*************
- Why was Parshat Kedoshim said in front of all the Jewish People?
19:2 – Because the fundamental teachings of the Torah are contained in this Parsha. - Why does the Torah mention the duty to honor one's father before it mentions the duty to honor one's mother?
19:3 – Since it is more natural to honor one's mother, the Torah stresses the obligation to honor one's father. - Why is the command to fear one's parents followed by the command to keep Shabbat?
19:3 – To teach that one must not violate Torah law even at the command of one's parents. - Why does Shabbat observance supersede honoring parents?
19:3 – Because the parents are also commanded by Hashem to observe Shabbat. Parents deserve great honor, but not at the “expense” of Hashem's honor. - What is “leket”?
19:9 – “Leket” is one or two stalks of grain accidentally dropped while harvesting. They are left for the poor. - In Shemot 20:13, the Torah commands “Do not steal.” What does the Torah add when it commands in Vayikra 19:11 “Do not steal”?
19:11 – The Torah in Vayikra prohibits monetary theft. In Shemot it prohibits kidnapping. - “Do not do wrong to your neighbor” (19:13). To what “wrong” is the Torah referring?
19:13 – Withholding wages from a worker. - By when must you pay someone who worked for you during the day?
19:13 – Before the following dawn. - How does Rashi explain the prohibition “Don't put a stumbling block before a sightless person”?
19:13 – Don't give improper advice to a person who is unaware in a matter. For example, don't advise someone to sell his field, when in reality you yourself wish to buy it. - In a monetary case involving a poor person and a rich person, a judge is likely to wrongly favor the poor person. What rationale does Rashi give for this?
19:15 – The judge might think: “This rich person is obligated to give charity to this poor person regardless of the outcome of this court case. Therefore, I'll rule in favor of the poor person. That way, he'll receive the financial support he needs without feeling shame.” - When rebuking someone, what sin must one be careful to avoid?
19:17 – Causing public embarrassment. - It's forbidden to bear a grudge. What example does Rashi give of this?
19:18 – Person A asks person B: “Can I borrow your shovel?” Person B says: “No.” The next day, B says to A: “Can I borrow your scythe?” A replies: “Sure, I'm not stingy like you are.” - The Torah forbids tattooing. How is a tattoo made?
19:28 – Ink is injected into the skin with a needle. - How does one fulfill the mitzvah of “hadarta p'nei zaken”?
19:32 – By not sitting in the seat of elderly people, and by not contradicting their statements. - What punishment will never come to the entire Jewish People?
20:3 – “Karet” — being spiritually “cut off.” - What penalty does the Torah state for cursing one's parents?
20:9 – Death by stoning. - When the Torah states a death penalty but doesn't define it precisely, to which penalty is it referring?
20:10 – Chenek (strangulation). - What will result if the Jewish People ignore the laws of forbidden relationships?
20:22 – The land of Israel will “spit them out.” - Which of the forbidden relationships listed in this week's Parsha were practiced by the Canaanites?
20:23 – All of them. - Is it proper for a Jew to say “I would enjoy eating ham”?
20:26 – Yes.
עוד מנהגים השייכים לימי הספירה
יש נוהגים בימי ספירת העומר (עד יום ל”ד בעומר) שלא ללבוש בגד חדש
שצריך לברך על לבישתו ברכת שהחיינו (דהיינו בגד חדש שיש שמחה בלבישתו כמו חולצה
חדשה וכדומה, אבל בגד כמו גופיה שאין מברכים עליו שהחיינו, לכל הדעות מותר ללבשו
בימי הספירה). ויש מקילים בזה ללבוש בגד חדש.
יש מחמירים שלא לתפור ולתקן בגדים חדשים בימי ספירת העומר, ומנהגינו להקל בזה,
ואף להנוהגים איסור בזה, מכל מקום אם עושה כן לצורך חתן שעומד לינשא בל”ד
לעומר, אין בזה מנהג להחמיר כלל.
לדעת מרן הרב עובדיה יוסף זצ”ל, אין כל איסור או חומרא, להיזהר שלא
לברך שהחיינו על פרי חדש בימי ספירת העומר, ואותם שנהגו כן, באו לידי מנהג זה
בטעות מפני שכך הדין בימי בין המצרים, שבהם אין לברך שהחיינו על פרי חדש, אך בימי
ספירת העומר אין מנהג להחמיר בזה כלל, מפני שימי הספירה אינם ימי אבל, כימי בין
המצרים שבהם אירעו חורבן בית המקדש ושאר פורענויות, ולכן אין לברך שהחיינו וקיימנו
והגענו “לזמן הזה”, על זמן שנועד לפורענות לכלל האומה, אבל ימי הספירה
אינם נחשבים ימי פורענות, ואדרבא, כתב הרמב”ן שקדושת ימי הספירה כימי חול
המועד, ולכן אין להחמיר בזה כלל.
אבל לעניין לבישת בגד חדש בימי הספירה, ראוי להחמיר בזה בימי הספירה שלא
ללבוש בגד חדש, ואם יש צורך בלבישתו, נכון להדר וללבשו ביום שבת, ואז גם יוכל לברך
עליו שהחיינו. וכן במקום שמחת בר מצוה או ברית מילה יש להקל ללבוש בגד חדש בימי
הספירה.
More Customs Observed During the Omer
Counting Period
Some have the custom that during the Omer counting
period (until the 34th day of the Omer), one does not wear a
new garment which requires the recitation of the “Shehecheyanu” blessing
(i.e. a new garment which causes the wearer joy, such as a new shirt and the
like; however, a new garment which does not require a “Shehecheyanu”
blessing, such as an undershirt and the like, may be worn during the Omer
period according to all opinions). Some rule leniently and allow wearing new
clothing.
Some act stringently and abstain from sewing and
altering new clothes during the Omer period; however, our custom is to be
lenient in this regard. Even according to those who are customarily stringent,
nevertheless, if this is being done for a bride or groom who is getting married
on the 34th day of the Omer, there is no custom to be stringent
at all.
According to Maran Rabbeinu Ovadia Yosef zt”l,
there is no reason to be stringent and abstain from reciting a “Shehecheyanu”
blessing on a new fruit during the Omer counting period. Those who have
observed this custom have done so in error, for they have confused this period
with the “Three Weeks” prior to the Ninth of Av during which time one should
not recite a “Shehecheyanu” blessing on a new fruit. However, during the
Omer counting period, there is no such custom to be stringent, for the days of
the Omer are not days of mourning as are the “Three Weeks” during which the
destruction of the Bet Hamikdash and other tragedies occurred. It is for this
reason that it is inappropriate to recite the “Shehecheyanu” blessing
which translates to “Blessed is He… Who has allowed us to live, to exist, and
to reach this time” about a period which is designated as a time of
national tragedy. On the other hand, the period of the Omer is not considered a
tragic time; on the contrary, the Ramban writes that the holiness of the days
of the Omer counting is tantamount to that of Chol Hamo’ed. There is therefore
no reason to act stringently in this regard.
Nonetheless, it is proper to act stringently with
regards to wearing new garments during the Omer. If there is truly a necessity
to wear a new garment, one should try to wear it on Shabbat in which case one
may also recite the “Shehecheyanu” blessing. Similarly, one may act
leniently and wear a new garment during the Omer period in honor of a Bar
Mitzvah or Berit Milah celebration.
