Rambam and Raavad on levels of Tumah Dioraisah | Tum'as Mes 19:6 | Rabbi Eli Nosson Silberberg

The Shulhan Aruch (244:5) rules that it is permissible to hire a Non-Jew as a personal tailor or secretary, on a yearly basis. Even though the Non-Jew might make the suit or write the letters on Shabbat, it is still permissible, since the Jew doesn't care when he does it. There is no benefit to the Jew if the employee does the work on Shabbat; he is paying him an annual retainer. This leniency is based on the opinion of the Rambam. The Shulhan Aruch then brings down a "yesh omrim", the Raavad, prohibiting such an arrangement. The Raavad argues that if the Non-Jew performs the task on Shabbat, the Jew benefits the availability of the employee on Sunday to carry out new tasks. Nevertheless, the Shulhan Aruch himself holds that, in principle, it is permitted. However, this leniency only applies to cases in which the Non-Jew is performing work on his own premises. A Non-Jew is never allowed to do work in the Jew's house. Therefore, the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) rules that maids are not allowed to violate the Shabbat in the home of their Jewish employer. Even if they would be paid on a per-task basis, which is not the usual arrangement, it is still prohibited because of M'arit Ayin . There are some poskim that even prohibit work done by the maid for her own personal benefit, e.g. doing her own laundry. However, clearly, a maid is not allowed to do the laundry of her Jewish employer in their home on Shabbat, even if she is only doing it then to clear her schedule. A maid is allowed to do work in a prohibited way that could have been performed by in a permissible fashion by the Jew. For example, she is allowed to wash dishes with hot water, since the Jew could also have washed them with cold water.Those that employ help in the house must be very careful to know the parameters of what work is permissible for them to do and what is forbidden.SUMMARYIt is permitted to hire a Non-Jewish tailor or secretary on an annual basis to perform work on demand in the Non-Jew's premises.It is never permitted for a Non-Jewish maid to do prohibited work in the home of the Jew on Shabbat.A Non-Jewish maid is allowed to wash dishes with hot water on Shabbat in the home of a Jew.

Rambam versus Raavad on adding conditions | Edus 3:5 | Rabbi Eli Nosson Silberberg

Pharaoh brought it all on himself with his big fat mouth

See Rambam,Raavad, Even Yisrael (Eiruvin 1-11)

If he was one of the four greatest Rishonim, why is he not better-known?

This morning (10/29/21), in our "Machshavah Lab" series for women, we had two objectives: (1) to examine the permissibility of Eliezer's actions in this week's parashah in light of the Torah prohibition of nichush (divination/omen-reading), and (2) to clarify on a theoretical level the distinction between permissible and prohibited ways of utilizing signs. We examined this topic in light of the Gemara which is the source of these halachos, which we analyzed according to five Rishonim: Rambam, Raavad (including Rashi and Tosafos), Sforno, Radak, and the Ran. Our most difficult challenge was attempting to make sense of R' Yochanan's actions in the Gemara, which - according to the Rambam - would seem to be both prohibited and utterly foolish.----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by R.R. in appreciation for all the growth and insight that she has gained from these shiurim.

Shalom Ubracha- It is quite unnecessary to state here how stressful the last fourteen months have been. As Klal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated the bracha of wide attendance in Shiurim and access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery. Over twenty-five years ago, I listened with rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said the Rambam,Maimonides, was the Girsa DaYankusa of his father, which the prodigy grew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all of Mishna Torah etched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip. However,it was in that other Moshe, Nachmanides, that the elder Soloveichick discovered his intellectual approach and soul. It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or where Ramban levels his often withering criticism of Rambam's position. There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagos to the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos. In his classic towering Perush on Chumash,Ramban forcefully attacks many of Rambam's explanations of mitzvos and interpretations of biblical events. We can together discover anew these diamond like gems of codification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbs that issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Note: This is essentially the same shiur I gave in my Rambam Bekius chavurah at YBT on 2/15/21, but this one is slightly shorter, due to the length of the periods at Lomdeha. Also, I didn't mistakenly refer to the Riaz as the Rid in this shiur! This morning (2/16/21 at Lomdeha) we took up a side-quest: to defend the Rambam against a charge leveled by the Riaz (R' Yeshaya Acharon di'Trani). The Rambam famously held that one who believes that Hashem has a body or an appearance qualifies as a "min" (heretic). The Riaz, like the Raavad, disagreed with the Rambam's psak and explains his reasoning. Our defense was drawn from the best Rambam defender of them all: the Rambam himself! The Rambam reveals the mistaken premise on which the Riaz's conclusion is based. Since yesterday was Presidents Day, we then read an excerpt from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson on the topic of Jewish morality in which he relies on an "expert" historian of philosophy who commits the same error as the Riaz. Lastly, we read an excerpt from Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman's book, "Ani Maamin: Biblical Criticism, Historical Truth, and the Thirteen Principles of Faith," which frames the errors of both men as an example of fallacious anachronistic thinking.----------מקורות:ריא"ז - קונטרס הראיות סנהדרין דף פח עמוד ב - צ עמוד ארמב"ם - פירוש המשניות, מנחות ד:אLetter from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams (10/12/1813)Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman - "Ani Maamin: Biblical Criticism, Historical Truth, and the Thirteen Principles of Faith," pp.191-193 ----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

This afternoon (2/15/21 at YBT) in our Rambam Bekius chavurah we took up a side-quest: to defend the Rambam against a charge leveled by the Riaz (R' Yeshaya Acharon di'Trani). The Rambam famously held that one who believes that Hashem has a body or an appearance qualifies as a "min" (heretic). The Riaz, like the Raavad, disagreed with the Rambam's psak and explains his reasoning. Our defense was drawn from the best Rambam defender of them all: the Rambam himself! The Rambam reveals the mistaken premise on which the Riaz's conclusion is based. Since today is Presidents Day, we then read an excerpt from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson on the topic of Jewish morality in which he relies on an "expert" historian of philosophy who commits the same error as the Riaz. Lastly, we read an excerpt from Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman's book, "Ani Maamin: Biblical Criticism, Historical Truth, and the Thirteen Principles of Faith," which frames the errors of both men as an example of fallacious anachronistic thinking.IMPORTANT NOTE: All references to the Rid (רי"ד) in this shiur are really supposed to be references to the Riaz (ריא"ז). At the beginning of shiur I noted that there are two Rishonim named R' Isaiah di'Trani. I mistakenly thought that they were only differentiated by their titles "the Older" and "the Younger" and that the acronyms of רי"ד and ריא"ז were used for both. Turns out that they are really two different people! My sincerest apologies to the רי"ד for misrepresenting his views.----------מקורות:ריא"ז - קונטרס הראיות סנהדרין דף פח עמוד ב - צ עמוד ארמב"ם - פירוש המשניות, מנחות ד:אLetter from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams (10/12/1813)Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman - "Ani Maamin: Biblical Criticism, Historical Truth, and the Thirteen Principles of Faith," pp.191-193 ----------Bekius Disclaimer: Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur. Each session consists of us reading through the Rambam's writings together without much preparation on my part, and without going into depth by consulting commentaries or primary sources. For all these reasons, there are bound to be inaccuracies, errors, and other types of shortcomings which would not be acceptable in a prepared shiur, but are quite typical of a bekius chavurah.

Today's learning Sponsored lizchus Refuah Sheleimah Naftali ben Devorah Esther b'soch shar cholei Yisroel Sponsor a day's learning (thousands of minutes!) for only $72 click here https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/ODUwOTU Rav Chisda quoting Ravina bar Shila: The marror that grows in the swamps [meririsa d'agma] can be used on Pesach for marror. Summary Challenge: “‘Eizov' mentioned in the Torah excludes ‘Eizov-Yavan', ‘Eizov-Kuchli', ‘Eizov-Midbari', ‘Eizov-Romi', or any Eizov with a hyphenated name.” (Meririsa-d'agma should thus be disqualified as Marror). Abayye: A hyphenated name must have been hyphenated at the time the Torah was given. Rava: ‘Meririsa D'agma' is not an added name at all, it is merely a description of where it grows [in swamps]. Rav Chisda: One object is not considered a bundle* (11.1), three objects tied together are considered a bundle. Two objects is a debate between Rabbi Yosi and the Chachomim. Mishna: For the mitzvah of “a bundle of Eizov”: Three stalks with three branches (each stalk requires only one branch). Rabbi Yosi: The mitzvah requires three stalks but if two remain, it's good enough. The remnants (in case it breaks) are kosher at any size. It seems that according to Rabbi Yosi two are considered a bundle, only that there is an optimal mitzvah to use three, while the Chachomim require three for it to be considered a bundle. Challenge: “Rabbi Yosi: If one started with two stalks and finished with one, it's possul. It is only kosher if he begins with three and ends with two”. Resolution: Indeed, Rabbi Yosi insists on three to start with. When the Chachomim required three, it was only for an optimal mitzvah. __________ * See ‘Bonus Discussion' for the debate between the Rambam and the Raavad regarding the relevancy of this statement and the ensuing sugya.

Tie me tight! - Rambam and Raavad on the Avneit - Rabbi Mendy Cohen - Klei Hamikdash 8:10

What are angels and what is their function? According to Rambam, they are immaterial, disembodied intellect; Raavad and others consider them to be composed of rarefied matter that sometimes becomes visible to humans. These mysterious divines that fill the Torah's pages are the intermediaries of the transcendent God, agents through which He interacts with the universe.

If you decide to stop eating, but then change your mind, can you continue without making a new beracha? (The Rambam and the Raavad disagree on this point.) What about if you say that you are going to say Birkat HaMazon, or Kiddush (if you're eating on late Friday afternoon)or Havadalah (if you're having seudah shlishit) - in these cases, must you stop and do so, or is it acceptable to change your mind and continue?

The Daf Yomi from a Psychological Perspective For Mareh Mekomos Click Below תָּהֵי בַּהּ רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר. Rabbi Elazar wondered at Rabbi Yoḥanan's ruling that the Sages had acted well when they rented the gentile's property on Shabbat and then they renounced their rights to that one, so that at least it would be permitted to use the courtyard. Tosafos Kesuvos 2b וכל אמורא היה תופס לשונו כמו מגדף בה ר' אבהו (סנהדרין ג:) תהי בה ר' יוחנן (ב"ק קיב:) לייט עלה אביי (ברכות כט.): And each amoro had his expression for introducing his thoughts. For example: R' Abohu castigated (Sanhedrin 3b).See Artscroll there who translates מגדף as an expression of surprise. See the notes there where he explains מגדף as castigating. This explanation seems to be how Tosfos here understands this word. R' Yochanan pondered (Bovo Kamo 112b).In Bava Kamo 66a and Airuvin 76a Artscroll translates this word as ‘examined'. Tosfos seems to equate this word with castigating and condemning as is evident from the fact that Tosfos is proving that the amoroim used different introductions to express the same idea. Obviously, Tosfos holds that these words are interchangeable. Abaye condemned (B'rochos 29a). If each Amora chooses a particular phraseology, what is the personal lesson or significance in this phrase “Tahiy Bah”? תהי בה ר"א - בהא מילתא דאמרן לעיל ששכרו מן הנכרי ואח"כ ביטלו ותהי לשון מריח כמו בת תיהא דמסכת ע"ז (דף סו:) כלומר מעיין ומחשב לדעת טעמו של דבר: According to Rashi “Tahi” means to metaphorically sniff and and carefully evaluate the issue as one may check wine for quality and stability. Ra'avad Sefer Yetzira 1:11 ואפשר שלפי מיעוט התבוננות הנבראים במעשים אשר בתהו ההוא קראם תהו מלשון תוהא ומשתומם מלשון התלמוד תהי בה פלוני ואפשר שנקרא תהו ע"ש שחזרו לתהו או לדבר אחר ועוד נבאר במקומו בעז"ה According to Raavad it seems to mean more like confusion and disorganization about the issue, which is supported by Shita Mekubetezes Bava Kama 76b תהי בה רבי אלעזר. פירוש תהי מקשה ולישנא דאתמוהי הוא. גאון ז"ל. And Shita Mekubetezes Nedarim 9b כשהן תוהין. לשון פחד כשהן מתפחדים על עבירות שבידם. ומשמע כמו עושה לבן תווהין תווהין. פירוש. כשהן תוהין נוזרים. כלומר מתחרטים מעונותיהן אז נוזרים. וחברו בתוהא על הראשונות. וקצת נראה מהכא שאין משמעותו ממש לשון חרטה כמו שפירש בעל הערוך מדקא מייתי אחר כך ומתחרטים. על כן יש לומר משמעותו הישר לשון תמהון כלומר שמצטערין מעונותיהן שעשו לשון תהי בה ר' אלעזר שהוא לשון תמה. I believe that These two different interpretations, Rashi and the Shita, represent two different ways to approach learning something new. In order to learn something new, one has to let go of old assumptions. There are two ways to do so: One is through logic, and the other is through emotions: Rashi's idea is about being open and curious. A logical and rational approach that carefully analyzes and tests all assumptions. The Shita's approach represents something emotional and visceral, the idea of becoming confused, surprised and amazed at this new information. Rashi's concept fits University of Wisconsin-Madison's description of an Analytic Learner: Analytic Learners Analytic Learners are primarily interested in acquiring new and accurate facts that lead to their understanding of concepts and processes. They learn by thinking through their experiences, judging the accuracy of what they encounter, and examining details. They integrate their observations into what they already know. They think through ideas and enjoy formulating theories, models and plans. They want to know what the experts think and judge new learning by how theoretically sound it is. They seek continuity and certainty. They tackle problems with logic and analysis. Educators need to give them facts to deepen understanding. The Analytic Learner's favorite question is “What?” The Shita's concept fits University of Wisconsin-Madison's description of a Dynamic Learner: Dynamic Learners Dynamic Learners are primarily interested in self-directed discovery. They learn from their perceptions and the results of their experiences. They rely heavily on their own intuition and seek hidden possibilities. They seek challenges and are risk takers. They like to connect things together and make what is already working, work better. They love putting new “spins” on things and flourish in unstructured, chaotic environments. They continually strive to grow and reach new heights. Educators need to let them teach it to themselves and others. The Dynamic Learner's favorite question is “What if?”

Over which foods is one forbidden from making a beracha? How does the Raavad disagree with the Rambam on this point?

Rav Pincus notes an interesting Raavad that shows us the power of Bitzur and its ability to obviate the need for Malachim.

Rabbi Aryeh Klapper is Dean of the Center for Modern Torah Leadership, Rosh Beit Midrash of its Summer Beit Midrash Program and a member of the Boston Beit Din.Rabbi Klapper is a widely published author in prestigious Hebrew and English journals. He is frequently consulted on issues of Jewish law from representatives of all streams of Judaism and responds from an explicit and uncompromised Orthodox stance.In this Shiur, given recently as a ZOOM video conference,Rabbi Klapper brings to the fore the essential sources behind the decisions necessary to navigate the Corona lockdown,in allowing otherwise unacceptable Halachic positions.e.g. listening to the Megillah reading on Purim,or holding a Minyan through video or teleconference,using a bathtub for a women's Mikvah needs.The Rabbi takes us through a number of the germane Talmudic texts in Sukkah and Nidah,with special emphasis on the opinion of the Tanna Rebbe Yehuda Bar Ilai who regularly allows questionable actions to stand once performed,and the debate between Rashi and Tosfos of how Rebbe Yehuda HaNasi was able to stand by what appeared as a mistaken Psak,due to the principle of Shaas HaDachack.Rabbi Klapper delineates the parameters of reliance on minority opinions due to great monetary loss by investigating the essential argument between Rav Moshe Issereles and Rav Yoel Sirkis as to the significance of Halachic stature the Posek that one wants to rely on holds among the normative majority.Turning to the fascinating Machlokes between the Raavad and Rosh if a dried out Lulav or Esrog can ever be seen as an object to truly fulfill the Mitzvah of the Torah,Rabbi Klapper after expertly staking out the Rosh's extremely novel position, finds precedence in the compromise position of the Bais Yosef to laying a groundwork of adaptation to the situation that confronts us.Rabbi Klapper's warning of indiscriminate use of Halachic opinions penned in the last century when the technology and physical constructs were extremely different is an important call to be heeded by the Poskim attempting to provide direction to a Klal Yisroel overwhelmed by the changes wrought by Covid-19The Yeshiva of Newark @IDT is proud to partner with Rabbi Klapper to help spread his scholarly thoughtful ideas and Halachic insight to as wide an audience as possible .Please visithttp://www.torahleadership.org/for many more articles and audio classes from Rav Klapper and to find out about his Summer programs as well as Rabbi Klapper's own podcast sitehttps://anchor.fm/aryeh-klapper.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For what foods must a person wash before eating? Which ritual washings require a beracha? Does washing before prayer also require a beracha? And does Mayim Acharonim - washing before Birkat HaMazon - require a beracha? (Hint: it's an argument between the Rambam and the Raavad.) And finally: how can the blessing state that G-d commanded us to wash our hands, when there is no such Biblical commandment?

When is it improper to make a beracha over food? What is the argument between the Rambam and the Raavad about this issue?
