this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay it's you'd gimmel nissan and it's almost time for vdd so let's review a few important that are relevant to the dikas khamenese the mishna says in the beginning of you can't see anything at night check in the day when there's daylight most people are available at night most people are home at night people have more time to be able to check at night that's why we check at night also the light of the candle is good for checking so the gmail seems to be saying two reasons one practical considerations people are home and number two people are um and number two the light of a candle is better for checking and therefore we are koiveya and heights says the mission barossa and tough llamas have caught on gimmel since we need to check the khayren was stuck in the cracks and the crevices and daylight is not strong enough to penetrate the cracks and the crevices so therefore we need the light of the candle so they were coveya to check at night because the light of the candle is more penetrating in the night than during the day you can't check during the day the daylight doesn't get into the cracks so you need to use a candle once you have to use a candle they were covered at night so now the question arises if you need to use the night of the light of a candle and they were covered at night because the candlelight penetrates more night one would think then one should turn off the uh lights in the house to do with the cascades especially because the candlelight would penetrate more if the lights are off and in fact of sternbc writes that the lights should be turned off for the cast comments however in the save for his past sakura shaman either he writes on page 86 he heard from misha feinstein you do not have to turn off electricity why ramosha said the more light the better likewise than the our safer orchestra the stifler did not turn off electricity you do not have to turn it off okay so therefore halal we do not turn off the lights for badika contrary to popular opinion we do not turn off the lights what about is it permitted to use a flashlight for badika's khameets so in either's book page 86 he writes it's permitted to use panas hashmali a flashlight with a bracha and he heard from ravarin that in fact you can make a bracha on a flashlight a flashlight is loi garaminer it's no less than a candle and in fact he writes he heard from moshe it's a defominer a flashlight is better than a candle in the sharm and brown he brings down even according to the price game that you cannot use electricity for friday night candles you can use a flashlight for the dikas khames however says rav brown you swallow kidosham jewish people are holy and we hold steadfast to tradition it's a mystery that comes once a year and therefore we should do it the way our forefathers did it but uh he does write that iron cutler also agree that a flashlight is okay for the digas likewise writes that if you're not able to use a candle you should um you can use a flashlight however it says almond if it's possible to use a candle it's not correct to use new innovations but rather you should check it in the traditional way however maisha said no a flashlight is better reverend said it's just as good and therefore rev either in his book has a very good advice and a very good mahalak in vidiqas khames and this is what in my humble opinion i think this is advisable and recommended as well and that is start off with a candle therefore at the beginning of the medica you're doing it in the traditional way and after a short while i think for safety reasons and precautions especially unfortunately we've heard stories i think it's advisable after a short while to put out the candle and to use flashlights while according to mysha you could have used the flashlight all along and according to all price game it's kosher so this way you're you'd say all the deos you start with the candle but to avoid any hazard you continue on with the flashlight and that is the best course of action and wish everybody is successful with and you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
