What Should Diabetics Do Regarding Seder?10 Nissan 5774 April 10, 2014 http://www.jerusalemkoshernews.com/2014/04/what-should-diabetics-do-regarding-seder/
The following information was released by the spokesman’s office for the Chief Rabbinate of Israel pertaining to how a diabetic may contend with the yomtov demands of seder night. The responses were provided by Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi David Lau Shlita. This refers to a diabetics using diet, tablets or injections of insulin. The Mitzvah of 4 Cups of Wine: In cases of need, one may drink only a majority of a revi’is for the last cup too. The Mitzvah of Eating Matzah: Eating Charoses: A diabetic who uses injects insulin numerous times or receives insulin via a pump usually checks blood sugar levels a number of times daily to adjust each dose. Such a person may ingest the wine and matzah and adjust the insulin accordingly to compensate, giving oneself a bit more than usual to address the increase in blood sugar.

Pesach Seder From Rav Shalom Arush
Chut Shel Chessed By Rav Shalom Arush Shilita Practices and Halacha for Seder Night Everything starts with Emuna. A person prepares himself as well as he can and prays as much as he can and he has a desire that everything will go ok, but Hashem has his plan and therefore everything begins with Emuna that ‘everything is for the best’ and ‘this is the way Hashem wants it to be’. When Rabbenu wrote that there is a concept of “lo b’seder” (not ok/not in order), it means that there is ‘seder’ (things are ok/things are in order) from the point of view of Hashem, but from the point of view of man, it seems that things are not b’seder (not ok) and that person needs to accept it with Emuna.
One should arrange the table and the seder plate on erev Chag, during the day. We arrange the seder plate is according to the Ari (that means in the shape of two ‘segolim’ [a Hebrew vowel with three dots]). We place the three matzot (representing the sefirot – chachma, bina and daat) and place over them a nice cloth, and on the plate we place the zeroa (shankbone) on the right side (representing the sefira of chessed), the egg on the left side (representing the sefira of gevura), the maror that we bless on under the two of them in the middle (representing the sefira of tiferet). The charoset goes below the shankbone (representing the sefira of netzach), the carpas (parsley) goes below the egg (representing the sefira of hod) and the maror that we use for ‘corech’ goes below the two of them in the middle (representing the sefira of yesod) (and the plate itself represents the sefira of malchut); as follows: Egg Shankbone Maror (for bracha) Parsley Charoshet Maror (for corech)
Before making Kiddush, the leader of the seder should inform everyone: “I will have the intention to fulfil the obligation on your behalf in all of the blessings on the wine, on the Kiddush and on the Shechechiyanu. It is your obligation to intend that the blessing of shechechiyanu should cover the mitzvahs of eating the matza and on the entire Pesach itself. Also, after making Kiddush, everyone should drink while leaning to the left.” Everyone should say the “l’shem yichud…” (“for the sake of the unification…”) which appears in most Haggadahs and also say the prayer for preparing oneself to drink the four cups of wine [which appears below – at the end of this sheet].
One should explain to the children that there is a halacha that if a person eats something dipped in a liquid, one should wash his hands before eating it. Even though the whole year we are lenient not to follow this law, on seder night we are strict on this in order to cause the children to ask questions and to stay interested.
One should take care to specifically buy the vegetable called ‘carpas’ (ie “celery”) because there are important kabbalistic issues in this (and one should be careful to buy vegetables that are grown free of worms!). The leader of the seder should remind everyone that eating the carpas is a preparation for eating the maror and his intention should be that his bracha “…borei peri ha’adamah” that he makes on the carpas also covers the maror. A person should not eat more than a kazayit of carpas in order not to obligate himself to make an ‘after bracha’. (If he erred and ate more than a kazayit, he does not make an after bracha). Also, we do not lean while eating the carpas because it teaches about the bitterness of the slavery and leaning is a sign of freedom. One should leave a little of the carpas on the seder plate because according to the kabbalah the seder plate should remain complete until after eating the matza and maror.
Before breaking the middle matza, the leader of the seder should announce in a loud voice in order that everyone hears: “Just like we break the matza, Hashem split the sea into twelve parts when we left Egypt.” This matza should be split into two pieces, the larger piece into the shape of the Hebrew letter “vav” and the smaller piece into the shape of the Hebrew letter “dalet” or into a square shape.
Before reading the Haggadah (ie ‘magid’) one should read the passage from the Zohar that appears in some Haggadahs, which explains the importance of the Haggadah. The Haggadah is read together out loud by all those present and with ‘crying out’ as described by Rabbenu [see Likutei Moharan, 20:10] and there are sections that are sung together (like “Ha Lachma Anya” etc, and each family should follow its own customs in this regard). We read a section together and then stop and explain that section (sometimes explaining the section beforehand, and the entire seder should follow the same pattern, in a way comfortable for you). One should be careful however not to overly lengthen the explanations. In principle, one should explain the section of Rabban Gamliel “anyone who did not say these three things on Pesach did not fulfil his obligation, and these are Pesach, Matza and Maror. Pesach which are forefathers ate at the time the Temple stood for what reason… Matza which we eat for what reason… Maror which we eat for what reason…”
Before drinking the second cup of wine, the leader of the seder should remind all present (including men) to drink the wine while leaning. All should say together the “l’shem yichud” that appears in Haggadahs and also the special prayer before drinking the four cups [as written out at end of this article]. There are those that follow the Shulchan Aruch not to make a bracha on the second cup and those that follow the Rama who says to make a bracha.
Before washing the hands, the leader of the seder should remind those present that the only mitzvah d’oraitta (Torah commandment) that we still have on seder night since the destruction of the Temple (that it should be rebuilt speedily in our day) is the mitzvah to eat matza. The rest of the mitzvot are only Rabbinic nowadays. Therefore everyone should intend to fulfill the mitzvah of eating matza for the sake of the Torah commandment “ba’erev tochlu matzot” (“in the evening you shall eat matza”).
The matza for seder night for the mitzvah of eating matza should be handmade shmura matza (meaning guarded from the time of harvesting). (One who wants to eat ‘soft matza’ has on whom to rely. However, the custom is to eat hard matza). The matza used for the ‘corech’ can be machine-made matza, and so too the matza used for the rest of the days of Pesach should also be machine-made matza particularly. [This is explained by the Yalkut Yosef for two reasons, firstly there are those who believe that machine matza is more ‘mehudar’ and secondly as handmade are more expensive, there is no need to spend the extra money – and if a person has money to spend he is advised to buy the less expensive machine made ones and give the saving to the poor].
For the purpose of Maror, one should take lettuce leaves for each one of those present (and be careful to buy vegetables grown free of worms). Before eating the maror, dip it in charoset and shake off the charoset from the leaves in order not to cancel out the taste of the maror. Say the “l’shem yichud” which appears in the Haggadah, and eat the maror without leaning. The way of eating it should be the way one normally eats lettuce, comfortably and without pausing, and without looking at the clock at all.
For the purpose of corech, one can use machine made matzot. One should take a kazayit of matza from the bottom piece and a kazayit of maror (if there is not enough matza in the bottom piece for all those present, one can take other shmura matza) dip them in charoset (and now there is no need to shake off the charoset), say the section in the Haggadah “Zecher lemikdash ke’Hillel” and eat while leaning, without a bracha. The way of eating should be relaxed and without pausing and without looking at the clock at all.
There are those who have a custom to eat eggs at the beginning of the meal. At the meal, we do not each sharp (charif) food, instead only sweet food. (Therefore also the meat or chicken on this night should be marinated in sweet sauce, for example honey etc). One should not eat roasted meat at this meal, even roasted chicken. A wise person will not eat too much in order that he will have an appetite for the afikoman and not eat it on a full stomach.
One should be careful to eat the afikoman before midnight (halachic chatzot). However, Hallel can be said after chatzot. Ideally (l’chatchila), one should give to all present a small piece of matza from the afikoman and if there is not enough matza he should take from other shmura matza, and one can also use machine made matza. One should eat a kazayit of matza while leaning (including women), for the purpose of the afikoman in memory of the korban Pesach, and there are those who are strict to eat an additional kazayit of matza that was eaten at the time with the korban Pesach. Those who are strict to do so will be blessed. Before eating one should say the “l’shem yichud” appearing in the Haggadah. The way of eating should be relaxed and continuous and without looking at the clock at all. After eating the afikoman, one shouldn’t eat anything else and it is permitted only to drink the final two cups of wine, and water, in order that the taste of the afikoman should remain in one’s mouth.
Before birkat hamazon, the leader of the seder should remind those present (including women) to drink the wine while leaning. Before drinking the third cup, everyone should say together the “l’shem yichud” and also the prayer prepared for drinking the four cups.
The Hallel should be sung like they sing it in Chut Shel Chessed, and when you get to the place where it says “Hodo Lashem Ki Tov, Ki Leolam Chasdo” and also “Ana Hashem Hoshia Na” one should say it like we do in prayers, meaning the leader says it out loud and the others reply, in the usual way).
Before drinking the fourth cup of wine, the leader of the seder should remind those present (including women) to drink the wine while leaning. Before drinking the fourth cup, everyone should say together the “l’shem yichud” and also the prayer prepared for drinking the four cups. There are those who follow the Shulchan Aruch not to make a bracha for the fourth cup, and there are those who follow the Rema to make a bracha. After drinking the fourth cup, one should not eat anything and not drink anything other than water.
After saying the prayer “Chasal Seder Pesach”, one should sing all the piyutim and songs written in the Haggadah whose foundations are the heights of Holiness.
Prayer Before Drinking the Four Cups of Wine [Note: Insert the appropriate wording for each of the four cups.] Behold, I hereby bind myself in the positive obligation of drinking four cups of wine, on this festival of Pesach, to all the true Tzaddikim of our generation and to all the true Tzaddikim who rest in the dust, the Holy ones who rest in the ground, and in particular to our Holy Rabbenu, the foundation of the world, the flowing stream and source of wisdom, Rabbenu Nachman the son of Simcha, the son of Feige, whose merit shall protect us and all of Israel, Amen. For the sake of the unification of the Holy One Blessed Be He and the Shechina in awe and love, and in love and awe, to unify the Holy name of Havaya, the letter yud and the letter hei and the letter vav and the letter hei, in a complete unification for the sake of all Israel. I hereby prepare myself to fulfill the will of Hashem to fulfill the mitzvah of drinking the [first / second / third / fourth] cup from the four cups, which corresponds to the letter [yud / first hei / vav / last hei] oftheHoly name Havaya which is [Chochma / Bina / Tiferet / Malchut]. May it be Your will, Hashem, my G-d and G-d of our forefathers, that I merit through drinking this cup to “the one who merits will be made a head” that I merit to rectify my mind, for wisdom, for an expanded mind (mochin d’gadlut). And that I merit through drinking this wine that my mind is uplifted and my intellect expanded until I rise up to the root of intellect (daat), which is an aspect of the root of Torah and mitzvot, through which I will merit to desire and strengthen myself to fulfill the Torah completely, and save me from “the one who does not merit will be made poor”, save me from a contracted mind (mochin d’katnut) and from sadness. That I merit from drinking this wine to “the one who merits will be happy” that I merit wine that makes one happy, and merit great happiness and very great joy, and through this to increase in telling stories of leaving Egypt, and save me from “the one who does not merit will be made desolate” and save me from wine which causes drunkedness, and that I will merit from drinking this wine to clarify and rectify the imagination completely, which is Holy Emuna. And that I merit by drinking this wine to wake up from sleeping in materiality and spirituality, meaning that I merit to be bound to Hashem always and guard me that I do not fall into sleeping in materiality and spirituality, and that I merit in drinking this wine to rectify the blemish of Adam HaRishon that drank the wine which Chava squeezed for him. Master of the Universe, make it that by drinking this [first / second / third / fourth] cup of wine, that I merit [complete faith / prayer / miracles / the Land of Israel], that I merit the Holiness of the Land of Israel completely, and that now already the Holiness of the Land of Israel shall be revealed. And nullify from me completely the husk of [the “storm wind” / the “great cloud” / the “blazing fire” / “Noga”] and nullify from me completely [the spirit of foolishness / the spirit of licentiousness / the spirit of arrogance / the spirit of impurity]. This cup shall correspond to the language of redemption of [“v’hotzaiti etchem” (I took you out) / “v’hitzalti etchem” (I saved you) / “V’ga’alti etchem” (I redeemed you) / “v’lakachti etchem” (I took you out)]. And may it be Your will my G-d and G-d of my forefathers that you take all of Your people Israel from all four corners of the world and bring them quickly to the Land of Israel, and bring our righteous Moshiach and build our Holy Temple and reveal Your Kingship completely, Amen. May the pleasantness of the Lord our G-d be upon us, and the work of our hands establish for us, and the work of our hands establish it (“va yehi noam Hashem Elokenu alenu umaaseh yadenu konnena alenu unmaaseh yadenu konnenehu”). |

On Sunday, April 6, Rosh Chodesh Nisan, (the first day of the month of Nisan), called by Torah, “the first of your months,” (Exodus 12:2), at the conclusion of a full day of divrei Torah and explication on the practical considerations of performing the korban Pesach – Passover offering – in our day, the gathering of students and Jews desirous of being as ready as possible for the renewal of the korban Pesach came together one more time in a courtyard of the Old City of Jerusalem, to take part in what may best be described as a Passover offering rehearsal. Led by the Director of the Temple Institute, and Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, the Institute’s Founder, with the assistance of licensed experts in the practice of shechitah – Jewish ritual slaughter – the purpose of the event was two-fold: to perform a kosher shechita of the year-old lamb, while providing a detailed explanation to the students as to the intricacies and necessities of the kosher slaughter, which began with the inspection of the lamb for physical blemishes, the presence of which would render the lamb unqualified for kosher shechita, and concluding with the actual slaughter of the animal, in a precise and Biblically mandated fashion that ensures a quick and painless demise.

Why Do All These Rabbis Warn Against Getting the Covid-19 Vaccine?
PRAYER TO BE SAVED FROM CORONAVIRUS
Master of Universe, who can do anything!
Cure me and the whole world of the Coronavirus, because redemption is near.
And through this reveal to us the 50th gate of holiness, the secret of the ibbur, and may we begin from this day onward to be strong in keeping interpersonal commandments (i.e. being kind to others).
And by virtue of this may we witness miracles and wonders the likes of which haven’t been since the creation of the world. And may there be sweetening of judgments for the entire world, to all mankind, men women and children.
Please God! Please cure Coronavirus all over the world, as it says about Miriam the prophetess, “Lord, please, cure her, please.”
Please God! Who can do anything! Send a complete healing to the entire world! To all men, women, children, boys and girls, to all humanity wherever they may be, and to all the animals, birds, and creatures. All should be cured from this disease in the blink of an eye, and no trace of the disease should remain.
And all will merit fear of Heaven and fear of God, O Merciful and Compassionate Father.
Please God, please do with us miracles and wonders as you did with our forefathers by the exodus from Egypt. And now, take us and the entire world out from this disease, release us and save us from the Coronavirus that wants to eliminate all mortals.
We now regret all the sins that we did, and we honestly ask for forgiveness. And in the merit of our repentance, this cursed disease, that does not miss men, women, boys, girls, and animals, will be eliminated.
Please God, as quick as the illness came it will go away and disappear immediately, in the blink of an eye, and by this the soul of Messiah Ben David will be revealed.
Please God, grant us the merit to be included in the level of the saints and pure ones, and bless anew all the fruit and vegetation, that all will be healed in the blink of an eye, and we will see Messiah Ben David face to face.
Please God, who acts with greatness beyond comprehension, and does wonders without number. Please now perform also with us miracles and wonders beyond comprehension and let no trace of this cursed disease remain. And may the entire world be cured in the blink of an eye.
Because Hashem did all this in order for us to repent, it is all in order for us to direct our hearts to our Father in Heaven, and by that He will send blessings and success to all of our handiwork.

Point of No Return: Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries
From the 1940s until the 1970s, and heightening with the founding of Israel in 1948, nearly million Jews were expelled from their homes across Arab countries such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Algeria and Iran.
Jews were frequently subjected to pogroms, systemic violence and religious persecution. Their exiles were largely attributable to Arab regimes increasing their hostility toward Jews because of the very existence of Israel.
Today, while stories abound of many Arab refugees, few are aware or even acknowledge this forgotten exodus of Jewish refugees. Only in Israel has Nov. 30, the day after the UN voted to approve the Jewish-Arab partition plan of Palestine, been marked to commemorate their plight.

An important piece of evidence: The British Palestine Exploration Fund survey map – 1871-1877 – The PEF people delineated every wadi, every settlement, tree, and home. They crisscrossed the territory, and an examination of the map shows how empty and barren the land was, and how few people lived there.
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity… Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people… to oppose Zionism.” Zuheir Muhsein, the late Military Department head of the PLO and member of its Executive Council.; March 1977, Dutch daily Trouw
London cab driver’s answer to a request from a Muslim to turn off the radio. (You just got to love the Brits.)
A devout Arab Muslim entered a black cab in London .
He curtly asked the cabbie to turn off the radio because as decreed by his religious teaching, he must not listen to music because in the time of the prophet there was no music, especially Western music which is the music of the infidel.
The cab driver politely switched off the radio, stopped the cab and opened the door.
The Arab Muslim asked him, “What are you doing?”
The cabbie answered, “In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so get out and wait for a camel.”I wonder how many years (hundreds for sure) Jewish people have lived in Quebec. I don’t believe that they have ever demanded that pork be removed from the school’s menu where their children attend…
Excellent reply by the Mayor of Dorval, Quebec, to the demands of the Muslim population in his community.
Put some pork on your fork.
Too bad the USA doesn’t have the common sense to publish this nationwide, even if they have a muslim in the white house. Should also be posted on signs all along U.S. borders.Let’s hear it for a Quebec mayor.
MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN MENU. EXPLAINS WHY
Muslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval, has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why..
“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that’s where they chose to immigrate.
“They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec .
“They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.
“They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).
“That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture.
“And if Canada is a land of welcome, it’s not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.
“Finally, they must understand that in Canada ( Quebec ) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain. The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia.
“For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Shariah.
“If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere.
“Ask yourself the question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada than where you come from?”
“A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”
If you feel the same forward it on.
This reminds me of a Morty Dolinsky story from the time he was head of the Government Press Office:
When the late Morty Dolinsky was in charge of the Government Press Office in the 1980s, he once famously replied to a reporter, who asked for information about the West Bank, that he knew no West Bank as he banked at Leumi. -
