Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
On "Shabbat Zachor," the Shabbat before Purim, we take two Torah scrolls from the Heichal. After reading the regular Torah portion from the first Torah, we open the second scroll and read for the Maftir reading the final verses of Parashat Ki-Teitzei (Devarim 25:17-19) which command us to recount Amalek's attack on Benei Yisrael. According to many Halachic authorities, including the Shulchan Aruch, the annual reading of these verses constitutes a Torah obligation. The Zachor reading differs in this regard from the standard Torah reading, in that it is a Torah obligation. In light of the unique status of the Zachor reading, is it proper for the congregation to read along with the Ba'al Koreh (reader) from their Chumashim as he reads Zachor? Although some Rabbis indeed encouraged reading Zachor along with the Ba'al Koreh, Chacham Ovadia Yosef, in his work Chazon Ovadia (Laws of Purim, p. 4), rules that to the contrary, this practice is inappropriate. Firstly, he notes that the Torah introduces the obligation to recall Amalek's assault with the term "Zachor" (literally, "Remember") – the same term with which the Torah introduces the obligation of Kiddush on Shabbat (Shemot 20:8). The Sages understood the word "Zachor" as a reference to verbal recitation, thus requiring that one verbally declare the sanctity of Shabbat every Shabbat, and verbally recall the incident of Amalek once a year. As we know, one can fulfill his obligation of Kiddush by listening to its recitation from somebody else. The Halachic principle of "Shomei'a Ke'oneh" establishes that by carefully listening to somebody else's recitation, one is considered to have personally recited the given text. Therefore, one is not required to personally recite Kiddush on Shabbat, and it suffices for him to listen to its recitation by another person. Similarly, the obligation to read the Zachor section can be fulfilled by listening to the reader, and there is thus no need for the congregation to read the verses of Zachor along with the Ba'al Koreh, as they satisfy their obligation by carefully listening to his reading. Furthermore, Chacham Ovadia adds, the Zachor obligation requires reading this section from a proper Torah scroll. Therefore, the congregation can fulfill their obligation only by listening to the Ba'al Koreh's reading, whereby they are considered to have themselves read the Zachor section from a Torah scroll. If they read from their Chumashim, then they do not fulfill their obligation. It is therefore appropriate for the congregation to remain perfectly silent during the Zachor reading and carefully listen to each word read by the Ba'al Koreh. There is some discussion among the Halachic authorities as to whether or not women are included in the obligation to hear the Zachor reading, and therefore many women indeed make a point to come to the synagogue on Shabbat Zachor to hear this reading. Many communities conduct a special Zachor reading on the afternoon of Shabbat Zachor for women who are unable to attend synagogue services in the morning. Some Rabbis discouraged this practice, arguing that it is inappropriate to take the Torah scroll from the Heichal for this reading, since no Beracha is recited over this reading and it is unclear whether or not it is in fact required. Chacham Ovadia Yosef, however (In Chazon Ovadia – Laws of Purim, p. 10), encourages this practice, claiming that reading the Zachor section for women is indeed a worthy enough purpose to warrant removing the Torah from the Heichal. He draws proof to his position from the practice of Rabbi Moshe Greenwald (early 20th-century author of the "Arugat Ha'bosem") to remove the Torah from the Heichal each morning during the first twelve days of Nissan and read from the section of the "Nesi'im" in the Book of Bamidbar (7:1-8:4). Even though reading from the "Nesi'im" section during this period is not required by Halacha, and is merely a Minhag (custom), this practice is deemed worthwhile enough to allow removing the Torah from the Heichal. Certainly, then, it is proper to conduct a special Zachor reading for women in deference to the view among the authorities that the Zachor obligation applies to both men and women. Why is no Beracha recited over the Mitzva of reading Zachor? Many Mitzvot that we perform require the recitation of a Beracha. Seemingly, then, before the Zachor reading we should recite the Beracha "Asher Kideshanu Be'mitzvotav Ve'tzivanu Li'zkor Ma'aseh Amalek." Why did the Rabbis not require the recitation of a Beracha before the performance of this Mitzva? Chacham Ovadia (Chazon Ovadia – Laws of Purim, p. 11) cites those who answer this question on the basis of the Gemara's comment in Masechet Megila (10b) that the Almighty does not rejoice in the destruction of the wicked. Although the wicked people in the world must be eliminated, their death should not be a cause of joy and celebration. Thus, for example, when the ministering angels wished to sing a song of praise upon the drowning of the Egyptians in the sea, God exclaimed, "My creatures are drowning at sea – and you wish to sing a song of praise?!" Therefore, even though we must conduct a special reading to recall the obligation to destroy Amalek, the Sages chose not to require the recitation of a Beracha, which would express a feeling of joy and excitement over the destruction of the wicked. Summary: On the Shabbat before Purim we read for the Maftir reading the section of "Zachor" from a separate Torah scroll. The congregation should remain silent during the reading, rather than read along with the Ba'al Koreh (reader). Some authorities require women to hear this reading, as well. Many communities therefore conduct a special Zachor reading during the afternoon of Shabbat Zachor for women who cannot attend the morning services, and this is a proper practice.

Summary On this episode of Healthcare Market Matrix, host John Farkas delves into the pressing challenges facing healthcare Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) with esteemed guests Todd Nelson, a former hospital CFO and current Director of Partner Relationships at Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), and Trish Rivard, founder of Eliciting Insights. The episode is anchored on findings from HFMA's comprehensive 2024 study, which surveyed one hundred and thirty-five CFOs from one hundred and thirty-two health systems, exploring economic constraints, margin pressures, and emerging trends in healthcare finance. A staggering forty-seven percent of CFOs identified supply chain issues as a primary margin pressure, while escalating costs in pharmaceuticals and medical devices were noted as significant challenges by eighty-six percent and seventy-three percent, respectively. There's a delicate balance between innovation and cost efficiency, especially when clinician familiarity with products and physician malpractice insurance comes into play. The ongoing labor shortage, particularly in nursing, exacerbates these challenges, pushing health systems to adopt strategies like outsourcing and wage increases to retain staff. Cybersecurity, though less pressing than supply chain issues, has seen a fifty percent uptick in spending, further amplified by a major vendor data breach. While the potential of AI in healthcare elicits mixed reactions—split equally among those expecting cost reductions, increases, or no change at all—only eight percent of health systems feel ready for AI integration. Vendors are urged to educate health systems on AI implementation and governance for sustainable partnerships. The episode also sheds light on the pandemic's lasting impact on labor costs, with ninety-six percent of CFOs citing labor as a major concern, and a whopping ninety-nine percent highlighting nursing worries specifically due to contract labor costs. Reimbursement complexities and payer denials, particularly with Medicare Advantage plans, are other significant pain points. Effective vendor relationships and tailored solutions are emphasized as crucial for navigating these multifaceted challenges. Ultimately, the dialogue underscores the importance of understanding and addressing CFOs' specific pain points for building trust and driving effective, long-term partnerships in the healthcare sector.

Summary On this episode of the Faith & Work Podcast, we learn about cultivating creativity and imagination from cartoonist Mike Maihack. Mike is best known for his series Cleopatra in Space, originally published by Scholastic and later adapted by Dreamworks into an animated show. Through our conversation, Mike shares some of the ways he views his creative work in light of the gospel, shares how he has navigated public criticism of content creation and recounts some of his own personal journey with being a cartoonist. Highlights On Superheroes and the Gospel: “What I love about superheroes... is that there's these characters that have these immense abilities, these things that we can't even imagine being able do ourselves. And yet, instead of using these abilities for selfish purposes... They use it to do things that Jesus would do. They would help the poor. They would make sure they're saving those that cannot save themselves, they're sacrificing themselves. They're always looking at the greater good despite maybe the hurt that causes them. They're always looking at every single other person that they're around is a much greater person than themselves, despite them having these abilities." On Making Beauty: “My spiritual drive is God, he's a working God. He spent all this time creating us, creating the world. He is still working on it, and I want to please Him by cultivating that as much as I can. Really trying to contribute to that world, mak[ing] sure that world stays beautiful because I think that's the ultimate end goal right there, is to make sure this world is ready when a heavenly realm appears. And it is we're putting things in this world that he wants to see. And so that's sort of spiritually how I approach my work."

It will ideally be used for people who don't have access to luxury, first-world amenities, so it can bring everyone up to speed with one device.” - Daizhan Ennals, (2:10) “These technologies that are going into the S.A.M. are being developed and promoted independently. There's just no one gluing them together. And that's what Renewed Robotics is doing, we're more of a technology integrator, not necessarily a technology inventor.” - Daizhan Ennals, (8:03) “One of the most difficult parts of founding such a capital intensive product is getting a lot of people to actually understand the full scope of what you're doing and then having faith that you can execute on that.” - Daizhan Ennals, (10:19) “The referral program is to incentivize those who have already placed a pre-order. Right now, a lot of people who are interested in the device have been advocating for free, telling people about the device, but it would be even better if we could reward those people who are spreading the word about the S.A.M.” - Daizhan Ennals, (19:37) “Currently, my number one need is actually being met, and that is, there's a collaborative space being built in Bentonville where you can have an idea go from concept to reality.” - Daizhan Ennals, (22:00) “I think one of the bigger things that people don't really talk about when it comes to sustainability, that maybe we should approach going into the future, not only is electricity, but access to clean and healthy drinking water.” - Daizhan Ennals, (25:56) “The aspiration of everybody being united for one force and solving our problems by focusing on something bigger has always been a driving factor…I would like to focus on making something that no matter how you look at it makes sense that it's there for good.” - Daizhan Ennals, (30:10)

What's the worst that will happen if you try?” - Jenna Kempkes, (14:34) “I hear the word entrepreneurship and I [think] I'm too young. I can't do that. I still feel that way sometimes because it's this scary world and you hear these people and everything they've given up for it…I didn't realize that it could be something I explored safely at the University and that I didn't have to have some big idea…And now I've realized you don't have to start a business to be an entrepreneur.” - Jenna Kempkes, (20:11) “Encourage an open mind. Having an open mind about everything around you is life changing...and so that closed mindset could have stopped me from a lot of things, but I'd want to encourage myself to take those opportunities. There's nothing wrong with failing. A lot of people want to be perfect, they're high achieving. It's scary to fail, but it's okay to fail. And I feel like I've learned more through my failures than I have through my successes.” - Jenna Kempkes, (23:12)

And there's a guy at Harvard who leads their healthy building program who says your facility or building manager has a bigger impact on your health than your doctor does.” - Peter Mann, (7:13) “We're really kind of, shockingly in some ways, in the early days of understanding the impacts of poor indoor air quality and what we're doing is really just trying to raise awareness for [the danger of that] as well as provide solutions that are affordable and accessible.” - Peter Mann, (8:14) “For me, I think how I got to where I am is largely in part due to [being autistic] and that drive for autonomy. I don't know anyone who's autistic that worked their way up through a large organization to the top, but I know several folks that are autistic that started their own business…if your interest is work or producing new things or bringing products to market or working on problems, and that's where you get your energy, I think that's definitely an advantage.” - Peter Mann, (14:28) “You're going to work most of your life. You could have a fifty year career and you don't have to crush it in year one…and everything always takes longer so you have to have patience and be able to stick with it.” - Peter Mann, (24:38)

And it's just the nature of this thing that you get help. And I think the best entrepreneurs seek help and are more self aware and more vulnerable to put themselves out there.” - Chris Heivly, (10:40) “The very nature of being in an entrepreneurial community is one of disruption, is one of discovery, is a process of knowns and unknowns, with the best intent and with the best motivation.” - Chris Heivly, (17:03) “The basis for our view is around systems theory, and in systems theory there's either three or four types of systems. But along this continuum from simple to chaotic are two systems, complicated and complex. And although they're synonymous in the dictionary, in systems theory, they couldn't be more opposite.” Chris Heivly, (19:30) “People think networking is a transaction. It's not, it's a connection. And I found the value in connecting with people and asking them two questions. Asking them what they're stuck on and asking if there's any way I could help them. And in doing that, I helped other people, and then other people helped me.” - Chris, Heivly, (23:48) “To close the gap between success and failure you have to use your network, and your network is your community.” - Chris Heivly, (24:57)
