According to Mori V'Rabi

 

Some of the Halachos heard on the phone 6 years ago
during Covid 19 from מורי ורבי הרה"ג ר' שלמה מילר שליט"א  
at his במקום שבת הגדול דרשה
Some Halachos might be הלכה ולא למעשה.
being it was said during Covid

Reb Shlomo Miller 

1) One should not order Chametz before Pesach from
Amazon etc. to be delivered after Pesach.

2)  Garbage bins belonging to the municipality may be filled
with Chametz if put out on the curb before Pesach.

3) Burning Chametz requires a one-piece כזית or combined
smaller pieces totaling a  כזית but then it needs to be in one כלי. 

4) When buying from a store a  כלי that needs טבילה it's
best to sell it to a Goy.

Not having in mind to be קונה the כלי when purchasing it is
not an option. (Mikvaos were closed)

5) One can do ביעור חמץ by placing a כזית חמץ on a fork and
burning it over a candle.

6) According to some, you can't Kasher a quartz countertop.
Some consider crushed stone as חרס.

7) The Torah specified only כלי חרס can't be Kashered.
Anything else could be Kashered. Therefore some hold
one may Kasher even plastic etc.

8) Most alcohols in hand sanitizers are not made from
grain and one can rely on רוב that it's not חמץ.
        

9) Those who Daven מוסף ביחידות on the first day of

Pesach should stop saying משיב הרוח ומוריד הגשם at 
מוסף (not at Mincha) (Even Nusach Ashkenaz in Chutz Laaretz) 

However, If you did say משיב הרוח at מוסף there is no
need to repeat the מוסף.
   

Treading the beautiful path

 

Was it a misprint? In the back of the שו"ת נודע ביהודה מהו' תנינא they printed a copy of the שטר רבנות the city of Prague presented to the נודע ביהודה. As is customarily done it was written in flowery & poetic language.  In one of the  phrases, it says אנשי שם ויפיפי פעם ( the people accepting the N.B. as their Rav) The publisher of the נודע ביהודה writes in the footnotes that the words "יפיפי פעם" is a mistake because there is no such terminology and it has no meaning. He continues, he is surprised at the original publisher of this שטר רבנות, Harav Professor Kauffman for not realizing  this mistake. The fact is, the term "יפיפי פעם" is not a mistake. It was used close to a thousand years ago when the Piyut for שביעי של פסח was written. The פייטן describes the Yidden as יפיפי פעם. The term is probably based on the Pasuk in שיר השירים  - מה יפו פעמיך  Art Scroll translates יפיפי פעם "those who on the beautiful path do tread" (בני ישראל)

 

 

 

The Shver insisted

---

*ובני ישראל יוצאים ביד רמ"א *The one & only day of the year ר' יוחנן wore Tefilin, was on חול המועד פסח. ( רא"ש ברכות פ"ג ס' ל"א (ע"פ נוסח הרושלמי שהיה להרא"ש* R. Akiva Eiger zt"l brings a ראיה (proof) from a Rashi in Sukah 46a that one is obligated to wear Tefillin on  Chol Hamoed. The תנא קמא holds if one has many Mitzvos to perform, (at the same time) he should make one Bracha "על המצות" Rashi gives an example of how one has many Mitzvos at the same time, for instance, לולב סוכה תפילין ציצית The son in law of R Akiva Eiger Zt"l, R. Shmuel Birenbaum zt"l writes when he came the first time to his Shver (R. Akiva Eiger zt"l) on Chol Hamoed Pesach. His Shver insisted, he put on Tefillin**, even though his family was from a Chasidic background and didn't wear Tefillin on Chol Hamoed. R.A.E. claimed that in Germany & all the surrounding countries, it was accepted to follow תורת משה, the רמ"א, in all his Pesakim, wherever he argues on the בית יוסף. *Chasam Sofer Oc"h 31:2 **from then on he wore Tefillin on Chol Hamoed ,   with no Bracha and made a Tenai The מהרש"ל was not too concerned with the זהר who writes that one who wears תפילין בחוה"מ  is חייב מיתה

R Chaim Kanievsky zt"l answered

 

 Parshas Hashavua
תזריע

שמונה ימי מילה

 

                                           

In the פיוט of אחד מי יודע, it says:

" שמונה ימי מילה" eight days of Milah (based on the גמרא ערובין מ' ע"ב) 

The מפרשים ask: There is only one day of מילה on the  eighth day, and not eight days of מילה.

Reb Chaim Kanievsky זצ"ל answered, "There is an obligation not to make a ברית before the  eighth day.

 Therefore there are eight days of Milah 
The first seven days to make sure not to do the ברית and on the eighth day to do the ברית.

The 4 Pesach Riddles Answered

 

Excerpts from "הגדש"פ ואת עמלנו"  THE 4 RIDDLES 1) To avoid the איסור חמץ שעבר עליו הפסח The Goy has to sell his Chametz to another Goy.                                         GOY EL GOY  1) The Halacha of, a wife's assets belonging to her husband, is not applicable if the husband is a Goy.   A Goy who is ch"v married to a Jewess we apply the rule of דינא דמלכותא (Law of the land) and 50% of the assets belong to the (Jewish) wife, (Harav Y.S. Elyashiv zt"l) Therefore, their Chametz needs to be sold to another Goy,  for it not to become חמץ שעבר עליו הפסח (ie: A Goy who is a partner with a Yid, their חמץ must be sold)  2) A Goy who will be becoming a Ger on Pesach  .   2) Yosef, being a בכור, should not be the שליח ציבור.   The משנה ברורה (470:2)  writes, " When a Minyan of fasting Bechorim Daven together on Erev Pesach and the Shliach Tzibur is one of them, he  must say עננו at שומע תפילה. However, it is preferable for the Bechor not to be the שליח ציבור, being it's Chodesh Nissan and it's not proper to mention the fast in חזרת הש"ץ ".      3)  The Yom Tov of פסח is only one & a half (1.5) days. 'בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן, בְּאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר לַחֹדֶשׁ--בֵּין הָעַרְבָּיִם:  פֶּסַח, לַה 'וּבַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם לַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶּה, חַג הַמַּצּוֹת לַה The חזקוני פ' אמור פרק כג, ה writes, "Erev Pesach and the first Seder night are called פסח  From the first day on, it is called חג המצות." חזקוני בין הערבים פסח, ערב יום טוב הראשון והלילה נקראו פסח על שם שעסוקין בקרבן שנקרא כך , אבל שאר החג מליל ראשון ואילך נקרא חג המצות.   4) Some years, on אחרון של פסח after מנחה, you  say וידוי.   TWICE IN SEVEN YEARS, WE SAY  וידוי ON פסח The הלכה of וידוי מעשרות to be done on the fourth* & seventh year, is brought down in שו"ע יו"ד סימן של"א ס' ק"מ- קמ"א The בית יוסף holds this מצוה is applicable בזמן הזה. The לבוש - ש"ך - גר"א & חרדים all agree with the ב"י The אדרת has five reasons for not doing it today. However he refutes them all and holds הלכה למעשה to do וידוי מעשרות  בזמן הזה on the fourth year after שמיטה & on the seventh year, after Mincha on אחרון של פסח. The חזון אי"ש argues and holds that this Mitzvah is not applicable בזמן הזה. *This year תשפ"ה

Shabbos Hagadol

 

Excerpts from "הגדש"פ ואת עמלנו"



   Because it did not happen on Shabbos                                     


We celebrate שבת הגדול because the נס of crossing the Yarden didn't  happen on Shabbos. 

The ב"ח (O.Ch.430) writes, "why do we commemorate the נס  (sheep tied to bed ) on Shabbos instead of the tenth of Nissan?" (actual date of נס)

He explains, " as not to confuse it with a different נס that also happened on the 10th of Nissan. The crossing of the ירדן
occurred on the tenth of Nissan, but it did not happen on a Shabbos.  

By commemorating the נס  (sheep tied to bed ) always on Shabbos  and not on the 10th Nissan
no one will think we are celebrating because of the other נס of crossing the ירדן

"שבת שלפני הפסח קורין אותו שבת הגדול"
 
The חיד"א in ספר מחזיק ברכה writes:
On Shabbos Hagadol, מדקדקים
greet each other ,"שבת הגדול ומבורך" 
instead of "שבת שלום ומבורך."

Are the Women Lazy

 

LAZY WOMEN?   The מחבר בשלחן ערוך (O.Ch. 437:4) writes “We can trust women, slaves, and children that the house was properly cleaned for Pesach". The reason for this is since בדיקת חמץ is only מדרבנן we may rely on them.    Had it been דאורייתא we would not have relied on them based on the ירושלמי that says נשים עצלניות הן (women are lazy) and therefore where it is time-consuming or difficult to do they take shortcuts and are not reliable.   The ערוך השלחן writes that women of today are more reliable than men*. They are more stringent and מדקדק in cleaning than men are.   We even find it in the (ראשונים (ר'מנוח,מאירי, ראביה that this does not apply to  women of today.   * The מ"ב writes לכתחילה we should not have women do Bedikas Chometz.

תנור ראשון PIZZA

 

The תרגום המיוחס ליונתן שמות י"ב:י"ח writes,   On the evening of the twenty-second, you (should) may eat leavened bread.  Perhaps, this is the reason for the Minhag to have long lineups at the Pizza shops on מוצאי יו"ט פסח
