Can I drink beer and Scotch on Pesach? Don't get your hopes up just yet, but Rabbi Yehoshua Domosh, a trained Kashrus professional, takes us through some fascinating halachic analysis (Responsa of Rivash, no. 255) about why distilled alcoholic beverages might not be so bad afterall - and also why an innocuous, unflavored seltzer may indeed have some potential issues bubbling just under the surface....

At Har Sinai, our ears heard every mitzvah - Shabbos, Kashrus, and the laws of proper speech. So why does only the Eved Ivri get his ear pierced for not listening? What makes this mitzvah so unique that it demands this powerful symbolic punishment? And what profound message lies in the fact that our ears are uniquely designed for receiving, unlike all our other senses? In this fascinating exploration of Parshas Mishpatim, we uncover the deep connection between listening and spiritual balance. Through a gripping story of a Manhattan accountant whose expertise becomes his greatest challenge, we discover how true wisdom often means knowing when to set aside our own understanding. Join us for an eye-opening journey into the art of spiritual listening, the power of genuine humility, and the delicate balance between human wisdom and Divine guidance. This episode reveals how recalibrating our spiritual ears might be the key to unlocking life's most profound transformations.

התוכן עה"פ בחמישי דפ' חיי שרה "ויביאה יצחק האהלה שרה אמו וגו'" מפרש רש"י: " . . שכל זמן ששרה קיימת הי' נר דלוק מערב שבת לערב שבת וברכה מצוי' בעיסה וענן קשור על האהל, ומשמתה פסקו, וכשבאת רבקה חזרו". ועפי"ז מרומז כאן ג' המצוות שנשי ישראל במיוחד נצטוו עליהם (כמדובר לאחרונה): א) נרות שבת ויו"ט ב) כשרות האכילה ושתי' ג) טהרת המשפחה ("ענן קשור על האהל" הוא ענין הצניעות וכמ"ש "גן נעול אחותי כלה"). ועפ"י המבואר שרבקה היתה אז בת שלש, מובן שאין לחכות בכ"ז עד לאחרי החתונה וכיו"ב אלא להתחיל בזה כבר מגיל שלש. ועוד: הרי לאחרי הסתלקות שרה הדליק אברהם נש"ק, ובכ"ז, הענין ד"נר דלוק מערב שבת עד ערב שבת" הי' דוקא אצל הנש"ק של ילדה בת שלש!משיחת אור לכ' מרחשון ה'תשמ"א ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=22-11-2024 Synopsis On the verse in chamishi of Parashas Chayei Sarah, “And Yitzchak brought her to the tent of Sarah his mother etc.,” Rashi states, “…for as long as Sarah was alive, a candle burned from Erev Shabbos to Erev Shabbos, a blessing was found in the dough, and a cloud was attached to the tent. When she died, these things ceased, and when Rivkah arrived, they resumed.” This alludes to the three mivtzoim that apply particularly to women (as we've been discussing lately): (1) Shabbos candles; (2) Kashrus; (3) Taharas Hamishpacha (“a cloud attached to the tent” refers to modesty, as it says, “a locked garden is my sister my bride”). At the time, Rivkah was three years old; this indicates that there's no need to wait until marriage, rather this can begin at age three. Moreover, although after Sarah's passing, Avraham lit Shabbos candles, nevertheless, the fact that “a candle burned from Erev Shabbos to Erev Shabbos” happened only as a result of the Shabbos candles lit by Rivkah, a three-year-old girl.Excerpt from sichah of 20 Marcheshvan 5741 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=22-11-2024 לזכות ר' חיים ברוך בן דוואניא שי' ליום ההולדת שלו כ"ב מרחשוןלשנת ברכה והצלחה רבה ומופלגה בכל בגו"ר מתוך בריאות נכונה ומנוחת הנפש והגוף
This episode features Rabbi Chaim Jachter's scholarly examination of the relationship between kashrus and personal trust in halacha (kim lei b'gavei). By introducing the recent Responsa Atzei Besamim (Y.D., no. 10), Rabbi Jachter investigates the parameters of trusting individuals with varying kashrus standards. His discussion addresses key issues, including The halachic implications of relying on others' assessments, the boundaries of dining in others' homes, and the general interplay between unity, inclusivity, and halachic adherence. Rabbi Chaim Jachter serves as a Rebbe at Torah Academy of Bergen County, Rav of Congregation Shaarei Orah the Sephardic Congregation of Teaneck, a Dayan on the Beis Din of Elizabeth NJ, advises more than sixty communities throughout North America with their Eruvin (including our own), and author of 19 sefarim...and today we get a sneak peak at his upcoming work on many pressing contemporary Kashrus issues.
