#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.

##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.

5912 - A True Children's Day!
|
|
|
Q. Dearest Rabbi. Tomorrow is the day dedicated by many to recite the Tefillah (prayer) from the Shelo Hakadosh. Why is this day specially dedicated for it?
A. The Tefillah of the Shelo Hakadosh is a known Segula (accepted dedication) for parents to say on behalf of their children and grand children.
The Shelo Hakadosh wrote that “the most appropriate time to recite this prayer is on Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan, for that is the month when Hashem gave us His Torah, and when we began to be called his children”.
The Shelah Hakadosh, was Horav Yesaiah HaLevi Horowitz. His Kever is in Tiveria and his Yahrtzeit is – 11, Nisan
Horav Yeshaiah HaLevi Horowitz ZT”L, known as the ‘Sh’lah Hakadosh’ (1565-1630), was born in Prague. He was a great scholar of outstanding reputation, and he served as chief Rabbi of Krakow, and more famously, of Frankfort (1610-1620).)
After his first wife passed away, Rabbi Horowitz remarried and moved to Israel in 1621. He became the first Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Jerusalem.
After being kidnapped by the local pasha, and ransomed by the Jewish community for a backbreaking sum of money, Rabbi Horowitz moved to Tiberias in order to prevent a subsequent kidnapping.
He is known as the Shelah, which is the abbreviation of the title of his great Sefer, Shnei Luchot HaBrit, a classic work in Jewish tradition, combining insights into the weekly portion, the holidays and Halacha.
His most visited Kever is in Tiberias, near the tomb of the Rambam.
The traditional prayer of parents on behalf of their children is read on Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan.

#5911 - A Real Chidush on Chidushim!!!
|
|
|
- Q. Dearest Rov Long Life.
As the Rov well knows I much like to learn Torah and I constantly tell the Rov my questions, chidushim and Vertlach. At my stage in life I have difficultly in staying up all night. How important is it really to do so?
A. My Dear friend, I much appreciate not only your many good Shailos, but most important your Divrei Torah and great Vertlach.
On question 4990 we wrote:
“Q. Is it true that on Shavuoth it is determined what are going to be the Chidushei
Torah that one is going to learn and reveal for others during the coming year?
A. Indeed the Sheloh Hakadosh (Shavuos 19), quoting other sources teaches that most important ruling and heavenly decision of this most essential day
However, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should not daven for this particular gift as it really depends on one’s personal effort and en-devour.
The Rov Shlit’a mentioned that for those who do recite the Tikun on the night of Shavuos, it would seem that they have a different approach and attitude, and then this praying is correct.

#5910 Now More to Really Get Real?
|
|
|
- Q. I must add to the above question the following former important question:
4271 Q. We have always used fresh branches and flowers to decorate the shul and home during Shavuot. These days plastic flowers and branches are more attractive, stay looking fresh, they don’t need water containers and are more economic since the stay pleasing for many years. Can we change? Do we have to be be Mattir Nedder (absolve promises) if we do?
A. Although some of our Rabbis maintained that one can change for the better, Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a opines that there are specific reasons why we use the natural perishable life plants, as mentioned in Mishna Berura (494: 10) Midrashim, and other Poskim.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that since as is they are only a symbolic remembrance and not a mitzva in itself, as a Lulav or similar would be, they are permitted, and no Hatoras Nedorim is required.

# 5909 Virtual Reality
|
|
|
- Q. See question above. On a related question we wrote:
Q. 4272, We have in our family room and dining room a very large screen that serves as a virtual picture frame. It changes according to the times we program it, into different scenes, images of our dear family members, and pictures of nature that we greatly enjoy. We also display family photos, portraits etc.
Can we during Shavuot use it to display the greens, plants and flowers that we are used to decorate the house with?
A. On a very similar question (1791) regarding the use of such a screen during Shabbos we wrote: “The Rov also permits leaving on during Shabbos the picture displayed on the screen, if it does not change and stays the same during the complete Shabbos. He also maintains that the controls should be covered and inaccessible.”
However, in our case it may be better to use at least real plants even artificial for the remembrance of the greenery of Har Sinai and Kabbolas Hatorah.
See next question:

#5908 – Real New Yom Tov Decorations!
|
|
|
Q. Kevodo Shlit’a. We thank you again for putting so much effort to answer all the most new and novel Halacha questions. I have a Shavuot Shaila one, I’m pretty sure that the Rov has not heard yet.
It is a question of an elderly neighbor who does not have much help as is. He wants to decorate his home in a way that no one else has or yet will, as his grand and great grandchildren who come to visit him for Yom Tov should and will be most impressed and joyful.
He is planing to decorate his home with plants that are not real, yet they are projected by an AI program that projects, presents and displays all over his home the most incredible beautiful plants and trees in the world we know. He has worked out the timers needed and the necessary electrical protection and security to be sure, not to have to do anything during Yom Tov.
Besides he has a Gentile neighbor who will help in case of need. He told me that nobody in history has yet experienced the kind of most beautiful Shavuos decoration. Is that permitted?
A. There are a number of issues that should be comprehended.
First of all, can one use artificial plants to keep that tradition?
On question 89 – “Using artificial trees to decorate a Shul for Shavuoth.” we wrote:
“Q. It is a minhag to decorate for Shavuoth our Shuln with greenery. We avoid using trees, as that would be a tradition of other religions. Does that include artificial trees?
A. There are two reasons for not placing trees in a Shul. One deals with the Biblical injunction against planting trees next to the altar in the Bais Hamikdosh.(see R. A. Eiger notes on O.C.150). The other is indeed the Hagro’s opinion,(mentioned in Chayei Adam 131,13 and Mishna Berurah 494,10), that it is included in the ban of following Chukos Hagoim, or a tradition of other religions. Not all Poiskim agree (Maharsham see Ariel p. 38, that this Minhag does not apply to trees that are always found there), however Igrois Moishe (Y.D. 4,11), quotes Aruch Hashulchan ( O.C. ibid. 6), that this minhag has become today the accepted tradition. Beer Eliahu (O.C.3 p.263) mentions that this may not apply to artificial trees.
Horav shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that it does apply to artificial trees since other creeds also use them in their holidays. However, if erroneously set in a Shul, it is still permissible to daven there.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld, as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a

A. We mentioned in a number of prior questions that music played on the street or stores one attends is not prohibited during Sefira. It is similar to other background music that is not used for joy and happiness.

|
|

#5904 – Not a Real Wedding Yet!
|
|
|
Q. Hon. Rabbi Shlit’a.
Due to great investments and business concerns, an affluent engaged couple that did not yet celebrate their Chupa and traditional banquet wedding, needs and plans to register their official legal marriage.
They plan to do it at the time of Sefira in which they keep their parents prohibition of getting married. Is that then permitted?
A. Since they are not celebrating yet their true Chatuna and religious wedding and joining life as a traditional couple does living together, the legal wedding arrangements although they are happily accepting and contracting to, are not considered to be a real Chatuna and are therefore permitted during Sefira.

Ask Behar Bechukosai 86 #5903 - - Q. Dear Rabbi Shlit’a. On this year (2026) that Lag Baomer was on Tuesday; is it better to wait and shave on Friday right before Shabbat and so honour our Holiest of Days?
