#5325 – Not a Fish Story!
- Q. See question above. I was also asked to buy real fresh fish for the party above on Zain Adar. Is there a reason for eating that fish at that festive banquet?
How fresh does it have to be?

A. Sefarim indeed mention eating fish, since the gematria of "דג" is 'ז or 7 and the מזל - symbol of Adar is indeed the fish.

It stands to reason that for this valuable Mitzva it should be tasty and delicious as real true fresh fish is.

#5324 The Party of Life?
- Kvod Moreinu Shlit”a. I’m a voluntary part time member of the Chevra Kadisha of our town. What is the usual tradition for the Chevra Kadisha to comply with on Zain Adar due in a few days?

A. On question 3550 we wrote:

“There are different Minhagim and traditions particular to different communities and groups. Most have the custom of fasting and saying a special prayer or “Tikun for the Seventh of Adar.”
It is also customary in many communities for the Chevrah Kadisha to observe the seventh of Adar as a day of gathering for its members. A festive banquet is held and for some the entire community participates. Rabbonim and community leaders attend and Gabaim and other leading members are appointed.

Also, Changing times may demand new rulings and regulations that have to be compatible with Halacha to be discussed and adopted for the coming year.”

#5323 Join and Bless Tonight’s Parade?
- Q. Kvod Rabbenu Shlit”a, I just read that sky gazers across the Northern Hemisphere will have a chance to see an extraordinary celestial event tonight Friday (Feb. 28, 2025), as all of the planets in our solar system will appear together in the evening sky.

This phenomenon known as a "planet parade," will feature Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all visible at the same time along a line or arc in the sky, NASA says. Though "planet parade" is not an official astronomical term, it typically refers to when four or more planets are seen together in the sky.

The chance to observe all planets simultaneously is rare. Does one have to recite the bracha of Ose Maaseh Bereishith if he actually watches it?

A. See questions 3702, “A Mask on the Moon” regarding the full lunar eclipse of Sunday May 15 2022, and question 1418 regarding the full solar eclipse of August 2017, that we we wrote:

“We do not find in Talmud or Shulchan Aruch our sages instituted any blessing for eclipses. Although a bracha is recited on other constant ‘Niflaos’ and wonders of Hashem’s Creation such as thunder, lightning, meteors and comets and according to many Poskim even earthquakes.

Contemporary Poskim maintain that we do not recite a brocho on eclipses. (Orchois Rabbenu (1 p. 95) and Shaarei Brocho (21: n. 73- Shaar Hoayin 7: 6 n. 13, mentions that Shevet Halevy was in doubt).

Ase Lecha Rav (5: 7) explains that ‘Ose Maaseh Bereishis’ is only recited for natural events, which are also part of the positive Creation of Bereishis.

On question 708 in regards to the Aurora Borealis lights, we wrote that: Although the Northern Lights is a display of one of the most striking and magnificent phenomena in nature, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that since this event is not recorded in the Talmud or Poskim directly, one should recite Ose Maase Bereshis without the name of Hashem.

It is usually the opinion of Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a to avoid making a brocho with Hashem’s name on unusual extraordinary natural events as there are various points of doubt in the necessity of the blessing.

#5322 Devote to the Vote?
- Q. Dear Rov Shlit'a.  If someone is voting today, does he have to have in mind that he wants to comply with a Torah mitzva since Horav Miller Shlit'a and all other Rabanim ordained to do so?
Thanks.

A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a indeed mentioned that one should have in mind that by voting as required, one is complying with a Biblical Mitzva as is usually required to comply correctly.

#5321 The Signs of the Times!
- Q. Is it correct to place the sign o Mishenichnas Adar Marbim Besimcha at the entrance of home, next to the Zecher Lecchurban or should one cover it or remove it?

A. On Q. 4665 we wrote:

Q. If ones tradition is to hang a sign by the door that expresses our mitzva of rejoicing during the month of Adar. (Mishenichnas Adar Marbim Besimcha). Should one use it to cover the memorial on the entrance for the destruction of the Beth Hamikdash, (Zecher Lechurban) since that one brings sadness and mourning?

- A. Indeed, Yalkut Avrohom (686) mentions that there is wide kept tradition for some to place during Adar a sign at our homes or other locations where people meet, to remind us of the great importance and mitzva of rejoicing even during the month of Adar Rishon (see question 473). See also Nitei Gavriel (begining of H. Purim).

However, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it does not contradict or negate the Churban Beis Hamikdash at all, as we see in many our tefilos of Yomim Tovim when we also mention the destruction and great hope for the prompt rebuilding of our most Holy Temple. We can address both realities at the same time.

#5320 Tough Eggs to Crack?
- Q. Can a Baalas Teshuva woman who was born from an illicit and adulterous marriage that made her a “Mamzeret” donate her eggs to an infertile friend that cannot conceive and not only help her but merit to have herself Kosher offspring?

A. On question 4290 regarding performing a Bris Mila on Shabbos for a baby whose father isn’t Jewish. If a child is born by IVF from an egg donated by a Gentile mother, we wrote:

“In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) using mature eggs collected (retrieved) from ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab, is not uncommon in our days. In the case above, likely the baby will require conversion, and the Bris therefore cannot be done on Shabbos.”

Although, even when egg donation is permitted, and IVF is used, there are different issues to consider. See question 617 (A Matter of Life and Death).

# 5319 Cater the Water?
- Q. Dear Rabbi and friend, I just read on a Daas Torah news source, a very motivating article. It mentioned that Sigi Cohen, the mother of Eliya Cohen who was released from Hamas captivity on a recent Shabbos, spoke at a press conference on Sunday evening at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah.

She first spoke about her efforts over 505 days to bring her son and his fellow hostages home. “I asked Am Yisrael to stand together, to have mutual responsibility, and to be there for one another like brothers and sisters. And what I most asked for was an increase in tefillos and good deeds.”

“From Eliya’s side, we heard that every day, he recited the parshiyot for putting on tefillin and he recited Kiddush on Shabbos on a cup of water, strengthening himself and others. We heard about many nissim and hashgachah (Hashem’s Supervision) that Eliya and his friends experienced there.”

I’m just wondering, if a person finds himself in a similar situation when he can not make Kiddush on any acceptable drink, should he make Kiddush on water.

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that kidush can not be said on water.

#5318 – Zoom the Zain?
- Q. Moreinu. Someone in my family is making a wedding on Zain Adar (Adar 7, March 6 25) should I attend? If not, can I zoom the wedding?

A. Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 580: 2) includes Zain Adar (Adar 7) in the list of the days that mark mournful occasions of tragedies or persecution that happened to our nation and it is proper to fast on them. It mentions (ibid. 2) that it is the day when Moshe Rabbenu passed away.

Piskei Teshuvos (ibid. 1) quotes opinions of forbidding weddings on those days, however he mentions that many do perform marriages on those occasions (Hanisuim Kehilchosom 5: 59). Nitei Gavriel (15: 3) similarly mentions that many Gedolim permit.

We have mentioned repeatedly that zooming any ceremony does not usually count as actually attending and being there, therefore even if one follows the tradition of avoiding attending a wedding on Zain Adar, it would be permitted to zoom to it.

#5317 No News is Good News?
- Q. See question above. If we are not allowed to spread sad news during Shabbos, how come that we recite a Mi Sheverach for the real sick people, usually when reading the Torah. Does that not cause distress for the listeners when they hear that a friend is ill?

A. On question 2989 we wrote:

Q. Is it proper for a gabay in a shul were they usually recites a misheberach for the sick on Shabbos, to include the name of a severely sick new covid patient, if the attendants will become very distressed and sad when they hear that familiar name? Is it better, even if the family asked to mention him, in this particular case to avoid doing it on Shabbos?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a recommended to mention his name quietly when reciting the mi sheberach, so people will not notice and become distressed during Shabbos.

#5316 Sad and Bad?
- Q. The MB (Mishna Berurah) 307/3 says not to say sad news on Shabbos. Someone I was eating by asked me about a familiar Rav and where does he live. The Rav is no longer alive. Should I have answered that he is in the Olam Haemes (World of Truth – namely he passed away) even though it will make the person sad, or better to lie and say that I don't know or similar?

A. On question 2923 we wrote:
Q. On this past Shabbos, would it have been permissible to tell a gabbai making a mishabayrach for Rav Dovid (Feinstein) zatzal, not to do so? (The Posek Hador was niftar an hour before Shabbos and not everyone was aware of this.) Was it permissible for a Rav to mention in his drasha something about the petira, or should one avoid discussing it at all and distressing people who may not have heard of it?

Is there a chiluk if the people already know about the petira, or if it’s news?
A. Taz (O.H. 307: 14) quotes Sefer Chasidim who prohibits reminding someone of a friend that perished. The reason is that one should not cause grief during Shabbos.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in principle we are not allowed to say sad news on Shabbos. Therefore it is best to avoid mentioning all the sad news, and then even to stop an erroneous Mi Sheberach, as in our case.

#5315 – Go and Do Door of Adar
- Q. Kvod Horav Shlit’a. Is it true that if one davens for something very needed and very special, he should do so and specially dedicate Rosh Chodesh Adar for it? Can one also in need then fast on that day?

A. Indeed sefarim write that the name Adar is related to to the Hebrew word Adir (Tehillim 8:2) meaning authorization, leading and strength. It is also the month of success and victory. (Machshevet Charutz, 4) Besides, during Adar spring is in the air. And there are indeed segulos written in Sefarim for Rosh Chodesh Adar.

Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a opinion is similar and added that one should not fast on any Rosh Chodesh.

#5314 First Priority?
- Q. Dear Rov. Sorry we are so late, but we do need an answer before Shabbat (Parshat Mishpatim 2025)  begins. We usually have a shiur before Mincha on Shabbat afternoon on Talmud and we prepare for a Siyum now for Erev Pesach. Some of our group want to change it to learn the most necessary Halachot of Purim and Pesach, what has priority?

A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a suggested that the shiur on Talmud should continue, yet at the end you should add ten or fifteen minutes to review the necessary Halachos of Purim and Pesach.

#5313 A Burning Shailah
- Q. What is the correct way to deal with a non-religious family member who wants to cremate the grandfather of a Baaeil Teshuva family, when he is in charge of the proceedings?

A. There are different methods that could be used for convincing the offspring to take good care of the remains of their deceased elders.

One successful argument that I personally used with families of Holocaust survivors, is that we most tragically already had many, many of our forefathers cremated in the Nazis crematoriums, and we should not add more to them in any way.

#5311 A Note on the Vote!
- Q. Dear Rabbi as we approach elections in our town and we keep on getting all kind of emails from Rabbinical and community leaders that it is an obligation to vote. Is that really true?

A. On question 561 A Mitzvah to Vote? We wrote:

Q. B”H. Shalom, Dear Rabbi, Is there a halakhic obligation to vote in the elections for the various levels of government of Canada?

A. It is quite common in times of elections, specially in Israel for the Gedolim or recognized community leaders to voice their Halachic opinion as to the obligation to vote for a certain candidate or party. However, this obligation belongs to the realm of promoting the observance of the mitzvos of the Torah, not as a required mitzvah per se.

(Much has been written about the permissibility of joining Israeli elections.
See Hilchos Medinah ch. 3, from Horav E. Y. Waldenberg Zt”l, Horav Nissim Karelitz Shlit’a explaining the Chazon Ish position – Vezorach Hashemesh p. 408, Vehoemes Eid Leatzmo 13, et. al.)

In countries where vote is compulsory (and often enforced,) as in most of Latin- America, Australia, Greece etc., voting would be a Halachic obligation based on “Dinah D’malchusah” or the obligation to comply with the law of the land. (Nedorim 28a, Bava Kama 113b etc. Shulchan Aruch C.M. 369: 8).

In Canada, to vote is a right and not obligatory (Section 3 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms). Yet the Novi Yermiyahu (29: 5-7) encouraged the Babylonian exiles to “Build houses and dwell [therein], and plant gardens and eat their produce. – And seek the peace of the city where I (Hashem) have exiled you and pray for it -, for in its peace you shall have peace.” Certainly a successful and truthful democracy is essential for peace.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that indeed in our times and conditions that can affect keeping properly some mitzvos of our Torah, exercising our right to vote is not only advisable and recommended, but an obligation.

#5310 – The Price of the Praise!
- Q. Dear Moreinu Shlit’a. We know that you are related to the Gestetner family. A group (in the N.Y. area) that also is family, wants to know what is Horav Shlomo Miller”s Shlit”a opinion in our group organizing a Hesped the coming week in memory of the Rebbetzin Ettil Gestetner O”H, wife of Hagaon Rav Nosson Gestetner zt”l, author of Lehoros Nosson that recently was niftar.

Is that a correct approach and worthy act to be “maspid” (eulogize) a woman, even if she is such a great personality? Should other women also join?

A. Our Rabbonim maintain that usually Hespedim and eulogies are also made for women, especially at the time of the Levayah (funeral) and often even in the shul itself later on and women also attend. However one should inquire what is the tradition of that particular shul.

#5309 A Blessed Brocho?
- Q. Does the Mezonos bracha that one recites during a Shabbath Kidush, include and exempts from all the other foods included later in that kidush, such as cholent, potatoes or desert?

A. Although the eating of cakes or similar Mezonos items is necessary for having the proper value of the necessary Kiddush Bemokom Seuda, it is not the same as chalah or bread and does not provide the brocho exemption for all other foods.

- Q. Kevod Morenu Horav Shlit”a. If someone donated a large amount of soda bottles to his new shul for a large simcha, does he have to take care of the empty bottles? If there is a gift- promotion involved, is it for him to keep?

A. It stands to reason that it depends on the established traditions of each shul, that usually shuln already have, and one has to follow them. If there is a disagreement, you may have to attend a local impartial Beis Din to solve the differences.

#5307 Mind your E-Mind?
- See questions above. Q. Will it make a difference if that implant is only biologically human or if it is an advanced electronic addition that can interconnect with the brain?

A. On question 2928 (At Arm’s Length) we wrote: “Can one use that prosthetic electronic arm hand on Shabbat? What if it is not connected to the batteries?

To what we answered: “ On question 1221 regarding new technology that enables the totally invalid or paraplegic to drive a wheel chair only via their brain electrical waves.

Electrodes connected to their head receive those waves and with some training, allow the invalid to control his thoughts and change his mind wave patterns. Those are interpreted by the wheel chair computer to start, stop and direct the movement of the chair.

We also added: “Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that a melacha or work performed on Shabbos by using only the electrical charges that emanate from ones controlled and willing thoughts, collected by electrodes attached to the head, is considered a proper melacha.

However, for someone who does not usually use his thoughts for the creation of electrical discharges, it likely would be a melacha performed with a shinui or a significant deviation from the norm and therefore only Rabbinically prohibited. However, an invalid or paraplegic that uses this method to constantly move and perform other works, for him it becomes the norm and would constitute a Biblical prohibition.”

Therefore, the use of that bionic arm and hand, regardless whether it is done directly, by using the electrical discharges provided by the nerves or the electrical waves provided by the brain, would not be permitted during Shabbos. However, if one turned off the arm before Shabbos, and just wants to use it as a covering or dressing to look like others, it would be permitted”.
