A couple of questions

Question

Rabbi Abadi: I have a couple of questions for you: -If I make a mistake in my pronunciation of a word during kriat shema or shemone esre, should I repeat that word or just go ahead? -What is the status of an arel that sincerely wants to get a mila but is momentarily unable to do so because of extenuating circunstances? -What is the status of someone who has not been successful in proving his Jewish identity because the rabbis have refused to investigate on it? -What is the status of someone who does not know whether he is cohen, levi, or israel? Thank you

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

1) Repeat the word. 2) In what respect? 3) Let him do it on his own or with friends. 4) Let him assume he is a Yisrael. AA
