His neighbor, John, is a non-Jew, who obviously has no reservations about being the cause of hezek riya. John is now selling his house to a Jew. The new neighbor, Feivel, moves in and Reuven tells him that because his window faces Reuven's pool, there is a problem of hezek riya and Feivel has to either close off the window or pay to build a fence. Is Reuven correct?Answer: The Gemara says that a Jew who buys a house from a non-Jew has the same rules as the non-Jew he bought the house from. The Poskim debate whether this means that he gets the same halachic disadvantages of the non-Jew, or if he also gets the potential advantages as well. According to the opinion that he gets the advantages of the non-Jew, Feivel would not have to close off his window, just like the non-Jew could not be required to do that. According to the opinion that the Jew only gets the disadvantages of the non-Jew, however, he would be required to close off the window.The Rema rules that the Jew gets the advantages of the non-Jew, but the Shulchan Aruch disagrees and rules that he does not. Practically speaking, Reuven probably would not be able to force Feivel to close off his window. 

Can I tell a non Jew to cook for me on Shabbat!?Halachot of Shabbat!!

Chagigah 13a: Teaching a Non Jew Torah + Lifnei Iver

A question from a mishnah in Zevachim that contradicts the text here - because of the purging, preparation of the vessels here. Specifically on how that which is absorbed is either permitted or forbidden - and whether that makes a difference. But are the sacrificial meat and the non-Jew's utensils really comparable? Also, a story to close the tractate - that highlights the discussions from the tractate - including non-Jewish practice, including the relationship and dynamic between Jew and non-Jew. Plus, the need for taking care with Halakhah - and making sure that you represent yourself well.

An incident took place in Mehoza - a non-Jew asked a Jew if he has wine to sell. After he is told no, he shoves his hand into a barrel of wine and mixes it and asks: Isn't this wine? -- what now is the status of that wine? Note the shofar-blowing to announce the issuance of a "p'sak din" - halakhic decision. To what extent has libation been involved in this kind of case? Moreover, note the different practices and the different levels of knowledge in various places - from Mehoza and Nehardea, and more. (All the cases brought in an attempt to refute Rava) Also, some of the sages were drinking wine, and the invite someone who later was determined to be a non-Jew. Other beverages, including beer, would have a different concerns (or none, as the case may be). If one sees wine, why would they suggest it was beer (maybe it's at night?). Also, note the difference between bishul akum, for example, and the issues here, which are from the Torah, and more concerned about idolatry than fraternizing.

Jewish law has a number of rules limiting the involvement of non-Jews in the kosher kitchen, including limits on cooking, baking, milking and making wine. Each of these limits have exceptions and work-arounds allowing non-Jews to people involved in most Kosher food preparation. A fascinating discussion about the rules concerning non-Jews in a Kosher kitchen. 

**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.

This is a wonderful interview with Caleb Shraeder, from Kansas City, who was motivated to let go of Christianity after hitting 'rock bottom' and embrace Judaism and the Torah. In this interview Caleb talks about his transition in life through discussion with Rabbis and learning the Torah portions. Caleb lets us into the trauma he experienced as a nurse, and the philosophy he's developed behind workwork. Caleb is a man with purpose and meaning, who once did not have any. He is a father and says he now has joy in his life.

More on the Noahide Laws - and the puzzling nature of law for people who are not necessarily paying any attention to Torah's requirements for them. Plus, some contrasts between the Noahide law an ramifications as compared to the Jewish legal system, for example. Also, the academy of the Bnei Menashe, who have a different list. Plus, are women part of the Noahide judicial system? Also, the biblical textual support that includes a non-Jew in the Jewish legal system -- for example, if a non-Jew violated an prohibited illicit sexual relationship with a Jewish woman, who is then tried in the Jewish system.

2 Minute Halacha- Asking a non-Jew to open a fridge on Shabbos by Rabbi Avi Zakutinsky

The Mourner's Kaddish - Saying It For a Non-Jew by Rabbi Avi Harari

If the Sechach over one's Sukka fell off on Shabbat or Yom Tob during Sukkot, or some other part of the Sukka was ruined, thus disqualifying the Sukka, is it permissible to ask a non-Jew to repair the Sukka? At first glance, this question depends on the nature of the prohibition of building a Sukka on Shabbat or Yom Tob – meaning, whether for a Jew building a Sukka on Shabbat or Yom Tob constitutes a Torah prohibition, or a Rabbinic violation. As a general rule, one may not ask a non-Jew to perform on Shabbat activities which are forbidden for a Jew on the level of Torah law. However, when it comes to activities forbidden for a Jew on Shabbat Mi'de'rabbanan (by the Rabbis), one may ask a non-Jew to perform such activities under certain circumstances, such as for the sake of a Misva. Therefore, if building a Sukka on Shabbat or Yom Tob is forbidden for a Jew by Torah law, it would seem that one would not be allowed to ask a non-Jew to do this on Shabbat or Yom Tob. But if this is forbidden for a Jew only Mi'de'rabbanan, then it should be permissible in order to facilitate the Misva of Sukka. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) addresses the question as to whether building a Sukka on Shabbat constitutes a Torah violation (in 626:20), and leaves this issue unresolved. Surprisingly, however, in a different context (637:1), he writes that one may ask a non-Jew to rebuild a Sukka that had fallen down. Later writers noted the seeming contradiction between these two passages in the Mishna Berura, as in one context the Mishna Berura questions the status of building a Sukka on Shabbat or Yom Tob, considering the possibility that this is forbidden by force of Torah law, whereas elsewhere he seems to assume that it is forbidden Mi'de'rabbanan. Various answers have been suggested to reconcile these two passages. Some suggest that the Mishna Berura distinguished between Shabbat and Yom Tob in this regard, considering the construction of a Sukka a possible Torah violation on Shabbat, but a Rabbinic violation on Yom Tob. Others propose that the Mishna Berura distinguished between a case where one's Sukka fell down, where there is greater room for leniency, and a case where one neglected to construct a Sukka before Sukkot, in which case we might be stricter and not allow him to ask a non-Jew to build a Sukka for him on Shabbat or Yom Tob. In any event, the Peri Megadim (Rav Yosef Teomim, 1727-1792) offered a different basis for leniency, claiming that building a Sukka would indeed violate a Torah prohibition on Shabbat or Yom Tob, but it would nevertheless be permissible to ask a non-Jew to do so. In such a situation where this is necessary, the Peri Megadim writes, one may rely on the position of the Ba'al Ha'ittur (Rav Yishak Ben Abba Mari, c. 1122-c. 1193) who permits asking a non-Jew to perform on Shabbat even activities forbidden on the level of Torah law, in situations of great need. Fulfilling the Misva of Sukka qualifies as a "great need," the Peri Megadim writes, and therefore, one may rely on this view to permit asking a non-Jew to rebuild a Sukka on Shabbat or Yom Tob when this is necessary. This was also the ruling of Rav Haim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1868). Hacham Bension Abba Shaul (Israel, 1924-1998), in Ner Sion, brings several Poskim (including the Bikureh Yaakob and the Baruch Ta'am) who maintain that since the Sukka is a temporary structure ("Dirat Arai"), constructing a Sukka on Shabbat or Yom Tob is forbidden only Mi'de'rabbanan. According to this view, we may apply the rule of "Shebut De'shebut Be'makom Misva" – that when this is necessary for a Misva, one may ask a non-Jew to perform on Shabbat an activity forbidden for Jews on the level of Rabbinic enactment. Therefore, in light of all this, Hacham Bension rules that if one's Sechach fell off the Sukka, or some other damage was done to the Sukka, one may ask a non-Jew to repair the Sukka on Shabbat or Yom Tob. Hacham Bension adds that the non-Jew may be asked to repair the entire Sukka, so that the people will be comfortable, and not just the minimum area required for the Sukka to be suitable for the Misva. Summary: If on Shabbat or Yom Tob during Sukkot, one's Sechach fell off the Sukka, or some other damage was done to the Sukka, one may ask a non-Jew to repair the Sukka.

A sukka does not need to be built "lishma," i.e., with the intention of building a structure within which one will fulfill the mitzvah of sukka. However, it must be built with the intention of providing shade. Therefore, the gemara (Sukka 8b) teaches that "sukkot ganbach," an acronym for sukkot constructed by those who not obligated in the mitzvah of sukkah, i.e., non-Jews, women, animals and cutheans, are valid. Some poskim, such as the Hida, write that preferably, a Jew should participate in the construction of the sukka, especially placing the sechach on the sukka. However, the Halacha clearly states that even if the entire sukka is built by a non-Jew, the sukka is valid.
