It is reprinted with permission at this time because of its connection to the recently learned Daf Yomi in Chulin 105 and meat in the first meal and dairy in the next). because of the newly added Part 2. The article has been renamed The Mysterious Wait with the original The question is, how long is the interval first section discussing the source for waiting three hours between meat and dairy. The newly added second between one meal and another? section discusses the sources for waiting six hours or part of the sixth hour. Some have suggested that those who wait three hours may understand Mar Ukva to be THE MYSTERIOUS WAIT referring to the interval between breakfast and lunch (a short, three-hour period) rather An Analysis of Various Minhagim Concerning Waiting than between lunch and dinner (a longer period). This explanation, however, presents Between Meat and Dairy a difficulty. Tosfos in Chulin 105A tells us that in Mar Ukva’s time only two meals RABBI YOSEF GROSSMAN were eaten daily. Presumably, when Mar Senior Educational Rabbinic Coordinator; Editor - The Daf HaKashrus Ukva stated that he waited between eating meat and eating dairy just the normal inter- val between meals, he was referring to the PART 1: THE THREE-HOUR WAIT The source for this minhag is shrouded in two daily meals that people ate in his time.

  • Women-Join-Talmud-Ce
    OBSERVANCE Women Join Talmud Celebration As the daf yomi cycle of Talmud learning concludes this week, a Jerusalem study group breaks a barrier By Beth Kissileff | July 30, 2012 7:00 AM | Comments: 0 (Margarita Korol) This week, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to gather in various venues around the world for what’s being billed as “the largest celebration of Jewish learning in over 2,000 years.” The biggest American event, in New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Aug. 1, is expected to fill most of the arena’s 90,000 seats. The occasion is the siyum hashas, the conclusion of a cycle of Talmud study first proposed by Meir Shapiro, rabbi of Lublin, at the First World Congress of World Agudath Israel—an umbrella organization A Different Voice representing ultra-Orthodox Jewry—in Vienna in 1923. When a woman learns the art of Torah Shapiro’s idea was that Jews around the world could chanting, she realizes she is part of a build unity by studying the same page of Talmud at the new religious tradition—as well as a very same time. If a Jew learns one page per day, known as old, sacred one daf yomi, it will take almost seven and a half years to By Sian Gibby complete all 2,711 pages of the Babylonian Talmud. This week’s siyum hashas marks the conclusion of the 12th cycle of daf yomi study since 1923. Historically, one group of Jews has often been limited in access to this text: women. The ultra-Orthodox world does not, for the most part, approve of women studying Talmud; as one rabbi representative of this view, or hashkafa, explains, such scholarship is “not congruent with the woman’s role” in Judaism.

  • Exploring the Jewish Woman's Unique Potential the Judaism Site
    Torah.org Exploring the Jewish Woman's Unique Potential The Judaism Site https://torah.org/learning/women-class28/ EXPLORING THE JEWISH WOMAN'S UNIQUE POTENTIAL by Rebbetzin Leah Kohn Part I: "DO NOT FORESAKE THE TORAH OF YOUR MOTHER" (PROVERBS 1:8): RABBI MEIR SHAPIRO'S ATTACHMENT TO HIS MOTHER'S ADVICE In the days of Rav Meir Shapiro's boyhood - the last decade of the nineteenth century - Jewish learning took place at home. Families would hire a tutor, who would live with the family and leave only for holidays. Such was the case in the home of young Meir Shapiro. One late night - the night after Pesach when the family tutor should have already returned from his vacation earlier that day - Meir awoke to the sound of his mother crying. He found her in tears, reciting psalms and praying that the family tutor should return immediately. Meir tried to console his mother, suggesting that the tutor would surely come back soon. His mother refused to be comforted, responding that even a single day of Torah study foregone is like losing something precious that can never be retrieved. What's more, she mused, perhaps the family had not paid him enough and for that reason he had not returned. "For such a great and mighty Torah," she concluded, perhaps their sacrifice had been too small, even though financially it had always been difficult to come up with the tutor's stipend. Such was this woman's profound attachment to Torah, which she communicated to her son. The lasting impression of his mother's words is evident in Rav Meir's two great contributions to Jewish learning, not to mention his scholarship and personal righteousness.

  • Orthodox by Design
    one Authoritative and Accessible the year 2005 was a big one for ArtScroll. It marked the completion of the seventy- third and final volume of their Talmud Bavli: The Schotten- stein Edition, a massive work of thirty- five thousand pages, involving over eighty rabbinic scholars for more than fifteen years, at a blistering produc- tion rate of one volume every nine weeks.1 No other publication has more definitively signaled ArtScroll’s ascent in the publishing world. Several other ArtScroll books have had a dramatic impact on the English- language Jewish public sphere, such as The Complete ArtScroll Siddur (their basic prayer book) and even their best- selling cookbook, Kosher by Design.2 But ArtScroll’s Talmud is unique in terms of the intellectual, symbolic, and financial resources at stake for a project of this magnitude, as well as its impact on the relationship of the publisher with its patrons, customers, critics, and even competing publishers.3 Let us recall here the status of the Babylonian Talmud as arguably the central text of Rabbinic Judaism. It consists of the written record of what is known in Jewish tradition as the Torah she be’al peh (the Oral Law), orig- inally transmitted to Moses on Mt. Sinai alongside the Torah she bi khtav (the Written Torah, i.e., the Hebrew Bible), and systematized by a long tradition of authoritative commentators.4 More than any other text in the Jewish tradition, it symbolizes the shift in ancient Israelite religion from a temple cult or ga nized around sacrificial practices to the religion of a 30 “people of the book,” living in diaspora, in the aftermath of the destruc- tion of the Temple at Jerusalem.

  • Tractate 19 -Gittin 2A
    Tractate 19 -Gittin 2a - 48b1 19 - Gittin The mesechta of Gittin deals with the laws of divorce. The term ‘get’ (singular) or ‘gittin’ (plural) refers, not to the divorce itself, but to the document that effects the divorce. It is written in 12 lines. The numerical value of the word “get” is 3 + 9 which equals the number 12. Marriage can be accomplished through a variety of methods (money, document or cohabitation), however, divorce is only accomplished via a get. Marriage has two stages: Erusin (also called Kiddushin) and Nisuin. Even Erusin confers the legal status of man and wife on the couple and cannot be undone, unless the husband gives the woman a get. Volition - He must divorce her of his own free will (unless on the rare occasion when he is coerced by Bais Din to divorce) (The scriptural source is Deut 24:1-4). But Rabbeinu Gershom (Meor HaGolah b.960- d.1040) declared a ‘cherem’, ‘a religious ban’ on any husband who divorces his wife against her will. 19 - Gittin No grounds for divorce are needed. The document must indicate that the wife is being sent away. The following are examples of phrases that are effective: 1.You are hereby sent away. 2.You are hereby in your own domain. 3.You are permitted to any man. 4.I send you from my house. However, the phrase ‘I am no longer your husband’ is not effective. It severs the relationship, but does not send the wife away. It removes the husband from the wife, rather than the wife from the husband.

  • Estled Beneath a Coniferous Canopy of Evergreens on the Verdan
    Nov. 19 / 22 Cheshvan, 2011 A Publication of Congregation Knesses Yisrael / www.CKYNH.org HALACHA V’HALICHA… By Rav Chaim Schabes When Eliezer came to Besuel’s house to speak about a shidduch for Yitzchak, he refused any food until he first spoke. Why did he decline the meal, given that he had just arrived from a trip, and it would be normal to rest up, have a bite, and then proceed with his mission? Rav Binyamin Diskind (father of Reb Yehoshua Leib) said that possibly, just like the Shulchan Aruch writes that one is not permitted to eat once the time comes to say the b’racha over the lulav (OC 652:2), so too, when Eliezer arrived at Besuel’s house, he had a mitzvah to propose the shidduch, and was therefore prohibited from eating until after fulfilling that obligation. A man is not allowed to be mekadaish a woman unless it was previously discussed (shidduchim), and was agreed to by both the man and the woman (EH 26:4, Ginas V’radim 2:11). It is permitted for a man to look at the prospective bride to see whether she looks nice; furthermore, it is proper to see her first, and it is not enough that the chosson’s mother or other relative sees her (EH 21:3). It is also appropriate for the woman to first see the man and not get married unless she likes him; however, there is no prohibition for a woman to get married to someone she has not met previously (EH 47:8, 36:1).
