Most people assume sleep breaks wudu — but is that always the case? In this episode of al-Muwatta, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explores a narration from Umar ibn al-Khattab (Kitab at-Taharah, Hadith 10) and walks through seven major scholarly views on the impact of sleep on wudu. From deep sleep to light naps, sitting to lying down — the rulings differ, and so do the reasons behind them. Towards the end, the lesson dives deep into the evidences brought by those who argue that sleep does not break wudu — and the detailed responses to that view. An eye-opening discussion every student of knowledge needs to hear.

During the year there is a set way in which we can grow and improve from one "level" to the next. However, over Pesach Hashem allows us to "skip" levels.
During these weeks of Shovavim, the Mashgiach talks about how one can ensure a healthy home for themselves.

#IslamicStudies #Fiqh Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, I'm Zayd Haji, currently pursuing a Postgraduate Program in Islamic Science at Zad Academy. My aim is to deepen my understanding of our Deen and enhance my grasp of its teachings. Today, I'd like to share key insights from our recent Fiqh studies, focusing on its essential principles and their impact on our daily lives. The Importance of Fiqh Fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence, guides our actions to ensure they align with the Qur'an and Sunnah. As Allah says: "We did not send [messengers] before you [O Prophet] except mere men inspired by Us. If you [polytheists] do not know [this already], then ask those who have knowledge [of the Scriptures]." (Qur'an 16:43) The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) highlighted the importance of understanding religion: "If Allah wants to do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the religion. I am just a distributor, but the grant is from Allah. This nation will continue to follow Allah's teachings until the Day of Judgment." (Sahih al-Bukhari 71; In-book reference: Book 3, Hadith 13) He also said: "He upon whom Allah intends to bestow goodness, He confers upon him an insight in religion. I am the treasurer. To one whom I give out of [my own] sweet will, he would be blessed, but he whom I give due to his begging is like one who eats but is not satisfied." (Sahih Muslim 1037a; In-book reference: Book 12, Hadith 126) Additionally: "He to whom Allah intends to do good, He gives him insight into religion. And I am only the distributor while Allah is the Bestower." (Sahih Muslim 1037b; In-book reference: Book 12, Hadith 129) Understanding Fiqh is crucial as we will first be questioned about our Salah on the Day of Judgment. The Role of Purification in Salah Purification is essential for valid Salah. Every book of Fiqh begins with the chapter on Taharah (purification), emphasizing its importance. The Qur'an instructs: "O believers! When you rise up for prayer, wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, wipe your heads, and wash your feet to the ankles. If you are in a state of [full] impurity, then take a full bath. If you cannot find water, then purify yourselves with clean earth by wiping your faces and hands. It is not Allah's Will to burden you but to purify you and complete His favor upon you, so perhaps you will be grateful." (Qur'an 5:6) Types of Purification Purification in Islam includes two main types: Spiritual Purification (Taharah al-Batinah): This concerns the purity of faith. A Muslim is spiritually pure through faith in Allah and adherence to His commandments. Those who reject faith are described as spiritually impure: "O believers! Indeed, the polytheists are [spiritually] impure, so they should not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year." (Qur'an 9:28) Physical Purification (Taharah al-Zahirah): This involves cleansing the body, clothing, and prayer area from physical impurities. It includes: Ritual Impurity (Hadath): Affects the ability to perform Salah and can be major or minor. Physical Impurity (Najasa): Visible impurities such as urine or blood must be cleansed before Salah. Practical Application of Purification For our Salah to be accepted, both types of purification must be observed. Major impurities require Ghusl, while minor impurities can be removed with Wudu. Physical impurities must also be cleansed. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "The key to Paradise is Salah, and the key to Salah is Wudu'." (Jami` at-Tirmidhi 4; In-book reference: Book 1, Hadith 4) This Hadith highlights the critical role of purification in our worship and success in the Hereafter. Conclusion Practicing purification is vital for every Muslim. It involves both maintaining physical cleanliness and preparing spiritually and physically for Salah. As we continue our studies in Fiqh, may Allah grant us the knowledge and understanding to worship Him correctly and sincerely. Wa Alaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
Hi everyone! Welcome to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today, we're diving into the deep, spiritual world of mikvah and the mitzvah of Taharat HaMishpacha, or the laws of family purity.NOTE: While all of our podcasts are targeted to women, this one specifically is for women, as per the request of the speaker.Also an important note, I know this is a mitzvah that not everyone may be able to participate in right now for various reasons, so if it's a sensitive topic, that is totally okay and you can feel free to skip this one if it's not for you.This is a big one. Mikvah is kind of a mystical topic and has so much power.So this week, I am speaking with Miriam Goldberg. Miriam is a renowned educator who lives in Sanhedria, Jerusalem with her husband Rabbi Yitzchak Goldberg. Both she and her husband have been involved in teaching and guiding chassanim and kallahs for more than a decade as well as providing halachic and martial counseling for married couples.Together, they wrote a book called Wellsprings of Taharah, which is a guide complete with halachic and hashkafic guidance about this important mitzvah.They are also the founders of the Chizuk Series website, where they offer in-person and recorded sessions for men and women in taharat hamishpacha, shalom bait, emunah and tefilah which have become popular internationally.Miriam is actually launching a new series that goes way more in-depth into this topic starting on June 16 so if you like what you hear in this episode and want to learn more, you can join here!In this episode, we speak about:-Why the mitzvah of mikvah can become bland and rote over time and what to do about it-Why it's so important to continue learning about the mitzvah and its laws after you're married, not just before-Important perspective on how to love the mitzvah more if it's one you're struggling with-Why the investment in the mitzvah is so important and some really powerful stories around that-Why the mitzvah of mikvah may be harder in our generation-Why the mikvah waters provide a unique spiritual environment to connect to Hashem-How to get more out of your entire mikvah prep and the experience once you're there-Tips to make the niddah period easier if it's hard for you-How to connect to mikvah night after you've had an argument with your husband and feel emotionally disconnected…and SO MUCH MOREMiriam is just a fountain of information and a wealth of knowledge and she shares deep and powerful concepts in a really attainable and truly thought-provoking way. Hope you enjoy!If there's a woman you want to see here or a topic you want featured, send an email to alex@chaionlifemag.com or send a DM to @chaionlifemag. Thanks so much!
In this episode, Rabbi Daniel Sayani presents two diametrically opposed traditions of approaching Taharah and other post-mortem religious practices. The Mystical/Sephardic approach found in Responsa Yaskil Avdi (Y.D. 4:24) and the pragmatic/"litvishe" approach espoused by the Igros Moshe (Y.D. 3:135-137). We discuss the later innovation of dipping the deceased into the mikvah and what such practices mean theologically and economically for the common Jew.
The Mashgiach gives a schmooze on the topic of Shovavim and explains how we need to better ourselves—not merely because we "have to" but rather because we "want to gain" what a life of spirituality has to offer.
With the parshiyos of "Shovavim" beginning once again the Mashgiach discusses what the avoda is during these weeks.

Season 1 of Meaningful Judaism is ending, but before we go, we just have to share some extra Torah that didn't make it into earlier episodes. There's the beautiful idea about angels that got cut from our episode on tzitzit – but we've found some amazing new evidence, so we're bringing it back! And then there's the problem of fish and birds. They got left out of the episode on kosher animals, so how do they fit into our theory of why some animals are kosher and not others? Join Imu Shalev and Beth Lesch as they reveal the answers to these questions, reflect on the reactions to our first season, and look ahead to Season 2.Have feedback for us?

It's one of the most famous of the Torah's laws: no eating bacon! But is there any particular reason for this restriction? Why does God permit us to eat cow but forbid pig? In this episode, Imu Shalev and Beth Lesch look for clues in the Torah's language and zoom in on something that's easy to miss: The Torah never actually says "Pigs aren't kosher." Actually, the word “kosher” doesn't appear at all in the Chumash (the Five Books of Moses). The Torah uses an entirely different word to describe those animals which we are permitted to eat, a mysterious word that most people wouldn't associate with the topic of kashrut at all. Could it be a clue to the deeper meaning behind why the Torah allows us to eat certain animals and not others?Meaningful Judaism is a project of Aleph Beta Labs.

Why the Yehi Ratzon after one counts sefira focuses on "removing negatives" as opposed to "increasing positives."
What does it look like to treat those who die with dignity? How can Jewish leaders mourn for and alongside their communities while maintaining the sacred mantle of leadership? In this week's episode, we were blessed to learn with and from Cantor Yugend-Green, the current Cantor of Oak Park Temple (a special place for Executive Producer, Edon Valdman!). We look at the role of the Chevra Kadisha, the special Jewish burial laws and practices, and what it means to maintain silence (or even what NOT to say) in the face of great adversity. Hebrew Terms Used in This Conversation: Chevra Kadisha: a burial society, literally “holy friend,” who prepare the deceased for burial Met/Metah: the deceased (m and f forms) Taharah: purifying the body for burial, pouring water Kavannah: intent “Vayidom Aharon”: And Aaron was silent (Lev. 10:3) Rosh: the head of the ritural M'chilah: a prayer asking for forgiveness (for inadvertent indignity caused by taharah) R'chitzah: gentle cleansing of the deceased Halbashah B'Tachrichim: dressing of the deceased in burial garments Tuma/tamei: impure, unclean or “vulnerable” Tahor: pure, clean, or “whole” “Baruch Dayan haEmet.”: “Blessed is the true Judge” “Hamakom Yenachem Etchem B'toch Sh'ar Avelei Tzion Viyrushalayim”: “May God comfort all of you among the rest of the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.” To continue the conversation: Cantor Julie Yugend-Green's email: jygopt@comcast.net Past Episode on Death/Chevra Kadisha: Vayechi with Sarit Wishnevski: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/XiowZ3dwOyb Find us on social media: Facebook: Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist Instagram: @DrinkingandDrashing Website: www.drinkinganddrashing.com Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/xeeghhpSy3 Show the love with some Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist merchandise at store.drinkinganddrashing.com, and don't forget to subscribe and give us a rating on Apple Podcasts—it's a great way to help our show grow!

The Haftarah for Parah gives a couple of homiletical shout-outs to Tumah and Taharah. But, what do these shout-outs actually have to do with Parah Adumah? What is the difference between a heart of stone and a heart of flesh? We will answer these questions and discuss the spiritual organ transplant which we apparently require especially at this time of year.

Rabbi Stark contemplates the ideas of Tumah and Taharah, as well as their connection with the Parah Adumah.
With a fresh and beautiful perspective, Mrs. Pierkarski gently reframes the thinking of Tumah/Niddah as a negative state, and challenges the feelings of resentment one may have towards the Mitzvah of Taharas HaMishpachah. This episode will change how you view the laws of Mikvah, as you listen to remarkable insights on Tumah, Taharah, Harchakos, and the joint partnership of husband and wife in keeping Taharas HaMishpacha.

Rabbi Kalman Worch leads the Shiur through the beautiful passages of this classic work of the Italian scholarRabbi Shimshon Chaim ben Rabbi Nachman Michal Nachmani, who passed away in 1779 .Rav Shimshon in his extensive essays on Parshas Shmini,working off the final section of the Parsha and the Pasuk לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַטָּמֵ֖א וּבֵ֣ין הַטָּהֹ֑רquotes a long form of our Havdalah Bracha that makes mention of Tumaah and Taharah and the Upper and Lower primordial waters,and the distinctions between Kohanim,Leviim and Yisroelim.Rabbi Worch leads the class through Rav Shimshon's ingenious deciphering of the list that bears on the fundamentals of our faith and will enhance your recitation every Motzei Shabbas.The last part of the lecture deals with the fascinating sources that indicate that many aspects of our Kashrus laws will be altered in the Messianic age,the Zera Shimshon explains this startling concept and allows it to be the springboard into next week's Torah reading,Tazria and the underscoring of the Mitzvah of Milah in its first few verses and why circumcision is performed even on Shabbas.Rabbi Shimshon Chaim had only one child, a son, who died at a young age. Rabbi Shimshon Chaim decided to dedicate his 'Sefarim' to the memory of this child who had no continuity of a family. Hence the name "Zera Shimshon" In the introduction to his work,he promises that anyone that takes upon himself to learn from his writing, will be granted"children, praise, health, 'parnasa', wealth, honor".We thank the Illinois Center for Jewish Studies for the use of this materialPlease 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.
