Shkolim 2b (2)

Mar Cheshvan 23, 5784. November 8, 2023

Short notes:

1- We discussed again the phenomenal story told by Reb Moshe with the fellow that spoke לשון הרע on the daughters of Lot.

Here it is in English.

R Moshe Feinstein, with R Leibel Kaplan, (Montreal).

2- The גמרא discusses the days for the מגילה reading. 14th of Adar for cities without walls and the 15th for walled cities.

Reb Chelbo’s opinion if one inside a walled city and reads it on the 14th. Does he need to repeat it on the 15th?

3- We reviewed the 2  אדרs in a leap year.

A- Purim – observed in אדר שני .

B- In אדר ראשון one is not allowed הספד ותענית.

C- In regards to becoming Bar Mitzvah – if one was born on any  אדר he becomes Bar Mitzvah in אדר שני. OC 55.

D – As the Rebbe points out, the Alter Rebbe totally omits this הלכה!

Also here.

E – The famous רמ”א at conclusion of אורח חיים.

תרצ”ז

וטוב לב משתה תמיד

Always good to be happy

 

F- The משנה states that on the 15th of אדר one of the tasks of the בית דין was to ensure that all grave stones, to avoid becoming טמא,  were marked properly by pouring/painting them with סיד, white plaster. ומציינין את  הקברות.

We discussed the מצבה that was found in a garden dating back to the year 5159.  הקנ”ט.

625 years ago.

That’s from year 1398!

The תשובה of the חתם סופר (YD 337) that discusses the ramifications of טומאה of this קבר.

Topics he touches upon are:

• עצם לוז.
• The disintegration of bones after many years.
• Bones of the people that perished in מבול.
• Bones that were revived by יחזקאל הנביא.

To be continued bl”n next Shiur.
