Podcasts about Hames

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** The Shulhan Aruch (Siman 467) discusses a case in which a kernel of wheat was discovered in a pot of rice or other dish cooked on Pesah. The status of the rice depends on whether the wheat kernel appears to have already become Hames. Therefore, if it is completely closed, showing no sign of swelling or cracking, Maran is lenient. The wheat should be removed and burnt, whereas the rice and the pot are permitted for use. Ashkenazim are strict in this case. However, if the wheat kernel is cracked, it is Hames. Even though the taste of wheat emitted into the cooked rice is miniscule in comparison to the amount of rice, Hames on Pesah is forbidden even "B'MasheHu"-in a minute amount. Therefore, the rice, pot and spoon used to stir are all considered Hames. Hacham Ovadia discusses an interesting case, in which, after being discovered, the kernel of wheat was subsequently lost before it could be determined whether the wheat was closed or cracked. In such a case, Hacham Ovadia is lenient based on a "Safek Safeka"-a double doubt. If the wheat was found on the last day of Pesah, Hacham Ovadia rules that one should wait until after Pesah to ask the Rabbi whether the rice is forbidden as Hames that passed through Pesah. At that time, Hames does not cause the rest of the mixture to become prohibited in such a miniscule amount.

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** If a gentile comes into a Jew's home on Pesah with Hames, the Jew is not required to send him out of the home. A common example of such a case is a non-Jewish workman or electrician who comes to do repairs. If he brings Hames food with him, the Jew may allow him to remain in the home, and is not required to ask him to leave. Even though the Torah formulates the prohibition of Hames with the term "Lo Yera'eh" ("it shall not be seen"), the complete phrase is "Lo Yera'eh Lecha" ("it shall not be seen to you"), which our Sages interpreted as referring specifically to Hames which one personally owns. It is not forbidden to have in one's home Hames owned by a non-Jew, and thus if a non-Jewish repairman shows up in one's home on Pesah with Hames, he may be permitted to remain. Nevertheless, it is preferable, when possible, to avoid this situation, as there is the risk that the non-Jew may leave crumbs on the table that may reach one's food. Furthermore, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in his work Rab Pe'alim (2:55), cites authorities who held that the aforementioned Halacha applies only to raw Hametz dough. According to these Poskim, although one may allow a gentile to bring dough into his home on Pesah, one may not allow baked Hametz products in his home. It is thus preferable to avoid this situation, and to respectfully ask the gentile not to bring Hametz products into the home. If, however, a non-Jewish worker did bring Hametz into the home on Pesah, no violation has been committed, and the Jew should simply clean and ensure that no crumbs were left. Summary: If a non-Jew will be coming to one's home during Pesah, such as a workman who comes to do repairs, it is preferable to respectfully ask that he does not bring Hametz into the home, but strictly speaking, the non-Jew may be allowed to enter the home with Hametz, as long as one ensures to remove any crumbs that are left.

A person should ensure to sell his Hames to a gentile before Pesah even though he thoroughly searches his home, eliminates all Hames that he finds, and makes the Bittul declaration renouncing ownership over any Hames. The sale is necessary in case he owns some medications or cosmetics that contain Hames, or in case there is some other Hames in his possession of which he is unaware. The Sages enacted a provision forbidding deriving benefit from Hames that was owned by a Jew during Pesah. Even after Pesah, it is forbidden to derive any benefit from Hames that a Jew had owned during the holiday. This is a penalty imposed by the Sages upon those who keep Hames in their possession over Pesah. Therefore, if a supermarket is owned by a Jew and he does not sell the Hames in the store to a gentile before Pesah, it is forbidden to purchase from that store any of the Hames that it had owned during Pesah. One must therefore determine which stores are Jewish-owned, and which Jewish owners sell the Hames to a gentile before Pesah. Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv (contemporary) addresses the situation of a non-observant Jew who owns a supermarket and formally signs the sale document only so that he could retain his kosher certification. Rav Elyashiv rules (listen to audio recording for precise citation) that since this owner does not sincerely intend to sell his Hames to a gentile, but rather simply goes through the motions, the sale is not valid. Therefore, it is forbidden to purchase Hames from such a store after Pesah. Rav Elyashiv adds that it is forbidden to buy Hames from this store even to feed young children. He advises in such a situation that a clause be added to the sale document stating that the sale is done in accordance with the country's laws. Once the sale is binding according to civil law, the storekeeper clearly intends to transfer ownership over the Hames, and hence the Mechirat Hames is valid. It is preferable when selling the Hames to either tell the gentile or write in the document where the key to the premises is located. Since the Hames becomes owned by the gentile, he should have access to it, which requires access to the key. When one sells his Hames to a gentile through the agency of a Rabbi, as is the customary practice, it is not necessary to make a Kinyan (formal act of affirmation) with the Rabbi. It suffices to verbally or in writing authorize the Rabbi to sell one's Hames on his behalf. This can be done via telephone, mail, e-mail, and so on. This Halacha is based upon the ruling of the Rambam (Rabbi Moshe Maimonides, Spain-Egypt, 1135-1204), who held that a Kinyan is not necessary when appointing somebody as one's agent. One does not have to sell the particles of Hames in the walls of his pots and other utensils. This Hames does not fall under the prohibition against owning Hames, and therefore it does not have to be included in the sale of one's Hames. Mechirat Hames is done by selling to the gentile the space where the Hames is located. The sale document states that the gentile assumes ownership over the area where the Hames is situated, and then by extension he acquires the Hames, as well. In light of this, we might, at first glance, question whether one can sell his Hames to a gentile if he lives in a rented residence. Since he is not the owner, he seemingly does not have the legal power to sell any part of the residence. In truth, however, as Rav Elyashiv writes, it is legitimate to sell one's Hames to a gentile even if he lives in a rented residence. Since it is obvious that the gentile will not come and move in to the property, it can be assumed that the landlord does not object to the sale, and allows the tenant to proceed with the Mechirat Hames. It often happens that one will want access during Pesah to the room where the sold Hames is stored. In such a case, it is proper to include in the sale document a stipulation to this effect. Since the gentile becomes the owner over the area where the Hames is kept, it should be made clear from the outset that the seller will continue to enjoy the right to access to the room in question. Mechirat Hames affects only the Hames that one has in his possession at the time when the sale takes effect. If Hames comes into his possession at some point during Pesah, it is not included in the sale, and he is therefore in violation of the prohibition against owning Hames on Pesah. Some people order bread from non-Jewish bakeries before the final days of Pesah, and the bakeries deliver the products on the last day of Pesah. If this happens, he must not accept the delivery, because if he does, he violates the prohibition of Hames. Since that bread was not sold to a gentile, if it comes into his possession he will be in violation of this prohibition. One should therefore ensure that no Hames will be delivered until after Pesah. Rav Moshe Sternbuch (contemporary) records a custom to pay the Rabbi a small amount of money when one comes to him for Mechirat Hames. The reason for this custom is that if the Rabbi is paid for the service, he will see himself as the individual's "employee," hired to sell his Hames on his behalf. This will ensure that the Rabbi will follow through on this responsibility and properly execute the sale as required.

The situation of Erev Pesah occurring on Shabbat affects a number of different aspects of the pre-Pesah schedule. These changes begin with the observance of Shabbat Hagadol (literally, "the Great Shabbat"), which we normally observe on the Shabbat immediately preceding Pesah. Several different customs are practiced on this Shabbat, most notably the "Derasha" (lecture) delivered by the Rabbi of every community consisting of insights into the Haggada and practical instruction concerning the Pesah celebration. When the Shabbat immediately preceding Pesah is Erev Pesah, delivering the Derasha on this day obviously does not allow the congregation time to apply the material as they make their Pesah preparations. Hence, it is customary on such years to observe Shabbat Hagadol a week earlier, so that the people will learn the relevant material while there is still time to implement it. Generally, the day of Erev Pesah is also observed as "Ta'anit Bechorim" – the Fast of the Firstborn. All firstborn males are required on this day to either fast or to absolve themselves of fasting by participating in a "Se'udat Misva" (meal involving a Misva), such as a Siyum (completion of a Talmudic tractate). When Erev Pesah occurs on Shabbat, of course, the fast cannot be held on Erev Pesah. Some communities observe Ta'anit Bechorim on Friday in such a case, whereas others – including our community – observe Ta'anit Bechorim on Thursday. (The Steipler Gaon reportedly observed Ta'anit Bechorim on both Thursday and Friday in this case.) Therefore, when Erev Pesach occurs on Shabbat, firstborns must make a point of participating in a Siyum on the previous Thursday in order to absolve themselves of the obligation to fast. Bedikat Hames (the search for Hames) normally takes place on the night before Erev Pesah. When Erev Pesah falls on Shabbat, however, the Bedika is performed on Thursday night. One follows the same procedure for Bedikat Hames as in regular years, including the recitation of the Beracha. Bi'ur Hames (the burning of the Hames), which is normally performed on the morning of Erev Pesah, is, in a case where Erev Pesah falls on Shabbat, performed on Friday morning. In such a situation, however, one omits the "Kal Hamira" declaration which is normally recited when burning the Hames, whereby one renounces ownership over any remaining Hames. Since one will still eat Hames on Friday and Shabbat morning, one cannot renounce his ownership over his Hames at this point. This declaration is therefore made only on Shabbat morning, after one has eaten all the Hames he plans to eat before Hames becomes forbidden.

When Erev Pesah occurs on Shabbat, we burn the Hames on Friday morning (as opposed to ordinary years, when we burn the Hames on the morning of Erev Pesah). The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 444) rules that in such a case, one must ensure to leave some bread for the Shabbat meals. As Hames does not become forbidden until several hours into the day on Shabbat morning, one is obligated to partake of bread as part of his Shabbat meals – as on a normal Shabbat – both on Friday night and Shabbat morning. At the same time, however, one must ensure not to save more Hames than he will need for his Shabbat meals, as this might create some difficulty in terms of ridding the home of Hames by the time the Hames prohibition takes effect on Shabbat morning. The meals eaten on this Shabbat should be completely Kosher for Pesah; the food should be prepared, served and eaten with Pesah utensils. However, at the beginning of the meal, one should cover the table with a tablecloth, recite Ha'mosi and eat bread to fulfill the obligation of the Shabbat meal. It is preferable to use Pita bread, which generally does not leave crumbs. After one eats the required amount of bread, he should carefully remove the tablecloth so that no crumbs fall to the floor, and then discard the tablecloth. It must be emphasized that although technically speaking the presence of small crumbs may not violate the Hames prohibition, one should nevertheless avoid leaving crumbs out of consideration to the wife, who exerted immense effort cleaning the home for Pesah. After removing the tablecloth used for eating bread, one should then set the table with Pesah utensils and eat the rest of the meal. This procedure should be followed on Shabbat morning, as well. In order to ensure to eat bread before the time Hames becomes forbidden, one should recite the morning prayers early Shabbat morning. It is therefore customary for services to be held in the synagogue very early on Shabbat Erev Pesah, either at sunrise or shortly thereafter. Upon completing the Shabbat morning meal, one should rinse his mouth to remove any residual Hames; according to some authorities, it is permissible to brush one's teeth on Shabbat, while other Rabbis forbid doing so. Any leftover Hames should be either flushed away or brought outside to the trash, at which point one should recite the "Kal Hamira" declaration as it is normally recited on Erev Pesah.

When Erev Pesah falls on Shabbat, one should preferably recite "Minha Gedola," meaning, he should recite Minha during the early afternoon hours. Halacha forbids eating meals late in the afternoon on Erev Pesah, in order that one will sit down to the Seder with an appetite. As such, when Erev Pesah falls on Shabbat, one must eat Se'uda Shelishit (the third meal) early in the afternoon, and thus Minha should also be recited early. On the afternoon of Erev Pesah, the prohibition against eating Hames already applies, and it is likewise forbidden to eat Masa. Therefore, on Shabbat Erev Pesah, one may, according to the strict Halacha, eat other foods (besides bread) for Se'uda Shelishit, such as fruit, salads, meat and rice (according to the Sephardic custom allowing eating rice on Pesah). Some, however, boil or fry Masa before Shabbat and eat it for Se'uda Shelishit. (One recites Ha'mosi over boiled or fried Masa.) Another custom is to partake of Egg Masa for Se'uda Shelishit on Shabbat Erev Pesah, however is must be noted that if one is eating Egg Massa for Se'uda Shelishit he can not eat more that 2oz if eating after 4:10 NY time this year 5781/2021. As mentioned, however, strictly speaking one may partake of other foods, even though on ordinary Shabbatot one's Se'uda Shelishit should include bread. On the afternoon of Shabbat Erev Pesah one should recite the text of "Seder Korban Pesah" which is printed in many Siddurim and Haggadot. This text consists of passages from the Humash and Mishna that outline the procedure for the Korban Pesah – the paschal offering that was brought on Erev Pesah during the times of the Bet Ha'mikdash. Nowadays, when we cannot actually perform this Misva, we commemorate the Korban Pesah by reciting this text, so that through our study we will be considered as though we actually brought the sacrifice. One should recite this text on Shabbat Erev Pesah after Minha, either before or after Se'uda Shelishit. (The text is available for download from www.dailyhalacha.com, by clicking 'Download Special Tefilot' on the left of the home page.) As mentioned, one should not eat substantial amounts of food late in the afternoon, so that he will have an appetite for the Seder. When Shabbat ends, women should recite, "Baruch Ha'mavdil Ben Kodesh Le'kodesh" and then light the Yom Tov candles. Halacha forbids kindling a new flame on Yom Tov, and therefore one must light the Yom Tov candles from a preexisting flame, such as a pilot light or a candle that had been lit before Shabbat. When lighting the candles a woman recites the Beracha, "Asher Kideshanu Be'misvotav Ve'sivanu Le'hadlik Ner Shel Yom Tov." Our practice is not to recite "She'he'heyanu" at the time of Yom Tov candle lighting. After a woman lights the Yom Tov candles, she may begin making the preparations for the Seder.

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** The Shulhan Aruch (Siman 452) rules that one may Kosher utensils for Pesah with Ha'agalah, even if they were used in the last twenty-four hours, so long as he does so before the fifth hour on Ereb Pesah. However, Maran continues (452:2) and adds that one should not dip a meat and milk utensil together into the same Ha'agalah water, if they were both used within the last twenty-four hours. The reason is that the meat and milk flavor absorbed in the spoons will be extracted in the boiling water and combine there to form a prohibited taste. If one of the utensils had a Pagum (impaired) taste, i.e. it was not used in the last day, then it is permitted to dip both utensils together. In the event one did dip both utensils together, it is permitted, B'divavad, after the fact. ------- Technically, a non-Jew may dip the utensils in the Ha'agalah vat, as long as a knowledgeable Jew is supervising. However, the Yalkut Yosef cites the Kav Hayashar that according to the Kabbalah, when one purges his utensils of Hames, he is actually purging his soul from sin, and therefore it is preferable that he does it himself. ------- Hacham Yishak Yosef emphasizes in Yalkut Yosef that there is no reason to be stringent and not rely on Ha'agalah. It is perfectly legitimate and restores utensils to a complete Kosher for Pesah status. Therefore, there is no reason to go out and buy new utensils for Pesah instead of Koshering the old ones. SUMMARY 1. One should not Kosher meat and milk utensils simultaneously unless at least one of them is "Eno Ben Yomo"-hasn't been used in twenty-four hours. If one did so, it is permitted B'divavad. 2. One should preferably dip his own vessels into the boiling water, and not use a non-Jew. 3. Koshering utensils with Ha'agalah is L'chathila.

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** To use a vessel on Pesah that was used during the year for Hames, it must first undergo koshering through Hag'ala, which literally means to extract or purge the Hames that has been absorbed in the vessel. The method of extraction depends on how the vessel was used. The famous rule of the Gemara is "K'bol'o Kach Polto"- the way the vessel absorbed Hames is the way it extracts. That is, if the vessel was used only with fire without water, it must be made Kosher with fire. If it was used with boiling water, then it must be extracted through boiling water. The type of extraction is based on "Rov Tashmisho"-the majority type of use. For example, it is possible that a fork was used directly with Hames in the fire, but the majority of times the fork was used to stir liquid in a pot. Therefore, it is sufficient to Kosher the fork with boiling water. The question is how can the lesser form of extraction, boiling, work, if even one time it was used directly in the fire? The Rama MiPano (R. Menachem Azaria, 1548-1620, Italy) says in his Responsa (97) that he was asked this question by his students. One answer he brings from the scholars in the Yeshiva is that this rule is limited to cases in which there is only a possibility that it was used directly in the fire, but if there was even one certain instance, it would require extraction via fire. The Rama MiPano brings proof that this rule of the majority applies even to cases in which it was certainly used with fire. Therefore, he offers a new answer to the question and says that the rule applies only to cases in which the vessel hasn't been used in the last 24 hours, i.e. it is not "Ben Yomo, and therefore by Torah law any Hames absorbed in the vessel is already "Pagum"-lost its effectiveness. Since it only needs koshering by Rabbinic law, "Hem Amru V'Hem Amru"-they instituted the problem and they determined the solution, whereby the extraction follows the majority use of the vessel. This approach is also taken by the Peri Hadash ((Rav Hizkiya Da Silva, 1656-1695) It follows that if the vessel had been used for Hames in the last 24 hours, then it would be koshered according to the strictest use done with it, even if only one time. In short, by waiting 24 hours since the vessel was used with Hames, the vessel may be koshered with the method based on its majority use.

The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 440) addresses the question of whether one may allow a non-Jew to enter his home on Pesah with Hames. Does the Torah prohibition against owning Hames require one to prevent a non-Jew from bringing his own Hames into the Jew's home during Pesah? The Shulhan Aruch notes the Halachic principle "Shelecha I Ata Ro'eh Abal Atah Ro'eh Shel Aherim" – the prohibition against having Hames in one's possession during Pesah applies only to a Jew's own Hames. There is no prohibition at all against seeing a non-Jew eating Hames on Pesah, or having a non-Jew bring his Hames into one's home on Pesah. Therefore, if one needs some kind of repair done in his home during Pesah that is necessary for the Yom Tob, and he calls a non-Jewish worker – such as a plumber or electrician – he does not have to prevent the worker from bringing Hames into the home. Of course, if the worker left crumbs, they should be swept and discarded, but there is no need to prevent the worker from bringing Hames into the home. For that matter, the Jew may allow the non-Jewish worker to eat his Hames food in his home. Even if the worker brings a pizza or a sandwich, he is allowed to eat his food at the table in the Jew's home. The table should then be thoroughly cleaned after the non-Jew finishes eating so that it may be used later by the Jew. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) adds, however, that the Jew should not eat at the table with the non-Jew in such a case, due to the possibility of a crumb of Hames going into the Jew's food. Even if the Jew eats on a separate plate, and even if there is some divider between them, it is impossible to ensure that no crumbs from the non-Jew's Hames food will fly into the Jew's food. (The Mishna Berura adds that even if one appoints somebody to stand there and make sure he does not mistakenly partake of the non-Jew's Hames, this does not prevent crumbs from getting into his food.) Therefore, although the gentile is allowed to eat his Hames meal in the Jew's home, the Jew should not sit and eat with him. Practically speaking, of course, we ensure not to allow any Hames into the home during Pesah. Nevertheless, if it happens that a non-Jewish worker is in the home and wants to eat his Hames, he should be allowed to do so, as discussed. Summary: If a non-Jew comes into a Jew's home during Pesah – such as in the case of a non-Jewish repairman – the non-Jew should be allowed to bring his food into the home and even eat it in the home, even if it includes Hames. The Jew should not eat together with the non-Jew in such a case, and the table must be thoroughly cleaned after the non-Jew finishes eating.

Ashkenazim have the custom not to eat "Kitniyot"-various beans and legumes on Pesah. The earliest authority to record this custom is the SaMaK, (Sefer Misvot Katan by Rabbi Yishak of Corbeil, 13th century) who lived 750 years ago. The reason he gives is that these foods can be confused with Hames grains, such as wheat. Just as wheat can be ground into flour, so too corn and lentils can also be dried and made into flour. Interestingly, he also includes mustard seed in the list of "Kitniyot." Even though it is not made into flour, nevertheless, it grows in pods and could also be mistaken for wheat. In later generations, the Ashkenazi Poskim discuss whether other foods, such as coffee beans, peanuts and quinoa, would also be considered "Kitniyot." Rav Shlomo Amar and Rav Moshe Feinstein rule that any food that wasn't known in the Western world at the time of the original institution of the Gezera was not included in the custom. There was a controversy with regard to whether potatoes are considered "Kitniyot." Some held that since they were common at the time of the Gezera, and they can also be used to produce starch, they should be included in the custom. Nevertheless, the predominant custom is for Ashkenazim to use potatoes on Pesah. These Halachot are relevant for a Sepharadi who hosts an Ashkenazi on Pesah. One should only serve an Ashkenazi guest foods that are not Kitniyot. However, there is no problem using the same pots used to prepare Kitniyot. The Gezera did not extend to the taste emitted from the pots. SUMMARY An Ashkenazi guest should only be served non-Kitniyot foods on Pesah.

With everyone still in the hazy afterglow of Oscar, I opted to prerecord this episode of BEHIND THE LENS with two brand new exclusive interviews for you with MARK BRISTOL talking ACCIDENTAL TEXAN and JAMES HAWES talking the powerful ONE LIFE. Fresh off the Kenergy of last nights 96th Academy Awards, I'm taking a look at some of the highs ("I'm Just Ken") and the lows (the In Memoriam segment) of the broadcast. And then we look ahead with some films that are part of the Oscars 2025 pack. First, you'll hear my exclusive interview with director MARK BRISTOL discussing his new film, the light, bright and heartfelt ACCIDENTAL TEXAN, starring Thomas Haden Church, Rudy Pankow, Carrie-Anne Moss, Bruce Dern, and a scene-stealing turn by Eddie the Cow. A fun film filled with heart, our conversation reflects the fun of the film itself. Then history comes to life thanks to director JAMES HAWES as we discuss his feature directorial debut with ONE LIFE. An acclaimed television filmmaker, James brings us the story of Sir Nicky Winton, a man who helped save 669 refugee children in Prague during WWII. Eloquent and sensitive in its telling, James and I cover the ins and outs of the "making of" and hear his thoughts on the timeliness and poignancy of the film's release given today's political and war-torn climate. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

La astrología como terapia Para algunos es un vil engaño, mientras que para otras personas no pueden salir de su casa si es que no leen su horóscopo, u otros no creen para nada en las constelaciones familiares, mientras otra parte se enfocan en sus cartas astrales, y creen en el karma.En el programa de ¡Ya es Hora! del martes 12 de diciembre tuvimos el tema de la astrología y cómo nos impacta en la vida de quienes comparten estas ideas, y para hablar del tema tuvimos como invitado al maestro Hames, quien es psicólogo y astrólogo.El maestro Hames nos puso en contexto sobre la historia de la astrología la cual deriva de alguna manera de la astronomía, de acuerdo con el maestro Hames, la astrología nos sirva para sanar, o sea una astrología terapéutica.#astrología #terapia  #karma #horóscopo #astronomía #terapéutica

Actress, Suzanne Sumers has died at the age of 76. The House of Representatives is getting closer to electing a new speaker, and it's most likely to be Jim Jordan. The Biden Administration has actually been helping Iran and Hames attack Israel, probably without realizing it. Republican leaders say that he needs to do something to stop it. Former President Trump says he will clean up Biden's mess once he takes office again. There are two lawsuits filed against Alvin Bragg. Also, on the program, I talk about how not only Democrats are destroying the country, but cities and states that they run. -Thank you for listening!-

His research interests are in behavioral ecology, food and labor exchange, human ecology, marriage, and kin and parental investment. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (anthropology section), past-president of the Evolutionary Anthropology Society of the American Anthropological Association, consulting editor for Human Nature, and for ten years he served as treasurer of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society.   In this episode, we talk about topics in evolutionary anthropology and human behavioral ecology. We first talk about male hunting, and what we can learn about human sociality by studying it. We discuss if hunting peoples are conservationists. We talk about the costs and benefits of monogamy and polygyny for women, and what explains polyandry. We discuss human warfare, the debate between the “deep-rooters” and the “shallow-rooters”, and Chagnon's argument that Unokai have more wives and children than others. We talk about male androphilia, its universality, and what explains it. We discuss the divide between the evolutionary and sociocultural subfields within anthropology, and address criticisms of evolutionary anthropology. Finally, we talk about the relationship between human behavioral ecology and evolutionary psychology. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Executive Director for the Wisconsin Wetlands Association, Tracy Hames, has a wealth of knowledge about Wisconsin's water supply and ecosystem. On this episode of the Cripescast, he and Charlie discuss wetland preservation from environmental and economic perspectives, and its impact on the average Wisconsinite. “We don't try to get people to like ducks and frogs and pretty flowers if they don't already like those things,” Hames explains. “Instead, we get them to care for wetlands because wetlands are important to maintaining the things they already care about.” He explains that hunting, fishing, and clean water are just a few of the many areas of our day to day life that are dependent on wetlands and urges the listeners to get out in the mud and start exploring.  For more information on what you can do in your community, visit wisconsinwetlands.org and get in the mud.

The Poskim discuss whether the same dishwasher may be used for meat and milk vessels, in separate loads. Hacham Yishak in Yalkut Yosef (Moadim II, Haga'alat Kelim) permits using the dishwasher on the condition that the dishes were rinsed well of all solid pieces of meat or milk. If only small traces of the food remain, the detergent in the dishwasher renders any remaining food "Pagum" (foul), and thereby avoids any problems of taste absorbed in the walls or racks of the dishwasher. The precedent for this is found in Maran who permits adding ashes to a mixture to prevent a prohibition of meat and milk. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Russia – New York, 1895-1986), in his Iggerot Moshe, also permits this use, although for different reasons. Technically, a dishwasher can be converted for Pesah use by cleaning and inspecting the grates for any traces of Hames. It is best to also run the dishwasher on an empty cycle to clean it out. SUMMARYA dishwasher may be used for consecutive loads of milk and meat dishes if the dishes were rinsed well before and soap is used in the dishwasher.

Across Minnesota and the nation, new and more diverse independent bookstores have been popping up. In fact, for every independent bookstore that has closed since 2020, more than three new ones have opened, according to the American Booksellers Association. It's part of a continuing trend jumpstarted by the pandemic, and each of these bookstores has a story of its own.  When Josh Hames saw the storefront up for lease in West St. Paul, he knew it was perfect for a bookstore. It was late at night, and the lights on the side of the building illuminated the old brick building. He could see the tall ceilings through the windows.   “It looked like the cover to ‘Needful Things' by Stephen King a little bit,” he said.   Hames, 30, opened Other Skies Weird Fiction in 2022, just in time for his favorite holiday: Halloween. The store sells high-quality editions of horror, sci-fi and imaginative fiction. Hames has been collecting these genres since he was 14, but the pandemic shutdown really clarified that passion. “We all had time to reflect on, what are the things that we really, really like to do when we go out? And for me I found that, even before the pandemic, I would always spend all my time looking for books, at Goodwill, thrift shops, estate sales. I was always out there buying books, and I thought, man, that's really important, I want to be a part of that,” he said. It turns out, others do, too, and Hames said he's been blown away by the community of readers who share his interest. A couple hundred miles to the northwest, in Detroit Lakes, Minn., Amy Erickson was feeling the lack of a bookstore in her town. The closest one was about a half-hour away, ever since the local Book World closed. “And when they closed, I said, ‘I don't know that I can live in a town without a bookstore.' It just felt wrong somehow,” Erickson said. Erickson was a 49-year-old stay-at-home mother of three. When the pandemic hit and her husband suddenly stopped traveling for work, they had some big family discussions. “And I said, you know, if I don't do this by the time I'm 50, I'm probably never going to do it,” she said. “I don't want to live knowing that I there was something that I wanted to do and I could do and I just didn't do it.” In May 2022, she took a leap of faith and launched Bluebird Books. It's a family affair: Her three teenage kids are now all old enough to work in the store, along with some of their friends.   “I love being surrounded by books all the time,” she said. “My favorite thing in the world is when someone walks back into the bookstore and says, ‘You recommended that book to me, and I absolutely loved it. What else? What other recommendations do you have?' That makes my heart happy.”  Bluebird Books and Other Skies Weird Fiction are two of the 15 new independent bookstores that have opened in Minnesota since March 2020. That's a big rise, and it's in line with a regional and national trend. Carrie Obry is the executive director of the Midwest Independent Booksellers Association. She credits the rise in part to Bookshop.org, the website that lets people buy books online and shares the profit with indie bookstores. She says having that online platform has democratized the bookselling industry.  “There's just a whole new influx of wonderful much-needed energy and diversity coming through our ranks of bookstore owners,” Obry said. There are challenges, of course, for any bookstore: competition for customers' time and attention, accelerating rent rates in an industry prone to low wages and supply chain issues.  Former educator Mary Taris never expected to open a bookstore. When she got fed up with not seeing enough great children's books by authors of color, she started Strive Publishing in 2018. She quickly found the need was far greater than a one-woman publisher could address. After the murder of George Floyd, Taris said Strive publishing was flooded with people wanting to write their own stories. “The civil unrest was a huge contributing factor in me kind of doubling down on my mission to elevate Black voices,” Taris said. She looked for partnerships, and she found space in the IDS building in downtown Minneapolis, tucked among other retailers in the Black-woman owned Sistah Co-op. The tiny Strive Bookstore struggled for foot traffic following its opening in the fall of 2021, but still, Taris saw an impact. “When Black people come in, they're like, ‘Wow, this is for us,'” she said. “And I even get more people who are inspired to write, you know, when they come into the bookstore, and just, it kind of feels like, the more I can do in the book space, the more our mission can come alive.” Working with the Minneapolis Downtown Council, she's about to open a second location in the historic Young Quinlan Building on Nicollet Avenue in downtown Minneapolis. The ribbon-cutting ceremony is Saturday, June 2. The 4,000-square-foot space has gotten some pre-opening customer praise: “‘Oh, wow, this is so beautiful!' That's what I hear,” she said. Taris can't wait to use the space to celebrate authors and cross-cultural communication. Because whatever the path they take to get there, for booksellers, there's no better feeling than getting the right book into a reader's hands.

The Halachot of using ovens and microwaves span both year round and Pesah. It is clearly prohibited to cook meat and milk simultaneously in a conventional oven. The Poskim discuss whether one may cook meat and milk consecutively, e.g. a meat dish today and a milk dish tomorrow. The issues is that the vapors from the meat dish are absorbed in the walls of the oven and will be released when cooking the milk dish. Following the principle of "K'bol'o Kach Polto"(the way in which it was absorbed is the way in which it is released), the only way to purge the meat from the oven is fire. Since it was absorbed through heat, it will be released by heat. Using a blowtorch on the walls of the oven would effectively neutralize any meat essence, but it is not feasible, since it may ruin the oven. Hacham Ovadia rules that it is sufficient to wait 24 hours in between the use of meat and milk and then burn out the oven by turning it on to a high temperature, while empty, for 15 minutes. If there are any drips or spills of food substance on the walls, they must be cleaned off. That combination of waiting and burning resets the status of the oven. This method of Koshering as known as "Libun Kal"-a minor burning out, which could ignite a piece of straw. Hacham Ovadia rules that it is sufficient here, even though Maran generally holds that a more intense burning, which emits sparks, is required. This leniency is based on several factors. First, the oven absorbed kosher food, "Hetera Balah"; i.e. the meat or dairy that was absorbed is only a problem when mixed together, but there is nothing intrinsically wrong with it. Furthermore, the meat that was absorbed is not the actual substance of the food, but merely the vapor. Of course, a self-cleaning oven is considered an even more intense method of purging the oven.According to this, if a woman cooked an uncovered dairy dish on Thursday night, she may not use the oven the next day to cook meat for Shabbat, because 24 hours have not elapsed. Therefore, one should pay attention to the time of cooking dairy on Thursdays. However, if the first dish is covered with aluminum foil, there is no issue of the vapors. Hacham Ovadia's approach is also lenient in respect to switching freely between milk and meat. This is in accordance with the Hida and the Peri Hadash who permit it, and disagree with the strict position of the Magen Abraham who was concerned that one may lose track of the status of the vessel. The question of using a microwave oven for meat and milk is contingent on whether its walls get hot. There seems to be a difference of opinion between the technicians on this matter. Hacham Ovadia concludes that to make a microwave Kosher for Pesah, one should boil soapy water for 15 minutes and the vapors will extract any Hames absorbed in the walls. He presents a lengthy discussion with proofs from the Maran and the Peri Megadim that vapors have the ability to extract. Regarding year-round use, one should always cover each dish he heats up with the special microwave plate cover. He should have three covers: Meat, dairy and Parve dishes. That way any vapors that escape the food are absorbed in the cover and not in the walls. If one heated up a food, e.g. pizza, without a cover, the microwave becomes dairy and may not be used for meat until it is koshered by boiling soapy water for 10 minutes inside of it. This is the conclusive practical Halacha, even though there were some Poskim who had a more lenient approach. This is also the method to kosher microwaves commonly found in hotel rooms: The microwave should be cleaned, the soapy water should be boiled, and then the kosher food may be heated using a plate cover (to be on the safe side). All of this assumes that a person has only one oven. If a person can have two separate ovens, that solves all the problems and is much easier. However, the Halacha does not require a person to own two ovens.SUMMARYIn order to use an oven for meat and milk consecutively, it must be totally clean of any drips or spills and then wait 24 hours and burn it empty on a high temperature for 15 minutes.A microwave must also be koshered between meat and dairy by boiling soapy water in it for 10 minutes.If the first dish was covered, there is no need to kosher the oven before cooking the next dish.
