MASKS ARE MANDATORY IN SHUL

Due to the serious increase in people being infected with Covid-19, the LA County Dept of Health

requires masks be worn in indoor public spaces regardless of one’s vaccination status.

Therefore, our Shul has resumed the requirement that

everyone inside the Shul building wear a mask CORRECTLY –

whereby the mask covers both one’s mouth and nose.

Thank you for complying.

Question For the Week

From Our Semichat Chaver Program

taught by Rabbi Dr. Zev Wiener

For more about our Semichat Chaver Program, please see the flyer posted on our website, www.yicc.org

YOM KIPPUR Q. The Talmud (Yoma 77b) teaches that one who is visiting

his teacher may walk through a body of water on Yom Kippur. Although bathing is prohibited on Yom Kippur, walking through a body of water for the purposes of this Mitzvah was not included in the prohibition. Even if the Yom Kippur prohibition of bathing is not violated, why is this activity (soaking one's garments while walking through the body of water) not still prohibited on account of the Biblical prohibition of laundering clothes on Shabbat and Yom Tov?

A. We have learned that simply soaking a garment in

water, even without any scrubbing or wringing, constitutes a Biblical prohibition of laundering on Shabbat and Yom Tov. However, many authorities maintain that this practice is only prohibited if the soaking actually cleanses and improves the garment in some way. If the soaking is done "Derech Lichluch" -- in a manner that further dirties the garment -- no violation is incurred. As such, the Poskim rule that walking through a body of water in one's clothes is considered dirtying as opposed to cleansing the clothes, and not included in the prohibition.

Note, however, that the Tosafist Rabbi Eliezer MiMitz (Yerayim) prohibits all soaking -- even if it dirties the garment. As such, he is forced to interpret the above leniency in a different fashion.

HALAKHIC CORNER - YOM KIPPUR Q: What is the proper format for Havdalah at the end of Yom Kippur? A: The Shulchan Aruch (O”C 624:4) rules that there is an obligation to make Havdalah with a candle after Yom Kippur. In contrast to Havdalah at the end of Shabbat, the flame must come from a fire that has been burning since the beginning of Yom Kippur. The Mishnah Berurah explains that on an ordinary Saturday night we create a new flame to light the Havdalah candle to commemorate Adam's discovery of fire which took place at the end of the first Shabbat in history. However, at the end of Yom Kippur we use an already existent flame to light the Havdalah candle to signify that the use of fire is prohibited on Yom Kippur unlike other holidays when we are permitted to use fire to cook with. The Shulchan Aruch records a dissenting opinion that one need not use a fire for Havdalah that was burning since the beginning of Yom Kippur and one can light a match and light the Havdalah candle from the match. The Shulchan Aruch also rules that we do not use Besamim for Havdalah after Yom Kippur even if Yom Kippur coincides with Shabbat. The Mishnah Berurah explains that we usually use Besamim during Havdalah to comfort our bodies with a pleasant smell after losing our Neshama Yiterah, the additional soul that we receive on Shabbat. However, since Yom Kippur is a fast day, we do not receive an additional soul and therefore no Besamim is needed.

LOOKING FOR SUKKOT & SIMCHAT TORAH KIDDUSH SPONSORS * First Day Sukkot * Shabbat Chol Ha’Moed * Simchat Torah We thank the following who have agreed so far to sponsor these Kiddushim:

THE ALTHEA GOLDSTEIN Z”L YICC WOMEN’S TEHILIM GROUP

MINHAGIM AND HALAKHOT

YOM KIPPUR September 15-16, 2021

By Rabbi Elazar Muskin

• Before Kol Nidrei begins, two Sifrei Torah are taken out from the Aron. The

Chazan circulates throughout the Shul saying Or Zaru’a LaTzadik followed by the

congregation repeating the sentence each time it is said. It should be recited seven

times.

• After walking throughout the Shul, two people stand one on each side of

the Chazan holding a Sefer Torah during Kol Nidrei.

• On Yom Kippur day Yizkor is recited right after the Drasha as follows:

a) The two Sifrei Torah that were read from are held on each side of the

Chazan.

b) The Three E-l Maleh prayers are recited as follows: (Please refer to our

Yizkor Book)

• For the members of the Shul who have passed away

• For the 6 Million Kedoshim killed by the Nazis

• For those who have given their lives in defense of the State of Israel

c) Those blessed to have their parents are asked to leave the Shul quietly

after the three E-l Maleh prayers are recited and are asked to return

after Yizkor has concluded. (Refer to our Yizkor Book for a special Tefilah

to be said in honor of one’s living parents).

d) Av HaRachamim is recited after Yizkor.

e) Yizkor is recited during the first year of Avelut.

• The Avodah should be said out loud by the Chazan and congregation.

• The Aron is kept open during the entire recitation of the Avodah (Amitz Ko’ach).

• On Yom Kippur the Kohanim should have their hands washed when we reach p. 859

in the Birnbaum Machzor. When washing the Kohanim’s hands on Yom Kippur they

should be washed to the wrist just like we do on all other Yomim Tovim.

• The concluding Brakhot for Maftir Yonah should include the blessing of Al HaTorah,

that is said on Shabbat and Yom Tov morning (Unlike what is written in the

Birnbaum Machzor).

• We do not say Avinu Malkenu after Mincha on Yom Kippur. We say Avinu

Malkenu at the end of Neilah, sentence by sentence – first the Chazan says the

sentence and then the congregation follows.

• Two members stand on each side of the Chazan during Neilah. The Aron is opened

for Neilah as soon as the Chazan is ready to begin Chazarat HaShatz. It’s closed only

after the Chazan and congregation say Hashem Hu HaElokim seven times, right

before Kaddish Shalem.

Young Israel of Century City • 9317 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035 • 310-273-6954 • www.yicc.org

• At the end of Neilah the Chazan should skip Birkhat Kohanim because it is

after Shekiah. At the end of Neilah first the Chazan says Shema Yisrael…. and then

the congregation repeats it. The same is done for Baruch Shem Kevod… which

• the Chazan says three times and then the congregation says Hashem Hu HaElokim

seven times.

• After the Chazan completes Kaddish Shalem at the end of Neilah we blow a set of ten

notes just like we did during the repetition of the Amidah on Rosh Hashanah.

• We light the Havdalah candle from the light of the burning Yahrzheit candle that was

lit before Yom Kippur began.

• We recite Kiddush Levanah after Maariv at the conclusion of Yom Kippur.

• On the day after Yom Kippur, we do not recite La’Mena tze’ach after Ashrei. We do

not recite Tachanun until after Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan.
