# 3903 Choosing the Rosh Hashana Best
- Q. Dear Rabbi; I have an option of davening in a shul where they have an excellent Baal Tokea, (Blower of the Shofar) that follows all the dikdukim, halachos and kavanot (Halacha details and intentions) of the mitzva of Shofar.

I also have an alternative option to daven in a minyan where the Baalei Tefila are superior and posses beautifully emotional and inspiring voices. The davening itself of the mispaleleim attending that they lead is very moving and emotive. However, the Baal Tokea is a bit deficient and often he has to blow a few times until he gets it right. Which minyan does Horav Miller recommend and why?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that it is better to attend the shul where the davening is very moving and emotive and is recited with lots of Kavana. The Rov added that after all, many Gedolim mention that a major reason for the blowing of the Shofar is to awaken us to daven to Hashem during judgment day and do proper Teshuva. That seems to be accomplished better on the second shul.

# 3902 A Real Sound Problem
Q. As we spoke by phone, I blow the Shofar for a large group of members of a retirement home that tries to serve the religious needs of a mixed group where only about 20% are orthodox. In the floors where the patients are bed bound and they don't attend the different services given in assembly rooms, Since they don't want to disturb unnecessarily most patients, they permit only one blowing and it is done using a microphone that can be heard in all rooms.

Obviously, the orthodox patients, will ask the nurses not to turn on the sound in their rooms and mostly they can hear the sound of the mouth blown shofar in their rooms. However, that sound is mixed with the loudspeakers resonance. Since if I don't blow a non-orthodox rabbi will take over, is it permitted for me to blow?

Although, I don't intend or need the microphone sound system, yet some of the voice is anyway absorbed and repeated in the rooms that have their volume on, is that mixture of two types of shofar sound permitted? Can I follow the above, when I don't want and need that microphone sound? One has to take into account that this is the only possibility that the directive of the home will permit, and all those patients will miss this great mitzva. What does the Rov recommend?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that using the sounds emitted by the microphone system should be avoided even when mixed with a direct Shofar voice. Besides, even when not intended, the use of a microphone un Yom Tov should be prohibited.

The Rov agrees that the only likely viable solution in such a setting to avoid disturbing others, is to blow the Shofar to the individuals that require it, when they are either secluded in a small closed room or closet or even covered by a blanket. Additional help may be needed to help numerous people.

# 3901 Late Disposal of Sins?
Q. Due to the length of the davening during Rosh Hashana, the time needed for a seuda with family and guest and the long walk to the water source, is it possible to recite Tashlich immediately after Musaf or even better at night after the seuda?

A. Mishna Berura (583: 8) mentions that one should recite Tashlich after Mincha before sunset. However, Mate Ephraim (598: 7) opines that it can be said before Mincha and even at night. (See Kovetz Halochos 20: 9).

Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is similar.

# 3900 Go With the Crowd?
Q. When someone is blowing Shofar for a patient at a retirement home, is it preferable to gather a minyan for this mitzva?

A. Although in general it is better to perform a mitzva 'Berov Am' or with a significant group of participants, there is no essential need for having a minyan present for Tekias Shofar. (Nitei Gavriel 1: 45: 7). However, Mikroei Kodesh (p. 59) quotes the Meiri's opinion that it is indeed preferable.

# 3899 Let's Get a Real Sharp Mind!
Q. Dear Rabbi. Can people who much enjoy eating jalapeno (chili) peppers, can they add them to the list of fruits and vegetables one eats on Rosh Hashana and says a Yehi Ratzon on them? I this case it may be appropriate to bless us with having a Shana Tova, full with sharpness in learning Torah. Is that correct?

A. Nitei Gavriel (1: 29: 7) mentions that indeed one may add other Simonim to awaken the Kavanah and intention to recite a Tefila and bracha that is meaningful on Rosh Hashana.

Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that it can be done.

# 3898 Hazoom Es Hakol?
Q. Can a patient in the hospital during Selichot, zoom a minyan and repeat with them the Thirteen Midot usually said only with a Minyan present?

A. Usually, any Zoom contact does not contribute to mitzvos that require a minyan. On question 2845 regarding saying Tashlich during the Aseres Yemei Teshuva via zoom we wrote:

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should not. The reason is that reciting Tashlich next to a body of flowing water is similar to other mitzvos, where the presence of the article, place or situation that brings about a blessing or Tefila, has to be real.

After all one recites a brocho only on real lightning or thunder, kiddush levana only on actually seeing the moon and not a picture or reflection or listening to the Megila and answering Kedusha or Kaddish only when the voices are real and present."

# 3897 Strange Sounds
Q. I have recently heard a Baal Tokea before blowing the Shofar during Elul, blow air into the Shofar without making a sound, (I have seen something similar some years ago). Is that necessary or even recommended?

A. Poskim don't mention such a minhag, but if the Baal Tokea feels his Shofar may needs the blowing for cleaning, it can be done before the public compliance of the mitzva. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that it should be avoided, since it may be considered as an added voice of the Shofar.

# 3896 Not Over One's Head
Q. Since one is to blow the Shofar when the wide opening is facing up, if in a particular case it faces sideways, does the Baal Tokea have to incline his head to comply with the above.

A. Indeed Poskim mention that the wide opening of the Shofar should be facing up, (Shulchan Aruch O.H, 585: 2, Mishna Berura 9). However, when it isn't, Horav Dovid Pam Shlit'a and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintain that the Baal Tokea does not have to incline his head for it.

Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is similar

# 3895 Doing Too Much?
Q. Kvod Harav, I heard that there may be an issue when davening Maariv before the Z'man (night) since one has to repeat the Shema after it becomes proper night, one may transgress the prohibition of Baal Tosif or adding to the mitzvos?

A. Regarding counting repeatedly the Omer and repeating other mitzvos we wrote on question 3109 the following:

"Minchas Yitzchok (6: 45) quoting several great Chassidic authorities, relates that these Tzadikim would mention many times every day, the omer number of that day. Thus giving a different perspective to the meaning of “Temimos” or complete days. Moadim Uzemanim (7: 230) debates whether Hagr'a would maintain that you comply with the mitzva every time the count is repeated, as he maintains on eating a repetitive Kezais of matza during the days of Pesach.

Poskim maintain that there i's usually no prohibition of Ba'al Tosif when repeating a mitzva several times. Tosafos Rosh Hashana 16b in reference to blowing additional times the shofar on Rosh Hashana or holding the Lulav several times a day in Sukos. Turei Even disagrees (ibid.)

However, Igrois Moshe (O.H. 2: 60) debates if there is a prohibition of Ba'al Tosif when davening Maariv before the z'man, if one recites the shema too early with the intent to fulfill the mitzva. He therefore stresses one should have intent not to fulfill the mitzva at that time. He also argues that Shema is essentially a part of Torah learning and there's no prohibition to learn Torah multiple times.
(See Chavos Daas – Beis Hasofek, Safek Safeka: 20, opines, that repeating Shema twice, even within the obligated time is prohibited).

Horav Dovid Pam Shlit'a maintains that one should have in mind a conditional intention, that whichever reading of the Shema is correct, it should be considered as the mitzva. This applies only when one of the readings may not be on the correct time for reading the Shema and then one may violate the Baal Tosif prohibition.

Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that that it is not necessary as the accepted opinion is not to be concerned with multiple repetitions of Shema.

The common minhag is that people repeat the Shema several times in the day, such as by Korbonos, before going to sleep or when donning Rabenu Tam Tefilin etc.

# 3894 Let's Give Him a Hand
Q. Can someone who has an artificial hand blow Shofar on Rosh Hashana holding on to the Shofar with that hand.

A. On question 2928 regarding the use of a prosthetic electronic arm hand on Shabbos we wrote:
“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.

On question 2929 regarding if one can wear and carry that electrically disconnected arm or hand in the street, on Shabbat when there is no eruv, we wrote: "Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that if it was disconnected and is properly attached so it wont fall off and indeed it makes the carrier look normal, it is permitted."

Therefore, it would be permitted to blow Shofar holding it with that hand.

As a mater of fact, Horav Dovid Pam Shlit'a and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintain that in needed someone else can hold the Shofar for him, since as opposed to a Lulav there is no mitzva to hold the Shofar.

# 3893 Free Night Delivery
Q. My Dear Rov Shlit'a. As you well know I'm trying to be the very best Baal Tokea possible in all ways. I would like to know if I can bring the Shofar to shul on the first night Rosh Hashana after the Shekia (I daven Mincha early). I heard that some hold that the Shofar is Muktza in the night when you don't blow. Is that correct?

A. Although, Kovetz Halochos (10: 11) indeed debates the issue of a Muktze prohibition on a Shofar in the night, most Poskim disagree and as Horav Dovid Pam Shlit'a and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintain, the common minhag is that there is no prohibition involved and you may carry the Shofar at night.

# 3892 In Heaven's Name
Q. Kevod Horav. Is it correct that on Rosh Hashana night meal, when we eat the special symbolic foods and recite the customary 'Yehi Ratzons', if one has the minhag to say them with Hashem's name, can one have his very young children also repeat them with His Holy Name?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that as they are permitted to recite the brocho itself with Hashem's name, so they are permitted to say the Yehi Ratzons too.

# 3891 Don't Blow it!
Q. Dear Rabbi. An aged patient in an old age home, that constantly wear diapers and is most of the time wet. can one blow shofar for him when in such a condition?

A. On question 2835 regarding someone who is in the bathroom and hears the shofar while he is there, is he yotze bediebed (comply after the fact), or does he have to repeat those tekios and if one is even allowed to have Kavana (intention) to be yotze, we wrote:

"Biur Halacha (588: d’h Shoma), debates whether someone standing in an unclean space, such as a bathroom, while listening to the shofar complies with the mitzva or no. He argues that he should since some mitzvos like wearing tzitzis are permitted there and only when words or thoughts of Kedusha are involved one does not. He quotes the Mateh Efraim who maintains that after the fact he complies but on the onset, he should repeat the tekios if possible, but without a brocho. He adds that since we rule that mitzvos require Kavanah or intention to comply, that in itself is similar to Torah learning.

However, Shaarei Tzion (690) maintains that the Kavanah is essential only at the beginning of the mitzva.
See Bekorei Shemo – (Mitzva 14), regarding fixing tzitzis inside an unclean place and Hilchos Ketanos (2: 57) concerning Shechita done inside unclean sites. See also question 445 on observing the six constant mitzvos in unclean situations and questions 2227 and 2593 in regard to what aspects of Torah related educational material can be read in a bathroom.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that Bedieved one complies with the shofar heard while inside a bathroom."

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that our case is similar.

# 3890 Shofar Not So Good
Q. Can one use on Rosh Hashana a Shofar that belongs to a friend without permission these days?

A. On question 2662 we wrote: While blowing with a Shofar without permission from the owner may be questionable even bedieved (after the fact), if not for the concept that the mitzva is listening and not the blowing itself, also we assume that a person is pleased that someone else complies a mitzva with his property. (See Shulchan Aruch O.H. 586: 2, and Mishna Berura 9). Sefer Chasidim (771) rules that one who davens with a siddur that belongs to another without his permission, has to repeat his tefila; however, other Poskim disagree.

In the days when people are afraid of disease contamination one should not use someones Shofar without his permission as he may not comply even after the fact.

# 3887 Patriot's Pray?
Q. Why is it that in our days few Minyanim pray for the peace and welfare of the land we are in, when it was customary to recite such a Tefila on Shabbat in the past?

A. Seforim mention different opinions regarding the Prayer for Shalom Malchus.

It is mentioned by a known Mishna in Pirkei Avos (Ethics of the Fathers 3: 2) "Rabbi Chanina the assistant to the high priests would say Pray for the well-being of the government, for were it not for the fear of its authority, a man would swallow his neighbor alive”

Rashi, Rabenu Bachya and others maintain that one should also pray for the rulers of Gentile governments, as is mentioned in Yermeyahu (29: 7) “And seek the peace of the city where I have exiled you and pray for it to Hashem, for in its peace you shall have peace."

Midrash Lekach Tov (Miketz) on the verse (41: 16) 'And Yosef replied to Pharaoh, saying, "Not I; Hashem will give an answer that will bring peace to Pharaoh," that it is the source for praying for the well-being of the government.

Most Poskim maintain that this Tefila is only a tradition and not an obligation (See Machatzis Hashekel, Aruch Hashulchan 284 and others). However some differ. Michtav Sofer (O.H. 1) quotes Meiri (Avoda Zarah 4a) that it is indeed an obligation. Seder Hayom mentions that it is a mitzva 'Midivrei Kabbala.'

Seder Yaakov (ibid.) explains that from the fact that Rebi did not set this principle in the Mishnayos of Brochos but rather in Pirkei Avos, shows that it is not an obligation but just a tradition.

The Prayer for the Welfare of the State, is still a fixture in many synagogues on Shabbos morning, not just in Britain, but in shuls around the world. Throughout the centuries in the many lands of our exile, synagogues faithfully followed this rabbinic injunction.

Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that as usual every community should follow their established traditions.

# 3886 Cover All Bases
Q. What kind of Schach cover for a Suka is best. Hollow single bamboo poles, Badatz Schach mats, or pine branches?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that pine branches are best, since they are placed following the way they grow on the trees, while the bamboo based Schach are placed perpendicular to the way they grow.

When questioned the Rov mentioned that he uses separate bamboo poles.

# 3885 No Free Ride?
Q. I have been a Baal Tefilah for many years during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur for free. I recently heard that it may be better to be paid something for the service, is that true?

A. There seems to be some contradiction in the Poskim regarding the wages mentioned.

Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 585: 5) writes that one who collects wages for blowing the Shofar or for davening during Shabbos and Yom Tov, will not see any blessing from those payments. As the Mishna Berura points out it is mainly due to the prohibition of collecting wages for work done on Shabbos and Yom Tov.

However Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 53: 22) rules that a Shaliach Tzibur who is payed is better than one who serves voluntarily. Mishna Berura (63) mentions two reasons. One of them is that since he is being rewarded he has more responsibility ans obligation to perform his work properly.

Poskim also point out that it is better to pay for a mitzva that receiving it for free.

Piskei Teshuvos (585: 5) advises to take a small reward, (he may later donate for Tzedaka).

Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that if he has not received any payment until now, he should continue not collecting.

# 3884 The Future is Here
Q. On question 1828 the Rov quoted Baaley Mussar and others who argue that if the Ben Sore Umore is executed on account of what he will do in the future, and if this applies to future wrongdoings it surely should hold true for mitzvos to be done in the future, as long as there is a certainty that they will be so done. The above can make a tremendous difference on the judgment of the Yemei Hadin. The Rov also quoted Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion that even just three days may create such a chazaka.

If I'm starting to give a large Daf Shiur but only after Yom Tov, what can I do to have the above principle apply now to me and really tip the balance in this coming Yom Hadin?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that it is simple, all you have to do is start now preparing the Dafim you will teach in the future.
