Rosh Chodesh Tamuz 5786

Rava establishes further laws regarding physical anomalies that render a lung a treifa. If cysts appear on the lung, a single cyst does not disqualify the animal, whereas two distinct cysts render it a treifa. Rava provides a method to inspect an ambiguous cyst to determine whether it is a single divided structure or two separate entities. Regarding the lobes of the lung - which normally consist of three on the right and two on the left – Rava rules that deviations from this norm disqualify the animal. Meriemar permitted an extra lobe provided it is perfectly aligned with the natural row. However, if an extra lobe develops internally facing the heart, its status is disputed, as Rav Huna Mar bar Avia notes that this configuration is common in wild animals, and therefore permits it. Rafram rules that a lung resembling a wood chip is a treifa, a tradition that receives five distinct interpretations in the Gemara to clarify in what way it is similar to a wood chip – in color or in feel. Rava delineates which lung discolorations are valid and which are problematic, a discussion expanded upon by Rav Kahana and Rav Sama regarding specific shades and appearances. Ravina addresses a scenario where a lobe of the lung fails to inflate, explaining that a test must be performed to determine if the lack of airflow is due to a fatal defect or merely a temporary obstruction. Ulla rules that if the internal tissue of the lung liquefies, the animal remains kosher because internal decay does not compromise the outer membrane. Rava qualifies this leniency, limiting it to cases where the primary bronchial tubes remain intact, and Rav Ashi outlines the practical examination method to verify their structural integrity.

Today in History: The memorial of Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson (of blessed memory), a Christian Zionist pioneer who died in 1947 CE (5707). Patterson was an Irish Christian, British soldier, hunter, and author. During World War I, he led the Jewish Legion, the first Jewish fighting force in almost 2,000 years. At his funeral in Israel, he was called “The Godfather of the IDF.”This week's portion is called Korach (Korah)TORAH PORTION: Numbers 16:14–19GOSPEL PORTION: John 10:1–21What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something you need to do in your life?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

What a marvellous world: a Rosh Chodesh meditation

Shabbat is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.Not Yom Kippur. Not Rosh Hashana. Not Pesach.Every single week.The proof is hiding in plain sight. The number of aliyos given on each day tells you exactly how holy that day is. Weekday: 3. Rosh Chodesh: 4. Yom Tov: 5. Yom Kippur: 6. Shabbat: 7.Seven. Every week.Judaism flips the whole idea of holidays upside down. The holiday that comes more frequently is actually holier. More sacred. More precious. God is giving us the highest holy day not once a year but once a week.שַׁבָּתוּבֵרַכְתּוֹ מִכָּל הַיָּמִיםוְקִדַּשְׁתּוֹ מִכָּל הַזְּמַנִּיםMore blessed than all the days. More holy than all the seasons.That is every single week. What a gift.#Judaism #Torah #Shabbat #Spirituality #Shabbos

This sicha explores the connection between the sanctity of the new moon (Rosh Chodesh) and the sabbatical year (Shemitah), both which entail resting and renewal. It discusses their respective roles in spiritual development, illustrating how they symbolize rejuvenation and dedication in one's service to God. https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/018/001_002

The Mishna rules that "one may always slaughter." Raba and Rav Yosef both understand this to refer to the period of Exile, but each explains it according to a different Tannaitic view - either Rabbi Yishmael or Rabbi Akiva. These Sages disagreed over whether the Jewsl in the desert were forbidden to eat meat unless it was brought as a sacrifice, or whether they were permitted to eat meat even without formal ritual slaughter (shechita). After delving into the debate between Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva and resolving various difficulties raised against each position, the Gemara challenges the explanations of both Raba and Rav Yosef based on the textual context of the Mishna. Ultimately, the Gemara concludes that the phrase "one may always slaughter" includes even a Jew who eats non-kosher meat l'teavon (out of appetite). The Gemara then analyzes which specific types of nicks in a knife disqualify a slaughter and render the animal a treifa, and which do not. The Gemara outlines various customs regarding the method used to check the knife, alongside a debate concerning which parts of the blade must be examined.

Rosh Chodesh Guest Speaker - Selig Davis - On Working And Learning by Shapell's Rabbeim

Today in History: The people of Israel arrived in the wilderness of Sinai (see Exodus 19:1). Korah and his followers were swallowed up by the earth on this day (according to tradition, see Numbers 16:18–50). The Prophet Ezekiel received a prophecyagainst the kingdom of Egypt. God gave him seven prophecies against Egypt and almost all of them mention the date (see Ezekiel 31:1–2).This week's portion is called Shavuot (Feast of Weeks)TORAH PORTION: Deuteronomy 14:22–29GOSPEL PORTION: Luke 24:1–27What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something about God?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of Shulchan Aruch Siman 44, focusing on Halachot 10–17 of Birkas Hamazon (Grace After Meals).

Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5786

In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of Shulchan Aruch Siman 44, focusing on Halachot 10–17 of Birkas Hamazon (Grace After Meals). He explains the order of insertions when Shabbos coincides with Rosh Chodesh, the rules for someone who is unsure whether they recited Birkas Hamazon, and the procedures for forgetting special additions like Retzei (Shabbos) or Yaaleh V'Yavo (Rosh Chodesh/Festivals).

Join us for an analysis of this week's special Haftorah from the book of Shmuel-the story of Yehonatan and David's final meeting. We look for a deeper connection to between the story and the concepts of Rosh Chodesh and suggest some perspectives on understanding stories of the great figures in Jewish History. If you enjoy the Toras Chaim Podcast, please help us spread the word! You can share a link on social media, leave a review or rating on your favorite podcast platform, or best of all, discuss what you've learned at the shabbos table!We love to hear from our listeners. Be it comments, questions or critique. You can send an email to overtimecook@gmail.com or elchononcohen@gmail.com or via instagram @OvertimeCook or @Elchonon.

In this conversation with Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash, we explore the Haftarah read the day before Rosh Chodesh: the story of David's absence from Shaul's Rosh Chodesh meal and Yehonatan's confirmation that David must flee from Shaul in order to remain alive (I Shmuel 20). This moment of crisis becomes the surprising birthplace of David's next life chapter. This year The Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftarah.

This sicha discusses the unity of the Jewish people on Rosh Chodesh Sivan as they prepared to receive the Torah. It emphasizes the importance of unity and harmony, as represented by 'one heart,' for the fulfillment of this divine mission. The Rebbe explores the spiritual and practical implications of this unity in accepting https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/028/002_001

Shiur given by Rabbi Bezalel Rudinsky on Halacha Tefilla. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

The Henry & Lisa Manoucheri Parsha Shiur  Parshiyos Tazria - M'Tzora & Rosh Chodesh Iyar The Tyranny of Leverage & its Myriad Forms  Versus Judaism's Ecosystem of Wellness (Blue Zones)

Diagram Unlike the showbread (lechem hapanim) and the two loaves (shtei halechem), for which there is a debate about when they are sanctified the minchat chavitin of the Kohen Gadol and regular meal offerings are sanctified the moment they are placed into a service vessel (kli sharet). From that point forward, they are considered holy and can be disqualified by factors such as being left overnight (linah) or leaving the Sanctuary. Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda disagree regarding the dimensions of the Table (Shulchan) and the measurements of the individual loaves that made up the showbread. The Mishna explains how the loaves were arranged on the Table according to these two opinions. Rabbi Yochanan calculated the maximum height at which the Table could sanctify the bread, based on the total height of the stacked loaves according to the respective views of Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Meir. The Gemara raised several difficulties with his statement but ultimately resolved them. Following this discussion, a dispute arose regarding the frame (misgeret) of the Table—whether it was fixed above the tabletop or beneath it. From there, Rabbi Yochanan linked these different opinions to a question regarding the ritual impurity of a "reversible table" (tavla hamit'pachet). What is clear from his words is that the Table was susceptible to ritual impurity. However, if it was a wooden vessel, a "wooden vessel made to rest in a fixed place" (kli etz ha'asui lenachat) should not be susceptible to impurity. The Gemara resolves this by Reish Lakish's explanation that the Table was moved and lifted to be shown to the festival pilgrims, thus categorizing it as a mobile vessel.

Study Guide The Gemara offers three suggestions for why the Shulchan, which was made of wood and covered in gold, was treated as a wooden vessel regarding the laws of impurity. After rejecting the first two possibilities, they conclude that the status is derived from a verse in Yechezkel, which describes the structure as "wood." This establishes that despite the gold plating, the table's essence is wood. Relating to the debate in the Mishna of the length and width of the Shulchan in handbreadths, there is a tannaitic debate regarding the two types of cubit measurements used in the Temple: some measuring five handbreadths and others measuring six. Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda disagree over which items followed which measurement, though both derive their positions from the same verse in Yechezkel 43:13. The verse specifically identifies four items - the yesod (base), the sovev (ledge), the keren (horns), and the Golden Altar - as using the five-handbreadth measurement. The core of their debate is whether this smaller measurement was restricted to these items or extended to all other vessels, including the Shulchan. In analyzing how these measurements were applied to the yesod and sovev, the Gemara initially assumes the five-handbreadth cubit referred to their height. When this is rejected, the Sages suggest it referred to their width. However, this second suggestion is also dismissed as the math does not align with the traditional dimensions of the Altar. Ultimately, the Gemara concludes that a uniform rule cannot be applied across all four items. Instead, it determines that for certain components, the five-handbreadth measurement applied to the height, while for others, it applied to the width.

Hilchos Rosh Chodesh - Taking Haircuts and Women Working

Study Guide

Study Guide

Today in History: The LORD gave Israel their first Torah commandment. It was to sanctify the new month, Rosh Chodesh, and to make Nisan the first month of the spiritual year (according to tradition, see Exodus 12:1–2)The Tabernacle was first set up in the wilderness today (see Exodus 40:2,17). King Hezekiah began rededicating the First Temple to the LORD (see 2 Chronicles29:17). The Prophet Ezekiel received a prophecy against Egypt. God gave him seven prophecies against Egypt and almost all ofthem mention the date (see Ezekiel 29:17–18). Today is the memorial of Major General Orde Wingate (of blessed memory). He was a Christian Zionist pioneer who died in 1944 CE (5704). Wingate was a British officer who helped train the first soldiers of Israel's Defence Forces (IDF). He became known as “The Father of the IDF.” After he died fighting in World War II, the Jews of Jerusalem prayed, “May the name of Orde Wingate be remembered in the book of redemption of the House of Israel for eternity.”This week's portion is called Vayikra (He Called)TORAH PORTION: Leviticus 4:1–26GOSPEL PORTION: Luke 6:37–49What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something you need to do in your life?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

Rosh Chodesh Nissan 5786

Shiur given by Rabbi Noam Peikes at Night Seder Thursday Night. Shiur recorded in Yeshivas Ohr Reuven, Monsey, NY.

More on aspects of Temple worship that are not essential to each other. Also, the treatment of the Temple offerings for Rosh Chodesh from the Book of Yehezkel (Ezekiel) - which is not the same thing as that which is commanded in the Torah. And once the Gemara is talking about a source from Ezekiel, it opens the discussion to other challenges -- including an important story of Rabbi Haninah ben Hizkiyah and how he explained all of the difficult passages of Ezekiel. Plus, a new mishnah! Bringing us back to the discussion of essentiality. With an atypical dispute in the mishnah itself - given the explanations for the respective opinions: Rabbi Akiva, Rabbi Shimon ben Nanas, and Rabbi Shimon.

This Wednesday's QA shiur is generously sponsored by Bernie Samet. In loving memory of his father, Yaakov ben Rachel, whose yahrzeit is on the 29th of Shevat; in memory of his mother, Chaya Sarah bas Gittel, whose yahrzeit is on the 26th of Shevat; in memory of his beloved wife, Baila bas Zlata, a"h; whose yahrzeit was on 13th of kislev and in memory of his sister's granddaughter, Rachael bas Rivka Tova, a"h, who was niftar on the 17th of Shevat. May the learning of this shiur serve as an aliyah for their neshamot.

Link to Ptil Techelet website. The Gemara brings two different versions of the incident involving Mar bar Rav Ashi, whose tzitzit were torn on Shabbat while he was walking home. This raises the subject of "kevod haberiyot" (human dignity), which overrides a "lo ta'aseh" (negative commandment) in the Torah. Both versions bring the explanation of Rav bar Shaba, who explained that this law refers specifically to the negative commandment of "lo tasur" (do not stray from the words of the Sages), meaning that it only overrides Rabbinic prohibitions. For tzitzit, one must place two strings of techelet and two white strings. The Mishna rules, however, that this is not essential – one can have only white or only techelet. Also regarding the tefillin of the hand and the tefillin of the head - they are two independent mitzvot and do not hinder one another; someone who has only one of them puts it on and recites the blessing over it. The Gemara suggests that the Mishna does not follow the view of Rebbi, who holds that the techelet and the white do hinder one another. He learns this from the verse "And you shall see him" (u're-item oto), which teaches that both must be together, while the rabbis learn that it is possible to see each kind separately. However, two other suggestion were brought to explain the Mishna according to the view of Rebbi: Rav Yehuda in the name of Rav: The law in the Mishna (that they do not hinder) was stated regarding the order of precedence. It is a mitzva to first place the white (since the white is the color of the "corner" of the garment, which appears in the verse first), but if one placed techelet before white, one has fulfilled the obligation, though the mitzva has not been performed in the most ideal way. Rava: The Mishna is speaking about gerdumin (remnants) of one of the colors - strings that were torn after they were already placed in the garment - the tzitzit remains valid. His words rely on the words of the sons of Rabbi Chiya, who said that remnants of techelet are valid. The minimum measure that must remain in a string to maintain its validity is "enough to tie them" (kedei le'anvan), meaning a length sufficient to make a slipknot. From the statement of the sons of Rabbi Chiya, Rava concludes that one must tie a knot on each and every "chulya" (group of windings) in the tzitzit. The reason for this is that if one does not tie a knot at every chulya, if just a short strand is permitted, the moment the string is severed above the first knot, all the windings will unravel and disappear. The knots between the chulyot ensure that even if part of the string is cut off, the structure of the rest of the tzitzit will be preserved and it will remain valid under the law of gerdumin. However, Rava's assumption is rejected as the sons of Rabbi Chiya may only permit gardumim when there are knots at every chulya.
