If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1) A very common occurrence in Jewish homes across the globe is the desire to remove a frozen Challah, kugel or other dry cooked or baked item from the freezer and defrost it for use at the Shabbos Seudah.
If there are any ice particles on the Challah or kugel it may not be placed near any heat source where it can become Yad Soledes Bo, as doing so will cause the ice to melt and then be cooked on Shabbos. (Removing the ice particles from the item on Shabbos is not an option as it may be a problem of Borer)
2)If there are no ice particles on the item, it may be placed on top of a hot water urn to defrost or on top of a pot which is on the fire or on a pot or pan that is on top of a hot plate, but not directly on a blech, hot plate or another heating element where it will reach Yad Soledes Bo, and surely not on an open fire. (Even though it is already baked there still remains a concern of initially placing something on or near a fire on Shabbos, a topic we shall B’Ezras Hashem discuss more at length in the future. See Mishna Berura Siman 253:15)

Reader’s Question:
Can you please give me the reason why in a Jewish leap year ,as this year ,during Mussaf on Rosh Chodesh we say "Lchaporas Pesha" only thru the end of Adar?
Answer:
There are 12 requests mentioned there
When we have a leap year, we add a 13th request, "L’kaporas Pesha" to correspond to the extra month and also to allude to the 13th way of uttering Hashem’s holy name, which in reality isn’t a new way as much as it is a Tziruf, a combination of all the other 12 ways.
This extra request is only necessary as long as the extra month is still in play, but after it passes the year goes back to being a normal year.
(See Sidur HaShla"h Pirush Sha’ar Hashomayim)
( 1) Tova 2) Bracha 3)Sason 4) Simcha 5) Yeshua 6)Nechama 7)Parnasa 8)Chalkala 9)Chaim 10)Shalom 11)Mechilas Cheit 12) Slichas Avon)which correspond to the 12 months of the year as well as the 12 combinations of the utterence of Hashem’s holy name.

Chizuk For Today:
The only thing that we have is who we are.
The person who has Bitachon has something that he/she can take with him.
The Gaon of Vilna says that the main reason that Hashem gave us the Torah was to bring us to have Bitachon;to bring us to have an absolute trust relationship with Hashem.

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)
