#5928 – The Length of the Ethics of the Fathers
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbenu, Orech Yamin. I davened (prayed) many years in a congregation where we learned Pirkei Avot from Pesach until Shavuot. We recently moved to another community and they keep learning a Shabbat shiur on Pirkei Avot until Rosh Hashana. My friends and I truly like the learnimg of Pirkei Avot, and we have a number of questions.
First, is my old tradition an accepted one?
A. Indeed the most common traditional Ashkenazi custom of saying and learning Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) begins on the Shabbat immediately following Passover (Pesach) and continues on every Shabbat by the Mincha davening until at least the holiday of Shavuot.
Because Pirkei Avot is divided into six chapters, this six-week period allows for the completion of one chapter each Shabbat. Indeed it is a most common accepted tradition in our Ashkenazi communities.
See next question.

#5927 – One More First Last Meal?
|
|
|
Q. Kvod Rabenu Shlit’a. One more question, I have seen people who on Issru Chag collect all old sefarim and Torah discarded papers, also from yeshiva and school attendants, and take them to the Geniza on Shavuot Isru Chag; is there a reason for that?
A. Indeed Nitei Gavriel (37: 6) quotes Mayim Chaim 3, and other sources to keep this tradition.

#5926 – A First Last Meal?
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbi Shlit’a. Is it an obligation to eat a Seuda meal on Issru Chag, the day after Yom Tov ended? (Sunday May 24 2026)
A. On a similar question (4477) We wrote:
Q. Is it important to celebrate Issru Chag (the day after Yom Tov) with a special meal?
On question 3675 we were asked the following. “We often have our children and their families staying with us for Pesach and leaving the day after traveling home. Is it worth it to celebrate with them a seuda or special meal before they leave on Isisru Chag? Would that be a Seudas Mitzva?”
To what we answered. “Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 429: 1) writes that it is tradition to add a bit to the eating and drinking on Issru Chag. It is considered as if one built the Mizbeach and sacrificed on it all Korbonos.
There are different reasons for this particular tradition. Chassam Sofer (ibid) explains that it commemorates the joy of the people who came to Yerushalayim and now after complying and enjoying so much the Yom Tov, were ready to return home. Torah Lishma (140) quotes Arizal that the Kedusha and holiness of Yom Tov is still felt on that day.
He also quotes Yerushalmi (Avoda Zarah 1: 1) that Isisru Chag is called ‘Briah Demoado,’ or the child of Yom Tov. (See Nitei Gavriel 22: 4.)
Horav Dovid Pam’s opinion is that since after all Shulchan Aruch mentions only to add a bit to the food one eats, if the visiting children are pressed to return home, as often is, it may be better to avoid it.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should follow the traditions of one’s family.”

#5925 - Torah for All?
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbi can our Women Torah Learning Group that meets almost every day for different Shiurim. also learn the night of Shavuot? They would like to join their husbands and children for the early Shavuot minyan. and then eat together the early Yom Tov meal. Should they also recite the Tikun of Leil Shavuot?
A. Poskim indeed permit women to learn Shavuos night privately. However, they may not recite the Tikun Leil Shavuos. (Piskei Teshuvos 494: 4 quoting Rav Poalim) Similarly they should avoid joining the learners of Torah in shul on that night. See also Q. 3714 .
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.

#5924 – Prepare for Kabbalat Hatorah!
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rov. In our new shul a number of people want to have the attendants who stay the whole night of Shavuot read and learn the Tikun prepared specifically for that night. What is the Tikun of Shavuot really?
A. We once wrote: “The most traditional is to read a book known as Tikkun Leil Shavuot, which is a compendium that contains excerpts of every book of the Tanach (Hebrew Bible), Mishnah, Kabbalah, as well as the 613 mitzvot, allowing the reader to skim through the landscape of Jewish tradition in just a few hours. If attending a congregation where this is common, you may want to come with a copy of your own, since synagogues rarely have enough for all visitors. You can download and print an English version on line.
Many congregations keep it unsophisticated, and the attendants sit alone or in pairs and study a Torah topic of their choice. If this is what you will be doing, it is well recommended to make arrangements in advance with a study partner or group of friends, so that you know what you’ll be learning and with whom.

#5923 - Read Between the Lines? - Q. See question above. We must add this already printed question.
|
|
|
Q. 4273. In our shul we read Megilat Ruth as well as others Megilot from one written on a Klaf (parchment), that resembles a small Sefer Torah. The only one that knows how to read that type of Megila will not be able to attend our Shul on Shabbat when Ruth is read this year.
We have two options. We read Ruth from a Tanach or Chumash as most congregations do. Or we read from the Klaf Megila by our usual Baal Koreh, but in the first day of Shavuot (Friday) when he will be present. Which is the best option?
A. Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a suggested that it may be read as usual on Shabbos, the second day of Shavuos, with someone quietly reading it first and the Baal Koreh repeating. He may similarly have an open Chumash in front of him and looking at each posuk first before reading the Klaf Megila.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that since in Eretz Yisroel the Megila is read on the Friday, the first day, in need it could be read by the proper Baal Koreh on that day.

#5922 – Follow The Print? - Q. Kvod Rabbenu Shlit’a:
|
|
|
Someone donated recently a set of parchment scrolls, hand written Megilot that includes also Megilat Ruth. Usually we read it before Kriat Hatorah on Shavuoth from a chumash with all the reading dots and we don’t have someone who can read it from the scroll. What should we do? We also want to honour the one who donated the expensive set for his important contribution. What is the correct way?
A. It stands to reason that the best way to comply with the above issues, is to have one reading the new parchment megila as we usually do for the Torah reading, while someone next to him reads quietly only for his sake the Chumash printed one that he is familiar with.

#5921 – Women Included? - Q. Dear Rabbi.
|
|
|
On this year (2026) that the second day of Shavuot is Shabbat, when should we daven Kabalat Shabbat?
A. Rav Schachter (Piskei Corona #37) quotes “ the Knesset Hagedola who writes that one shouldn't start the second night of Shavuot early. Pri Megadim disagrees since the reason to start the first night early is temimot to complete the days of the Omer and that doesn't apply to the second night of Shavuot. However, Rav Schachter explained that according to the Netsiv that there's a need to make kiddush of Shavuot on the date of Shavuot itself and accordingly it is important not to start early even on the second day. His conclusion is that we're not strict for the Knesset Hagedola since the whole concept here is a minhag.
Although there are Poskim how to allow making Yom Tov early on the second day of Shavuos, the custom is not to. There are a number of reasons for this. One reason is because essentially the second day of Yom Tov is not biblical, rather m’drabonon, (as nowadays we know that the first day of Yom Tov is the correct day, nevertheless we still keep the second day). Thus being the case if we make an early Yom Tov on the second day, we might prepare from the first day to the second, or mistakenly do melacha.”

#5920 – Stay Awake? - Q. Kvod Rabenu Shlit”a.I have seen some people stay awake on the second night of Shavuot and also eat a milk meal followed by a meat meal. Is that an accepted tradition?
|
|
|
A. It is the common custom not to repeat on the second night what was done on the first.
However, Sefer HaSichot 5704, p. 135 writes: “On the Second day of Shavuot, 5704 my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, relates that the Ba’al Shem Tov cherished the second day of Shavuot. Every year on the second day he would hold a special feast and linger with his chassidim.
The Maggid of Mezeritch, the Ba’al Shem Tov’s successor, explained the reason for the Ba’al Shem Tov’s behaviour. The second day of Shavuot was the first complete 24-hour day after the Jews received the Torah. The Maggid would add: “In particular, this is true according to the opinion of Rabbi Yossi, (Shabbos 86a) who maintains that the Torah was given on the seventh of Sivan. This is a wondrous dimension.”
On the surface, the two rationales given by the Maggid are contradictory. If the day is so dear because it was the first day after the giving of the Torah, then according to Rabbi Yossi, this dearness should characterize the eighth of Sivan? But if the dearness results from the fact that the Torah was given on that day, then according to the Sages who maintain — as the Alter Rebbe rules in his Shulchan Aruch (494:1) — that the Torah was given on the sixth day, it is the first day of Shavuot which should be cherished.

#5919 – Know How to Break your Bread!
|
|
|
Q. If someone has the minhag (tradition) to eat a milk meal on the first night of Shavuot, and then after cleaning ones’ hands and mouth, go to another nearby table and eat some meat and drink wine, to comply with the traditions of this Yom Tov, can one then use the same Chalot (breads), or should one recite Birchat Hamazon and wash again so not to incur in a mixed meal of meat and milk?
A. Poskim disagree if bread has to be eaten on the second meat meal that night. Madanei Yom Tov (Brachot 7:23:7) writes that meat is to be eaten with bread for Simchat Yom Tov. However, some sources hold that meat can be eaten outside of a bread meal. Nevertheless, indeed the same breads should not be used for both meals.
Poskim maintain that according to the Rashba, seemingly there is no obligation to eat the meat in a bread meal since the obligation for the meat and the bread stem from two different places. The obligation of bread is motivated by Oneg Yom Tov. However, the meat is because of simcha (Pesachim 109a). Furthermore, the obligation to have a bread meal at all on Yom Tov is a debate. The Rambam, is the one who holds that it is necessary to have meat meal, holds that there's no obligation to have a bread meal on Yom Tov besides on the first night of Pesach and Sukkot. However, the description of the Rama of how to have dairy and meat in the meal of Shavuot in order to fulfill simchat Yom Tov is within the context of a bread meal.

#5918 – A Happy Yom Tov to Women?
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbi and our family friend. Are women included in the Mitzva of Simcha and Joy on Yom Tov? Do they also have to drink wine and eat meat as men do?
A. The Talmud (Pesachim 109a) teaches us that to fulfill this mitzvah, one must partake of the meat of the Korban Sh’lomim that was brought on Yom Tov. After the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, we are no longer able to fulfill the mitzvah of Simcha in this fashion.Therefore, we must resort to other means in order to bring about a state of also common joy and actual ordinary happiness. The Talmud (ibid) says that men should drink some wine and women should acquire new clothing for the Yom Tov. Shulchan Aruch (529: 2) based on the Rambam adds that children should have nuts and candies purchased for them. If we do so, we have fulfilled the mitzvah of Simchas Yom Tov. This mitzvah is applicable to Chol Hamoed as well. (Ramban, Laws of Yom Tov 6:17: Mishnah Brurah 529:2:16)
Shulchan Aruch writes that every woman is obligated in simcha, even unmarried and it isn't just an obligation upon her husband to gladden her. Chol Hamoed Kehilchato (ch. 1 fnt. 5) quotes the Aderet (Bnei Binyamin), Teshuvat Rabbi Akiva Eiger (1 addition), and Shagas Aryeh that women are obligated to eat meat for simchas Yom Tov. He says that although women are obligated to get a new piece of clothing for Simchas Yom Tov, that is only once over the entire holiday, however, meat applies every day.

#5917 – The Day of Accepting the Torah? Really?-
|
|
|
See question above. Q. Thank you Kvod Horav for the above answers. It was mentioned in the shiur that this is the true day of the receiving of the Torah; is that correct?
A. As we already also wrote, it is on this day that Moshe Rabbeinu told the Jewish people that they are to be a “Nation of Priests” and a “Holy Nation.” (Exodus 19:6 with Rashi) The Jewish people responded with the celebrated cry of “Na’aseh Venishmah” “Everything that God has commanded we will do!” (Exodus 19:8). This indeed makes Yom Hameyuchas a very special day in our history and Torah traditions.

#5916 – Why Is the Above Day So Crucial?
|
|
|
Q. See question above. Why is the Yom Hameyuchas so important and essential?
Yom Hameyuchas finds itself between Rosh Chodesh Sivan and the start of the “shloshes yemei hagbala,“ the three days which Moshe Rabbeinu instructed the Jewish people to place great effort to prepare themselves for receiving the Torah. Our Talmud teaches us that any day that is placed between two festive or distinctive Holy days is also to be considered a festive day, as well.
It is on this day that Moshe Rabbeinu told the Jewish people that they are to be a “Nation of Priests” and a “Holy Nation.” (Exodus 19:6 and Rashi). The Jewish people responded with the historical celebrated cry of “Na’aseh V’nishma” - “Everything that Hashem has commanded we will do!” (Exodus 19:8)
It also explains that the true translation of “Meyuchas” is “lineage” and honourable background. As such, Yom Hameyuchas is an opportunity for us to reflect on the fact that when it comes to Torah, it is not your lineage that makes you special, but rather your dedication to Torah learning and mitzvot. This is an important message in advance of Shavuot. Every person can create his own special lineage and pedigree! Any Jew who keeps the Torah has his own “Yichus!”
Finally, we must mention a most important preparation day, since Yom Hameyuchas is always the same day of the week as the upcoming Yom Kippur.

#5915 – The Great Ancestry Day!
|
|
|
Q. Kvod Harav. It was announced in our minyan this morning that today (Monday May 18, 2026) is the Yom Hameyuchas, and it is an important day for preparing us for the receiving of the Torah celebrated soon on Shavuot.
What exactly is the meaning of Yom Hameyuchas?
A. We recently wrote on our “That Is” article on Parshas Bamidbar that Yom Hameyuchas is the day when we were made aware of our great Yichus and ancestry, most essential for the preparation for Shavuot, when we celebrate and commemorate the receiving of our Holy Torah.
We added that having a great lineage and background is mostly only the reflection of the effort and work of others, our forefathers. To receive the Torah again on Shavuot, we have to put in our own effort and labour. The Midbar or desert where the Torah was given is as empty a place as there is, and yet it is a great spot for mirages and illusions, like the reflection of non-existing water. To survive in the desert, we have to dig and create our own real wells and springs. What can be stronger than our nation’s background of having received and kept our Torah for so many years. And that is reflected in The Yom Hameyuchas.

Our Talmud teaches us that any day that is placed between two festive or distinctive Holy days is also to be considered a festive day, as well.
It is on this day that Moshe Rabbeinu told the Jewish people that they are to be a “Nation of Priests” and “Holy Nation.” (Exodus 19:6 and Rashi) The Jewish people responded with the historical celebrated cry of “Na’aseh V’nishma” - “Everything that Hashem has commanded we will do!” (Exodus 19:8)
It also explains that the true translation of “Meyuchas” is “lineage” and honourable background As such, Yom Hameyuchas is an opportunity for us to reflect on the fact that when it comes to Torah, it is not your lineage that makes you special, but rather your dedication to Torah learning and and mitzvot. This is an important message in advance of Shavuot. Every person can create his own special lineage and pedigree! Any Jew who keeps the Torah has his own “Yichus!”
Finally, we must mention a most important preparation day, since Yom Hameyuchas is always the same day of the week as the upcoming Yom Kippur.

#5915 – The Great Ancestry Day!
|
|
|
- Q. Kvod Harav.
It was announced in our minyan this morning that today (Monday May 18, 2026) is the Yom Hameyuchas, and it is an important day for preparing us for the receiving of the Torah celebrated soon on Shavuot.
What exactly is the meaning of Yom Hameyuchas?
A. We recently wrote on our “That Is” article on Parshas Bamidbar that Yom Hameyuchas is the day when we were made aware of our great Yichus and ancestry, most essential for the preparation for Shavuot, when we celebrate and conmemorate the receiving of our Holy Torah.
We added that having a great lineage and background is mostly only the reflection of the effort and work of others, our forefathers. To receive the Torah again on Shavuot, we have to put in our own effort and labour.
The Midbar or desert where the Torah was given is as empty a place as there is, and yet it is a great spot for mirages and illusions, like the mere reflection of non-existing water. To survive in the desert, we have to dig and create our own real wells and springs. What can be stronger than our nation’s background of having received and kept our Torah for so many years. And that is reflected in The Yom Hameyuchas.

##5914 – Listen to the Real Voice?
|
|
|
Q. If a woman singing and modulating her voice to sound like a man's? Is there a kol ishah prohibition issue in either case? That is, do we go after who's singing, or what it sounds like on the recording?
A. Our Rabbonim sugested that it depends on the way the connection is between the original voice of the woman and the resulting voice actually being heard. See new more detailed Shaila soon.

#5913 – Pray For All The Children!
|
|
|
- Q. Moreinu Shlit’a.
On this year (2026) that Rosh Chodesh Sivan is on Sunday, so when does one recite, as his family tradition is, the most important Tefila of the Shelah Hakadosh for our children.
This Tefila is usually said on Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan, that on this year is on Shabbat, and we usually don’t ask special family Tefilos then?
A. The opinion of most Rabbonim asked, is that it could be said since it is a Tefila for the many and not a particular prayer just for one.
