Was this a problem? How could one get around this issue, on a practical and on a halachic level?[10]________________________________________[1] לשעת הביכורי יעקב (סי' תרלה סק"ב) סוכת גנב"ך אינה לכתחילה.[2] להשו"ע או"ח סי' רב ס"ז, תמרים שנתמעכו לא אבדה ברכתן. הרמ"א חולק בפאווידלע. להמשנ"ב (שם ס"ק מב) חולק הרמ"א גם בשאר פירות שנתמעכו. אבל אדה"ז בשו"ע שלו שם סכ"ב סתם, ומשמע שהתמרים לעולם בפה"ע. ולענין ברכה אחרונה נסתפק המשנ"ב – במקרה שברכת הפרי היא 'שהכל'. אבל לאדה"ז – שברכתו הראשונה בפה"ע, א"כ אין ספק בברכה אחרונה – אם אכל כזית של תמר בתוך התערובת. וע"ע שערי הברכה פכ"ג הע' מו.

SUKKOTSukkot is a seven-day festival that follows five days after Yom Kippur. It was to be observed by “living” in “booths,” or the “sukkah,” which served to remind the Jewish people of the forty years they wandered in the wilderness, when the nation came out of Egypt, in route to the Land of Promise. They dwelt in temporary structures, and the Lord Himself dwelt in the Tabernacle. Because the “sukkah” was a weak structure, it symbolized the fragility of their own lives, and the loss of Israel's national aspirations. It also served to remind the nation of their future hope of restoration and glory when Messiah returns and establishes the Messianic Kingdom (Amos 9:11).According to Leviticus 23:33-43, four plants were to be used in the worship of the Lord on this occasion. First, is the פְּרִי עֵץ הָדָר “fruit of goodly trees,” or the etrog, which is a citrus-type fruit much like an extra-large lemon. Second, is the כַּפֹּת תְּמָרִים “branches of palm-trees,” known as the lulav. Third, is the עֱנַף עֵץ-עָבֹת “boughs of thick trees,” also called the hadass, the branch of a myrtle tree. Fourth, is the עַרְבֵי-נָחַל “willows of the brook,” referring to the aravah, the willow branch. It ought not surprise us then that on Sukkot, Yeshua, himself, would make certain statements regarding his Messiahship in connection with these two most important ceremonies. During the water pouring ceremony, which symbolized Israel's prayer for rain and the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the nation, Yeshua said, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from his innermost being” (John 7:37-38). In connection with the “lighting of the lampstands” ceremony, Yeshua proclaimed on Sukkot, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12). Prophetically, Sukkot will have its fulfillment during the Messianic kingdom. While the first four festivals were all prophetically fulfilled by the first coming of Messiah, so the latter three festivals will be fulfilled by the second coming of Messiah. Zechariah foretells, “Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem, will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:16).SIMCHAT TORAHSimchat Torah is a Jewish holiday that celebrates and marks the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle. Simchat Torah is a component of the Biblical Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret ("Eighth Day of Assembly"), which follows immediately after the festival of Sukkot in the month of Tishrei (occurring in September or October on the Gregorian calendar).YouTube: https://youtu.be/AnJGKyLWYBISend us a text

Mitzvah Haba'ah B'aveirah with Lulav, Ptur Mitztaer & Iyun in Sukkah (Sukkos 5786)

Warding-off the dangers from literally all directions. In both the personal life, and in the life of the Jewish People

In this edition, Rabbi Dobrusin considers one tradition regarding the lulav and etrog, symbols of the holiday of Sukkot, and relates that tradition to the reality within Jewish communities today. 

Lulav - the spearsEsrog - the food Hadassim - the "roofs" of the foxholesAravos - dittoלְפִי שִׁיטַת הָ"רוֹקֵחַ" ב "סֻכּוֹת מַמָּשׁ"

The Gemara discusses whether the Sukkah represents the Ananei HaKavod or physical huts. Rabbi Stark explains how not only were there actual clouds but they were clouds like you wouldn't believe.

This discussion is an exercise in Heshbon HaNefesh (soul-accounting), focusing on the need to approach our service of God with the same seriousness and focus we dedicate to our most important worldly tasks. The central lesson is that all our actions must be performed with our full heart and attention. The Three Categories of Divine Service The Chovot HaLevavot (Duties of the Heart) divides our service of God into three categories: Solely of the Heart: This includes internal spiritual duties like love and fear of God, faith, and trust. Both Body and Heart: This category includes mitzvot that involve both physical action and spiritual intention, such as prayer and Torah study. Solely of the Body: These are physical acts that require initial intent but not constant focus throughout the action, such as shaking the Lulav or performing the mitzvah of Sukkah . The Heart of the Matter: The Importance of Intention in Prayer The core of our service, especially prayer, is the heart. The prophet Isaiah delivered a powerful rebuke to the people, saying, "This people honors Me with its lips and with its mouth, but its heart is far from Me." Prayer without intention and focus is likened to a body without a soul—it is essentially dead. The Chovot HaLevavot offers a powerful parable: a servant invites a king to his home, but then disappears to gamble while the king waits alone. Similarly, we invite God into a meeting through prayer, but if our heart is not present, we are not truly there. This is why, as we say at the end of our prayers, "May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be acceptable before You." This is a bold request, as we are asking God to accept the thoughts that are often far from holy. To ensure our heart is present, the Chovot HaLevavot advises three mental preparations before we begin to pray: Know to Whom You Speak: Recognize that you are about to address the King of all kings. Understand Your Needs: Be clear on what you want from Him—your life, health, and sustenance. Choose Your Words Carefully: Consider the words you will use to make your requests. The Five Elements of True Prayer The words of our prayer are like the peel of an orange or the body of a person; the essence is the fruit and the soul. While the words are a vital tool, the true purpose is to ignite five fundamental feelings within the heart: Yearning: The soul's desire to connect with God. Humility: Humbly recognizing one's smallness before Him. Awe: Recognizing the greatness of the Creator. Praise: Thanking Him for all His kindness. Reliance: Casting all your burdens upon Him. Our sages created the siddur (prayer book) because they knew our hearts are fickle. The words help us organize and express these concepts. Although technically one can fulfill their obligation with thought alone, our words guide and anchor our thoughts. God has entrusted us with prayer, knowing that only we can truly know the sincerity of our own hearts. To live up to this trust, we must follow the counsel of the great sages, who would spend time before they prayed to clear their minds and prepare their hearts, recognizing that we are about to stand before a King who can read our innermost thoughts.

The Lulav in the wine

Hilchot Chatzitza Part 2: Libs make the styles!! Shaking Lulav with a ring on?!? It's been the style in Paris for decades…

Resh Lakish poses a question: What happens to a lulav - a palm branch - from a tree that has been worshipped? That is, in the event that it was planted to begin with in the name of idolatry. Does the use for a mitzvah make it more likely to be permitted? More likely to be forbidden? What about for regular use? Rav Dimi has a different understanding by which to answer Resh Lakish -- consider a tree that was planted for idolatry, and then that status was revoked. Now what, when it comes to mitzvot? Rav Pappa says there's no revocation (in other examples) when it comes to mitzvot. Also, new mishnayot! If one's home abuts the home of an idolater - divide the wall according to thickness. Note - the privacy of the bathroom. Plus, stones that were used to support idols vs. stones that had a covering that was connected to idolatry, and you removed any connection to idolatry....

1)    Why do we say שהחיינו for Shofar on the 2nd day of Rosh HaShono, but we don't say שהחיינו when bentshing Lulav on the 2nd day of Succos?[1] 2)    I have no option to do Kapporos locally with a chicken, so I've been doing it with money. I've now read that it is preferable to delegate and to request someone to do it on my behalf with a chicken. Would you recommend that I do so?[2] 3)    One who lost a parent on the 18th of Elul, may he have a haircut on Chol HaMoed?[3] 4)    My rental of my dwelling includes a parking spot. I don't have a car, so I rent out the spot. A) Should I give Maaser from the income; B) May I keep rent for Shabbos?[4] 5)    I was taught that when giving utensils as a gift, Tevilas Keilim must be left for the recipient to do. Recently I read that the Rebbe toivelled dishes before gifting them to a relative. Please enlighten:[5] 6)    Minyan in two adjoining rooms. Does Kaddish-sayer have to be visible to all?[6] 7)    Due to Covid I've lost my sense of smell. At Havdolo says a brocho over spices. Do I answer Omein to her brocho or is it a hefsek between my HaGofen and my drinking?[7] 8)    When lifting the roof of my Succah after a rain, water pours on to my lawn. Is that a concern on Shabbos and Yomtov?[8] 9)    In Musaf of Yomtov we say ומפני חטאינו. A similar expression is said on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh, but not in Musaf of Rosh Chodesh on a weekday. Why the difference?[9] 10)  On Yomtov, may I read my lists of which foods are for each meal?[10] 11)  Feedback re. eggs for Melave Malka[11]; re. the meat from Ireland; story with Reb Shoiel Bruk; re. saying גם בשמחה ובצהלה on Shabbos Breishis[12]: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9764852268?omn=82020039643 Index to previous Panorama Shiurim: Panorama Index 2 - Google Docs [1] מבואר בשו"ע סי' תרסב ס"ב ובמשנ"ב שם סק"ב, וראה גם שוע"ר סי' תר ס"ז.     [2] בס' 'הלכה למעשה' (ע' 175) דייק בלשון אדה"ז בסדור שהעיקר הוא השחיטה, וא"כ מועיל גם ע"י שליח. ומציין גם לשו"ת משנה הלכות חי"ז סי' ע:ג.     [3] דיני הגילוח לאבל ר"ל – ביו"ד סי' שצ. בנדו"ד הגיע לשיעור "יגערו בו חבריו" בתוך המועד, והר"י פרקש בספרו 'חול המועד כהלכתו' פ"ג סכ"ז מקיל רק כשיש צורך גדול.

Sukkot reminds us of the dwellings our ancestors lived in when they were fleeing Egypt, they are the temporary dwellings of refugees. Yet settlers have bastardized the holiday to be about occupying land, and often use the plants of the Lulav to claim Sukkot as a Zionist Holiday. In this episode, join Ben and Jordan for a walk as they creatively engage with the Holiday's halacha (Jewish Law/Way of Practice) and inspiration in the Torah to adapt the ritual in the spirit of Doikayt (Hereness).Hear the full conversation, and the thought that went into creating our Lulav from Coast Live Oak, Douglas Fir, California Mugwort and a single pulled French Broom by supporting us on Patreon!We hope you'll check out this inspiring text, the Book of Lulav by Miriam Saperstein, and if you have time before the end of Sukkot, build your own local Lulav!Subscribe to our collaborative YouTubeFollow us on InstagramAs usual, we'd like to thank Aly Halpert for continuing to allow us to use their beautiful music.

Between Simchas Beis Hashoeva and the mitzvah to visit one's Rebbi over Sukkos, there seems to be a special focus on seeing the faces of tzadikim over this Yom Tov. The Mashgiach explains why.

This meditation focuses on the balance between learning and action, drawing from the symbolic meaning of the Four Species used during Sukkot. Each plant represents different aspects of the spiritual journey. The etrog, symbolizing both Torah study and mitzvot, encourages us to integrate wisdom with righteous action. The lulav, representing knowledge without deeds, reminds us that learning alone is incomplete without application. The myrtle, fulfilling mitzvot without study, teaches that action can still be meaningful even if we lack deep understanding. Lastly, the willow, symbolizing neither study nor practice, invites us to reflect on potential and growth, encouraging us to elevate our lives through both learning and doing. In this meditation, we seek harmony between study and action, recognizing the necessity of both in our spiritual and personal development.

In this episode Menachem explores the classic recovery slogan "Humility is not thinking less of yourself but rather thinking of yourself less" and how that relates to the practices of the Sukkah, the Esrog&Lulav and the Simchat Torah celebration as well as how that relates to some of his experience on the ground in JerusalemSign Up for our Newsletter!!
