In this engaging Ask Away #23 episode of the Everyday Judaism podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe fields practical kosher questions emphasizing accessibility for all levels of observance. Key topics include acquiring utensils from non-Jews: new metal items require Tevilah (immersion in a mikvah) but not Kashering if unused, while repaired vessels over 3–5 ounces need re-Tevilah only if significantly renewed. Countertops like granite are easily Kashered with boiling water, but manufactured stones (e.g., quartz/quartzite) may pose absorption issues—consult a rabbi before purchase. Porcelain sinks can't be Kashered, favoring stainless steel; Formica Kashers via hot water pour-over or steaming iron. Grills reaching 600°F self-Kasher through Libun Gamur (full incineration), and oven self-clean cycles achieve the same.Callers explore nuances like rust (clean for health, not halacha), small vessels (exempt from re-Tevilah if repaired minimally), and non-kosher materials (wood, plastic, silicone can't be Kashered—dedicate new ones to meat/dairy/parve). Mikvahs are pristine via advanced filtration, with separate pools for women, men, and utensils to maintain sanctity. Rabbi Wolbe shares anecdotes, like koshering a friend's grill covertly or his grandmother's accidental dairy-after-meat dessert, stressing mistakes are growth opportunities—inform hosts of your kitchen status to avoid issues.On broader themes, Rabbi Wolbe advises against expecting moral perfection from politicians; Jewish voting prioritizes safety for Jews here and in Israel, reevaluating per election without herd mentality. Torah leaders (e.g., Rebbe Aaron Leib Steinman) exemplify angelic character alongside wisdom. The episode promotes mikvah tours, supporting Jewish products when possible, and embracing ones personal spiritual journey without shame.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________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. #73) of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

Trainwreck Of The Day Wednesday 5/21/25

Aharon Fischbein asked why the order Tzaraas is presented in the Torah (person, clothes, house) is the opposite of the order that the Rambam (Tumaas Tzaraas 16:10) and the Midrash Vvayikra Rabba 17:4) say occurs to a sinner. Rashi (Vayikra 14:36) says that when the Torah allows a person to remove his possessions from his house before the kohen declares it tamei with Tzaraas, this is merely to protect his (lowly) earthenware vessels from tumaah. On the surface, this seems extreme. This episode addresses both of these questions. Note: After I recorded, I noticed that the midrash (cited above) supports our explanation of the order that Tzaraas occurs.

Hey Collectors! On this episode of the Hoardganize Podcast I discuss how to declutter your kitchen of potentially toxic items. Below are some of the utensils and cookware that may contain chemicals that are harmful to you and your family (don't forget your fur kids either).  Utensils & Cookware That May Contain Chemicals 1. Nonstick Cookware (Teflon) Chemical: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and formerly PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) Risk: At high temperatures (over 500°F), nonstick coatings can break down and release toxic fumes. Tip: Use nonstick only on low/medium heat, avoid scratched pans, or switch to ceramic-coated alternatives. 2. Plastic Utensils & Storage Chemical: BPA, phthalates, and other plasticizers Risk: Heat (like dishwashers or microwaving) can cause plastics to leach these into food. Tip: Use BPA-free plastics, or switch to glass, stainless steel, or silicone. 3. Aluminum Cookware (especially uncoated) Chemical: Aluminum Risk: Acidic foods (like tomato sauce) can cause leaching; long-term exposure to aluminum is under investigation for health impacts. Tip: Use anodized aluminum or switch to stainless steel. 4. Copper Cookware Chemical: Copper Risk: Can leach into food if not lined (usually with stainless steel or tin). Too much copper can be toxic. Tip: Use only lined copper cookware. 5. Melamine Dishes Chemical: Melamine Risk: Can leach into food, especially when microwaved or used with hot foods. Tip: Avoid microwaving melamine and use ceramic/glass for heating. Remember, you can always see our episodes in person, on our youtube channel! 

Marine Le Pen has become the most recent right-wing leader to be disqualified for election by judges in her own country, throwing the entire definition of Western liberal democracy into question. In addition, the post-Trump era should have led to massive political correction for the Left, but while some companies and politicians have adjusted their strategy, many others have doubled down on wokeness. YouTuber the Aristocratic Utensil joins me to discuss whether wokeness has been defeated or has only just begun.

**Today's Halacha is dedicated f or the refuah and haslacha of Ronnie, Sharon, Eli and all the children of CARE** The Shulhan Aruch (Siman 452) rules that one may Kosher utensils for Pesah with Ha'agalah, even if they were used in the last twenty-four hours, so long as he does so before the fifth hour on Ereb Pesah. However, Maran continues (452:2) and adds that one should not dip a meat and milk utensil together into the same Ha'agalah water, if they were both used within the last twenty-four hours. The reason is that the meat and milk flavor absorbed in the spoons will be extracted in the boiling water and combine there to form a prohibited taste. If one of the utensils had a Pagum (impaired) taste, i.e. it was not used in the last day, then it is permitted to dip both utensils together. In the event one did dip both utensils together, it is permitted, B'divavad, after the fact. ------- Technically, a non-Jew may dip the utensils in the Ha'agalah vat, as long as a knowledgeable Jew is supervising. However, the Yalkut Yosef cites the Kav Hayashar that according to the Kabbalah, when one purges his utensils of Hames, he is actually purging his soul from sin, and therefore it is preferable that he does it himself. ------- Hacham Yishak Yosef emphasizes in Yalkut Yosef that there is no reason to be stringent and not rely on Ha'agalah. It is perfectly legitimate and restores utensils to a complete Kosher for Pesah status. Therefore, there is no reason to go out and buy new utensils for Pesah instead of Koshering the old ones. SUMMARY 1. One should not Kosher meat and milk utensils simultaneously unless at least one of them is "Eno Ben Yomo"-hasn't been used in twenty-four hours. If one did so, it is permitted B'divavad. 2. One should preferably dip his own vessels into the boiling water, and not use a non-Jew. 3. Koshering utensils with Ha'agalah is L'chathila.

If a utensil that had yet to be immersed in a Mikveh became mixed with utensils that had been immersed, and one cannot distinguish between them, such as forks or dishes of the same set, the question arises whether these utensils require an additional immersion. Since one cannot discern between the utensil that had not undergone immersion and those that had, any utensil from the group could potentially be the one that still requires immersion. Would one be required to immerse all the utensils before using them with food? According to some authorities, we may apply in this case the standard Halachic principle known in the Talmud as "Chad Be'trei Batil," which means that the majority in a mixture of indistinguishable items effectively negates the minority. In our case, the majority of the forks in the set are permissible for use, and one would therefore be permitted to use all the forks, even though one of them has not undergone immersion. Others, however, including Rabbi Chayim Palachi (Turkey, 1788-1868), disagreed, claiming that the case of a utensil requiring immersion falls under the category of "Davar She'yeish Lo Matirin," items that could be made permissible. The concept of "Bittul," which allows for a forbidden item to become negated by a majority of permissible items, applies only when the forbidden status is permanent and unshakeable. For example, when dealing with a piece of non-kosher meat that becomes mixed with pieces of kosher meat, there is no mechanism by which the non-kosher meat can become permissible for consumption, and therefore the law of Bittul applies. In our case, however, one has the option of immersing all the utensils and thereby rendering them all permissible for use. In such a case, where there is a readily available means of rectifying the situation, one may not rely on Bittul, and one must therefore immerse all the utensils before using them. Rabbi Chayim Palachi rules that one would even recite a Beracha when immersing the set of utensils. Some authorities disputed this application of "Davar She'yeish Lo Matirin" to this case. They argued that the rule of "Davar She'yeish Lo Matirin" does not apply if some action is required to render the forbidden item permissible. In the case of the immersed utensils that became mixed with non-immersed utensils, the passage of time alone will not remove the utensils' forbidden status; an act of immersion is required. This case thus does not qualify as "Davar She'yeish Lo Matirin," and we may therefore apply the standard rule of "Bittul." As for the final Halacha, Chacham Ovadia Yosef, in his work Halichot Olam (vol. 7, p. 276), distinguishes between different kinds of utensils. When dealing with a set of metal utensils, which require immersion on the level of Torah obligation, one should be stringent and immerse the entire set if one of the utensils has not undergone immersion. However, no Beracha would be recited over this immersion. In cases involving glass utensils, which require immersion only on the level of Rabbinic enactment, one may rely on the rule of Bittul and use all the utensils without immersion. Summary: If a utensil that has yet to undergo immersion mixes with other utensils that had been immersed, and one cannot tell the utensils apart, then in the case of metal utensils one must immerse the entire set without reciting a Beracha. If this occurred with glass utensils, one may use them even without immersing them.

The Torah obligation of Tebilat Kelim – immersing new utensils – applies only to metal utensils, and the Sages extended this obligation to glass utensils. Utensils made from other materials, such as plastic, nylon, rubber and enamel, do not require immersion at all. This is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Halichot Olam (vol. 7). The Halachic authorities debate the status of a Teflon pot with respect to Tebilat Kelim. On the one hand, since the pot is made primarily of metal, and the Teflon is just a thin layer of nylon covering the pot, it seemingly should require immersion like other metal utensils. On the other hand, people who acquire Teflon pots are specifically interested in the Teflon, which prevents the food from sticking to the surface of the utensil, and thus perhaps the Teflon should be regarded as the primary material, such that the pot should not require Tebila. As mentioned, the Aharonim (later authorities) debate this question. In light of the difference of opinion in this regard, Teflon utensils should be immersed in a Mikveh, but without a Beracha. Summary: Utensils made from materials other than metal and glass do not require Tebila. Metal utensils lined with Teflon should be immersed, but without a Beracha.

If a person purchases a utensil, such as a plate, to give as a gift, may he first immerse it in a Mikveh to spare the recipient the trouble of immersing the utensil? Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Jerusalem, 1910-1995) ruled that immersing a utensil before giving it as a gift is ineffective, and does not absolve the recipient from immersing the utensil after he receives it. The obligation of Tevila (immersion) takes effect only when a person assumes ownership over a utensil for the purpose of using it with food. Therefore, before the gift is given, the utensil is not yet owned for the purpose of using with food; it is owned only for the purpose of being given as a gift. Hence, since the obligation does not yet take effect, the immersion is ineffective, and the recipient would be required to immerse the utensil again upon receiving the gift. Rabbi Shlomo Zalman then addresses the question of whether a person in this situation can give the utensil temporarily to a third party who would receive it on behalf of the intended recipient. There is Halachic concept known as "Mezakeh Al Yedei Acheirim," which means that a person can take possession of an item on behalf of somebody else, and that other person then acquires legal ownership over that object. At first glance, therefore, if one gives the utensil to a third party to acquire on behalf of the intended recipient, the utensil is now under the recipient's ownership, and the immersion should thus be valid. However, Rabbi Shlomo Zalman rules that this technique would not be effective in validating the immersion. Even once a third party takes possession of the utensil on behalf of the recipient, it remains to be seen whether or not the recipient intends to use the utensil with food. He may decide to return it to the store, give it as a gift to somebody else, or use it for some purpose not involving food. Therefore, even at this point, the utensil has yet to come under a person's ownership for the specific purpose of use with food. As such, the Tevila obligation has yet to take effect, and immersing the utensil before giving it as a gift would not absolve the recipient from immersing it after receiving the gift. Therefore, if one gives a new utensil as a gift, he should not first immerse it, and he should instead inform the recipient that it requires immersion. See "Tevilat Kelim" by Svi Cohen, perek8, Halacha 6, and letter from Rabbi Zalman Auerbach Z"L at the end of his book. The Halacha, it is not proper to dip Kellim when you are going to give them to somebody as a gift. You should tell them as a matter of fact that it is not dipped, so they should not be confused and they should dip it themselves.

Before one immerses a new utensil, he recites the Beracha, "Baruch Ata…Asher Kideshanu Be'misvotav Ve'sivanu Al Tebilat Keli." If he immerses more than one utensil on one occasion, then he recites "Al Tebilat Kelim," in the plural form, instead of the singular form of "Al Tebilat Keli." Nevertheless, if one mistakenly recited the Beracha in the plural form for a single utensil, or in the singular form for multiple utensils, he has fulfilled his obligation and does not repeat the Beracha. While reciting the Beracha, one should preferably hold the utensil in his right hand. Furthermore, it is proper to stand while reciting the Beracha, just as one should stand whenever he recites a Beracha over a Misva. Some Rabbis found an allusion for this Halacha in the verse (Tehilim 33:11), "Asat Hashem Le'olam Ta'amod" (literally, "the counsel of God shall always endure"). The letters of the words "Asat" and "Le'olam" are "Ayin," "Sadi," "Tav," "Lamed," "Ayin," "Lamed" and "Mem," which represent the words, "Erub," "Sisit," "Tefilin," "Lulab," "Omer," "Lebana" and "Mila." This verse thus alludes to the fact that when one recites the Beracha over these Misvot, "Ta'amod" – he must stand. This applies to Tebilat Kelim (immersing utensils), as well. Nevertheless, if a person sat while reciting the Beracha before immersing a utensil, he has fulfilled his obligation and does not repeat the Beracha. Tebilat Kelim differs from other Misvot in that it is not an outright obligation; one is not required to immerse a new utensil unless he wishes to use it. As such, there is greater room for leniency, and thus one who mistakenly sat while reciting the Beracha does not repeat the Beracha. One must not speak after reciting the Beracha until he finishes immersing all the utensils he intends to immerse. One may speak in matters related to the immersion, such as asking somebody to bring him another utensil or the scraper to remove stickers. If one spoke in matters unrelated to the immersion after he recited the Beracha and before he began immersing the utensils, he must repeat the Beracha. While immersing a utensil, one should hold it with a loose grip, in order to allow the water in the Mikveh to come in contact with the entire surface of the utensil. Alternatively, one may wet his hands before immersing the utensil, in which case he is allowed to hold the utensil with an average grip during the immersion. Since his hands are already wet, the part of the utensil that he holds will come in contact with Mikveh water by touching his hands. One may even wet his hands with water from a sink for this purpose, as this water will obtain the status of Mikveh water once it enters the Mikveh (due to a Halachic concept known as "Hashaka"). Many people use baskets with holes in the bottom and sides when immersing several utensils at once. They lower the basket into the Mikveh, and the water in the Mikveh enters the basket through the holes and touches the utensils. This is certainly permissible, but on condition that one places the utensils alongside one another, as opposed to on top of one another. When utensils rest on top of one another, the weight of the top utensil might prevent the water from touching the upper surface of the lower utensil. One must therefore ensure that the utensils are lined across, next to one another, without any utensil on top of another. Summary: Before immersing a utensil, one recites the Beracha of "Al Tebilat Keli" (or "Al Tebilat Kelim" for multiple utensils), preferably while standing and while holding the utensil in his right hand. He should not speak in matters unrelated to the immersion until he finishes immersing all the utensils. One should hold the utensil with a loose grip, or wet his hands prior to the immersion and then hold the utensil with an average grip. Perforated baskets may be used to immerse several utensils together, provided that no utensil is placed on top of another.

A situation once arose where a person hosted a large number of guests on Shabbat and he needed more dishes. He had some brand new dishes stocked away, and he wanted to use them, but he realized that they had never been immersed. Halacha forbids using new utensils purchased from a gentile before immersing them, and thus he needed to immerse these dishes. (There is a common misconception that new utensils may be used once without immersion, but this is not correct.) Is it permissible to perform the immersion on Shabbat? Assuming there is no issue concerning carrying the utensils in a public domain – for example, one has a Mikveh in his home, or there is a valid Erub – may one immerse a new utensil in a Mikveh on Shabbat? The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 323:7; listen to audio recording for precise citation) writes that it is permissible to immerse a new utensil on Shabbat, but then adds "Ve'yesh Oserim" – "There are those who forbid it." This second view cited by the Shulhan Aruch is that of the Rif (Rabbi Yishak of Fez, Morocco, 1013-1103), who writes (in Masechet Besa) that immersing a new utensil resembles "Boneh" (building). A utensil before immersion is unfit for use, and by immersing it one renders it usable. Immersion thus constitutes "Tikkun Mana," fixing a utensil, which is forbidden on Shabbat by virtue of the prohibition of "Boneh." Generally speaking, when the Shuhan Aruch issues a ruling and then notes that others disagree ("Stam Va'yesh"), he sides with the first view. As such, in this case, we would think that the Shulhan Aruch allows immersing new utensils on Shabbat. However, immediately after recording these two views, the Shulhan Aruch adds that a God-fearing person should avoid this issue by giving the utensil as a gift to a non-Jew and then "borrowing" it. For example, he can bring it to a housekeeper or neighbor and tell the gentile that he is giving the utensil to him or her as a gift, so it now becomes that person's utensil. After the non-Jew takes hold of the utensil to formally acquire ownership, the Jew can then ask to borrow the utensil, and thereupon use it without first immersing it, since utensils borrowed from a non-Jew do not require immersion before use. Although Halacha generally does not allow giving or receiving gifts on Shabbat, for the purpose of a Misva it is permitted, and thus for the sake of avoiding the need to immerse a utensil one may give the utensil as a gift to a non-Jew. As a rule, we do not encourage employing this strategy to avoid the obligation of Tebilat Kelim, but in a circumstance when one needs a utensil on Shabbat, he should give it to a gentile and then borrow it. After Shabbat, the Jew must then go back to the non-Jew and ask if he would return ownership over the utensil. Once he retakes possession over the utensil, he must then immerse it before using it again. If the gentile to whom he gave the utensil will not be coming back – such as if one gave it to a non-Jew whom he did not know, who was just walking in the street or in a store – then since the non-Jew does not come back to retrieve it, he expresses his disinterest in the utensil and the Jew takes ownership over it by default. In such a case, he should immerse the utensil after Shabbat without reciting a Beracha. This is the ruling of the Taz (Rabbi David Halevi Segal, Poland, 1586-1667), cited by the Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan, 1839-1933). This is also an advisable solution for a traveler who spends Shabbat in an area without a Jewish community, and needs a pot for cooking. Since he does not have access to a Mikveh, and cannot use the pot without immersing it, he should find a gentile to whom he can formally give the pot, and then borrow it and use it. Summary: If a person needs to use a new utensil on Shabbat, he should formally give it to a non-Jew and then ask to borrow it. He may then use it even though it has not been immersed. After Shabbat, he should ask for the utensil back, and then immerse it in a Mikveh.

Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hello, I've tested my hormones but didn't know it should be done by a saliva test. I'm wondering if I can still make something out of the results of the female hormones I tested in this way? Or are these results completely off? They've tested FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, TSH and cortisol.. I understand it is not the same as with a saliva test, but hopefully it still means something? What should I look into , to understand the levels? I know Equlife offers tests, but you don't ship here, unfortunately.. Thank you for your help     Michael: What are your suggestions for kitchen utensils for cooking? Thanks for all you do.     Adriene: My health has been deteriorating since July when my neurosurgeon for nerve damage in my C5 and C6 along with two fractures in my C2 and C3. I now get fatigue quickly, having seizures due to my blood pressure skyrocket and then I have extreme pain and numbness in my right side. My doctors really want me tested for MS. Can someone have ms without lesions     Larissa: Hello, Can you recommend a probiotic for my 2.5 yr old son? Due to unfortunate circumstances, he was born via C-section and formula fed. He has little bumps on the back of his arm that I suspect based on my understanding of Chinese skin mapping is due to small intestinal issues. I heard the gut micro biome solidifies after age 3yrs and aside from organic unprocessed foods, want to help give him the best gut micro ions given the circumstances. Thanks in advance and for all that you do for our growing enlightened community!     Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had a fall while hiking. Nothing serious, landed on my hands & trauma to my right index finger created noticeable swelling (thought it might be dislocated). Dr. suggested an x-raym which confirmed no dislocation, but "ovoid calcification adjacent to the pip joint suggestive of calcific periarthritis". Generally I follow an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, but noticed prior (from more alcohol or holidays - more flex meals) the same finger has had joint pain/swelling. Far less than the fall, but noticeable. I am concerned it's not getting better & wonder about complications with arthritis moving forward. Would surgery be an option to remove it or what can I do? Pain on touch/bend properly + certain things seem to trigger it. Any specific supplements for calcium resorption help?     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3214 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
