Ki Setse – A bird’s nest hairdo |
Devorim 22:6 “If a bird’s nest happens to be before you on the way…..” One day, Rav Ezra Attia, Rosh HaYeshiva of Porat Yosef (1885-1970), was teaching a group of sudents. The shiur focused on the mitzvah of shiluach haken. Rav Ezra cited the gemara in Chulin which questions what procedure to use if one finds a nest on the head of a person. One person commented incredulously: “Why does the Gemara discuss such an implausible scenario?" Rav Ezra answered firmly: "Whatever is written in the Gemara is kodesh whether we understand it or not." The man remained silent, but it was apparent to the others that he was not satisfied with the explanation. Suddenly, a talmid entered the room. Rav Ezra greeted him warmly: “Sholom Aleichem! Where have you been?” The talmid answered: “I was traveling on business to Rav Ezra smiled broadly and said: “Moshe emes v'soroso emes." Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi |
HALACHA OF THE WEEK
On the second day of Yom Tov we do everything that we do on the first day. However, Bnei Yisachar held that we eat the simanim only on the first night since the gemara says we eat simanim "in the beginning of the year" and the second night is not the beginning of the year, although it is Rosh HaShana. Terumas HaDeshen held that the entire Aseres Yimei Teshuva is considered the beginning of the year and during this entire period one can eat simanim. The Arizal, Chasam Sofer, and Ben Ish Chai, ate simanim on both nights. Mateh Efrayim says that some have a minhag to eat the simanim even during the daytime meal on Rosh HaShana.

High Holiday Aliyah Bids
Dear Community Members,
As we prepare ourselves for the High Holidays I would like to bring to your attention the following opinion which is common practice in the Torah world.
The Chofetz Chaim z”l writes in Mishne Brura 584:8, “It is most appropriate for every ….individual to make an effort to get an Aliyah on the High Holidays. Even ….when these mitzvos are sold, one should buy them in accordance with his means. A mitzvah that is attained through expenditure is of greater value than a mitzvah attained for free.”
Therefore, we would like to extend to you the opportunity to participate in our High Holiday mitzvos and receive HaShem’s munificent blessing in repayment of your efforts.
We are holding a ‘silent auction’ for all Aliyos on 1st & 2nd day Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur (see list below). Please submit your ‘bid’ ($180 minimum for all Aliyahs, $100 minimum for Hagbah, $36 minimum for Gelilah). Bids will be accepted as they are received by email (tamar@aishla.com) or voicemail (310-278-8672 x 305). There will be a weekly (bid only) update posted in the Shabbos bulletin and email. The deadline for bidding is September 16th for Rosh HaShanah and September 23th for Yom Kippur.
Thank you in advance for your continued support.
May you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a sweet year!

Shoftim – The Fire of Havdalah
Devarim 20:1 “When you go to war……do not be afraid….”
The trust in HaShem exhibited by Rav Yosef Yozel Horowitz, the renowned Alter from Navardok, was legendary. It is recorded that one motzei Shabbos, during the turmoil of the Bolshevik revolution in
His disciples looked on in amazement at this remarkable display of trust in HaShem in the face of grave danger
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi
HALACHA OF THE WEEK
Although everything is decided by HaShem and we trust that he gives us all that we need, we must still ask for things if we want HaShem to send them. That is why the Chachamim made a brocha in the Shmoneh Esrei for parnassa. Do we have a right to request from HaShem to send it through specific means, or must we just ask him to support us financially and leave it purely to his discretion via which channels He will send it?
Rav Yisroel Yaakov Fisher z”l held that you may not petition HaShem as to how, or through which opportunity, HaShem should provide you with a livelihood. Your request should be limited to asking for a comfortable income. This is before you start working on a particular venture. Once you are already involved in it and this is your hishtadlus, you may daven for its success.
