Rabbi Burnstein Hilchos Kashrus for Women

Leave a Comment

Rabbi Burnstein’s halacha shiur for women meets every monday night at 8:30 at the Israeli home 2542 Lafayette (you can join a phone list to receive cancellation updates).
The shiur is text-based, yet very informal and interactive.  It is a great opportunity to learn the underlying fundamentals of kashrus and apply them to everyday situations that arise in our kitchens.

P’sakim of HaRav Shmuel Kamenetsky, Shlita on Hilchos Chanukah

Leave a Comment

(Hakhel)

We provide the following p’sakim of HaRav Shmuel Kamenetsky, Shlita, as excerpted from the Sefer Koveitz Halachos by Rabbi Doniel Kleinman, Shlita. As with all Halacha, one should ask his own Rav or Posek for a definitive ruling in his particular case or situation:

 1.  Although one may not use a combination of oil and candles for his Neiros, one may use different oils on any given night, because they are considered similar enough to each other.

 2.  One need not use the candle that was used as the candle to light the Neiros Chanukah as his Shamash. 

 3.  Even if the glass cups which are inserted into a Menorah cannot stand on their own because of the narrow piece of glass that fits snugly into the Menorah, one can consider the cup to still be a Kli–for it is specifically manufactured to be used in this way.

Lesson in Bitachon Just in Time for Chanukah – The Festival of Faith

Leave a Comment

(Hakhel) HaRav Salomon provides a beautiful teaching of HaRav Chaim Volozhiner, Z’tl (in Sefer Ruach Chaim to Avos 2:4). There, HaRav Chaim brings the famous Kepital in Tehillim (23)–”Hashem Ro’i Lo Echsar–Hashem is my shepherd–I will lack nothing.” Dovid HaMelech compares himself to a sheep whose whole existence depends on the shepherd. He leads them in a way that they won’t be injured–all is for their benefit even if they have no understanding.
