How Many Mitzvos?
This episode continues the halachos in Siman 334 on what may be rescued from a fire on Shabbos. We clarify how much food may be saved, the rules for Shabbos when it borders Yom Kippur or Yom Tov, and why certain days permit saving more than others. The discussion explains when one may save food for after Yom Kippur, when raw materials may be taken, and the distinctions between saving on Shabbos versus other holy days.We then cover the limits on carrying containers, how combining items affects what is permitted, and why a person may make multiple trips when wearing clothing but not when carrying food.Finally, we examine when neighbors may help, how declaring items ownerless works, and under which conditions helpers may be compensated after Shabbos.

What Is The Mitzvah?
siman 340:13 in Chelek Gimmel- Hilchos Shabbos by Rabbi Tzvi Thaler
Dirshu Mishnah Berurah November 27, 2025
Jewish law prohibits bread (Pas Akum), cooked foods (Bishul Akum), and milk/cheese (Chalav/Gevinat Akum) prepared by non-Jews, not because the food itself is biblically non-kosher, but because the Sages wanted to limit close social bonding and the risk of intermarriage in ancient times, while also guarding against real kashrut problems (non-kosher animals, fats, etc.). For bread, a Jew must bake it or at least turn on the oven (Pas Yisrael); for cooked foods, the dish must be something not eaten raw and fit for a royal table, and a Jew must participate in the cooking; for milk, a Jew must supervise the milking (Chalav Yisrael) and cheese-making.In modern America (2025), government regulation and abundant kosher options have dramatically relaxed many of these rules according to the vast majority of poskim: supermarket bread (Wonder Bread, H-E-B, etc.) is permitted when no Jewish bakery is nearby, regular USDA milk and butter are kosher (Chalav Stam per Rav Moshe Feinstein), and most factory-canned, sealed, or restaurant foods where a Jew turned on the flame are fine, provided that everything cooked was Kosher. The gold standard for the meticulous remains Pas Yisrael, Bishul Yisrael, and Chalav Yisrael whenever reasonably available, but for everyday life in the U.S., plain coffee, beer, and grocery-store staples are reliably kosher.The episode concludes with a transition to the Ask Away #24._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #70) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

This episode covers the halachic details of performing circumcision on Shabbat, focusing on how to protect the infant after the procedure, what types of coverings may be used, and how to transport necessary materials within halachic limits. We review when hot-water washing is permitted, both before and after the circumcision, and how changing medical norms impact current practice. The discussion includes when one may rely on a non-Jew for assistance, how to handle concerns of squeezing or washing cloths on Shabbat, and the status of the infant regarding potential danger.We also examine the rules for a mohel performing the procedure on Shabbat—especially if it is his first time—along with the division of the circumcision steps among multiple practitioners. The episode concludes with the opening of Siman 332 regarding assisting an animal in birth on Shabbat and the limits of permissible involvement.

In this episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of the laws of salting (kashering) meat and poultry to remove prohibited blood, covering Halachot 15–28 from Siman 36. He details specific preparations for various animal parts, including the head (cut and salted inside/outside), bones with marrow, legs (hooves trimmed), heart and lungs (cut open), liver (requires roasting over fire after cutting and rinsing, not just salting), spleen (membrane removed), intestines, stomach (milk drained), and eggs found inside birds (salted separately and considered meat). Additional rules address meat left unsalted for 72 hours and singeing birds post-feather removal. Rabbi Wolbe shares a personal story of witnessing a heart harvest during a medevac flight, reflecting on the miracle of the human body and daily gratitude to God. The episode concludes with a preview of immersing non-Jewish utensils in a mikvah and an invitation for listener questions.The episode concludes with a transition to the Ask Away #22._____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode (Ep. #70) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!
