Erev Shabbos Fires and Heating: Shalheves Olah Me’eileha, Shema Yechateh, and Modern Heaters

Transcript

And chazarah, and more chazarah, and weiter chazarah, and a lot of it's not—most of it's not negea b'zman hazeh. The type of meats, and then, and then, and then. We spoke about that by us, chicken is quicker to cook. Also, rediyas hapas. There's a lot of rediyas hapas. We don't make bread that way. We don't stick it to the sides of the oven. Lafa, what do they call that? The lafa breads. That's what—you make lafa bread. Okay, so today you make lafa bread, you put it in the oven on the sides of the wall. I don't know. They do that in the stores. They still do it? In the homes? No, in the stores. Yeah, you see what I'm saying? It's a gezeirah Erev Shabbos. Okay, so I thought it was not negea, so I'm skipping. You don't mind. Okay, reish lamed hei. Ein osim—okay, I'm very tired, so I need your help today. Go ahead, read. Ein osim... Right. So in other words, you got to make sure that the fire goes up by itself. That's how well it's lit on Erev Shabbos, okay? Most of it. Yeah. In case you didn't do it, then it'll be asur lehanos baShabbos. But when it is kashir, then you'll be yachol litchamem k'neged haBishul. Lo ra. Okay. Now, so there's a few things over here. There's a few things that we have to discuss. So this is halacha of making sure that it lights well before Shabbos. So what about an oven? An oven, l'choira, an oven is the same story, right? Ein oisin madurah, would be the same story as the oven. So it has to be in such a way that it lit well. What about a heating system? Are you allowed to put on the heating system Erev Shabbos, heating Erev Shabbos in a way that it didn't, shalheves olah me'eileha? I just turned it on one second before Shabbos. Are you allowed to do that? What's automatic? The boiler goes. A boiler. You turn the boiler, so it has to work. Do you need this time, enough time that the shalheves should be olah me'eileha? So the Mishnah Berurah right away begins with the tanur beis hachoref, which means the ovens in the old days. Can we compare it to this halacha? So let's read the Mishnah Berurah. Oh, so this is the same thing: tanur shel beis hachoref, elim ken ha-tanur to'ach b'tit, which means there's no shema yechateh because it's to'ach b'tit, then it would be mutar, okay? Right? So then you're allowed to do it, to'ach b'tit, so there's no problem of shema yechateh. There's no problem, okay? Now, what about our heating systems? Our heating systems, you can't say it's to'ach b'tit, right? Our heating systems, there's buttons that you can make it more and you can make it less. So it's definitely not the case of to'ach b'tit. Techol larim, lakbia, just like you bought the knob on a, what do you call that, a stove. So you don't have the toch betit. Is it the same story as this? Let's see the next case. Continues, says the Mishnah Berurah, yeah. Oh, then it will be shaper dam. Now what does he mean, mashma? That's what he said, right? He's saying this halacha, because the truth is he's only quoting a piece of the Torahs Shabbos. The Torahs Shabbos just said the issur, that the betachor, that the tanur betachorif is asur, just like the madurah. He says the Mishnah Berurah mashma then that just like a madurah there's a heter of shelhevet olameilah, so too you have a heter of shelhevet olameilah. Continue, yeah. Oh, so even though if it's enough time it should be mutar, I still hold, says the Mishnah Berurah, that you need even more than that. You need that it should be fully, fully nigmar hesek bechol, okay? Now let's see if you can figure out the next two, three lines. Go ahead. What is he referring? What does he mean? That's the answer. You don't know how the Tanna works.

That's why nobody, unless you do a little research, can figure out what this means. Now, your book in the back is not going to help you. Your sefaradi guy in the back isn't going to help you, because he's not here to explain the Mishnah Berurah. So it's a sad thing, because you have to break, knock your head. So instead of you guys knocking your head, I'll help you out, because I knocked my head till I figured it out. They used to do the tanner with charcoal. The charcoal had to be removed, because if it stayed in the oven, it would break the oven. You lit it, it heated, and then you had to be mechabed. You had to extinguish the coals. Why? Because if you didn't extinguish the coals, you wouldn't be able to close the door. Had you closed the door of the oven with the coals inside, your oven would have burst, would have turned into an atomic bomb. So therefore what they had to do is clean out the coals, or leave the door open. Now you can't leave the door open, because then it's going to turn cold. Now read the Mishnah Berurah. It stays in the tanner, these udim, these charcoals, yeah, whatever. So you have one—you won't be able—you have to be mechabeh, or close the door, and then it'll be mitkareir. So you anyway need the job of the ein Yehudi. Still, what? Therefore it's better to get the whole thing done, and working from when? From Erev Shabbos. I'm not sure. What'd you say? I'm not sure how. What'd you say? No, because you have to leave the door open. I did the research. Where is burned down? You go through all the case of the tadir. It had to be the door. The door stays open. Because the door stays open, it's mitkarer. If you close the door, you can't leave it. You can't have both, closing the door and leaving the coals. So either you leave the door open, it'll be mitkarer, or you'll be mechabeh the gechalim. Now read it. Read it again. Yeah, you see? You see, you can't be—either you're mechabeh or it's mitkarer. It doesn't—you can't do both. Okay, continue, yeah. Okay, now, question number one. What do we do with our heating system? Do you need that it should be working strong from before Shabbos, or you could just turn it on a second before Shabbos? No, you see already it's hot in your house. Sometimes it's not going to work. Okay, so let's discuss this topic a little bit. Reb Shlomo Zalman Auerbach says a mechudash, and he says that our heating system cannot be compared to this Mishnah Berurah. Why? Because over here you want that the coals should burn. By us, we don't want that the coals should burn. We want the heat. We're looking for the heat. We want something completely different, which means that— The chitui and not chitui is not about the fire. The chitui and not chitui is about hotter and colder. No, here the chitui is the thing itself. Why would I be stoking the coals? Because I want more heat coming. Not because that's a melech, more heat. I want the coals to burn better. Why am I making the coals? It's a heating system. Correct, but the chitui is about the coals. The shalheves oleh meileha is in the coal. Here you want to compare it to the shalheves oleh meileha in the heat. It starts right away the way it is. Those coals, if they don't catch well and they have a chance of burning out, here nothing burns out. I know, but that's why I don't understand. Okay, so let me explain. He brings it there, by the... he brings it in the back. You guys have it in the back also. Let me just tell you a few more points, and then you'll understand it even better. There's another case in Shulchan Aruch that we have to deal with, and that is in the end of Reish Nun Daled. Yes, in the end of Reish Nun Daled, there's a case, kiotze bo. Read kiotze bo. Kiotze bo, lo yimalech habeit. Now you remember we talked about this, by putting the water into the...

Kedeirah, but the case there was on Shabbos through a goy. Now this is Erev Shabbos. Okay, so what are you putting? Chavis, water, right? Oven, we spoke about. Says the Mishnah Berurah, סעיף קטן נו״א. Why is that so? Well, says the Mishnah Berurah, סעיף קטן נו״א. So over here, right, over here we have a case of chitui for the water, for the object itself, but it's for hadachas keilim. Now let me explain to you what I mean. You know, the shem yechateh of ochel is not the same as shem yechateh over here. By shem yechateh by ochel, the halacha is that it's not enough just to make shelheves oleh me'eilah. Under the pot, can I just make the shelheves oleh me'eilah? Is that good enough? If I put a pot, we goy for kaitan, right? It's not enough just shelheves oleh me'eilah. How about that the fire is not dying anyway? It's not mitchabeh, and still there's halacha of what? Shem yechateh. So you see clearly that the shem yechateh of ochel is a lot different than the shem yechateh over here. Hey, the shem yichatah by oichel is even when the fire is stable. And the shem yichatah by oichel is even if it was shalheves עולה מאליה from the beginning. What's the pshat? There's obviously a different shem yichatah. One is shem yichatah because of the object, and this is shem yichatah because of the fire. It's a different shem yichatah. So when it's shem yichatah for the oichel, even if the fire is good, we're afraid, and therefore you need garuf v'katum. How about the case of a dafus keilim? What is that? Do you need it for oichel, for eating? No. But still, since I need the object itself, it's not for eating, you have a chashash of shem yichatah that you might make it more. Over here, what do you have? You have a shem yichatah for the fire. Do I need the fire for itself? No. I need the fire because I need the heat. But the shem yichatah is in the fire. When the shem yichatah is in the fire, all you need is shalheves עולה מאליה. All you need is shalheves עולה מאליה. So since, says Rav Shlomo Zalman, that you just need today our heat, you just want to toss up, so even though you're cooking water, and even if you're cooking what? You're cooking, no, gas, oil, you don't need it for that. So it's different than hadlakas keilim, so therefore it's a different shem yichatah. Huh? Because he's going to say another chiddush: the shalheves עולה מאליה, it starts from our oven. Our ovens don't have that the heat either is, you know, it's catching and not catches, and that's it, it's over, it's finished. Maybe it's a few parts to the sugya, because you are cooking the oil, and you are cooking the water, and you want the water to cook. So maybe there's a shem yechatah for that, like siman reish nun, daled at the end, kamashmalan, it's different than reish nun daled, because there I want the water, here I don't. Now read Reb Shlomo Zalman's p'sak. Go ahead. Now everything will make sense to you. You understood? Yeah? You understood what I just said? Who? Chut Shani. Who? Oh, he quotes the Chut Shani that said could be, could be. Okay, both. Go ahead. Yeah, Shulchan Shlomo, yeah. Beautiful. See, now the sugya makes sense. Now you chap what we're doing. This sugya of shem yechatah.

The fire. Then there's a sugya of Shem yichateh, cooking food, and then the Shem yichateh, cooking food not for the sake of eating. So how about our ovens? Our ovens have a chisaron, and that is because we are cooking food, cooking water, heat, or gas, or oil. So it's worse than the case of the Mishnah Berurah. Says the Mishnah Berurah, says the Rav Shlomo Zalman, no, it's not. Meaning, you can't compare it to the story of cooking water, because there I want the water, here I don't want the water. That says what I just said. It could be I'm just breaking it up. I'm explaining to you the psak of Rav Shlomo Zalman. Beautiful, right? Good? You understand what we're doing? What? He brings what Shani is. That says what I just said. Could be I'm just telling you. I know, I'm explaining to you. It's one piece. It's all one sugya. In other words, there's a Shem yichateh of the food. There's a Shem yichateh of what? For food which is not for eating, but for the thing itself. There's a Shem yichateh of food for not the thing itself. And then there's a Shem yichateh of what? When it's not even the thing itself. When it's not even the—I'm saying it's the thing, but not to cook something. It's the fire itself. All right? Okay. So let's say like this. Let's say I come into the house, yeah? I come into the house, and there's a fire on the stove, and my hands are frostbite. Hands are freezing. I want to put my hands next to the thing. Is there a problem of Shem yichateh that you might make it higher because you need more heat? According to these rules. But we said here, charerei not, right? Charerei, there's no sugya. Because as long as ... it's good enough, right? That's what we learned. Now let's do seif katan vav zayin. Now here you're not cooking. You're just warming your hands, right? You're sitting next to the fire. Still the Taz holds it's a shem yechateh. Interesting, huh? Then he brings a second shita. The second shita holds there's no problem of shem yechateh. How do you pasken l'maaseh? מסתמא the second shita, no? So l'choira there's no problem. You look at the Minchas Yitzchak, he says a sevara, and he says that if you want to be machmir on this Taz, in America there's such a thing called a fireplace. You're not allowed to sit next to a fireplace. So if you need a heker, so you would need a blech. If you want to sit next to a fireplace on Shabbos, you need a blech. Someone asks me, what about that metal pieces? Yeah, but that's always there. You'll move it and you'll make it hotter. There's also glass screen. I don't know, the screen, whatever screen is, you'll move the screen, you make it hot. What's the difference? You need something different. You need something which is not normal for it to be there. So you need a blech, you hear? When you sit next to a fireplace... Halacha l'maaseh, if you pasken like this Taz, he doesn't say about a blech; he just says asur, you won't be allowed to sit there. So I'm telling you, make a blech. Put a blech there. Who? Really? I don't know if that's true. Sit next to the fireplace. You might make it—however you normally sit next to the fireplace. People play with the fireplace to make it warmer. It's pretty fire. It's like—I've been... whatever it is, but it's neged to my case, no? How long? It's neged to my case. You know, it's neged to my case. You walk into the house and you want to put your hands next to the stove because it's freezing. So if you learn like the Taz, and if you're choshesh l'shitas haTaz, then it'll be asur. It doesn't make a difference. The chiddush is the Shem Yichat is asur anyway. That's what we learned just now. Huh? Right, to make it cook and make it... Why not? Why not? You make it higher, the same thing. Okay, so I'll tell you a chiddush vaiter from...

I don't know if you have this, but you might not have this. You have this shtickel in the back, you have this, it doesn't bring this one. Reb Zalman has a chiddush that it's only where it's going to extinguish without it. It's only going to extinguish without it. If it doesn't extinguish without it, then there's no sham yechata. The case of the udim is that it's going to extinguish without. I don't know, that's what it says here. Yeah, that's what it says. Maybe you'll make it higher. Where does it say that? How does he know that that's what the Taz means? I don't know. You have the Shulchan Shlomo? He is. I know he is saying the Taz. I know this. Take it. I learned it. I know it בעל פה. I know exactly what it looks like. I remember exactly what it sounds like. He says he brings the Taz, and he says that the Taz only said it in such a case. Rebbe, Rebbe, I don't agree with you. I don't know what mechta is. And lefi zeh I want a mechadesh takanah. I hold a halacha l'maaseh. You want a chiddush lahalacha? You want a chiddush lahalacha? A rav who doesn't have chiddushim lahalacha is not a good rav. Nobody understands. That's just the way it is. You talk anyway. Don't read it. The last piece. No, no. The last page. Right there. Right there, right there. No, no, no. Good. ... נראה לי דאף על פי שמותר להתחמם נגד המדורה, כי ... סוף סימן ... מכל מקום אין לשבת בסמוך אצל ... העודים, כי יש לחוש שיגע בהם כדי שיבערו היטב, כדי שעושים במדורה, שמהפכים בזנבות עודים כדי שלא תכבה המדורה. ... What? No, he said. I said, but I disagree with him. No, he's not. He's reading עכשיו. ... תרבה, תרבה, ריבוי. Make it bigger. Yeah. כדי ש... ... שלא תרבה. Yeah, look at the source. It doesn't read well. Okay, yeah, go ahead. Source. Look at the source. You know what I think he means, כדי שלא תרבה? I'm madur because it's all over the place. It says תכבה, here it says תרבה, you see? I was right. It says תכבה here. כדי שלא תכבה. It's mashma if it's not going to be תכבה, there's no reason why you should do it. If you're using a gas range, it's not going to go out. Yeah, but that's not necessarily what he means. No. Yeah, no. But there's no שם תכבה. Why? Why should it be that way? Because that's what people play with the fire for. You don't stop playing with the fire. Yeah, maybe I want it hotter. Regular madurah, I don't know if this... add more things, new things. In a madurah, what he means is the stuff that's burning that came out of the fire. You're pushing it back. So then how is it... how does it become higher? I want to fill the stuff that's already burning, put it back inside the fire. So then how is it... so then it becomes higher? Because it was originally level five, now you bring it back to the fire. It shouldn't go out, but if it's not going to go out, it's always the same strength. ... When you want to read L'or HaMedurah, it has to do with what, that it's going to extinguish? No, it's that you'll make it more. Yes, it is. It has to do with shema yateh. Shema yateh, because the oil misachsech and it bothers you, and that's why you want to make it clearer. That's not a good fire, in other words. Rav Adda has the same svara by shema yateh, by the—you're reading next to a table lamp. No, it's a stable light, no problem. Bring in that Rav Adda yourself. Because he asers afilu... Because you see, I'll tell you how I know that you're wrong. Because the Torah Shleimah that says that it's mutar, im loy bedavar shetzarich iyun rab, v'likra k'negedo, az chashishin l'shema yateh.

In the same story, reading next to the madura, the second sheet told us no problem. Why is there no problem? Because when our ... yechata. Unless you do it for the reading. Point is, don't do the reading. What does reading change anything? Because by the reading it's shema yarbeh. You understand? It's two different things, he said. One is iyun gadol, oi likrois. It's two different stories. Okay, let's look up. I always understood that since you need more light. Go ahead, read it, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right, and then what is he going to do? He said it has nothing to do with the fact that it's getting extinguished. Either he's very occupied, he himself also said ... There has to be a reason why you're doing it. You're not going to— Yeah, but that's a svara. It's not mukhach. It's mukhach from this Taz. I don't know, why is it mukhach? I'm just saying it's in the words, that's all. Rebbe said that it's not in the words; it's here. No, yeah, I'm saying ... that it means that al shem a tichbeh, so when it's not al shem a tichbeh, it's not negeia. Yeah, but the shem yechateh could be either way. I don't know, is that mukhach? That's the shem yechateh? Is that mukhach? I'm saying that's the only time you have a shem yechateh. Again, I'll tell you what my reason is. You want to know what my reason is? Just like I want it hotter so I can cook the food, I want it hotter because my fingers are frozen. I have a small fire Friday night, I'm putting my finger there, so I'm afraid. I'll tell you, he says himself. Let's say, let's say he says if you're choshesh, Rav Shlomo Zalman continues, if you're afraid, then you have to put a heker. Means if there's a reason to be choshesh, if there's a sevara to say you might do it, so then you have to have a heker. I don't know, I don't know. You see, I wasn't sure. I spoke it out in Lakewood. I wasn't sure. Does he mean this? Does he mean that it's nichlal in the shem yichata? Because then there's a reason for shema yichata. Stam, he's giving you an eitzah tovah, kamashma lan, you need a heker, you shouldn't come to mechalel Shabbos. You know what they talk about? They talk about it. Do you have to take off the toilet paper from the thing on Shabbos, from the roll on Shabbos? I saw some poskim from Eretz Yisrael. Shema yichata. The Torah says it's not muchach, huh? Shema yachtoch. Whatever. But why? In general, do you always have to cover all the lights on Shabbos? Shema yichata. I'm telling you this shaila. Again, it sounds more like him. If you're this type of person, maybe. If you didn't, derabbanan, if you didn't do it, you're going to pay for it in Shamayim. But you yourself personally know you're the type. Stam, he's telling him a frumkeit. He's telling him, Rav Shlomo Zalman giving you good advice. That's what it sounds like. I don't know. Not muchach. Not muchach. That was basically. Why is it not something direct l'shiyur? Why don't you say everybody has to do it? We don't say that, Oh, I'm strong, I'm not going to do this. No, I'm not going to. We mean a few feel. Have you ever seen the din derabbanan, a few feel this way, so you make a heker. I don't know. I'm saying, you're saying a sevara, I'll do another. I mean, chacham said if it's something which will be mechubeh, then there's a din that I have to worry. And if it's not something that's mechubeh, but I want it higher, that I don't have to worry. Why not? As far as, it doesn't make sense. If you wanted it more. But you came in — I'm saying the Torah came on Shabbos, I'm telling you. I mean, I know you don't know. You're saying, I see you don't know. ... The Chacham said this yen, this and that. So Reb Shimon Zalman is doing like that in the Taz. All right, maybe, yeah, but the sevara doesn't make sense. There's no sevara to mechalek. Chalo. There's no sevara to mechalek. You understand what I'm talking about? Could you repeat over everything we just said? Repeat. The whole thing from the beginning till the end. See if you can repeat it. He said to make a big fire on Shabbos in the... a bonfire. On Shabbos, I know. So it's not supposed to make a bonfire on Shabbos, and erev Shabbos there's not enough time to have... Shalehet oleh me'eleha, then you're not allowed. That's what it says here, right? So one second. So there's four categories. There's one category where I make fire for food — that's shem yechateh, v'eini garuf v'katum. There's another category where I do it — one second, no, I do it, but it's not pshat I want food, but I want the fire, I want the food. In other words, not the food to eat, but the food to get...

Hot. The water to get hot for cooking, for cleaning pots. Okay, all right? For cleaning pots. Then there's another sugya that I even want to cook the water, but not for it, but for the heat, Reb Shimon. And then I have our siman, and our siman is that I don't even want—I want the thing itself. I want the thing to burn, not for it to cook something. I want the firewood, direct heat from the firewood. So that's our siman, okay? So it comes out that as long as it's shall heveso lemeilah, it's mutar; there's no shem yechata of the food. That's how I set up the halacha, okay? So then I come and say, but k'neged a medurah would be mutar, according to this. But then the Taz comes along and says it's not. Now where did the Taz come from? And the Teretz says he made up a sevara, right? Shem yechata. He didn't learn it from anywhere. He just made a sevara that's just like any other time that there's shem yechata. What's the makar? Medam milsa l'milsa. Thank you, thank you, thank you, that's what I'm talking about. Medam milsa l'milsa. So fine, whatever it is, it's that. Okay, medam milsa l'milsa. Comes Reb Shimon Zalman and he said only in such a case that the thing will be mechubev, not—that's not the regular case of shem yechata, right? The stories of shem yechata is not when it's mechubev. That's this seif. I don't know, but this seif is not even talking about where I'm standing next to the medurah, shall heveso lemeilah. So what do you want? So you compare it to regular shem yechata, so compare it. I might want it hotter. I don't know where it comes from. You have to make up your mind where it comes from. If it comes from the regular din of shem yechata, and then the question becomes, maybe always there's a shem yechata. Every time a person is choshesh that he might do an issur Shabbos, there's a gezeirah shem yechata; he might come to do it. I mean, who says where does shtedimu milsa l'milsa? Where does it stop? I don't know why, I just feel very strongly about this. The way I explained, do you understand what bothers me? You're saying there's a svara of shema yechata, but then you're saying it's only in certain cases. Who said? That's not the regular case of shema yechata. That's not the regular case of shema yechata. Yeah, so what do you want? I don't understand. Shema yechata, he made up a... hestam he made up a new thing that some guy might come to do an issur on Shabbos, so what do you want? I don't understand. The Taz is telling you good advice. You should be careful not to be mechalel Shabbos. I mean, what does he want exactly? Teretz is an issur. You're not allowed to do it. It's a good svara. The oilam had enough from this. I zoomed in on the Taz, and the oilam couldn't get away from it. I mean, what are you doing? I'm asking a kasha. I mean, what is this Taz, a good advice? Ela mai, it's halacha, shema yechata. So shema yechata is not only this. So I'm asking, so what is he? He's telling you advice? Yeah, I want to do it, you know, something I want to do. Why can't I do it? Who says I can't do it? I want to sit next to the bonfire. I want to. But don't sit so close, because by bonfires it's people's derech to play with the zah, to play with the sticks. And who made up this issur? The Taz, he made it up. Notice that. Meduyak, ... This, the Taz said, oh, next to bonfires there's problems with these flames, with the sticks, so don't do it even when you're warming. From the reading, he takes to the warming. That's what the ... Maybe it's only by reading; it's not even ... My point is, it's not stam by any fire that you can't sit next to it and get ... Rebbe would be able to do this next to a candle, there's no problem. It's not called shemiyachat. It's by a bonfire, by a bonfire, it's so big, people get up, like this, they push something inside. It's not any fire. It's not any fire. I understand, but you said— I understand. Is it nichlal in the shem yat? It's not shem yat. So then what is it? I don't think it's even called shem yachat of a regular ... Then what is it? Shem yachat of a medurah, which is not— But who made that up? There is already a sugya like that. There's no ... it's not true. You just made up words. That's sugya shem yat. It's nichlal in shem yat. It's not called yat. ... So what are the Taz talking about? In the same way that you shouldn't be sitting too close to play with a medurah, because something might happen. Right. So I'm asking you a question: if, let's say, you want to warm your hands next to a fire and there's a chashash shem yichat, why not fire, gas? It's a different thing. Rebbe asked from—

Again, I'm asking you a simple thing. Is there such a takanah that if you're going to sit next to something which might cause the michal Shabbos, and I'll do that? Is that what you're telling me? No. So then I have no idea what you're talking about. Why don't you tell me? You just told me not to sit next to madur, because you might push the thing in. Did you just tell me that? It's not any chashash. A person's going to say, you know what, I might walk... So I'm asking you a question. So who decided what כן and what not? The chacham did not. The Taz is not the chacham. Taz made it up. What do you mean? Shema yateh. He's going back into the gezeirah of shema yateh. What do you mean? Chacham said shema yateh. You might, when you read next to a fire, you might shema yateh to fix the fire more. What do you think shema yateh is? That's what, I might make the fire better. What is shema yateh? What's the difference with that shema yateh? That's the case of the Gemara. The bonfire reading is the case of the Gemara. I understand that, but that's the... So if you understood that, then... So I'm asking you, so again, where did the Taz come from? The Taz is, by the way, I feel that my house is a problem. He thinks it's exactly the same thing, just like... He thinks that it's exactly the same thing, so I feel that it's exactly the same thing by putting your hands next to a fire to warm up your hands. You might come to shema yateh. Is there a derech for a person to... Yeah, there is a derech. Usually I'd rather do that. When my hands are cold, I go next to the fire, and if it's very small, I make it bigger because I need more. No? Radiator. We don't do that in the fire. So let me tell you about how they do it in the real world. In the real world, I don't know about... Let's say they have a radiator, right? It's not on high, it's on low, and you want to warm yourself up. No, you make it higher. What do you mean? Those people. So let me tell you something. You have one of those radiators you plug into a wall, okay? And you hit, and it's very on low and it's cold. You go next to it, you might put it up because you're cold. So that's mutar, asur, according to this. That's exactly what I'm trying to get. He says it's not true. He just says, I just made it up. It's a warning. Anything you might... What's the difference? You don't say k'derech shemehachin. It's not anything. Oh, I might turn on my blender because the morning I make myself juice. Take it away, put it somewhere else. He's just saying that this is like electric appliances as well. Correct, correct. But is it true? I don't know. It is true. I mean, I do it. But it's not normal. When I'm cold, I bring it up. But the guy is on that. It's true that... But the Taz was also not gozer on that. He made it up. You just told me the Taz made it up. You didn't say a washer. If you do a wash every morning, don't take your washer put it in the garage. He went from a madurah to a madurah. He can't jump to a completely... Oh, you decided that you can go from— because the key word is madurah here. Okay, okay. That's how you learn the Taz, no problem. Okay, good. Because of madurah, I decided madurah. You don't have to worry about it. You don't have to worry about anything but a madurah, okay? It doesn't say that. The Mechaber talks about reading Shema yatza, which is the regular case of the Gemara. When you're reading, this... Shema yatza is not about a madurah. Shema yatza is about a fire. Any candle, shemay yata, you know that? What's the technique? Shemay yata is not to do with madura. Shemay yata is by candle. So he's saying that by madura you have the same shemay yata. Same shemay yata. Worse. Here it's worse. Whatever it is, but it has to do with shemay yata. It's in the takanah of shemay yata. So good, there's a takanah. Shemay yata is a special takanah. So by a madura, so by madura, shemay yata. So he's coming to say shemay yata even without reading. Who said? He said it. Okay, why? Because you come to shemay yachat, because you might come to push the thing in. And it's over here. It's in the sugya of shemay yachat of our sugya. He didn't say it in Reish Ayin Hey. He says it here. It's brought down here. It's brought down in the siman of shemay yachat over here. It's brought down here, shemay yachat. So he made up that there's a shemay yachat by madura because you want more heat or you want to fix your thing. He says it. So I'm asking, who decided? Something is mechabeh, or who said? Maybe you have a shemay yata every time you want more heat. When you're sitting next to something that could be made higher, you might have a chashash. Something that could be made higher, you could have a chashash of shemay yata. Well, what's so difficult to understand? If you learn the Taz, it's peshut. It's peshut. You'll say a certain case. Who said?

Okay, next sif. Next sif. All right? Kius, let's go. Next sif. Go ahead, read the next sif. Go ahead, Kius. Okay. Question is, how come we don't do it b'zman hazeh? Next. Seeded donuts, they work. He has koach. You have to feed them. That's how it's like. You feed them and they work good. Next siman, Rebbe. Siman, let's go. Reish nun vav. That's it. Finish, we finished. That's it. What else do you want to do? Huh? So what? Next, read it. Kius, you're supposed to blow shofar Erev Shabbos. You do that? You know that? You blow shofar Erev Shabbos in barpa. They don't blow shofar. Barpa, every siren is to outdo the other guy siren. How many sirens do they have, like six, seven? No, but different people do it different times. Now they put music on. Now they put music. Okay, let's go back to... They start doing the music Shabbos. They do that. That's the new shtick. Very nice. Beautiful visions. Visions. People drive very dangerous. Now they're more calm. They listen to music now. Okay, let's go. And each chassid has their own music. You'll see. Each guy put up their own thing, because your niggun is not like my niggun. Go ahead, yeah. Go ahead, read. כשהיו ישראל בישובן, היו תוקעין בערב שבת שש תקיעות, כדי להבדיל בין העם מן המלאכה. Okay, next. ונעקרו בקהילות הקדושות שכל שהוא סמוך לשבת כחצי שעה או שעה, שמכריז שליח ציבור להכין עצמן לשבת, והוא במקומות... Okay, now, does this Rama come to say that we don't do the tekiah at all, but rather we have a different minhag? Or is this Rama saying is we really would love to do the tekiah, but we can't because we live in Poland, and Ivan's going to come with his dog and bite me if I do it, so therefore I don't do that? Is that what this minhag kilus is, or the minhag— which one is it? Is the minhag kilus saying that there's no tekiah, or is the minhag kilus saying, listen, this is the best we can do today, so might as well do it this way? ... That's a she'eilah. ... Look at the Biur Halacha. You see clearly Biur Halacha learns it's the tekiah. The hachrazah today is the tekiah of the past. ... Go ahead. ... Even Yom Tov Erev Shabbos, you still have to be machriz. ... Even Yom Tov Erev Shabbos, you got to be machriz. Okay. My new thing is that I'm going to do— I'm going to set this up, because in Lakewood they don't do this. I don't know why. Maybe the Rav ... didn't ... They don't keep it. ... Yeah. Take care of it, take care of it. Wow. ... Queens, all the fire engines start running if you blow the siren. Go ahead, yeah. So let's see the Mishnah Berurah now. It says in the Mishnah Berurah, when are you supposed to do it? Go ahead, yeah. You have to do it. If you have a calendar, you have time. I'll do it. Let me count. We have count. Go ahead, let's read. Maybe, maybe we have calendars today. You don't have to do it, maybe. It's good. Maybe he's right. Go ahead, let's see inside, yeah? Yeah. Which one? Second. All of them, all the Mishnah Beruras. Read the Mishnah Beruras. So, I just want to tell you what I said yesterday. The kids are light, it's getting light, and then you'll see why people want to get rid of me over there. That's what happens. The shiur is growing by leaps and bounds. Tons of people coming now. You know why? Because they never heard such emes, the emes, the truth. I tained that, you know, this, the Olam HaTorah is very, very—what's the word?—they have phobia. They have tremendous phobia if you daven Shabbos early, you know that. If you mekabel Shabbos early, and you daven Maariv before the zman, Friday, mamish they have phobia. And you know their phobia? To the extent that they have a minhag: they mekabel Shabbos early because of the kids, they eat the meal, and then they go back to daven Maariv b'tzibur. What? That's the new shtick in Lakewood. The olam davens Maariv after the Shabbos meal.

They make Kiddush before. They have a shayber because of this man, because of the ma'ariv. So because that's the yeshiva's shtick. The yeshiva's shtick today is daven to have Kabbalas Shabbos, the seudah Shabbos, and then go back to shul for Ma'ariv. You like it? Good shtick. So what do I? I come right out of Radin, right? Radin, Pinsk, and in Radin and Pinsk they used to daven Shabbos. They daven Shabbos early, early. They made an early Shabbos. And I hold they didn't make early Shabbos in the summer. They made an early Shabbos in the winter. And I even hold more. Listen here carefully. It's better to make an early Shabbos in the winter than to make it in the summer. Instead of making it in the summer, they should make the early Shabbos in the winter. What they should do is, three o'clock in the afternoon, they should have Mincha, Kabbalas Shabbos, and Ma'ariv, and go home and make Kiddush. Not in the summer. In the winter. Ayin Shaar HaTziyun, se'if katan. Ayin Shaar HaTziyun, se'if katan. Okay, so now you're going to learn hafuch. Everything is hafuch in this world. Now you're going to learn the hafuch. You ready? Ayin Shaar HaTziyun, se'if katan. Ay, I can't take the different Mishnah Berurah. I'm lost here. Give me back the Mishnah Berurah. No, I'm lost here. Give me my old Mishnah Berurah. Yeah, okay. I want you to look at se'if katan, se'if katan, hey. Go ahead, read. ... Kabbalas Shabbos should be early. You know why? Because people, if you make Kabbalas Shabbos later, they'll wait till the last minute. They're not going to listen to the tekios; we don't even have them today. Who reminds the oilam about Shabbos? So they'll wait till the last minute, and then they're going to run to shul. It's going to be Shabbos already, too late. They'll work into Shabbos. So what do you do? Make Kabbalas Shabbos early, and then you wait for Baruchu. But then he says that we don't even wait for Baruchu either. Continue, yeah? ... אבל בימינו אם יתנהגו כן, לא יצאו לנו הרבה בזה. They're not going to come for Kabbalas Shabbos. Who's going to come for Kabbalas Shabbos? They'll work straight through Kabbalas Shabbos, thinking that it's not Shabbos yet, and then they're going to come for Maariv. Continue, yeah? ... עצת הגדולים. You hear? The big gedolim said this. What did they say you're supposed to do? ... כדי ש... השבת החמורה. So what do you do? ... עד מהנכון מאוד שכשיבוא לביתם יחזור ויקרא קריאת שמע. Oh, so they should read Kriyas Shema. You're davening Maariv before this zman, okay? Now, does this chashash is where? Only on the early Shabbosim. The later Shabbosim, you have plenty of time. I mean, you finish your work at six o'clock, you come home. It's the three o'clock Shabbos, it's the four o'clock Shabbos. People are rushing to the last minute. So the best thing is to daven Shabbos early and daven Maariv early, I Kriyas Shema, you Kriyas Shema after. I people are not going to read the Kriyas Shema afterwards. So he says a meyridige chiddush, so don't worry about it. You'll be yotzei with Kriyas Shema al hamitah. How many parshiyos does he want you to read? Go ahead, read. Read a short Tziyun, a peldige short Tziyun. Go ahead, nu. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... תוספות. תוספות. One parsha. I don't know. I didn't make this up. I'm not taking any responsibility. I didn't make it up. I'm just reading you Mishnah Berurah. I don't know, maybe even one pasuk. Good enough. You're in Europe. In Europe, it's a lot different than America. Someone told me the ... Has v'shalom, you're not allowed to make ... Shabbos. It's unheard of. It's not true. It's not true. You see, Mishnah Berurah did it on the regular Shabbos. Forget about those ... They did it in the winter also. That's what they did in Europe. That's what they did. They used to daven Maariv Friday afternoon. They used to daven Maariv in the winter. Why? I ... don't worry about ... We read Kriyas Shema al hamitah. It's good enough. How come it's out of ... How come nobody knows this? Nobody knows the Sha'ar HaTziyun. I was telling you that the olam was like ... I said, here, you want to rewrite history? Rewrite history. They claim that nobody in Europe davened early. Liars. They're lying. They're lying. What do you say? It's open Sha'ar HaTziyun. Hachraza. So what is hachraza shliach tzibbur? What does it mean? So what's the ... bizman hazeh? Should it maybe you should make phone call? Maybe a phone call or ... I don't know. Hachraza shliach ...

Maybe takkeh should make this loud noise, maybe tekiah. I don't know. What's called hachrazas liyotzibur? And if you can make tekiah and yotzei with hachrazah, I don't know. How do you learn this Rama? Is this Rama because b'emes you need the tekiah, yotzei with hachrazah? I don't know. It's not clear, not clear. No? אז לא היו מבינים, לוח זה, שם, היום יש לוח, יש... You know, every email starts off with when Shabbos begins, when Shabbos ends. The only problem is that he might get overconfident with his job. They give you a receipt. What's that going to help? I don't know, but you know what time is it. He wants you to come out, yeah, he wants you to come out and send people to the stores to stop people from working. Mishnah Berurah, look at the Mishnah Berurah. He's supposed to send people to the stores. Tell me something: should you tell a guy who is working, who has a shver parnassah, that he should takkeh stop an hour and a half before Shabbos, or he's allowed to work till two seconds before Shabbos? You tell him, stop working. That's your Mishnah Berurah. When you write a Mishnah Berurah without Ahavas Yisrael, that's how you write it. But the Mishnah Berurah had tremendous Ahavas Yisrael, and he wrote differently than you. Look at the Sha'ar HaTziyun, se'if katan gimmel. Sha'ar HaTziyun? No, I'm sorry, beis. ... go ahead. ... כמו שעושים ... לשקיעה, וזהו מצד שרובם העניים ... להפסיד את השבת, וזה לא נוכל למחול בידם. ... כן, מוחין בידם, yeah, therefore what? אבל באמת אם אינו דחוק לזה, ... You can't force people to stop working two minutes before Shabbos. Can't do it. Better let them work till two minutes before Shabbos, and the rav in the shul should make the minyan early. That's what he should do. A smart rav should do that. I want you to know something. I want you to know something. The older I get, the more I understand my father. My father decided years ago that he's going to daven not late, not late, but earlier. He davens Shabbos earlier. But he tells them to come straight from work. Nothing. Come from work. Come straight from work. It's this nekudah. You can't stop the guy from working before Shabbos. You're not allowed to do that. It doesn't say that. It doesn't say you're allowed to stop someone from working right before Shabbos. He has no money. So what do you do? The rav is smart. He makes the early minyan. They work anyway. I'm talking about today. I'm talking about when they came off the boats. I remember the tekufah when they came off the boats, okay? Used to send them to work and tell them, come straight from work. Five minutes, shower, and come to daven. That's all. I remember this. I remember this was— and we davened early because of that. They knew they had to come from Mincha Maariv to shul. That was it. They came to shul. After a while, ...
