Laws (Halachot) of Pesach, Seder night and the Omer - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] so we're going to learn a little bit more about the of p and after that we're going to learn a little bit how to prepare for the L and what's going on in the L SED so we left off that before PES we're going to burn all our kets after we cleaned after we did everything and we do the Bika this Sunday night at least in this year I know sometimes we do classes about a certain holiday and then people see it a year later in the video or two years later and they get confused so and they email us what is Tuesday I thought it's Thursday no no no it's a it's an old video so so for this year we're going to do our DEA at on Sunday it's important to do it on time we spoke about it last class how it is important to do Thea right after the Sun goes after the stars go out and we went through all that the next day we burn the K and it's important also to make sure you do that on time and uh we went through all that now we want to know what's going to happen if I find kets somewhere in my possession during PES I open the closet uh something I forgot something a kid moved out what happens if I see during P or of course and it happens if you find by mistake by doesn't matter how you just find it you take it you take it out out of the house and you burn it you set it up on fire if you have a very small piece what's called kazite kazite is 29 gr it can be like a I mean we're not talking about a crumb right now a piece if it's a piece you have to remember the measurement because that's the measurements we're going to go by in the little set it's called kazite and kazite is 29 lbs and if you if picture the the the sh matah you know it's about this size so a kazite is about something like that give a take you have to remember it because in the you have to eat four times kazite but if you find a piece of crumb that is this big then you just take it out and you burn it if you find a big piece that has minimum 29 grams and you don't have to start weighing it just have to evaluate more or less then you actually have to say the cuz you're literally burning the what happens if you find it during or during Shabbat of that you can't carry it and it will bebat I mean shabb you will take some type of a bucket or a bowl put it on it and then after the Shabbat you can take it out and burn it but just know that if you do find during Shabbat of then you can't carry it it's what happens if you find it during the last y of p and you're going to burn it after now what's going to happen you're going to burn it after P so if you're burning it already after P then you burn it without a if there's a big amount of it so if you're finding it dur It's A Small Piece take it out put it in a can of of of Olives or whatever it is put it in and burn it set it up on fire you can put some oil or anything that is flamable set it up on fire that it will burn completely if it's during Shabbat that you can carry it cover it next day burn it if it's after p and there's a big amount you don't say okay that we did sorry okay now when does really P ends P ends after the eth day of and in the evening which means all the laws that have to do with P you carry them till that day some people say oh we only counting seven days so p is you have to count the full eight days and only that's when p is over not a minute before that and it's important also we're going to learn soon about the selling of the K it's important not to open the cabinets of the sold KET before the actual time cuz the rabbis have to run home and and buy the kets back a lot of people what what they do they don't go to shore they come they're already at home when the holiday is over they right away run to the to the to the cabinet to take out the cracker or to take out the biscuit for not eating the biscuit for the whole week and they jump on the biscuit right away so no you have to wait first of all you have to wait till the the leaving of the holiday the then you have to wait certain amount of time wherever you sell the KET you have to ask the rabbi when are you going to buy it back sometimes the rabbi will tell you I'm only going to buy an hour after the holiday now usually the rabbis they know that everybody is hungry after a whole week of not eating a the crackers they have the urge of eating now the biscuit that they hid in the cupboard before that's what we used to do in Olden old days we used to already prepare a surprise so so right after the you can break the fast and right away eat a cracker or something I mean like tasty like a biscuit or so you need to give some time for the rabbi to go back to his uh his office and buy theet of the the the non Jew so don't run and jump on the cabinet just you know till the last moment of PES plus a good amount of time for the rabbi to go and buy buy the back don't don't jump on the cabinets yet have that a little bit of aafia you know you survived the week another hour is not going to make much of a difference you know you see sometimes people on you go next to a pizzeria like people will will jumping on the pizzeria like as if Pizza is such a great thing and you know it's only been a week you can go another day without the dough so it's important to know that that the end of the holiday I mean I have to correct what I just said cuz I'm used to being in America in America you'll have eight full eight days here we have full seven days so I apologize I know most of our students online are in the diaspora so I also my mind has already switched to talk to them we celebrate seven days so don't add another day here I know you want to be on one day to add a day on on your diet but here we celebrate seven full days and the seventh day is the also the for our students that are in the diaspora they celebrate eight full days so I just have to correct myself here so all the laws of kets are are in effect till that moment and we got to be very very careful not to jump on our the second that the holiday leaves this is another very important thing is to remember and to be very careful not to buy KET that was baked or that prepared in any type of a way by a Jew during PES and this is a problem that a lot of people do here in Israel they keep the law of PES but they'll go an hour later to a bakery of a Jew that did not observe the holiday and he already prepared the pitot 2 hours before so it can happen many times here in Israel that unfortunately the the Jews here they don't observe the holiday or they will observe it but they that's their business a bakery they'll come an hour before how would you know you well the place has to have a heer and if the place has a certification that is uh trustworthy you know the place is completely locked if not he's not going to get a h but a lot of people are in the beginning of their Chua or they're just a little bit H not aware and they will be like okay I live in a big city I live like in a city like yat you don't have it but in yush you'll be okay I can't I I the whole week I'm dreaming of the p and they run right away to the first bakery that is open and they might have a problem because the bakery was open during PES and they started cooking already during PES or baking so again it's all about controlling yourself for another 2 three hours and and not jumping on the K and I'm saying that because I know that's what what people do 2 minutes after PES people are already in line in the pizzeria shop so I know you're not like that but it's always good to to remind you it's also extremely important to remember that you're not allowed to enjoy that was in a possession of a Jew during PES so if you have a neighbor or a family member that you eat by a lot of people they they CER their kitchen especially when they have a family that eats Co and they will not eat on P but they didn't sell theirs so in in the beginning when I became religious and my my mom cered her a house the kitchen was goer so we can eat there she would not eat K on PES but she never sold the K on PES so she owned that K on PES now she and me or anybody else will have a problem eating there because the that was owned by a Jew during P you can't eat it even after P so you have to be also careful with that yes you want to ask a question yeah yeah yeah the um that was not so is not for one year until the next where she does things yeah exactly so I'll repeat what cot said cuz it's important to know if this is the the situation this is very common cuz a lot of people will go to eat by somebody a child a family relative a cousin a mother doesn't matter what it is that that individual kept PES and that individual I'm just going to give you the example of my mother and me instead of saying that person this person that person there were years that my mom we cered my Mom's Kitchen cuz she wanted me to eat there so the CER the the her kitchen is 100% kosher in the beginning many years ago my father was prohibited to come into the kitchen my mom did not allow him she would put like these do not cross this line ribbons cuz he didn't know the rules and she was like you're going to start messing things up so he was prohibited of coming into the kitchen which he was very happy because he didn't have to wash anything he didn't have to do anything she would do I do the dishes I wash everything don't come in so my mom made the the kitchen koser so I can go and eat there now came PES and I told her you're not allowed to eat okay so she didn't eat kets but all of her kets were still was in her position possession she didn't sell it now for the next coming year I was not allowed to eat that nobody's allowed to eat the even herself she can't eat this cuz she owned it during during PES but you not allow to eat it for the whole year if you would if it would stay fresh till the next PES if she sells it so if hypothetically it's things that are sealed and somehow they kept their freshness then if she sold them again the next year in PES then after that you can eat it but usually a normal kitchen does not keep things for more than a year and if they keep things for more than a year I do not recommend to eat there so that's one thing so just know when you go to visit a relative that tells you yes I observed P you can ask did you sell your kets and if they tell you I did not sell my kets then all that KET has to be burnt I mean you would not eat it can you give it to n you can give it to an njo but uh if not then you have to you have to you cannot read it and if you want to H if if if that person is a person that's becoming more observant you have have to tell them that they can't eat it and they can either give it to a non Jew or to sell it or to burn it person says to you I don't keep any so theing is not necessary well they still have to sell their plates and their cups and everything yeah anything that has the taste of kets cannot be be a possession on PES so I am not going to be able to e in that kitchen not because she didn't do it and the plates are not exactly or the meat is not because exactly yeah yeah there's a lot of rules with there's a lot of rules with a kitchen that is kosher but is not observed the right way that's why a lot of people say I go to many houses and people tell me please sit down and eat with us and I'll and I'll tell them nicely that I when I can't eat in their kitchen so they will tell me I've been to houses they will tell me I'm vegan so there's no meat and there's no Dairy and and even in that case it's not good because I would tell them I I'm sorry I can still can eat because you didn't take your dishes to the mik whether you eat just carrots all day long it doesn't matter if you have a knife to cut the carrot the knife had to go to the mik so you have to be very careful with with a lot of people that they tell you I don't eat meat or I didn't eat kets throughout PES or I didn't have any kets but your stuff your plate your dishes they have the taste of the kets now not does it doesn't mean that all their stuff is has the taste of KET but the the things that is with ket and you can't eat it and then you might have a problem eating in the kitchen so you have to be very very very careful with that now what else okay this is exactly what we're talking about you got to be very careful with the of a Jew that there's a doubt that he didn't sell it during PES exactly how he needs to and that can be with store owners because you can have a store that all the products are very kosher all the products are 100% koser but the store owner is not keeping the laws now he owned all this during PES and now you come and you buy these kosher products from a store that are Jew own the products so you have to be very careful also with that so again when we live in a very small City like satat and you go into the same store every day and you see that the the KET was covered or stored and you know the store owner and in most cases if they have a certification you know that they are checked and obligated to sell everything even here you would still want to check that but when you go to a big city you have to be aware maybe wait a minute maybe that store owned the kets during PES and then I can't buy their products because they own that kets so that's why unfortunately it's very very tricky because sometimes you go to a big city like T Aviv and people live in Tel Aviv or they they they just travel there and they'll go into a supermarket and be like hey look all the products are Kosher I have no problem in buying this product right now you're right you don't have a problem but that product was owned by a Jew during PES and was not sold and now this is going to be a problem to eat so so you have to be very careful with that and I know it's becoming now a lot of people will be like oh my gosh now how how am I going to track that so you have to make sure that you in the next two 3 four months you buying in a very strict place that you know that their stuff was sold during PES I mean all usually here in Israel all the major stores and departments for food they they they do that in the diaspora then people that live abroad if you have family there if they live in a very Jewish Community then that's no problem but for the ones who live outside the Jewish communities and now in America you can find K Food almost anywhere now if it's in a big place like Costco and department stores like that that hold the ker food you have no problem CU most likely the owner of the store is not Jewish so you have no problem but when it comes to the small stores people have to be just very particular so I know this this puts people in a bind because they're like how am I going to track now he did sell it he didn't sell it so just that's why a lot of people say I'm just fine with buying the product that is kosher I don't care if the store is kosher so you you can buy kosher products in a store that is open on Shabbat you might have a problem because you know okay the owner of the store is not keeping Shabbat he's not observing the Shabbat most likely he didn't observe PES most likely it doesn't observe any role I told you time once that I went to a restaurant when I I once spoke to you about telling you how most of the restaurants they're not NE say that they're kosher they're not really Kosher for many different reasons to buy a sticker that says kosher cost exactly $20 so and I give an example that once I went to a a restaurant we went to my in-laws and my in-laws said yeah there's a kosher restaurant here let's go there and when I asked my my mother-in-law she was like all the religious people eat there don't worry it's kosher and when we came it had big signs kosher everything is kosher and then when we walked in and I you know looked around I didn't see nothing looked so so kosher there and when the the waiter came I asked him is the m here he looked at be like what told him is there m here and he was like I don't even know what you're talking about I told him is there a rabbi in the kitchen or somebody in the kitchen I was like no so I told him so who's in the kitchen so he says me and and Jose so I told him okay so I told him and I went to into the kitchen and and I was like is the owner of the place here no he comes at 11: he comes at 4:00 and I was like so there's no M here and he's like what's a MH I told him the one who comes and check everything he's like oh the rabbi comes every half a year once a year every couple months he comes I was like but every day there's nobody here he's like no so I told him so who who starts the oven so he says me so is in the food it's not Kosher here because you look like a you seem like a very nice individual but a Jew has to start the alen and if the Jew didn't start the Aven this is called Bish you can't eat it it's not Kosher so and I told him and I mean it was a dairy restaurant so a lot of people say oh Dairy Restaurant there's no problems with a dairy restaurant because the the milk doesn't need to be slaughtered but the problem is I told him do you when I now ordered an omelet did you do you check the eggs no why should I check the eggs yeah cuz some eggs have blood in them and do you check the salad I ordered a salad now you check the lettuce you check the the vegetables is there any bugs in it no we wash it and then I told him so the place is not Kosher he's like no everything is kosher and he pulls out products doesn't we see it says it's kosher he says yeah I'm very happy that the salt that you're giving me has an OU in it but who says the restaurant is open is kosher and I told him and are you open on Shabbat oh no no no we only come 3 hours before that to start preparing the food so when people come after Shabbat the food is ready open on Shabbat so you know it has all the nice stickers they get a certification from a rabbi that is retired or or is not particular about what's going on and people come they see a big sign kosher they see people with yamakas and they walk in and they think it's kosher so the RAB of the city I know even a place like s dieo is Miles Away the RAB would be a whe of a place like that maybe you know it's a different kind of but you think the thing is that there the the thing is that the rabbi that gave the certification that I'm sorry to tell you is not a rabbi this is what's called you're making the public fail so if he went to some course and got a certification I know women that are rabbis because they have a certification to go and learn the material and to go to an exam then that that anybody can do even an unu can go to a rabinal school and if it's not a Kosh of school they'll give him a certification a rabbi according to the is not the person who went to school to learn for that because in the olden days how it was and up until today in order to be a rabbi you have you need a rabbi to give you what's called SM to give you the the authorship or however you say that I don't know if I'm saying the right words is you getting a authorization how is it done not any Rabbi can give SM I can't give somebody SM you have to be a special Rabbi that is able to give SM for to be a rabbi now how it works in the the rabinal world you can have there's many different levels I mean 90% of the rabbis in the world they have what's called a certification and that's where it stops and then a fraction of them go to the next level like like you do an MBA and a and uh you learn to be a professor or whatever it is there's different levels next level is to be a Dian and then the next level there's many different levels in the rabbinical world and very few have the the authorization to give over uh I don't know how you say it in English ordination that's how you say it a rabinal ordination you need to be authorized to do that now in the rabinal world you can later on become a scribe a Mel uh whatever it is you can become a scribe in a mo without having a rabinal ordination one doesn't stop the other but in order to give somebody a reinal ordination you have to be uh allowed to do that and there's not a lot of rabbis in the world that are allowed to do that there's probably a couple dozens in in our generation and they got ordinated by somebody above them who got is that the right word ordinated yes and they got and all the way up to mosenu so mosenu was the first one who was able to give SM and SM is not a blanket in Hebrew is a blanket SM is the authorization to be able to be called a rabbi now to be called a rabbi that doesn't mean you're a rabbi cuz I do know people that they got a uh kosher but they if they don't follow the rules then they're they're they're they're not Kosher so to say so there are all sorts of schools and all sorts of places that they come and they tell you here we'll give you that so they teach you the actual material and you go to a test and you pass the test with flying colors but the certification you get is not a real certification so you might it might says Rabbi but if it was not given by the right Source you might have on your on your business card it says Rabbi but in the heavens you're not considered a rabbi so there are rabbis that they're not rabbis they just inherited the title I'm talking like in the case what you're talking about in a city so he doesn't care so like I told you I know women that are rabbis and and in their mind they they did the test and you know what they probably know the material better than other people but the fact that they know the material and they know the laws that's one thing the the whoever gives you the the the permission so to say or the status has to be a particular individual like in the in the king in the Kingdom worlds you can't just become a king a king has to anoint you at to you annoy you I'm sorry the point is that there are in a big city like New York you can know about everything that moves in a little city like San Diego yes you would expect the at least the rabbi of the city to hear what's going on and to go and check it this was also a pretty not such a big city it was in Philadelphia and Philadelphia has about 40 cor restaurants 50 CER restaurants could very much be that that the rabbi of the city doesn't know on them or that he doesn't know what's going on there he's busy in his own world he knows that this individual G gave the certification now a lot of times what happens I met into a situation I know we totally sidetracking but it's important to know when I lived in New York so there was a certain uh like Bakery SL cafeteria that we used to buy from and we used to go we saw the certification and there was nobody Jewish there which I don't care but some things they need to be turned on by the ovens have to be turned on by a Jew but anyways one time we noticed that the some of the products I looked once at the milk and the milk in America you recognize the milk right away when it's kosher it's not here that it all looks the same anyways long story short we noticed a couple times that there are all sorts of H problems there and when I called the rabbi and I told him and he's like no I didn't know and then he he obligated the place to correct it and he's like if not I'm just going to take away your certification now some places the rabbi will come check the place and will give a certification and leave and come once a week once two weeks once a month and he will count on the fact that the owner is going to see what's going on and that's not a good certification it doesn't mean the rabbi is not good some people if they doesn't have a certain certification they're like okay if it doesn't have that certification I'm not eating there and you have it here still even here in in Israel that they say okay I see the the stamp but if there's nobody on premises I don't want to eat here so some people are more lenient some people are less the point is that it's hard to trust it's when it comes to restaurants you have to be very careful and even here in spat half of the places here that have a certifications the owner is not observant so I think half of the pizzeria here on the mid they don't own by observant Jews they're very nice Jews everything is good and it's closed on Shabbat cuz we see that it's closed but it's not owned by Zing Jewel you have to make sure that those specific Pizzeria don't own the kets now here in is actually a pretty strict City so it's not so easy to get here a h but in a big city like you have to be you have to be careful so and again it's not putting somebody down you're more religious you're less religious it's just rules and there's rules and you need to follow them I'm going to your question because I lose a friend say yeah and it doesn't say that it is not specifically pieces of bread or cookies or and we have to understand that that it's everything you don't have to lose a friend you just have to be very diplomatic and you know when I became religious and they told me you have to sell your kets to a non Jew and I was like why sell I'll just give it it to him I don't need to sell him what I'm going to make a couple bucks no so I found a non-jew a friend of mine he told him here take all my stuff so I just gave everything away I didn't have anything and later on I was like wow you know I gave that individual stuff for hundreds of dollars then somebody told me you gave it you have to sell it I was like no I'm not going to going to make money on that person no he's like no you don't give it and get rid of it you sell it so in the first year I just gave everything away so I was like this is an expensive holiday just give all your stuff away so but it's not only the actual bread everything so the way to do it is to just be very diplomatic and not should come and say was this plate sold I'm not eating on this plate so you have to know how to do it it at the end of the day is is also very important and to break a person's heart or to insult them or to make them feel unworthy in your eyes because your plates they didn't sell it on PES you have to know how to do it not only that but anything that she brings to my house when she comes as a des and she cook okay that's when then you have you might have a problem yes yes so yes you definitely have to be careful okay let's move on cuz we talked about let's let's learn a little about that that might answer some of your questions okay what happens for a Jew that has possession of during P this is a very severe sin just by possessing it this is called you're not allowed to eat kets you're not allowed to see kets you're not allowed to to own kets these are to see your own kets you're not allowed to see if you're walking in the street and you see a nonu eating a roll that's no problem with that but your own kets you can't leave your own kets on the counter and in the corner you're allowed to see it in the street you can walk around and see you can you can't control that a je it's not yours it's not yours whenever it's not yours you have no problem so but your you're not allow to eat you're not allow to see you're all to own and if that was used or seen or definitely eaten during P this is prohibited forever you can't use this KET ever again case we have like a little cabinet that has glass doors you cover the glass door yeah take a piece of a cardboard of foil you cover the glass door anything to cover the glass door when we have glass cabinet we also have in a kitchen a few glass cabinets I just cover the glass with the with foil and I cover it from the inside that way nobody can peel it and see hey what's in here and I had that already we had a guest once who came in PESA and he was like hey what's in here and we're all like no no so you to do it for plates and better to do it for plates too so I mean this is a an addition why because you don't want to see even something that even even connected besides that while you s your comets you sell also your plates and then and you you don't want to have even the option of maybe something coming and oh here's my plate and opening the the the cabinet the rabbi of the city he even suggests not to even own the at all he's like whatever you have just finish it or get rid of it don't keep it in the home just keep your plates and your stuff like that but you have an open er box of whatever it is just give it use it finish it a month before PES clean your house don't even keep kets in your house and he says why because you know you might get confused for something and when you're talking about the plates if you see the plates you know most people they have it together some people can be like oh let me just pull out a plate and you forget that it's a sold and it's not yours then you're eating on something on sto stolen possession so that's already a different problem that's why it's good to close everything hide everything seal the the doors and and be very particular now it's very important to know that the said was seen owned by a Jew you can ever never enjoy it forever you can't even sell it after PES you can burn it or or or bury it or whatever it is p even if you did a before P if you saw it or owned it before P that's it it's it's gone you got to get rid of it what happens if you have a lot of in your house you allowed to sell it what we're just talking about selling the and you have to make sure that the this whole process of the selling you're taking it very serious you don't just do like a something so simple you have to also take to consideration and to understand right now I don't own my plates I sold it to Joe I don't own them not by saying okay we just made a joke here and no you that's why you want to cover it because if you open that cabinet during PES and you pull out a plate you just stole and you stole nothing something that doesn't belong to you now till when can you sell the you can sell it till the end of the fifth hour and the day of P meaning the hour in the morning depending where where you live can be about 10: in the morning 9: in the morning 11: in the morning usually it will be around 11: in the morning depending where you are around 10 11 12 these are usually the round of the hours where it happens what happens if you usually what you do is you give it you do it to the rabbi you don't go to your neighbor and say Hey Joe do you want to buy my you don't even know how to do it it's just it has to be done in a very particular way there is that's that's why it's highly recommended that you go to the bin you appoint the rabbi to sell your you give him your address you tell him exactly where your is who you are and you you appoint the rabbi to be your you're a representative by selling the kets therefore do not do it an hour before PES do it a day before PES you can go to the rabbi even today by the way he sells yous at the right time but ready to already do it today today you can do everything online you don't have to go to the B you just go online write your name do whatever you need to do if you do that does mean you can't any no no that's only going to be sold at the right moment which means you can still own it and eat it you can go today to the rabbi sign up give him your address tell him my is in the storage is in the right cabinet in the kitchen in the drawer in the this in in that room he writes everything down he takes your information he does a quinan what's called was called a quinan to to you allow him to represent you and an hour before P before the last of the fifth hour he sells it so until that hour you're allowed to eat it it's yours you just H appointed him to sell it for you how you buy it you just don't need it he does it all for you the rabbi does everything for you so you don't have to buy you have to buy it back the rabbi buys it back for you that's why said before you came a little bit late that don't run to the cabinet the second PES is over cuz the rabbi has to go and buy it back and usually the rabbis make sure because they know everybody's hungry so they go right away but it's a yeah usually half an hour 40 minutes an hour I just don't eat for another hour an hour an hour and a half first you can ask the rabbi the rabbi will tell you don't touch yourself till 9:00 a.m. 9:00 p.m. the rabbi will tell you if you do that and if you buy buy online they'll s send you an email and they'll tell no I'm not joking you one year we were far out we were in a far away place we went to conduct a little I wasn't was in the middle of nowhere so I got an email Y is now was bought again and you can use it now person who sells his through a rabbi or a a court to make sure that if you do it through a rabbi and I highly recommend you do it through a rabbi you want to make sure that you're doing it way in advance and not call him at 9:00 in the morning on Monday morning I have don't leave it to the last minute you can do it even today now you we also sell the vessels plates pots pans vents you don't have to to them in the M after P yeah but you don't have to put them in the mik after PES you have to appoint the rabbi to be your representative and you do that like I said by doing a kinan and more in it there are more rules how to do it that's why I don't suggest to do the sale by yourself because you have to do it with what's called Anan and you have to make a a and it's not there's a lot of rules that's why I made a mistake in the first year I just gave it to my neighbor better go to a rabbi Rabbi knows how to do it okay this is exactly what I said you made aan means that you give over possession to the to the rabbi you appoint him since there's a lot of rules in the selling and buying of the please make sure you make sure that you're doing it with a a rabbi that knows what he's doing I told you before that 90 95% of the rabbis in the world they're real rabbis they got an ordination they don't know how to do these things you have to go to a rabbi that knows how to do it go to the B this is aan who who knows exactly how to run this these things go to a rabbi of yeshu there's a very good chance that he doesn't even know how to sell the there's a lot of rules in it all the the vessels the utensils that you do not caser before P you have to wash them real real good at least 6 hours before p and to wash them in a way that there not going to have any on them so even the pots and pans that you sell for p you can't have on them by saying okay I'll wash it after the holiday you have to wash them real good before PES that's very important because a lot of people says okay I know all this stuff is dirty why bother I'll give you now an example we have an oven just for PES so just know when you eat here you have the the strictest certification so we have everything just for PES we don't CER the stuff for PES so we have an oven for PES so the old oven gets pulled out and into the storage but the oven still has to be cleaned we cleaned our oven perfectly and miraculously and I still ran the heat to make sure that if there's any left it's burnt why because even if I so it now this week this oven doesn't belong to me and everything else all our pots everything we sell we don't we don't CER anything we have sets of everything just for PES so even that has to be washed perfectly very clean and then we store it and then it gets sold so even though you sell it you still have to clean them it's extremely important that the stuff that sell you don't just leave it in the corner and put a blanket on it put it in a room close the door lock it or put it in a storage or whatever it is that you don't see it put everything in one closet put everything in one cabinet and and and better even to lock it that nobody will come in and be like hey what's here and we had that happen too we had one time in PESA that one of the kids just went into one of the cabinets took everything off and we still walking around I was like where did you get that from the cabinet how did you open oh no I took the I took it off and I you didn't see a big sticker that it says he like no I just he no he was able to read he's like I just didn't figure out why you put it there why' you put a sticker this big that says ketz he and you know what he told me then I thought the stickers so I put it aside I was like wow okay so you want to you want to make sure that it's all good and secure and if you have little kids to teach them that this drawer we don't open so anyways uh you got to make sure that it's all hidden very well now what happens if you don't seal the room because you have to use the room for whatever reason what happen let's say you have a big room you you took a room and you say this is where I'm going to put all my you get gathered everything in a corner but you still need to use that room it's a cabinet or whatever it is a walk-in closet and you have to take something that's going to be like a like a piece of board or a tabletop it has to be height of 20 which is about this height a is 8 cm so it would be the height of 1 M and 60 cm which would be about 70 something inches about this this should be like a to hide it okay what if you have everything boxes closed boxes this is also good as long as you don't have access to it or you see it if you push it all into a corner you either take a piece of board a a cardboard tabletop and you just lean it over that it will hide it and will be some type of a separation obviously it's always better to box it and lock it into a room but sometimes the reality doesn't allow you to do that and a minhag a lot of people they have wine from a a special Rabbi they got the wine from a a big Rabbi that did Kish now it's very popular that they go to to Big rabbis and he takes some of his wine and he pours it into many bottles and they sell these bottles uh you know it's very common in rsk's yeshivas that's what they do they buy a lot of wine he does kid or some or whatever it is and they pour all the wine in they sell these bottles to fundraise for theas in kabad people carry wine that the rebi did and they have a bottle and they pour wine in it all the time to keep the wine going I mean we have I have wine from the basali I have wine fromi I have wine from the I have wine that we just keep pouring in in it wine so this type of wine then if it's not Kosher for PES then you sell that wine too and we have what's called Le it's the honey cake that is given on we have also from so P you you wrap it real good and you sell that too can't keep it even though it came from a holy hand it's still humet it's still one piece no we have a bag with crumbs oh wow so and and yeah it's just keep it we keep it and sometimes we if we need we will mix it in food but it's not going to be so fresh but a little crumb it's still a holy crumb and uh believe it or not the crumb can do Miracles so we so we have holy wine have wine that I bought from that had a part of it from kaduri who is a very very big sadik I have wine from the basali and it's special wine and we sometimes We'll pour it into a cup or somebody's very sick we will mix just a drop or just a little crumb so that you have to sell for PES yes you meaning the wine anything that ising uh it's fine it's fine it's okay yeah especially when it comes when it comes to something like that when you just sold it for PES as long as they didn't start touching it and eating it you're not going to have a problem it's not going to lose its Holiness don't worry okay let's uh do a little bit more I actually thought we'll have more time to do much more so know let me let me skip to a few things that are very important okay I I thought I'll have much more time let me do just a few more things that are very important one of them is called and are we not allowed to cook on y we're allowed to cook but if it's attached to a Shabbat we're not allowed to cook from yomtov for the Shabbat this year we don't have that but if comes a situation that you do have that then we do what's called is that you take let's say a matah and a piece of fish that you're about to eat and you say a certain and that allows you to cook during yto for the following day but now what most congregations do I don't know if you noticed if you ever went to Pray by tons look on the wall I mean you see it from the women's section there's a huge cabinet and there's a matah in there did you ever notice that so go next time when you go to t look where the air conditioners are you'll see a box a matah is in there and it's glassed why because they do and all the congregations you might notice might not notice that but all congregations they will do what's called they do a certain blessing usually they will do it around p and they'll do it on a matah and that will allow everybody around in the to carry and also to carry in the building if you live in a building you need to have a which means you can carry from from one apartment to the other not to say that in a place that needs an you must have even if you have an you don't notice it cuz you didn't do the AR but they do the we just see the line around you know the the wire but the person who did that he runs the wire it has to be koser has to be a certain height that can be touched can be moved there's a way how to do the and then the actual person that will do the says a certain and it has to be done on a something that is now going to be public so this mat now belongs to everybody and it has to be done on food now since they the has to be valid during P so you can do the with a Kal so they do the r with matah and you'll see in many congregation that they have the matah hanging hi say everybody knows that's the roof there's a roof here so I'm just telling you now next time you go to the T sh here they have it out in the open in a nice box and you'll see it and you know there's a roof there I started with the shim that allows you to cook on y for Shabbat but they also do on P what's called the I am for all over is not true uh okay the first opinion says thatat does not need a ro because it's surrounded with mountains since it's surrounded with mountains it's like a walled City I don't know if you noticed on you read the the the Milla twice inat because it's a world city we have twice porim here this whoever holds by this opinion doesn't need an cuz we're surrounded with mountains there's no concept even until here some people do not go by that and there is aat you just take take it for granted if you go to the graves where the Aral is before you cross the line where the mik is look up and you'll see the RO so some people like you say take it for granted oh it's fat there are thousands of religious people here they're all carrying I'll carry too but some people don't go by that I had a guess not too long ago and I told him by the way I saw him you know putting things aside told him you know there's a here he's like I don't go by the my wife carries I don't hold by any and I was like fine any by any Ro so I was like fine go that's very nice of you I mean you go by what you go by but inat I can tell you that a you are surrounded with mountains B there is an in F because there are many different congregations there's Faris there's breast l there's kabad and each one goes by their own by their own ER additions but the majority and I really met a fraction of people they don't hold by they by anything here and they don't carrys but any place that ER that goes by an a then I mean any person that goes by an a carries here in spat no problem now we're not going to go through the entire rules of because we don't have it this year but it's always good to do regardless and to be able also to cook on yum so now we don't have time but I suggest you go through the r rules of the that you covered for the holiday now a few more important things that we need to know first of all you light candles on y like any other Y and it's important that you light it on time it's important that you buy if you light with wax that the wax is ker for p and if you light with oil then the oil is ker for PES and there are candles that will might not be ker for PES because how they make the consistency of the wax so you have to make sure that the candles that you buy has it says k for p same thing with the oil just I have a candle that I got recently that's PES but you already used it already used it better to buy a new havdala candle for p because if the wine was not koshered maybe the plate was not something might have been not koser there for the five shekels or 10 shekels that it costs buy a new one it's good to buy anything new for PES so just make sure again that you know how and when to light your candles few more quick things that I want you to know on P this this is important for you to know we have to do what's called Corban P many years ago when we had the bet mikdash we would take a sheep and make a sacrifice out of it it's called Corban PES now we do not have it on P in PES Monday afternoon after before we have to read theban P that we have in the S and it's extremely important it might take you 15 minutes before after you after you burn yours yeah on Monday after you burn the after when it's time to already pray you can choose exactly when make sure you grab the S and read theban P the the teachings of cabala explains that even though we don't do it physically with an animal you must do it reading and it's extremely extremely important and Powerful to do it in anyad you will find theban p usually it will be before the hag you want to check now on your Sid just to be double sure and usually most of the that will have a in it will have it if you don't then in your it will have P it's not so long it should take you not more than 10 15 minutes but make sure you're reading it and you have to to understand why you're reading in it and and the importance of it and very important thing that you need to do that's why I told you that before you come to our SED make sure that you're not late because on the first two nights of P we say after and we and we say it in in the night prayer it's a very rare time that we say Hal usually we say ones in before and and we will say Hal on on on P we we celebrating One Night in the diaspora they're celebrating two nights they we add Hal into the prayer so it's important to remember that and if you don't go to SCH then go to sh and if you don't go to sh then do it at home so we exactly let's read it that you know exactly what we need to do in the first two nights of p and in Israel it's one night you say with a congregation right after you pray you say after that what happens is if the first night of P happens on Shabbat then you say before that now Bel in the second night we say Hal and after that you know what we start saying which is extremely important we start counting the in is we don't have a second night we start counting in from the first night so we're going to learn a lot about following PES because a lot of women say ah I don't need to know even men but a lot of people don't bother to do that so we are going to learn a lot so stay tuned because we're going to learn a lot of very interesting information why we say Hal and you want to make sure that you say that because if you miss one night of saying H with a blessing you can't say it with a blessing anymore what did I say Hal sorry you have to be on top of it because if you missed one night of saying the OM without a blessing then the next till the end you can't say that you can count it but without the blessing so make sure that you go on P so you can say so you can say that you can participate in everything and not forget about it and saying is extremely important it takes exactly 5 minutes out of your life and we're going to learn a lot of it I know maybe now you might say okay it's just saying a sentence no there's a lot in it and in the next class that we're going to learn about the I'm going to just explain a little bit how it's connected later on to to the and why it's extremely extremely important hold on for just a second with a question and then I just want to bless can I do it no you mean to you mean before PES no no better to do it during the day better to do it during the day uh yeah you have to start counting on Monday night Monday night this year in Israel you have to start CL counting the OM and an individual like you that you have been here for the past you're not a resident of Israel but you have been here for at least 90 days you count the OM according to Israel not according to outside of Israel that's going to affect L of course it's going to affect L but if you live in Israel it shouldn't bother you if you're planning on leaving and coming back right now even though you're only here for a few months if you live in Israel you live in Israel if you now temporary here but you're not so temporary you're already here for months yeah and you're only leaving in August right September September you have to go by the land of Israel so you're going to start counting the OM on Monday and not not not because you are a visitor and say okay I'll start counting the next day that will be in in effect if you came here just for PES since you live here and you're going to leave way after shabat you count like us so will start on Saturday night yeah here here in Israel so the will start exactly the same but since you are here I'm specifically talking to you CU anyone who lives in Israel goes by by the Israel account but you and many others that come and spend a year half a year they say oh maybe because I'm American and I don't live here I should start counting the next day this would be right if you're planning on leaving way before the end of the OM or if you just came for a week people come for for a week for PES people come from America or from wherever so you you specifically and many others that live here for a short period of time they have to count according to our count which is Monday and then Monday night and exactly like you said L will turn on M shabat this year this is like B okay there's a lot [Music] more Monday night at sh in sh I mean if you don't go to sh stay it at home but better to say it in sh because most people that will stay home and pray will forget that you have to say Hal now when you're in sh you'll see even in sh people just continue and then thean will say the and they like o I almost forgot so the the advantage of going to sh same same thing with by the way there were a couple years and my wife did not come to sh for being exhausted from the preparation and she forgot to say and then at the end of the S I told her did you say oh I totally forgot about it so you want to make sure now also not only also Hal we're going to say Hal in the but you have to say that's one of the mitv in so if you don't go to sh make sure you put a some type of a mark in your but since it's an supicious time it's a y go to sh that's why I started the class by saying I know you're going to be in sh make sure you rush home don't take your time cuz we have to start the S there this was maybe I should have been more bold with my statement it was a hint go to Je this is a y this is the most holiest day of the year we're going to learn about it in a few minutes the night of p is the most holiest night of the year what happens on this night doesn't even happen on Kip so this is the night that you have to go out of your way go to sh show up in a in a synagogue and hear the Hal and pray and do whatever you need to do yes so you count after you get home from the station no no in the show if you went to show if you went to show you will counted with the congregation before the yeah before the S them and actually if for whatever reason you did not have the option of going to Shore or you live far away and there's no Shore come before s that's part of there's the order if you notice we're going to go through it in a few minutes in the next class the the night you know how it's called it's called L this should this s is is an order this this night should have been called L matah the night of matah or I don't know what P it's called because we that's where we're making SED we're making we're organizing everything and the also uh the word s is the it's I don't know the word in English how would you say in English that one comes after the other order s is also order which which means everything that you do on PES from Sunday morning meaning from I mean again if it will be a different Year from 24 hours before you burn the there's a SED there's an order you can't mix the order so if you mix the order throughout those 24 hours and 48 Hours going into PES you messed it up you didn't do it right you can't do whatever you want has to be in a certain order and we're going to learn in a few minutes why and that's why it's called L because first we're making organization everything we're putting in its place like we're in a messy house more than that if it doesn't go through the order you're not doing it right and you and you're not going to get the benefit of the of the holiday so if happens to be that you don't go to sh then still still say the still say and then do the the S the reason why I I recommended to go to sh is because you will stay home you will forget on the subsequent days between Passover do you say count count somewhere at sunset in the morning in the evening before you goed the right way to do it is you count it after the sun after the stars go out the stars go out at night at night at night night me they come out not go out yeah after the stars come out so you know I I translate in Hebrew you say they go out so come out yes when they appear after three stars appear now if for whatever reason you forgot or you fell asleep or something happened you can say till about 4: in the morning 4: 5 in the morning with a blessing if you forgot and the next day you remembered you can count it but you can't say the blessing but if you that morning forgot completely then the next day you can count was without a blessing so you have to be very particular and this is you know this is important it's good that you asked so let's just go over it because we're not going to have the opportunity to go over it again this year Monday night we count right after the stars come out that's the first night let's assume that for a whole week I was very particular and I was making sure that every night after the stars come out I say one night I was busy and I fell asleep and I woke up at 2:00 in the morning you wash your hands and you say with a blessing till till the dawn you can say it with a blessing if I fell asleep I forgot I fell asleep I woke up in the morning it's 2: in the afternoon it's 10:00 in the morning doesn't matter I can still say of that day just without a blessing and the next night I continue back with a blessing if I forgot that day at all I skipped the day and the next night I will count till the end without a blessing till the end you can't just you get you lost it and if there's one night that you have a doubt you just don't did I count yesterday I didn't remember if I count you don't remember you have a doubt then you continue counting without a blessing but it depends again there's different rules how far in you are if you counted the majority of it then some say you will continue with the blessing but if you're not 100% sure then you do it without a blessing and again it depends how far in if you're already counting 30 days 40 days then most likely it's already in your system and most likely you did count and you can continue with a blessing but just remember that if you forgot one night the next day you don't say with a blessing and if that day you forgot completely then the following night when you count no more blessings and you continue till the end without a blessing and that's where you see you know towards the end of the OM you might see it when you go to synagogue that very few men are already saying it with a blessing yes then yeah so now today there's a a a smartphone application that will remind you to say the H and that's why it's good to go to pray in a sh because the sh will count and it reminds you but is extremely important we're going to learn about it after p and the how to do it why to do it what's the connection it's very very powerful just like in general time or excuse me time pass or it's every night is something else no but as a hold doesn't have as a hold it's you you're able to tap into all the and you have to refine all the that's why we start the first week is the SPH of and we will count we count each each most people don't even know what they're doing they're just doing it like a parrot which is also good after P we will learn why we do it how we do it why why we do seven in seven we're going to go through all the we'll we'll have a lot of fun during the because it's a very powerful time but if you did not start the whole process in El it's almost worthless that's why L is the most important night and then we start and that we're going to learn b in a few minutes in the meantime let me just wish you a happy and kosher PES and should be a kosher PES and happy and somebody asked me not too long ago why do you say why do you add the kosher but doesn't need to be kosher and doesn't have to be kosher why so I told him if you take the word p and the word ker P then it has six letters in it and each of these six letters are all the holidays that we have throughout the year the pay of PES is P the of p is the of P isuka the CF of ker is Kim the shin of ker is sh and the of ker is so p i include all the holidays of the entire year in p and PES is one of the most powerful nights of the year here and the entire week is powerful every day in that week is beyond beyond important and when I'm saying powerful is what you can achieve this week what energy you can tap into and take advantage of that it can H benefit you for the entire year this one week of being on a diet and being particular and being very particular about details every night of this week you can draw mega lots of energy to last you for the entire year to deal with all your problems so we want to wish you a happy k and a [Music] k
