#5776 – Tell It the Best!
|
|
|
- Q. See question above.
I also have the family tradition to say Parshas Haman repeated twice and followed by the Aramaic Targum translation. Should that also be repeated on the night after?
A. Indeed some Poskim hold that the tradition of saying Parshas Hamon includes repeating it twice followed by the Targum or Aramaic translation. (Nitei Gavriel , H. Purim !; 3). If you will say it at night as advised on the question above, it should be said on the usual manner.

#5775 – A Better Late Than Never Parsha?
|
|
|
- Q. Kvod Rabeinu Shlit’a. If someone usually says Parshas Haman and the accompanying tefilos on Tuesday, yet he was traveling and could not say them until the night, is it OK to say it then?
A. Although the minhag is to say them on Tuesday, yet there is likely still to be great meaning at that following night also, as often minhagim and traditions such as blessings and gift giving of the day transfer to the night after, when not kept on time.
See next question.

#5774 - Man Parsha - Always “Heaven On Earth”
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbi Long Life. I just got an email from our shul that we should say on this Tuesday, the Parsha of The Man, as a great Segula for having good Parnassah. I just so happens that I say that chapter every day, do I have to say more?
A. On question 5287 we wrote:
Q. We were asked a number of Shailos this year, significantly more than in others regarding the reciting this week of Parshas Haman on Tuesday.
I sent to them the following Teshuva, we once wrote:
A. “1606 – Q. What is the source for saying Parshas Haman on the third day of the week of Beshalach? Is this an accepted segula for parnassa that one should follow?
A. The Tur and Beis Yosef (O.H. 301), as well as the Mishna Berura (1: 13) mention that it is a segula (remedy and protection) for parnassa, support and livelihood, to recite the Parshas Hamon every day.
Perisha and Mishna Berura quote the Yerushalmi Brochos that maintains that one who reads Parshas Hamon every day, is assured that his sustenance will not be diminished. The reason is to inculcate the belief that parnassa is Heavenly given, and just like by the omer of mon, working harder and collecting more, did not contribute to a greater degree of sustain or wealth. They also mention that it could be recited on Shabbos.
Yalkut Menachem quotes that Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Rimanov zt”l asserted that it is a Segulah for Parnassah to recite Parshas Hamon on the Tuesday of Parshas Beshalach. (See Nitei Gavriel ”“ Purim 1: 3). This minhag has become recently, due to social media communication, more popular.
Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a opinion is that one should follow the Tur and Poskim mentioned and his family minhogim. When recited on Shabbos, one should not add the accompanying tefilos for parnosso said during the week.
Rabbi Abraham Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a.

#5773 - A Storm of a Shailah?
|
|
|
- Q. Dear Rov. I truly wonder if one is allowed to make people come to shul to fulfill the ten needed for a minyan, when there is a powerful snow storm and it may put some people in danger. Is that correct?
A. There are many variables and different conditions that may give contrary answers to that question.
However, one item is clear. If there is any way or condition that can place a person in any danger, be it his age or status of the road and sidewalk etc. one should remain safe at home.

#5772 - Need New Pesach Teeth?
|
|
|
- Q. Moreini Horav O”Y. (Orech Yomim).
We have, in our shul, a tzedaka group that collects every year to help the families unable to meet the needs for Pesach. We have an elderly retired man who needs a complete new set of dentures that are not covered by his medical insurance and he would have problems eating regular matza. Can we use those funds for his needed dentures or should we advise him to eat Matza Sheruya (soft wet matza) that he always avoids?
A. Chashukei Chemed (Pesachim 90a) deals with a similar shaila and sides to be lenient in need and provide for the new set of dentures if the funds suffice.

#5771 - Blessing Shecheyanu on esrog jam
|
|
|
- Q. Can you make Shecheyanu on jam made from Ethrogim on the second night (of Rosh Hashonoh)?
A. The Tur and Bais Yosef (O.H. 583) quote from Talmud Kerissos (6a) that one should eat on Rosh Hashonoh esrogim as a good siman. (In our text-version of the Talmud the word esrog is omitted). Ben Ish Chay (Parshas Reeh) mentions that it was a Yerushalmi tradition to eat esrogim on the second night and recite shechecheyonu on them. He adds, that in his city, the esrogim were indeed sweet, but hard to find before Sukkos.
The ones they did eat were the ones left over from last Sukkos and were consumed on Tu Bishvat, but no shehecheyanu was said, since that brocha was already recited during Yom Tov on them. A similar opinion is to be found in Leket Yosher (p. 149) and in Hoelef Lecho Shlomo. (O.H. 92)
A number of other reasons are mentioned by Poiskim not to recite shechecheyonu on a esrog. Mishna Berura (225:16) quoting Shaar Ephraim and Mor Uketzio, explains that since the esrog fruit remains in its tree from year to year there is no recognizable pleasure in its renewal. Sdei Chemed (Brochos 2:2 in the name of Yofe Lalev) reasons that since the esrog is also compared to a vegetable (Bikurim 2) no shehecheyonu is said.
If the esrog was also preserved as a jam there are numerous Poiskim who opine that the blessing is omitted, since it can endure for many years in that state and its beginning will remain unidentifiable.
However, some Poiskim maintain that if the esrog is fresh and it was not used on Sukos, she#checheyonu can be recited as was the Yerushalmi minhag quoted above. (Tehilo Ledovid p.153 – Eitz Chaim, Hilchos Suko p.352).
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that you can use a new fresh esrog (not preserved) on the second night of Rosh Hashanah, for reciting shehecheyanu by the kiddush.

#5770 – A Froge on the Esrog?
|
|
|
- Q. Dear Rabbi. I was able to save by refrigeration the Esrog from last Sukot to eat on Tu Bishvat. Does one make a Shecheyanu on that Esrog? What if I also kept some of it as a jam?
A. On question 455 we wrote;
"Mishna Berura (225: 16) writes that you do not recite Sheheheyonu on eating an esrog as it does not change from year to year even during the winter months, since it survives in its tree from year to year. A similar ruling is found in Be’er Heitev (ibid. 11) in the name of Shaar Efraim.
Poiskim mention another reason not to recite this brocha since it was already said at the time the mitzvah of lulav and esrog was observed during Sukos. Following the Halacha that when the brocha of Shehecheyonu was recited at the time the fruit was first seen, it does not have to be repeated later when it is eaten the first time. (Hoelef Lecho Shlomo O.H. 92)
A third reason not to recite Shehecheyonu cited in Eishel Avrohom (225) is that once the esrog has been sweetened and preserved, you can hardly recognize that it is a new fruit and the taste would not change from year to year.
However, Divrey Sofrim (23) and Eitz Chaim (Sukka p. 352) mention that it was the tradition of the sages of Yerushalayim to recite Shehecheyanu.
Ben Ish Chay (p. Reeh, first year) mentions that it was a Yerushalmi custom to eat on Rosh Hashana an esrog and recite Shehecheyanu, but not on Tu Bishvat
.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that you don’t recite Shehecheyonu on a esrog.

#5769 - A Tree Here There, Everywhere???
|
|
|
-- Q. Shalom Rov Shlit’a. I know that there is a Minhag Mitzva to plant a tree on Tu Bisvat. Is that also outside of Israel?
A. Trees are most important in our tradition, The Tree of Life, which Hashem placed at the heart of the Garden of Eden, became a symbol of Jewish existence, a core value of individual and communal living together and the continuity of individuals and their communities.
Our Torah itself is also called a Tree of Life (Proverbs 3:18). Our Torah also prohibits the destruction of fruit trees, even in times of war (Devarim 20: 19-20). Other prohibitions exist to prevent the loss of Israel’s natural forests, such as allowing goats to graze freely.
See further soon coming questions related to this mitzva.

#5768 - Q. A Very Early Celebration?
|
|
|
– Q. Dear Rabbi. How come we celebrate in Canada and in most of the U.S. and Europe, Tu Bishvat, the New Year for trees and their fruits, when we are surrounded by frost and often covered by snow. Is it not ridiculous?
A. on question 4633 we wrote: Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a explained that we celebrate the potential of the trees to start their yearly early development for growing and giving fruits later on already at that early time of the year. Since the underground root changes already begin at that period.
He indicated that in our communities, it is the trust in Hashem’s ways that we mainly and mostly celebrate.

#5767 - Kadish Leolam Olmaya – Really Forever?
|
|
|
- Q. See question above:
On the one hand, I understand that I had taken on this obligation to say Kaddish for this person and therefore it is an ongoing annual occurrence and obligation, however now that the person who actually had the chiuv is no longer chiuv, do I become exempt from this second hand obligation?
In addition to saying Kaddish for yartzheit, what about yizkor?
I can actually see the question from both sides.
Thank you very much!
A. In principle we must also consider the fact that he was complying with the great mitzva of on the day of the Yohrzait of a fellow Jewish individual.
This reciting Kaddish mitzva can be complied with even when there is no actual family relationship at all, as it is done in many cases for the survivors of wars or the Kedoshim of the Shoah (Holocaust), Great Tzadikim, and the heroes of wars.

#5766 – Kadish Leolam – Forever?
|
|
|
- Q. Dear Ask-the-Rabbi,- Rabbi.
For several years now, I've been saying Kaddish on my wife's behalf because she had the chiyuv to say Kaddish for her mother. Now that my wife has passed and no longer has that chiuv, do I continue to say Kaddish for her mother?
See next question.
A. It stands to reason that once one has begun and kept a mitzva tradition one should continue keeping it if possible.
Depending on the case, there may even be a requirement of Hatarat Nedarim (Absolment of Promises) recitation, if one stops.

#5765 - The True Tu Bishvat.
|
|
|
Q. Kvod Horav. When is the correct time to make our seuda of Tu Bishvat, on the night before or on the day?
A. On question 5295 we wrote the following – Q. The people of our shul have a tradition to make a seuda for Tu Bishvat in which the customary fruits are served. Can they make the Seuda on the night (Sunday this year 2026) or does it have to be during the (Monday) day? (They usually do it between Mincha and Maariv).
A. Since Tu bishvat or the 15th of Shevat is a Jewish holiday occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. Sunday night is already time to celebrate. (this year 2026).
It is also called Rosh HaShanah LeiIlanot (ראש השנה לאילנות), literally “New Year of the Trees.” In principle one should wait until proper night time to comply with the traditions involved. Yet Maariv could be said after the meal ended.

#5764 – A Blessed Rosh Chodesh!
|
|
|
- Q. Dearest Rov and Halacha leader Shlit’a. In a few days will Iy”H Rosh Chodesh Shvat and I heard that this Rosh Chodesh carries special Bracha and great blessings.
My child requires an important medical operation, is it better to do it on that day?
A. Consult with the doctors if it can wait. Yet, indeed many Sefarim write that the title Shevat stands for the Hebrew expression Shenishma Besurot Tovot, that we should be blessed to share good tidings. And indeed it is considered a blessed Rosh Chodesh. We wish you all blessings and wishes for a prompt Refuah Shleima.
How appropriate is the month that celebrates the blessings of abundance, new life, and importance of the Torah.

#5763 T’u Bishvat - The Labor on One’s Fruits
|
|
|
Ask Bo 86. Q. Rov Shlit’a. You explained last year very nicely in the Shul Shiur the way how to comply with the tradition of eating fruits on Tu Bishvat, I won’t be is Shul this year could you pleasi kindly email it to me. Thank you greatly.
A. On question 4632 we wrote:
“Q. Why and when is it best to eat the fruits on T’u Bishvat, the night before or during the day? Before the seuda, during, or after the seuda? Should one encourage making a seuda for chinuch of children?”
We answered: “The tradition to eat fruits on Tu Bishvat is not very ancient. It is first mentioned on Tikun Isoschor, and it goes back only to the times of the Bais Yosef. Mogen Arohom (131: 16) does mention it.
It is strongly upheld by the Sephardi communities, and followers of the traditions of the Arizal. who observe it as a very saintly and special day and consider the minhogim as a great and important avoda or holy labor.
Followers of the Arizal also eat a minimum of 12 to 15 fruits (Maharam Hagiz). Some maintain that 30 different fruits should be consumed. (Even Yisroel p. 28). Others opine that one should try all fruits available at that location. (Mekor Chaim 684).
Bnei Yissochor writes that our sources refer to Tu B’Shevat as the “New Year of the Tree”, (Mishna Rosh Hashana 2a) in the singular.
This implies that while Tu Bishvat is the New Year of all trees, we are to concentrate on one tree in particular, the one that provides the esrog for Sukos. There is a tradition, to pray on this day to have the privilege of acquiring a beautiful esrog. There is also a minhag to preserve the esrog in jam or to create a liquor from it, and to eat it or drink it on Tu Bishvat.
Chasidim and Kabbalists also prepare a seuda, a “tish” or a sort of “Seder Night” on Tu Bishvat, over four cups of wine, light candles and have a seder plate with different types of fruits. (See question 453 in regards to fruits from Eretz Yisroel, see also Nitei Gavriel 4: 2; n. 4).
On question 1256 in regards to when to to eat the fruits, we wrote; Poskim mention to eat them at the end of the seuda (Ohr Zarua 2: 21, Darchei Moshe O.H. 149: 4, Magen Avrohom, Biur Halacha ibid. Nitei Gavriel ”“ Purim 9: 2) so they are included in Birchas Hamazon (Tosafos Brochos 41b) and when it is Shabbos to avoid spoiling the appetite for the Shabbos meal.
When in Shabbos, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if one has young children and is concerned that they will not be awake at the end of the seuda, he may eat them after hamotzi.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should maintain the minhogim and traditions of his family or the community he belongs.

#5762 – More Intimate Purity Cure Needed
|
|
|
- Q. See question above. Another explanation to the above question is because Shovavim falls after the winter solstice, which is when the days start to get longer.
This relates to a story recounted in Avodah Zara 8a: after Adam sinned, he observed that the days were getting shorter and feared that his disobedience to God had brought about the end of the world.
Once the winter solstice passed, he saw the days getting longer again and was relieved. Such is the natural order of the world, but it is also symbolic of his repentance being accepted.) Accordingly, the period of increasing daylight is seen as an auspicious time.

#5761 – Intimate Purity Cure
|
|
|
- Q. Honorable Rabbi. Thank again so much for your fast answer.
I have another question. I have noticed that the knowledgeable people in our shul refer to the above chapters as a cure for thoughts of sexual impurity and to laxity in the laws of family purity. Why and what is the connection to these chapters?
A. “Shovavim” is a word found twice in sefer Yirmiyahu (the book of Jeremiah) chapter 3 – in verses 14 and 22, as part of the phrase shuvu banim shovavim. This is typically translated as “return, backsliding children,” though the meaning is really more along the lines of “wayward” or “troublemaking.”
In any event, the implication is clear: the Navi (prophet) is telling us that we’re not acting as we should and that we should repent. Accordingly, the Shovavim period is one of intensified teshuvah (repentance) and tikkun (rectification) for personal shortcomings, particularly those of a sexual nature.
The above can range from such matters as unclean thoughts to laxity in the laws of family purity.

#5760 On The Right Time?
|
|
|
- - Q. Honorable Rabbi. Thank you so much for your fast answer. I still have some more questions. First one; What is the reason Shovavim is kept at this time of the year?
A. The reason is that the parshiot of Shemos. Va’eira. Bo. Beshalach. Yisro. Mishpatim, are the first six sedras in sefer Shemos (the book of Exodus), which are read in the winter months, between Chanukah and Purim.
In Hebrew, their initial letters spell the word “shovavim,” which is the name by which this period is known.
Another explanation is because Shovavim falls after the winter solstice, which is when the days start to get longer.
This relates to a story recounted in Avodah Zara 8a: after Adam sinned, he observed that the days were getting shorter and feared that his disobedience to God had brought about the end of the world. Once the winter solstice passed, he saw the days getting longer again and was relieved. (Such is the natural order of the world, but it is also symbolic of his repentance being accepted.)
As we mentioned on question above the period of increasing daylight is seen as an auspicious time.

#5759 -The Shovaim Meaning
|
|

- Q. Honorable Rabbi. In our new shul we have a number of different groups that have joined together and have different traditions and customs. Many disagree as to what to do during the Shovavim period. Firstly what is really Shovavim?
A. On a similar question (5289) we wrote:
– Q. Dear Rov Shlit’a: I overheard in our shul that we are now at the very special time of the year known as Shovavim. What exactly is the time period of Shovavim? And what does it mean? Why is it so special?A.
Shovavim is the word that represents the first letters of the Parshios of Shemos, Va’eira, Bo. Beshalach, Yisro, Mishpaoim. These are the first six sedras (weekly reading chapters) of the Shemos Sefer (or the book of Exodus), which are read in the end of the winter months.
“Shovavim” is a word also found twice in sefer Yermiyahu (the book of Jeremiah) chapter 3 – in verses 14 and 22, as part of the pasuk “shuvu banim shovavim,”. Or “return, lapsing or troublemaking sons,” Accordingly, the Shovavim period is one of intensified teshuvah (repentance) and tikkun (purification) for personal defects and sins especially those of a sexual nature. Sefarim write that this can range from such matters as unclean thoughts to laxity in the laws of family purity.
Why is Shovavim particular to this time and period? Some maintain that is related to the theme of the Torah portions read over the course of these weeks. We read about how the Jews were exiled in Egypt, where they became entrenched in extreme immorality and sank to the lowest depths of impurity.
Nevertheless, they were able to be redeemed and ended up traveling to Sinai, where they succeeded in receiving the Holy Torah. Also as this particular time precedes the great happiness of Purim and Pesach, it carries an essential and inspiring message of bouncing back from deep impurity to the greatest spiritual heights of the YamimTovim that prepare us to Kabalath Hatorah.
Another explanation is because Shovavim falls after the winter solstice, which is when the days start to get longer. This relates to a story recounted in Avodah Zara 8a: after Adam sinned, he observed that the days were getting shorter and feared that his disobedience to God had brought about the end of the world.
Once the winter solstice passed, he saw the days getting longer again and was relieved. (Such is the natural order of the world, but it is also symbolic of his repentance being accepted.) Accordingly, the period of increasing daylight is seen as an auspicious time.

#5758 – Learning about the New Torah Learning?
|
|
|
- Q. See question above. Could Torah learned by such artificial new methods be used on Shabbat? What if it cannot be disconected or removed?
A. As mentioned on the above questions, this truly new and revolutionary Torah knowledge and the learning process is just beginning to be calculated, ruled and explained by our Great known Poskim.
IY”H further totally new ideas, fresh Halacha implications b”n will be presented Be”H.

#5757 – Torah Learning for the New Torah Learning
|
|
|
- Q. see questions above.
I read a Teshuva from the Rov, that the above artificial memory that is similar to AI, cannot be used for deciding Halacha questions and rulings. Can it be used just for learning and teaching Torah? Why would it be different from books or the computers so commonly used today?
A. As mentioned on the above question, the matter is still in development by our Poskim and although it is incredibly important, it will take time to gain the correct approach.
