#5182 An Everyday Yohrzait
- Q. Rabbenu Shlit’a. Why do people celebrate the Yohrzait of Rachel Imenu more than any other of the Avot (Patriarchs)? When exactly is the day of the Yohrzait?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that Rachel Imenu cried for her children and was always there for them. That is why her Kever and place of burial is always visited by many thousands and is one of the most known and used holy points for our prayers to Hashem.

Rachel was one of the first and most important prophetesses (Yerushalmi Berachos 9:3). the Talmud teaches that in reward for her care and modesty in giving Leah her signal and not revealing to anyone that she had done so (Rashi ibid.), she merited that King Shaul descended from her (Megillah 13b).

#5181 Popping Only With Corn?
- Q. Hello Rav, My teenage daughter was asking me if it would be permissible to eat movie theater popcorn.
She has no intention of watching a movie there, and is comfortable with Chalav Stam.She just wants to try the popcorn! We shelter our kids from so many things, so I don't want to just say NO so quickly.

I have heard that you can ask the workers to see the packaging and all the ingredients are able to be identified as kosher chalav stam (oil, salt, popcorn). Additionally, the popcorn machine is only used for popcorn. Since popcorn is not a bishul akum issue, and its safe to say that no non kosher ingredients were used in the last 24 hours, is it safe to say the popcorn would be permissible even if there is a chance that non kosher ingredients may have been used in the past?

Meaning....I don't know what they used in the machine 10 years ago, but since those potentially non kosher ingredients are Eino Ben Yomo and thus would give off a "pagum" taste, it should not pose a kashrut issue. Am I correct? Additionally, is there a Maaris Eyin issue of walking in there to purchase the popcorn or is it similar to walking into a Tim Hortons to buy a coffee? If it was a Maryis Eyin issue...is there any way around that? (ie. go in not looking like fum yid, etc?) Thanks so much.

A. Our Rabbonim maintain that since there are so many different complicated Shailos and doubts in this case, that can easily go wrong, the best you can and should do is just buy her a real nice big bag of kosher certified corn that usually has the same taste as the one she desires or even better.

You could give her another tasty food she likes even more.
It is important you should explain to her the Halacha points and rules and prohibitions involved and why it is so special and important to keep the rules of what Hashem told us makes food great and kosher to eat, and the extraordinary taste one feels when Hashem also enjoys with us the great food he gave us to truly enjoy.

#5180 A Peace Sacrificial Offering?
- Q. Dear Rov: On question 5175 above, you apparently permitted frum people when in need to attend the Kristallnacht anniversary. Is that not a most unusual and uncommon minhag for Bnei Torah?

A. Although commonly Bnei Torah and Yeshiva Bachurim don’t attend such ceremonies, when in need for Sholom Bais and respect to parents, it is permitted.

On a similar question (2165) we wrote:

"Q. I’m a yeshiva bochur and my parents asked me and my siblings to attend with them and my Holocaust surviving grandmother to a Yom Hashoah act, that takes place in Chodesh Nisan. I know it is very important to them. Should I go?"

To what we answered: "A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if your attendance is indeed of great importance to your parents and they will be pained if you don’t attend, it is permitted, even during the joyful month of Nisan, when Halacha dictates that avelus, acts of grief and mourning should be avoided.

#5179 A Tinfoil Hat?
- Q. Hello Rav, My family occasionally stays at the home of a frum ashkenaz relative for up to a week. In their home, they have one microwave that they will use for meat and dairy and apparently were told by their Rav that they can use it for any food as long as they cover the food with a paper towel (ie. nothing is really "sealed"). Additionally the bottom plate is not changed, but It did look clean.

In our home we have 2 separate microwaves for meat and daily and I've always understood that 2 separate microwaves are ideal, and that using one microwave would require either kashering in between (for those who agree to that) or fully sealing at least one of the food types (meat or dairy).

I've also see Rav Heinemen's shilta opinion that if you are just warming the food up briefly so that the walls of the microwave won't get to Yad Soledet Bo, then you could be lenient to put any food in uncovered if the mircrowave is fully cleaned. When we are visiting this family, we try to not bring up our halachic differences too much as it makes everyone very uncomfortable.

However, there are times when we would like to use a microwave. Is there any room for this leniency they are holding by? Should I rely on it as use the microwave the same way they do or should I just avoid the microwave or wrap the food well? Would the psak apply to my children? Any differences for us sephardim? Thanks!

A. Our Rabbonim maintain that in similar oven shailos it is proper to just wrap the food in foil paper as is often done anyway, and it will not cause any insult or inconvenience.

When using a microwave the same effect could be attained by wrapping with a similar high themp wrap. The Saran Brands website states their brand name wrap can be microwaved.
Horav Shlomo Miller”s Slit”a opinion is similar.

#5178 Early and Bright?
- Q. (See above question). How important is it then to make the great effort and wake up so early to daven then?

A. Poskim write that as valuable and important praying with the Netz is, if it would interfere with the crucial intention of prayer or the learning and teaching of Torah and other important mitzvos and endeavors one has to do in the day, one should not sacrifice for it.

Piskei Teshuvos (58: 6) he also mentions that many Gedolim and great men, likely for that reason, did not keep the attending to a Vesikin minyan.
Horav Shlomo Miller”s Slit”a opimiom is similar.

#5177 Everything is Under the Sun
- Q. A choshuve (important) Marbitz Torah in Toronto told me that the main reason for davening K'Vasikin in the morning is in order to praise HaShem for the benefits of the sun. Does the Rav know on what that is based?

A. Although, I did some research, I didn’t specifically find anything that connotes that to be the main reason for praying at that time. Yet it may be included in all the blessings and thanks we give Hashem always for giving us life in a new day, including all the many, many benefits and great blessings and goodness He grants.

#5176 At Hashem’s Earliest Convenience
- Q. Dear Rabbi, What are the benefits of davening early Vasikin, (when the sun rises) and how much effort should one do for it?

A. “Tefilas Vasikin” in the Ashkenzi tradition, refers to the very early morning prayer of Shacharis. This early morning minyan is also called “netz”, an abbreviation of “Hanetz HaChama” which means the sunrise.

Talmud (Berachos 26a) answers a contradiction to the Mishna there saying that this baraisa does not establish a binding halacha. Rather, it taught that rule specifically with regard to those who are scrupulous in fulfillment of mitzvot [vasikin]. As Rabbi Yoḥanan said: Vasikin would finish reciting the morning Shema with sunrise, but those who are not vasikin may recite their prayers later.

Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 58: 1) mentions that the one that can venture to end the reading of the Shema and its blessings right at that time, and can exactly then begin the Amida, his reward is very great. Mishna Berura (ibid. 8) quoting Beis Yosef in Rabeinu Yona’s name, that he is promised to be a designated receiver for the “Olam Haba’a” (The Future World to Come).

#5175 – Kristallnacht Clear?
Q. Dear Rov. Some members of my family keep in their shul the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the "Night of Broken Glass" on Nov 10. They have invited me to attend with them. Is there an issue in Halacha on going?


A. Kristallnacht is the anniversary of the "Night of Broken Glass" that took place on November 9–10, 1938.
As P.M. Netanyahu recently mentioned: “It was a Nazi pogrom that marked a turning point in the escalating persecution of Jews that eventually led to the murder of 6 million European Jews by the Nazis and their supporters during the Holocaust.”

Poskim don’t mention much of this anniversary in Halacha. Yet the reality is that in many Yeshivot and Kolelelim it isn’t kept and no restrictions are placed on performing Semachos as weddings etc. in these days. It also does not usually have those restrictions in non- religious institutions.

#5172 Wash and Dry and…
Q. Can one use a tissue paper towel or a napkin used for drying ones hands after washing for a Shabbat meal, to further clean and dry hands, mouth or nose, during the meal, when it still is wet and it may involve prohibited Sechita or squeezing?

A. Poskim usually rule leniently on the use of disposable napkins and tissues, since they are not reusable and one does not benefit and care for the prohibited s’chita or squeezing. (Igrois Moishe O.H. 2: 70, and others).

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is similar.

#5171 Good Times Begin with a Blessing!
- Q. Dear Rov this is a Shaila I‘m sure you will love and we need a real prompt answer. Today in the very early hours of the morning we became aware that Donald Trump won B’H the election. Two questions. 1) Do we say Tachanun this morning or do we treat the day as a Yom Tov and avoid it?

2) Should we make a Seudas Hoda’a or a festive meal to thank Hashem for His great kindness?

A. Although for many of us it is a real happy occasion, still you do recite Tachanun as you would in similar situations such as when a person has a miracle salvation, has or marries a child.

As far as making a Seudas Hoda’a, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that one should always be grateful and thank Hashem for all the acts of kindness and mercy He imparts to His people. On similar situations a kidush on Shabbos is customary for many.

#5170 Justifying Justice
- Q. If someone a few times a year walk to a shul on Shabbos that is close to a Jewish cemetery and as he comes close he can see clearly the burial places and the Matzeivos (stones) on them, does he recite the customary brocho of “Yotzar Eschem Badin” (He created you with justice) usually said during the week?

It seems improper to recite it on Shabbos, since we do not say in Shabbos Tziduk Hadin.

A. Mahari Assad (Y.D. 371: 1) quoted by Piskei Teshuva (O.H. 224) maintains that we do
say it since it does not actually express “Tziduk” Hadin, or giving justice to the judgment.

#5169 Red Strings Attached?
- Q. Dear Rov Shlita. Am I allowed to wear during Shabbat where one isn’t allowed to carry, a small piece of the afikoman left from the seder I ate while visiting my grandparents last Pesach? They said it is a segula for not forgeting them and that they should also pray for me and all their grandchildren. Why is it not similar to the red string that many wear and carry?

A. Indeed on a similar question (1412) we wrote:
“Q. May one wear a red string around his wrist while walking in the public domain on Shabbos, if one is accustomed to wear such a string during the week to ward off ayin hara (evil eye)?

A. On question 1113 on this forum we wrote; “Poskim disagree as to the propriety of this popular segula. Orchoseicha Lamdeni (140) prohibits wearing it on the hand.

Hakoton Vehilchoisov (81) quotes a reponsa from Hagrach Kanievsky Shlit”a, ruling that one should abstain from placing such string on a minor to protect him from ayn horah (evil eye), since it may be similar to what the Tosefta (Shabbos 8: 4) considers to be one of the “ways of the Emorites.” However, he mentions that the above may be restricted only to tying the red string on the finger and may not apply to other bodily parts. He quotes such a tradition from the Yerushalaim”s elders, namely to go around Kever Rochel seven times with a red string, before placing it around the neck of the ill. Yechave Da”as (6: 50) asserts that what is not recorded in the Talmud itself, will not be prohibited for being “the ways of the Emorites.”

Be’er Moishe (8: 36) maintains that tying the red string on the hand or the carriage of a child, is a tradition that many used to keep. It is included in the minhagim of our elderly mothers that the Rashbo advises not to belittle, since they have their roots on holy high-ground; even if we do not understand now their reason.

He quotes similar opinions from Kol Bo on mila (p.129) who relates that the Yismach Moishe would advocate the use of the red string for perilous pregnancies. Vayizbor Yosef (115, p. 409) permits the use of a red string chain with a ruby pendant, as long as the intention of its use is for heaven’s sake. Some maintain that the origin of the red string remotes to Kolev’s and Pinchas advise to Rochov, to save herself by keeping the ‘Tikvas Hashoni’ in her window.

Others claim that it goes back to even earlier times: to the birth of Zerach, son of Yehuda and Tamar. The posuk (Bereshis 38: 28) reads; And it came about when she gave birth, that he (the infant) stretched out his hand. So the midwife took and bound a crimson thread on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.”
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlita opinion is that one should maintain the minhagim and traditions of ones family.

In regards to carrying it on Shabbos where there is no eiruv. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that the red string is similar to a kamia (an amulet or charm). A kamiah is an item which is supposed to contain supernatural powers for providing safety, healing and the like. Such items can be a parchment, a symbol item, an herb or similar.

Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 301: 25) rules that a kamia that has not been verified to be effective, one may not go out with it into a public domain on Shabbos, because we suspect that perhaps it does not work at all and therefore does not have the status of an ornament. Therefore, even if one always wears a red string, he should not carry it where there is no eiruv on Shabbos.

#5168 Mentalist Ability Test?
- Q. Long Life to Kvod Horav. The Ezer Mitzion and other organizations helping Israel invited master mentalist Lior Suchard to Toronto and he will be visiting here next week. I heard that his show is truly wonderful. My question is, is one by Halacha, permitted to attend the show and even bring his children with?

A. Firstly, we must understand what are we dealing with.
Mentalism (as described in Wikipedia and by others), is a performing art, in which its practitioners, known as mentalists, appear to demonstrate highly developed mental or intuitive abilities.

Mentalists perform also a theatrical act that includes special effects that may appear to employ psychic or supernatural forces but that is actually achieved by "ordinary conjuring means", natural human abilities (i.e. reading body language, refined intuition, subliminal communication, emotional intelligence), and an in-depth understanding of key principles from human psychology or other behavioral sciences. Performances may appear to include hypnosis, telepathy, clairvoyance, divination, precognition, psychokinesis, mediumship, mind control, memory feats, deduction, and rapid mathematics.

Mentalism is also commonly classified as a subcategory of magic and, when performed by a stage magician, may also be referred to as mental magic. However, many professional mentalists today may generally distinguish themselves from magicians, insisting that their art form leverages a distinct skillset.

Instead of doing "magic tricks", mentalists argue that they produce psychological experiences for the mind and imagination, and expand reality with explorations of psychology, suggestion, and influence. Mentalists are also often considered psychic entertainers, although that category also contains non-mentalist performers such as psychic readers and bizarrists.

They are also known as a mind-reader or psychological illusionist. A mentalist uses a combination of psychology, magic tricks, neuro-linguistic programming, sleight of hand, showmanship, and pseudo-psychology to create an environment where it feels like they are able to attract your attention and access your thoughts, and influence your behavior.

#5167 Flying With the Wind
- Q. When one's tie is flying in the wind, is it a problem on Shabbos?

A. Asuming that the question involves walking during Shabbos in a place without a proper Eiruv, so one may be then considered as carrying an object in a Public Domain during Shabbos, therefore, if people normally walk like that in a windy day, it would be permitted.

#5165 Bible Bashers?
Q. Is it permitted to use the pages of the King James Bible as kindling for a fireplace, (during winter, as I deal with discarded books), or are they Osur B'Hano'o (prohibited in benefit)?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that if the name of Hashem is written in Hebrew (Yud Kei Vov Kei) it would be prohibited to burn them, since one is destroying Hashem’s name. If not, there is no prohibition to burn them and then to benefit from the fire.

#5164 Sly As a Fox?
Q. The Gemara (שבת סז) says that a fox tooth from a live fox helps you stay awake. Is this permitted to do? Does this still work nowadays? (If Horav Miller says “yes” please ask him if the fox has to remain alive for it to work or as long as it was taken from a live fox it works.

Also does it have to be touching your skin or is it good enough if your just wearing it. Also does it have to be whole or can you make a hole in it?). Can you use it for Simchas Beis Hasoeva or for Nitel Nighth? Thank you

A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a opinion is that as, we have mentioned in other Shailos since the nature of the universe keeps constantly changing, one should not rely on curing methods and medicines or drugs used in the past without proper updated medical advice.

See questions 4107, 4272, 3841, 2839, 2860, 2422, 1982, 1836, and others.
