# 3818 Wig In?
|
|
|
Q. A woman that has a few shaitels (wigs) she washes every week, can she use a washed shaitel for Shabbos Chazon?
On question 201 regarding if one can wear a freshly washed Sheitel during the nine days, if its not a new wig; we wrote "Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a ruled that you can use a freshly washed and set wig for Shabbos Chazon, even if it coincides with Tisha B’av." Although one is not allowed to wash a Sheitel during the Nine Days, when it is washed frequently, it is considered similar to a washed shirt that one can use for Shabbos during the Nine Days.

# 3817 Draw the Line on the Nine
|

Q. This year (82) Rosh Chodesh Av falls on Friday, can youngsters still go swimming in the lake before Shabbat?
A. If those children are of the age that they understand the meaning and prohibitions of the Nine Days, they should not do them even in this particular year.

# 3816 Clouded Nine?
|
|
|
Q. This year (82) Rosh Chodesh Av falls on Friday and the prohibitions that apply to the Nine Days such as eating meat begin on Thursday night. If one davened Maariv by an early after Plag Minyan (and already said Yaaleh Veyavo mentioning Rosh Chodesh) can one still eat meat before the Shekiah (sunset)?
A. Piskei Teshuvos (551: 8) rules that it is prohibited. He also deals with the prohibition of placing clothing in a washing machine right before the Shekiah.

# 3815 The Greater the Better?
|
|
|
Q. When a great-grandfather contradicts the opinion of a grandfather, who should the grandson listen to? Should one give greater honour to his great-grandfather over his grandfather as when giving an Aliya or similar?
A. On question 817 regarding if a father tells do something that contradicts the will of my grandfather (his father); we wrote: "Rema (Y.D. 240: 24) mentions the opinion of Maharik that one is not obligated to honour his grandfather. However his ruling is that he is, but the honour to a father supersedes the grandfather. Torah Lishma and Teshuva Mehava (1: 178) explain that honouring grandparents is only rabbinical obligation while honouring parents is a biblical commandment.
Chelkas Yaakov (Y.D. 135) rules that if both his father and grandfather are present and demand something from him, he should heed his grandfather, since both he and his father are obligated to honour the grandfather (See also Responsa Rabi Akiva Eiger (1: 68) for a similar opinion. Sheilas Yavetz however (2: 129) disagrees.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”'a opinion is that there are many other variants to this question and additional fact information is necessary in order to establish priority. In some instances there may be no obligation to honor either one, as when it conflicts with mitzvos."
When a great-grandfather contradicts the opinion of a grandfather, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”'a opinion is that there is no preference and one may choose other factors involved.

# 3814 Wisdom on Words
|
|
|
Q. When one receives invitations for weddings or Bar Mitzvas and there are Psukim written on them, which is the correct way to dispose of them? Can they be just be thrown in the garbage?
A. On question 552 regarding articles of Torah in newspapers and magazines; we wrote: "Rambam (Yesodei HaTorah 6:1) notes “One who erases one of Hashem’s holy names transgresses a negative commandment as the verse states regarding idol worship, ‘And you shall eradicate their name from that place; you shall not do so to Hashem your G-d.’ Tur and Shulchan Aruch (Y.D. 276: 9) rule accordingly.
It would seem though that the biblical prohibition applies only to Hashem’s names and not to words of Torah which are only Rabbinically proscribed (Rambam ibid. 6:8, Chinuch 477 and Tashbatz 1: 2, however Magen Avraham 154: 9 disagrees.) There are also diverging opinions as to the status of holy names and words of Torah that were written or printed without the intention of becoming holy at all or to be only temporarily read and then discarded as newspapers are.
Furthermore some Poskim are lenient when the words were printed and not hand written (see Chavas Yoir 164, Chazon Ish 164: 3.) There is an additional leniency regarding newspapers dedicated mainly to non-Torah articles that may not necessarily contain any Torah at all.
When newspapers do include special sections or articles of Torah, Poskim recommend proper g’niza as with common Shemos (Horav Eliashiv Zt”l and Ilcht”a Horav Nissim Karelitz Shlit”a quoted in Ginzei Kodesh 14: 3:6). Other Poskim are lenient on non-dedicated Torah sections or in secular Hebrew or English newspapers when Gentiles carry out the garbage disposal and the newspapers are placed in a separate closed bag (ibid. quoting Horav Pinchas Scheinberg Zt’l and Ilcht”a Horav Shmuel Kamenetzky Shlit”a). Minchas Osher (Reeh 18) mentions a double non-transparent bag.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar. You can dispose of the above unwrapped newspaper material, when placed with clean recyclables, otherwise it should be bagged."
In regard to invitations, Horav Moshe Heinemann Shlit'a (Star K') writes: "When the words of the posuk are merely being quoted in order to make the sentence sound more eloquent and not to convey Torah they are not Shaimos. This type of usage of a posuk is called a melitzah. For example, the sentence “Kol Sason Ve’kol Simcha”, as frequently included in wedding invitations, is a melitzah and is not shaimos"
Taking into account the above, Horav Dovid Pam and Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintain that one may place those invitations, when the P'sukim quoted do not contain Hashem's name, in a double plastic bag and place it in the yard disposables bags that still often may go directly to landfills.

# 3813 Learning when to Swim
|
|
|
Q. Can one who goes to the mikva daily before davening or at least before Shabbos, do so by going for a swim in a lake next to him during the Nine Days? Is there a concern of Ma'aras Ayin. (people watching may think that one is going for a prohibited swim)?
A. Horav Aharon Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that it is permitted only if he goes in and out as necessary, but does not stay for a continued swim.
Since he is going in and out immediately without swimming, there is no concern for Ma'aras Ayin.

# 3812 Planting a Seed of Doubt?
|
|
|
Q. See question above. If one planted seeds for plants that produce flowers before the Nine Days assuming reasonably that by Rosh Chodesh Av the seeds would have already grown roots and the plant plant would have begin to emerge. However, due to a lack of expected rain that didn't happen. Can one water those seeds during the Nine days or just let them rot.
A. As mentioned in the prior question, one should not plant flowers during the Nine Days. However, Poskim rule that one can water existing flower plants to avoid a loss. (Mishna Berura 551: 13).
Horav Aharon Miller and Horav Dovid Pam Shlit'a maintain that the loss of these seeds should also be avoided.

# 3811 Delicate Flowers
|
|
|
Q. I visit weekly a seriously sick patient in hospital. To convey some cheer, I usually bring some flowers. Can that be done during the Nine Days?
A. On question 3266 regarding bringing flowers to a nonreligious grandmother for her birthday during the Nine Days; we wrote: "On question 3260 regarding one that buys flowers for home every Friday Lik’vod (in honor of) Shabbos, if he should also do so for Shabbos Chazon, (Shabbos before Tisha Beav), we wrote:
“As mentioned in a question above, Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 551: 2) rules that from Rosh Chodesh Av until after Tisha Beav one should avoid a ‘Binyan Shel Simcha’ or building a structure dedicated mainly for pleasure and joy, and that includes planting flora and trees dedicated for those purposes.
Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that although it is not exactly the same as planting new flowers, it is still better to avoid even just buying them on Shabbos Chazon.”
However, in this case due to the most important issues involved, Horav Aharon Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that the flowers can be given."
The same should apply in our case.

# 3809 Beware of the Weeks of not Bearing Gifts?
|
|
|
Q. Can one visit a friend on Shabbat during the Nine Days? Can one bring a wine bottle as a present? Can one bring flowers to an ill person?
A. On question 3260 regarding one that buys flowers for home every Friday Lik’vod (in honor of) Shabbos, if he should also do so for Shabbos Chazon, (Shabbos before Tisha Beav), we wrote: “As mentioned in a question above, Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 551: 2) rules that from Rosh Chodesh Av until after Tisha Beav one should avoid a ‘Binyan Shel Simcha’ or building a structure dedicated mainly for pleasure and joy, and that includes planting flora and trees dedicated for those purposes.
Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that although it is not exactly the same as planting new flowers, it is still better to avoid even just buying them on Shabbos Chazon.”
However, when there is a reason like honouring and thanking a host for a Shabbos visit or bringing up the spirits and comforting the ill even in a weekday, it is permitted. (See following question).

# 3808 Elevating Shailah?
|
|
|
Q. I have a question about the use of the elevator during Shabbat and the Chagim according to the Halacha.
I have a daughter with Downs Sindrome whose vision has failed lately.
She is not able to see the steps in the stairs, she fells downstairs every time we have to go up or down.
I am 74 years old, and I have Arthrosis in my back and knees.
We are in need to use the elevator Al Yadei Goy, in order to assist to the Seudot that we are invited in Shabbat be Chagim. Other way we have to stay alone at home.
Looking forward for your answer. Sincerely.
A. On question 1324 we addressed a similar Shaila.
1) An elderly lady who uses a wheel chair is going to be staying at an hotel during Shabbos where the bar mitzva of her grandson is taking place. Can she take the elevator if her caregiver presses the buttons?
The caregiver was instructed before Shabbos to bring her to the hall at a certain time, and then bring her back to her room, she does not have to tell her anything on Shabbos.
2) Can someone else staying in the hotel use the elevator on Shabbos, if there is an attendant that already knows him and to which floor he is going and he does not tell him anything when he goes in?
A. On question 991 we wrote in regards to a Shabbos Elevator; Indeed, it is prohibited to ask even a Gentile to do a prohibited task on Shabbos. However, if the Gentile is going anyway to the same floor, you may ride with him, since he is pressing the button for his own use, not for you, (there may be other issues involved, such as different sensors that you may activate unwittingly; in practice a competent rabbinical authority should be consulted with the particular details on each case.) If a non observant Jewish individual is the one pressing the button, you may not use the elevator with him, as you would be benefiting from prohibited work done on Shabbos.
In regards to your particular shaileh, Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that the caregiver, even if instructed to do so before Shabbos, is still doing the work for a Jewish client on Shabbos. She is performing melochos that she would not be doing unless it is work done for her patient, and therefore prohibited. The same would apply to the second question of an elevator attendant that already knows the elevator rider and to which floor he is going and he does not have to be instructed.
The only way the Rov considers one can be lenient, in case of need or for the compliance of a mitzva, is if you tell the Gentile before Shabbos to push the elevator buttons with a shinui or in a modified way from normal, such as pressing the button with his knuckles, another object or similar.
On question 2937 we wrote"
Q. I read on a pamphlet published by Bikur cholim, that when during Shabbos one visits a patient on a high floor of an hospital, for the needs of the patient, when no other option is available one may ask a non-Jew directly to press the button on the elevator for the desired floor. Is that acceptable?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that if indeed the needs of the patient to be visited are great and a significant relief will be attained by the visit, one may be lenient."
Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu
Shlit'a. maintains that an older person could have a Din of a Choleh
that Amira L'Akum is permitted. You can also pay the
attendant for each time he pushes the buttons.
Based on the above and depending on the urgency of the situation at the particular time, it may be permitted to ask a Gentile to press the elevator button.

# 3807 Going Public on Dirty Linen?
|
|
|
Q. If guest visit during the Nine Days as is common since it is vacation time, can one change the linen of the bed for them with clean washed sheets?
A. Remah (O.H. 551: 3) rules that we follow the opinion that washing and wearing clean washed clothing is prohibited during the Nine Days.
However, Minchas Yitzchok (10: 44) maintains that hotels can change the linen of the beds for new customers. He recommends to leave the fresh linen for about one hour on the floor and also not to request fresh sheets during one's stay at those days. (See Piskei Teshuvos 551: 16).
The same can be followed for guest visiting then.

# 3806 The Greatest Mitzva?
|
|
|
Q. If one has the option to attend a wedding and comply with the very great mitzva of Simchas Chosson Vekalah or visiting a sick person that is being cared by others, but it is a very sad and even disgusting sight, that creates feelings pf pain.
Both are sufficiently being cared for by others. Which then is the mitzva one should attend, the one that brings great joy and Simcha or the Bikur Cholim one that causes sadness and unhappiness?
A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a quoted the Chofetz Chaim Zt'l saying that one should do the mitzva one finds difficult to comply with.
One may add that the correct mitzva to perform is the sad Bikur Cholim, but to do it with the happiness and Simcha of attending the wedding.

# 3805 One for Two?
|
|
|
Q. Can you ask Rav Shlomo Shlit'a if someone was Mekabel (accepts) to say a Perek Tehilim for two people, do they have to say it twice or can they say it once and have kavanah it’s for both.
Thank you!
A. Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller Shlit'a maintain that it depends on the intention of the one who undertook to recite the Tehilim.
See also question 67 regarding reciting Kaddish for several Neshomos at once. We wrote: "Many Poiskim agree that one Kaddish could be said for a number of deceased (Rana'ch 1,77 – Gesher Hachaim 1, 326,7 – Kol Bo p.376, Tzitz Eliezer 7,49, et al.).
However Igrois Moishe (Y.D. 254) and Doivev Meishorim (2,14) at least partially disagree. The fact that no contracts or monetary rewards are involved in this case is also favorable. Igros Moishe (ibid.) advises that at least one Kadish a day should be dedicated to each Niftar.
So too is the opinion of Horav Shloimo Miller Shlit”a. He recommends thinking in advance for whom this Kaddish is to be recited; the rest should be said with the intention for both."

# 3804 A Pearl of Wisdom
|
|
|
Q. If I meet Professor Jordan B. Peterson, do I make a Brocho of SheNosan MeiChochmaso L'vosor Vodom?
A. Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 224: 7) base on Talmud (Brochos 58a) rules that when seeing a brilliant non-Jewish secular scholar one recites the brocho; "Blessed be He who has imparted of His wisdom to His creations.”
Mishna Berura (ibid 7) quotes Pri Megodim, that it refers to the "Seven Wisdoms."
Chida asserts that it means all of them. Therefore Piskei Teshuvos (224:5) writes that the minhag is not to make this Brocho since that is indeed most unusual.
He adds that even following the opinion that it can refer to just a most extraordinary knowledge on one field of wisdom (Birchas Habbais 29: 5), since Poskim maintain that one should recite the Brocho only on Gentiles that keep the Seven Mitzvos of Bnei Noach, it is most unusual to encounter such a case in our times. (Teshuva Meahava 2: 237, Minchas Elozor 5: 7).
Above all, Tzitz Eliezer (14: 37) opines that it has to be one that is accepted by all to be a colossal and truly extraordinary scholar, so recognized by all, and that is most unlikely in our case.

# 3803 Curtain Lecture?
|
|
|
Q. See question above. If one is staying in a hotel or a guest room, where it may be impossible to completely darken the room or it is Shabbat and the light was left on, and a separating Mechitza or curtain can not be placed, what can one do?
A. At night, when there is light in the room, in principle many Poskim forbid to have sexual relations even under the covers (Ra'avad; Smak; Ritva; S. A. 240:11 and EH 25:5; Eliya Rabba; MB 240:39).
However some are lenient (Ḥida, Pesacḥ Einayim on Nidda 17b; Kaf Ha-ḥayim 240:71). Mishna Berura (240; 45) mentions that in a case of need, an ethical individual may indeed be lenient and rely on the darkness provided by a blanket used a cover.

A. Following the Halacha that as a matter of modesty and privacy, marital relations should take place only on a dark room (Shulchan Aruch O.H. 240: 11), Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that if the light is strong enough that permits one can see, the clock should be covered or turned away.

Q. Dear Rabbi, does a responsible doctor have to inform his patient that he is terminally ill and incurable?
A. A doctor should take into account a number of facts before he discloses to the patient or his family his findings. First of all, physicians are only human and sometimes make mistaken diagnoses or prescribe incorrect treatment and end up harming and even killing the patient.
Even when the diagnosis may be correct, doctors still don’t have the last word. The Torah repeats the words, Verapoh, Yerapeh, “And heal, he will heal…” (Ex. 21:19). This “repetition” of the word “heal” teaches that doctors are allowed to heal people. Why would I ever think in that healing is forbidden? Because the Torah also says, “I, Hashem, am your Healer.” (Ex. 15:26) Maybe only Hashen is “your Healer;” maybe healing is from God, and no mortal has the right to interfere in this process? Therefore the Torah has to tell us “he [the doctor] will heal…”
Meforshim explain that Doctors are given the right to heal, but they have no right to despair.
Therefore the terms 'terminally ill' or 'incurable' should not be used. A doctor may say, “We have no known cure for this disease at the present time,” or “This case is beyond my expertise,” or “There’s nothing more we can do now” but the word “incurable” should not be used.

|
|

Q. Kvod Harav, is one allowed to repair during the three weeks wall paper that fell of a wall, by just gluing it back to the wall
.
A. Kovetz Halochos (5: 19) quotes Igros Moshe (O.H. 3: 82) regarding placing new wall paper during the Nine Days.
However, just gluing back existing paper that fell, Poskim permit.(See Nitei Gavriel 29: 3)
