The holiday of Shabuot is included among the three "Regalim" ("pilgrimage festivals"), when there is an obligation of Simha – to rejoice and be festive. The Gemara says that according to all views among the Sages, there is an obligation to enjoy oneself on Shabuot. Beyond the spiritual enjoyment that we experience by studying Torah, there is also a Halachic obligation to rejoice through physical enjoyment. The Sages teach that for men, this means indulging in meat and wine. Although there is a widespread custom to eat some dairy meals on Shabuot, one should make a point of eating meat on Shabuot, as well. One can fulfill this obligation with red meat, which resembles the meat of the sacrifices that were brought in the Bet Ha'mikdash on the holidays, or even with poultry, if that is what he enjoys, even though it does not technically qualify as "meat." If a person does not enjoy meat and wine, then he should eat whatever foods and drinks he enjoys. There is certainly no Misva on Yom Tob to eat foods that one does not enjoy. One is also obligated to make his children happy on Yom Tob. The Rambam (Rabbi Moshe Maimonides, Spain-Egypt, 1135-1204) writes that this is done by giving them treats, candies and the like. The Misva also requires making one's wife joyous, and the Rambam writes that one should purchase new clothing or jewelry for his wife before the festival. If one's wife does not need new clothing or jewelry, then he should buy her other gifts, even fine foods and the like. It is proper to immerse in a Mikveh on Ereb Shabuot to purify oneself in honor of the festival and in honor of the commemoration of Matan Torah.

arashat Re'eh concludes with the command to celebrate the festival of Sukkot. The Torah instructs: "You shall rejoice on your festival… For seven days, you shall celebrate for Hashem your G-d…for Hashem your G-d will bless you with all your grain, and in all your endeavors; and you shall only be joyous" (16:14-15). Twice in these verses the Torah appears to command us to rejoice on Sukkot. It first commands, "Ve'samahta Be'hagecha" ("You shall rejoice on your festival"), and then says, "Ve'hayita Ach Samei'ah" ("you shall only be joyous"). What is the meaning of this dual imperative? Rashi brings two interpretations of these verse. First, he suggests, the Torah adds "Ve'hayita Ach Same'ah" not as a command, but rather as a promise. If we properly fulfill the Misva of Simha (rejoicing) on Sukkot, then we will be assured to experience genuine happiness and joy throughout the coming year. Secondly, Rashi cites the Gemara's understanding of the phrase "Ve'hayita Ach Same'ah," as extending this obligation to the eighth day, the day of Shemini Aseret. The Torah first introduces the Misva to rejoice during the seven days of Sukkot, and then adds that we must joyously celebrate also on the eighth day. Rav Meir Simha of Dvinsk, in his Meshech Hochma, suggests a different explanation of "Ve'hayita Ach Same'ah." He notes that in the first verse, the Torah commands celebrating the year's crop, which is gathered into the warehouses around the time of Sukkot – "You shall rejoice…for Hashem your G-d will bless you with all your grain…" The celebration of Sukkot is integrally linked to the harvest, to the farmer's joy upon completing that year's agricultural cycle, having just now brought all his produce into storage for the winter. However, Rav Meir Simha notes, there are some years when no produce is collected. Every seven years, farmers must observe Shemita, refraining from agricultural work for an entire year, and granting all people free access to their fields. At the end of the Shemita year, the farmer does not harvest anything, because he had not worked the fields, and anything that grew was taken by other people. Rav Meir Simha thus suggests that the additional command "Ve'hayita Ach Same'ah" refers to Sukkot after the Shemita year. The Torah emphasizes that even during this year, when there is no harvest to be thankful for, the farmer must still observe a festive Yom Tob, and celebrate his relationship with Hashem. Baruch Hashem, most of us have "filled warehouses" for which to be grateful to Hashem. The vast majority of us have an income, a home, and the ability to purchase all that we need, and much more. But the Torah here teaches us that even when our "warehouses" are not "filled," even in times of financial uncertainty, we can and must still retain our joy. We must be able to celebrate our relationship with Hashem, and the privilege we have to serve Him, under all conditions, even in times of hardship. No matter what we are going through, we can find comfort and joy in the knowledge that we are Hashem's beloved children, and that He has chosen us as His servants. The command "Ve'hayita Ach Same'ah" calls upon us to experience joy in our connection to Hashem at all times and under all circumstances, even during life's more challenging moments.

The holiday of Shabuot is one of the three "Regalim," and, as such, the Misva of "Ve'samahta Be'hagecha" (rejoicing on the holidays) applies. In fact, the Gemara in Masechet Pesahim (68b) comments that with regard to the holiday of Shabuot, all opinions agree that the observance must include an element of "Lachem" – physical enjoyment – because this is the day when the Torah was given. The Gemara relates that Rav Yosef would prepare an "Igla Tilta," an especially scrumptious meat delicacy, in honor of Shabuot, because, in his words, "If not for this day, there are many Yosef's in the marketplace." Meaning, it is only because of the giving of the Torah on Shabuot that we are able to achieve spirituality, and this day therefore warrants festive celebration. The Rambam writes in Hilchot Yom Tob (6:18) that the Misva of Simha (rejoicing) on Yom Tob requires partaking of meat and wine. In this context, "meat" refers specifically to red meat, and thus one must make a point of eating red meat on Shabuot. The primary Misva of Simha applies during the day, so one should have wine and meat – at least a Ke'zayit – during the daytime meal on Shabuot. It is proper to drink wine at night, as well, though on the first night on Shabuot one should minimize his wine consumption so he would be able to remain awake throughout the night. The daytime meat meal should preferably be eaten before Hatzot (midday), which this time of year is approximately 1pm. Of course, as we know, there is a time-honored custom to eat dairy products on Shabuot, and "Minhag Yisrael Torah" – established customs are to be regarded like Torah law. However, this custom should not prevent one from fulfilling the Misva of eating meat. Therefore, some people have a dairy meal at night and a meat meal for lunch the next day. It should be noted that having a dairy meal on the first night of Shabuot might be a good idea in any event as the men who remain awake throughout the night might want to drink coffee with milk, so it would be advisable not to eat a meat meal that night. One can also fulfill the custom by eating something dairy, like cheesecake, in the morning after the prayer service, before lunch. Hacham Ben Sion Abba Shaul (Israel, 1923-1998) said that one can fulfill the custom with any dairy food, even an ice cream pop. If one eats a dairy meal with bread in the morning, and then has a meat meal later, he must ensure not to use the same loaf of bread for both meals. If a loaf of bread was used at a dairy meal, there is a reasonable chance that it came in contact with dairy foods, in which case it may not be eaten with meat. One must therefore ensure to use a separate loaf for the meat meal. It should also be mentioned that when one buys Hallot in the supermarket, care should be taken to ensure they are wrapped in bags so that they do not come in direct contact with any dairy food. Sometimes, even packaged dairy foods such as yoghurt could have residue on the packaging, and if a Halla touches the packaging it might become dairy. One should therefore ensure that the Hallot are properly wrapped before they are placed in the cart. In conclusion, Hacham Ben Sion Abba Shaul suggested a novel insight to explain the importance of eating meat on Shabuot. One of the reasons given for the custom to eat dairy foods on Shabuot (as cited by the Mishna Berura) is that Beneh Yisrael were unable to eat meat immediately after receiving the Torah. Once they received the Torah, they needed to learn all the rules for slaughtering animals and to prepare proper knives, and so on. They therefore had no choice but to eat dairy products, as they needed to eat before they were ready to prepare meat in accordance with Torah law. Hacham Ben Sion suggested that since that year Beneh Yisrael were unable to properly observe the Misva of Simhat Yom Tob, as they could not eat meat, we make a Tikkun (rectification) by ensuring to eat meat on Shabuot. Just as we remain awake throughout the night as a Tikkun for Beneh Yisrael's having slept until the morning of Matan Torah, when they should have been awake eagerly anticipating their receiving the Torah, we similarly make a Tikkun for their not having eaten meat on Shabuot that year. Summary: Although there is a custom to eat dairy foods on Shabuot, there is also a strict Halachic obligation to eat meat and drink wine on Shabuot, at least during the day. Therefore, one should fulfill the custom either by eating a dairy meal at night or by eating some dairy product in the morning, before lunch. One must ensure not to use the same loaf of bread at both a dairy meal and a meat meal.

Which leadership traits are ideal and who decides? How important are confidence and assertiveness versus interpersonal sensitivity and empathy? Are we better off with the relaxed, caring, leader who strives to “do it harmoniously,” or the motivated, inspirational leader who strives to “do it together”? The logical, cautious leader who strives to “do it right,” or the determined, competitive leader who strives to “do it now”? Which traits are associated with positive outcomes, and which are associated with negative outcomes? Emerging research is showing that it is time to reexamine a broken system that constantly praises traits that can lead to dark leadership, exploitativeness, and abuse of power. Is much of the advice we give women to help them advance serving to snuff out the very traits we should be valuing in women AND men? #Tunein to this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast to learn more about ideal leadership traits.
