One may form or cut food into simple shapes on Shabbat, such as in cutting rectangular or triangle pieces of cake. However, one may not write letters, draw pictures, or cut or mold food into elaborate or meaningful shapes or designs; this is considered a form of writing. For example, one may not use a fruitcutting knife which creates a design in the fruit it cuts, and one may not put whitefish into a mold to create a fish-shaped presentation.

SHALOSH SEUDOS This week s Shalosh Seudos will be held in the Perlis Hall and is sponsored by: Larry & Susan Zeifman on the yahrzeit of Larry s mother, Sylvia Zeifman z l Rabbi Yehoshua Hoffman will speak at Shalosh Seudos PARSHAS QUESTIONS ACHAREI MOS - KEDOSHIM BY: THE RAV First Aliyah: (16:2) Why does Hashem need to identify to Moshe in this text that Aharon is his brother? Second Aliyah: How does pushing a goat off a cliff on Yom Kippur atone for the sins of the Jewish people? Third Aliyah: (17:11) How is the fact that the soul of the flesh is contained within the blood a reason for the prohibition of consuming an animal s blood? Fourth Aliyah: (19:2) What exactly is meant by the commandment, Be holy? Fifth Aliyah: (19:18-19) Why is the commandment to love thy neighbour immediately followed by the prohibition of forbidden mixtures (Kilayim and Sha atnez) what s the connection? Sixth Aliyah: (19:33-36) Why is the commandment to love the convert immediately followed by the commandment to have proper weights and measures what s the connection? Seventh Aliyah: (20:27) After recapping the beautiful message of being holy, the Torah portion ends on quite an anti-climactic note, that the Ov & Yidoni worshipper must be put to death. Why is that? SHABBAT ITANU SCHEDULE MAZAL TOV JUDAH... This week's Teen Minyan (BAYT High School Experience) Kiddush is proudly sponsored by Dr. Jonathan & Dr. Meredith Levy in honour of their son Judah on becoming Chatan Hatanach, winner of the International Chidon HaTanach Diaspora competition.
