  • 0045 in 8193 05 Hilchot Shvitat Yom Tov R031 Draft 01
    Food on Yom Tov Ref: Sefer Zemanim, Hilchot Shvitat Yom Tov, Chapter 1–6 On the Yamim Tovim (Holidays) there is an obligation to rest as on Shabbat, but the laws are more lenient. This leniency mainly allows for work related to the preparation of food to be permissible. In addition, 2 other labours which are indirectly linked to food preparation are also allowed i.e. carrying and kindling a fire. s The Rabanim have been further lenient with the latter two labours by allowing activities even if they are not related to food preparation for example carrying books, keys, children etc. on Yom Tov. • Further, even other labours connected with food may be allowed e.g. slaughtering, kneading, baking etc. However, if it was equally possible to do these labours before Yom Tov, then it is forbidden to do these on Yom Tov (because the labours are arduous and will detract from the joy of Yom Tov) In contrast carrying items which could have been prepared before Yom Tov is allowed because the work is not arduous and it adds to the joy of Yom Tov. Similarly, it is forbidden to bake or cook on Yom Tov for eating after Yom Tov. • Bathing and anointing are labours which have also been given leniency for Yom Tov but one may not wash one’s entire body, and one can use hot water. • “Muktzeh” (something set aside for another purpose) and “nolad” (something newly created) is forbidden on Yom Tov. An example of “muktzeh” is an apple that one plans on selling.

  • Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale Guide to Tefillah and Halachic Times
    Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale Guide to Tefillah and Halachic Times Thursday, May 28th; 5th of Sivan Erev Shavuot Candle lighting 7:49p Mincha 7:55p Sunset 8:07p Nightfall: 8:46p Eruv Tavshilin should be prepared. This year, Shavuot occurs on Friday and Shabbat. We are not generally allowed to prepare on one day of a holiday for another day. However, the Rabbis permitted preparing food for Shabbat on Erev Shabbat, provided an Eruv Tavshilin is made in advance. Through the process of Eruv Tavshilin, one actually begins Shabbat preparations on Erev Yom Tov, i.e. Thursday. An Eruv Tavshilin is made on Thursday in order to permit cooking on Friday for Shabbat. An Eruv Tavshilin consists of bread (or matzah) and a cooked food such as fish, meat or a hardboiled egg. The head of the house or any other member of the household takes the plate with the cooked food and the bread or matzah (preferably in the right hand) and says: ברוך אתה ה' אלקינו מלך העולם אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו על מצות ערוב We then recite the Eruv Tavshilin text (in Aramaic or English) בהדין עירובא יהא שרא לנא לאפויי ולבשולי ולאטמוני ולאדלוקי שרגא ולאפוקי ולמעבד כל צרכנא מיומא טבא לשבתא “By virtue of this Eruv, we (the members of the household) shall be permitted to cook, bake, keep food warm, carry, light candles and do all preparations on Yom Tov (i.e. Friday) for Shabbat.” Even though the Eruv is made, the food for Shabbat must be fully cooked before Shabbat begins and should preferably be prepared early on Friday, while there is still much of the day left, rather than leaving the preparations for the last minute.

  • PASSOVER April, 1991
    \ ins min LINCOLN SQUARE SYNAGOGUE BULLETIN Nisan 5751 - Volume 26, No. 5 PASSOVER April, 1991 A GUIDE TO THE LAWS OF PESACH I. ABOUT CHAMETZ A. The Prohibition The prohibition against Chametz on Pesach is found in the Torah. It commands every Jew: a. not to eat or drink it, b. not to own it, c. not to possess it. The prohibition applies to even the slightest amount of such Chametz because of the harshness of the penalty prescribed by the Torah — excision, or because of the fact that Chametz is permissible after Pesach — there can be no nullification during Pesach. The Rabbinic prohibition extends to the use even after Pesach of Chametz which belonged to a Jew during Pesach. For this reason, Jewish bakeries and other food stores which do not sell their Chametz before Pesach should not be patronized for approximately a month after the holiday so that no Chametz product which belonged to them during Pesach would be consumed even afterwards. However, this prohibition applies only to products which are in the category of Chametz B'ein (see below). B. The Forms of Chametz 1. Chametz B'ein — Pure Chametz — The combination of any of the five grains mentioned in the Torah (wheat, barley, rye, oats and spelt), or any of their derivatives (such as flour) with water or moisture for a period of eighteen minutes during which the mixture is not stirred, results in Chametz. (This process, described in the Talmud in terms of its appearance, is not identical with the process of fermentation. Chametz appears to be an arbitrarily defined state, not a scientifically definable condition.) Thus, included in this category are bread, cakes and pastries, beer, grain alcohol, and even matzah which was not specially prepared for Passover use.

  • Shavuot Walkthrough 2020 V3
    Shavuot Walkthrough 2020 This Yom Tov celebrates the receiving of the Torah by the Jewish People. It lasts for two days in the Diaspora. This year, sadly, our communities remain closed but Shavuot can still be fully celebrated at home with festive meals, prayers, reading and relaxing as much as is possible. Below is a brief walk through Shavuot. Times and dates are for London in 2020. Page numbers refer to the green siddur. Thursday Night 28th May As Shavuot begins on a Thursday night, an Eruv Tavshilin should be made, such as with a hard- boiled egg and challah roll, to facilitate preparation of food on Friday for Shabbat. See page 642. The earliest time for lighting Yom Tov candles is 7:26pm. Light a long-lasting candle prior to lighting Yom Tov candles, to use for candle lighting on Friday. The latest time for lighting candles is 8:49pm. The blessings are on page 644. Nightfall is at 10:00pm. In normal circumstances, many communities maintain the practice of ‘Tikkun Leil Shavuot’, providing study opportunities on the night of Shavuot. This practice can also be fulfilled by reading a Jewish book at home. Friday 29th May - First Day Shavuot Morning Services include the reading detailing the giving and contents of Ten Commandments, recorded in Parashat Yitro (Shemot/Exodus chapters 19 and 20). This can be read from a chumash or machzor. Friday Evening 29th May Candle lighting is for Shabbat and the concurrent second night of Shavuot from a long-lasting candle. Candles should be lit from 7:26pm at the earliest and by 8:51pm at the latest.

  • Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot
    Guide to Shavuot at Home 5780 Erev Shavuot – Thursday May 28 ● Eiruv Tavshilin should be prepared. This is to allow one to cook on Friday (Yom Tov) for Shabbat. Set aside a cooked food and a baked food that will be eaten on Shabbat and then: Take the food items (it is a good idea to wrap them in aluminum foil, or another distinctive packaging, to easily keep them apart from the rest of the foods in your home), and raise them a handbreadth, and then recite the following: Blessed are you, L-rd our G-d, king of the universe, who has sanctified us with his commandments, and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of eruv. Through this [eruv] it shall be permissible for us to bake, cook, put away a dish [to preserve its heat], kindle a light, prepare, and do on the holiday all that is necessary for Shabbat — for us and for all the Israelites who dwell in this city. The eruv is put away until Shabbat, when it is eaten. In many communities, it is customary to use the challah or matzah as one of the two loaves of bread used at the Shabbat meal. ● One should make an effort to daven mincha before plag hamincha which is at 7:19pm. We will have a Zoom pre-Yom Tov ruach at 6:45pm followed by Mincha at 7:05pm. ● Candle lighting should take place at 8:31pm. Many women have the custom to recite shehecheyanu immediately after lighting candles (note: women who will be reciting Kiddush themselves may not recite shehecheyanu at candle lighting).
