Good Shabbos!
Parsha Question of the Week:
SHABBOS HAGADOL?!
The Tosafists (Shabbos 87b) explained that the designation of the Shabbos preceding
Pesach as Shabbos Hagadol is in commemoration of the first Pesach in Egypt. Then, on the Shab-
bos preceding their Exodus, the Jews set aside their lambs for the Paschal offering. This was
highly dangerous, as these were the objects of worship of the Egyptians, yet the Egyptians were
miraculously rendered helpless and unable to effectively respond.
We know however that it was not Shabbos that was designated as the day to set aside their
sacrifices, it was the tenth day of Nissan (Shemos 12:3). It happened (?!) however that on the year
of the Exodus the tenth of Nissan was a Shabbos (see TB Shabbos 87b). Now we know that Jewish
events are always commemorated on the specific date of the original occasion, rather than on the
day of the week. We have no holiday weekends! Why then do we commemorate Shabbos
Hagadol, whatever day of the month it happens to occur, rather than the tenth of Nissan?
HALACHA OF THE WEEK: A FEATURE OF THE BJSZ DAILY HALACHA SHIUR:
HOW MUCH TO DRINK? WINE OR GRAPE JUICE? Everyone is required to drink four cups of wine at the Seder, at the specific points defined in
the Hagaddah. One is required to not simply take a sip of the wine, but to drink most of the cup,
and the cup should be more than 3 fluid ounces (a Revi'is). If one only has a cup that is much
larger and it is difficult for the person to drink most of it each time, then it is sufficient to drink for
each cup at least 1.6 ounces (most of a Revi'is).
Many people may find it difficult to drink that much wine. Is grape juice just as good? As
the requirement of the Four Cups is to demonstrate joy and freedom, there are many (including
HaRav Moshe Feinstein zt"l) who are of the opinion that this requires wine as opposed to
juice. Nevertheless there are other opinions (including HaRav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach zt"l) that
considered grape juice a very suitable alternative. As such, one who has difficulty with wine may
use grape juice.
An excellent Halachic compromise is the following: One may mix one third of a cup of wine
with two thirds of a cup of grape juice for each of the four cups, giving each of the cups the Halachic
status and the taste of wine, while limiting the actual alcoholic intake. This is Halachically superior
to drinking wine for the first cups and then resorting to pure grape juice for the last two cups.
