Pesach 5782

 

Pesach 5782 As mentioned last week, we are digressing from our regular ויבינו במקרא series to focus on Inyana D'yoma. Dedication opportunities are available in honor of a simcha, yahrzeit, or any other momentous event. Call our office or email us for more information. ארבע כוסות This week's sugya discusses the Takana instituted by Chazal to drink four cups of wine at the Pesach seder. We discuss the various reasons for this enactment. We discuss the parameters of this obligation - is it mainly to praise Hashem over a cup of wine, or is it to drink four cups of wine? Other questions addressed include: Can one be motzee someone else or must each individual have his own kos? Must each kos be drunk at its designated time, or is it sufficient to just drink all four, one after the other? May one use chamar medina for the Arba Kosos? Also included are discussions and eye-opening teshuvos from gedolim from Brisk, Choslovitz and Warsaw regarding fulfilling the mitzvah of Arba Kosos in light of the severe shortages during WWI. ארבע כוסות The timing of many Chaburos this past Sunday coincided with the levaya of the Sar HaTorah, Maran HaGaon Rav Chaim Kanievsky, zt"l. Thus, many Roshei Chabura prefaced their shiur klali with short divrei hesped. The shiur on the sugya ברכה על ביטול חמץ from Rabbi Avrohom Snyder, rosh chabura of the Zichron Pinchos chabura in Lakewood, has been uploaded to our site - with the first few minutes discussing Rav Chaim's greatness in Torah and Ahavas Yisroel, along with a personal story.
