#5863 - The Best Shemini Time
|
|
|
Q. When is the best and most meaningful time to read Parshas Shemini?
A. Parshas Shemini is often read after Pesach or sometimes after Purim, times when wine and drinks are common. During our difficult times, it is essential to understand what and where is the real source of joy and happiness.
The Talmud (Megilah 10b) states that since the day of Creation there was not another day so full of Simcha and joy as the Yom Hashmini, the day of the inauguration of the Mishkan.
The laws of Kashrus teach that; “we are what we eat,” If we consume non-kosher animals we assume their nature and incorporate their instincts. (Ramban) If the animal is impure, we will take up its tainted character, as we ingest it.
By the same token, the juxtaposition of these two chapters demonstrates that equally “we are what we do and what we think.”
The greatest of human accomplishments has to be the building of the Mishkan, as after all it became the abode of the Creator of the universe Himself. It thus concentrated all and everything in its midst.
A story is told that when the train was first invented, the world was flabbergasted. It was simply revolutionary and would change everything. Until this invention came along, the world traveled by carriages and wagons either pulled by horses and donkeys or pushed by people. The idea that a row of cars can move on their own accord was bewildering for most people.

#5862 - The Key to the Kinds of Kitniyos
|
|
|
- Q. Rabeinu Shlit"a.
Does one have to actually wait until one gets sick in order to consume medicine made of Kitniyos, or can one take it as a preventive means to avoid getting ill.
A. It would depend in the severity and other conditions of the illness, therefore a proper medical authority should be first consulted.

#5861 – Shure Shemira for Shemura?
|
|
|
- Q. Hon. Rabbi Shlit”a.
We baked our Shemura Matza for Pesach this year a few months ago. In order to keep it fresh we froze the matza inside a Pesach freezer. Is there a problem to use it now?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if one was careful that the matzos were well protected and did not get wet specially when taken out of the freezer.
(They should be placed in a container where the can defrost slowly and don’t become moist).

#5860 – The Mexican Aficoman? -
|
|
|
Q. Querido Rabino, larga vida.
In our town in Mexico many complain on the tradition of stealing the Afikomen by the children at the Seder of Pesach. Since we are constantly engaged in teaching our children to avoid that common behavior in our society. Does one have to keep that tradition in our days?
A. Some Poskim quote that tradition. Sidur Yavetz quotes that practice as following the Talmud Pesachim 109a that mentions the grabbing of matzos on the night of Pesach and explain that the reason is since after the hard labor and toil involved in the preparation and setting of the Seder, the kids may just fall early asleep and miss the last matza.
To keep them up, considering the gift they may receive in the exchange, we follow the above tradition.
We must add that the kids should be warned to hide the Afikomen under a bed, in a bathroom or in a place were it could get wet.

#5859 – Once Again Giving Gain to Gone Gebrochts
|
|
|
- Q. See questions above:
Kvod Rabenu Shlit’a, one more question for now. If one does not eat gebrochts on Pesach, does a piece of it become Muktza and prohibited to touch?
A. The Chazon Ish (Shabbos 49:15) rules that cooking Kneidlach from Yom Tov to Shabbos may be Muktzah if ones minhag is that Gebrochts are prohibited, however, if one is merely stringent to avoid it than it is permitted.

#5858 - Again Giving Gain to Gone Gebrochts
|
|
|
- Q. See questions above: Kvod Rabenu Shlit’a.
Thank you so much for your prompt answers One more question on this topic for now please. If one does not eat gebrochts on Pesach, how does it then fit into our common practice for eating the Korech on the Pesach Seder.
Our tradition is to place some chrein sandwiched between two pieces of matza. After all the chrein is ground horseradish and is kind of liquid?
A. Usually people that avoid Gebrochts just dip the Marror herbs in the Charoses not the Matzah, as mentioned in Remah, (Shulchan Aruch O.H. 475: 1), and then eat them together joined in the mouth with the matza. See Mishna Brurah 475:1

#5857 – Giving Gain to Gone Gebrochts?
|
|
|
- Q. See question above.
Kvod Rabenu Shlit’a. Where is the source in Halacha of not placing matza during Pesacha in liquids or eating gebrochts?
A. Likely one of the first reference to Poskim that mention the above Minhag is the Olas Shabbos (453:3) who discusses a Halacha of the Bach that Matzos should be baked only prior to Pesach and not during Pesach. The reason he mentions is that Chometz only becomes batel or annulled before Pesach and not during the Yom Tov. The Olas Shabbos adds, “And one who is concerned for this stringency should not cook a baked Matzoh on Pesach either, because how and why is it different than baking?’
In other words, the Olas Shabbos is concerned that the Chametz that was mixed into the Matzoh but became nullified before Pesach, may be now re-awakened on Pesach itself.
The Mogen Avrohom (458:1) quotes the Olas Shabbos and after questioning it, differentiates between the Bach’s and the the Olas Shabbos cases.
Another source for the concern for Gebrokts is in the response of Rabbi Shniur Zalman of Liadi, the Baal HaTanya. He raises concern that perhaps the Matzoh was not kneaded sufficiently, and some unbaked flour may remain on the Matzoh. The soaking will thus bring about chometzing or fermenting process.

#5856 – Know Your Kneidlach
|
|
|
- Q. Kvod Rabenu Shlit’a.
We have a long time family minhag to eat Kneidlach during Pesach. What is the origin of that minhag, and how important is it?
A. Although the exact origins of the matzo ball aren’t clear, it seems to be a relatively new invention dating back to sometime in the 19th century.
On Passover, it is forbidden to make anything that could become leaven or chametz. This of course precludes the adding of anything like a crouton, or something similar made out of flour, to a soup on Passover since that would be chametz However, once a matzo was already properly baked then it can no longer become chametz.
The theory goes that at one point, perhaps when Eastern European cuisine began introducing dumplings in traditional foods, someone got the brilliant idea of using matzo crumbs, either from the leftover matzo after Passover or from the crumbs produced while baking matzo before Passover, to make “matzo meal” and produce the matzo ball. Nowadays, it is mass-produced by pulverizing matzos, which in most instances were specifically baked for this very purpose.
The kneidel gained fame in June 2013, when it was the winning word in the 86th Scripps National Spelling Bee. After the spelling bee, there was a debate as to the correct spelling.
But perhaps there is a deeper origin to the matzo ball, which we can glean from the fact that some are careful not to eat matzo balls for most of Passover. (from Chabad Org.)

#5855 – Lean on a Clean Hotel Room?
|
|
|
- Q. Dearest Rabbi.
I will be traveling to a hotel for Pesach arriving on Erev Pesach early in the morning. Since I don’t know if there is some chometz cakes or bars left in the room, and I also may arrive late as planes are delayed now often. In case of need can I sell the chometz using an AI program that buys chometz on line?
A. The correct thing is that at the time one registers in the room, he should ask to have removed and emptied the fridge or any other container from any offered foods. One should ask an attendant to take up the baggage and empty the fridge, offering the necessary tip.

#5854 – Q. Selling Safely Some Shul Chometz!
|
|
|
- Q. Dear Rabbi, Is it correct for a new young and likely only temporary Rabbi from a shul to sell the Chamtez from the shul and that which he bought from the members and others, to the Gentile that always fulfills that purpose? After all he does not have the authority of an accepted Rabbi of the institution?
A. He has to be named and delegated that authority by the accepted and legally responsible directors of the institution, even if it is only temporary. The above applies and is effective even if he lacks any other legal rights and position in the Shul.

#5853 Drink Correctly!
|
|
|
- Q. See question above. What is the ideal way to distribute for others from the kiddush cup?
A. The correct way to distribute Kiddush is as follows: After the completion of Kiddush, the reciter pours the wine from the becher into another cup. He then drinks a m’lo lugmav (mouthfull) from the becher, and the wine in the other cup is distributed.
If a husband and wife are eating alone, and the wife is a niddah, the husband should either 1) put his cup down after drinking a m’lo lugmav and his wife drinks from that cup, or 2) pour wine into another cup and drink a m’lo lugmav from that cup.
His wife should then drink from the becher that he has put down.

#5852 Something to Amount?
|
|
|
- Q. Kvod Rabi Shlit”a.
What is the correct amount of wine to drink for the above and in what span of time?
A. See question above. When completing Kiddush, the one who recites it should drink a “m’lo lugmov,” the amount of wine that fills one of his cheeks. Poskim rule that for an average adult male, this is between 44-59 ml (1.5 and 2 fl. oz.).
It should be drank within a 30 second time span. This is the shiur k’dai shtiyas revi’is (psak of various Poskim including HaRav Moshe Heinemann, shlita). Other Poskim are lenient “Bedieved”, after the fact if it is drunk within four minutes.

#5851 A Golden Becher?
|
|
|
Q. Kvod Rabi Shlit”a. Is there a preference to use a silver becher (cup) for the seder or kiddush when possible?
A. Indeed, if one can afford it, since this is in fulfillment of “Hisna’eh B’mitzvos,” to make a mitzva in a beautiful way, that we derive from the passuk of “Zeh Kaylee V’anvahu.”
(My father Zt”l had the tradition to actually use a real gold becher. He was praised by many of the Rebbes who visited us. Some mentioned that Kabbalistically and traditionally gold is a symbol of Gevuros, and a cup is the Gematria of Elokim which is also Gevuros.
(Lehoros Nasan 4:25; Igros Kodesh 24:225 mentions that the Nishei Chabad gave the Rebbe a gold Becher as a present).

#5850 The Watery Wine Way
|
|
|
Q. Kvod Rabi Shlit”a.
My father you well know, is organizing a very large Pesach Seder for our large family together. I have a number of questions that if permitted would make the Seder easier to prepare.
1) Since we need a large amount of wine for the four cups of our large group. How much can one dilute the wine with water and still comply?
A. Regarding dilution of wine with water, Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 204: 5) rules that one must assess each wine based on the common practice of each location for how much is commonly added.
The Mechaber (ibid.) rules that our wines today are not considered strong. It therefore is reasonable that since the wines which we drink today are never diluted with water, and are nevertheless not strong, one should add only a minimal amount of water.
This is permitted when it does not change the taste of the wine; one should not add an amount of water to the wine or grape juice that will alter recognizably their taste. (Madanei Shlomo (pg. 52) quotes in the name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt"l).
Some have a minhag to constantly add a few drops of water to their Kiddush wine which is permitted based on the above.

#5849 The Pesach Pet Project
|
|

- Q. Kvod Harav.
I have a few pets in my house that usually need grain food. Can I feed my pets with Kitniyot (grains)? Should one sell his pet animal that can only eat kitniyos and feed it also food that one sold to a Gentile?
A. The preferred and desirable way to take care of your pets that need that kind of food is to find or create a replacement nutrient that is permitted, which is common in our days, when done in time to order it or prepare it.
You may also ask a Gentile friend or neighbor to take care of your pet.

#5848 – Really No Drinking! How Long?
|
|
|
Q. Just One more question Rov.
How long is the time of the prohibition for those who believe on it?
A. On question 4060 the Rov mentioned that one has to avoid drinking water during the beginning of the Tekufa only for one hour. Yet, I’m aware that for those who keep that tradition, the prohibition stays on even after. What is correct?
Poskim mention that for those who keep the tradition of not drinking water during the hour of the beginning of the Tekufa, as mentioned above, once the water collected then, it maintains its restrictions even after that time and when used or mixed with other edibles, the ones that keep this tradition should abstain from consuming them.

#5847 – Sink The Drink?
|
|
|
Q. . Dear Rabbi Shlit’a.
I heard that tomorrow morning (Friday the 20th of March 2026, at 10.45 AM), is the beginning of the Tekufah of Nisan, the equinox known as the beginning of Spring. I heard that one should not drink any water then. Is that correct? Why?
A. On question 4061 we wrote: As we know there are four seasons of the year recognized by our Talmudical Sages and named Tekufos. According to Rav Shmuel, each tekufah marks the beginning of a period of 91 days 7½ hours. The first of the four tekufos is Tekufas Nisan, known as the vernal equinox, (when the sun enters the Aries constellation); this is the beginning of spring, when day and night are equal.
The reason behind this custom is because there is a drop of blood that falls into the water between the Tekufos. [Darkei Moshe 455 in name of Abudarham Shaar Hatekufos] The Abudarham explains as flows: When the season of Nissan [i.e. spring] begins there is dangerous blood in the water which results from the water of the Nile which turned into blood.
It applies only at the four beginning of the Tekufos every year as mentioned above. Rema in Shulchan Aruch (Y.D. 116: 5) quoting Avudraham, Mordechai and others, mentions the above as a most accepted tradition one should comply with.
Yet, the practice of not drinking water when the Tekufa begins, is not that commonly kept. Taz (ibid. 4) quotes Even Ezra that it is only a Nichush or superstitious custom. As mentioned on the answer above, it is only four times a year for one hour.
Usually those four beginnings are quoted in the Shul calendars. The beginning of the Tekufos also makes a difference in regard to changes on the Tefilos when we pray for rain.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should keep the traditions of his family.

#5846 - Q. Waste or Wasted Information?
|
|
|
- Q. Dear Rov Shlit’a
I just happened to see a message on Frum Toronto about the special collection of waste for the residents of Vaughan, and that in order to help the Jewish Community prepare for Passover they will provide special Passover Waste Beans and place them at The Garnet A. Williams Community Centre.
They add that the service will be until April 1 at 3.00 PM.
I just wonder since the Chametz will still be in the containers at a Community Centre, on Erev Pesach after the prohibited time. Is that correct and permitted?
A. Iy’H B”n I will consult with other Rabbis and with Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a and get back to you.

#5845 – A St. Patrick’s Shacharis Kiddush?
|
|
|
- Q. Querido Rabino.
My kids want to go downtown with our not yet Frum neighbors to just watch the St. Patrick’s day parade, is that permitted?
A. On question 4166 regarding what is one permitted to do on Thanksgiving day we wrote:
“I attend a daily minyan, that as others do, offers an after Shacharit Kiddush with a drink and mezonot. The attendants before drinking a small cup of liquor, as tradition goes wish each other ‘Lechaim’, Mazal Tov, or if it is a Yohrzait, ‘The Neshama should have an Aliya’.
On St. Patrick’s day, most likely still deep in the Purim ‘spirit’ as usual, the friendly attendant offers every year a green full bottle of Irish (kosher) liquor, and with a very comical smile, pours a drink to all and wishes a ‘ Freilechen, (happy) St. Patrick’s day’. We all understand that it is only a humorous act, but is it permitted in a shul? I do not want to insult him by refusing the drink or the Lechaim. What is the proper thing to do?”
To what we answered:
“Saint Patrick’s Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador (for provincial government employees), and the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated in the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, Argentina, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. From the present day literature explaining the meaning of the day, it seems that in most or the many places mentioned it is not anymore a religious commemoration but a cultural and national identity day.
However, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is, that since it still has a strong religious identity in Catholic communities and special services are offered on the day for many, to avoid insulting the fellow who brought the bottle in “good spirit”, one should answer warmly: “Lechaim to all the Tzadikim, Kedoishim and survivors from this and other similar “Holy days,” Lechaim Tovim Ulesholom.”

#5844 - Motzo Matza

Ask Vayikra 86 -
Q. Dear Rabbi Shlit’a.
Can I eat a “matzebray” made from regular machine square matzos fried with eggs, now less that thirty days before Pesach? It is very important for me and my siblings, since that is our common breakfast meal. Besides, we only eat hand Shemura matzos during the whole Pesach?
A. on a similar question
Q. Our minhag is not to eat matzos thirty days before Pesach. Since I only eat shemura matzos during Pesach, can I eat now regular machine matzos. Can I eat gebrocht matzos in soup or matzebrai, since we don’t eat gebrochts on Pesach?
A. Rema (O.H. 471: 2) rules that on Erev Pesach it is prohibited to eat matzos that can be used for the seder. Mishna Berura (ibid. 12) adds that some accustom not to eat matzo from Rosh Chodesh Nissan.
Mishnas Yaakov (3: 471), Kitzur Hilchos Pesach, Nitei Gavriel (1: 2: 10) and others maintain that the minhag is thirty days before Pesach. Igrois Moshe (O.H. 1: 155) explains that this is the time we begin the preparations for Pesach.
However, as mentioned the prohibition applies only to the matzo that one can consume at the seder night.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if the eating of matzo is necessary for diet purposes, one can put the well marked matzo in contact with bread and thus make it inedible for Pesach. Then he may consume it even after Rosh Chodesh until Erev Pesach. when it would be prohibited. The same may apply to gebrochts.
