Pesach: The Laws of Yom Tov - Rabbi Reuven Lauffer

my regular young terview can prepare food you can actually prepare food from the beginning which means that you can take flour and you can add you know and pay stuff you can add water and you can turn it into matter you can bake it you can take will meet and you can cook it if you've got a wave right again these things you can't just stick it in the oven and switch the oven on but if your oven is going to come on through some kind of a time mechanism timing mechanism then that's fine you can put in a piece of raw meat and you can let it cook in there and once it goes off you could take it out and you can eat it party onion to regularly on to we're gonna get color mode afterwards opens your shabbos avanzar something else altogether but the thing about Chavez's you can't cook on shabbos which is you can't take a piece of raw meat on shabbos morning before you go to shore stick it in the oven star k which is coming out of baltimore of Hyneman so they are at the moment i think they are the most advanced Cassius authority that are giving giving cash or certification to all kinds of all kinds of knowledge electronics yet so they've got all different kinds of ovens that now have shabbos modes what's the big deal about a shabbos mode like you say normally when you've got an electric oven the problem is that once you open the door cold air goes in and it causes the oven thermostat to kick in I didn't have to start heating itself up to retain the temperature that's supposed to be that's a problem on Chavez it's a problem of kindling fire there's a problem of cooking if there's food in there as well you're causing the thing to be on a higher light than it was the shabbos mode allows you to you once you put it on the shabbos mode it retains a completely consistent temperature all the way through regardless of whether you open or close the door it's a great idea and of course it allows for all kinds of things to be done that wouldn't be able to be done normally on shabbos right sometimes you know more i think i think more simplistic shovers modes inside of ovens simply allowed a pre program when it's going to go on and when it's going to go off right so if you want it you want to keep it on a low temperature and you want to warm up for something or have something cooking in there from air of shabbos for example you want to put in your your main course at air of shabbos and the chavez clock will switch off the oven you know hour and a half after Chavez came here and then you can take the stuff out because the oven is no longer functioning right now anybody from over here was using the Israeli other than so it's probably not functioning anyway especially when it comes to energy on tape that's too so that that's got nothing to do with cash results just to do with ovens in all events so on a regular yomtov things are really a lot less complicated with regards to preparing food it's a lot less complicated with regards to carrying things as well you don't have to be inside of an era of to be able to carry you can carry anything that you need for yomtov so let's say for example person needs reading glasses in order to be able to read out of the matter on a regular shabbos you can't do it you can't carry your glasses around unless you've got an aerial we'll talk about that in a moment but unless you've got an area of going around your area so you'd have to leave glasses ensure in order to be able to read the governing oh if you like your eyes that's fine right but you know as again people that we just glasses for reading so when they put on their reading glasses and if they don't they're not reading they're very uncomfortable it's very difficult than to see clearly actually so there's actually if there are a few shoes I'm sure there are lots of shows but a few shows that I'm familiar with in London where they have the they have a whole selection of reading glasses and somebody donated them all different kinds of numbers you know from plus 05 to you know two plus three or four whatever it is and that way people don't have to worry they can just come and they can borrow the glasses in the show and when they finish they can put it back again but when there's a kiddush on shabbos morning there there is sensor armor you can smell the because another Cooper wafting through the show and it enhances your your qivana apparently in all events so and a normal circumstance on a regular yomtov you don't have to worry about these things you could carry you could carry your keys you can carry your master you can carry children right wheel them around in buggies there's no problem whatsoever when you're onto falls out on shabbos it is a problem what do you need when you have two fools out on shovels or when how about when Chavez falls out on each others that also happens occasionally when it showers and you're living in an area that does not have an error if it becomes a little bit of a problem you can't re anything carrying is not going to be defined by how difficult what it is that you're carrying is but it's going to be defined by taking something out of what's called the shutter your head which is where you're living inter the rashad are being which is outside of your home into the street that's a problem yeah I father issues her alimony um existed for six hundred thousand yeah so there are there are there are four different dimensions of Russia art and if it's not a ratio so Robin that it's something called a camel is it's fine what whatever whatever it is right there's a problem with whatever whatever you want to call it there's a problem with transferring from one reshoot into another assured it is true that according to deal right according to torah law & schuster Ravan is going to be defined by a road that's got 600,000 people going through it during one day now 600,000 people is not quite as much as it sounds because first of all was talking about two directions so that's 300,000 each direction and the minute you're using transport so you know you've got buses coaches cars full of people there was a big a big buck like as many many years ago the era of that was put up over it encompassed ocean parkway in flatbush and it was a you know RAV moshe function said that it wasn't that you couldn't use it because he said the ocean parkway was a vicious arab in the other other place can said that it wasn't that it was okay and that's why up till today some people do use the form they do use the arrows and flatbush and some people don't use the every flatbush i wasn't just suggested you there depending on the community that you'd be along to it probably depends on what you're going to do but as far as we're concerned even even even in inverted commas even if the prohibition is a rabbinical probably Shannara torah prohibition we still got to be concerned which means that we can't take things from outside of our apartment or outside of your house which is risha say yo kid into the street which is going to be a different route just you know again depending on how you want it's affordable slow karma this year and so what does that mean so on a shadows it's a problem it's it's a it's a probably a lot of repercussions because first of all it means you can't take your keys with you secondly it means that you can't push buggies thirdly it means that you can't you can't carry anything right there might be needed so what do you do there is sometimes the content coordinator of an era of is a way of encompass in our luck equate encompasses a whole area and so we should say I've here the simple simple definition or should I kids and think of a thing in the house you've got a home and you've got a little garden and that that's your was short AFK that belongs to you right that's your personal domain there is a way halacha CLE of turning a large area into a reshoot I acted by stringing wires all the way around it you're not the string wires everywhere that's pretty good you're not district is everywhere it depends on the terrain a little bit there are some parts for example in the lower east side where they use the banks of the of the river that goes around there they use sometimes use railway tracks all of this it's very complex very detailed the hollow heart but once you've got an air of up even though it doesn't look like a wall right it doesn't do any real resemblance to wall at all you've normally got two metal poles and wire strung between the two of them and it's got to be very taut it's going to be very tight a pair of shoes or at least at least something normally like a piece of ribbon or something to I don't know where the shoes came from but the always wonder where the rest of the person is the the videos they normally have a little something dangling down so that when they could they can make a quick visual thing to make sure that the Arab is still up when you've got very heavy winds heavy snow all of these things sometimes have the problem that they'll bring the arrow down they'll snap it right if there's enough weight on it and that's so just to be just to be sure you've got people go around every arrow shabbos making sure the area of is up and I know for example the area of in London my brother gets a an SMS every area of Shaba saying that the area of is good and in the area is not good then you get one arrow shop is a problem not morning the properties that when you if the arrow goes down let's say for example you bring a little kid to show in the buggy right and then for there's very bad weather and whatever the error goes down then it's a problem the era of turns a large area into era shoot they are here and that means now it can be used to carrying and then that connection to 600,000 people buzzing oh so if you've got if you've got a road going through which has got 600,000 people then it's going to be a problem because you can't you cannot you cannot encompass a reshoot a rub in it's not possible right you've got really a kid we should turn up in what you know what needs to be done in a situation like that is I everything I don't really know you really you need to set up to different areas one that stops before the shutter album and then the other one begins on the other side of should have even you can't get from one side to the other carrying which of course is going to be a problem if there's a bridge bridges are a little bit complicated underground passages are a lot less complicated but like I said that I lack of that locals are very they're really very detailed very complex and they require great experts to make sure that everything is working the way their works hold on just one second I just want to clarify something if there is an eruv you do need to know that you can only carry what you need it's not some kind of a blanket dispensation to be able to carry whatever you want another partner on shabbos no you should avoid doing that and all under all circumstances but you know I don't know for example let's say for example you've got you've got a whole a whole ring of keys right and right you just need your front door key and you don't need all the other keys are on it is know that you've got no intention of using the other keys that are on it so it's a question the best thing would be would be to take they take the key off the ring and just use the key that you need that you can carry the others you shouldn't be carrying them around with an era when there's no era then there's no there's no possibility of carrying a key words to weather yeah so you want to say something yeah running on a bridge over a motorway too scary to sort of other people the fourth time the domain maybe it's high up enough in its high up enough yeah the quezon question is it's high up enough the problem is like this because it's attached at both ends and it's going it's going it's gradually going to go down it's not so partial anymore that it's that it's something which is going to fit the criteria again is that there was a lot of controversy for example the area they put up in London which passed over something called the North Circular the North Circular is according to some opinions is what's called a Suffolk rashad arabin I think to a lot of a lot of opinions it's a bad I we should turn out there but it's got a bridge that goes across again some people use it some people don't is it what whatever you do you know a lot of a lot of this has got to do with with what community belong to and and we you know which rabbis you following it's fine really it's fine but again just to clarify carrying is not going to be defined by how difficult it is to carry something carrying is going to be defined by whether you're carrying or not so for example walking out into the street with a key in your pocket when there's no Arab is a prohibition and I don't know let's say you've got guests coming and you need to move the sofa so picking up the sofa in your salon and you know schlepping it along to the put it into a different room is not considered to be carrying and it's not considered to be work on Shabbat because that's something that's permissible to do again right we're not we're not defining work by the difficulty we're defining work according to the Haluk definition which got a lot to do with creative something which has got a creative dimension to it in all events anyang to a regular yount of you can prepare food you can cook food that's a on this this year first aired yomtov is going to be on Shabbat for those are only keeping one day so it's Shabbat we don't have too much all the food needs to be prepared beforehand and it needs to be warmed up in the correct way in the permissible way and for those people are keeping two days of yontiff so when motzei shabbat when Shabbat goes out then they can bring put preparations for yomtov and at that point they can begin if they want they can prepare start preparing food or they can you know for example you on two on Sunday morning when they wanted they want to have fresh food they can start preparing that in order to have it for the seuda onion today you don't make an eruv tavshilin here in Israel unless hold on a second no you need an eruv tavshilin when you on TV is running into shabbos right not the other way round which means like this so when you on TV is running into shadows let's say yomtov has fallen out on a rosh hashanah for example of a thursday friday and then it's Shabbos so in order to be able to prepare on yomtov for shabbos you need to prepare what's called an era of tough shell and that's something else altogether that's putting aside a little piece of 22 different kinds of food and making a broker over them and that's as if you've now that before you want if you have to do that it's a now you started prepare for yomtov already for shabbos already and then you can start you can prepare on yom tov in order to have food for shabbos what's the problem the problem is that under normal circumstances even though you're allowed to cook on yomtov you're not allowed to cook more than you need on yontiff right which means i say you've got to I don't know you want you want to prepare fresh food for your guests that are coming and you've got ten people are going to be sitting down at your yontiff table you can prepare 10 for 10 people and for apple for 10 people but you cannot deliberately prepare for 20 people in order to be able to have you know the next day to be able to have food for the next day right so you're going to be careful again yomtov you should only be preparing on your on to things that you need for your tip and you should not be preparing things that need to be that you're going to use one ski on term is over saturday in a year and this year it's a Saturday gardenside night on words again for us living here in Israel only keeping one day of yontiff so it's less complicated we just have chavez so it means all the food has to be prepared beforehand and whatever is you know whatever is prepared is going to be eaten or whatever is not prepared presumably it's not going to be you can get a three-day yahoo from israel right if you have rosh hashanah before shiloh sure rashawna at thursday friday shabbos that's the only ya think so thursday friday shabbos it's a it's it's long it's no doubt about it in good spirits it occurs relatively regularly sometimes if you've got if you've got young to falling out on Sunday so you can I shabbos Sunday so for example this year shove what is going to be on motzei shabbos and sun and sunday right that means that for here in Israel we're going to add Shabbat yomtov in hood syrettes is going to be Shabbat yontiff yomtov and it'll be three days worth of yontiff so Lemaitre with regards to shout with regards to yomtov things like electricity are exactly the same as for shava so you can't put on the lights you can't switch off lights you can have them come on and off with a time switch that's okay or you can have the the one to call the shabbos lamp which is some some typically American invention where the light stays on the whole time and you could just swivel a a protective case around it and it either you know turns it off or you know just doesn't switch off the light the lights on the whole time it blocks out the white or it lets alike in depending on what you want that's so that's we're gonna steal electricity hot water so over here a narrative style hot water is normally produced by a dude shemesh adage shemesh is solar power you've got reflectors up on the roof and you've got a drum up on the roof which is full of water and the reflectors are heating the water up it actually heats it very very hot when that you know bahasham one is enough Sun you know it doesn't need to be a lot of Sun it makes a water very very hot water like that can be used on yomtov there's no hold on a sec we're going to get to it water like that can be used on Ianto because there is no problem with heating up water on your tour so for example let's say you want to do more than that on your on to you want to heat up water right you could take it you can take a cold water in a container and you can put it on to that whatever whatever system you've got the heating up food for warming up food anyang to you can put it on to that and you can turn it into hot water there's absolutely no problem Oh Christian of boiling on the boy there's no problem with boiling water on yomtov not Shabbat on yonder right it's important to stress this not nothing to be shy about sure but it's completely forbidden but I'm yomtov let's say for example some people have what's called a black so they they have the gas and it's on and they normally have like a copper sheet that sits on top of it just to keep things a little bit safer there's nothing wrong on yontiff with taking a pot of water and sticking it on that in order to turn it into hot water to have a nice hot cup of tea that means that under normal circumstances anybody is yom tov here in Israel there is no problem with using hot water that comes out of a dude shemesh because how does that how does a solar heater work it's very simple you've got water that takes a cold water that gets pulled into the internet drum the drum heats up through the heating elements of the reflectors and when you draw off hot water through your when you open up the tap and you draw hot water from the container more cold water is added in oneonta there's no problem whatsoever on shabbos it's a problem that's why some people are the opinion if you if you've got some some some dude a shemesh some solar heaters have gotten ability like a tap that you can stop more water going into it if you could do that then there's really no problem whatsoever with using the water that's already been heated up before shudders that's in the container right because you're not doing anything at all no more cold water is coming in because you switch it off if you don't have that ability then you should not be using the dude shemesh on shabbat got a method of stopping the water from going into the dude then that's fine if you've got for example a you know like many people have a method of keeping their water hot in order to have cups of tea right what's called a may come over here it's like a it's like a it's really like a sophisticated thermal you know thermos that it's plugged in and then it reaches a certain temperature you have to switch it onto shabbos mode and shahbaz mode the water just remains at the same temperature of the whole time and it doesn't have any water going into it and you can draw the water out you can make your cups of tea and whatever else you need hot water for that you know it's fine all of these things today hang inside to be yeah yeah all of these all of these all of these machines you need to get the ones that have a that has some kind of a certification and so whether it's coming from Tom a tour from my continent my corner technology doesn't matter and then once you've got one of these things and it's no problem whatsoever to use it you can use it on shelves as well but you're just going to be careful that you put it on to Chavez mode okay that's yontiff yomtov of course tamuning on yomtov is going to be more long than usual surprise surprise the the this this year it's going to be very long because there's no column void Chavez right because it's no column 0 because you're on two fools out on Chavez and the last step you want of begins on Friday that means that there's no column void we shove us in it why is that a big deal because Norman your column mode each other's we read one of the McGillis what's going to be on yom tov it's going to be like this we're going to have regular darvany in the morning right so it's okay 20 for shabbos the same thing it's getting bigger a bigger and then chakras night chakras for yomtov the Amidah again because it's shovers so we're going to add in the bits and the pieces that need to be added for shabbos as well straight after the repetition of the Amidah there's going to be hollow right hollow is going to be recited full Hallel is going to be recited and then after hallo there is going to be the megillah Megillah she Reshiram is going to be lamed it's normally laned from a piece of parchment and it's been laid with brothers that are recited beforehand brokers of our micro McGee lunch a piano and and then the person will Lane the megillah after the megiddo has been laying there in Korea cetera like the tour reading for pesach and then the haftorah for pesach right the pesach is going to override the regular regular tour readings of shovers no no not not that that's on chat wait we don't we don't we don't relate to shove us at all on yontiff with regards to create cetera which means that we don't have any Torah reading that has something to do with shabbos we're only going to be reading the Holy needs that have to do with pays off right so they'll be 2w to see freight or even though it's Shabbos I the two sofrito the what first leg vitara is going to be talking about the exodus the second safe return is going to be talking about the core bonus the offerings that were brought for pesach after that they'll be the haftorah after the haftorah there will be Phyllis towel what is Phyllis towel we're gonna be prayer for the do right now for the Jew huh ashutosh I've always going to be pushed off until the following shabbos no now we're going to read a crane voice right the regular regular passion for our crane voice and everything's going to carry on according to the regular order no it depends if you're over here Pesach ends on friday and then shabbos is regular people that are just keeping one day if you wanted right so place off begins and chavez and ends on friday and then we run straight into shabbos it's true if you're if you're not then they're gonna be then there's going to be a problem because that's they're going to be one parsha behind so when we're reading after a noise for them it's the last day geometers and then when they the next shabbos a weird arcane voice we're already moving on so at some point include sites they'll combine to Pasha's in order to join up together to it would be towards fours what will happen is like this again everything everything depends entirely on how many how many weeks are how many services there are in the year right because sometimes when you've got an extra a dar and if it all begins on a shabbat for example the year right so then you just add it in you've got out you've got an awful lot of chávez's over there and it's really it's really not a problem if there is a problem so some of the pastures will double up later on what will happen is like this I don't say what will happen is like this according to the seder right in the hood sides outside of Israel they will double up before Shores we all have to be we all chose has to fall out between by mid bar and nothing that's going to be for everybody so at some point include size will double up and there'll be two passions in order to catch up with us it's going to be much closer to shores than pace off after sure that we've got to start making your fish but how many postures are left before we get a simpler stone is there so if there's going to be a problem with squeezing them all in then at least one shabbos will end up with a double Pasha and it needs me to first of all any Chavez column ID is is yomtov tarot reading or not shambo's reading anyway which means that we're dropping on Pesach on suckers for sure we're dropping right in for example if rosh hashanah falls out on Shabbos it's rosh hashanah reading if you're on kipper falls down on shabbos it's yom kippur reading right so however it work it's not going to happen that we're going to run out of ashes know what is possible is that if you start counting the year from a different point you might end up with in one 12-month block 12 circulat secular 12-month block you might end up having you might end up reading the same partial twice that's to do with it the lunar the lunar year as opposed to the solar year we're trying to juggle the two and balance them together when we have a full boil chatter is that will reach you like this year one yeah so in hood sirens what's going to be could be that a good sides are going to reach our shoot him on the last day of yomtov it could be right over the eighth day of you on too much for us is for us it's a regular shovers what we don't because we're we're gonna get the bread from the motor is a day after pace up it's not gonna be a chance i'd be a monte shop instead yeah whatever yeah only only because only because of the technicality what what did they mean more now via the moroccan families didn't eat in each other's homes over Pesach everyone was very careful kashrus even though everybody relied entirely on everybody else but comes the place I heard what it's very careful so on the straight after pace are finished they had something called a memuna I don't know what my Munna means but it's everybody comes together if what brings all the food that's left they bring them and they also make some delicious like pancake like that waffle like things whatever they are they're it there is a a Kabbalistic concept that on the last day of pace earth which is where the Jews went through yamas off they went through the Red Sea so there's a big thing about the machine is going to come right this one we became a nation a college bar who promised us that if we do what we do what we're supposed to do then he'll look after us and there is there is an opinion that in this Sun the you know we were redeemed in this sum will be redeemed in his son and that the the seventh day the last death pays off is a wonderful opportunity for the Machine Kabbalistic terms it's a very very mystical day and so there is something which is variously called either suitors hammer shia or soon as have bashed which is about shem tov or soon as i grow depending on which site which kind of background you come from where they have a where they sit down and they have a surah in the afternoon on Pesach afternoon my mother always used to claim that the reason was really because you've got to get rid of all the mounds of leftover matter they've got a beat and somehow so they were brought out for this suitor the embassies likely is according to the villain are gone every cause I 'it of matzah that you eat / pesach is an it's an emitter but most other a pic most other authorities don't agree most authorities are of the opinion that because i SAT night matter the cause a civ of knutson that you eat on the Seder night that's the deal right so that's a Torah Lord as a Torah compartment and the other ones are not which means that you have to eat nuts if you want to if you want to make a moiety of a pesach you have to beat matter but the Torah obligation to eat matter is only on the first night of pacer the owner God said not like that i don't know God said that every cause I civ matter that you eat is another bitter and therefore that that was his his his minute was to eat matza on the last day of pesach in the afternoon to make like a little a little like a sued Ashley like a like a third meal and to and to eat up the matter over there because every cause ice was another meter according to the more Hasidic approach it's to do with the mushy as soon as I'm oceaxe whatever it's a you know you're going to do it this year it's a problem because for us this year it's going to be Arab shabbos and it's a problem with eating too much on era shabbos and not having an appetite for the Friday night meal so therefore interests of us Bob Russell so you eat your leftover madsen so shoppers at that point though according to all opinions it's not going to be fulfilling the midst of eating monster yeah because that's the last day and you don't know no matches yeah you've got to you need to leave or got to make sure that you've got plenty of mats as leftish of us as well yeah so Davin Inc downing is going to be pretty long on on Pesach morning shabbos afternoon Pesach afternoon so it's again there's going to be Korea cetera the critter is going to be the regular Chavez reading for those three no four shabbos just at what you would normally lane on mincha on Chavez so that's it then as far as things are concerned over here a narrative straw it's going to be mod say yontiff and a half dollar is going to be made and it's going to become column ID in the hood sire it it's going to be a secondary yomtov now there's a few important I locals about the second baby on to first of all you cannot begin the Seder on the second day of yomtov until it's completely finished right until everything is completely finished and that means it's going to be pretty late right so depending on where you live you know those change your clocks already and Chavez yomtov is going to be going out pretty late and you can only begin once it's completely dark outside that might be at nine o'clock right which means that you know it's a it's going to be it's going to be a late start it's going to be along another long night the pesach seder the second piece I've Seder is the same as the first place I've Seder but with one very very important difference and that is that all of this Orion if you remember we spoke about amounts that should be eaten announcer should be drunk they are all going to be the smaller amounts because it's their our bonus rabbinical II it's a rabbit rabbinical obligation and not a turret obligation which is that we can rely on the smaller amounts and that's going to make it just a little bit easier and it also you have more time to be able to eat it inside of bit of fact there's the second seder is a rabbinical obligation and that means that all the things that we're going to do are going to be rabina chol and that allows us to tap into the again the smaller amounts and the longer time to be able to eat a drink all the things that need to be in a drink drunk still obligated with everything right so obligated with the four cups of wine you obligated to recite the haggadah and you're obligated to either matter and the morrow and you're also obligated to have a meal as well and soon as soon as yomtov right to have a yomtov Neal aptos is coming so I depend depend on you know again whatever their different approaches there's something called the the the condition of the oven e nazar very so now that's how we talk about that good okay that's that means that the first because I civ months in the you eat is made on condition that if this is a keyless afikomen then you're fulfilling the mid-atlantic omen and then that allows you to carry on everything Pass had sought after midnight as well it's a little bit complicated some people do rely upon it I must admit that I think if my memory serves me cry I have not I've not participated in a second seder for decades but if my memory serves me correct I think that the problem of cut salt is not applicable on the second night of seder because again everything is rabbinical via with also what how does it how does it work how does it how does keep it one day I'll keeping two days work anybody who lives here in Israel should be keeping one day even if you're not in Israel right now right which means it if you got somebody that's in got somebody who lives over here in Israeli went back to cut sides who traveled out of Israel to be together with family over pesach he should only be keeping one day of yomtov and his pesach his seven days are not eight days old but a sham this year there's really no big deal because everyone's keeping eight days anyway because the last I Gionta runs into shabbos anyway there's nothing can be done about it but it's say
