those who are stringent have to be concerned when a product is made on dairy equipment? Does a married woman have to follow her husband's custom? In this issue we will discuss the many halachos which apply to this topic. Read Article 6) Posted Aug 11 2010 Halachically Speaking: Food in the Hands of a Non-Jew (Volume 6, Issue 6) By Compiled by Rabbi Moishe Dovid Lebovits and Reviewed by Rabbi Ben-zion Schiffenbauer, Shlita There are many halachos which apply to leaving food in the hands of a non-Jew. Is there a difference between sending food in the hands of a non-Jew and basar shenisalem min ha'ayin? Which foods does this halacha apply to? Does this issue always apply or only in certain situations? Is it permitted to allow a non-Jew to make a delivery of food? May one send his non-Jewish employee shopping? Many stores get deliveries of bread in the morning in unsealed boxes. Is this permitted? Can Italian bread be sent to a store with the top of the bag opened? May one leave a sandwich unattended when on an airplane? These issues and much more will be addressed in this issue. Read Article 7) Posted Jul 15 2010 Halachically Speaking: Worms in Fish - The Recent Tumult (Volume 6, Issue 9) By Compiled by Rabbi Moishe Dovid Lebovits and Reviewed by Rabbi Ben-zion Schiffenbauer, Shlita This article is intended for limud haTorah purposes and is not to be relied upon halacha l'maseh.
