I. ABOUT CHAMETZ E Prohibition E Prohibition Against Chametz on Pesach Is Founded in the Torah
WHILE WE HAVE PROVIDED A CONDENSED SET OF THE LAWS OF PESACH, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO VISIT THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTED WEBSITES FOR A MORE INCLUSIVE AND ALL ENCOMPASSING LIST OF THE LAWS. www.oukosher.org/passover http://www.crcweb.org/Passover2015.php http://www.star-k.org/cons-pesach.htm I. ABOUT CHAMETZ e Prohibition e prohibition against Chametz on Pesach is founded in the Torah. It commands every Jew: a.) not to eat or drink it, b.) not to own it, c.) not to possess it in their domain. e prohibition applies to even the slightest amount of Chametz because of the harshness of the penalty prescribed by the Torah - excision. Because Chametz is permissible aer Pesach - there can be no nullication during Pesach. e Rabbinic prohibition extends to the use even aer Pesach of Chametz which belonged to a Jew during Pesach. For this reason, Jewish owned food stores which do not sell their Chametz before Pesach should not be patronized for approximately a month a!er the holiday so that no Chametz product which belonged to them during Pesach would be consumed a!erwards. e Synagogue will have a list of approved food stores for aer Pesach. What Is Chametz? Chametz is a general term for all leavened foods forbidden on Passover. Foods and drinks made from wheat, oats, rye, spelt, barley, and derivatives of same are subject to the laws of Chametz. (Rye, whiskey, beer and vinegar are just a few examples of derivative foods that are Chametz.) e prohibition includes, as well, the taste of Chametz absorbed in food, utensils, or dishes. -

Laws of Medical Treatment on Shabbat
Laws of Medical Treatment on Shabbat Dov Karoll The permissibility of treatment of the ill on Shabbat varies from mandated and required even when numerous melachot would need to be violated, to permitted, provided it does not violate any melachot, to prohibited for the simple fact that it is medical treatment. What factors lead to such a great disparity? The primary, crucial distinction at work here is between medi- cal treatment that involves saving a life (piku’ach nefesh), which is permitted and even required, even if it means violating the normal rules of Shabbat, and providing medical treatment in other cases, regarding which the rules are more complex. When is medical treatment required even if it involves violating melachot? The Rambam is very clear on this issue:1 It is forbidden to delay in violating Shabbat for a person who is dangerously ill (choleh she-yesh bo sakkana), as it says [in the Gemara, based on a verse]: “[Regarding the laws of the Torah] ‘man shall fulfill them and live,’2 rather than fulfill them to die.”3 We learn from here that the laws of the Torah are not to 1 Hilchot Shabbat 2:3. This passage is also cited in Shemirat Shabbat Ke-Hilchatah at the beginning of his discussion of the laws of piku’ach nefesh on Shabbat (32:1). Translation mine. 2 Vayikra 18:5. 3 The verse is cited, and the law is derived, in the Gemara Yoma 85b, where this explanation of Rav Yehuda in the name of Shmuel is one of many sources provid- ed for the notion of saving lives overriding Shabbat observance (starting on 85a). -
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. -
Living with the a C Ho Lent Sha B B a T What's Cholent? Basically, It's a Stew That Cooks Overnight So There Can Be a Hot Meal on Shabbat Day
Shabbat Parshat Chukat-Balak Living with the A C ho lent Sha b b a t What's cholent? Basically, it's a stew that cooks overnight so there can be a hot meal on Shabbat day. The idea is this: the Torah tells us not to light a fire or cook on Shabbat. But we are allowed to let R eb b e something cook by itself, or to keep warm if it is already cooked. The Sages in the Talmud and the later legal responsa explain how Adapted from the works of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson to do this in accordance with Jewish law: essentially the fire must be lit and the food at least partially cooked before Shabbat starts. In This week's Torah portion, Balak, opens with the Children of addition, the fire has to be covered so that one wouldn't adjust the Israel encamped near the borders of Moab. Balak, the king of flame higher or lower. Adjusting the flame would, of course, be an Moab, hired the famous gentile prophet, Bilaam, to curse the act of cooking.

Instead of delivering curses, Bilaam was overcome the stove top, and a pot with cholent sitting on top. with a Divinely inspired mood of prophecy and perception of Why all of this preamble?
