2 Does one fulfill kavod Shabbos by wearing an uncomfortably warm winter garment in the summer? The Mishnah Berurah (242: 1) cites the Sifra which derives two mitzvos ים יעי ת to set Shabbos apart from weekdays from the posuk (and on the seventh day [you shall make] a Shabbos of תן מקר ק rest, a hallowed occasion). The first is kavod Shabbos, that one must honor Shabbos and make it holy with clean garments, and the second is oneg Shabbos, to enjoy it with eating and drinking. Many people are particular to fulfill the mitzvah of kavod Shabbos by setting aside special garments for Shabbos. It is related in the name of the Chazon Ish (cited in Chut Shani vol. 1, 1:2) that wearing a heavy garment which makes one feel uncomfortably warm when the temperature is hot is not kavod Shabbos since one does not experience oneg Shabbos when wearing it. Rav Nissim Karelitz (ibid.) clarifies that the Chazon Ish does not mean that wearing such a garment violates kavod Shabbos, nor even that one does not fulfill kavod Shabbos with it. He just means that kavod Shabbos does not obligate someone to wear an uncomfortable garment, but those who adhere to their custom to wear a special warm Shabbos garment even in the summer do fulfill kavod Shabbos with it. If one abstains from eating hot food on Shabbos because it is unhealthy for him, does he violate kavod Shabbos? As the Mishnah Berurah (ibid.) explains, the mitzvah of oneg Shabbos is to enjoy Shabbos by eating and drinking. However, the Shulchan Aruch (288:2) states that if one enjoys not eating, e.g. eating is unhealthy for him, he should not eat on Shabbos. The Mishnah Berurah ( 3) adds that it is nearly forbidden for a person to eat on Shabbos if he believes it will be injurious to him. A specific aspect of kavod and oneg Shabbos mentioned by the Rama (257:8) is to eat hot food. [He adds that one who does not eat hot foods on Shabbos is suspect of being an apikores since the Tzedukim (Saducees) and Karaim (Karaites) construe the Torah s prohibition against lighting a fire on Shabbos to also forbid leaving a fire lit, in contradiction of Chazal s tradition regarding this prohibition.] Nevertheless, the Mishnah Berurah ( 48) comments that if hot food is unhealthy for someone, he may eat only cold dishes. Another way to fulfill oneg Shabbos mentioned by the Rama (290:1) is that if someone regularly takes an afternoon nap he should also do so on Shabbos because it is enjoyable. The Mishnah Berurah ( 3) cautions against overindulging in daytime sleep however, so as not to waste time from Torah study. Rav Nissim Karelitz (Chut Shani ibid., 1: 12) adds that one can even fulfill oneg Shabbos with spiritual enjoyment, such as one who enjoys Torah study. Must a mohel give up the mitzvah of oneg Shabbos to travel out of town for a bris? The Mishnah Berurah (242: 1) mentions a disagreement among poskim whether the mitzvah of oneg Shabbos is Biblically-derived or Rabbinic. In Shaar Hatziyun ( 1) he cites the opinion of the Sefer Hachinuch and the Bais Yosef that they are only Rabbinic, but cautions that even according to this view one must be diligent to observe oneg Shabbos because Rabbinical ordinances are more stringent than Biblical ones. 1 Despite the Mishnah Berurah s caution to be diligent in oneg Shabbos specifically because of its (possible) Rabbinical status, in Shu t Minchas Yitzchok (vol. 3, 35) the Rabbinical status is invoked as a reason to violate it in the case of a mohel who was asked to perform a Shabbos bris out of town which entailed giving up his oneg Shabbos. The ruling was that the certain Biblical obligation of circumcision outweighs oneg Shabbos on account of the many opinions that oneg Shabbos is only Rabbinically ordained. He even extends this ruling (in vol. 8, 75) to a bris for a child of non-observant parents. Although there is a halachic discussion as to whether such a bris may be performed on Shabbos, he mentions that the custom follows the opinion that such a bris is performed on Shabbos and the mohel should give up his oneg Shabbos to travel out of town for it. He emphasized the importance of doing so in this case since there is concern that an observant mohel s refusal to perform such a bris on Shabbos might weaken non-observant people s performance of bris milah in its proper time (on the eighth day). 1 Despite many halachic leniencies regarding Rabbinical ordinances, this principle states that in some ways a Rabbinical infraction is more severe than a Biblical one. 2

3 Does the principle of Hashem will reimburse for whatever one spends [in honor of Shabbos] apply to extravagant purchases for Shabbos? The Mishnah Berurah (242: 4) writes, based on the Gemara (Beitzah 16a), that the more one spends for Shabbos and Yom Tov he will be reimbursed accordingly. Since one s total income is predetermined on Rosh Hashanah for the entire year he should generally limit his expenses in order not to exceed what was allotted to him. However, what one spends for Shabbos, Yom Tov, and teaching one s sons Torah is not included in the allotment and is fully reimbursed; therefore, there is no need to limit what he spends for them. This was expressed by the Gra in his famous letter (to his wife) Honor Shabbos as when I was there, sparing nothing at all, because all one s income is predetermined on Rosh Hashanah except for Shabbos expenses According to Rav Elyashiv (cited in Shvus Yitzchok, Chashmal p. 188) Shabbos expenses are only what is necessary for kavod Shabbos, but not luxuries. Many people in Eretz Yisroel do not use the public water and electric utilities on Shabbos out of halachic and hashkafic concerns involved in their production; they have private generators and water tanks for Shabbos use, an expensive alternative. The opinion of Rav Nissim Karelitz (Chut Shani vol. 1) is that these expenses are considered kavod Shabbos because they were incurred for the purpose of Shabbos observance, to avoid its desecration. Rav Elyashiv (ibid.) ruled similarly but with a slightly different reasoning. Since people are accustomed to the comforts of lights, a heated home, and running water on weekdays, it is not kavod Shabbos to be missing them on Shabbos and they are considered bona fide Shabbos needs. The money that a person spends to obtain these Shabbos needs will be reimbursed like other Shabbos needs. Which garments are included in Ezra s takanah (institution) of laundering clothing for Shabbos? The Shulchan Aruch (242:1) writes that Ezra instituted that clothing be laundered on Thursday because of kavod Shabbos. The Mishnah Berurah ( 5) explains that the intention was that clothing be freshly laundered for Shabbos, and adds that one should not wear the same garment on multiple Shabbosos without laundering it in between. The poskim discuss whether the garments must be freshly laundered for Shabbos or it is sufficient that they are clean. Rav Nissim Karelitz (Chut Shani vol. 1, 3: 11) cites that when Shabbos and Yom Tov occurred on consecutive days, the Chazon Ish used to change his clothing from one day to the next. Rav Nissim Karelitz suggests that this might be the intention of the Mishnah Berurah that one should not wear the same garment on multiple Shabbosos, that even when the days (Yom Tov and Shabbos) are consecutive, one should not wear the same garment even though it is clean. [He acknowledges that the intention might merely be not to wear it multiple weeks in a row without laundering.] On the other hand, Shu t Ohr Letziyon (vol. 2, 16:1) and Rav Scheinberg (Chidushei Basra) rule that it is unnecessary to wear freshly laundered garments as long as they are clean, and one need not change from Shabbos to Yom Tov when they are on consecutive days. Rav Nissim Karelitz (Chut Shani vol. 1, 1) rules that the takanah only applies to clothing worn directly upon one s body which constantly become soiled and are frequently washed. However, Shabbos outer garments which are infrequently laundered do not fall under the category of this institution and need not be freshly laundered for Shabbos as long as they are clean.

4 ס תמז- תע ז: סימן רל ע סימן רנ Does the restriction against laundering on Friday apply to a washing machine nowadays? The Mishnah Berurah ( 5) mentions that Ezra s takanah included not to do laundry on Friday in order to have enough time to adequately prepare for Shabbos. The permissibility of doing laundry with modern machinery is discussed among the poskim. Shu t Ohr Letziyon (vol. 2, 16:1) permits doing laundry on Friday only if one uses both a washing machine and a dryer. Even the minimal effort involved in hanging laundry out to dry should be avoided on Friday and one should not do laundry on Friday if he only has a washing machine and needs to hang-dry the laundry. Rav Scheinberg (Chidushei Basra) is also of the opinion that wet laundry should not be hung to dry on Friday. Rav Elyashiv (Dror Yikra p. 405) rules that the custom does not allow for exceptions and even a washing machine should not be used on Friday. Rav Scheinberg also rules that washing machines should not be used on Friday. Rav Nissim Karelitz rules similarly that one should not use a washing machine on Friday, [but does not seem to understand that there is a specific prohibition against laundering on Friday; he seemingly understands that the takanah requires the laundering to be done on Thursday and not on Friday, and laundering with a washing machine is included in the takanah]. Rav Shlomo Zalman (Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchosah 42: 13) adds another reason to avoid using a washing machine on Friday. Since nowadays that we have plenty of garments laundry is usually not done for the same day, someone who sees the washing machine being used on Friday will probably assume that he is laundering on Friday for use after Shabbos and this is not kavod Shabbos. Regarding doing laundry on Thursday night, Rav Nissim Karelitz (Chut Shani vol. 1, 3: 1) rules that it is included in the takanah s restriction because the requirement is that laundry should be done on the fifth day of the week which ends with nightfall of Thursday. On the other hand, Shu t Ohr Letziyon (vol. 2, 16:1) permits laundry to be done Thursday night. Rav Scheinberg (ibid.) rules that it depends on the time of year. During the winter Fridays are shorter so Shabbos preparations begin the night before and laundry should not be done; during the summer the long Fridays are sufficient to prepare for Shabbos and laundry may be done on Thursday night. There are some exceptions to the Friday restriction on laundering that are mentioned in the poskim. The Kaf Hachayim ( 20) writes that if one was an ones (in a situation beyond his control) and unable to do laundry on Thursday he may do it on Friday. Rav Nissim Karelitz (ibid.) rules that if one has no clean clothing for Shabbos he is permitted to wash clothing on Friday. Children s clothing (up to around the age of six) are mentioned by Shu t Ohr Letziyon (ibid.) and Rav Nissim Karelitz as not being included in the takanah and permitted to be washed on Friday. Is sechar Shabbos (profits or wages from Shabbos activities) permitted from a vending machine or from using a mikvah? The complex laws of sechar Shabbos are treated in Simanim and In general, even if the work was done in a permissible manner, if the payment is specifically for Shabbos, it is subject to the laws of sechar Shabbos and forbidden even when the payment is made after Shabbos. The Mishnah Berurah (introduction to 243) notes that whenever sechar Shabbos is permitted it is contingent on havlo oh (incorporating, or including Shabbos within a larger timeframe or a specific project) which means that there is no actual specific payment for Shabbos. If a vending machine is left on and non-jews purchase from it on Shabbos, Rav Vozner (Shevet Halevi vol. 5, 28) rules that the money deposited on Shabbos is forbidden because it is specifically for the Shabbos purchase and there was no havlo oh. However Rav Shlomo Zalman (Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchosah29: 70) and Shu t Minchas Yitzchok (vol. 3, 34) rule that there is no issue of sechar Shabbos with a vending machine because the money is only a payment for the purchase, not for the forbidden melachah of the machine s dispensing the item. Payment for permissible use of a mikvah on Shabbos is discussed by the Noda Beyehudah (Tinyana, O Ch 26), who permits it. He mentions that the payment also covers the expenses which were incurred before Shabbos to heat the mikvah; as such it is considered havlo oh. [Rav Shlomo Zalman (ibid. 28: 141) clarifies that reckoning expenses to permit havlo oh of sechar Shabbos can only be done with expenses actually incurred for Shabbos use; otherwise sechar Shabbos would always be permitted based on havlo oh with the expense incurred when obtaining or constructing the item.] Additionally, the Noda Beyehudah combines the opinion (mentioned 306:5) that permits sechar Shabbos for mitzvah purposes, even without havlo oh. 4

5 5 QUESTION OF THE MONTH The Shulchan Aruch (251:1) writes that work done on Friday after the time of Minchah (which is a half hour after either midday (Minchah Gedolah) or three quarters of the day (Minchah Ketanah)) is not blessed by Hashem. It seems that there is no issue with doing work [which prevents him from preparing for Shabbos]until midday. However, the Shulchan Aruch (249:1) writes that one should not travel farther than three parsa os on Friday and the Mishnah Berurah ( 1) explains that he must arrive at his destination during the first third of the day in order to adequately prepare for Shabbos. Why are the endtimes different for work and for travel? ANSWERS TO LAST MONTH S QUESTION OF THE MONTH: The Mishnah Berurah (218: 7) rules that no She asah li nes is recited over the place near Yerushalayim where the angel smote Sancheriv s encampment because the place does not remind us of the miracle. Even though it may be possible to pinpoint where the miracle happened, since the miracle did not take place with the actual land, the miracle is not recognizable from the location. However, the Shulchan Aruch (218:1) rules that one must recite the blessing when he sees the stone on which Moshe Rabbeinu sat during the war with Amalek. It would seem that this miracle is no more recognizable from its location than the destruction of Sancheiriv s army. What is the difference between these two cases? SOME OF THE ANSWERS RECEIVED WERE: R Shmuel Zisowitz, among others, based his answer on the words of the Maharsha (Berachos 54b) that the actual place of the true miracle of the war with Amalek is the top of the hill where Moshe sat on the stone, since Moshe s prayers and raising his hands were the cause of the Jews victory. In light of the תמז מסר לי ים תריך Maharsha s words, the place where the angel killed out Sancheriv s encampment כ תמז 07/16/17 מסימן רמ מצע סעיף ß ע פ ל ע תחילת סימן רמ ßלעתי מרמזß ע ßנ כל ממרינß תר קע כ תמז 07/17/17 מתחילת סימן רמ ע סימן רמ מצע סעיף ß ם ית ßנ כל ממרינß ע ßנ יע זמננß תר קע is not סנרין ßנ יע זמננß ע ßלמ ר מtheß מסימן רמ מצע סעיף ß ם ית ע סעיף ß actual site of the true miracle which took place somewhere within כ תמז 07/18/17 ßלמ ר מß ע ßעת נר מעטß סנרין כ תמז 07/19/17 מסימן רמ סעיף ß ע סעיף ß עת נר מעטß ע מט סנרין Yerushalayim מסעיף ß ע מצע סעיף ß ק כר where Chizkeyahu were כ תמז and the Jews prayed. If the 07/20/17 miracle recognizable at the site where the angel killed the encampment a blessing would nevertheless be recited because that is where the events played out. Others answered, among them Yehudah Gordon, that the stone which juts out of the ground serves as a landmark for the miracle even though the miracle did not actually take place with the stone, whereas the place where the angel killed the encampment has no landmark remaining from the event to demonstrate the miracle. Another answer, cited by R Moshe Nadler among others, is that reciting the blessing over a historical miracle requires an actual artifact of the miracle. Since there is no remnant of the miracle at the place where the angel killed out the encampment, and the miracle is not recognizable in that place, no blessing can be recited by posterity. However, since the stone which was brought for Moshe to sit on as he prayed and actually contributed to the miracle remains at the site of the miracle, it serves as an actual remnant of the miracle and a blessing may be recited.

the stone upon which Moshe sat it causes the miracle to be recognizable from the place despite the miracle not actually occurring with the actual stone. However, no object remains in the area where the angel killed Sancheirev s encampment and even when one locates the precise place the miracle is not recognizable so no blessing may be recited.
