Berachos - Simanim Previous Simanim Review Berachos - Simanim Previous Simanim Review Daf 2 1. Krias Shema at Night The opening Mishna discusses the time to recite Krias Shema at night. 2. Time Kohen Can Eat Terumah A Kohen who was a tevul yom (he was tamei and went to the mikvah earlier in the day) can begin to eat his terumah at tzais, and does not have to wait until the next day until after he brings a korban. 3. Six Opinions For Earliest Time for Shema The Gemara introduces six opinions regarding the earliest time to recite Shema at night. One of them is when a poor person begins to eat his dinner. Siman – House A man rushes into his house exactly at Tzais to recite the evening Krias Shema so he can join the Kohen and poor person who just sat down in the dining room to eat their terumah and dinner respectively. Daf 3 1. Three Heavenly Watches Rabbi Eliezer identifies the end time for Krias Shema as the end of the first mishmar (watch), to teach us that there are three heavenly watches in the evening when Hashem roars like a lion, lamenting that the sins of His children caused the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash and their exile. 2. Entering a Ruin Three reasons one may not enter a churvah (ruin): a. suspicion of inappropriate behavior b. the danger of collapse c. the danger of harmful mazikin found there 3. Dovid HaMelech’s Harp The northern wind would blow across Dovid Hamelech’s harp exactly at midnight, upon which he would wake up and sing Hashem’s praises for the rest of the night. Siman - Camel Three watchmen on camels enter a dangerous ruin when they hear music and discover a man playing harp. 1 Berachos - Simanim Daf 4 חכצ ו ת .1 instead of giving the exact time, so the Egyptians would not question Hashem’s חכצ ו ת Moshe said precision when carrying out makos bechoros. ךוסמ הלואג הליפתל הלילב .2 ,at night. If it is required ךוסמ הלואג הליפתל There is a machlokes whether one is required to be . אג ו הל רא י אתכ is considered שה כ י ב נ ונביכש 3. Ashrei 3x One who says Ashrei three times a day is guaranteed a place in Olam Haba because: a. One is using all the letters in aleph-beis to praise Hashem. (Except the letter nun) חופת תא ךדי b. It includes the passuk of Siman - Door There was a massive door at the front of the shul that had a big clock and when the clock struck .at Maariv ךוסמ הלואג הליפתל midnight it would flash Ashrei three times to remind the minyan to be 2 Berachos - Simanim Daf 5 רק י תא עמש לע הטמה .1 is likened to one who holds a double edged sword to slay רק י תא עמש לע הטמה One who recites mazikin. 2. Three good gifts acquired through yisurin. In the midst of the sugya of yisurin, it is taught that HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave three good gifts to klal Yisroel which all have to be acquired through yisurin; Torah, eretz Yisroel, and Olam Haba. 3. Freeing oneself from one’s own prison. We learn that a person cannot free himself from his own prison from the fact that R’ Yochanan needed someone to heal him even though he had the capacity to heal others. יא ן שובח ריתמ ומצע תיבמ םירוסאה - Siman - Hay with one hand while holding a רק י תא עמש לע הטמה A sick person sitting up on a bed of hay saying sword with the other is visited by a Rabbi holding three gifts who has come to heal him. Siman - Hay with one hand while holding a רק י תא עמש לע הטמה A sick person sitting up on a bed of hay saying sword with the other is visited by a Rabbi holding three gifts who has come to heal him. ,good gifts, freeing from prison 3 , 'קש לע הטמה – Key Words 3 Berachos - Simanim Daf 6 1. Makom Kavua One who has a set place for davening is considered a talmid of Avraham Avinu and will receive similar help from Hashem. 2. Hashem’s Tefillin . ימ .ךמעכ . Hashem wears tefillin with parshios that proclaim the uniqueness of klal Yisroel, such as 3. Being misameah a Choson לוק ושש ן לוקו ) . תולוק violates five חמשמ תח ן One who benefits from a wedding banquet without being .”then he merits the Torah which was given with five “sounds , תח ן If he does gladden the ( החמש . ...המ Siman - Sword next to a very special pair of tefillin and קמ ו ם בק ו ע A person takes out a sword that was in his תולוק dances with it to be mesameach a choson so he merits the Torah and not violate the five Key Words – makom kavua, Hashem’s tefillin, mesameach choson. 4 Berachos - Simanim Daf 7 1. Bilaam knows moment Hashem gets angry a) עגר Bilaam knew the exact moment when HaKadosh Baruch Hu gets angry everyday which lasts a moment). Rabbi Yehoshua knew it was when the rooster’s comb turns pale and stands on one foot. 2. Tzadik v’ra lo Moshe requested after the chet ha’egel to understand tzaddik v’ra lo v’rasha v’tov lo, why bad occurs to the righteous and why the evil often prosper. 3. Greater is serving a Talmud Chochom than learning from him We learn from the fact that Elisha’s relationship to Eliyahu is characterized by his pouring water on his Rebbe’s hands that attending to a Talmud Chochom is greater than learning from him. דג ו הל השומש לש ות הר י רתו ומלמ הד - Siman - Gun A rasha has his sniper gun poised over a rooster standing on one foot so he can calculate the right time to shoot a Tzadik off in the distance whose talmid is washing his Rebbe’s hands. (He misses). השומיש ,Key Words – Angry, tzadik v’ra lo 5 Berachos - Simanim Daf 8 1. Tefillos that require a timely response Things that a person should daven for that require a timely response: a. a good wife b. Torah c. an easy death d. a burial e. a nearby bathroom Regarding this let every“ ,” לע תאז ללפתי לכ דיסח לא ךי תעל אצמ “ ,This is learned from the passuk devout man pray to You: at the time [needed] a finding.” (Psalms 32:6) 2. Hashem resides now in the 4 amos of Halacha. Since the time of the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, Hashem only has the four amos of Halachah ( ימ םו ברחש תיב שדקמה יא ן ה'בקהל ועב ומל אלא עברא תומא לש הכלה ) .in His world נש י ם ארקמ ו דחא גרת ו ם .3 נש י ם ארקמ ו דחא גרת ו ם One should always complete the weekly Parsha with the congregation reading (reading twice in Hebrew and the Targum once). One who does so merits that his days and years are prolonged. Siman - Challah Bochurim are standing around a massive four-amah-long segula challah and are inserting tefillos for a good shidduch written in both Hebrew and Aramaic. Key Words – timely response, dalet amos, shnayim mikroh 6 Daf 9 1. Latest time to eat the Korban Pesach There is a machlokes whether the korban Pesach must be eaten before chatzos or until the that is mentioned ( תעש פח ז ו ן ) ,morning. The machlokes is based on whether the time of haste with regards to the time of eating the Korban Pesach, is referring to the haste of the Egyptians to free bnei Yisroel, which occurred at night, or the haste of bnei Yisroel to leave, which was in the morning. 2. Earliest time to recite Krias Shema in the morning The Mishnah discusses the proper time to recite Krias Shema in the morning; the Gemara .a friend at a distance of four amos ישמ( כ י ר ) concludes it is when one can recognize 3. Greeting a king One should always try to greet a Jewish king. Even greeting a non-Jewish king is valuable so in Olam Haba will be able to better appreciate the kavod given to a Jewish king. Siman - Teapot The person quickly pouring tea for the group eating their korbon Pesach at midnight, suddenly sees his friend four amos away wearing a souvenir crown he bought at the parade to greet the King. Key Words – Korbon Pesach, morning Shema, greeting king 7 Daf 10 1. The neshama is similar to Hashem in five ways that the neshamah is ” כרב י נ ישפ ” We learn from the five times that Dovid HaMelech stated comparable to HaKadosh Baruch Hu in five ways. רדח י Just as Hashem fills the world, sustains it, sees but is not seen, is tahor and resides in - .the hidden chambers), so too the neshama in its relationship to the body) רדח י ם ד 2. Never give up hope A person should never give up hope no matter how dire a situation seems. Even if a sword is placed upon his neck, one should never refrain from praying for mercy. וליפא ברח הדח ומ תחנ לע וראוצ לש םדא לא נמי י ומצע ןמ םימחרה - This was learned from Chizkiyahu HaMelech who prayed for his health even though Yeshaya HaNavi had told him he was going to die and lose his portion in Olam Haba for not getting married and procreating. 3. Do not eat before davening Shacharis you may not eat“ , ל"א ולכאת לע "םדה One should not eat before he davens.

  • A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger's View of Opening A
    A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat A Note Regarding Dayan Simcha Zelig Rieger’s View of Opening a Refrigerator Door on Shabbat Rabbi Michael J. Broyde Introduction Thank you to Rabbi Yaacov Sasson for his comments on footnote 59 of the article “The Use of Electricity on Shabbat and Yom Tov” found in the Journal of Halacha and Contemporary Society, 21:4-47 (Spring 1991) co-written by Rabbi Jachter and myself. It is always nice to have people commenting on articles written more than 25 years ago.[1] Before delving into the halacha, it is worth clarifying some preliminary facts – in particular, whether refrigerators even had automatic lights during the first half of the 1930s. Some commenters have suggested that such lights were not yet present, or that they were limited to rare and expensive refrigerators. This is not correct. I reproduce below a wide variety of newspaper ads from the early 1930s that show that a range of refrigerator models by many manufacturers at various price points featured automatic interior lights (see attachments here). These include a Frigidaire priced at $157.50, a GE priced at $99.50, a Majestic model with no price, a Frigidaire priced at $119.50, a Leonard priced at $114.75 and many more.[2] And while some of the publications appear targeted to the upper class, many others are clearly meant for wider audiences – particularly those available on installment plans (“$5 down, 15¢ a day”; “Nothing down! 20¢ a day!”; “$7 Initial Payment – enables you to enjoy any of these refrigerators immediately.

  • Introducing Siddur Sim Shalom
    Introducing Siddur Sim Shalom Jules Harlow Any authentic Jewish prayerbook has its roots in the biblical and rabbinic texts which constitute the core of every service. Passages from the Torah, from Psalms and from the Prophets, among other biblical sources, were arranged for prayer by the ancient Rabbis of the first to the sixth centuries who also contributed their own liturgical formulations. These two elements—biblical and rabbinic—continue to sustain and inspire us as the basic texts of Jewish prayer, together with additions and modifications which have been made throughout the centuries. The two oldest versions of the prayerbook that we know (arranged by Rav Amram Gaon of ninth-century Babylonia and by Rav Saadiah of tenth- century Egypt) prescribe specific texts which incorporate contributions of preceding generations and add commentary, new prayers, poetry and modi­ fications to the texts which they had received. From the perspective of the twentieth century, these two versions might appear to be quite similar, but they do differ from each other, and they do feature different emphases. Individuals and groups in the succeeding generations, through modern times, have introduced their own modifications, deletions, additions, commentary and poetry, producing a great variety of prayer books. A number of other versions or rites (called minhagim) were also developed, each of them within a country or a smaller geographical area where a distinctive Jewish community flourished. At times, one or another of these versions was adopted by communities in other locales as well. Some of the prayer books have differed substantially from those in the mainstream of Jewish liturgy, but most of them incorporate and perpetuate the classic Jewish liturgical texts of biblical and rabbinic origin as their essential core.

Workers whose [Jewish] employer provides meals in lieu of payment (8) may pray the [full text of the] Shmoneh Esrei [Amida, the Silent Prayer] (9) but they may not act as the Chazan [leader] nor perform the Priestly Blessing [if they are priests]. (10) However if they are on a [daily] wage then they should pray (11) Havineinu [the shortened form of the Amida, as in Seif 1]. But nowadays it is unusual that [an employer] would mind, and we employ staff on the assumption that they will pray (12) the [full version of the] Shmoneh Esrei.

MB 9: But they may not - Because the employer will mind as these take a long time.
