Re: Fish on Rosh Hashanah/simcha


We discussed this at Pesach time, see avodah vol 4 #474.

Whether you need real meat is also in Sha'agas Arye, see Beitza 10b 'asi
l'imnuyei m'simchas Y"T' referring to not being able to shecht birds.
R' Ovadya Yosef collects some more sources in Yechave Da'as on this.

Certainly those who take simcha to mean parallel to korbanos would object
to chicken, fish, or venison. However, whether that is the majority
view of Rishonim or achronim is debatable.

Thoughts on Yom Kippur Viduy (nusach)


It was noted in a lecture by a cantoral student from the Belz School, that
all the popular melodies to Ashamnu are in a major key.
Why?

This motif actually suggests that the process of unburdening ourselves is
actually a cause for joy!

How does this work?

  Imagine a King who offers complete amnesty for all crimes on one
  condition, that on one day all subjects gather and confess any and all
  misdeeds; and that as soon as the confession is complete we are granted
  amnesty. Wouldn't this bring tremendous relief?

So too with the viduy/confession.  As soon as we acknowledge what we have
done, G-d pardons.  What a concept! What a Relief!

"Shaarei Tshuvah" 6


    We come now to the last of the sixth instances in which you're likely to 
be moved to tshuvah:
    Upon recognizing that you might "greet G-d" (i.e., pass away) at any 
moment
    Unlike the previous entry, this last one is rather lengthy, and 
challenges us to do our best to encapsulate its essence.
    Rabbeinu Yonah points out that we'd do well to scrutinize our ways, 
confess, and fear Hashem all the time, because one never knows when his end 
will come (¶15). Apparently that's RY's advice for avoiding aveiros, since he 
then underscores the fact that we're to be even more *proactive* as well, by 
doing new mitzvot every day (¶16). 
    The truth be known, RY continues, some people are as oblivious to death 
as animals are, and do nothing to prepare for it (¶17). He then elaborates on 
the character of such individuals. Some of them live only to satisfy their 
earthly cravings rather than to serve Hashem. They're said to stay rooted to 
the earth after death (¶18). And others of them are hidden sinners who 
descend to the nether world after death (when the secretly righteous join the 
angels above). 
    That having been considered we're thus counseled to be wise and to see 
this world as as short-lived as a bird's shadow flitting by. And to only use 
it in the service of Hashem (¶19). In fact, the whole point of Sefer Kohelet 
is to impress upon us the fact that the world is vacuous, and should only be 
used in the service of Hashem (¶20). 
    G-d sent us to this world, RY adds, to keep His watch and to observe His 
mitzvot. We're to obey our charge, and thus return to Him as His faithful, 
happy servant (¶21). So always remember the fact of death in order not to 
slacken off in your service to G-d (¶22). Forget the fact of death, though, 
and you’ll think you have a lot of time to accomplish things, when you don’t 
(¶23). Recall as well that as long as you're alive, you have a chance to do 
tshuvah and to grow (¶24). 
    Always remember that you're derived from a turgid drop and where you're 
destined to go, and you'll use this world to serve G-d. Remember as well that 
you'll be giving a reckoning to G-d someday, and you'll fear Him (¶25).
    RY's last point is that it's important to always take tochacha to heart, 
reflect and expand upon it on your own, to do as much as you can to improve 
yourself, and to study Torah as soon and as often as you can for a multitude 
of vital reasons (¶26-¶34).

Bar Mitzvah before Yom Kippur


The following are the various answers I received to the query I posed last
week (including my own response), both on and off-line:

----------

See very first parsha of Eliyahu Rabba dibbur hamaschil "davar achair
yamim": Loose translation:

Yom Kippur was is a great simcha before Hashem and was given to Israel with
great love.  This can compared ("mashal l'ma hadavar domeh") to a king of
flesh and blood whose servants and household were taking out the garbage and
throwing it near the entrance of the king's home.  When the king would go
out and see the garbage, he would be very happy ("sameach simcha gedolah").
Thus Yom Kippur is compared to this, as Hashem gave it with great love and
happiness.  And not only this, but when Hashem forgives the sins of Israel,
he is not sad in his heart but he is very happy and says to the hills and
valleys...come and be happy with me, as I am forgiving the sins of Israel.

---------

"Gilu b'Re'ada" - Tehillim

"Ani smachti mitoch yirasi v'yar'eisi mitoch simchasi" - Tanna D'Bei Eliyahu

I believe the Melamed l'Hoil was asked if you can get married during Aseres 
Yemei Teshuva and he responded that  he certainly hoped so because he 
(RDZH) was married during the Aseres Yemei Teshuva!
------------------

R' Ovadiah addresses such a minhag not to get married during the AYT.
He says lihefech -- it's a good z'chus to bring with you into Yom Kippur!

-----------------

Although I would strongly advise against it, since even if there is no
stirah it is still not the proper way to prepare for yom hadin (it is
certainly hesech hada'as, if nothing else), how about "gilu biradah"?
Or the lo hayu yamim tovim l'yisrael k'mo ... yom hakippurim ... bnos
Yisroel yotzos v'cholos bakramim [Mishnah Taanit 4:8]? (Although that was
basically after Neilah.)

ein hachi nami we can have different criteria...
lemoshol:
1) brought on the mizbeyach
2) requires shechita
3) fulfils taavo (otherwise just what was Moshe Rabbeinu's
hava amino to suggest fish instead of fowl?)

I did take a peak at Vol #474

My original query remains, i.e:
"Are there any sources stating that: 'yes, fish is yotzei'".

(and it is quite conceivable that chicken might have been a
"poor man's compromise for 'bossor'")

Every meal? no chicken? I understand the shita of the Shaagas aryeh that 
holds that  aimcha means basar vyayin  but there are other shitos that learn 
that the drasha is doraisa when we have a Beis HaMikdash.

Fish on Rosh Hashannah


I don't recall seeing the citation of an obvious reference in Tanach to
the obligation of dining well on Rosh Hashannah.  It can be found in
Nechemiah 8:, "Ezra brought the (sefer) Torah before the assemblage...on
the first day of the seventh month.  And he read from it.. from daylight
until noon..(Neh. 8: 2,3)... Nechemiah (the governor) and Ezra Hakohen,
the scribe..said to the people do not mourn and do not cry (after
hearing the Tochachah in Ki Tavo) for today is holy for Hashem your
G-D...He said to them, 'Go eat heartily, drink fine (wine), and send
portions to those who haven't prepared them.. All the people then went
to eat and drink, to send portions and to rejoice greatly..(ibid 9-12)."

If I remember correctly, these verses are the source for the obligation
of dining on meat and wine on Yom Tov as well as the talmudic aphorism
that Yom Tov is half for G-D and half for us.  If so, then the view of
those who do not consider Rosh Hashannah as a Yom Tov in this connection
requires an explanation.

Surprisingly, the gemara is very clear that eating meat was a kiyum of simchah 
only bizman habayis.  Bizman hazeh ein simchah ela beyayin.  The Rambam says 
that you still need meat, and the Beis Yosef says the Rambam is shver because of
the gemara.  See the Ein Mishpat in Pesachim 109a for the exact references.

Mimetics tells me that we follow the opinion of the Shulchan Aruch and the 
simple reading of the gemara that drinking wine on Yom Tov is a sufficient 
kiyum.

It is said that the Ari did not say yigdal while the Sheloh praised yigdal.
It is not clear what the objections to yigdal were.
R. David Cohen claims that yigdal was written by an Italian poet who also
wrote love poems and that was the objection. I personally have grave problems
with that approach. RYBS objected to yigdal in that it was to close to
Xtian ideas of listing ones beliefs.

Not every request is a tefilla. I request things all the time from human
beings. I can even ask them to pray to God on my behalf. And the old one:
I'm machmir with my wife. Mach mir a glos tei, mach mir a sendvich.

A request is a tefila only when addressed to a supernatural being.
So the question is: who or what are Makhnisei rahamim, midat harahamim,
bamarom yelamedu aleinu, barekhuni leshalom malakhei hashalom, etc.

As I believe I wrote in a previous posting, I usually skip them all but
sometimes say midat harahamim with the corrected text. Not only is a mida
not a being, supernatural or otherwise, but asking someone or something to
pray to God on my behalf sounds better to me than making it/him/her into
a shaliach. I believe in direct contact and have absolutely no knowledge
or understanding about the routing and bureaucracy of HKBH'S household.

R'SY Weinberg ztl gave a very strong shmooze regarding this when 
the Artscroll Slichos came out.
In essence he said that 100% we are not making a bakosha to
the maloch. Rather, it's b'geder "Ana Melech Malchei haOlamim, 
tzavei l'malachecha..." in Ribon Kol HaOlamim.
(He said some *very* strong things, but as it's been several years, I'll
see if I can get hold of a tape before I quote from memory.)

The Rosh HaYeshiva ztl dealt with this as well. 
( I still have not reviewed a tape, all mistakes are mine)
b'kiztur:
Tefila = bakosha (request)
A bakosha to a maloch is 100% assur.
A tefila (request) to basar v'dom is permitted (asking a favor is tefila)
The difference between a human and a maloch (or anything else)
is that a person has bechira. 
The maloch here has no bechira -if the tefila to HKBH is said properly,
the maloch *must* deliver properly...
Again, he was m'dama it to "...tzavai l'malochecha...ki hidlakti nairosai..."

I tend to agree.  Although it is NOT phrased that way at all
I suspect the paytan was meaning it as a request that HKBH
make sure that His malachim preform their tasks enthusiastically...
I think that this is a case of poetic license.

After all does anyone think that
"Keil Melech Yosheiv al kisei Rachamim"
violates "ein lo dmus haguf"?

There are many poskim who discuss this.  IIRC, the Chasam Sofer agrees with his 
father-in-law on this.  The Netziv in his peirush al haTorah (on "velo ariach 
berei'ach nichochachem") agrees as well.  I think R. Moshe Shternbuch also 
discusses this in his Moadim Uzmanim.  R. Yechiel Michel Tukitchinsky has an 
excellent treatment of this topic in his Ir HaKodesh VeHamikdash.

IIRC, the main problem that everyone has is that we don't know where the 
mizbeach should be.

During R' Akiva's time, they still had Para Aduma ashes - no problem, then, 
ascending the HhB.

The definite exposition (upon which my shiur, available on tape, is based) 
of why we cannot resotre Avodas Ha'Korbonso, is in R' Dovid Friedman (the 
She'eilas Dovid)'s rebuttal or R' TZH Kalischer's Derishas Tziyon

Nicha. But how do you explain the shul which (apparently) existed 
on Har HaBayis from the 7th through the 11th centuries? Unless 
you argue that we actually did know which parts are more kadosh 
and which less kadosh at that time and have since forgotten (which 
seems to me to be far fetched), how were people allowed to go 
onto Har HaBayis to a shul (which at least at one time was 
apparently located where Al-Aqsa is today)?

Well that is one of the main points of ikkarim in the first place.
i.e. to distinguish us from Xtians, Moslems, Karaites, Sadduccess, etc.

Now I'm curious if perhaps RYBS was speaking
in the context of a post-Reform era
when a "belief" system has often been falsely construed as a
substitute for observance?

I would also suggest that w/o Ikkarim the geirus process today
would be very difficult.  By outlining what Torah stands for
it implies what a "geir" is leaving.

I thought the problem he had was *reciting* those beliefs during the prayer 
services.

I was under the impression that each of those sforim in Avinu 
Malkeinu has three components (tzadikim, reshaim and beinonim), 
but I have no real basis for saying that.

We actually do know some part of the HhB - on the north side, where there 
is no original wall - that were definitely not part of the original HhB. 
The Shul was likely over there. Otherwise it was a gagin, aliyos or 
mechilin type structure.

I have no idea. The walls there are definitely original. So far as I know, 
R' Mordechai Eliyahu's proposal was for the North Side. Tzarich iyun.

Shut She'eilas Dovid. The sefer is ba'nimtza, and, if not, it is on the Bar
