If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1)Before we continue, we will review and clarify a few things as I am receiving a lot of questions regarding the following definitions and their status:
Kli Rishon, the First utensil: This is the actual pot or pan in which the food was cooked. As long as the contents of a Kli Rishon are hotter than Yad Soledes Bo, even after it has been removed from the fire or other heat source it is able to cook other [uncooked] items and doing so is a biblical prohibition of Bishul.
Kli Sheini, the second utensil: This is the utensil into which the contents of a Kli Rishon have been transferred. Once the hot food is in a Kli Sheini, even though the food is still boiling hot beyond Yad Soledes Bo, it can no longer cook most other items.
2) Irui Kli Rishon, pouring from a Kli Rishon: If the item from the Kli Rishon which was just on the fire or other heat source was poured directly into the kli Sheini, according to the Chazon Ish and other Poskim, it retains its status as a Kli Rishon even in the second utensil, as the stream of hot liquid from one utensil to the next is considered a "connection". (See Pri Megadim, Aishel Avraham Siman 318:33, Shu"t Minchas Yitzchak Vol. 4 Siman 46 and Shmiras Shabbos K'Hilchasa Perek 1 footnote 122. Many Poskim are stringent with this and thus for example when making a tea on Shabbos require the water that went from the urn into the first cup to be poured into a second cup as they consider the first cup a Kli Rishon.)
Irui Kli Sheini, pouring from a Kli Sheini: If the item from a Kli Sheini was poured into a Kli Shlishi, the prevalent ruling is to give it the status of Kli Shlishi. However, hot water above Yad Soledes Bo in a Kli Sheini should not be poured directly over items that require hot water in order to be consumed, such as a raw egg and tea leaves.(See Mishna Berura siman 318:35 and Shmiras Shabbos K'Hilchasa Perek 1:57)
Tomorrow we shall B'Ezras Hashem define Kalei HaBishul and Davar Gush.

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.

Reader's Question:
My question is about standing at "Baruch Hash-m L'olom" at Maariv. My father always got up for this. I see a few others in shul who do as well. I believe I once saw in Sefer Tefillah b'tzibur - that there is a minhag to stand but not face mizrach. this shows that it is NOT in place of shemonah esreh. What are your commentts please?
Answer:
The Rama (Siman 236:2) says that it is a good mihag to stand when saying "Baruch Hashem L'Olam". The Mishna Berura However brings from many Achronim that it is best not to stand.
Many people, including your father, followed the Rama and many people follow the Mishna Berurah, that is why you say varying customs for this by different people.
Even if saying it standing, you should not keep your feet together or face the wall, so it shouldn't seem like you are davening Shemona Esrei

Chizuk For Today:
What is the Segula for getting married? Segula means, what is some means, some mysterious means of getting married?
Answer by HaRav Avigdor Miller Zatzal:
The most mysterious means of getting married is, to pray to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, that's also a Segula, it's a mystery how it works. Everybody has to pray to Hakadosh Baruch Hu before marriage, because it's something that's going to affect you and your generations. If you're going to marry a girl who doesn't want to have many children, and therefore you're going to have just a little family of maybe two. Some day you'll look around, you'll see - others have families of children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, and you see a Nachas, you see how many Frum Jews resulted from that little marriage years ago.
Remember that poor little marriage in a hall years ago, and look what happened, so many Bnei Torah, so many beautiful boys and girls all Frum. Isn't it a tragedy that because of a silly girl who got into her head, she didn't want to have more than two babies, so therefore you're deprived of all this greatness? You have to pray, Hakadosh Baruch Hu should send the right boy or send the right girl, and pray all you can. You have to pray all you can, and I want to add an advice, it wouldn't hurt, wouldn't harm to shed a tear or two while you're praying. Pray and shed a tear to Hakadosh Baruch Hu, He should send the right one. That's the best Segula of all.
However if you want additional Segulas, girls: If you have to see a boy, the first time or second time, whatever it is, don't make the mistake of fumbling, of spurning the occasion; go to a beauty parlor. I once said that to a Frum girl, and she said, do you mean to say that a real Ben Torah would look at such things? Isn't that silly, certainly a Ben Torah will look at such things. It's as unrealistic as could be; every girl has to prepare for the first encounter. You have to use everything you have, and even what you don't have. That's a Torahdika attitude, a woman has to utilize all the means that she can get, to win the right man. And again I'll add one more thing; and to keep the right man.
All her life, a wife has to make herself beautiful for her husband, not for the street. It's not only a waste of effort, but it's not a Mitzvah at all for a woman to go out pretty in the street. She's not supposed to be seen by other people when she is pretty. So in the street, as plain as possible, don't advertise your femininity on the street. Don't flaunt your femininity on the street. But at home, your husband has to see a beautiful wife at all times, even if you're an old woman. Don't think an old Talmid Chochom, an old Tzadik doesn't care for these things.
And what you hear is solid good advice, and you'll discover it when you're eighty five.
