A look back at the period of Chagim and the significance of Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah.

During Tishrei there is an extra focus on meals and food. This is a good time to think about modeling healthy relationships with food and to raise awareness about eating disorders in the Jewish community. After Karen's Torah thoughts on the physical and spiritual side of sustenance, she interviews psychotherapist Aliza Levitt Gillman about building positive relationships with our bodies and food.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #37, which is to rest from work on the holiday of Shemini Atzeret.This mitzvah applies to the 22nd day of Tishrei (the seventh month of the year). This is the day immediately after the last and seventh day of Sukkot. Outside of Israel, it also applies to 23rd day of Tishrei.It is called the "eighth day," because it is the day after the seventh day of Sukkot. However, it is a completely distinct holiday from Sukkot.Other than the date, this mitzvah is identical to positive mitzvah #25, which is to rest from work on the first day of Passover. Similar to the first day of Pesach,  food related melachot (work activities) are permitted on Shemini Atzeret, which is referred to as ochel nefesh.This mitzvah concludes a series of mitzvot that are to rest on specific days:Positive #20 - To Rest from Work on ShabbatPositive #25 - To Rest from Work on the First Day of PassoverPositive #27 - To Rest from Work on the Seventh Day of PassoverPositive #28 - To Rest from Work on ShavuotPositive #29 - To Rest from Work on Rosh HashanaPositive #31 - To Rest from Work on Yom KippurPositive #34 - To Rest from Work on the First Day of SukkotPositive #37 - To Rest from Work on Shemini Atzeret

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #36, which is to take the four species during the holiday of Sukkot.What are the four species?Citron / etrogPalm tree branch / lulavMyrtle branches / hadasimWillow branches / aravotWhen does this mitzvah apply?This mitzvah applies during daytime only, not at night.In the Beit Hamikdash, it applies to all seven days of Sukkot.  Elsewhere, the Biblical obligation is only on the first day of Sukkot. (Sukkot is the seven-day holiday that begins on the 15th day of Tishrei.)However, after the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash, our Sages enacted that everyone should take the four species for all seven days of Sukkot. Also, we don't take them on Shabbat.How is "to take the four species" defined?The minimum requirement is to hold all four species, bring them together, and lift.We recite a blessing beforehand.They should be held in the position that they grow, right-side up.As part of our prayers, we move the species in six directions (north, east, south, west, up, & down).

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #35, which is to dwell in a sukkah during the holiday of Sukkot.What is a sukkah?It is a hut or a booth, with a minimum of three walls and a roof of sechach, made of branches. In the podcast, we discuss additional details. When is the holiday of Sukkot?Beginning on the 15th day of Tishrei, lasting for seven days, through the end of the 21st day of TishreiThere is an additional requirement to eat bread specifically in the sukkah on the first night of Sukkot. Outside of Israel, this additional requirement applies to the the second night, as well.How is "to dwell" defined?The sukkah should take the place of your primary residence for the week of Sukkot. Anything that one typically does in their home should be done in the sukkah.This includes eating, drinking, spending time, lounging, reading, and sleeping, assuming it is safe and normal weather conditions.Why do we have this mitzvah?After the Exodus from Egypt, the Jewish people were in the desert for 40 years. During the journey, the Jewish people were exposed to the elements and the heat of the desert, which was extremely dangerous. However, God provided shade for us in the form of sukkot. We commemorate this through this mitzvah.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #34, which is rest from work on the first day of Sukkot.This mitzvah applies to the 15th day of Tishrei (the seventh month of the year). Outside of Israel, it also applies to the second day of Sukkot, or the 16th day of Tishrei.This holiday is 5 days after Yom Kippur.Other than the date, this mitzvah is identical to positive mitzvah #25, which is to rest from work on the first day of Passover. Similar to the first day of Pesach,  food related melachot (work activities) are permitted on the first day of Sukkot, which is referred to as ochel nefesh. 

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #32, which is to fast on the holiday of Yom Kippur.This mitzvah applies to the 10th day of Tishrei (the seventh month of the year). The Torah states that we should "afflict" our souls on Yom Kippur. Our Sages interpret that to mean that we should fast, that is no food or drink.There are four additional afflictions: No marital relations are forbiddenNo wearing leather shoesNo washing or bathingNo anointing oneself with oilsIt is a matter of dispute whether these four additional activities are prohibited at the same Torah level as fasting, or if they are Rabbinic enactmentsOur Sages teach that by eating on the 9th day of Tishrei, one prepares for a successful fast, thus it will be considered as though he or she fasted for two days

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #31, which is to rest from work on the holiday of Yom Kippur.This mitzvah applies to the 10th day of Tishrei (the seventh month of the year). Similar to Shabbat, the mitzvah is to rest from all melachot (work activities). The podcast on positive mitzvah #20 delves deeper into this topic and defines the prohibited melachot .Yom Kippur is a day of atonement. On this day, we introspect, review our actions, and ask for forgiveness - both from God and from other people. On this day, we make commitments to improve our actions and be better people going forward.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #30, which is to hear the sound of the Shofar on Rosh Hashana.This mitzvah applies to the 1st day of Tishrei (the seventh month of the year), beginning at sunrise. Both inside and outside of Israel, the Sages extended this holiday for a second day, so it is observed on the 1st and 2nd days of Tishrei.A shofar is a ram's horn.In the podcast, we delve into the various sounds of the shofar and comprehensively list all the shofar blasts that are incorporated in our prayers.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #29, which is rest from work on the holiday of Rosh Hashana.This mitzvah applies to the 1st day of Tishrei (the seventh month of the year). Both inside and outside of Israel, the Sages extended this holiday for a second day, so it is observed on the 1st and 2nd days of TishreiSimilar to other yamim tovim, food related melachot (work activities) are permitted, which is referred to as ochel nefesh. The podcast on positive mitzvah #25 delves deeper into this topic.Based on our tradition, Rosh Hashana is a day of judgment. On this day, each and every person is judged and evaluated. Each and every one of our actions are inspected and judged.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #28, which is rest from work on the holiday of Shavuot.This mitzvah applies to the 6th day of Sivan (the third month of the year). Outside of Israel, it also applies to the 7th day of Sivan.Other than the date, this mitzvah is identical to positive mitzvah #25, which is to rest from work on the first day of Passover. Similar to the first day of Pesach,  food related melachot (work activities) are permitted on Shavuot, which is referred to as ochel nefesh. Shavuot is the 50th day from the beginning of the Sefirat Ha'Omer (positive mitzvah #26). It is called "Shavuot," or "weeks," because the holiday is at the culmination of seven complete weeks of the Sefirat Ha'Omer.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #27, which is rest from work on the Seventh Day of Passover.This mitzvah applies to the 21st day of Nissan, which is the seventh day of Passover. Outside of Israel, it also applies to the 22nd day of Nissan.Other than the date, this mitzvah is identical to positive mitzvah #25, which is to rest from work on the first day of Passover. Similar to the first day of Pesach,  food related melachot (work activities) are permitted on the seventh day of Pesach, which is referred to as ochel nefesh. Our Sages teach that on the seventh day of Passover, the Red Sea split, the Egyptian army collapsed, and the Jewish people were finally freed from slavery.The days between the first and seventh days of Passover are known as Chol HaMoed.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #25, which is rest from work on the First Day of Passover.This mitzvah applies to the 15th day of Nissan, which is the first day of Passover. Outside of Israel, it also applies to the second day of Passover.This mitzvah is similar to positive mitzvah #20, which is to rest from work on Shabbat. However, there is one very important difference - food related melachot (work activities) are permitted on the first day of Pesach, which is referred to as ochel nefesh. For example, one is allowed to cook or bake on the first day of Pesach. Similarly, one is allowed to carry their food from one house to another on the first day of Pesach.There are some exceptions to this ochel nefesh, which are discussed on the podcast.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #26, which is count the 49 days, or the seven weeks, of the Sefirat Ha'Omer. The mitzvah is to count both the days and the weeks. For example, on the 20th day of the Sefirat Ha'Omer, one would say: "Today is the 20th day of the Omer, which is 2 weeks and 6 days."This is because there are two verses in the Torah: one to count weeks and another to count days. Therefore, we count both the days and weeks.The mitzvah to count begins on the evening of the 16th day of Nissan, which is the beginning of the second night of Passover. This date is the same for both inside and outside of Israel.The mitzvah is to count 49 days. The 50th day is the holiday of Shavuot, which we will mention in the upcoming positive mitzvah #28.In the podcast, we discuss the terminology of the blessing and the meaning of the word "omer."

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #24, which is to tell about the Exodus from Egypt on the first night of Passover, which is the evening of the 15th of Nissan.The mitzvah is to tell over the story of Exodus from Egypt, from beginning to end, with as many details as possible. This mitzvah applies even to people who already know the story. The more, the better!This mitzvah applies on the evening of 15th day of Nissan, which is the first night of Passover. Outside of Israel, it also applies to the second night of Passover.Even though the Torah states that one should tell over the story to his son, that is just an example of how to fulfill this mitzvah. Indeed, one should tell the story over to his daughters, friends, siblings, parents, guests, and anyone who is present at the seder. Even if one is sitting alone, they should still tell over the story to themselves.The Torah states this mitzva four separate times, with a slightly different wording each time. Our Sages learn from this an important educational / pedagogical lesson -- there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to education. Each child learns in a different way. The parents are tasked with adjusting their teaching style to cater to each child's needs. Parents should engage, excite, and involve their child in this mitzvah.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #23, which is to eat matzah on the first night of Passover, which is the evening of the 15th of Nissan.Matzah is unleavened bread, which is when one of the five grains (wheat, barley, spelt, oats, rye) are mixed with water and baked in less than 18 minutes. The matzah is not given enough time to rise.This mitzvah applies on the evening of 15th day of Nissan, which is the first night of Passover. Outside of Israel, it also applies to the second night of Passover.Before eating the matzah, there is a specific blessing to be recited: "al achilat matzah"To increase one's appetite for matzah when performing this mitzvah, the Sages enacted that one should not eat matzah on the eve of Passover.

In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #21, which is to be happy during the Holidays of Pesach (Passover), Shavuot, and Sukkut.During the times of the Beit HaMikdash, one would offer an additional sacrifice, which would mostly be eaten by its owners. This was a way of partaking in an enjoyable meals.Nowadays, in the absence of the Beit HaMikdash, one fulfills this mitzva by eating enjoyable foods and drinks, such as meat and wine.A man should buy his wife a gift to increase her happiness on the Holiday, such as clothing.Parents should buy their children special items, such as sweets or toys.One should give charity to help those who are less fortunate also to fulfill this mitzva and enjoy the Holiday.As always, everything should be done in moderation. A person should not engage in overindulgence and drunkenness.
