Items that perform a function when Shabbos starts, like a button that is attached to a shirt, are not muktzeh. Even should they cease to perform that function during Shabbos, they would not become muktzeh so long as they were intact. Therefore, a fallen button is not muktzeh. However, it may not be re-attached until after Shabbos. Note: Some rule that a button loses its status if it is not functional right now. It would be good to satisfy that opinion, where possible, and treat a fallen button as muktzeh. If one were to decide not to re-attach the button to the original garment, then the button would lose its status as a functional implement, and it would be muktzeh. A button that has never been attached to a garment is muktzeh. (Shabbos 122b, 124b; Mishneh Berurah 308:35; Az Nidbiru 7:46; Shemirat Shabbat k'hilchatah 15:72, 15:(222); Rivivos Ephraim 1:223:7; Yalkut Yosef Orach Chaim 308:87) MAZEL TOVS We extend a hearty Mazel Tov to: Shaya & Robin Berglas and Ari & Shoshana Lerner on the engagement of Shmuli to Shira, and to grandparents Larry & Sheila Tover and Rabbi Ivan & Arleeta Lerner and Morty & Carole Pancer and to great grandmother Dena Lerner Gerber Rabbi Scot A.

PARSHAS QUESTIONS SHEMOS BY: THE RAV First Aliyah: (1:16) If Pharaoh wanted to curtail the Jewish population, why did he only order the male babies murdered? Second Aliyah: (2:1) Why are Moshe s parents not identified by name, rather just a man from the house of Levi, and daughter of Levi? Third Aliyah: (2:15) Why was Moshe fearful for his life if Pharaoh was his step-grandfather couldn t he have appealed to his mercy? Fourth Aliyah: (3:2) What is significant about the symbolism of a bush that burns but is not consumed? Fifth Aliyah: (3:17) Why did Hashem tell Moshe to tell the Jews that he d take them out of Egypt to go to Eretz Yisrael why not tell them about the gift of the Torah first? Sixth Aliyah: (4:24-26) What s the significance of the story of Moshe s son being circumcised by Tzippora on their way back to Egypt? Seventh Aliyah: Why did Hashem arrange that before the Plagues, Pharaoh would make life more difficult for the Jews by depriving them of straw?
