Baruch Hashem the feedback on the Rosh Chodesh Sunday program has been amazing. The excitement has continued throughout the week during which Sunday’s shiurim were viewed tens of thousands of times. A few minutes ago I gave the last shiur of the all night mishmar which over 10,000 people were part of. Am Yisrael is yearning for achdut, limud hatorah, and, even more so, for the latter through the former. We have received hundreds of requests for write-ups of the shiurim for Shavuot learning. In order to facilitate this, a group of over seventy volunteers worked to summarize the shiurim. A special thank you to Josh Maurer for coordinating this effort and to Josh Appel for his design. Thank you again to all the over 150 speakers and to the tens of people who helped coordinate the two programs. May the zechut of your efforts merit you and your families Hashem’s beracha of continued good health and hatzlacha! If you have not done so yet, please fill out a feedback form by clicking here for the Rosh Chodesh program so we can best evaluate and plan for the future. For continued information on Vayichan programs sign up for a WhatsApp or email group on the website (http://vayichan.com/). This week was iy”H only the beginning. We are inspired by the overwhelming excitement and we very much look forward to continuing to help facilitate and strengthen our achdut. Stay tuned… שנזכה לעלות לרגל עם כל ישראל אחינו Chag Bari V’Sameach to all of you and your families! Bivracha Meiha’ir Shechubra lah yachdav, Reuven Taragin Dean of Overseas Students Yeshivat Hakotel 4 Opening words Chodesh Tov, Choydesh Tov, and Ah Gutten Chodesh! My name is Reuven Taragin. I am the Dean of Overseas Students at Yeshivat Hakotel in Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh. I welcome you to the Vayichan Program presented by Yeshivat Hakotel from the center of the world opposite: the place where the Beis Hamikdash once stood and will iy”H once again stand soon and the place to which we all daven the city that unifies us all. I welcome you to today’s Vayichan program. It has been a great honor to coordinate the program especially at such challenging time for the Jewish people. For the first time in 2000 years, eight Chief Rabbis from around the globe, leading Roshei Yeshiva, Rabbonim, and Mechanchim from around the world and of different hashkafot have joined forces to present Torah to the whole world at once- ki’ish echad b’lev echad. Hashem’s hashkagcha has created the unique circumstances that have made this very special event possible. Sadly, we are not able to gather locally in our shuls and yeshivot. Instead, we gather virtually from across the world. We estimate that 100,000 of our people from 5 continents will be viewing these shiurim which will iy”H make this the broadest (geographically) and largest (numerically) Torah learning program since we received the Torah at Har Sinai. Today is indeed a very special day. The goal of this virtual hakhel program is not just achdut and not just limud hatorah, but the two together- achdut in our limud hatorah- learning and being mekabel Torah together. All of us value Torah, its learning, and its honor. Most of the year we value it separately and sometimes, sadly, divided. Today we learn and show our love for it together- unified. The past months have deepened our sense of loneliness and separateness and also fostering a yearning for connection and achdut. 5 B”H the situation is improving and iy”H we will soon be able to emerge from our cave of isolation and reconnect with each other. I very much hope that today’s program helps us understand that this reconnection needs to be, not only with our friends and people of similar hashkafa, but also with the entire tzibbur- with all of Klal Yisrael. Let us commit ourselves to come out of isolation differently than the way we went in. Let us come out seeing the beauty in those carrying two haddasim for Shabbos and not burning those same people for their shortcomings. Let us take advantage of this program and use it to come together more as lomdei Torah and Yirei Shamayim. We will and should remain different than one another. It is how we are supposed to be. But let us make sure to see ourselves as different shades as opposed to different peoples. This unified view will iy”H help us connect the rest of Klal Yisrael to our beloved Torah and Mitzvot and facilitate a renewed kabalat haTorah by all of our people. Today is an appropriate one for us to reflect on this idea because today is the day when Am Yisrael first arrived unified at Har Sinai to receive our holy Torah. Vayichan (Lashon Yachid) Sham Yisrael Neged Hahar. On Rosh Chodesh Sivan we arrived at Har Sinai Ki’ish Echad B’lev Echad. This is what we are reenacting today. We are preparing for Zman Matan Torateinu- the Yom Tov that commemorates Kabalas Hatorah- by once again standing unified together today on Rosh Chodesh. As we enter Chodesh Sivan, let us complete our preparation for Matan Torah by learning and showing our love for Hashem’s Torah together. Let us show Hashem that His children are unified in (and by) the love of His Torah and for each other so that we can be truly worthy of !בימים ההם בזמן הזה -receiving it anew Today’s achdut program is dedicated in memory of the Novominsker Rebbe (Rabbi Yaakov Perlow) zt"l who was niftar recently. This dedication is fitting because the Novominsker was known to be someone who worked hard to relate to (and was loved by) all Jews irrespective of hashkafa We lost a unifying Gadol BaTorah and leader. May this program inspire us to follow his unifying path of ahavat yisrael We also are dedicating this program to honor and pay respect to all of those recent niftarim. 6 כאיש אחד We ask that Hashem bring the ultimate refuah to the world in the and reward our being today by returning us all to the place behind me bimheirah bayameinu- speedily in our בלב אחד days! I would also like to thank the following people: First off, thank you to the speakers- the Chief Rabbis, the Roshei Yeshiva, the Rabbonim, and the Mechanchim who identified with this achdut vision and translated this identification into action by making the time to speak despite busy schedules. All of the speakers are speaking pro bono. A special thank you to Dovid Lichtenstein, Linda McNicholas, and the rest of their team for interviewing the chinuch couples. Thank you also to Rav Michoel Green, Rav Ariel Shoshan, Rav Gidon Shoshan, Rav Gil Student, and Rav Hanoch Teller for helping develop the program. Thank you also to our organizational partners around the world- The OU in North America, OU Israel and World Mizrachi in Israel, The Office of the Chief Rabbi in South Africa, Aleinu in the UK, and Aish Latino in Latin America. Thank you also to the hundreds of partner shuls, schools, yeshivot, and seminaries around the world. Thank you to Binyamin Klein for building and maintaining the website and to Leah Rubin for creating the program fliers. To Rav Shlomie Dachs, Rav Avraham Fried, Rav Benny Friedman, Rav Ari Goldwag, Rav Eitan Katz, Rav Baruch Levine, Rav Simcha Leiner, and Nachum Segal for their contributions. To the tens of video editors, speakers’ coordinators, and zoom room operators whose names are viewable on the website. And to the entire staff of Yeshivat Hakotel and most particularly Sammy Raskas, Eliyahu Klein, Uri Goldstein, and Jordan Lustman who were moseir nefesh (despite challenging circumstances) towards putting this program together.

Weiss The following teshuvah was approved by the CJLS on November 11, 2015 by a vote of nine in favor, four opposed, and eight abstaining (9-4-8). Voting in favor: Rabbis Pamela Barmash, Miriam Berkowitz, David Booth, Elliot Dorff, Baruch Frydman-Kohl, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, Jonathan Lubliner, Micah Peltz, Paul Plotkin. Voting against: Rabbis Aaron Alexander, Reuven Hammer, David Hoffman, Amy Levin. Abstaining: Rabbis Noah Bickart, Joshua Heller, Susan Grossman, Adam Kligfeld, Gail Labovitz, Daniel Nevins, Avram Reisner, Jay Stein. Sh’ayla: May a non-Kosher Home Dishwasher be Kashered? May a Home Dishwasher be Kashered for Passover? May a Home Dishwasher be used to wash meat and dairy dishes? Simultaneously? Consecutively? Teshuvah: How a Dishwasher operates This Teshuvah only deals with home dishwashers where hot and cold water enter the dishwasher separately. A general overview of how a dishwasher operates is helpful to understanding the kashering process.2 In a home dishwasher3 hot and cold water enter the tub separately. In a normal dishwashing cycle, the water is kept at a temperature of 120-140 degrees Fahrenheit. The water collects at the bottom of the tub but does not cover the dishes. A pump then circulates the water through holes in the rotating arms, which sprays the water onto the dishes. While this is being done the detergent is released into the tub and is sprayed over the dishes. Dirt from the dishes is disposed of at the bottom of the tub. Depending on the model, larger pieces of food are either ground up and sent through the drain or are collected in a filter that needs periodic cleaning.
