# 4198 A question of Taste
|
|
|
Q. If one has to take medical pills during Pesach, although even if they contain Kitnios we usually allow them in need, yet I wonder if it would be preferable to take them with a drop of vinegar or any other distasteful liquid, to make them even more permitted?
A. Talmud (Pesachim 115a) mentions that one should not consume matza and maror when they are enveloped or mixed together, since the mitzva of matza is even in our days Biblical, while the maror is only Rabbinical.
Minchas Chinuch (M.6 : 2, as explained by Minchas Yitzchok 7: 32) maintains that the above is only in regard to the complying of two different mitzvos, but it does not apply to prohibitions. Hence, we do not permit the consumption of a prohibited food just because the taste became bitter by adding different spices or condiments (unless it became totally and irrevocably inedible).
Therefore, adding vinegar to the pills one takes would not make much difference in Halacha.

# 4197 Little - Yet Gigantic Fish
|
|
|
Q. Shalom Rav Shlit’a. As you have mentioned in many occasions, there are many different traditions and Minhagim regarding the foods one eats during Pesach or at the Seder, and as Horav Miller Shlit’a often stresses, one should keep always and everywhere one’s family traditions when possible.
I visited a newcomer to our community and they offered us some very small deliciously baked complete fishes at a Yom Tov meal. They told me they were leftovers from the Seder and that they had that tradition in his home town in Eastern Europe to eat them. Is there a source for this strange Minhag?
A. Surprisingly, we did find a source for this unusual minhag and it is mentioned by the Yofe Laleiv (O.H. 2: 473: 5). He nicely quotes the roots of this minhag of his own town, and the origin is in Talmud (Sota 11b, today's Daf!). He explains the source of our redemption from Mitzrayim, where the women who sacrificed themselves to bring pails of water from the river Nile to quench the thirst of the tortured hard working slaves. On those pails, as Hashem gifted, were also little fish and the nourishment they provided, was a big help in the survival of their men.
Yofe Laleiv (ibid) further quotes that those little fishes were reincarnations of the Neshamos of the newborn children that were thrown into the water by the Egyptians.

# 4196 Angelic Garlic
|
|
|
Q. My parents had a tradition not to eat garlic during Pesach. I really love the very healthy garlic and eat it daily, do I have to follow their tradition?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shli’a opinion is that this tradition does not have any base in our days, since natural complete garlic bulbs are not dried anymore in ovens that may contain Chometz, so you can eat it during Pesach.

# 4195 Don’t Watch the Dog
|
|
|
Q. I was invited this Pesach to a shul where they just installed a new Aron Hakodesh that is made from a huge safe box that still has the emblem of the manufacturer and it is a clearly seen plain dog. Since the Poroches curtain is not on yet in place, is there a problem in davening in front of a dog?
A. On question 2962 we asked that in the second temple R. Chanina (S’gan HaCohanim) said that he saw the heavenly fire descend (on the altar) resembling a crouching dog (Yoma 21b). Why compare the Heavenly Holy fire to a crouching dog!?
To what we answered: Kaftor Vaferach maintains that the presence of the Shechina’s Heavenly Fire, depends on the people present to receive it. During the first Beis Hamikdosh, there were far many more great Tzadikim and holy Sages forthcoming and available.
Not so during the Second Temple. That penurious stage was compared to a dog, on whom our sages teach, since his food is scarce, Hashem made his needs little and so requires small amounts of food to survive.
Nevertheless, in this case it should be removed or covered as soon as possible.

# 4194 Just Keep Them Apart
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rov Shlit’a. I have a problem since I follow the Minhag not to eat quinoa during Pesach (as being Kitniyos). I’m invited to a friend and the host serves it and puts it in the same large and elongated serving tray with the meat, and I’m afraid that the meat sauce could at some point come in contact with the quinoa, should I avoid that main part of the meal?
A. Some Poskim permit the eating of quinoa, based on Igrois Moshe’s (O.H. 3: 63) ruling that grains that were not available at the time when the Kitniyos decree was accepted by Ashkenazim, were not included. However, many abstain and so is the ruling of Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a.
Nevertheless, in your particular case, the Rov’s opinion is that, if you are careful and avoid the meat sauce touching the quinoa and take the farthermost piece away, since it is only a Chumra, it would be permitted.

# 4193 Rebetzins Read and Recline?
|
|
|
Q. Thanks to Hashem, we have in our blessed large family boys and girls of all ages. The girls, some are already Bas Mitzva, want to recline at the Pesach Seder as their brothers do. My wife does not do Haseiva. Can we let our daughters recline also?
A. Shulchan Aruch (472: 4) rules that a woman is not required to recline by the Pesach Seder, unless she is an important woman. Rema (ibid.) adds that all our women are considered important, yet the do not recline since they rely on the opinion of the Rabiah who maintains that reclining does not apply in our days, since even in the most important official banquets given in the honor of kings and world rulers, no one reclines.
Kaf Hachaim, Ohr Letzion and others mention that women by Sefaradim do recline. Michtav Sofer writes that his mother the wife of the Chassam Sofer zt’l and the daughter of Rabi Akiva Eiger zt’l would indeed recline.
Hilchos Chag Bechag (22: 7) mentions in the name of Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt’l that by the Chazon Ish zt’l women would also do Haseiva. (See Piskei Teshuvos 472: 6).
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that although one should always maintain the traditions of his family, if the above would avoid conflict and keep the Sholom Bais, it is allowed.

# 4192 Zoom In or Out?
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbi, thanks for your condolences for the recent Petira of my father zt’l. Can an Avel, like me who is a Bechor also (first born) attend a Siyum on Erev Pesach so I won’t have to fast. After all an Avel, should not learn Torah, is it then permitted? Can I zoom a Siyum from where the Shiva is?.
A. On question 2721 regarding a siyum by Zoom where each person eats his own food with his family, if it is considered a seudas mitzva we wrote:
“On question 2621and 198 regarding a siyum Erev Pesach, if it can it be done by phone, online or Zoom, On question 198 we mentioned: If you learned together (a tractate of the Talmud) with a group but now are on vacation somewhere else, can you join (the siyum fleishig banquet during the nine days) via telephon. We answered; Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a ruled that if you learned the whole tractate you can join the siyum via telephone. However, if you did not study, you cannot just dial – a- siyum. Similar opinions are to be found in other Poiskim (Mekadesh Yisroel, Pesach 256, et al.).
Likewise if one learned the Masechta to be finished and is on his way to the Siyum he could join the siyum via telephone or online.
In our singular situation when a very dangerous pandemic is raging the Rov,s opinion is that since there are grounds as is for people not fasting, one may join in need, a siyum on the phone or online.”
Therefore, if every participant in the siyum, eats his own seuda with his family and friends, it is considered a seudas mitzva

# 4191 Real Hot – Hot Dogs
|
|
|
Q. I attend a Pesach Hotel that although it has a very good Hechser, it offers the kids during Chol Hamoed hot dogs in buns that look and taste exactly like the real ones, yet they are not Chametz since they are made from potato starch. Is that permitted?
A. As you requested I spoke to the Rav Hamachshir of that hotel and he told me that he consulted with his Rov and told that they place a big sign next to all the carts that serve those hot dogs during Pesach, and it clearly states that the brocho to be recited is Shehakol since they are maid from potato starch, and are thus permitted.
He argued that why should this not be similar to Pareve milk, served after a fleishig meal when marked properly.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that although it is in principle permitted, yet it is preferred during Pesach to abstain from an unnecessary lenience and maintain the spirit of Kedusha and abstention.

# 4190 Great Grains of Enlightenment
|
|
|
Q. Kevod Horav Shlit’a. Can someone who usually lights Neiros Shabbos and Yom Tov using oil, light during Pesach with Kitniyos Oil?
A. Mishna Berura (453: 10) rules that in principle it is permitted since the Kitniyos prohibition applies only in eating them, and not to deriving benefit from them which is allowed.
However, he adds that it is apparent that people are usually stringent in using such oil for candle lighting, since the Kitniyos grain could actually contain some chometz grains mixed into it.
Yet Poskim permit, when the oil used has a proper Hechsher and is used for Sephardim that permit Kitniyos.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is permitted, yet it is preferred to keep the oil container with those lights, properly separated from the food. (See also Piskei Teshivos ibid 7).

# 4189 Don’t Spill this Shaila!
|
|
|
Q. The new Kiddush cups we use for Pesach, have exactly the correct Shiur amount needed to comply with the mitzva of four cups.
If someone hands tremble can he recite Kiddush and the additional Hagada parts while his cup rests on the plate and he is just holding it so it won’t spill?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is correct to do so and if some spills after the brocho was said it will not matter anymore.

# 4188 The Time to Thank
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbi. I really would like first to thank you for giving the opportunity to all, men and specially women of all ages and status the opportunity to ask with total anonymity Torah and Halacha questions that can be answered by Gedolim such Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a.
I always wondered, since I’m a mother of B’H a large family of children most still young and my husband is a Rebi and teacher and we can not afford any paid help. Cleaning and preparing for Peisach is in our case and I‘m sure the same is for many others like us, a monumental enterprise. The labor, effort and time involved to do it right, is very long and incredible difficult. So how come there in nowhere, to my humble knowledge, any mention at all, in the Hagada or otherwise a thank you for the sacrifice that women do to make a Kosher Pesach? Why? Why? WHY?!!!
A. We must understand that the relationship and obligations between husband and wife, do not differ on the time of preparation for Pesach, Yom Tov or any other difficult time and circumstances of a lifetime.
Our Sages taught us: (Yevamot 62b) That one must love his wife as he loves himself, and honor her more than himself... If he so does, about him the verse states: And you shall know that your tent is in peace. As a result of his actions, there will be peace in his home, as it will be devoid of quarrel and sin, and that applies always.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.

# 4187 Artificial Matza?
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rov. I know that you were one of the first Rabbanim to deal and post the question if artificial meat made by placing DNA from meat cells into non-meat nutrients is Kosher. I now wonder if the same would apply to bread (or Matza) made in a similar way. Would that bread be Kasher L’Pesach?
A. Indeed almost seven years ago on question 1230 and 2114 we wrote that “Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that Cultured Meat is not considered meat and if the original stem cells were extracted from a kosher slaughtered animal and all the nutrients used were kosher, the produce would need no salting and may in principle be permitted even with milk.
Although other Rabbonim disagreed, some changed their mind and recently Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau has found that cultured meat could, in theory, can be mixed with dairy.
In our case now, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that even if indeed the original molecules and organic parts that are the base material for the cultured wheat or other Chometz grain created by using just the DNA of wheat, are not really ‘wheat,’ and therefore cannot be used for keeping the mitzva of Matza during Pesach.
Moreover, since the created produce, tastes, smells, and may even look like bread, it would be prohibited for Ma’aras Ayin by providing the wrong forbidden impression.

# 4185 The Best Speaker
|
|
|
Q. A father who spends the Seder with his son and grandchildren, who should recite the Hagada the grandfather or the son who is after all the ‘Baal Habait’ (house owner) and the father of the children?
A. On a similar question (3632) we wrote: “The mitzva of Sipur Yetzias Mitzraim or telling the Haggadah story applies to a grandfather also. (See Talmud Kiddushin 31a in regard to the mitzva of learning Torah that it applies to grandchildren also). Teshuvos Vehanhogos (2: 236) maintains that it is even a greater mitzva for the grandfather to tell the Haggadah to the children.
Chassam Soffer’s opinion is that the grandfather should tell his son, and the son then should tell his children
It would seem that the best way is to divide time. The father should explain shortly to his children the answer to their four questions. The rest of the Haggadah that as is is hard for them to understand and keep attention to, should be recited by the grandfather that as is (if it is his home) is leading the Seder.
A father complies with this mitzva even if his children area grownup and also already Talimidei Hachamim. (Rambam H. Chometz Umatza 7:: 2-3).
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.

# 4184 Garbage In?
|
|
|
Q. See question above. Can you and how do you then return the containers from the curb?
A. On question 2626 regarding how one can return from the curb the garbage bins that were collected during Yom Tov? (this is important since in streets where non frum or Gentile neighbors dwell, they are bothered by the apparent disregard of the frum people to the cleanliness and the by-laws of the city thus creating a Chilul Hashem).
We wrote that it is allowed “Even if they are emptied on Thursday (first day of Pesach), it is permitted, since the chometz is off one’s property and not inside one’s utensil.
Since the bins themselves are after all a utensil, and its use is permitted on Shabbos and Yom Tov, the reason they may be muktza may be due to the fact that they became a “bosis” or a base and support to the prohibited chometz on it at the beginning of Yom Tov.
However, Poskim disagree whether the above also applies to an object that was already destined to be removed during Shabbos or Yom Tov, as is in our case (See Shulchan Aruch O.H. 309: 4 and Mishna Berura).
Therefore. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that they may be moved from the curb when needed. (Or one may just push them with his body, if one desires to be stringent).

# 4183 Garbage Out
|
|
|
Q. How do we deal with the disposal of the garbage that contains Chametz when the cans are only emptied and collected during the first day of Pesach?
A. On question 2613 on a similar situation we wrote: “Indeed on the Drasha of Shabbos Hagodol yesterday, (4/2/20), Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a indicated that in Toronto the garbage bins are owned by the city and one pays a yearly fee for their use and disposal.
Therefore, when the bins with chometz in them, are placed by the curb outside the homeowners property, before the time when the chometz prohibition begins (this year on Wednesday), even if they are emptied on Thursday (first day of Pesach), it is permitted, since the chometz is off one’s property and not inside one’s utensil.

# 4182 Join the Best Sale
|
|
|
Q. What is Horav Miller’s Shlit’a opinion of selling one’s Chometz via the internet as is very common in our days?
A. Although in principle the naming of the Rabbi as an agent to sell may be done via the internet. However, it is probably better to use personally your local Rabbi if you can, for an important reason. The relationship between a congregant and his Rabbi needs to be a strong one in order to grow in Torah and be part of the shul. If you make the effort to meet your Rabbi and use him for your Halacha questions and other ritual needs, you will get close to him and enrich your Torah and experience greatly.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.

Q. An Orthodox rabbi told me it's okay to eat a little during the (Hagada recitation at the) Seder if I get hungry. I just have to make sure to say the appropriate after bracha before starting the meal. Is this standard practice as I never heard of it before but I really do suffer while waiting and often feel sick by the time the meal comes around.
A. Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 473: 3) restricts drinking additional wine after the drinking of the first cup of Kidush, since it may cause intoxication. It is however, permitted later on by the meal. Mishna Berura (16) mentions that other non alcoholic drinks are permitted then.
Poskim also permit eating fruits and similar for those who are ill or debilitated.
Vayaged Moshe (15: 14) mentions that the Tzadik of Unsedorf Zt’l who was a firstborn and fasted the whole day of Erev Pesach, would eat some soup after Kidush to be able to recite properly the Hagada. A similar ruling is mentioned in Peleh Yoetz. See also Piskei Teshuvos (ibid.)

Q. See above question. The other friend's family is very laid back. Can I just go along with them or do I have to keep my usual minhagim?
A. I assume that as opposed to the question above, you mean this family is more lenient than you are, yet you would like to be with them since you will be consuming your own food and diet.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in need you can do so.

Q. I am staying with two sets of friends this Pesach. One is very machmir *stringent) and follows Chabad minhagim. Is it okay if I do my own thing (I eat a special diet) and eat on disposable plates so I can enjoy my usual Passover cuisine?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you have to consult with your hosts with plenty time before, and tell them in detail what are the products that you will be bringing to their table, even if you don’t share them and stay separate.
I they agree, there is no problem consuming your own accepted meal.
