# 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.

# 4181 Grab a Bite
|
|
|
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.)

# 4180 Be My Guest
|
|
|
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.

# 4179 Guest of Honor
|
|
|
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.

# 4178 Women Included?
|
|
|
Q. See question above. Would that apply also to the women?
A. Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 472: 14) rules that women are obligated to keep all the mitzvos of the Pesach night. Mishna Berura (44, 45) explains that it includes not only the four cups of wine, matza and maror but also the reciting the Hagada. Although these are mitzvos that have a distinct established time, since they were also saved by the miracles of Pesach, they have to keep them all.
Although all agree that women are obligated in the mitzva of telling the story of the redemption of Mitzrayim, there is a dispute as to whether the mitzva is a Biblical obligation or only a Rabbinic one. Chayei Adam (130: 12) maintains that since this is after all a time based is a mitzva (Mitzva Shehazman Gerama), on a Torah level women are exempt. However, the Chinuch (Mitzvah 21) maintains that the Torah obligation applies to women as well.
HoRav Elyashiv (Kovetz Teshuvos 1:52) explains why the Chinuch does not exempt women from this mitzva of Sipur which is time-based: The exemption of time-based mitzvos for women was first established with the giving of the Torah at Sinai. Therefore, the exemption only applies to mitzvos that were given at Sinai or later. Since the mitzva of telling the story of the redemption of Mitzrayim was given while the nation was still in Mitzrayim, women were included at that time, and it remained for the future also.

# 4177 Please, You Tell Them the Story
|
|
|
Q. Shalom Ubracha Kvod Harav Shlit’a. A dear friend of us, due to L’A an operation on his throat a few weeks ago, for a malignant growth lost his voice. He is very distressed and wants to know if he can comply with the mitzva of telling the Hagada to his large mishpacha by writing it before the Sedarim and then giving copies to his children? Can he name a visiting friend to recite it for them in his name?
A. Indeed Chashukei Chemed (Pesachim 116a) addresses this Shaila and mentions that if one names a Shaliach before Yom Tov in writing, we could say that the “Agent is like himself” and he would comply.
Although, he debates, if the mitzva of telling the story of our salvation from Mitzraim should be considered a “Mitzva Shebegufo” or an action that one has to do personally (like Tefillin) and an agent cannot perform it in one’s name, however, he then compares it to the teaching of Torah to our children, that is often done by others.
Horav
Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that the mizva of ‘Sipur
Yetzias Mitzraim’ (Telling the story of the redemption from Egypt),
applies to the home in which the Seder is carried out, and it could
be said in need by any of the attendants.

# 4176 Not the Brightest Shabbos Clock
|
|
|
Q. I have a digital clock which adjusts its brightness automatically based on the brightness in the room. There is no way to turn this feature off. If the clock is on can I enter the room or open/close the blinds in the room on Shabbos if it will make the clock brighter/dimmer? Is it problematic to have this clock on in the first place on Shabbos?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should indeed not use this type of clock on Shabbos.

# 4175 Must Mention Intention?
|
|
|
Q. On question 4160 and others you mentioned the importance of learning now the Halachot of Pesach. I heard that this is a Mitzva M’deuraita (Biblical Mitzva), can that be true? Does then one have to have special intention for complying with it, as with other Biblical mitzvot?
A. Indeed Horav Shmuel Kamenetzky Shlit’a in Kovetz Halochos (Pesach 1: 1) mentions opinions that it is indeed a Biblical mitzva. Pri Megadim (E.A. 429: 1) quotes Maharsho (Suka 9a), that it is derived from the saying, that Moshe Rabbenu at the first Pesach instructed the nation to keep the second Pesach.
However, from Beis Yosef (429), Lebush, Shulchan Aruch Horav (ibid) and others it is obvious that it is only a Rabbinical enactment.

# 4174 Trial by Fire
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rov. I attended a wedding in which the Rov also officiated. A woman walking down the line after the Bride, tragically got her dress caught in fire by some decorative candles that were placed on the floor on the way to the Chupa. Hatzala was called in, yet the woman was taken to the hospital.
I know that during a wedding ceremony and the feast and dancing afterwards, the Halacha dictates the people who were hurt then cannot claim damages, since people forgive each other in such happy occasions. I’m wondering if the above applies in this case?
Who pays if the insurance does not apply?
A. Rema (C.M. 378: 9) rules that Bachurim (young men) riding on each other while dancing and rejoicing at a wedding and while jumping with joy harmed each other, since it is an accepted tradition to do so, they are exempt of paying for damages. (See similar in Rema O.H. 695: 2, regarding Purim).
However, the Bach (Tesh. 210) maintains that it only applies to small and common damages. Mishna Berura (ibid 13) rules similarly.
Since the case is likely complicated, in such Shailes a proper and accepted Beis Din that will hear all sides and complaints should be engaged, when a settlement cannot be reached.

# 4172 Tend to the Traveling Treasure
|
|
|
Q. A group of family and friends are traveling for Pesach to a settlement of rented houses and we are planing to have a minyan. Since we are traveling with luggage and children, which is the best way to carry a Sefer Torah
A. Piskei Teshuvos (135: 29) rules that when a Sefer Torah is to be transported, it should not be done by using the mail or other delivery services, rather a caring individual, that will carry it himself constantly, honourably and in a proper container should be used.
On note 187 he adds, that if it is in a suitcase or box, it should not be entered as cargo, but taken inside the plane with him and is possible, standing on a nearby seat, and not standing on the ground. He adds. That when in need it may be placed on the overhead compartment, when constantly supervised. The Sefer Torah should always be doubly covered with a Taalis or similar.
When traveling by car or van. Especially if there are small children traveling with, it would be best to place if when properly protected in a overhead secure container on top of the van.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that the box or container of the Sefer Torah, could be placed on the very back of the van, facing the back door, well secured and on top of other items.

# 4171 History in the Making
|
|
|
Q. Shalom Rabbi Bartfeld. As per our phone discussion, I am sending you this email to ask for some guidance on how to find solid evidence that my wife and I have Sephardic Bnei Anusim ancestry. Since we want to convert in an Orthodox manner, we are searching our family history before approaching the Beit Din. Meanwhile, I have been studying with a Rabbi and going to shul on Shabbas.
My wife and I were born in Brazil and migrated to Canada in 2019. We believe in having Jewish ancestry (Both our families have Sephardic Bnei Anusim surnames such as Cardoso, Barboza, Cabral and Carvalho). After we married, my wife's grandmother told us that my wife's great-great-grandmother (Sarah Ferreira) was Jewish. My wife has a straight maternal lineage from her. My case is not clear yet.
Searching for official documents or public databases has been hopeless. So, we need help.
Professionally, I am a cancer biologist working in a Research Associate capacity at the University of Toronto, where my wife is also a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
With blessings.
A. Although, the details given do not provide solid evidence that you or your wife are Jewish in Halacha and most likely a proper Orthodox Beis Din will require a conversion.
However, you should indeed keep track of your ancestry and investigate it further. I have seen from experience when I was the Chief Rabbi of Mexico, how important that can be.
The history of the Jewish immigration from Spain and other countries as well as their persecution by the inquisition of the Crypto Jews is vast. Yet some almost miraculous return of individuals and families to Judaism have happened and their keeping of their history and memories was essential. It also provides an invaluable source of identity to the children.

# 4170 The Proven Oven
|
|
|
Q. On Question 3793 regarding the temperature that a cheres (clay) Matza oven needs to be in order to burn up the left over dough that was not baked before 18 minutes, you wrote:
“Horav Aharon Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that whatever temperature burns properly the left over dough is correct and needed.”
Thank you for the response , But This seems to be incorrect , Please confirm. Thanks.
A. Ovens for backing matzos are usually build individually and there is no degree of heat temperature that will apply to all ovens, so the answer is viable and correct.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.
