If
you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous
Halachos on this and other topics.
1)
Although a child is not obligated to spend his/her own money in order
to provide for a parent, he/she is obligated to personally do things
that are requested of him/her by the parent [and which will bring
pleasure to the parent] even if by doing so they will lose out on work
and thus need to collect money door to door for their own needs.
(See the commentary of the Mitzpeh Eisan to Kidushin 32a that if the
parent has no pleasure from it and simply wants the child to do
something that will cause them to miss work or just wants the child to
not work that day then there is no obligation for the child to listen)
2)
The above is only true in a situation where the child already has what
to eat for him/herself for that day, and is only losing out wages with
which to purchase food for the next day.
But
if the child does not yet have food for that day, he/she is not
obligated to forgo that in order to do something for their parent.
(Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah Siman 240:5)

Professional Life Coach
training Program in accordance with Halacha.
You can now learn how to
transform your knowledge and experience into a financially-rewarding
career as a professional Life Coach through the Refuah Institute. You
can learn to help others achieve greater success while you earn
parnassah - without leaving your home.
The Refuah Institute, which offers the Certified Coach Diploma
Progam, is a Jewish Orthodox philanthropic organization. Rabbi
Professor Joshua H. Ritchie, M.D., its founder and president, has
dedicated himself to providing education and services that promote health and healing of the body
and soul, and to do so in alignment with Halacha.
The courses are given by
telephone-conferences and video conferences, so a student can easily
participate in the classes from anywhere in the world by telephone.
Trainees also receive one-on-one personal coaching and supervision. Trainees
who are in Yerushalayim and wish to attend in person may do so as well.
The satisfaction of helping people achieve
fulfillment, coupled with the potential for handsome hourly fees --
earned from home, over the phone, at the coach' convenience -- is hard
to match.
Classes begin Sunday, June 13, and are
filling rapidly. They will be held weekly on Sundays, so that people who
work during the week can also join. To sign up for the Certified Coach
Diploma Program, email info@Refuah.net or CLICK HERE!

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest
on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting
topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the
Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to
questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my
own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
Can
someone light their first Shabbos candle from a shabbos candle that is
already burning ?
Answer:
The Poskim do allow using a lit shabbos
candle to ignite another candle. However, it's best not to pick up the
lit candle and light the unlit candle, rather take the unlit candle and
bring it to the flame of the lit candle.
A lit shabbos candle, however, may not
be used to ignite a match or another non shabbos candle etc.
(See Mishnah Berurah Siman 263:4 and Biur Halacha).
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל
יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות
אלא הלכות -
one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in
Olam Haba - the world to come. (Talmud
Niddah 73a)
