#Although normally we try to name a baby girl at an aliya to the Torah, a person doesn't need a minyan in order to name a girl and under the circumstances should do so without delay.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Yo6IJi2V-bw Rav Neventzal], [https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/950292/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-11-krias-shem-for-a-baby-girl/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona Teshuva #11)], [https://vimeo.com/399141271 Rabbi Moshe Heinemann] at about 16:45</ref> | #Although normally we try to name a baby girl at an aliya to the Torah, a person doesn't need a minyan in order to name a girl and under the circumstances should do so without delay.<ref>[https://youtu.be/Yo6IJi2V-bw Rav Neventzal], [https://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/950292/rabbi-hershel-schachter/piskei-corona-11-krias-shem-for-a-baby-girl/ Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona Teshuva #11)], [https://vimeo.com/399141271 Rabbi Moshe Heinemann] at about 16:45</ref> | ||
==[[Pidyon Haben]]== | |||
# In order to do a [[Pidyon Haben]] the father has to give 5 shekalim (of the days of the Torah) to a kohen. If they can meet in a safe way while following all of the social distancing practices they should. If not, then the father should leave the money or equivalent outside his door for a neighbor<ref>Rav Rimon pointed out that using one's wife to acquire the money to someone else is a dispute and should be avoided.</ref> to pick up on behalf of the kohen and that acts as a kinyan for the kohen to acquire the money. Then the father should video the kohen to recite the bracha and the rest of the text for the pidyon haben.<ref>Rav Yosef Tzvi Rimon (teshuva 12 Nissan 5780)</ref> | |||
# The money to be used for the pidyon haben needs to the pidyon haben coins, silver, or any other valuable item which has actual worth. One can not use cash or check for this.<ref>Rav Yosef Tzvi Rimon (teshuva 12 Nissan 5780)</ref> These item collectively need to be worth 100 grams of silver. See the Pidyon Haben page for details. | |||
