Our custom is to refrain from eating meat during the Nine Days, from Rosh Hodesh Ab until after Tisha B'Ab, except on Shabbat. The question is often asked whether it is permissible to eat after Shabbat meat that is left over from Shabbat. Is this food permissible since it was prepared for Shabbat, or is this food permissible only during Shabbat, but not after Shabbat?The Halachic authorities permit eating leftover meat from Shabbat on Mosa'eh Shabbat, when it is customary to eat the Melaveh Malka meal. With regard to eating leftovers after Mosa'eh Shabbat, different opinions exist among the Halachic authorities. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1807) writes that there are proofs to both views, and therefore although it is preferable not to eat leftover meat after Mosa'eh Shabbat, those who are lenient in this regard have authorities on whom to rely, and one should not protest against their practice. This is the view followed by Hacham Ovadia Yosef, though he adds that minors (below the age of Bar Misva) may eat leftover meat even Le'chatehila (according to the optimum level of observance). Generally, one should not allow children to eat meat during the Nine Days once they've reached the age when they understand the concept of mourning the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash. When it comes to Shabbat leftovers, however, since in any event some authorities allow eating such food even beyond Mosa'eh Shabbat, one may feed them to minors.It should be noted that this applies only to food that was prepared for Shabbat but was not eaten over the course of Shabbat. If one intentionally prepared extra meat before Shabbat in order to have leftovers after Shabbat, it should not be eaten after Shabbat, as this is considered improper "Ha'arama" ("trickery").Summary: If one has leftover meat from Shabbat during the Nine Days, he may eat it for Melaveh Malka after Shabbat. After Mosa'eh Shabbat, it should not be eaten, but those who are lenient in this regard have authorities on whom to rely. Children below the age of Bar Misva may eat leftover meat even past Mosa'eh Shabbat.

The question is raised as to whether one may complete the recitation of Birkat Ha'Lebana if clouds suddenly covered the moon in the middle of the Beracha. Must one recite the Beracha again from the beginning when the moon is again revealed? The Magen Abraham (Rabbi Abraham Gombiner, Poland, 1637-1682) cited by the Mishna Berura rules that since he started "B'Heter,"when the moon was visible, he can conclude the Beracha with a concealed moon. However, the Magen Abraham adds a caveat and says that if one anticipates that the moon will become concealed in the middle of the Beracha, he should not begin.The assumption of the Magen Abraham's restriction is that one should not recite the Beracha unless it seems that it will remain clear for the entire duration. However, at the other end of the spectrum, Rav Chaim of Sanz (Poland, 1793–1876) ruled that even if the moon is concealed for the entire duration of the Beracha, it is permitted to recite the Beracha, as long as he caught a glimpse of the moon, "Toch K'Deh Dibur"-immediately preceding the recitation. This is the minority opinion and is not accepted as Halacha. Nevertheless, the Poskim are willing to rely on his opinion at least to disagree with the Magen Avraham and allow reciting the Beracha when he anticipates that it will become cloudy in the middle of the Beracha. This would be particularly relevant on the last night possible for reciting Beracha, when if he does not recite it now, he will miss the opportunity altogether. In fact, it is possible that even the Magen Avraham would agree in such a case. Hacham Ovadia is apparently lenient even before the last night. SUMMARY: One should not recite Birkat Ha'Lebana if the moon is concealed during the entire duration of the Beracha.If one anticipates that the moon will become concealed in the middle of the recitation, he may rely on the lenient opinions and recite the Beracha. This is certainly true on the last night of recitation.

Is it permissible to enter the restroom if one has in his pocket a small Siddur, Humash or Tehillim, or a page that contains words of Torah? Of course, it is forbidden to bring such materials into a restroom if they are exposed. But is this allowed if one has them in his pocket?Hacham David Yosef (contemporary), in his Halacha Berura (vol. 3, p. 320; listen to audio recording for precise citation), writes that this is permissible. He explains that since these materials are printed, and not written on parchment, it suffices to simply cover them – such as by placing them in one’s pocket – and they do not require a double covering. He adds that today’s restrooms, with modern plumbing, might not have the same status as restrooms in earlier generations, and so there is greater room leniency. Although the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) brings (43:25) different opinions in this regard, Hacham David ruled that one may be lenient and enter a restroom with books or pages of Torah literature in his pocket. Hacham David noted that this was the ruling of his father, Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Yabia Omer (vol. 4, Yoreh De’a, 21).Summary: It is permissible to enter a restroom with Torah materials – such as a small Humash or pages with Torah articles – in his pocket.

If a person owns a vending machine that is stationed in a public place, such as an airport, from which people can purchase snacks or drinks, may he allow it to continue operating on Shabbat? If it runs on Shabbat, the owner will be earning money on Shabbat, which would perhaps be in violation of the Rabbinic enactment against profitable work on Shabbat. The profits from the purchases made from the machine are being earned by the owner on Shabbat, and should thus seemingly be forbidden.In truth, however, the Halachic authorities rule that it is permissible to allow one’s vending machine to run on Shabbat, for various reasons. Primarily, it is not considered Sechar Shabbat (earning money on Shabbat) because the owner is not doing anything on Shabbat to earn money. The prohibition of Sechar Shabbat applies only to working on Shabbat for pay, whereas in this case, one earns money without work. Therefore, as long as the machine is not in one’s property, his name does not appear on the machine, and it is not located in a place where Jews are likely to use it, one may allow the machine to run on Shabbat and keep the money received from purchasers during Shabbat. This is the ruling of several leading Halachic authorities, including Rav Yitzhak Weiss (1901-1989), in his Minhat Yitzhak (3:34), and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (1910-1995), cited in Shemirat Shabbat Ke’hilchatah (chapter 29, note 70). This is also the ruling of Rav Yisrael Belsky (contemporary).

The Gemara states that "Layla Lav Zman Sisit"-night is not the time to fulfill the Misva of Sisit. The Rambam understands this at face value to mean that no garments are ever required in Sisit at night. However, the Rosh understands that the Gemara is referring to garments designated for wearing at night, like a pajama. Accordingly, if a person wore his regular "day" clothes at night, the Rosh would rule that he is obligated in Sisit, whereas the Rambam would hold that he is exempt. Conversely, if one would wear pajamas during the day, the Rosh would hold that he is exempt, whereas the Rambam would hold that he is obligated.Although the Bet Yosef implies that he agrees with Rambam, in his Shulhan Aruch (18:1) he cites both opinions, without ruling like either of them. Hacham Ovadia understands that Maran was indecisive who to rule like, and therefore the Halacha must adopt the stringent outcome of both opinions. That is, if one wears a night garment during the day, it must have Sisit, in accordance with the Rambam. If one wears a day garment at night, it must have Sisit, in accordance with the Rosh. However, in both cases, a Beracha is not recited because of the principle "Safek Berachot L’Hakel"-when there is a doubt, a Beracha is not recited. Therefore, if someone wants to put on a Tallit after sunset, he should not say a Beracha, because perhaps the Halacha is actually like the Rambam that even "daywear," like a Tallit, is exempt from Sisit at night. That is why on Ereb Yom Kippur, one should arrive in Shul before sunset so that he can recite a Beracha on his Tallit. Interestingly, Hacham Ovadia ruled that if one really wants to make a Beracha on his Tallit after sunset, he has what to rely on if he does so within thirteen and a half minutes after sunset. If a person prayed Arbit early, before sunset, it is already considered nighttime for him, and he may no longer make a Beracha on a Tallit, even if the sun has not yet set. Doing so would create a "Tarte D’Satreh"-a internal contradiction: If it is already night to pray, how can he wear a Tallit? This can occur at a wedding in which the Hatan prayed Arbit early; under the Huppa, he may no longer recite the Beracha of "L’hitatef" on his new Tallit.The Kaf Ha’haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Israel, 1870-1939) and the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) write, based on the Arizal, that one should not remain wearing his Tallit after nightfall. Therefore, after a fast day, one should remove his Tallit before Arbit. Although the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) cites Poskim that one should remain in his Tallit for Arbit of Mosa’eh Yom Kippur because we are still likened to angels, Hacham Ovadia in Yalkut Yosef cites many Poskim who disagree and rule that the custom is to remove the Tallit before Arbit.SUMMARYOne should not recite a Beracha on Sisit after sunset, or after praying Arbit before sunset.One should not remain wearing his Tallit at night even on Mosa’eh Yom Kippur.

The Halacha states that the Sisit must belong to their wearer. This is derived from the Pasuk which says "V'Asu LaHEm"-They shall make for themselves-from themselves. Therefore, one cannot fulfil his obligation with a stolen pair of Sisit. The question is whether it is permitted to use Sisit which were purchased from the store, but not yet paid for. If the buyer continuously pushes off payment, despite the seller's repeated requests, and it seems that he has no concrete intention of paying, the Halacha deems those Sisit as stolen. If the seller is willing to wait and give the Sisit on credit, then they are valid. One should be careful when buying Sisit to pay immediately or at least clarify that the seller has no problems with the delayed payment. If the seller doesn't explicitly stipulate that he has no compunctions, it is possible that he actually does expect payment but was too embarrassed to demand it. The Halacha also discusses whether one can fulfil the Misva if he used a borrowed pair of Sisit. The English word "Borrow" has two variations in Hebrew. It can either refer to a transaction in which the borrower actually becomes the owner of the object and is merely obligated to return a different identical item. The classic case is borrowing money. The borrower is not expected to return the actual bills or coins that he received. There is also the type of borrowing in which the actual object itself must be returned. The first type is called "Halva'ah" and the second type is called "She'elah." Regarding Sisit, it is automatically assumed by default that any time someone borrows strings for Sisit or a Tallit that the intent is to give it as temporary gift, so that the borrower becomes the owner and may fulfil the Misva.SUMMARYOne should insure that he pays for his Sisit in full according to the explicit terms of sale.If one borrows Sisit, he fulfills the Misva.

Maran rules in Siman 8 that if three or four people are putting on their Tallit, one person may recite the Beracha "L’Hitatef B’Sisit" on behalf of everyone, provided he has them in mind, and they listen with intent to fulfil their obligation. Moreover, the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) comments that not only is this permitted, but, it is actually preferable, because of the principle "B’rov Am Hadrat Melech" (There is more glory to the King, when Misvot are performed in a larger gathering). Moreover, the Mishna Berura says an even greater Chidush (novel Halacha): Even if a person has already donned his Tallit and recited the Beracha, he is allowed to recite the Beracha again for someone else to fulfil their obligation. That is, if someone else wants to put on a Tallit, even if he knows how to recite the Beracha, the first person can recite the Beracha on his behalf. This is based on the principle of "Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh L’Zeh"-All Jews have a mutual responsibility to each other. When we received the Torah at Mt. Sinai, not only did we accept its obligations upon ourselves, but we also accepted responsibility that all other Jews perform the Misvot. Therefore, even though one had already fulfilled the misva of Sisit personally, he can recite the Beracha again for someone else who has not yet fulfilled his obligation. Another example is Kiddush. Even though someone has already recited Kiddush on Shabbat, he can say it again and again for other people who have not yet performed the Misva. Rabbi Shelomo Zalman Aeurbach points out that applying this principle to Sisit is a Chidush (novelty). As opposed to Kiddush, Sisit is not an absolute obligation, as one who does not wear a four-cornered garment does not have to attach the Sisit fringes. Nevertheless, the principle of "Arvut" (mutual responsibility) applies. While this is true in principle, the accepted custom is for everyone to make the Beracha on the Tallit individually, and not rely on someone else’s Beracha. The reason is that it is hard for people to precisely synchronize putting on their Tallitot together. Also, many people are not familiar with the proper procedure for listening and intending to fulfil their obligation through someone else. Of course, with regard to the Beracha on Hallel and Kiddush, the accepted practice is for the Hazzan to recite the Beracha on behalf of everyone. Anyone separating himself from the group and reciting it by himself is performing the Misva in a non-ideal way. This is also the accepted custom with regard to eating the Karpas on the Seder night. The leader should recite the Beracha of "Boreh Peri Ha’Adamah" on behalf of everyone. This preferable to making a "Beracha Party," in which everyone says a Beracha in order to answer Amen to each other’s Beracha.In cases where the Hazzan recites the Beracha on behalf of everyone, a person has fulfilled his obligation by listening to the Beracha with intent to be included, even if he does not say "Amen" after the Beracha. This is the ruling of the Mishna Berura, to which Hacham Ovadia concurs. SUMMARYThe custom is for everyone to make their own Beracha upon donning their Tallit.Everyone should fulfil their obligation to recite the Beracha of Kiddush, Karpas and Hallel with the Hazzan.If one listened to the Beracha of the Hazzan with intent to be included but did not answer Amen, he has fulfilled his obligation.

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.

Is it permissible to take Masa on Pesah and put it in liquid, such as in soup, or a dip? And may one place sauce on one’s Masa? The Shulhan Aruch rules explicitly (Orah Haim 463:3) that one may boil fully baked Masa in water on Pesah. However, the Sha’areh Teshuba observes the custom followed by some individuals to refrain from placing Masa in liquid on Pesah. The reason for this custom is the concern that there might be some dough in the Masa that had not been fully baked, and this dough will become Hametz if it comes in contact with liquid, particularly if the liquid is hot. This custom is noted by several Poskim, including Rav Schneur Zalman of Liadi (the first Rebbe of Lubavitch, 1745-1813), and brought by the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933). A number of Ashkenazic communities follow this practice and refrain from what they call "Gebrukst" (literally, "soaked") – Masa that has come in contact with liquid.Sepharadim, however, did not accept this stringency, and thus it is entirely permissible for Sepharadim to place Masa in liquid on Pesah. This is especially true nowadays, when our Masa is very thin, which makes it virtually impossible that there would be unbaked flour in the Masa. The Shulhan Aruch ruled leniently with regard to the Masa customarily eaten in his time, which was thick, such that there might have been a possibility of some dough being left unbaked; certainly, then, there is no reason for concern when it comes to the thin Masa that we eat.However, Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998), in his Or Le’sion (vol. 3, 11:13), writes that there is room to be stringent in this regard when eating machine-made Masa. He explains that in the factories which produce machine Masot, flour is spread throughout the air of the room. Hacham Bension observed that one who walks inside the factory comes out covered in white from the flour particles that fly about in the air. Now the Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 459:6), based on the Terumat Ha’deshen (Rav Yisrael Isserlein, 1390-1460), rules that when baking Masot, one should not add flour onto the surface of the dough after the dough has been kneaded and prepared for baking. As this added flour is not mixed into the dough, it might not be properly baked in the oven, and could then potentially become Hametz. Hacham Bension thus writes that since flour particles fly about in the factory as the machines mix the dough, some flour is likely to fall onto the surface of dough after the kneading. Therefore, he writes, those who wish to be stringent should refrain from placing machine-made Masa in liquid, because the flour which fell onto the dough before it was baked might not have been fully baked in the oven. Hacham Bension acknowledges that in all likelihood, even this additional flour becomes immediately baked in the oven, such that there is no concern. Nevertheless, he writes that although it is permissible to place machine Masa in liquid on Pesah, there is room to be stringent and refrain from placing machine Masa in warm liquid, which could cause unbaked flour to become Hametz. And if one did mix machine Masa with hot liquid, he should eat it quickly, before the unbaked flour has a chance to become Hametz.It should be noted that Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Hazon Ovadia, draws no distinction between hand-made Masa and machine-made Masa in this regard, indicating that it is entirely permissible to place even machine-made Masa in liquid on Pesah.Summary: Some Ashkenazic communities have the custom not to place Masa in liquid on Pesah, due to the concern that there may be some unbaked flour in the Masa which will become Hametz if it comes in contact with liquid. Sepharadim did not accept this stringency, and may place Masa in liquid on Pesah. However, according to one opinion, it is admirable even for Sepharadim to avoid placing machine-made Masa in hot liquid, and, if some machine Masa did come in contact with hot liquid, to eat it right away. Others disagree, and maintain that there is no need for Sepharadim to be stringent in this regard at all.

Is it permissible to wash Netilat Yadayim in the morning or before eating bread in the restroom, and then leave the restroom before reciting the Beracha?Hacham Ovadia Yosef addresses this question in his work Yabia Omer (3:1), where he writes that Netilat Yadayim should not be performed in a restroom except in extenuating circumstances where no other options are available. He writes that although modern-day restrooms are much cleaner than the restrooms in ancient times, as the bodily waste is immediately flushed away and does not remain in the restroom, nevertheless, even contemporary restrooms are places of Tum’a (contamination). It is therefore inappropriate to wash Netilat Yadayim in a restroom, even though one leaves before reciting the Beracha. As mentioned, Hacham Ovadia makes an exception for extenuating circumstances, where one does not have access to any other sink. Thus, for example, Hacham Ovadia writes that one may wash Netilat Yadayim in the lavatory of an airplane, as other options are often not available, and the bodily waste in airplane lavatories is flushed away immediately and does not even remain there temporarily. But even on an airplane, Hacham Ovadia writes, one should wash in the restroom only if no other options are available, and one should cover the toilet with a paper towel or other material during washing.It should be noted that Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1923-1998) ruled leniently on this issue and permitted washing Netilat Yadayim in modern-day restrooms, but as far as the practical Halacha is concerned, one should follow the stringent ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef. As mentioned, this applies to both the morning Netilat Yadayim and to washing before eating bread.Needless to say, under all circumstances, the Beracha must be recited outside the restroom.(See Yalkut Yosef, English edition, Netilat Yadayim, p. 220)Summary: One should not wash Netilat Yadayim in a restroom, even if he recites the Beracha outside the restroom, unless no other option is available, such as on an airplane.

What is the status of a parve food, such as rice, which was cooked in a pot which one uses with meat? May that rice now be eaten together with dairy products, such as yoghurt?The Shulhan Aruch (Yoreh De’a 95), based on the Gemara (Hullin 112), addresses the case of "Dagim She’alu Bi’k’ara Shel Basar" – fish which were cooked in a meat pot, and he rules that this fish may be eaten with "Kutah" – a dairy food. Although the taste of meat is absorbed in the pot, and this taste is imparted into the fish, the fish may nevertheless be eaten with dairy product. The reason is that the taste of meat imparted into the fish is "Noten Ta’am Bar Noten Ta’am" (an expression known by the acrostic, "Nat Bar Nat") – a "second degree" taste. This taste was first absorbed by the walls of the pot, and then imparted into the fish. By this point, the taste is not strong enough to qualify as "meat" with respect to the prohibition against eating meat with milk, and so the fish may be eaten with dairy foods. This would apply to any parve food, and thus rice cooked in a meat pot may be eaten with yoghurt.There is considerable discussion, however, regarding the scope of this lenient ruling. The Shulhan Aruch addresses the case of fish which already had been cooked in a meat pot, and one now wishes to eat the fish with dairy products. Accordingly, the Shach (Rav Shabtai Ha’kohen, 1621-1662), in his commentary to Yoreh De’a, asserts that this Halacha applies only after the fact, once the fish had been cooked in a meat pot. Le’chatehila (from the outset), however, one may not cook parve food in a meat pot with the intention of eating it with milk or dairy products. Although this food may be eaten with dairy products if it were cooked in a meat pot, one may not cook it in a meat pot with this intention from the outset. This ruling of the Shach is accepted by numerous leading Sephardic Poskim, including the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), the Kaf Ha’haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939), Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Jerusalem, 1924-1998), and Hacham Mordechai Eliyahu (1929-2010).According to this position, if one wants to eat parve food with a dairy product – such as rice with yoghurt – he must cook it in a parve pot (or, of course, in a dairy pot). If, however, the rice was cooked in a meat pot, it may nevertheless then be eaten with yoghurt after the fact.Hacham Ovadia Yosef understood the Shulhan Aruch’s ruling differently. Citing proofs from the Bet Yosef, Hacham Ovadia writes that the Shulhan Aruch did not intend to limit his ruling to a situation of Be’di’abad (after the fact), once the parve food had been cooked in a meat pot. Rather, he meant that this may be done even from the outset. Meaning, in the case of rice, one may from the outset decide to cook rice in a meat pot with the intention of then eating it with yoghurt. It emerges, then, that according to Hacham Ovadia, one does not need parve pots in his home, because he may cook parve food in either a meat or dairy pot, and then eat it with either meat or dairy products.Significantly, even the stringent opinion permits cooking parve food in a meat pot with the intention of eating it with dairy foods if the meat pot is "Eno Ben Yomo" – meaning, it has not been used with meat in the past 24 hours. In such a case, the taste of meat in the walls of the pot is considered "Noten Ta’am Li’fgam" – detrimental to the taste of the food now being cooked in the pot, and may therefore be disregarded entirely. Hence, such a pot may, according to all opinions, be used to cook parve food even with the clear intention to then eat that food with dairy products. According to Hacham Ovadia, it makes no difference whether or not the pot had been used with meat in the previous 24 hours, as either way, one may cook parve food in the pot with the intention of eating it with dairy products.It should be noted that Ashkenazim follow a far more stringent view, forbidding eating a parve food with dairy products even after it had been cooked in a meat pot which is "Ben Yomo." If dairy food happened to mix with this parve food, then Ashkenazim permit eating the food, but they do not permit adding dairy products to this food if it had been cooked in a "Ben Yomo" meat pot.Incidentally, it is worth mentioning that the Shulhan Aruch’s ruling clearly shows that fish may be cooked in a meat pot. Although it is forbidden to eat fish with meat, the Shulhan Aruch explicitly writes that fish that had been cooked in a meat pot is permissible. The explanation is that the Sages forbade eating fish with actual meat, but not fish into which the taste of meat had been imparted. Therefore, if one wishes to grill fish on a barbeque that had been used with meat (as many people do during the Nine Days, when meat is forbidden), this is allowed, as long as the barbeque is thoroughly cleaned to ensure that it does not contain any actual pieces of meat.Summary: According to Sephardic practice, it is permissible to cook a parve food in a meat pot with the intention of then eating the parve food with dairy foods, such as cooking rice in a meat pot to eat it with yoghurt. (And, vice-versa, one may cook a parve food in a dairy pot with the intention of eating it with meat.) However, many Sephardic Poskim maintain that this may be done only if the meat pot had not been used with meat in the previous 24 hours, but if it had, then although parve food cooked in the pot may then be eaten with dairy products, one should not cook the food in this pot with this intention. According to Hacham Ovadia Yosef, even if the pot had been used with meat during the previous 24 hours, one may use it to cook parve food with the intention of then eating that food with dairy products.

The Gemara in Masechet Erubin states that if enemies of the Jews wage battle against a Jewish community on Shabbat, then everything necessary to effectively respond to the threat and defend the community should be done, even if this requires violating Shabbat. However, the Gemara says that this applies only if the enemies seek to kill Jews. If their intent is to seize the Jews’ property, then the community is required to surrender their money. The Shabbat prohibitions are waived for the sake of saving human life, but not for the sake of protecting property, and so desecrating Shabbat is not allowed if enemies come to destroy or seize Jews’ property.However, the Rosh (Rabbenu Asher Ben Yehiel, Germany-Spain, 1250-1327) cites the Or Zarua (Rav Yishak of Vienna, 13th century) as ruling that nowadays, even if gentiles attack to destroy or seize Jews’ property, there is reason to fear that they are prepared also to kill. The Gemara in Sanhedrin (82) addresses the case described by the Torah of "Ha’ba Ba’mahteret" – a burglar who breaks into one’s home to steal, and whom the Torah allows the homeowner to kill. Although the burglar’s intent is to rob, the Gemara explains, the Torah nevertheless permits the homeowner to kill the burglar because the burglar anticipates the possibility of a violent confrontation. The burglar breaks into the house knowing full well that if he is detected, the homeowner will defend his property and put up a fight. As such, the burglar comes in anticipating the possibility of having to kill the homeowner. This anticipation renders him a "Rodef" ("pursuer"), who seeks to kill, and the Torah therefore allows the homeowner to kill the burglar in self-defense. The Or Zarua applied this concept to situations where violent groups seek to loot and rob. Since they anticipate the likelihood of resistance, they can be presumed to be prepared to kill. Therefore, if they come on Shabbat, affected communities may violate Shabbat in order to protect their property – as they are in effect protecting their lives, as well.The Shulhan Aruch cites the Gemara’s ruling, and then adds, "There is one who says" (referring to the Or Zarua) that nowadays, one may violate Shabbat to defend against groups who come to seize property, given the potential risk to life. The Kaf Ha’haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939) writes that when the Shulhan Aruch uses the expression "Yesh Mi Sh’omer" ("There is one who says"), he accepts that ruling. Thus, the accepted Halacha permits violating Shabbat to protect a community from looters, even if the looters intend only to rob, because they mighty also perpetrate acts of violence in the process. The Magen Abraham (Rav Abraham Gombiner, 1633-1683), cited by the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933), maintains that this applies only if a community comes under attack. If people come to steal from only one Jew, the Jew may not violate Shabbat for the sake of defending his property.As for the practical Halacha, then, when groups of rioters are looting in Jewish neighborhoods on Shabbat, it would be permissible to violate Shabbat in order to protect the threatened property, given the real possibility of a threat to life.Summary: If groups of rioters are looting in a Jewish neighborhood on Shabbat, it is permissible to violate Shabbat in order to protect the threatened property, given the possibility that the looters might resort to life-threatening violence.

If somebody forgot to turn off the light in his bedroom on Shabbat, and keeping the light on would cause him considerable discomfort, as he would be unable to sleep properly, is it permissible for him to ask a non-Jew to turn off the light?Turning off a light is forbidden on Shabbat only Mi’de’rabbanan (by force of Rabbinic enactment). The Torah prohibition of extinguishing on Shabbat refers only to extinguishing a flame in order to produce a coal. If one extinguishes a fire because he does not want the fire burning, but not to produce a coal, then this constitutes a "Melacha She’enah Tzericha Le’gufah" – a Melacha performed for a different purpose. According to Rabbi Shimon – and Halacha follows his opinion – performing a "Melacha She’enah Tzericha Le’gufah" on Shabbat is forbidden only Mi’de’rabbanan, and not on the level of Torah law. Moreover, when the object that is kindled is incapable of becoming a coal, such as a metal object, then extinguishing the flame is forbidden only Mi’de’rabbanan according to all opinions. The filament inside a light bulb clearly cannot be made into a coal, and thus turning off electric lights is forbidden only Mi’de’rabbanan, and not on the level of Torah prohibition.As such, when it comes to asking a non-Jew to turn off a light, we may employ the rule of "Shebut Di’shbut Bi’mkom Saar" – it is permissible to ask a non-Jew on Shabbat to perform an act that if forbidden Mi’derabbanan, if this is necessary to avoid discomfort. Accordingly, Hacham Ovadia Yosef rules (in Hazon Ovadia, vol. 1, p. 256; listen to audio recording for precise citation) that if a person will experience considerable discomfort if the light remains on, such as if he does not feel well – even if he is not actually sick, but experiences some pain – then one may ask a non-Jew, such as a housekeeper, to turn off the light. However, Hacham Ovadia’s son, Hacham David Yosef, writes (Amira Le’akum, vol. 1, p. 201) that it is preferable in such a case to ask the non-Jew indirectly, rather than explicitly ask that he or she turn off the light.Summary: If a light was left on in a bedroom before Shabbat, and leaving it on would cause a person discomfort, then he may ask a non-Jew to turn it off, but he should preferably ask indirectly.

Could music one day be something we experience through augmented reality, responding to the way we move through the world? Sound supplemented with colours and shapes? Mavis Wong/The Conversation NY-BD-CC, CC BY-SAYou probably heard your first strains of music when you were in utero. From then on it’s helped you learn, helped you relax, hyped you up, helped you work, helped you exercise, helped you celebrate and helped you grieve. Music is ingrained in so many aspect of our lives, but it’s also the subject of a significant body of academic work. Today’s episode of Trust Me, I’m An Expert is all about research on music. We’ll be hearing from Dr Ben Swift, a digital artist and computer science lecturer from the Australian National University on how technology is changing the way we interact with music. Could it one day be something we experience through augmented reality, responding to the way we move through the world? Sound supplemented with colours and shapes? And Conversation intern Juliana Yu spoke with Dr Clint Bracknell, a researcher at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music about how he’s investigating the power of song to help address the national and global crisis of Indigenous language-loss. He’s working on this research with Wirlomin Noongar Language and Stories Inc. And we’ll hear from researcher Dr Hollis Taylor, most recently at Macquarie University, who has been studying, recording, and transcribing pied butcherbird song for 12 years. Taylor produces what she calls “re(compositions)” – musical arrangements that mimic and complement pied butcherbird song. Trust Me I’m An Expert is a podcast from The Conversation, where we bring you stories, ideas and insights from the world of academic research. Special thanks today to Shelley Hepworth and Juliana Yu, as well as academics Hollis Taylor, Ben Swift and Clint Bracknell. You can download previous episodes of Trust Me here.

When you simply reach for glass of water, it’s actually not so ‘simple’ – there’s a lot of coordination going on between your visual cortex, brain and motor skills. But it all happens so fast, it seems like an involuntary movement that doesn’t involve actual planning by the brain. Understanding how the brain plans for such ‘goal-directed’ action is what interests graduate student Deborah Barany of the University of California, Santa Barbara. "What are the brain maps that are involved during planning reaches or different complex skills? We use both functional imaging and structural imaging to really be able to understand the brain dynamics and structural changes that underlie both normal actions, as well as neurological disorders of movements or concussions, things like that – what’s going on in the brain." Barany hopes their research may someday advance neural prosthetics. "By looking at human behavior and human movement with an FMRI and these other techniques, we’re able to parse out the information that might be useful to use in this neural decoding."
