YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE APRIL 2018 PAGE 7 SHAVING DURING SEFIRA RAV SOLOVEITCHIK’S UNCONVENTIONAL POSITION Rabbi Adam Frieberg: [email protected]

Our earliest sources make no mention of a ban on HaOmer period was attempting to mimic, Rav Soloveitchik haircuts during Sefirat HaOmer (the days between suggested that it was mimicking the most lenient period, Pesach and Shavuot). The Ritz Giat, a medieval the twelve month period that is only observed by a child commentator, for example, refers only to the prohibition mourning the loss of a parent. of getting married, though he permits getting engaged. He believed this to be the case as many of the activities The custom to refrain from having a haircut (tisporet, in we refrain from during Sefirat HaOmer: festive gatherings, hebrew) during the Omer period first appears in the Tur marriage, and hair cutting - are those that extend beyond (Orech Chaim 493). The Tur writes, “There are places the shloshim period of mourning. On the other hand, none that had the custom not to take a haircut, but you may cut of the prohibitions that last only thirty days are included in your hair on Lag B’Omer and onwards, as it is stated that our customary Sefirat HaOmer mourning. on that day (the students of Rebbe Akiva) stopped dying.” Having established that, Rav Soloveitchik looked to the It is notable that the Tur uses the word tisporet, which is laws of mourning during the twelve months and pointed usually associated with haircutting, and does not mention out that the prohibition of shaving and haircutting the word lehigalaiach, to shave. This begs the question: theoretically applies all twelve months. However, the did the custom of not cutting ones hair ever extend to the Talmud (Moed Kattan 22b) tells us that once a friend realm of not shaving? scolds you for looking unkempt, you may shave. The commentators then discuss whether a friend must actually Taking a quick look at Mesechet Smachot, a minor scold you, or whether having hair that is unkempt enough Talmudic tractate (also known as Evel Rabati) which that you know a friend would comment if people were not deals with the laws and customs of death and mourning, so polite these days, is enough of a reason to shave. A we find the following passage, “What are the laws secondary halachic conversation is whether a you much regarding refraining from haircutting [during the mourning reach that level each and every time you want to shave, period]? All thirty days [after the death of a relative, a or if once you have reached it once, you are now allowed mourner] is forbidden to cut their hair: both the hair on to shave for the remainder of the mourning period. Rav their head and their beard and all the hair that they have.” Soloveitchik posited that we can be lenient in both of those halachic conversations during Sefirat HaOmer, as we are only dealing with a minhag, and therefore once someone Having clearly seen that this Tanaic source does not looks bad, they can shave right away. This would distinguish between haircutting and shaving, and having obviously be more applicable to those who are clean- read the Tur, who stated that the custom was not to cut shaven and shave very often, perhaps daily, while those hair during the Sefirat HaOmer period, it seems that who are bearded may not have permission to shave shaving would be prohibited. throughout sefira as they may not look unkempt enough to be scolded by a friend within the thirty-three day period. Rav Soloveitchik, however, didn’t think that conclusion worked within his categorization of the minhagai availut Based on this, Rav Soloveitchik encouraged his students associated with Sefirat HaOmer. In general, Rav who were clean-shaven to look dignified as a ben Torah Soloveitchik liked to categorize halacha and didn’t should, and not scruffy, and shave as often as was believe that minhagim came out of nowhere. Rather, he necessary to look honorable. was convinced that they had to follow halachic categories that were previously established. Therefore, the minhagai availut that we practice during Sefirah HaOmer As you may have guessed, this position was not widely must be connected to the halachot of availut that a true accepted by others. mourner observes. (Rav Soloveitchik suggests the same paradigm regarding the mourning we observe on, and See this column next month for alternative approaches to that precedes, Tisha B’Av). In that realm, we are familiar this topic, including how the idea of honoring Shabbat with the fact that there are three stages of mourning for a plays a role in this conversation. parent: the shiva, the shloshim and the twelve month period, with each stage progressively getting less intense and therefore having fewer restrictions attached to it.

A: Rosh Chodesh Nissan officially ushers in the Spring season when we may recite Birkat Ha'Ilanot, the blessing upon seeing fruit trees in bloom. It is said only upon seeing a tree in bloom for the first time. The growth of leaves alone is not sufficient to allow one to say the blessing; there must be flowers (or buds, according to some authorities). One who saw fruit trees in bloom during Nissan, but forgot or neglected to recite the blessing, may then recite it only until the time that the fruit of the tree has (begun to have) grown. The blessing can be found in the Artscroll Siddur on page 228. This special blessing is recited only once a year. In it we praise G-d's ongoing renewal of creation.

Q: What bracha do I recite on craisins?

A: The bracha rishonah is borei pri ha'adamah.

Q: My friend recently borrowed a brand-new cookbook that I just bought. She was about to return it when she noticed that the pages were filled with smears from trying her hand at the recipes. I told her it is inevitable during regular use for it to get dirty, and that none of my older cookbooks have remained in pristine condition. She is insisting, however, on buying me a new book. While her gesture is nice, I was just wondering what her actual obligations would be according to Jewish law.

A: When the damaged item is still usable, one is not obligated to replace the item with a brand-new object. Rather, the owner keeps the damaged item, and the borrower would have to pay only the difference between how much it was worth before and after the damage.

Q: Can one ride a bicycle on Shabbat?

A: Rav Eliezer Waldenberg (Tzitz Eliezer 7:30) brings three reasons to prohibit bicycle riding on Shabbat: 1. One might ride out of the Eruv. 2. One might come to repair or fix if broken. 3. It's a daily activity not in the spirit of Shabbat. Harav Ovadia Yosef (in his Chazon Ovadia-Shabbat Part 4, page 43, as well as in his Responsa Yabia Omer Volume 10) writes that riding a bicycle on Shabbat is prohibited based on what the Gemara in Masechet Shabbat (113a) writes, “’If you shall turn away your foot because of the Shabbat-by not making your ways, your mode of walking on Shabbat should not be like your mode of walking during the weekdays.”

 Chametz After Pesach: The Torah forbids a Jew to own chametz on Pesach. In order to dissuade people from owning chametz on Pesach, there is a rabbinic injunction not to eat or benefit after Pesach from chametz which was owned by a Jew during Pesach. Such chametz is known as chametz sheovar olov haPesach, and it remains forbidden permanently. For this reason, one should not buy chametz from a Jewish-owned store immediately after Pesach, unless the owner sold all chametz that he owned before Pesach to a non-Jew for the duration of Pesach, and did not acquire any further chametz during Pesach. Since chametz sheovar olov haPesach is a rabbinic injunction, one can be lenient if there is a reasonable doubt as to whether or not the chametz was in the store on Pesach. Supermarkets generally have a two-week turnaround time. It should be assumed that all chametz sold in the two weeks after Pesach was already in the store on Pesach. Chametz after Pesach: Immediately after Pesach one may purchase Chametz from stores supervised by the O.R.B., and by other recognized Kashrut agencies. One may also purchase from: BJ’s, Costco, CVS, Dunkin Donuts on Stirling Road just west of the synagogue, Kmart, Petco, Petsmart, Publix, Trader Joe’s, Walgreens, Walmart, Whole Foods, Winn-Dixie.

Relations with Egypt Over the Years

This month, as we sit down to our Passover seders, we will recount the experience of living as a slave in Egypt. We will remember the pain of oppression and witnessing the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea. In great detail, we retell this ancient story and each year it always ends the same way: achieving our freedom and yearning to return to our homeland—Israel. Since this dramatic moment in Jewish history, relations with Egypt have experienced ups and downs. In recent years though, the relationship between Egypt and the Jewish state has been surprisingly positive—albeit still complex and not without its issues. Most people are familiar with the historical animus between Egypt and the modern state of Israel—the world’s most populous Arab nation and the world’s only Jewish state— that manifested in four wars and numerous other skirmishes. Egypt in fact spearheaded the 1956, 1967 and 1973 wars with Israel. But the mutually-beneficial relationship that has developed between the two former enemies over the years is much less well known.

The 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, signed in Washington, D.C., by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, has served as the foundation for bilateral relations to this day. And now, Israeli-Egyptian relations are stronger than at any time in history.

Common challenges and goals—ranging from counterterrorism and water and energy security, to combating Iran’s regional aggression—have helped solidify this unique partnership. Bilateral security, defense and intelligence cooperation are closer now than ever before, and are crucial to both countries’ security. Water and energy cooperation also continue to increase, and economic relations have been robust.

For example, both countries support Egypt’s goal of combating terrorism on the peninsula, which shares a 150-mile-plus border with Israel, and recent reports explain that Israel has allowed Egypt to increase its military presence in the Sinai Peninsula beyond what was permitted by previous agreements. Egyptian forces have also helped Israel stem the smuggling of weapons and other military equipment from the Sinai into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

Unfortunately, as with Israel’s relations with other Arab countries, much of the bilateral cooperation remains hidden from public view. Years of widespread indoctrination against the Jewish state have not prepared Arab publics for the sudden geopolitical shifts that helped catalyze these relationships. This has caused these mutually-beneficial alliances to remain somewhat fragile and complicated .

Yet even the few bits that are made public are quite enlightening: Israel’s stability and ingenuity— backed by a strong U.S.-Israel alliance—have increasingly led it to be seen as an ally of Egypt, rather than its enemy. Although the Egyptian-Israel relationship is by no means perfect, it is important to recognize and be thankful for how far we have come. #1BEST PAYROLL SERVICES
