Mistakes & Doubts In Shmoneh Esray - Rabbi Yakov Zev Smith

I'd like to welcome everyone to today's share from Smith Schliemann. Stakes and doubts are responsible for the situation. 718-851-8651 email [email protected]. I'm Smith. These days these [clears throat] days we had the shower with someone is has a doubt he maybe he said over the same time of which we know is a similar color and you have to dive it over. But his question is he doesn't know. Does he have to dive it over? Some people say I'm pretty sure I said it right but maybe I did something wrong. We just had the two days and we'll have soon another and the question is you have a said boy. Yesterday we had a treat we said on the Sabbath someone had a question you said boy. The kids so this question is around the year during the winter the question is did I say it master during summer I shouldn't say master. Our question is basically around the year the common denominator is a person has a doubt if he was a master. What's the question? Well, during the winter the question is maybe he left out an important part of the diving he left out master. During the summer maybe he said the wrong thing. So I'll our question simply is when a person has a doubt. If he made a mistake now if he really made the mistake he has to dive it over that's possible. We're talking about something that is a question but he has a subject how do you proceed? So one thing we we know that this is a very challenging question >> [clears throat] >> because the diving over means you're taking the liberty of saying 19 questions. What's the justification of that? >> [clears throat] >> We know a subject is a question. Even if you have one subject you don't make a question and you make 19 questions but [clears throat] then again if he wasn't in this let's say this morning he said the same time of the master he wasn't in this it's a question. So the question is if he doesn't dive it over he might fit into what the question says the testament base what is what's considered irreparable damage not only a person has a child what but says the question the testament base he missed the diving. Because the person diving without on the or the question. He wasn't diving. >> [clears throat] >> So this is our question where do we proceed with all of these numerous questions? So the good news is there are many questions but I think we can reduce it to one word literally one word of me gives us guidance and I'll explain. The truth is it's very hard to understand if you have a subject if you said the right thing. How you allowed to go take the liberty of diving over? As I mentioned earlier the basic cloud is subject is a question. You have a subject if you made a question and you don't know you don't remember so you're allowed to drink without a question subject is a question we call it a question. Now [clears throat] this is a big question. The master in the subject of question in the subject of questions. If you have a subject if you made a question you know what it means a subject is a question you have to make a question because you have a subject you might be doing a question of this question. But we pass numerous places. Subject is a question means you don't make a question subject don't make the question. So even in a situation of of a subject question. We say subject so why all of a sudden here. When you have a subject 19 questions you're going to make a question again it's unthinkable but we can even add more to the question. The [clears throat] basic cloud is the question. And they're a question. The question certainly is the question is a question but the question part is the question so why [clears throat] don't we say subject and subject subject and gave it. How are you allowed to even take the liberty of diving another question? >> [clears throat] >> So it's an excellent question and I think the answer that I tell you is one word of the the question in the beginning of the beginning of the base of the base. And the question is talking about our scenario during the summer we have a subject of the question But the same thing as we'll soon see is during the winter or any subject. Says the question any of the he has a subject maybe this morning he said the question. I'm close within 30 days has a master mind his question. >> [clears throat] >> Within 30 days we have a question that you said what you used to. Once 30 days pass you could assume you finally changed. Now if I would ask you what's the most important word of this question you know the answer is I think most important word is a question and I'll explain. We have been saying master for the past 6 months since the end of this question. We are sometimes referred to as creatures of habit right and in this question we regularly we always do the same thing. Sometimes it's we put the diving autopilot cruise control even without that a person is used to saying something >> [clears throat] >> he says it. We program our brain to say certain things because that's what has to be said. So the question is saying Sunday morning. Base ear you have a subject you said master so let's rewind what have you been doing for the past 6 months master so I have a right to assume that this morning you all said master. Now the question used a very powerful word and that's the word question. You see if you have a subject you go to the question that's just a a new of that's the way you're supposed to respond in a subject. Is a question is not just we could assume that he said it. But we are convinced he said it. Because question is a and I'll tell you how much of a it is the more I can do the says it's a shocking statement cycling the other questions. Give a person misses best in. Even though it's no more than a question for example the more explains a person that's his daughter no one knows 100% this is his daughter maybe his wife is a question. So we don't know. The carrots is a question he his he has a had a baby and he made a kid dish and he called his mother daughter calls him tatty. So it's not a question to give someone misses best in. Question is such a you allowed to give misses best in. So the question is saying the one word that changes everything you're right. Subject is a question subject but guess what in this case you don't have a subject you have a question question is there's no subject then there's no problem of subject is a question. So this is the the one word that the question is enough to give misses best in it's enough to say you said what you said. >> [clears throat] >> And the question you wanted to see in this question you're there see if the question says when do we say subject is a question when there's no question. So I think the keyword is question you look [clears throat] at the the question see if the question typically only says it doesn't say but here he makes it a point to say if you have a subject what you said I actually have a question she has a question. He finally the point of the end of the word but I think it's much more compelling. The adds the subject of the question >> [clears throat] >> if you have a subject you said question. During the winter says [clears throat] the question the the question the question The more the new word question. The word question is pretty strong but how do you know? You can make a question but a question is enough of a >> [clears throat] >> so basically this is the the one word question and I'll show you in two important and then we'll go with more specifically >> [clears throat] >> where you see the word question is very crucial. The as I mentioned within 30 days we assume you did what you used to which is not good that means within 30 days of since we started saying you probably said during the winter if you're not sure you said within 30 days you probably didn't. So [clears throat] after 30 days you say. Comes again the quoted by the tour in the end of and said this is a problem. For 30 days you are vulnerable to dive it over. Let's try to expedite the 30 day change. We're all [clears throat] saying after 30 days you probably changed. So the takes a giant step and he says what does it mean 30 days? 90 killers." >> [clears throat] >> So, why don't we do it on this spot, make 90 not 90 davenings, but say "Machaya meisim ata rav lehoshiya." "Mashiv haruach umorid hagashem." Do that 90 times, and then guess what? You're reprogrammed right away. Now, what do you gain by that? You gain a lot if you have a safek you have to daven over. If we could save one saval, let's do that. >> [clears throat] >> And this is known as Rav Lichtenberg's yesod of saying 90 times the mashiv haruach. You have to say it within the context of shmoneh esrei. You can't say "Ata gibor leolam Adonai" and say Hashem's name. So, you have to say "Machaya meisim ata rav lehoshiya" 90 times, and [clears throat] you're okay. The sefer in a beautiful beautiful teshuvah in siman 201 or chaim proves conclusively you have to say it 101 times, like the Gemara says, "Eina dayna dayna shana perek meya upon meya." Okay. But, one [clears throat] thing we do say, Rav Lichtenberg is convinced that you're allowed to make an expedited change of your programming. Now, the Machazik Habracha quotes this taka in the end of kuf yud daled. Rav Zalman Auerbach, and the Chashmonaim who says the minyan of the Besikin Yerushalayim, minyan of Yerushalayim, very interesting minyan, that by a kof is on Shmini Atzeres, don't forget they don't have Simchas Torah. A kof of Shmini Atzeres, they all have a niggun, they all sing as one of the akofos "Machaya meisim ata rav lehoshiya mashiv haruach umorid hagashem." And they did it. It sounds like it's great, but it's a pella. Fregt Rebbi Nachman Peretz, "I don't get it. How does this work? 30 days is a time process. 30 days of doing things you finally change. Who told you 90 times in 5 minutes, or maybe less, changes? I, regarding the gichos, when it starts the ice is 3 days is a muad, and 3 times in 1 day is a vadai muad. Cuz look, it's out of But, how do you know that you could change your mind process in 90 times, like 30 to like like 30 days?" And lemaaseh the Rebbi Peretz very strongly rejects this Rebbi Nachman Lichtenberg. But, as I told you, the Machaber quotes it without even mentioning Rebbi Nachman Peretz. What's that? So, Rebbi the Aruch Hashulchan says the yesod I think is lichtig. In the end of kuf yud daled he says, "Lemaaseh you're right. Lemaaseh, the chazaka change is not certain. But, you know something he says? Really, when a Yid davens and he knows what he's focused on the davening, he probably said the right thing. No of us, you have a chazaka. Chazaka says if you don't know what you said, you probably said what you used to. So, once we find any excuse, eela matziva betali bazeh. Once you find an excuse you don't have to daven over, it's enough. So, getting doing this this expedited change is not perfect. But, I think it means today I'll tell you very bluntly, if you have a chazaka, you have a brick wall. You can't go beyond chazaka. Chazaka is mevarer. You you didn't say it. Once you made a dent, once you made a raise in the chazaka, so where you holding? Chazaka is questionable. But, one thing I do know, the oldest klalim, saval, safek deoraisa lechumra, so that outweighs the safek chazaka. In other words, it's true chazaka is a vadai. But, once you have a safek in the chazaka, you're back to safek bracha safek bracha lechumra. And that's what I think the yesod of the Aruch Hashulchan is, it really the yesod of the the Rebbi Lichtenberg and the Machaber and the the Yerushalmi's minyan. It's enough to break the safek. One more point to crystallize this yesod, and then we're going to go halacha lemaaseh. Question. Someone will ask you on Friday, Friday and Shabbos of Rosh Chodesh Iyar, someone will ask you on Friday, "I have a safek if I said Yaaleh VeYavo in Shacharis." He's being honest, I don't know. What would you tell him? Say, "Oh, but the zaylah safek that you didn't say it, right? And we you we have much more without Yaaleh VeYavo than with Yaaleh VeYavo. So, you have to daven over." So, the emes is that this is not certain at all. Because lemaaseh, we have we do have a chazaka, don't forget. I you'll say the Yerushalmi's chazaka is talking about mashiv haruach. But, then again, they're both a time. The svara is you're used to saying something, so you're used to davening for most of the year. It's only 18 days of Rosh Chodesh. So, so we're talking about 300 and what is it? 40 plus days of without Yaaleh VeYavo. So, you have a regular chazaka. And lemaaseh, we find even in other context we say this chazaka. Tosafos in Brachos yud beis says if you have a safek during a shmoneh esrei teshuvah if he said "HaKeil HaKadosh" or "Melech HaKadosh", you have to daven over. Because 355 days of the year you don't say "Melech HaKadosh". The Kol Boi in siman yud alef has our shailah for Rosh Chodesh. You have a safek if you said Yaaleh VeYavo, so since most the rov rub of the year is without Yaaleh VeYavo, we have a chazaka. Okay. Now, I'm going to ask you a question that should shake your mind. Lemaaseh, the Yerushalmi in Brachos perek zayin halacha daled says befeirish, "Safek hiskim shel Rosh Chodesh, safek lo hiskim, ein machzirin oso." Safek Yaaleh VeYavo in Rosh Chodesh, don't daven over. Fregt the Kol Boi, "How does this stem? Why should it be? Safek mashiv haruach, safek HaKeil HaKadosh, everything under the sun you say chazaka. What's wrong with Rosh Chodesh? Why is there no chazaka?" Now, you can't have a svara Yerushalmi to Yerushalmi. So, the Beis Yosef in the beginning of siman tav kuf beis says, "I don't hear the kasha." The Yerushalmi's talking in Brachos talking about a safek if you said Yaaleh VeYavo in benching. Ah, safek in benching is not me'akev. That's why it's mutar. But, taka safek Yaaleh VeYavo in shmoneh esrei, you have to daven over. Fregt Rebbi Akiva Eiger, "What are you talking about? Even a vadai didn't say Yaaleh VeYavo in benching you don't repeat. So, we have to have a chiddush safek you don't have to repeat?" So, Rebbi Akiva Eiger again, after hearing you say, "Hey, why didn't I think of that?" But, it's such a powerful insight into our sugia. Zogt der zogt Rebbi Akiva Eiger, "Okay, let me let me ask you a question. You have a chazaka that from the winter you said mashiv haruach. So, until you change, you are a mashiv haruach program, right? What is your programming regarding Yaaleh VeYavo on Rosh Chodesh? Tell me what your chazaka is. So, I'll tell you an interesting fact, which is simple. There is never 30 days that go by straight that we don't say Yaaleh VeYavo. Right? And then there's never a month more than 30 days. So, twice, once or twice a month, depending if it's one day of Rosh Chodesh too, you say Yaaleh VeYavo. The rest of the month you don't. What is your chazaka? What's your status? No no no chazaka, nothing. 30 days is a chazaka. You have no chazaka either way. Zogt Rebbi Akiva Eiger, "This is shat in the Yerushalmi. The Yerushalmi is saying on a real safek Yaaleh VeYavo on Shacharis or Mincha of Rosh Chodesh, you don't have to daven over. Why? You have no chazaka either way. A vadai benching, even if you vadai didn't, you don't have to daven over. You don't have to bench over. Davening you do. But, safek Yaaleh VeYavo, even Shacharis and Mincha, you don't have to daven over. >> [clears throat] >> This is the shita of the Rama in Darkei Moshe was soon to be the Aruch Hashulchan. Now, the truth is, if you want to be technical, we do have a chazaka that we make once a year of more than 30 days without Yaaleh VeYavo. Lechora, and that is from Elul until Cheshvan. Because Rosh Rosh Rosh Chodesh uh Tishrei, we we don't say Yaaleh VeYavo or Rosh Chodesh. So, you have really 60 come out 60 days from Rosh Chodesh um Elul until Cheshvan. But, the truth is we do say we do say Yaaleh VeYavo. Just it happens to be in a different place and a different um of context with the context you say "Yom Zikaron Hazeh." But, lemaaseh, this is the golden yesod of the Rama. His Talmud of Levush, and that's also the Rama I'm saying the Rama taka in tav kuf beis alef, safek of Yaaleh VeYavo on Rosh Chodesh, ein tzarich lachzor. The Levush I found give gave me the clarity of the sugia. He says, "If you have a safek is it Yaaleh VeYavo, tzarich lachzor. The chazaka mashiv am um askan um vadai lo amrei keivan deani ragil omen kol hachodesh." He explains the first shita, that if you forgot Yaaleh you have a safek Yaaleh VeYavo, it's a chazaka vadai you didn't say it. But, then he says another shita, that's his Rebbi's shita, the Rama says this Rebbi. But, since there's never 30 days without Yaaleh VeYavo, you have no chazaka. No chazaka, it's mutar. However, Tanya to Taz, Taz quotes this Rebbi this Rama and the Levush, it's a pella. When you have a 6 months chazaka of mashiv haruach the entire winter, and now you're struggling to know did I say mashiv haruach or not? So, to uproot a solid 6 months chazaka, you need minimally 6 days. But, let's not forget the right I'm sorry I'm sorry. The right ruba of the year we do not say ya'aleh v'yavo. It's only 18 days of 365. That's a pretty good chazaka. So, what now of us? Every month you say ya'aleh v'yavo. Fine. So, even if we say once or twice every month, the chazaka is mild at most. So, then the overwhelming majority of the year that we don't say ya'aleh v'yavo is is a better chazaka. So, unless if you have a solid chazaka and he proves this in Hilchos Niddah and other places, a real solid chazaka, you need a real solid hakira. But, here it's just the opposite. It's a once or twice a month that ya'aleh v'yavo. The roiv ruba of the year there's no ya'aleh v'yavo and that's enough to say Rabbeid, let's be honest. At a side 18 times a year, 365 days a year you say without ya'aleh v'yavo, this happened this morning as well and that's it. This is the shitta of the Taz, Magen Avraham, Pri Chadash, Elyahu Rabbah, Gra, Beis Me'ir, and Acharonim. In fact, the Mishna Berurah quotes of course on our mom. The halacha we don't pasken like the Rama because it's less than very interesting. Roiv Acharonim kimat kulam argue on the Rama. And then he takes the liberty of saying the following shittas. I saw the Knesseth HaGedolah one of the early Sefardim says in this case, even though l'ma'aseh we don't pasken like the Rama, you have to daven over. But, daven b'teivas nedavah. Like tonight, if I'm not machri'a to daven over, I'm davening nedavah. And the Chafetz Chaim quotes halacha b'sheteim. So, like Mishna Berurah, I didn't I I left it out. I didn't quote Mishna Berurah he says so I said I left it out because it's not a safek. It's a vada'i you have to daven over. Now, the truth is you know, what's wrong with making it tonight? Im lo yoyil lo yazik, right? Doesn't hurt. That's why the Chafetz Chaim quoted it. Maybe the pshat is if someone's going to think it's only a safek davening over and I'm davening over al t'nei nedavah, what happens if it falls out on Shabbos? Shabbos you can't make a davah. So, what do you say? Okay, I don't have to daven over. Wrong. It's so much of a berur this chazaka that we say you didn't daven because you didn't say ya'aleh v'yavo. So, halacha l'ma'aseh we have the the halacha of Ashkenazim and Sefardim, safek ya'aleh v'yavo shacharis you have to repeat. Now, let me ask you a simple question. What did the Rama hold? The Rama knew exactly what was going on. The Rama was the Rama. Bnei Yisrael used to be like the Rama. How did the Rama say there's a chazaka if there's no chazaka? Now, the Torah says the emes is the opposite. Safek brachot is l'chumra. But, if you have a solid chazaka, you can't go beyond you can't go beyond the brick wall. But, this is not a solid chazaka. It's a very funny chazaka. Every month your chazaka stops. 29 getting close, stop. Ya'aleh v'yavo on every single month there's a there's a destruction in the chazaka. That is not a chazaka. If it's not a chazaka, where do we go back to? Safek brachot is l'chumra and safek d'Rabbanan is l'kulah. Okay. So, baruch Hashem now we have enough time let's go through all the various shittas. First of all, if it's still nige'a, if you still have a safek until probably in the middle of the month once it becomes 30 days, so basically a safek if you said mashiv haruach or tal umatzmi'ach baracha, you have to repeat this shmoneh esrei. A chazaka you said it like you've been saying it. Someone imagine just l'havdil someone had a surgery I'm just giving a a month. He had a surgery on Rosh Chodesh Tammuz. Okay? As Rosh Chodesh of he started and he said ya'aleh v'yavo. Tammuz he had a surgery and he was out cold. He didn't daven Rosh Chodesh at all. And now he came to Elul. And now he has a safek about ya'aleh v'yavo. So, here you have a chiddush that all would agree that l'ma'aseh he has to daven over because he has almost 60 days without ya'aleh v'yavo. And you never could be oiker kol yemei chayecha. Right? Because you're not going to have 30 days like that. So, that's the modern chiddush. But, l'ma'aseh l'ma'aseh safek we have to daven over. By mashiv haruach ya'aleh v'yavo as the halacha is, we also have to daven over. Someone asked me this she'eilah. This has really happened. He says it was the Rosh Chodesh Iyar like like mamash like this like 2 days ago. He says, I know for sure I said ya'aleh v'yavo. I got to be honest. But, I have a little of a sneaking feeling that I said b'yom chag hamatzos sh'zeh. Because for 8 days I've been saying that. I'm not sure if I definitely said ya'aleh v'yavo. How would you diagnose this fellow? So, l'ma'aseh it sounds intimidating because you know, he said hopefully ya'aleh v'yavo Rosh Chodesh Nissan. But, now for 8 days he said chag hamatzos. But, then again there is no chazaka of 8 days. So, what is his chazaka? Ya'aleh nothing. Ya'aleh v'yavo is open depending on the year. The part of the year. Now, l'ma'aseh he had a bagel for breakfast I guess, right? Or something bread. He he doesn't think it's Pesach. He knows that it's Rosh Chodesh not Pesach. So, Taanis Zalman in Hilchos Sh'leimah in Perek Cheshbon are 95. This person has no chazaka. But, there's no reason to assume that he said something that doesn't make sense because he knows it's not Pesach. So, it's enough of a berur to say you have a safek. Safek brachot is l'chumra. If you said ya'aleh v'yavo that's good. Whatever you said, you probably said ya'aleh v'yavo. The regular of Rosh Chodesh. The Shevet HaLevi Gimel Siman Nun Tes he has this she'eilah also and he adds we'll soon see a Taz. The Taz says if you start shmoneh esrei and you say to yourself I must say ya'aleh v'yavo, I must say it, you probably said it. So, here he obviously knows it's Rosh Chodesh today. He didn't start thinking it's Pesach. He's not he's not losing his mind. He thought it's he knows it's Rosh Chodesh. So, who said it when he gets there he's going to change? And then he says a davar nifla. He says maybe that's the the yeshuv of the shitta of the Sha'arei Teshuvah. The Sha'arei Teshuvah says in Taanis safek you have to daven over. And all of a sudden the brachot of the Sha'arei Teshuvah says safek Rosh Chodesh you have to daven over. You know what it means? Not a safek every ya'aleh v'yavo. This unique case where he said ya'aleh v'yavo Rosh Chodesh Iyar, maybe he said chag hamatzos. So, then we'll say that type of safek, relax you said good. A little of a doichek that the Sha'arei Teshuvah is talking about such a funny case. But, at least we see that there is a a way to understand that this is a no chazaka situation. When there's a no chazaka situation, you're back to safek brachot is l'chumra. L'ma'aseh if a person did say chag hamatzos and I must mention the same she'eilah is nige'a Cheshvan after Sukkos for 7 days. Same she'eilah. Same maskana. But, let's say a person you know what, I have to be honest with you, I'm I think I said chag hamatzos or chag hasukkos. So, that's a double problem. Number one, it's sheini. The machlokes is if sheini passes shmoneh esrei. But, number two beyond machlokes, you didn't make an askara. You said the entire ya'aleh v'yavo but you missed the point. You didn't say b'yom Rosh Chodesh sh'zeh. So, for all practical purposes you didn't say ya'aleh v'yavo. So, then you would have to repeat. But, hopefully this person could rely on our on what we said that you probably have a chazaka either no chazaka either way it's more likely you did it what makes sense. Question. A person on Shmini Atzeres from on Chutz L'Aretz it's 2 days Shmini Atzeres. He the the minhag the halacha is both say b'yom Shmini Atzeres sh'zeh chag ha'asif. He thinks he said chag hasukkos. So, this happens to be a machlokes gedolei haposkim if it's me'akev. Because the Torah specifically said that Shmini Atzeres is not Sukkos. But, then again it's the 8th day from Sukkos. So, Mishna Berurah brings 2 days not machiya which is pretty you know, scary. But, let's assume that we're going to go with the shitta that if he said he said chag hasukkos you're not yoitza. What do we do here? Now, let's let's reframe the she'eilah. He said on Rosh Chodesh Tishrei he davened Rosh Hashanah. For 8 7 days he said chag hasukkos. The 8th day has a safek maybe he said again chag hasukkos or maybe he said Shmini Atzeres sh'zeh chag ha'asif. So, we would think well that's trouble, right? But, Reb Zalman says not necessarily. And the same stick he says, l'ma'aseh you don't have a chazaka to 7 days is not a chazaka. There's no chazaka on the map. So, what do you have? No chazaka. So, why think he said the wrong thing? Which is a very generous assessment of the situation. Because l'ma'aseh he said it for 7 days. But, as long as there's no vada'i chazaka l'fi divreinu, we want to say safek until you have a chazaka. He has no chazaka. What do you have? Nothing. Okay. Question. Yesterday was Rosh Chodesh Iyar sh'chal b'Shabbos. If someone certainly forgot to say atah yatzarta and he said the regular atah kidashta Shabbos, Zocher HaYom HaShabbos in Tof Chof Hey Seif Dalet, sorry Tof Tof yeah, Tof Chof Hey Seif Dalet. He would not be he's not yoitza because he didn't mention Rosh Chodesh in the mussaf. A very common question. Someone has a safek. He thinks he might have said atah yatzarta [clears throat] or maybe he didn't. How do we Not in mussaf, no. If he said it you're talking right. But, he didn't say it. It's only on Sukkos that we call it that. Oh, so the kol hamo'ed is typically. That's that's why you see it by Sukkos. Oh, they speak about that. Okay, let's leave that cuz I want to get to my this point. So here we come to another unique situation. >> [clears throat] >> There are 52 Shabbats of the year. There's never more than two after There's only twice a year that we have Shabbats If you have Rosh Shabbats, you only have one after that. So what I think this is the Yada the first speaker of the Siman 9 Daled. If if you said after that, uh you have to daven over. The shall Shabbats his follow. Now, he's right. There's 50 out of 52, maybe 51 out of 52 of regular not after that. But again, the question is if there's such a question. Every Shabbats you say Musaf of Shabbats. 51 times Is that a question? 90 is a question. 30 days one after the other. But it seems they're giving he's giving a new way of looking at it that much more in the regular regular Musaf. But I'll tell you another two points and you'll see the beauty of this thing. And this is a true story somebody asked me that happened to him. He was davenning Yom Tov. Okay? And he knows he said he offered. But he said he was a little I think it was was this morning this when it could happen when a person was a little tired and he's davenning in the morning. And he said and he said he didn't say that that was the one issue. But he thinks he made a an involuntary shortcut. Cuz typically most of the time you say you offered it. We say and we say that. So he might have taken a shortcut from to and he left out I don't see it. And we say >> [clears throat] >> What would you say to that person? True story. So what's What's his question? I mean is there a question for such a thing? But you make a question to give this for all them. I guess the world was always the same world. Long time ago they had the same question. In the end of Daled he has this very question. Yom Tov davenning he said but he might have might have trimmed it and skipped two parts of davenning. So he makes a detailed question. How many times do you go right from you offered it to to to say that? So there were 18 days 18 times 3 is 54. There are nine times nine days nine times three is 27. The sum total is 81 days of the short shorter version of into my head. How many days do we have You would you'll be surprised. It's 13 days Yom Tov times three is 39. Now, 81 is more than double 39. So your question is to take the shortcut. If you you think you took the shortcut, you probably did. Wow, he's to say a new question because of a question of 81 versus 39. Now, this is I mean maybe you'll say a whole year without it. And it's a a lot a big big difference. But this is a little more than double. But let me let's move on. Question. Someone davenning This is also Someone asked me this and I said ouch when I heard the question literally. He davenning a 40 minute Musaf question. >> [clears throat] >> Okay, which is understandable. And then he asked me he has a sneaking feeling that he might have said that. This is not a boy. Because he's used to it. Okay, that. What do I tell him? And again, I said the word ouch because it's scary. So the truth is during if you have this no doubt about it you go back. You know why? This is a perfect question. 355 days a year straight you say Only 10 days right? So why should there be any way to salvage this by an answer? The only thing is if if he davenning from a book So then he said what he then he said it. But he said he got naked. That's what he said. But there's another big to be made and that is the question is definitely a the fact that he He knows he has 40 minutes is a pretty good indication he's connected to what he said. So why think that he said that? So we told him he said he thinks he from a and but even so this makes sense that some of the of course this makes sense that and our he has a he has a he has a dent in the question. Another question. Someone had the question about Yom Kippur. He thinks he said like he did the past 10 days that. So for your information it's not so good. Sorry to in question brings good question. Cuz it's wrong. Now it's a question. But the question is more night and that's the minute that if he if if he did say after Yom Kippur he did. But the question was some hold this question. How would you say What would be in this case? Now, I said Yom Kippur for a reason because there it's more probable that he just finished 10 days of question. So remind me of the beginning in the first paragraph and I quote the this question. He says even though it's a question but in this case that he says he says that I feel that he did it. Because there's no question of 10 days. So there's there's no question. Now, what does he mean to say? You're right. It might It's more probable he said But if there's no brick wall called question, what do you go back to? So some of the question. So I want you to think about it. Like I want to move on but think about it see if if how how to figure this out. The the question about which is most of the year without it is the question. The more and more. The question is more than on year. We said we seem to come to be here okay. Question which is again 51 or so you're no good. Question Musaf if you made a shortcut then he he holds it's a problem. But the only good The only thing that's possible believe it or not is this question. You see if the question What would be the question he has a question what he said? What's the question? You have it over. Why? Because the 355 days a year you said right? In this case that works in our favor. The question works in our favor. Why? Because you have a question what you said. Good. Perfect. What do we What do you usually say? The question. So the only simple one is a question cuz the question works in his benefit. But all the rest of them are sort of you know interesting connections. It's 81 over 39. It's 51 or 50 over over two. So if you could see a a theme I'd like to hear it. Let's move on. The last group of questions is really what people ask most and I would like to try to get a clarity to know what to do. And here's the question. Someone says you know I have a question if I said that. But I before I was telling myself remember we got to change twice. So before I started I was confident. When I finished I'm not sure what I did. What do I do? Or someone asked me he's pretty sure that he said the right thing but he doesn't know for sure. Or this you hear this all the time. I I I I davenning. Much later I started having doubts. Maybe it's Maybe it's not. He's not a nervous person but you know it starts to creep up. What's the guidance? So to my knowledge the first one to discuss this is the in fact in question this question. And the says a big kid a big a big cooler. If before you started you programmed your brain you started to say I must say or I must say during the winter or must say in summer. Whatever you have to do that's important you made a mental note I got to do it. And then later you have a question that's okay. Because since you started with that with that resolution you're going to do it right you could be saying that. Now, why he says possible because the question you wanted to do it and you're not sure that you didn't do it. You're not saying you didn't do it. So if you're planning on doing it, you could be making a question. The question is the question is the question is the question. Now, that's a little concerning to me. Question you didn't forget and you said it. But I'm going to look at the part. The question holds if you had a conviction to say it even if you have a question question you said it and don't worry. Now, the question the question then answers the question of the question with this question. He says on question you know what Rosh Chodesh is. You maybe have a big day Rosh Chodesh, you have a Rosh Chodesh suda. So, when you start Shemoneh Esrei on Rosh Chodesh, you have a mind to say Al HaNisim. That's why the Shulchan Aruch says Safek Al HaNisim, you don't repeat." But, on a random day, the question is Mashiv HaRuach versus Morid HaTal, who said you started with that that das? There's no indication you started with a a resolution to say the right thing. And that's where the Taz understands the stira of the Shulchan Aruch. The question, of course, is can you pasken like the like the Taz? And this we'll soon see, it's not only the Taz, the Magen Avraham, the Magen Giborim, and Mishnah Berurah say, "If you started with a das to say it, and after you finished Shemoneh Esrei, a little after, then you start having sfeikos, zman muflig afterwards, you could be meikel." Can you rely on that? So, the answer is to the Pupa Rav in Vayan Yosef Siman Nun Beis, and someone asked him this question, can you be sameach on the Yahrtzeit? We'll soon see the Taz also is is similar to this. So, he says, "Yes, you could." But, the shoel wanted to know, "If it's such a good idea, why do you have to bother saying it 90 times, the whole thing? Just have a mind before you start having kavana to say it." So, the Pupa Rav says it's a good question, but l'maaseh, he says, "90 times that we find 30 times in the Yerushalmi. That has a makor in the Yerushalmi. But, this new thing is an eiken hazach, but it works." He says, "I know for myself that when I started with das to say it, and I had a safek, and then I remembered after I had kavana to say it." So, he says, "You could be sameach on this, start the first Shemoneh Esrei, have a das to say it, and if it's zman muflig you have a safek, ignore the safek." Then he says, "But, maybe people that are busy thinking about the business, more they think about this Shemoneh Esrei, so what are their das? Not in the davening at all, maybe then it doesn't work." But, he does say it works for the average person. The Shevet HaLevi Chelek Gimmel Siman Mem Gimmel, interesting, the shoel said, "I heard from the Debreciner Rav, I used to live mamash around the corner, and the Debreciner Rav said, 'This Taz and this Magen Avraham do you have das to say it and you definitely didn't forget, does not work in our times, cuz people are so disconnected from the davening, they're so busy with their business.'" He says, "It doesn't work. You start out by Shemoneh Esrei, good, then you're going to say a minute later you're at work, two minutes later you're in Florida, and then comes the Al HaNisim, you're going to remember." And he brings a raya, the shoel, because the heter of 90 times 30 days in Shulchan Aruch, there's no heter of having a mind before you start. So, Rav Vozner says, "I don't agree, because l'maaseh, if a person is davening with das to say it, and he had a mind to do it, why think that he changed?" He says, "Of course, he says, 'If it's yaina davening and yaina davana, then you can't be sameach on it.' And that's why the Shulchan Aruch couldn't give an eitza of having a mind to do it. You know why? Cuz the person might forget if he had a mind to do it also. He's yaina davana and yaina davening. But, if someone took a serious approach, I have to every morning until we we get to the 30-day period, I must change say Mashiv HaRuach and say Morid HaTal, you could rely if he was davening connected that he said the right thing. So, this is very relieving to us, we have a new way of approaching a safek. When someone starts, and I tell people a good idea on Motzei Yom Tov Pesach the first days, you have to make a mental note of four additions to Shemoneh Esrei. First of the first time we stop saying Mashiv HaRuach or Morid HaTal, or if you don't say Morid HaTal, then we have the saying Ata Choneinanu, the saying Bracha, and and Al HaNisim. And then Al HaNisim, sorry, Al HaNisim, and that's the fourth. Say Morid HaTal, say Bracha, Ata Choneinanu, and Al HaNisim. Now, the problem because some people announce the saying Bracha, because the first time we're changing, which is important. But, is that mamash mean that you don't have to say anything else? So, some people clapped four times, okay. But, l'maaseh, if you start with the resolution the four additions, we have this Taz to be sameach on, but here's one point that I want to mention that the Taz doesn't say. Because after the Taz went, another gaon lived that the Magen Avraham recommended in Kuf Yud Daled at the end in Magen Avraham, he says the following. And he comes from a different angle. He says, "What does a safek mean when the safek was nolad takeh b'makom they were supposed to say it?" In other words, you said finish Shemoneh Esrei, or you just said Modim, "Uh-oh, did I say Al HaNisim?" So, Akiva Emden, time is of the essence in this shaila. The question is when the safek began. And Akiva Emden gives you a little bit of an insight into the psychology of a human being. When you have a safek if you said something right after you're supposed to say it, so be it, what are you thinking? You just said it. You don't remember saying it? Where where were you? Where are you? So, if you have a safek right away or close enough that to when you're supposed to say it, you probably didn't say it. But, then he uses this term, he's the first to use the term, but let's say the safek was nolad in zman muflig, a a long amount of time, we'll soon define that. So, then there's no raya that you don't remember. And I think he means to say is a person that that is a chareidi. What does chareidi mean? He's devoted. He's worried about the Shemoneh Esrei. So, he's careful, Al HaNisim, I have to say it. He gets to the Al HaNisim, he says it, he gets to Modim, he finished Shemoneh Esrei, and now we're doing something else. So, he was yoitze. He feels confident. So, he goes from his mind to his archives. I davened Mincha today, baruch Hashem. Do I have to remember saying Al HaNisim? I mean, till when? Until until Mashiach comes? So, zman muflig, you're not mechayev to keep on remembering, cuz you did it. So, it's already processed. Zman katzar, there's a raya, so where are you? You said Al HaNisim, can you remind yourself? No recollection. Make up your mind. So, Rav Akiva Emden stresses the word zman muflig versus a short time. Then he says, "I know about myself," also a story about himself, "I once had a safek zman muflig, I was about to daven over. I said, 'No, no, I remember I said it.' Because zman muflig is very much a heter not to daven over." And then he says, "This could be the chelek between the Bavli, between the Yerushalmi and Brachos and Taanis. It's zman muflig, you don't have to daven over, but right away you do." And then he adds something that is very puzzling. "Shir Matzasi l'haTaz, I found the Taz that I just mentioned. The Taz says, 'If you start with the resolution, you don't have to daven over.' V'ha'amaineni and I have a normal oid, that I was mechaven to the ha'eilechu gitas." >> [clears throat] >> Now, here all the acharonim after the Magen Avraham try to figure this out. Wait a minute. The Taz said something about that you remembered before you started, so you program your brain to say it. That's one thing. The Akiva Emden said zman muflig. So, what are you proud that you're mechaven to the Taz? That's two different things. So, whatever the heshbon exactly is, but if you look in the Siddur Yaavetz, Yaavetz Siddur in the new print is on the top, chelek aleph, top sof kuf mem ches, he says, and I quote, "In baruch she'haya b'diya b'diya seilaim before he started, and achas zman muflig, you have a safek, you're good." So, exactly why why why he didn't write it clearly, but one thing he writes in the Siddur, "When can you be meikel? If you have a combination. Number one, you started with the das, 'I'm going to say it, I'm going to say I'm going to say it,' and the safek was nolad zman muflig, the Magen Giborim, much later in Kuf Yud Daled Siman Nun Beis, "Chaim, when are you meikel? In baruch she'b'diya l'zkor min ha'ura, u'l'achas zman muflig nafal safek b'libo." And the Poskei Acharonim, Mishnah Berurah in two places, Kuf Yud Daled Siman Nun Mem Ches, Tof Chof Beis Seif Katan Yud, says, "In baruch she'b'diya l'zkor min ha'ura, b'seches tefila, u'l'achas zman muflig nafal safek b'libo, don't daven over." And he says his makor is Magen Avraham and Magen Giborim. So, again, the Taz is a little bit tzarich iyun, you know, what is that enough, one one thing? Mishnah Berurah in Shaar HaTziyun says it's not enough. But, one thing we are comfortable to say l'halacha l'maaseh, if someone started Shemoneh Esrei thinking I have to say today Al HaNisim or Mashiv HaRuach or leave out Mashiv, whatever it is, and zman muflig he has a safek, we have the Magen Giborim, Akiva Emden, Mishnah Berurah in two places, he doesn't daven over. Now, l'maaseh, of course, if someone started Shemoneh Esrei and I think about anything, then it's no good. Rav Zalman Auerbach perek chelek aleph tes zayin says a big chiddush, if someone remembered before the bracha, right before the bracha, that he has Now, baruch I better say the saying bracha, no Tal U'Matar today. And then right after he finished Shemoneh Esrei, he has a safek, then he can be meikel. If right before the bracha you plan on saying it, I mean, that forgetful, you're not. So, this is somewhat of a chiddush, but one thing which is very common, a person starts Shemoneh Esrei, knows what he has to say, and he has a mind to say it, and zman muflig, we'll soon define that, this is enough to be meikel. If someone started without thinking anything, and then he has a safek zman muflig, they have to repeat Shemoneh extra, because it's my muflick only impacts when someone has a safek. You have no safek. You didn't start thinking differently. What does man muflick mean? So, the truth is it's a question, because mashiach is much earlier than ya'aleh v'yavo. And some shmoneh esrei is 5 minutes, 4 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes. So, I think that man muflick is when is there a no longer re'isa that you should have remembered? A person knows right after shmoneh esrei, uh you know, when he finished shmoneh esrei and he can't remember. How could you not remember? Now, what's typically a shaila? When does a person have a safek if he said ya'aleh v'yavo? You know when? When the shliach tzibur says ya'aleh v'yavo. So, I saw Reb Moshe Matisyahu in the Sefer Hilchos Yom Yom, he says that's enough of a zman muflick. Now, even though l'ma'aseh it's not so long after in time, but after shmoneh esrei and after that he processes it, that could be a zman muflick and therefore you can be makeel. The Shmi'as Shimon ben Asher in the Zera Yitzchak what does man muflick mean? Is it totally in the ending shmoneh esrei, the long shmoneh esrei? So, it's hard to give a klal, but if a person feels he no longer expects himself to remember what he said, because again it's processed, it's finished, that would be a zman muflick and you don't have to repeat the shmoneh esrei. The interesting question and I mean this question has come up when a person asks and he says, "I am pretty sure that I said ya'aleh v'yavo, shachris, mincha, or maariv, or whatever it is, I'm pretty sure I said the right thing." So, you have to know one thing, it's it's really telling a person. When a person says pretty sure and he's a big anav and he's a big yarei v'chareid, pretty sure means I said it, but he can't, you know, make a shvu'ah d'Oraisa. But if he has a little bit of yir'as shamayim, a pretty sure, that means he's saying he's pretty sure he said it. If someone says it and I say he's saying I'm not sure, pretty sure, so it's really a language a person uses. Reb Moshe quoted by the Sefer Reb Zalman Sefer that Reb Moshe said if you have if it's karov l'vadai that you said it, you could be makeel. Now, I don't know where Reb Moshe's lashon exactly was, so it's hard to bring a raya from that, but if someone feels that perhaps he's pretty much noite that he said and he's a person that that's thinking is yir'as shamayim, that avad the yesh al mi lismach to be makeel. If someone nebach is always b'safek, unfortunately this is a machlokes, this is OCD, anxiety, nervin, I think since the the Chaim's time it has doubled and tripled in various But l'ma'aseh, this is poshet nervin not a safek. Nervin is a is a machlokes. So, he doesn't remember anything, but that's certainly not considered a safek. So, I care the only way to do it tell these people, "You did say it and go vite until they start, you know, giving up some of the nervin." But that's zicha not a safek. What is a painful safek a person has a a a memory failing? And he forgets. A person has as a shikor, a machlokes shikor. So, it's interesting how to look at it, because the fact he doesn't remember what he said a minute later is not a kasha. Doesn't remember. Unfortunately, even more said if he started shmoneh esrei I must say ya'aleh v'yavo. Also not a right klal, because he might have forgotten. But then again, could be his hair goal for the past 6 months saying mashiach during the winter doesn't impact what he said today. So, what I I found takah the beautiful Sefer Siach Mordechai on takin yonim men Mordechai, he says very briefly, so he has no chazakah and he can be makeel. What I think he means to say is emes like I told you earlier, same yishuv ha'da'as. Really, a yid said the right thing. First he concentrated his davening, why I think he made a mistake. Novos, there's more to it. This is about safek d'Oraisa d'Oraisa d'Rabbanan. If you have a chazakah, chazakah is a brick wall. Once you have a dent in the chazakah, then you're back to safek d'Oraisa d'Rabbanan. This person that's forgetful has a dent in the chazakah. It's no chazakah. So, here we rather say there is no chazakah, he's back to safek d'Oraisa d'Rabbanan and takah such a person doesn't have to daven over, doesn't have to daven over his shmoneh esrei, because again there is no existing chazakah. Either way. If someone is brave enough to admit and someone once told me this, he said, "You know, I'll tell you the I have a safek if I said ya'aleh v'yavo. But my shmoneh esrei left much to be desired. I was here, I was there, I was anywhere but in shmoneh esrei." So, let me read you a lashon of the Tanna Yisrael. Chaim ben Asher in Ein Yaakov, im yima sh'al b'rosh chodesh u'v'seichach t'fillah nischashuv sh'chodesh. You hear? This fellow was obviously thought about saying it during shmoneh esrei. This what the what Reb Zalman said works. U'keshe hislim nistapek in hiskoyloy, what do we do? So, he says teshuvah, this is a teshuvah, right? B'sha'ah achas y'val'uhu elef ra'ayonois. U'vadai sh'lo hiska. Within a a few moments you had a thousand other thoughts. Now, that's a chiddush, because if a person does not was not on business or on vacation during shmoneh esrei, why I think he changed. But let's say a person admits my shmoneh esrei was just like he said. B'sha'ah achas y'val'uhu elef ra'ayonois. I went here, I went there, I went anywhere. Then he lost the that's the problem. But one thing we'll say that if a person takah thinks that he was all over the place, it's hard to say if he said the right thing. And if he fits into that description, he has to daven over if he has a safek. Nothing. Oh, okay, so that's the most important thing. Whatever. That's an interesting point. Okay, whatever. That's something that's we'll leave for now. So, what we should we should do is give him a little pat to himself and wake up and start davening. What do you mean? Chavruta Shmaya, what's the right thing to do? He didn't daven over yet and daven again, no, don't daven again. So, that's a good klal. That's that's the klal of Reb Moshe Chavruta Shmaya. But l'ma'aseh, this point that you should mention a person has to be focused, because besides all the chazakahs, if a person knows he wasn't there, he wasn't there. It's a good idea, it's a wonderful idea I should say, that when you have to add something or take something out, take a tissue, a pen, a card, something and put it in the siddur on that page. When you get to that page, it reminds you. Now, someone asked me if I do that eitzah, is there a heter to take the tissue out of the siddur and put it in my pocket? I really shouldn't keep a tissue in the pocket in the siddur, but you know, maybe I shouldn't do it in shmoneh esrei. So, I told him, "That's why it works, because if you make if you see the tissue, take it out and put in your pocket, that means you said ya'aleh v'yavo." Then you can't have a safek any longer. Otherwise, you might have a safek. But if you do some type of a ongoing siman, and I saw the the Chasam Sofer, he says bend the page of the siddur on the top. Now, I hope he's not talking about the siddur of the shul, because everybody does it every month or every day, so it's going to get ruined. Maybe your own siddur. But the the Chasam Sofer takah the Pele Yoetz Sefer Orach Chaim, he in kuf yud daled he says that you a person be soid v'niskah and he should yichbol b'reisha daf that he has to do something on that page ya'aleh v'yavo. And then Reb Gershon zachar yiskor and the Chasam Sofer in kuf yud daled he's quoting and down the quotes this. I assume he means to say that if l'ma'aseh you did an action, then you could rely on that. Some people put in there one of these flags, these colorful flags on on Rosh Chodesh or Yom Tov or Yom Kippur or Yom Kippur or Yom But a person did that, then he he definitely has what much more to be sameach on. And his zicha broke, at least he broke the existing chazakah. Granted there is a siddur today they they put out, a lot of shuls have it, a Pesach siddur, only Pesach davening. And it's a wonderful thing, because if you daven from the siddur, it doesn't give you any choice. It doesn't say mashiach till then, it's Rosh Chodesh and it's everything Rosh Chodesh and sorry and the chol hamoed and Shabbos and Yom Yom Tov. So, this is the klal, if you're davening from the The Hilchos Yom Yom in kuf zayin is very reassuring. He says if someone had kavana by davening and then a zman muflick he had a safek. So, he says could be you could be makeel even though he didn't think before davening I have to say ya'aleh v'yavo, because the thinking ya'aleh v'yavo means you're focusing on your davening. If you tell me you had kavana, that's enough. I'll leave you with the love of the This is a ma'aseh that happens more than once. But let me tell you this story. Someone was rushing to work, he was, you know, rushing to work as it is. It was granted Rosh Chodesh and he was getting nervous getting late. B'kitzur, he had a safek if he said ya'aleh v'yavo by shachris. A clear cut vadai chazak, you have to chazer over his shmoneh esrei. But he had to go to work. So, he said, "Reb I'm sorry, I can't daven over. I hope to see you by mincha." And he runs out of shul and goes to work. In other words, he was supposed to daven over without a doubt and he didn't. But guess what? Klap Shmaya, he davened over. He he did say ya'aleh v'yavo. And he never found out about his b'chayav. But loyal to Klap Shmaya, he did say the ya'aleh v'yavo. He didn't know. But l'ma'aseh, he was lucky. He did say it. Was he yoitzai that shmoneh esrei? Now, this is a halacha maybe, but I want to know because my point I think is very much pronounced here. You'll say, "What's the shaila? He davened over. He davened ya'aleh v'yavo. What's wrong? Wrong." If you say chazakah is a birur, so then the chazakah passed in shmoneh esrei. Hagova atzmecha. Let's say someone has a suffix and he died in over like a good person is to and copy smile. Yeah, he did say the first time right. Would would it be a brothel but dollar? I have to show them why is it after that and over? So maybe in this case the same applies, but then again it doesn't make sense. He died and perfectly has our past old has our just said have it again. So the mice is over and it didn't show enough does yeah, but it's much more mistake that he was with that because he said it's not enough call. It's a better room, but if he did say it he said it I couldn't talk to you all. Let's know this your type. Shame and so I got to cut out Smith for today share this is sponsoring a share called tired 8651 or email to share at gmail.com.

Just let's have a little table first of all the two suffix the hollow is the cloud of suffix the hollow is the cloud and any suffix we don't have an over but a suffix when you have a suffix that is a suffix has I will say it's like a body said the wrong thing and he has to have an over. The show me says after 30 days a suffix could change so after 30 days you could say that even though you've been saying it for 6 months master of a rook you finally changed and you probably didn't say master of a rook. They're more used to the word after 30 days or within 30 days that he said the wrong thing. So that's why just like cycling with a suffix within 30 days when you have a suffix there's a suffix you said the wrong thing and you have an over but tell you of a body. And my like this is can you expedite the by saying it 90 times in one sitting 101 times it's probably totally in this my like this if that's enough to dent the or not. The suffix you have to say we had a nice long list but the end of the day we pass in the holidays you have to have an over if you have a suffix because there is enough of a suffix that most of the year there's no being said. Mr. Hall you don't even need to tell us it's a body here to have an over suffix on and men have suffix He said on or maybe said not size size Now we could say there's no either way so you probably said the right thing. suffix if he forgot and or or even a suffix at the must repeat the because that is one or two or 52 times. You forgot the he said definitely said but he might have gone right from to to say and skipped and would say the we saw the the the two of his Guinness brother he has to have an over it's a big but that's what he says. A suffix on a Muslim you have enough to be that he said the right thing. My anytime after if he said we hold the mice you don't have an over and suffix you don't have to have an over. The is that time factor that the before you started prevails and you could be saying that this is not a suffix but the market here Mr. say you have to have a double combination before you started you had wanted to say the right thing and my move look as we explained that the that if he's not thinking that's my move look doesn't make a difference my move look is means when you're no longer expect to keep it on your mind it's already done it's a done deal like they say pretty sure depends how you decide that but if you're pretty sure then you're pretty sure it's okay. Never been is not a suffix at all memory failing you could be making probably in all situations a person admits that he was that he was far from the that's a rare in this remembering a person made a sign that he's going to say this he put something in the that's good enough to have a is like thinking before that I would have to say if a person we had our suffix that if a person was supposed to have an he didn't have an over if he talked to say that he's probably it. Yes I am.
