Lessons on Shabbat
Shabbat Is Shabbat
Powerful story how Shabbos saved two brothers from bankruptcy and certain death.
Rabbi Yoel Gold | Cheshvan 14 5782
Food Coloring and Shabbos
May I mix red and white wines on Shabbos? May I decorate a cake on Shabbos?
Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff | Tishrei 25 5782
Where Did the Custom of Weekday Torah Readings Originate?
Rabbi Stewart Weiss | Tishrei 23 5782
Why Did G-d Make Israel Special?
Why is the Nation of Israel considered greater than others? Why does G-d relate to Israel differently than the other peoples? Is this not discrimination? Why were the others created, if from the outset Israel takes precedence?
Rabbi Oriel Twito | Elul 26 5781
Why Do We Say Shabbat Shalom?
All right-thinking people in this world want shalom – peace. Why is it that almost since the beginning of time, peace has been elusive and often illusory. Shabbat holds the answer.
Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair | Tammuz 8 5781
Can there be Smoke Without a Fire?
May I place cold frankfurters on top of a hot pot to warm them on Shabbos? May one derive benefit from a cheese dog, which is a grilled hot dog with added cheese and chili sauce? I will be traveling overseas for Yom Tov and Shabbos, and it will be difficult for me to have cooked food ready for an eruv tavshillin. May I use lox as my eruv tavshillin?
Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff | Sivan 30 5781
Automatic Commerce in Cryptocurrency on Shabbat
I joined a “stock exchange” for crypto coins, in which I can buy and sell, and have a linked service that enables me to create “bots” to find and carry out deals 24/7. If I do not shut it off for Shabbat (which is easy), it will almost certainly find profitable trades. May I let the bots run on Shabbat?
Rabbi Daniel Mann | Sivan 8 5781
