# 3858 Helping Ends Meet
|
|
|
Q. An aging couple that is undergoing a severe monetary crisis due to uncovered medical expenses that have caused them to have to borrow a large amount of money. The have considered asking the established Chesed institutions in town to help them, but they have declined since they own a valuable house.
Can they themselves or a group of friends help them raise the Tzedaka funds? The do not have any children.
A. The Tzedaka institutions have a valid point since they can raise the money needed in something similar to a reverse mortgage, that could be given by a friendly and helping real estate and properties owner, that may give them a significant sum yearly sum in an arrangement that lets them keep until the end of their lives the house, that would then be transferred to the investor.
Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is similar

# 3857 So Many Simchas!
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rov. As we spoke on the phone my wife is expecting a baby girl (ultrasound test). My recently departed father's zt'l name was Simcha and I would very much like to give that name to the daughter to be born soon. Is that permitted or recommended?
A. On question 1644 regarding a Baal Teshuva whose father although Jewish was never given a Jewish name, – how should the baal teshuva be called up to the Torah, we wrote: "Horav Shlomo Millers Shlit’a suggested he should use his grandfathers name. A few names are similar to men and women, such as Simcha or Chone, if it applies he could use his mother’s name."
Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a related a similar case where the father was advised by a Gadol to have trust in Hashem that his next child would be a boy and so it happened.
Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is similar.

# 3856 Yes Parking?
|
|
|
Q. See question above. Is one allowed to use the parking lot of the mosque, while services (in the middle of the day) are held?
A. While mosque services are being held, entering the temple's parking lot should be avoided, since it may seem to a bystander that one is using the parking lot in order to pray at the mosque.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s opinion Shlit’a is that one should look for nearby parking.

# 3855 Contested Entry
|
|
|
Q. See question above. Regarding Islam, however, most Poskim follow the opinion of the Rambam (Hilchos Ma’achalos Assuros 11: 7) that it is not considered Avodah Zarah (Shulchan Aruch Y. D. 124: 6, Taz 4 and Shach 12. See also Ben Ish Chai, Parashas Balak) Therefore, they do not expressly forbid entering a mosque. (Avnei Yashfei 1: 153 quotes HoRav Y.S. Elyashiv Zt'l as ruling that it is not prohibited to enter a mosque.)
Other more contemporary Poskim prohibit entering a mosque as well (Tzitz Eliezer 14: 91; 18: 47). See also Meiri, Avodah Zarah 57a, who quotes Chachmei Sefarad as ruling that Islam is Avodah Zarah.
All Poskim agree that unless there is a compelling reason to do so, one should not enter.
See question 1182 in regard to davening in a multi faith room at an airport, we wrote: "Beis Avi (4: 31), Shevet Hakehosi (6: 83), Menuchas Emes (3: 6: n.24) rule not to pray in a multi-faith space, so is it amply quoted in the name of Rabbi J. B. Soloveitchic zt’l. (See also Remoh O.H. 94: 9, on davening in a non-Jewish hotel).
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar, he suggests to daven outside of the non-denominational room.
Care should be taken as an array of diverse faith symbols may be exposed at the entrance of the room."

# 3854 Do Not Enter?
|
|
|
Q. Some necessary medical services are offered in a hall that is part of a Muslim temple. Is one allowed to go there?
A. In question 126 regarding if an alcoholic is permitted to enter a church (even possibly the main sanctuary) to attend an AA meeting, we wrote: "It is forbidden to enter a house of Avodah Zarah or a church. (Y.D. 150,1- 157,3 – Shach ibid. 149,1.) R' Moshe Feinstein Zt”l (Igros Moshe O.C. 4,40,26) prohibits students playing ball in a sports hall that belongs to a church, even if no religious images are present. (See Rivavos Ephraim 3, 302,3)
However Poskim do permit voting in a locale adjoining or connected to a church, which specifically set up a venue for that purpose and it is marked or is known to be so. This sanction is only ex post facto, when no other voting location was made available or is found close by. (Teshuvos Vehanchogos 2,410).
Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a permits using the A.A. church venue, if the meetings are not held in the sanctuary, and it is clearly identified or known as a setting for social or community activities.

# 3853 Great Blessed Taste?
|
|
|
Q. When a person sucks on pretzels to enjoy the salty taste but doesn’t actually swallow should he make a Bracha.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that only if salt crystals or grains are ingested and swallowed, a brocho (Shehakol) should be recited. If not one should preferably eat a bit of the pretzel and recite Mezonos.

# 3852 No Room for Suspicions
|
|
|
Q. I am staying in a yeshiva dorm during the Bein Hazmanim and the Goy that cleans, on two occasions, brought a Shiksa into the dorm when I was the only bachur there. (I don't know if she is related to him.) When this happens, what should I do? May I enter briefly if necessary to retrieve something and let the door close behind me, or rather put a trash can and make the door to the street stay open? May I take a nap while the shiksa is in the dorm?
A. Let the outside door open so anyone can come in. Better, ask someone to check on you if possible.
As mentioned many times, a recording security camera that can be seen is an antidote in most cases for Yichud prohibitions. See question 3115 - 2809 for similar rulings.

# 3851 An Unplacenta Question
|
|
|
Q. Thanks for your answer. Here is another question:
I wanted to have a home birth with a midwife until she told me that the practice suggests putting the afterbirth in the freezer until burial. This seemed disgusting to me so I decided to go to the hospital. However, I was wondering what is the halacha regarding this matter since it contains blood and other tissues. I was talking to a friend and she told me that some goyim eat it or turn it into vitamin pills since it supposedly had curative properties. Once again, I found this unappetizing to say the least and somehow suspect that it is against Halacha. Please let know.
Kol tuv.
A. Although some Poskim maintain that the 'Shilya' or afterbirth should be buried, (Sdei Chemed - Kuf 37, quotes Nechmad Lemareh, following Talmud Yerushalmi - Shabbos 18: 3). Most Poskim do not require burial and the afterbirth can be just discarded. (Tzitz Eliezer 10: 55, Shivtei Yisroael 2: 29: 15, Gesher Hachayim 1: 16 and others). It is not customary to do burial in our days, however, there are diverse minhagim.
Regarding your second issue, in question 1491 we received the following: "There is an ancient (non-Jewish) tradition which has become popular among new moms, placenta ingestion. Moms report that they have less post postpartum depression, increased energy and milk production. Is a human placenta kosher, what about the placenta of kosher animals?
To what we answered: Placentophagia or the act of mammals eating the placenta of their young after childbirth, when done by humans, besides kashrus concerns, also presents health issues, as it could become easily contaminated by the lack of refrigeration and septic concerns. (See; Risks of eating the placenta at parents.com). The benefits are also questionable. (See; Should I eat my placenta, at webmd.com).
In regards to the kashrus of the afterbirth or shilya, if it was delivered by a kosher live animal that gave birth, it would be prohibited as being; yotze min hachai or a derivative from a live animal . (Chulin 77a, Rambam – Macholos Asuros 5: 13, Kaf Hachaim Y.D. 81 34). If the animal underwent proper shechita and the placenta was found inside, it would be permitted.
In regards to a human placenta, Rema (Y.D. 79: 1) rules like Rambam that, “It is Biblically forbidden to eat human flesh.” Although many Poskim adopt Rema's strict ruling, some others maintain that the matter is unresolved or even rule like the Rishonim who are Biblically lenient, but still Rabbinically prohibited (see Taz YD 79:3, Pri Hadash 79:6, and Darkei Teshuvah 79:15).
Therefore, Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is to avoid human placentophalagia.
(Interestingly, the Torah mentions placentophalagia as part of the curses of the tochacha. Devarim 28: 57)."

# 3850 Pardon my Selicha?
|
|
|
Q. See question above: Still, why is Selichot different than the Tefilos during the rest of the year?
A. Binyan Shlomo (Hacohen 36) further explains that there is a difference between mitzvos that apply to an individual and they are not part or represent the Avoda, we indeed tell him "Hamaschil Bemitzva Omrim Lo Gemor, “If one starts to perform a Mitzvah, we say to him, ‘carry it out to the end.’ However, mitzvos that are carried out by many together, as Tefila is, should be given to the many.
Selichos, he adds, is different, because it may be difficult to find someone who is willing to recite them, as they are unusual, so compensation was instituted. He further debates if the above applies only to the one that accepted to lead the Selichos during the whole period.

# 3849 Finish What you Started
|
|
|
Q. Why is it that when there is no Avel leading the services we often have different people doing it. We change the Baal Tefila for Barchu etc. Why don't we say since one is already davening let him continue and finish?
A. Remah (O.H. 581: 1) mentions that in some places the one that recited Selichos during the Elul days, continues to lead the rest of the Tefilos during that day. Kol Bo (65) quotes that is is due to the principle of "Hamaschil Bemitzva Omrim Lo Gemor, “If one starts to perform a Mitzvah, we say to him, ‘carry it out to the end’ (Midrash Tanchuma Eikev, Yerushalmi Pesochim 10: 5).
Indeed, Nezirus Shimshon (O.H. ibid.) questions why is that not the common minhag during the rest of the year and the Tefila is divided by others.
Binyan Shlomo (Hacohen 36) explains that since the Tefilos stand in place of the Korbanos, we follow the traditions of the Beis Hamikdash where everyone sacrificed his own Korban. In that case, the many contributing their numerous sacrifices, takes precedence and we follow the principle of "Berov Am Hadrass Melech" or the honor of the King is when many take part.

# 3848 Clear the Mud

Q. Dear Rabbi if my glasses fell on the mud while in the cottage and the mud became dry can they be washed on Shabbos? Does the same apply to a window?
A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintains that the glasses are not different than dishes and if needed for Shabbos they can be washed. The same would apply to the glass of a window if it is needed clean during Shabbos.

# 3846 See the Phone?
|
|
|
Q. Hello Rov. in question 3841regarding a small screen that constantly shows what is happening at the Kotel Hamaaravi via a live camera available online as a Zecher Lechurban. You ruled that it should be turned off during Shabbat. I wonder, if someone left his cell phone on during Shabbat and it rings when a message comes in, can one read that message without touching the phone?
A. On question 3483 regarding if one is allowed to program his cell phone to vibrate or turn on its light for a short time in order to wake him up on Shabbat morning, we wrote: "Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if the cell phone is not placed next to him and there is no likelihood that he may without thinking turn it off before he becomes wide awake, it is permitted. However, The Rov recommended to acquire the kosher Shabbos alarm clock.
On question 1523 regarding using an Apple 3 watch on Shabbos that has internet and phone connectivity, when those features are turned off and only the time and temperature shows, we wrote: "Although YalkutYosef (4: 51, p. 213) Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchoso and others (see above question) permit the use of computerized watches, they refer to the basic models of yesteryear, not the complex ones available today.
Horav Shlomo Mille's Shlit'a opinion is that one should avoid using them, even when all features are off and the buttons taped. The reason being that they more resemble and are used as a digital phone or mini tablet, than as just a permissible time piece."
By the same reason one should avoid reading the messages that appear on a cell phone left on during Shabbos.

# 3845 A New Kind of Hoisafah?
|
|
|
Q. Last Shabbos due to the fact that many of our attendants to shul are on vacation, the temporary Gabay mistakenly called for Hagba'ah and Gelilah (raising and dressing the Sefer Torah, done at the end of the reading) before the one called for the reading of Maftir had the opportunity to actually read the Torah.
Obviously, the Sefer Torah had to be placed again on the Bimah, untied and uncovered to have the Maftir portion,read again. Then Hagba'ah and Gelilah had to be repeated. In this most unusual case do the same people who erroneously performed the first lifting also have to repeat and do the second or can others be honored now?
A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintains that others can be called for the second Hagba'ah and Gelilah.

# 3844 Cook the Bug?
|
|
|
Q. See question above. Does the fact that the corn on the cub was very well cooked at least remove the Biblical prohibition of eating a worm, since it probably got decomposed, mushed or shrunk? If that is correct, then the Safek or doubt if there are any bugs should be permitted, since it is now only a Rabbinic prohibition.
A. Horav Yaakov Hirschman Shlit'a and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintain that the fact that there were basic physical changes done to the insect's body by cooking it, does not alter the fact that is still is a prohibited item. This is similar to cooked non kosher meat etc.

# 3843 Bug Off
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rabbi I heard that one should abstain from eating fresh corn on the cob in our days, because of the impending number of insect contamination. Is that true?
A. Small thrips (white/yellowish) and aphids can sometimes be found on the husk and can infest the kernels and hide underneath. See COR website on Information Regarding Corn on the Cob, July 6, 2012 and the procedure that should be followed.

# 3842 Let the Happy Times Begin
|
|
|
Q. Thanks Rov for answering last question so promptly. Someone was offered by his physician to have a leadless pacemaker installed on the week after Tisha Beav but before Tu Beav. The procedure is not urgent, should he preferable wait until the end of the month of Av or at least until after Tu Beav, when the Mazal is more propitious?
A. On question 1801 we were asked the following: The Mishna Berura (551,1), says that “Mishenichnas Av Memaatin Besimcha” (When the month of Av begins we should reduce joy), applies until Rosh Chodesh Elul. Does that mean that one should continue with feelings of sadness and sorrow for the Churban during the whole month of Av?
To what we answered: Actually, the Mishna Berura (ibid.) mentions the whole month of Av in regards to avoiding a court case with a Gentile during the month of Av, because the month is not of good mazal. Even on that he quotes the Korban Nessanel, that one should abstain only at least after Tisha Beav.
Kaf Hachaim (ibid. 1), Aruch Hashulchan (ibid. 11) and others maintain that the tenth of Av is also included.
However, other Poskim are of the opinion that one should abstain until after Shabbos Nachamu, and from then one may attend weddings (Mincha Elozor 3: 66) or until after Tu Beav, whichever is first (Hisorerus Hateshuva 2: 171).
Others mention only Tu Beav as the limit of restrictive joy. (Hagoos Chasam Sofer, gilyon O.H. ibid., Yafe Lalev quoted by Kaf Hachaim ibid.).
On question 1406 in regards to postponing a necessary medical surgery on the third week of the month, we wrote “Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 551: 1) rules that from the beginning of the month of Av one should minimize joy. He adds that it is a month when the mazal is inferior and unfortunate (reiya mazleh), and one should avoid going to trial on this month. Beir Heitev (ibid 2) explains that from the Talmud (Taanis 29a) it would seem that it applies to the complete month. Mishna Berura (ibid. 2) quotes from the Zohar that at least one should abstain until after Tisha Beav.
Kedushas Levi mentions that the month Av is divided into two distinct sections. Part one belongs to Arur (accursed, implied by the alef of Av) and part B stands for baruch (blessed, inferred on the beis of Av), and this lat one contains good mazal.
Chasam Sofer (Droshos 2: p. 331) maintains that a new month begins with Tisha Beav and is named Menachem. Tisha Beav is day one of that new month (See Yerushalmi Taanis 4: 5, and Yechezkel 26: 1; It came to pass in the eleventh year on the first of the month, that the word of Hashem came to me).
However, Machazik Brocho (Chida 551) and other follow the Beir Heitev’s opinion that the “reiya mazleh” extends for the complete month.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that in need a person can be lenient after Assara Beav. (Tenth of Av).”
Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintains that it can be done immediately after Tisha Beav.

# 3841 Framing the Picture Frame
|
|
|
Q. Dear Rov Shlit'a. Is it correct to place as a Zecher Lechurban (remainder to the destruction of the Bet Hamikdash) in our family room a small screen that constantly shows what is happening at the Kotel Hamaaravi via a live camera available online, since it gathers the attention of all. Is that advisable?
Can it be left on also on Shabbat?
A. Horav Yaakov Hirschman's Shlit'a and Horav Aharon Miller's Shlit'a opinion was that it is proper to do for those who use that type of communication.
You may add a frame to the screen that contains written words of remembrance of the Churban
Regarding living it on during Shabbos on question 1791 addressed the following question: "We have in our family room a very large screen that serves as a virtual picture frame. It changes according to the times we program it, into different scenes, images and pictures of nature that we greatly enjoy. We also display family photos, portraits etc. Can you during the nine days, change the images into new ones?
I once asked my local Rabbi about it staying on during Shabbat and he permitted it, if the controls are covered and inaccessible. Does HoRav Shlomo Miller agree?"
To what we answered: "Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that since the new picture displayed is only virtual and not real, it is not prohibited. However, to maintain and uphold the spirit of sobriety and sorrow that permeates and pervades during this period, it should better be left until after Tisha Beav.
The Rov also permits leaving on during Shabbos the picture displayed on the screen, if it does not change and stays the same during the complete Shabbos. He also maintains that the controls should be covered and inaccessible."
In our case, since it is a live camera. Horav Yaakov Hirschman's Shlit'a and Horav Aharon Miller's Shlit'a opinion are that it should not be left on, during Shabbos.

# 3840 Indicate how to Meet your Mate
|
|
|
Q. We have a minhag that we do a Seuda Leiluy Nishmas Reb Yonasan Ben Uziel together with other families of friends on Tu Bav since Seforim say that it is a Segula for finding the right Shiduchim for our children. This year since Tu Beav is Erev Shabbos, can the Seuda be done on Friday night?
A. Indeed as the Talmud (end of Taanis) mentions, one of the reasons why Tu B'av was considered one of the two greatest Yomim Tovim in our tradition is due to the fact that Shiduchim were obtained on that day
There is a minhag for some to make a Seuda during Tu Beav (Karlin Beis Aharon and others. See Nitei Gavriel 98: 7, and question above).
The Arizal also writes that Tu B’Av is a Segula day of to merit finding a Shiduch. Many also visit the Kever of the Tanna Reb Yonasan Ben Uziel in Amuka and daven for finding soon the correct mate.
It stands to reason since you have to prepare for the Shabbos Seuda on Friday, it is also considered a Tu B'av Seuda.
Horav Yaakov Hirschman's Shlit'a and Horav Aharon Miller's Shlit'a opinion is similar.
