Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Gemara (Shabbat 129a) teaches that one should ensure to purchase shoes for his feet even if this necessitates selling the "ceiling beams of his house." This might mean that the protection provided by shoes for the feet is more important than the protection provided by the roof of one's home. Elsewhere (Pesahim 113b), the Gemara warns that one who goes about barefoot is "excommunicated by G-d." Different reasons have been given for why one should not walk about without shoes. Rashi explains that walking around barefoot is undignified, and Torah Jews are obligated to conduct themselves in a dignified manner as befitting the children of the Almighty. Others explain, very simply, that walking around barefoot is dangerous, as one's feet might be bitten or stung, or might step on a sharp object. Some have noted that the Hebrew word for shoe – Na'al – may be read as an acrostic for the words "Nahash" (snake), "Akrab" (scorpion), "Lahash" ("hissing"). Similarly, some sources warn that one who walks about barefoot is more susceptible to catching a cold or some other virus. Rav Abraham Azulai (d. 1643) offered a Kabbalistic reason for this Halacha, explaining that after Adam and Hava's sin in Gan Eden, G-d placed a cursed upon the ground ("Arura Ha'adama Ba'aburecha" – Bereshit 3:17). It became the domain of the snake, which represents the Yeser Ha'ra (evil inclination) and forces of impurity, and slithers on the ground and eats the dirt. One who walks barefoot, touching the ground without any obstruction, exposes himself to the ground's impurity. Indeed, some commentators explain that the Egyptian sorcerers, who succeeded in mimicking some of the wonders that Moshe Rabbenu performed – such as changing their staffs to snakes, and transforming the water into blood – received their magical powers from the forces of impurity within the ground. For this reason, they were unable to match Moshe after he brought the third plague – the plague of Kinim (lice) – because the earth underneath Egypt was overrun by vermin (Shemot 8:13), and thus they could not access the forces of impurity. According to the Kabbalists, then, one must wear shoes in order not to connect himself to the Tum'a (impure) in the ground. In fact, some suggest that the word "Na'al" is an acrostic representing the phrase "Nahash Afar Lahmo" – "the snake's bread is dirt," alluding to the function of shoes to shield a person from the impurity of the ground, the domain of the snake. In theory, these different reasons yield interesting exceptions to this Halacha. For example, in warm climates, or during the summertime, walking about barefoot will not likely result in illness. And, in societies where walking barefoot has become accepted, it is not considered undignified. The Kabbalists teach that the ground of Eretz Yisrael does not contain the Tum'a that is present in the ground throughout the rest of the world. In practice, however, since we must concern ourselves with all these reasons, one should avoid walking about barefoot everywhere – even in warm regions, in societies where this is accepted, and in Eretz Yisrael. Inside one's home, however, none of these reasons apply: there is no concern of getting sick or being bitten or stung; there is no requirement to appear especially dignified within the privacy of one's home; and the floors are tiled such that one does not step directly on the ground. Thus, it is entirely permissible to walk about barefoot in one's home. This is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef. One should avoid walking about outside without shoes even if he wears socks. Although the socks protect the feet from the Tum'a of the ground, they do not offer protection from small creatures or sharp objects, and, in most societies, this would be considered undignified. Some sources mention the practice of going outside barefoot as a form of self-affliction for the purpose of achieving atonement for one's sins. People would intentionally endure the discomfort of walking barefoot and hurting themselves, or getting sick, so they could earn expiation for their wrongdoing. (This resembles the account of how the Arizal would roll in the snow during the winter in order to earn atonement.) Hacham Ovadia Yosef, however, opposed all practices of self-affliction, including voluntary fasts. He noted the Gemara's teaching that the Nazir must bring a sin-offering to atone for his self-denial, abstaining from wine. All the more so, we are discouraged from afflicting ourselves unnecessarily by fasting and causing ourselves pain. Hashem expects us to enjoy – in moderation – the comforts and joys of our world, not to deprive ourselves of them. Moreover, voluntary fasts and other extreme measures of piety can often bring more spiritual harm than benefit, as they frequently result in arrogance. Many people who observe such practices ensure to put themselves on display, or to tell their peers about what they do, in order to earn their admiration and esteem – a kind of exhibitionism which is the diametric opposite of piety. Primarily, though, Hacham Ovadia opposed these practices because they lead a person to overlook the most important and most beneficial means of atonement – Torah study. King Shlomo teaches in Mishleh (16:6), "Be'hesed Ve'emet Yechupar Avon" – "Iniquity shall be atoned through kindness and truth," and "Emet" ("truth") refers to Torah learning. In fact, in the blessing of the Amida in which we ask Hashem to help us repent, we begin, "Hashibenu Abinu Le'Toratecha" – "Bring us back, our Father, to Your Torah." The most important and most effective way to rectify one's wrongdoing and earn atonement is through Torah study. The sanctity of Torah has the ability to purge and cleanse the soul of all impurities. I am often approached by people seeking advice for how to attain forgiveness for various sins, and my response is always to attend more Torah classes and devote more time to Torah learning. This isn't my idea – it was written explicitly by Rabbenu Yona (Spain, 1200-1263) in his famous Iggeret Teshuba – a brief guide for those seeking to repent. He says that on the day that a person decides to perform Teshuba, he should immediately commit to increase his Torah learning: if he is accustomed to learning one page, then he should learn two; if he is accustomed to learning for one hour, then he should learn for two hours. Even regarding the six weeks of Shobabim, when there is a time-honored custom to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, the Sadikim teach that spending several hours a day learning achieves more than fasting. This is especially so in today's day and age, when we are not accustomed to abstaining from food, and fasting thus causes frailty which diminishes our productivity and our ability to learn Torah and observe Misvot. It must be emphasized that Torah learning has the ability to atone for even the most grievous sins. The Gemara in Masechet Menahot (110) teaches that one who learns Torah does not need to offer sacrifices for atonement. Even the sin of Lashon Ha'ra – a sin as severe as murder, idol-worship and immorality combined – can be atoned through genuine repentance and Torah learning. Rav Chaim of Volozhin (1749-1821) related that people would ask his mentor, the Gaon of Vilna (1720-1797), how they could atone for the severe sin of Hosa'at Zera ("wasting seed"), and he would respond, "If they devote themselves to Torah study, then they have nothing to worry about." The Gaon of Vilna did not advise these individuals to observe fasts or practice forms of self-affliction or self-deprivation; instead, he urged them to devote time to Torah learning, as this is the universal remedy for all spiritual maladies. (It goes without saying that rectifying this sin also requires common-sense measures such as avoiding places and devices that trigger the Yeser Ha'ra.) We should add that reading the Zohar, too, is beneficial for achieving forgiveness. Even if one does not understand what he reads, the words themselves have inherent sanctity that spiritually cleanse a person. In fact, the Arizal had the custom of reading a section of Tikkuneh Zohar each day from Rosh Hodesh Elul through Yom Kippur, when he would complete the entire work. Clearly, then, one should avoid all measures of self-deprivation, and should instead care for his physical wellbeing so he has the strength and mental energy to devote himself to Torah learning as much as he can.

Stepping Into the Bigger World: Isabella on Korea, Marquette, Music, and Choosing Courage | Conversations with a Chiropractor In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Isabella, a 17-year-old high school senior in Marquette who was born in Korea and made the life-changing decision to study in the United States as a teenager. Isabella shares what it was like growing up in a small coastal town in South Korea, far from Seoul, surrounded by rice fields, ocean mudflats, and a culture where education shapes almost every part of a student's day. She explains the intensity of Korean school life, from long academic days to after-school private academies, late-night homework, and the pressure many students feel to reach a university in Seoul. Her story shifts when she chooses a very different path. At 14, Isabella asked her parents if she could come to the United States to study, with the hope of attending college here and seeing more of the world. That decision brought her to Marquette, where she found new opportunities through music, school activities, healthcare programs, work, and friendships. Stephanie and Isabella talk about the cultural differences between Korean and American schools, including sports, music, dating, school dances, respect for elders, classroom participation, food, language, and self-expression. Isabella also shares her love of flute, her involvement in band, orchestra, HOSA, health occupations, and her interest in dentistry and orthodontics. At the heart of the conversation is Isabella's message about bravery. She talks honestly about the difficulty of leaving home, learning English, making friends, adapting to a new culture, and growing into a more independent version of herself. Her advice is simple and powerful: step out of your comfort zone, even when it feels uncomfortable, because that is where growth begins. In This Episode, Discover What Isabella's childhood was like in a small coastal town in South Korea How Korean school schedules compare to American high school life The role of after-school academies, known as hagwon, in Korean education Why Isabella chose to study in the United States as a teenager How music helped her find belonging in Marquette Her experience with marching band, jazz band, orchestra, HOSA, and health occupations The cultural differences around dating, school dances, makeup, uniforms, and self-expression How food, language, respect, and family expectations differ between Korea and the United States Why K-pop has helped more people recognize and appreciate Korean culture Isabella's plans for the University of Michigan and her interest in dentistry Her advice for anyone afraid to try something new Stay Connected & Explore Follow Conversations with a Chiropractor on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

“You have to love what you do, especially in healthcare, and the earlier you find that, the better. So that's why I love to see HOSA helping young people find what it is that they want to do,” says Dr. David Kelly, a fellow in oculofacial surgery at University of California San Francisco and HOSA's board chair. You can still hear the excitement in Dr. Kelly's voice describing his earliest experiences with HOSA -- a student led organization with 300,000 plus members that prepares future health professionals to become leaders in international health – even though they happened sixteen years ago when he was a sophomore in highschool. Through hundreds of competitive events and hands-on projects, HOSA creates a framework for developing skills in communication, professionalism and leadership starting in middle school. Programs are offered throughout highschool and college as well, which Dr. Kelly took advantage of before becoming an active alumnus and joining the HOSA board as a way of giving back to an organization that has given so much to him. Since taking the reins as board chair last year, one key focus has been preparing to mark HOSA's 50th anniversary in 2026. Dr. Kelly sees the occasion as not only an opportunity to celebrate what HOSA has accomplished, but to ensure it is positioned to continue helping the healthcare industry tackle important challenges in the future. Examples include chronic workforce shortages and improving how clinicians communicate with patients and team members. Join host Lindsey Smith on this uplifting Raise the Line episode for an optimistic look at the next generation of healthcare leaders.Mentioned in this episode:HOSAHOSA Alumni Registration If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
If one violated the prohibition of Borer B'Mezid (intentionally), the selected food is forbidden to benefit from. The only solution is to mix it back in with the P'solet (waste) and start again by selecting in a permitted fashion. If one violated Borer B'Shogeg (unintentionally), Hacham Ovadia and Hacham David in Halacha Berura bring several factors to rely upon to be lenient. First, there is the opinion of Rabbi Meir who permits benefiting from all prohibited Melachot performed B'Shogeg. Second, it is only forbidden to benefit from Melachot similar to Bishul (cooking) in which there is an intrinsic change to the object. E.g. raw food becomes cooked food. However, Borer, is similar to the Melacha of Hosa'ah (carrying) in which the food is moved about, but nothing is done to the food. In such cases, the Hayeh Adam (Rav Abraham Danzig of Vilna, 1748-1820) rules that there is no problem benefitting from the Melacha. Moreover, there was a permitted way to perform the Borer, and therefore it is not actually considered benefiting from a prohibited Melacha, since he could have done it the permitted way. SUMMARY If one violated Borer unintentionally he may benefit from the food on Shabbat.

Full transcription available at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ On this episode of Hearts of Gold, Sim shares her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Honoring the Missing Man. Sim explains that her project was inspired by the dedication and perseverance of the veterans she met through her involvement in the Air Force Junior ROTC program. She set out to raise awareness about the Missing Man table, a table that is set up to recognize POW and MIA soldiers. With the help of her fellow cadets, Sim donated kits to over 15 schools and presented to the school board. Her project was a great success in honoring and educating others about the sacrifices of our soldiers. More about Simran: Simran Carl is a junior at Cedar Park High School. She has been an active member of the Girl Scouts since kindergarten and has recently completed her Gold Award. She served on the Advisory Board and is currently a National Delegate. In addition to my home troop, I am a member of the only scuba diving-based Girl Scout in the country. Her Gold Award project focused on creating missing man tables and donating them to Leander Independent School District schools. Through her dedication and hard work, Simran has demonstrated a strong commitment to serving her community and positively impacting those around her. In addition to her community service work, Simran enjoys spending time with her friends and family, pursuing creative hobbies, and exploring new interests. She lives with her sister, parents, and a particularly heavy orange barn cat in Austin, Texas. After high school, Simran hopes to go to college to study business or pre-medicine. Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/honoringthemissingman/ In this episode of the podcast, Hearts of Gold, produced by the Grow and Share Network, guests who have earned their Girl Scout Gold Award share their experiences and projects with the audience. The podcast aims to inspire and motivate listeners to pursue their own Gold Award projects and make a positive impact in their communities. Listeners are encouraged to subscribe to the podcast and catch up on previous episodes, which are available on various podcasting platforms and YouTube. One of the guests featured on the podcast is Sim, who completed her Girl Scout Gold Award project called Honoring the Missing Man. Sim's project involved setting up a Missing Man table to recognize POW and MIA soldiers. Through her high school's Air Force Junior ROTC program, Sim worked with veterans and discovered that many of her fellow cadets were not aware of the Missing Man table. She set out to make sure everyone knew about it by putting together a team of ROTC cadets and donating kits to over 15 schools in her district. She also presented to the school board and donated a kit to them. The Missing Man table is a simple round table with multiple items on it that represent different things, and Sim wanted to make sure that people knew that POW and MIA soldiers may be gone, but they are not forgotten. Sim's project impacted many people in her community, and she received a lot of positive feedback from those who helped her along the way. Sim shares her future plans, which include studying either medicine or business. She has been involved in HOSA, a future health professionals club, since her freshman year of high school and has been around doctors her whole life, as her mother and family members are doctors. Sim also shares her love for s'mores and her technique for making them, which involves either burning them to a crisp or spending 30 minutes trying to get them golden brown, but ultimately as long as they have chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow, she considers it a s'more. Overall, the Hearts of Gold podcast is a great resource for anyone interested in learning about the amazing projects completed by Girl Scout Gold Award recipients.

Kids In The Community - St. Marys HOSA Club by Connect FM
The River Ridge girls basketball team got its revenge on the ultimate stage, winning the Class AAAAAA state championship 68-50 over Lovejoy on Friday night at the Macon Coliseum. It is the first team state championship for River Ridge in any sport, and the Knights are the first girls basketball champion from Cherokee County since Etowah in 2005. River Ridge played with a chip on its shoulders, going up against a Lovejoy team that knocked the Knights out in the quarterfinals last year. This was the matchup the Knights wanted, and they pulled away late for the history-making 18-point win. Mataya Gayle took over in her final opportunity at River Ridge, scoring a game-high 25 points, surpassing 2,000 points for her career, while picking up nine rebounds and five assists. Behind Gayle, two sophomores had major contributions. Kayla Cleaveland scored 15 points despite fouling out in the fourth quarter, while Sophia Pearl finished with 11 points and five steals. River Ridge limited Lovejoy's talented guard duo of Bryanna Preston and La'nya Foster to 29 combined points. Foster's 16 points led the way, while Preston was forced to the bench after picking up her fourth foul with 2:30 left in the first half. Cherokee's run came to an end Saturday night, with the Warriors falling 78-58 to Wheeler in the Class AAAAAAA state championship game in Macon. It was nothing like the last time these two teams met. Cherokee was within striking distance for much of the game and trailed by just nine points in the third quarter. Wheeler's size and athleticism ultimately helped it pull away late, but the Warriors were anything but an easy out. Saturday marked the Warriors' first trip to the state title game since 1982, behind the late Tony Ingle, the future coach at Kennesaw State and a Cherokee County Sports Hall of Fame honoree. Wheeler's win gave the program its ninth state championship all-time and third in the last four seasons. It was the fourth time Cherokee had seen Wheeler during the 2022-23 season, and after falling 94-41 in the Region 5AAAAAAA championship, the Warriors played like they had something to prove. Saturday marked the end of just Coach Joe Veihman's second season at Cherokee since taking over for longtime coach Roger Kvam. He led the Warriors to a 41-17 record, and now, a Class AAAAAAA runner-up trophy. A former Holly Springs educator has been sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to child sexual abuse during his time as a teacher at a private school. Robert Vandel, 65, of Canton was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison followed by 12 years on probation after pleading guilty to child sexual abuse crimes while he was teaching science at Lyndon Academy in Holly Springs. This sentence will run concurrently with a 10-year prison sentence Vandel is serving in Fulton County. Vandel pled guilty to his Fulton County charges in May 2022, admitting to rape, aggravated child molestation, false imprisonment, and child molestation while he was a science teacher at Fulton Academy of Science and Technology Charter School in Roswell. He was sentenced to 10 years to serve in prison followed by life on probation with sex offender special conditions. In September 2021, Vandel was arrested at Lyndon Academy by Roswell Police on charges that he sexually assaulted one of his students at Fulton Academy of Science and Technology Charter School. He was charged in Roswell with rape, aggravated assault with intent to rape a child under 14, aggravated child molestation, sexual assault by persons in supervisory authority, enticing a child for indecent purposes, and false imprisonment of a child under 14. After his arrest, Vandel was terminated from his teaching position. Since he was teaching in Holly Springs, Holly Springs Police Department initiated a separate investigation. A forensic interview showed that Vandel had been showing the child favoritism and giving her answers to test questions, before engaging in criminal acts, prosecutors said. In a negotiated guilty plea, Vandel admitted to intentionally making physical contact with intimate parts of the child's body, including pressing the front of his body against the child and smacking her buttocks with a ruler, prosecutors reported. In an impact statement, the victim said she has had sleepless nights, and they have felt betrayed and afraid, waiting for justice, prosecutors said. Lyndon Academy Headmaster Linda Murdock declined to comment on the civil case Friday due to the case being open. Records on the Georgia Professional Standards Commission website show that Vandel's teaching certification was revoked in October 2020. The commission had suspended his license in 2006. Last year, Murdock told WSB-TV that when Lyndon Academy hired Vandel two years earlier, the alleged sexual assault in Roswell had not yet been reported to authorities, and he passed a background check that included the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, social media checks, references, and recommendations. A 37-year-old woman from Woodstock has been arrested after authorities say she had a sexual relationship with a minor starting when he was 15 years old. Brittany Stetson is charged with child molestation, aggravated child molestion, sexual assault by teacher, according to her arrest warrant filed by Holly Springs Police Department. In the warrant, police say that in February 2021 Stetson initiated a sexual relationship with a boy who was 15 at the time, which continued for over a year. The woman is a former substitute teacher at Cherokee County schools, including the high school the teen attended. A representative of the Cherokee County School District said that the alleged sexual misconduct was not connected to Stetson's work as a substitute teacher, and she is no longer employed by the district. Stetson was arrested March 7 and booked into the Cherokee County jail. As of March 10, she remained there without bond, according to the Cherokee Sheriff's Office. A team of students from Etowah High School recently won first place in a statewide career skills competition for their public service announcement on mental health awareness. Juniors Samantha Durst, Temilola Oloruntoba, Katie Shay and Hannah Stack won the state HOSA Future Health Professionals competition for their video, the Cherokee County School District announced. They are part of their school's HOSA chapter, advised by Career Pathway healthcare science teachers Megan King and Amber Thayer. The PSA is currently available on You Tube. The team will compete nationally this summer at the HOSA International Leadership Conference in Dallas, Texas. The Cherokee County school board and superintendent will recognize the team at an upcoming school board meeting.

A group of high school students are spreading awareness about Parkinson's Disease for their HOSA project, which is a worldwide club for future health professionals. Their idea came from one of the group member's uncle who has suffered from the disease for the last 16 years. The students have been working on various activities to raise awareness, such as selling donuts and making bracelets, and will be presenting their project at the spring leadership conference on March 10th. The students have also created a website to further spread awareness and encourage others to share their stories and suggestions.

Schools have typically supported our students' emotional needs in real time through counselors, educational programs, and direct teacher outreach. Over the last challenging 12 months, those needs have heightened and, especially in remote learning, addressing them has been a challenge for our educators. Today's episode shares a unique way that schools can support children's emotional needs as well as remedy Zoom fatigue! Make sure to listen all the way through for a special treat at the end of the episode. About Our Guest: Jared Campbell, Singer/Songwriter Jared Campbell is an award winning singer/songwriter from Upstate New York and has been traveling the country performing for thousands of people and hundreds of schools over the past decade. He's shared the stage with Jason Mraz, The Zac Brown Band and even Journey! His music has also been featured on MTV and he's been acknowledged by Billboard Magazine as one of the top independent musicians in the northeast. His main focus is allowing his music to impact the lives of his listeners by experiencing joy, finding comfort through pain, and looking past obstacles towards living a better life. His songs are said to be uplifting, thought provoking and emotionally heartfelt. Jared mixes humor, stories of life on road and personal experience to relate to the audience set before him. Young people have walked away with life changing experiences such as finding their true passion in life, appreciating others around them and ceasing to bully those that are different, stopping their attempts at suicide and forming life lasting relationships with the friends and family surrounding them. He pursued a career in music from an early age, which earned him spots on national stages with many top performers. He was thrust into the school system in 2006 when he saw the need for character education through the power of music. He recognized that his songs spoke to the heart of the issues that many young people were facing including suicidal thoughts, self harm, bullying, troubles at home etc. Since he began performing in schools he has literally crossed state lines from the northeast to California speaking for thousands of young people and has had the opportunity to be the keynote for many national and state conferences with groups like HOSA, 4H, FBLA, Prevention Links, School Counselor Associations, HOBY and the list goes on.
