Halacha - Ancestry | Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | Question: | Answer:
You should continue following the customs your father and
grandfather observed. The essence of a Minhag is continuing one’s parent’s
practices; as no one can know with certainty what was the “original” Minhag.

Halacha - Chanukah Gifts | Submitted by Yaakov Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | Question: | Answer: There doesn't seem to be any source for gifts. Nitei Gavriel quotes a number of Chassidishe Rebbes who gave Chanuka Gelt, but the Minhag is not mentioned in Bnei Yissoschar and seems to be of more recent origin.

Halacha - break in seuda | Submitted by martin Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | Question: | Answer:
First of all, assuming you are Ashkenazi and had already eaten a kzayis of bread before stepping outside, you do not need to make a new Beracha when you continue your meal.
Regarding washing, if you only went out of the house for a moment and intended to return, you do not need to wash again. However, if there was a prolonged delay and you were completely distracted from maintaining the cleanliness of your hand, the Biur Halacha writes that you are required to wash a second time and recite a new Beracha of Al Netilas Yadayim.

Halacha - tefilin | Submitted by yossi Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | Question: | Answer:
The Mishna Berura 25§14 writes that even though the Gemara calls someone who Davens without Tefilin מעיד עדות שקר בעצמו, this only refers to someone who did so out of negligence and laziness. However, someone who did not have access to Tefillin at the proper time certainly should not delay reciting Kriyas Shema at the proper time.
