GUIDE for EREV PESACH on SHABBAT (HALACHA and SCHEDULE) THURSDAY March 25 (Nisan 12) GUIDE FOR EREV PESACH ON SHABBAT (HALACHA AND SCHEDULE) THURSDAY March 25 (Nisan 12) The Fast of firstborns (and accompanying siyum) would usually be on Erev Pesach. This year, since Erev Pesach is shabbat, the fast (and accompanying siyum) is pushed up to Thursday. One may participate in the siyum over zoom (info below). Bedikat Chometz is not done on shabbat so it gets pushed up to Thursday Night. 6:45 AM - Shacharit (with siyum, could be as early as 7:05 ) 8:00 AM - Shacharit (with siyum, could be as early as 8:20) Both Siyyumim will be on zoom (www.bethsholom.org/zoom) 8:05 PM - Earliest time for Bedikat Chametz FRIDAY March 26 (Nisan 13) 9:00 - 11:00 AM - We will have a chometz burning in the shul parking lot (with masks and social distancing) Chometz is burned on Friday anytime until 12 PM. Vessels may be kashered all the way until shabbat! Try to do all of your Seder Preparations before shabbat. Light a Yohrsteit candle (preferably a 48 or 72 hour one) so you can light candles on Motzai Shabbat and Sunday Night. Friday night dinner can have chometz (use paper products!) or Matzah. SATURDAY March 27 (Nisan 14 - Erev Pesach) WHAT TO DO ABOUT SHABBAT MEALS ON EREV PESACH: If your general custom is to to eat bread for Seudah Shlishit on shabbat, then you should have one very quick meal (consisting of kiddush, hamotzie and Birchat Hamazon). After that meal is over, go on a quick walk and then begin a new meal for seudah shlishit. The bread part of that meal must be finished by 10:45 am (the last permissible time to eat Chometz). The Hamotzie can either be made on real bread (but make sure to only leave over enough for Lechem two loaves for each meal) or it can be made on Egg Matzah. The rest of the meal should be 100 percent kosher for Pesach and may be eaten after 10:45 am. If you generally do not eat bread for seudah shlishit, then you only need to have one Hamotzie before 10:45 and feel free to fulfill your Seudah Shlishit requirement by having meat, cheese or fruit later in the day. After you dispose of any leftover breadcrumbs on shabbat morning, say the Kol Chamira (nullification of chometz) paragraph found in Haggadah. If finishing your meals before 10:45 am is too challenging (or if you are very worried about having chometz crumbs in your house), you may rely on those who say one may eat egg matzah (Matzah Ashirah) on erev Pesach and use Egg Matzah for lunch and seduah shlishit even after 10:45 am. But one should finish all big meals before 4:20 PM (even if using egg matzah) so that one will eat at the seder with an appetite! Schedule for shabbat: 8:00 AM - Shacharit 10:45 AM - Latest Time for Eating Chometz 7:10 PM - Mincha 7:25 PM (approx.) - Maariv 8:07 PM - Light candles and Preparations for seder may begin Kiddush is referred to as YAKNEHAZ (which stands for the order of the blessings). Just follow the special instructions in your Haggadah. Use the Yom Tov candles (that have been lit from a pre-existing flame) for the fire during the Havdalah portion of Kiddush. Leave the candles in place and simply raise your hands to the light of the Yom Tov candles as you say “Boreih Meorei Ha-esh”..

  • Lincoln Square Synagogue for As Sexuality, the Role Of
    IflN mm Lincoln Square Synagogue Volume 27, No. 3 WINTER ISSUE Shevat 5752 - January, 1992 FROM THE RABBI'S DESK.- It has been two years since I last saw leaves summon their last colorful challenge to their impending fall. Although there are many things to wonder at in this city, most ofthem are works ofhuman beings. Only tourists wonder at the human works, and being a New Yorker, I cannot act as a tourist. It was good to have some thing from G-d to wonder at, even though it was only leaves. Wondering is an inspiring sensation. A sense of wonder insures that our rela¬ tionship with G-d is not static. It keeps us in an active relationship, and protects us from davening or fulfilling any other mitzvah merely by rote. A lack of excitement, of curiosity, of surprise, of wonder severs our attachment to what we do. Worse: it arouses G-d's disappointment I wonder most at our propensity to cease wondering. None of us would consciously decide to deprive our prayers and actions of meaning. Yet, most of us are not much bothered by our lack of attachment to our tefilot and mitzvot. We are too comfortable, too certain that we are living properly. That is why I am happy that we hosted the Wednesday Night Lecture with Rabbi Riskin and Dr. Ruth. The lecture and the controversy surrounding it certainly woke us up. We should not need or even use controversy to wake ourselves up. However, those of us who were joined in argument over the lecture were forced to confront some of the serious divisions in the Orthodox community, and many of its other problems.

  • The Laws of Shabbat
    Shabbat: The Jewish Day of Rest, Rules & Cholent Meaningful Jewish Living January 9, 2020 Rabbi Elie Weinstock I) The beauty of Shabbat & its essential function 1. Ramban (Nachmanides) – Shemot 20:8 It is a mitzvah to constantly remember Shabbat each and every day so that we do not forget it nor mix it up with any other day. Through its remembrance we shall always be conscious of the act of Creation, at all times, and acknowledge that the world has a Creator . This is a central foundation in belief in God. 2. The Shabbat, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, NCSY, NY, 1974, p. 12 a – (אומן) It comes from the same root as uman .(אמונה) The Hebrew word for faith is emunah craftsman. Faith cannot be separated from action. But, by what act in particular do we demonstrate our belief in God as Creator? The one ritual act that does this is the observance of the Shabbat. II) Zachor v’shamor – Remember and Safeguard – Two sides of the same coin שמות כ:ח - זָכֹוראֶ ת יֹום הַשַבָתלְקַדְ ׁשֹו... Exodus 20:8 Remember the day of Shabbat to make it holy. Deuteronomy 5:12 דברים ה:יב - ׁשָמֹוראֶ ת יֹום הַשַבָתלְקַדְ ׁשֹו... Safeguard the day of Shabbat to make it holy. III) The Soul of the Day 1. Talmud Beitzah 16a Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said, “The Holy One, Blessed be He, gave man an additional soul on the eve of Shabbat, and at the end of Shabbat He takes it back.” 2 Rashi “An additional soul” – a greater ability for rest and joy, and the added capacity to eat and drink more.

  • From the Rabbi's Desk the Festival of Chanukah Retells the Struggle Between Traditional Judaism and the Forces of Secularism Which Seek to Engulf It
    Vol. 3, Xo. 4 December, 1966 Kislev-Tevet, 5727 From The Rabbi's Desk The Festival of Chanukah retells the struggle between traditional Judaism and the forces of secularism which seek to engulf it. The Hellenists maintained that the esthetic values of Greek philosophy were far more noble than the outdated rituals of ancient Judea, that the dicta of Aristotle ought replace the laws of Moses. The one commandment most maligned was that of circumcision. How could civilized people, aware of the perfection of the human body, agree to any operation which would alter a physical organ? In truth, many of the Hellenized Jews underwent plastic surgery to conceal their "shameful" circumcision. Similarly in our own day is the rite of circum¬ cision being questioned and rejected. All too fre¬ quently a father asks me to name his new-born son in the synagogue after a so-called brit-milah was performed by a doctor on the third or fourth day after birth. So has twentieth century America trans¬ formed a religious imperative into a mere biological operation! The rite of circumcision brands our regenerative organ with the unescapable fact of our Jewishness. It declares to the son of Abraham at birth that the obligations and privileges of his Judaism are an intrinsic element of the very origin of his being. It eloquently preaches the power of man to perfect himself and the primacy of God over every aspect of man's physical existence. But most significantly it symbolizes commitment, the kind of commitment which involves the shedding of one's blood (hatafat dam brit) for one's faith and one's God.

  • Passover 2021 Guidelines Elebrating Passover This Year Will Once Again Not Be in an Ideal Form
    passover 2021 guidelines elebrating Passover this year will once again not be in an ideal form. Hopefully, the challenges presented by COVID-19 will open doors to creativity and the learning of new skills. In addition to Cour civic legal requirements, as always, it is crucial that we take seriously our obligation as Jews to safeguard our lives and the lives of others. This year, Pesach is immediately preceded by Shabbat. As a result, some practices are modified, especially when and what we eat on Shabbat. Selling Chametz / Ma’ot Chittin Adath Israel is once again pleased to assist our members in the selling of their chametz. As the synagogue office is closed, please do not mail or fax chametz selling forms. Rather, all chametz sales should be completed online HERE. It is a mitzvah prior to Passover to provide tzedakah so that those in need can appropriately celebrate the holiday. This year, there is already a great need within our community. Please support Toronto’s vulnerable Jews by donating HERE. New Clothing Many have the custom of purchasing new clothing prior to Passover. This practice should be suspended. Siyyum Bechorot The virtual Siyyum Bechorot will take place on Thursday, March 25. Services begin at 7:30 a.m., with the Siyyum starting 8:15am. We are honoured that Dr. Jack Lipinsky will once again lead the teaching. Click HERE to log in. Searching for Chametz The search for Chametz should take place on Thursday night, preceded by the opening blessing. If you plan to consume chametz during Shabbat, then do not recite the kol chamirah closing declaration.

  • Shabbat Prayer Book
    Welcoming Shabbat ,ca ,kce Beth Shir ShAlom Santa Monica, California Shabbat ,ca ,kce An artist is like God, but small. He can't see out of God’s creation, for it includes him. With the seas divided, all the animals named, and the sun and moon and stars set in their tracks, an artist spends his life not only wondering, but wanting to work like God with what he can command: his paints. He tries to copy God’s creations. He tries to shape beauty with his hand. He tries to make order out of nature. He tries to paint the thoughts and feelings in his mind. An artist is like God as God created him. Small, strong, and with limited days, his gift of breath is spent over his paintbox. Choosing and brushing his colors, he tries to make paint sing. — M.B.

  • Kashrut in Synagogue Kitchens
    dxa, c rst asj atr Yoreh De’ah 87ff Kashrut Supervision in the Synagogue Rabbi Paul Drazen Introduction This document was written for use by the rabbi who supervises a synagogue kitchen. As such, there are a number of areas which are left unresolved, as they are specifically in the domain of each congregation's rabbi to set religious policy for his/her congregation. If this guide is to be used in a congregation without a rabbi, the congregation should arrange for a rabbi to serve as its mara d'atra and turn to that rabbi for the decisions needed. Supervision of a synagogue kitchen need not be a burdensome chore if clear rules are established and there is a system to assure the rules are followed. The rabbi is responsible for providing information to those who cook and bake as well as guidance to those who supervise on-site during food preparation. This document provides: a) Listings of areas for which the mara d'atra needs to make decisions for the observance of kashrut in the kitchen, with special consideration for the attendant issues of Shabbat and Yom Tov observance and preparation. b) Basic outlines and information on which decisions can be made, including relevant teshuvot of the CJLS. c) A suggested version of a document to be given to those who prepare food at the synagogue. Please note the sample document (Section III of this guide) was written intentionally to leave decisions to be made by each mara d'atra. It is not possible for any document to cover every aspect of each congregation's particular circumstances or customs.

  • Seder That Falls After Shabbat
    Seder that Falls After Shabbat Dear Members, When Erev Pesach falls on Shabbat there are a few challenges that must be overcome to ensure that Shabbat is preserved along with the laws of Pesach. Challenge One: Chametz and Shabbat meals This first challenge is the most significant. Chametz must be eaten by 11:11am and ​ destroyed by 12:15pm. So, what should we use for Lechem Mishneh, our two loaves of bread ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ necessary for each Shabbat meal? There are three options: Option 1 Use a small quantity of bread, such as challah rolls. Remember: You will ​ need two for Shabbat dinner on Friday evening; and two for Shabbat lunch on Saturday, which must be consumed no later than 11:11am. By eating them completely, it is ​ considered as though they have been destroyed for the purpose of Passover. You can dispose of any remaining crumbs by sprinkling them into the wind (if you live within the Eruv, if not flush them down the toilet). Option 2 Use egg matzah, which can be used for Friday night, Shabbat lunch and ​ Seudah Shelishit (Third Meal). Note: Technically, egg matzah may not be used for Seder, unless there are specific health considerations which preclude the consumption of regular matzah.) As we will be selling the Chametz before Shabbat begins, the balance of the Shabbat ​ ​ meals should be kosher for Passover (to facilitate clean-up of table and dishes). If you still ​ have leftover Chametz, you can destroy it in one of the following ways: a) sprinkle into the wind, b) flush down the toilet, c) feed it to your dog.
