HALAKHIC CORNER Question For the Week ROSH HASHANAH From Our Semichat Chaver Program Q: Is there a source for the well-known custom not to sleep during the taught by Rabbi Dr. Zev Wiener day of Rosh Hashanah? A: The Rama (O”C 583:2), the major 16th century Ashkenazic halakhic For more about our Semichat Chaver Program, authority, based on the Jerusalem Talmud, The Yerushalmi, please see the flyer posted on our website, www.yicc.org records the custom not to sleep during the daytime hours on Rosh This session, we will cover the laws of opening HaShanah. The Yerushalmi explains that one who sleeps during packages / cans / bottles, etc on Shabbat. the day on Rosh HaShanah will have a “sleepy year”. The 20th century commentary on the Shulchan Aruch, the Mishnah Q. Is one allowed to squeeze a lemon onto fish on Shabbat?

Berurah, adds that the Arizal permitted one to sleep after chatzot A. We have learned that squeezing fruit for their juice on (halakhic midday) explaining that the morning tefilot and shofar Shabbat may involve a Biblical (for grapes and olives) or sounds have already aroused mercy in heaven and therefore one Rabbinic (for most other fruit) prohibition. Therefore, it can confidently sleep in the afternoon. Interestingly, Rabbi should seemingly be prohibited to squeeze lemons onto fish th on Shabbat. Ephraim Zalmen Margoliot in his 19 century work, Mateh Ephraim, felt that nowadays we are not on the same spiritual level However, the Gemarah teaches that while one is not as the Arizal, therefore one must try hard not to sleep in the permitted to squeeze fruit for their juice into a cup, one is afternoon. Rabbi Yechiel Michel Epstein, the author of the late 19th permitted to squeeze fruit for their juice into food. The century Aruch HaShulchan, among many others, accepts the reason appears to be that the prohibition of Sechitah -- leniency of the Arizal and points out that he has not been able to squeezing fruit -- is defined as extracting a drink (e.g., juice) locate the source in the Yerushalmi itself. Nonetheless, it is from a food (e.g., a grape). In the case of squeezing onto important to note that many authorities accept the Yerushalmi and fish, however, the juice is instantly absorbed into the food, so comment that it is important to rise in the morning as early as that one started with a food (e.g., the lemon) and ends with a possible to demonstrate that one is concerned and anxious over food (e.g., the fish, with juice absorbed), and the juice has no the coming day's judgment. existence of its own. Although the juice "exists" for a brief moment while it is in the air, descending from the lemon into the air, the Halacha does not assign significance to that very brief moment.

The Poskim extend this leniency to situations in which one squeezes fruit onto food, even if the juice is not absorbed (e.g., squeezing lemon onto salad lettuce). Because the juice is extracted to enhance the food, it is considered subordinate to the food, and the above logic would apply. THE ALTHEA GOLDSTEIN Z”L YICC WOMEN’S TEHILIM GROUP Because there is an opinion that denies the leniency of squeezing juice onto food, the Poskim advise that one should This group meets via Zoom every Monday, at 7:30 pm, to recite the preferably refrain from squeezing grapes or olives onto food, entire Tehilim, praying for all those in need of a Refuah, for those since these fruit may involve a possible Biblical wanting a child, for singles to find their soul mates, for the memory prohibition, as we have seen before. of a loved one, as well as for peace in Israel and the world.
