Is there a mezuzah obligation for the room storing the chometz? Is there an obligation to make bedikas chometz in the room storing the chometz? Is there an obligation to toivel kailim containing chometz that were sold to a non-Jew? Do dentures and fillings need cleaning before Pesach? דיני תערובות חמץ ודיני חמץ שעבר עליו הפסח בס”ד דף היומי בהלכה עלון חדשי Where may the chometz The Poskim present an interesting she’alah: After be required to make a bedikah, because the non-Jew still had not In be stored throughout Pesach, when the room reverts back to the Jew, taken physical possession and the keys were not yet transferred Pesach? must he reaffix the mezuzah? to him. The Mishnah Berurah brings the dissenting opinion of the Binyan Olam who does not require the Jew to make a The Divrei Malkiel writes that he must reaffix The Shulchan Aruch in Siman 448:3 paskens bedikah. His rationale is that the sale is of itself a valid method to the mezuzah, since when the non-Jew took that one may not benefit from any chometz accomplish the mitzvah of ‘Tashbisu’-destroying the chometz. The that remained in one’s possession over Pesach, possession of the room, it became exempt from mezuzah. In effect, the mezuzah was Mishnah Berurah cites the Chasam Sofer’s opinion who holds that even accidentally or inadvertently. The Shuchan as long as one retains ownership of other rooms and performs the Aruch adds: If it was sold to a non-Jew posted before the new obligation began. Thus, mitzvah of bedikah in those areas, he need not make a bedikah outside his house before Pesach, as long as he it may be considered “Ta’aseh vilo min heasuy” in the room designated for sale to the non-Jew. The Mishnah relinquished it unconditionally, one may derive – “One must put a mezuzah upon the onset of Berurah concludes that one who sells a room with chometz benefit from it after Pesach. the obligation. It is possul if placed before the truth, this is an issue onset of the obligation.” Rav Elyashiv and Rav and wants to avoid performing a bedikah in that location should that arises on a daily basis. If there is a legitimate concern The Mishnah Berurah cites an argument Nissim Karelitz concur with this opinion and arrange for the sale to take effect on the thirteenth of Nissan. that fillings and dentures actually absorb flavor, how may one among the Acharonim regarding the require reaffixing the mezuzah upon regaining use the same dentures and fillings for milk and meat? This Mechaber’s intent in the words, “outside the possession of the room. Is there an obligation to toivel kailim question was raised by the Maharsham and he is lenient, house”. The Machmirim are of the opinion that containing chometz that were sold based on a combination of ideas. Firstly, the Issur Viheter is since the non-Jew is all too aware that the Regarding regaining possession of a room to a non-Jew? of the opinion that heat that does not burn one’s mouth is that had only been leased to the non-Jew, the chometz belongs to the Jew, he will hesitate The Shulchan Aruch in Siman 448:3 requires that the sale of not sufficient heat to cause absorbing flavor. Additionally, Lechem Hapanim, in his footnote to the Kitzur the opinion of the Radvaz and the Chamudei Doniel is that a to touch it, giving the impression that it is chometz must be a valid and final sale without any shortcuts or Shulchan Aruch, is unsure and therefore, requires food must linger for its flavor to be absorbed. Since it is highly the Jew’s chometz. Additionally, if it is in the tricks. For the same reason, the Biur Halachah points out that a reaffixing the mezuzah without reciting a improbable that the food will remain in contact with the Jew’s house, he may accidentally eat from legal sale is also required when repurchasing the chometz from berachah. The Divrei Malkiel makes a distinction dentures and fillings for a substantial amount of time, there it. Therefore, the Mishnah Berurah rules that the non-Jew after Pesach. The Chazon Ish was careful to be if the contract allowed the Jew to use of the is no need to be concerned. The combination of these two preferably the chometz be completely removed toivel the kailim that he had sold to the non-Jew as is the practice room. In that case, there would be no need to opinions is sufficient reason to be lenient when we are dealing from the Jew’s premises. If great difficulty is when purchasing new kailim from a non-Jew. To avoid the need reaffix the mezuzah. The minhag nowadays is to with basar vichalav. involved and the non-Jew is unable to remove to be toivel the kailim after Pesach, Rav Nissim Karelitz and Rav all the chometz that he acquired from the Jew’s not reaffix it, as this is the opinion of Shmuel Wosner were careful to note in the contract of sale that The Maharsham concludes that when we are dealing with house, the Jew may sell the room in which the Rav Elyashiv. only the chometz stuck to the kailim was being sold; not the chometz, since it carries the severe penalty of kores, one chometz is found together with the chometz. kailim themselves.

  • Loving the Convert Prior to a Completed Conversion: with a Test Case Application of Inviting Conversion Candidates to Pesach Seder and Yom Tov Meals
    147 Loving the Convert Prior to a Completed Conversion: With a Test Case Application of Inviting Conversion Candidates to Pesach Seder and Yom Tov Meals By: MICHAEL J. BROYDE and BENJAMIN J. SAMUELS Introduction The Torah enjoins us numerous times concerning the mitzvah of Ahavat ha-Ger,1 which literally means the love of the stranger or sojourner, though is primarily understood in Jewish legal sources to refer more specifically to loving the convert to Judaism.2 Furthermore, the Torah commands us that “you shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18), and also charges us to love God (Deuteronomy 6:4), creating multiple duties of love as halakhic obligations. This article will explore the question: When does the duty to love the convert commence and does it impact the con- version process? Does it apply only to a newly converted Jew, or to a Noahide who is in the process of converting, or even to a Gentile who has expressed an interest in converting? The process of conversion to Judaism can be divided into three fun- damental stages: In the first stage, the person makes a personal decision 1 See Leviticus 19:34; Deuteronomy 10:18-19. The Torah also prohibits oppress- ing the convert, “lo toneh” and “Lo tonu”—see Exodus 22:20; Leviticus 19:33; TB Bava Metzia 58b, 59b, and Ben Zion Katz, “Don’t Oppress the Ger,” Seforim Blog <https://seforimblog.com/2019/07/dont-oppress-the-ger/>. However, this article will not investigate the question of when the prohibition against oppressing a convert begins, which may or may not track in parallel with the mitzvah of Ahavat ha-Ger.

  • Chassidus on the Chassidus on the Parsha +
    LIGHTS OF OUR RIGHTEOUS TZADDIKIM בעזרת ה ' יתבר A Tzaddik, or righteous person , makes everyone else appear righteous before Hashem by advocating for them and finding their merits. Kedushas Levi, Parshas Noach (Bereishis 7:1) VA’ES CHA NAN _ CHASSIDUS ON THE PARSHA + Dvar Torah Deciphered Messages The Torah tells us ( Shemos 19:19) that when the Jewish people gathered at Mount Sinai to receive the Torah , “Moshe spoke and Hashem answered him with a voice.” The Gemora (Berochos 45a) der ives from this pasuk the principle that that an interpreter should not speak more loudly than the reader whose words he is translating. Tosafos immediately ask the obvious question: from that pasuk we see actually see the opposite: that the reader should n ot speak more loudly than the interpreter. We know, says Rav Levi Yitzchok, that Moshe’s nevua (prophecy) was different from that of the other nevi’im (prophets) in that “the Shechina was speaking through Moshe’s throat”. This means that the interpretation of the nevuos of the other nevi’im is not dependent on the comprehension of the people who hear it. The nevua arrives in this world in the mind of the novi and passes through the filter of his perspectives. The resulting message is the essence of the nevua. When Moshe prophesied, however, it was as if the Shechina spoke from his throat directly to all the people on their particular level of understanding. Consequently, his nevuos were directly accessible to all people. In this sense then, Moshe was the rea der of the nevua , and Hashem was the interpreter.

Indeed, it is not only the experience of the ceremonies of the Chag that make them exciting. Rather, when we analyze, consider and discuss why we do what we do when we do it, we become more aware of the purposes of the Mitzvos and the holiday and become closer to Hashem in the process. In the days of old, the public shiurim of Yom Tov were a major part of the celebration. The give and take the part of the day for Hashem, it set a tone – חצי לה' enhanced not only the part of the day identified as the half of the day set aside for celebration in eating and enjoyment of a חצי לכם for the other half, the different nature. Meals could be enjoyed where conversation would surround “what the Rabbi spoke about” and expansion on those ideas would be shared and discussed with everyone present, each at his or her own level. Unfortunately, with the difficulties presented by the current COVID-19 pandemic, many might not be able to make it to Shul, many Rabbis might not be able to present the same Derashos and Shiurim to all the different minyanim under their auspices.
