It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. Rabbi Buchko opposes strict ruling on moving to shelters Rabbi Shaul David Buchko responds to a stringent halakhic ruling that called on elderly women to move before Shabbat to a home with a protected space by elevator. Rabbi Shaul David Buchko, head of Yeshivat Kochav Yaakov, has published a new article responding to a recent stringent halakhic ruling that prohibits an elderly woman living on an upper floor from using an elevator to reach a shelter during an alarm. The ruling argued that she should have left her home before the onset of Shabbat. Rabbi Buchko firmly rejects this position, opposing any expectation that elderly individuals must evacuate their homes in advance. Drawing on the Shulchan Aruch, he explains that Jewish law does not require a person to alter their lifestyle or relocate simply to avoid a potential future situation involving danger to life on Shabbat. He emphasizes that real-life circumstances must be taken into account, writing that it is impossible to address matters of life-threatening risk through purely theoretical arguments that ignore the realities of wartime conditions, including logistical and family challenges. At the heart of his argument, Rabbi Buchko examines the status of electricity use and elevators. While the stricter opinion views such use as a full desecration of Shabbat, he aligns with authorities such as Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, who maintain that using electricity without ignition, such as LED lighting or modern elevator, constitutes a rabbinic, rather than Torah-level, prohibition. According to Rabbi Buchko, in the context of rocket fire, the situation qualifies as a case of life-threatening danger combined  with a secondary rabbinic restriction, allowing for leniency. He therefore rules that elderly, ill, or physically limited individuals may use an elevator to reach a protected space during an alarm and may also return home afterward, preferably operating the button in an indirect manner, such as with the back of the hand. "In a time of great need, such actions are not considered prohibited labor," he concludes, adding that in clear cases of significant necessity, there is ample basis for a lenient ruling.

RABBI SCHWARTZ'S TERRIBLE IRAN WAR JOKES OF THE WEEK I tried putting my phone on airplane flight mode, but it told me that option is no longer available in my area… Life in Israel- "Is that chametz on the floor?" "No, it's just missile shrapnel" "Oh Baruch Hashem.." Wartime Israel epiphany. Telling someone a new parent to sleep when their baby sleeps, is about as real as saying take a nap in between sirens. T-Shirt I bought last week. I survived Missiles in Israel  & Osher Ad Pesach shopping. Siren songs- Things that sound like sirens. Ambulances. Motorcycles. Pigeons, gusts of wind, creaky doors, Everything sounds like sirens… Israelite Home Front Command in Egypt Biological threat of the Ten Plagues A widespread biological event is affecting the land of Egypt.

They would fill their missiles with bread crumbs. Weaponized Chametz The War Time Shower Prayer With this warm shower, may no rocket pay a call And during a siren may no siren sound at all With soap on our hands, may we make no frantic dash Nor run to the shelter mid-suds and mid-splash And while we are dripping and mid-towel drying Maye we not be sent running and frantically flying Mae we safely emerge from this swift hygiene run, Completely rinsed off and not merely half-done May a miracle help us catch a lucky break And let us wash our hair for heaven's sake! There have been ten rocket attacks today. If we hit 13 we'll have to wish each other Mazel Tov on our bomb-mitzva Anyone mind taking a small package for me from our textiles factory in Dimona to Tehran. I got the feeling this morning that the mother of some Iranian is cleaning up her machsan/storage unit and found it full of chametz missiles and she's just throwing them away in panic. You know we're at war, when I got more messages on my phone today from Homefront Command then from Kupat Ha'ir. Today at 2:00 AM switch your clocks to whatever time you want. It's really not relevant to most of us anymore anyways.
