  • 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.

  • 2008 Main Newsletter
    cŠqa BERESHITH "IN THE BEGINNING" A Newsletter for Beginners, by Beginners ziy`xa Vol. XXI No. 3 Nissan 5768/April 2008 PESACH NOSTALGIA Rabbi Avi Billet When I think of Passover (Pesach), the most vivid memories I have are about turning the house over in preparation for the family seder and the role my grandparents would play leading up to that exciting evening. They always spent the holiday with us and would often come a few days in advance of the holiday to help with the cleaning and cooking. And of course, they looked forward to spending quality time with us, their grandkids. My grandmother would chase us around the house helping us clean (and probably wound up doing most of the cleaning herself). Most of her time, however, was spent preparing goodies that conform to the holiday rules of no chametz (leaven - flour and water). I really thought she had invented potato starch and matzo meal. She made rolls and honey cookies and muffins and noodles. And she used eggs -- boy did she use eggs! From her classic “grammy-eggs” and matzah brei, to her noodles for the chicken soup, to the crepe-like omelettes that became the out- side of her famous cheese blintzes. Many of my memories of those days are colored yellow. Grammy doesn’t do too much cooking now, but we still give her credit for all the delicacies we have grown accustomed to eating on Passover. My grandfather also had an important role in the kitchen, though his creativity was limited to the things he made best: (cont.

  • 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.

  • Guide to Erev Pesach on Shabbat 5781 ~ 2021
    Guide to Erev Pesach on Shabbat 5781 ~ 2021 This year, 5781/2021, Pesach begins on Saturday night. With Erev Pesach falling on Shabbat, we will have some more pre-Pesach planning than usual. I hope you will find these guidelines helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. ~ Rabbi Ken Brodkin Question 1: When do we search for Chametz? This year, we search for Chametz on Thursday night, March 25, after 8:15 pm. Before searching, we recite the Bracha of "Al Biur Chometz". Following the search, we say the paragraph of "Kol Chamira". Both these sections may be found in the Artscroll Siddur (Nusach Sephard) on pg. 700. The blessing marks the beginning of our destruction of Chametz; the "Kol Chamira" paragraph (the first of the two printed in the Siddur) annuls our ownership of any Chametz which has escaped our notice. Question 2: When do we burn our Chometz? So as not to create any confusion, we burn our Chametz on Friday, March 26, at the normal time that we would on a regular Erev Pesach—before 12:10 pm. We do not recite any blessing or “Kol Chamira” at that time. Question 3: When do we recite "Kol Chamira" annulling our ownership of Chametz? We do not recite the second "Kol Chamira" when burning our Chametz on Friday. We recite the first "Kol Chamira" when we search for Chametz on Thursday night. We recite the second “Kol Chamira” on Shabbat morning, before 12:10 pm, on pg. 700. Question 4: When do the first-born sons fast? This year, the fast is observed on Thursday, March 25.

  • Halakhic Guide to Pesach Preparations (When Erev Pesach Falls on Shabbat)
    Halakhic Guide to Pesach Preparations (when Erev Pesach falls on Shabbat) When Passover begins on Motzei Shabbat (Saturday night) as it does this year, it impacts how we prepare for the holiday in a number of ways. Those changes are detailed within this guide to preparing for Pesach. Ta`anis Bechoros/Fast of the First Born The fast, which is usually observed by first born sons on Erev Pesach, is pushed back to Thursday when Erev Pesach falls on Shabbat. This year the fast is observed on March 25, from 5:37am and until 7:48pm. Jack Shapiro will be making a siyyum on Zoom at 7:30am to celebrating the completion of a tractate of the Talmud. Use this link to register: www.baisabe.com/form/siyyum. Firstborn sons who attend the Zoom siyyum are exempt from fasting for the rest of the day. Bedikat Chametz/The Search for Chametz Normally we search for chametz the night before Passover. This year, we search our homes for chametz on the evening of Thursday, March 25th with a bracha after 7:58pm. After the search the normal nullification (bittul) is recited. (Koren Nusach Sefard Siddur p. 790). This bittul should be recited in a language you understand, which means even if you normally pray in Hebrew, you should probably recite the English on p. 790, rather than the Aramaic on p. 791. Bi’ur Chametz/Burning of the Chametz We can burn the chametz on Friday, March 26th until 12:10pm. The reason for this custom is so that in future years one does not get confused about the proper time to burn chametz.
