Noach – A Flood of Complaints

 

Breishis 7:6 “ …and the flood waters were upon the face of the earth.”

 

Rav Avrohom Abish Feld the great Rav in Frankfurt before World War II

was once faced with a very unenviable decision to make. The members

of the Shul suspected that the Chazan was lax in his observance of

Mitsvos and the board had decided to replace him. The Chazan came to

plead with the Rav to overturn their decision.

 

“My dear Rav” he began “You of all people know how effective my

Tefillos are in Shamayim! When I davened Tefillas Geshem (the prayer

for rain) on Shemini Atzeres, scarcely had I uttered the words when rain

appeared!”

 

R' Abish recoginized the arrogance of the chazan and his unsuitability

for the position.

 

“Yes my dear chazan I know,” responded Rav Abish. “But you know

that you are not the first to have these powers. There were others who

were equally effective at bringing the rain and they were called the

“Dor Hamabul” – the generation of the Flood!”

 

 

kiddush sponsorship

Kiddish is sponsored by Aish in honor of R David Ordan’s promotion to Director of Aish Campus. Rabbi Ordan revolutionized Aish LA’s Outreach efforts, attracting thousands to hip events through email marketing and launching our Israel Adventure young professional missions. In addition to retaining his position as Director of Outreach, R Ordan will be leading Aish LA onto the campus scene with the goal of having the same positive effects on the local students as Aish LA has done with the Young Professionals throughout LA.

 

Kiddush is also being anonymously sponsored.

 

seudah shlishis

Dr. Jacob Pelta is sponsoring Seudah Shlishis on completion of Meseches Brachos and in memory of his beloved master teacher R Jacob N. Goldberg whose Yarzheit falls on 11 Cheshvan. Love of Torah was instilled by this Rabbi and the Siyum is one culmination of the road he started me on.

 

Daniel and Rebbeca Klempner are sponsoring Seudah Shlishis in thanks to Hashem that their son Paltiel no longer needs eye surgery to open his tear duct.

Advanced Halachic Bulletin

Mishne Brura: Since today it is very common to make lemon juice, it is prohibited to squeeze lemons on Shabbos for drinking.

It is permitted to squeeze fruit (even grapes and olives) onto a solid food.

Shmiras Shabbos: Most of the juice must be absorbed into the food for this leniency to apply.

Most Poskim prohibit squeezing lemon into tea (apparently, even when the lemon is submerged and the juice is never a separate entity.

Most authorities permit to squeeze the lemon onto sugar (so that it is absorbed), and then add the sugar to the water or tea.

One may also put a lemon slice into a drink or into tea that is not too hot (less than 113° F or in a Kli Shlishi) without squeezing.

 

Have a wonderful Shabbos!!
