Moshe was their savior. SPONSORED BY Bnai Yisroel had been ensla ved in a hopless situation in Mitzrayim, and Moshe came and DR. YITZCHOK KLETTER turned the situation around, until the great king Pharoah went running thropugh the4 AND streets of Goshen in middle of the night looking for Moshe, to send Bani Yisroel out. FRIEDA LEAH KLETTER Moshe was the one who as cended Har Sinai and brought the Torah to Bnai Yisroel. he was the one who spoke directly to Hashem, and helped Bnai Yisroel with their food in the desert. All issues were brought to Moshe. DILEMMA How could Bnai Yisroel forget this all, and turn against Moshe? Al l the miraculous things And Korach took… (16:1) Moshe did should have caused them to recognize the G-dliness that Moshe had? Did they Hashem told Bnai Yisroel to take from not see the shining countenance of Moshe, on account of Hashem’s Presence resting on him? the Egyptians their expensive utensils upon departing from t heir land. Furthermore, unfortunately people sin on a daily basis. Why was Korach’s sin so severe, However, Hashem’s instructions were that all involved were destroyed, with no remembrance? They were swallowed into the only for those who had been their slaves. ground, with all their possessions, removing all remnants of their existence. Why? Since Korach was from Shevet Levi and was not a slave, he was unable to take Korach gathered the people with words of mockery. (Rashi) from the riches of the Egyptians. (Pirkei Based on this we can understand. Korach’s approach was to belittle everything sacred. D’Rebbe Elozor 49) What was truly important, Korach mitigated. He poked fun at the important things, (as we Hashem told Moshe, “you did n ot take find he mocked the mitzva of tzitzis and mezuzah) and tried to impress upon Bnai Yisroel from the spoils of Mitzrayim because you that Moshe and Aaron were regular people who were taking positions of power. He were busy retrieving the bones of Yosef. claimed that Moshe and Aaron were “Exalting themselves” (16:3) over Bnai Yisroel. He Instead, I will give you the shavings of the failed to realize that Moshe and Aaron were so great that these positions were nat urally Luchos.” (Shemos Rabba 46:2) theirs. Was the reason Moshe did not take from People may have a pre-conceived notion of what is important, and who is a great person. However, when mockery is interjected, and the leader is minimized to be a person who the spoils of Mitzrayim because he was has exalted himself, this chips away at the opinion that has been f ormulated. This will from Shevet Le vi or because he was not enslaved in Mitzrayim? eventually remove the affect that the leader has, as chazal say “One mockery can neutralize a hundred lessons”. This method of success that Korach used, is the antithesis to proper Torah observance. SUMMER BOYS PROGRAM One must respect Torah leaders, and view the Commands of Hashem with reverence. Without such an attitude one cannot properly observe Torah. Therefore, Hashem felt it Shachris - 8:30 necessary to wipe them out completely, in order that their ideology, the lack of importance associated with our leaders, and Hashem’s mitzvos is obliterated. Followed by learning Chavrusas will be arranged A GLIMPSE OF GREATNESS The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them… (16:32) Rav Shlomo Amar zt”l celebrated Pesach in Fez. Recognizing his outstanding Torah knowledge, Rav Shlomo was asked to deliver a drosho in shul. Durin g his speech, a person who didn’t agree with granting Rav Shlomo permission to speak, entered the shul and publicly denigrated him. A ruckus erupted. This led to Rav Shlomo stepping down from the podium. After Rav Shlomo descended, the person who had embar rassed him ascended the pulpit to speak. Suddenly, the roof above the pulpit collapsed and landed on the person who had humiliated Rav Shlomo, burying him alive. It is unadvisable to fight with Torah leaders.

(18:16) Rav Kahana took a handkerchief as payment for pidyon haben. (Kidushin 8a) Rav Kahana was not a kohen. If so, how could he take anything for pidyon haben? Since his wife was a kohenes, he was allowed to accept money for pidyon haben on account of his marriage to a koheness. (Tosfos Kidushin ibid) Can a husband married to a koheness accept pidyon haben as an 1) Automatic messenger of his wife (since they are married, the rules of being a messenger apply even without being appointed) 2) A Yisroel who marries a koheness is able to accept pidyon haben on his own account, and does not need to act as an agent for his wife. The difference would be if the wife would clearly state that she does not want her husband to accept pidyon haben on her behalf. Rav Dovid Povarsky (Kidushin 8a, 254) proves from the following halocho that a Yisroel husband of a koheness is not an agent for his wife to receive pidyon haben; rather, he receives pidyon haben on his own accord. One who is married to a kohenes does not need to give a kohen any of the priestly gifts (Yoreh Deah 61:8). If a Yisroel would only be a messenger for his wife to accept priestly gifts on her behalf, then she would be the proprietor of priestly gifts transactions. Wit h her Yisroel husband out of the picture, there is no reason for him to be exempt from giving a priestly gift. However, if a Yisroel husband of a koheness receives gifts on his own accord, he is considered a proprietor of gifts and is therefore not required to give a gift to himself.

  • Forceps Delivery and Pidyon Haben
    פרשת כי תשא תשע"ט הרב יוסי שפרונג - ראש בית המדרש Forceps Delivery and Pidyon Haben “Every first issue from the womb is Mine; and all your livestock that produce a male, that which emerges from an ox or a sheep. That which first emerges from a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it you shall break its neck; all firstborn among your sons you shall redeem. They shall not be seen before Me empty-handed” (Shemos 34:19-20) These Pesukim describe the Mitzvah of giving one’s firstborn animals to the Kohen and the Mitzvah of Pidyon Haben – the redemption of the firstborn male child of a Yisrael. The Gemara1 (Bechoros 47b2) explains that the Mitzva of Pidyon Haben only applies to the firstborn child who emerges naturally from the uterus (“Patar Es Harechem”). If he was delivered by means of a Caesarean section, there is no obligation of Pidyon Haben as he was not a Peter Rechem. What is the Halacha regarding a firstborn child that was delivered by means of forceps? A child delivered in this manner is born the same way as an ordinary vaginal delivery except that the forceps are interposed between the baby and the vaginal walls. The forceps used in a delivery are comprised of two crossover branches, each with a blade, shank, lock and handle. The blades each have two curves; one outward cephalic curve and another upward pelvic curve. During delivery, the blades are introduced into the vagina one after another and positioned so that they straddle the fetus’s head.

    EH 1:3:2020 Choosing Parenthood: ART, Adoption and the Single Parent by Rabbi Susan Grossman Approved on May 13, 2020, by a vote of 24-0-1. Voting in favor: Rabbis Aaron Alexander, Jaymee Alpert, Pamela Barmash, David Booth, Suzanne Brody, Nate Crane, Elliot Dorff, David Fine, Susan Grossman, Judith Hauptman, Joshua Heller, David Hoffman, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, Steven Kane, Amy Levin, Daniel Nevins, Micah Peltz, Avram Reisner, Robert Scheinberg, David Schuck, Deborah Silver, Ariel Stofenmacher, Iscah Waldman, and Ellen Wolintz-Fields. Voting Against: none. Abstaining: Rabbi Jan Kaufman. Sheilah: May a single, unmarried, individual who wants to choose to become a parent through adoption and/or the use of artificial reproductive technologies (ART) do so under Jewish law? Teshuvah: Introduction: About fifteen years ago, a congregant approached me to perform a baby naming for her newborn daughter. I knew the woman. She had grown up in the congregation. She was single, had despaired of ever getting married, and had chosen to utilize ART to have a child of her own and raise that child on her own. She wanted to welcome her child into the covenant within her congregational home. The next Sabbath, with the proud grandparents in attendance, the woman carried her daughter up to the bimah for her aliyah, following which I blessed her and her child and announced the child’s name. After services, I was approached by several older members who were distressed that the congregation had “legitimized” a child born “out of wedlock.” It was irrelevant to them that they knew the woman since she had been a child and were otherwise sympathetic to her.

  • Dissenting Opinion on Rabbi Barmash's Responsum on Women and Mitzvot
    Dissenting Opinion on Rabbi Barmash’s Responsum on Women and Mitzvot Rabbi Joshua Heller CJLS Iyar 5774 / May 2014 Y.D. 246:6.2014 This paper was submitted, in May 2014, as a dissent to “Women and Mitzvot” by Rabbi Pamela Barmash. Dissenting and Concurring papers are not official positions of the CJLS. I am impressed by Rabbi Barmash’s Teshuvah, and agree with its overall premise, that the status of Jewish women has changed, and continues to change over time, and that halakha must address that reality. This issue goes even beyond the rights of women. Judaism is strengthened by making each adult Jew, male or female, a fully appreciated member of the community, irrespective of gender. Indeed, within our communities we now see that women as a class participate fully in many mitzvot from which they were once considered exempt, as the criteria which may have once mandated those exemptions or exclusions no longer apply. However, I felt compelled to abstain because of two concerns, one general, relating to hiyyuv, obligation, and one specific, relating to tefillin. In particular, I would note that there are strong grounds to consider tefillin differently from the other obligations and practices covered in Rabbi Barmash’s teshuvah. My general concern, shared with a number of my colleagues who have written responses, is that Rabbi Barmash’s focus on obligation may miss the mark. I agree with Rabbi Kalmanofsky that, the language of hiyyuv itself does not adequately capture the way that many in our communities, female and male, approach their lives of religious observance.
