SHABBAT VAETHANAN

Undoubtedly, the most visited place in the country was the Tomb of Rabbi Amram Bendiouan. His Hilula was attended by mul-

titudes of people expressing the highest fervor of their faith. Nevertheless, very little is known about this Hacham, who was

passing by Morocco for the first time. Rabbi Yoseph Benaim, author of the famous book “MALCHE RABANAN” edited in 5691

(1931) where he writes short biographies of hundreds of the Hachamim of Morocco, states the following:

“MORENU HARAB AMRAM DIOUAN (for some reason he refers to him as Diouan and not Bendiouan): Of the Rabanim of the Ho-

ly City of Hebron. Went out as a messenger of that Community for fund raising in the internal Occident (this refers to Morocco)

in the year 5542 (1782) and in the month of Ab in the same year, he was taken away by G-d in the town of Ouezzan where he

was buried. Rabbi Amram was known for performing miracles and from all the countries of the West, people came to his

Tomb. Marvels of marvels which can be told, only a little from very little and one in a thousand. I heard that when he was visit-

ing in the town of Taza, together with his son, they stayed with a friend called Benchimol. Rabbi Amram’s son became gravely

ill, he prayed for him and he became immediately well. Upon gaining consciousness, he asked his father for some figs. Rabbi

Amram told Mr. Benchimol to buy figs for his son to which he answered: Rabbi, where could I get figs from, this is not their

time, not even one would be found. He told him: “go out anyway and buy the figs. The man went convinced that he would

come empty-handed. When he entered the market, an Arab approached him and in a whisper, offered him figs. The man ac-

cused him of making fun of him, at which time he took from under his clothing five beautiful figs. He bought them and took

them to the Rabbi. From this they realized that he was a holy man to whom G-d fulfilled even his smallest desires and prayers.

The day of the 15th, of the Ab the Hilula of the Tzadik is celebrated and we pray to the Almighty that his zechut be always a

source of blessing to us.

Insights on the Torah By Haham Amram Assayag

Help Us Grow Together

Serving at a Meat Meal, Parve Foods That Were Served at a Dairy Meal The Talmud Yerushalmi (Pesahim 6:4) establishes that if a person eats a dairy meal and then prepares to eat a meat meal, he must remove the pieces of bread that were on the table during the dairy meal (listen to audio recording for precise citation). Given the concern that the bread came in contact with dairy food, it may not be used with a meat meal. Hacham Ovadia Yosef ruled that this Halacha applies only to the pieces of bread cut from the loaf, but not to the loaf itself. The actual loaf of bread generally remains separate from the other foods on the table, and we are therefore not concerned that it came in contact with dairy food. This concern arises only regarding the pieces that were cut from the loaf to be eaten together with the other foods on the table. Hence, a loaf that was on the table during a dairy meal may be brought to the table for a meat meal. This is, of course, on the condition that one was careful not to cut the loaf with a knife used with dairy foods. What is the status of other Parve foods, such as salads, with respect to this Halacha? If a person served salads with a dairy meal, may he then bring those salads to the table for a meat meal? Strictly speaking, one may use the salads for a meat meal, provided that he was careful to keep them away from dairy foods, meaning, that spe-cial, Parve serving utensils were used for the salads. So long as one made a point not to serve the salad with the same utensils used for the dairy foods, the salad may, on the level of strict Halacha, be served again at a meat meal. Nevertheless, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (Russia-New York, 1895-1986), in his work Iggerot Moshe (Y.D. 38), ruled that as a "Misva Min Ha'mubhar" (higher standard of Misva observance), it is preferable not to serve the salads at a meat meal. Particularly when young children are present at the table, one cannot always ascertain that no dairy food made it way into the salads on the table, and it is therefore advisable not to serve the salads at a meat meal. Thus, although serving the salads at a meat meal is technically permissible, it is preferable not to use them with meat. Summary: One may serve at a meat meal a loaf of bread that was served during a meal, provided that care was taken to keep the loaf away from dairy food. One may not, however, serve the pieces of bread that were cut from the loaf during the dairy meal. Parve foods such as salads served at a dairy meal may, strictly speaking, be served at a meat meal, though preferably this should not be done.

”בשבתך בביתך ובלכתך בדרך ובשכבך ובקומך“

“When you dwell in your house; when you walk on the

road, when you lie down and when you rise.”

This famous statement in Shema Yisrael refers to

Bene Yisrael’s obligation to love Hashem and His

Commandments in all aspects of life. The Vilna

Gaon has a beautiful explanation on this verse.

He states that man finds himself in four possible

states throughout the day: dwelling (sitting), walk-

ing, sleeping and rising. These are all hinted in this

verse: בשבתך בביתך (dwelling) ובלכתך בדרך (walking)

(rising) ובקומך (sleeping) ובשכבך

Corresponding to this are four parts to the day.

Morning corresponds to rising. Afternoon corre-

sponds to walking. The first part of the night is for

sleeping and the second part of the night is for sit-

ting (and learning).

Taking these parts of the day into consideration

are the four prayers that were instituted. Avraham

instituted Shaharit when he woke up. Yitzhak insti-

tuted Minha when was walking in the field. Yaakov

instituted Arvit before he went to sleep and David,

the author of personal prayer and Bakashot would

dwell early in the morning praising God.

Finally, there are four “worlds” corresponding to

these four stages of a man’s day. This world corre-

sponds to walking as we walk to complete the var-

ious missions we have on this world. When we die,

we enter the grave which understandably corre-

sponds to lying down. The time of Tehiyat Ha-

Metim (resurrection) relates to rising and the next

world (Olam Haba) is referred to dwelling as those

who merit the next world dwell in a world filled

with spirituality and bask in Hashem’s glory.

Shabbat Shalom.
