The Kaf
Hachayim (O. Ch. 226:2) writes not to make the Birchas Hailanos on Shabbos,-
and according to the Mekubalim who claim that by making the
Brocho, you pick the holy sparks (ניצוצי
הקדושה )
from the tree, you will be עובר על איסור בורר

Shemona Yemei Mila
In the Piyut of Echod Mi Yodea it says Shemoinoh Yemei Milah
eight days of Milah (based on the gemoro Eruvin 40b)
The meforshim ask , There is only one
day of Milah on
the eight day, and not eight days of Milah.
I heard an answer given by R. Chaim
Kanievsky Shlita.
There is an obligation not to
make a Bris before
the eight day.*
Therefore there are eight days of Milah .
The first seven days to make sure not
to do
the Bris and on the eight day to do it.
*many
poskim hold that you weren’t yotzei mitzvahs milah

Hallel On Purim-Do You have an answer
The Gemoro
(Megilah 14a) says Kriasa zu Hilila. Reading the Megillah is
the saying of Hallel. We don’t say Hallel on Purim, because by reading
the Megilah, we are praising Hashem.
The
Meiri says, if someone doesn’t read (hear) the Megillah, he must say
Hallel on Purim.
The
Gemoro (18b) says that R.Mier didn’t have a Megillah on Purim, so he wrote
one by heart. R. Yuda Osad zt”l asked the Chasam Sofer
(Shu”t O.Ch. 192) Why couldn’t he have said Hallel
instead of writing a whole Megilla.
The Chasam Sofer answered
him a Tirutz:
I can’t
understand these two Gedolim. What’s the Kushya?
The Gemoro
only says ,by reading the Megillah you were
Yotze Hallel
,and not that by saying Hallel were you Yotze
Mikra
Megillah.

The Maharatz
Chayos & the Chasam Sofer (Shu”t O.Ch. 208) both hold celebrating
Chanuka & Purim is a Mitzvah D’orysa (Min Hatorah).
How to
celebrate, lighting candles, Mikra Megilah etc. is D’rabanan.
We learn from
a Kal Vachomer, to celebrate when a neis (miracle) happens to
Klall Yisroel.
I was
wondering , when doing one of the Mitzvohs Hayom on Purim, Do you need
to have Kavanah* to be Yotze the Mitzvah D,orysa?
*Mitzvohs
D,orysa (celebrating) needs Kavanah

The Old Machzor-Daf Hashevoua
Daf Hashavua
Succah 34b
In the first
day Succos Piyut, (Shachris before Kedusha- Ekcho Vorishon) we say
“Boarovos Shtayim” (we take 2 Arovos) “Keimahos
Shtayim” (like the 2
mothers) - “Ba’agudos Arba” (we take the 4 minim)
“Kigvo’os
Arba” (like the 4 mothers).
The obvious
question is, are there two or four mothers?
My father
a”h,in Shul, was troubled by this question so he looked in the Mateh
Levi who says the 2 mothers are Leah & Rochel.
My father wasn't satisfied with this Pshat.
He came up with his own Pshat.
He came up with his own Pshat.
When he came
home from Shul, he checked in the Heidenheim Machzor, he
had kept at home.
Hachacham
Wolf Heidenheim writes, he found a very old Machzor where it
says, instead of Keimahos (mothers) – Keamhos (maids).
Instead of a
Chirik under the Alef it is a Patach, referring to
the two maids Bilha & Zilpah. This makes perfect sense.
The Aravos
which are the least of the Arba Minim represent the
Amahos. My father was very excited because he came up with
that exact same Pshat, before he saw the Heidenheim.
That same
evening I went to Mr. F. Greenwood a”h home. In his
massive library he had 3-4 first & early prints of Machzorim.
They were all
printed In the beginning of the 16th century.
I checked,
and in all of them it said Keimahos
(not like Heidenheim)
There
was one more Machzor , a manuscript, written in
the 14th
century . In this Machzor it does say Keamhos
with aPatach under
the Alef. This same Machzor, is probably ,the
one, Heidenheim had in mind, when he wrote he foundin an old
Machzor Keamhos.

women and not the opposite (men to women - women to men)
Why ?

What Is The Purim Leap?
THE PURIM LEAP
The Gemoro ( Sanhedrin 64b) כמשוורתא דפוריא . Rashi explains “On Purim,
children made a fire in a pit and jumped over
it.”
The Rema (*Darkei Moshe O.Ch. 690) quotes from the Aruch who
writes.
All Bachurim make an effigy of Haman and hang it on their roofs
for a few
days.
When Purim comes, they make a fire and they have a ring on which
they hang the effigy over the fire. They jump from one side (of
the fire)
to the other. This
ring is called *Mashvarta Depurim.
*This Darkei Moshe is printed only in the new Turim or in the
single volume Sefer D.M.(not in Tur)
* Shavarta = leap-jump
