When Tisha B’Av is Motzai Shabbos/Sunday — A Concise Guide –

Due to the fact that this year Tisha B’Av falls out on Motzai Shabbos (Saturday Night) and Sunday, there are some modifications from the “typical” Tisha B’Av practices.

These are some of the issues that present themselves under such circumstances as we have this year:

On Shabbos, some only learn things which are allowed to be learned on Tisha B’Av itself (i.e., sad topics concerning the Churban, Iyov, etc). The Mishnah Brurah cites the Taz who says that since it is Shabbos, one can learn any area of Torah.
On Shabbos afternoon, we will daven mincha early at 3:45PM. Afterwards, we go home and eat Shalosh Seudos. One is allowed to continue to eat and drink (even meat and wine since it is Shabbos) until the fast begins at sunset (7:45pm). At sunset, one should stop eating and drinking. Note that the classic “seudah ha’mafsekes” with eggs and ashes while sitting on the floor is NOT done, due to the fact that it is Shabbos.
After Shabbos ending time (8:36PM) we will say, “Baruch ha’mavdil bein kodesh l’chol,” thereby ending Shabbos. We will change into “weekday clothes” and Tisha B’Av shoes. We will begin Maariv late at 8:50 pm in order to give everyone time to change and get back to Shul.
After Maariv, Havdalah is NOT said since we are not allowed to drink. Therefore we say, “Baruch ha’mavdil (as stated before)” and/or “Ata chonantanu” in Shemoneh Esrei. After Maariv, we will pass around a Havdalah candle and the bracha “borei meorei ha’eish” is said. The rest of havdalah will be said Sunday night after the fast.
The rest of Tisha B’Av remains unchanged, with all the restrictions as a “regular” Tisha B’Av.
Sunday night after the fast has concluded at 8:33PM, we will then – before eating – say Havdalah. However, since it is not Saturday night, we just make the bracha over the Havdalah beverage [i.e., wine (ha’gafen) or beer (she’hakol)] and then the bracha of “ha’mavdil (the last paragraph of Havdalah).” Since it is Sunday night and not Saturday night, the opening paragraph of “Hi’nei kel ye’shuashi” is not said, and no spices are used. The bracha over the candle will have already been said Saturday night.
The “regular” restrictions until Monday (10^th of Menachem Av) remain in force just like on a “typical” Tisha B’Av.

We hope that this guide is helpful in clarifying the issues. We pray that this be the last year that we mourn on Tisha B’Av!

Bullet Points for Mark Magid’s shiur – This week Sefer Yonah

· (Yonah 3:1) – Yevamos 98A says that Yonah had 2 navuas not 3. How can we understand this when he had 3 in this haftorah itself, plus another navua in Melachim B 14:25/

· Yonah 1:2 – Hashem commands Yonah to go to Ninveh to cry out against her .. but here in 3:2, Hashem orders Yonah to cry out to her. Why the difference between the two commands from Hashem?

· According to the Yalkut Shemoni, why did Hashem first tell Yonah to go to Ninveh, and only later tell him what to say? Why didn’t Hashem tell Yonah everything at once?

Empowering the families of Sderot Project Shabbat Shalom

(Rav Summers knows of this organization through his father in law—and believes it would be it would be a great thing to contribute to during the 3 weeks to demonstrate our ahavas Yisroel)

http://connectionsisrael.com/empowering-the-families-of-sderot

After meeting with a few organizations and key people in Sderot, Connections Israel has decided to direct funds towards a wonderful new program called Shabbat Shalom. The goal of this project is to empower the families of Sderot. “It is better to give than to receive.” Shabbat Shalom enables the residents of Sderot to give instead of only receive.

Each month, hundreds of individuals and families request to visit Sderot. While the Sderot community is warm and welcoming, they are unable to financially support the large numbers of people who want to come and show their support.

Currently 100-150 individuals are being hosted every Shabbat in Sderot and the plan is to increase this number by 1/3. In other words, an additional 30 families from around the country will now be hosted by local families for Shabbat!

Hosting a family is complicated as well as financially taxing when taking into account the depressed economic situation of the area. To address this demand, an eight room complex will be rented and refurbished in order to house these Shabbat guests in addition to the home hospitality already available.

Also, each host family will receive a voucher that will be redeemable in the local stores to cover the additional food costs for Shabbat meals. The indirect benefit to this is the way in which it boosts the local economy, in addition to enabling the local residents to give to others.

During Shabbat, the visitors will be exposed to the people and the community while having the opportunity to attend lectures and engage in various other educational and cultural programs. This program has already been piloted in one area of the community. Participants in this pilot project have reported an increase in self esteem, something positive to look forward to, and renewed strength and conviction to remain in Sderot. Now, not only individual families will be able to participate in this project, but entire communities will be able to come as a group.

This will help new friendships to develop and reciprocal invitations to be extended.

Connections Israel will play a major role in supporting this program for the next 12 months.

Even from a distance, you can be a part of Shabbat Shalom and participate in the mitzvah of Hachnasat orchim, welcoming guests. The cost of hosting one family is $150.

All donations are greatly appreciated! Questions? hillel@ConnectionsIsrael.com

Shabbat Shalom – sponsor a family for Shabbat in Sderot $150 (per family)

Shabbat Shalom – sponsor 10 visitors for Shabbat in Sderot $300 ($30 per visitor)

Bullet Points – Rav Summers’ Hilchos Shabbos Shiur

· What is the purpose of a blech?

· How and can you reheat foods?

· How do you or can you , “blech” a crock pot?

· Why is “state ” and “method” important for hilchos bishul?

Bullet Points for Mark Magid’s shiur – This week Haftorah Parshas Pinchas

· When HaKodesh Baruch Hu appeared to Klal Yisroel at Har Sinai, He appeared amidst fire, shofar blasts, smoke and other pyrotechnics. When He appears to Eliyahu in this week’s Haftorah, it’s a thin, small voice. Why the difference?

· When Eliyahu meets Elisha and transfers over the ‘Navuaship’ to him as the next Navi, Elisha says ‘Can I go say goodbye to my mother and father?’ Eliyahu says ‘Go – What have I done to you?’ What does he mean by the cryptic ‘What have I done to you?’

· Chazal say that Pinchas and Eliyahu are the same person. Pinchas was rewarded in the parsha for his act of zealousness, but Eliyahu’s act of zealousness was met with Hashem’s disapproval. Why the difference between Pinchas and Eliyahu who according to Chazal are the same person?
