HOME CLEAN HOME has been providing the Jewish community with Passover clean-ing for over 16 years. A team of bounded, insured, uniformed, and trained profession-als offer unparalleled cleaning services. We use our own all natural supplies and equip-ment, to clean each home “CHUMETZ-FREE” - from top to bottom.
In preparation for Pesach, our Home Clean Home team will take apart, clean, and put back together the whole house. From scouring the kitchen to vacuuming, from ipping mattress-es to cleaning under and behind the beds, we will even shake the “Seforim” and check the pockets on your clothing. The HCH crew will pack away all the Chumetz, and use a white glove and Q-tip on all the kitchen cabinets, oven and stove-top to make sure that there is no trace of Chumetz. When we are done the house will look and smell cleaner and fresher than ever before. The only thing left to do will be the cooking.

This Parsha singles out only one
of the 39 types of Melachot (work)
that is forbidden on Shabbat, - “Do
not kindle any fi re in all your dwell-
ing places on the Shabbat day.”
Lighting a fi re on the Shabbat is
forbidden. But that only goes for
your “dwelling place” - that is - your
home. Back in the Mishkan (and
later in the Bait Hamikdash) fi re
was a regular part of the korbanot
(sacrifi ce) services performed daily,
even on the Shabbat.
Why does the Torah single out the
Melacha of kindling a fi re on the
Shabbat day?
Once, when Hadrian, the Ro-
man emperor was chatting with
Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chanina,
he commented “I am greater
than Moshe - your teacher.” Tak-
en aback, Rabbi Yehoshua re-
plied, “How can you claim to be
greater than the greatest Jewish
prophet who ever lived?”
Hadrian went on to quote the To-
rah: “It says in the book of Kohelet
(9:4); ‘Better to be a live dog than a
dead lion.’ Moshe’s dead, I’m alive,
so I’m greater than he is.”
Rabbi Yehoshua quickly replied,
“Listen here, your Royal Highness,
since you’re so all-powerful, do you
think you can get all your subjects
to stop lighting fi res in their homes
for three days?”
“Sure I can,” replied Hadrian, who
immediately called in his royal of-
fi cers to spread the decree of his
new “no fi re” law for the next three
days.
The very fi rst night, Rabbi Yehosh-
ua and the Emperor climb to the
roof of the palace, and they see
smoke rising from a chimney.
Enraged, the Emperor heads out
to the smoky corner of town, drag-
ging Rabbi Yehoshua along for the
ride. When they get to the viola-
tor’s home, Hadrian busts down
the door and confronts his disloyal
subject. “You know my decree of
no fi re in the home for three days.
Why is there a roaring fi re in your
fi replace?”
The nobleman replied “I had a cold
and my doctor recommended
plenty of hot tea, so I whipped up a
fi re to boil tea.”
When they left the house, Rabbi
Yehoshua declared, “You see, that
nobleman broke your law for his
own convenience. Your subjects
don’t even respect your laws for
one day while you’re alive. Our
Rebbe, Moshe warned us over a
thousand years ago “Do not kin-
dle a flame on the Shabbat.” To
this very day, you will not find
any Torah true Jew lighting a
fire on Shabbat.
Indeed, no Jew did light a
fire ON the Shabbat. The
Torah states; “Do not kindle
any fire in all your dwell-
ing places ON the Shabbat
day.” But there is no halacha
(law) stopping a Jew from
preparing fire BEFORE Shab-
bat to keep their house and
food warm and to light up
the house on Friday night.
There were, of course, those
fanatics who said “no fire
on Shabbat means just that -
no fire.” They were the Karaites.
When Shabbat rolled around,
their houses went dark and they
ate cold cholent. Our Rabbis call
these Karaites fools. Hashem
wants us to live by His laws, not
to suffer from them.
Our Sages also point out that the
Torah does NOT say ‘six days you
shall do work’, rather It says ‘six
days work shall be done.’ The To-
rah is guaranteeing us that any-
one who keeps Shabbat properly
will merit the siyata dishmaya (di-
vine intervention) and blessings
from Hashem during his work
week, until it will seem as if the
work gets done by itself.

manowitz. Visit www.torahtots.

March 12, 2010 – March 18, 2010
Many miracles occurred during the construction of the Mishkan. Here are two. The boards of the Mishkan were not covered with gold the way it is done today; rather, plates of gold and beams of wood were made separately. The beams were then covered with the plates of gold. Since they were made this way, it would normally be necessary to use pins and nails to attach the gold. This could not be done since no nail or any iron could be used in the Mishkan.However, when the plate of gold was brought close to the wooden beam the plate would surround it and cover it. The Torah therefore says, “All the gold that was made for the work.” The gold itself did what was necessary for the work to be completed.A SECOND MIRACLE AT THE MISHKAN The fi rst thing that one must re-alize is that the courtyard in front of the Mishkan was 50 amot (75 feet) long and 50 amot wide. In this space there was the outer Mizbayach (altar) which was 5 amot by 5 amot. The kevesh (ac-cess ramp), which was used to as-cend to the top of the Mizbayach was 32 amot (48 feet) long to the south. The Kiyor (washstand) was also between the Mishkan and the Mizbayach.The entire area in front of the Mishkan was 50 by 50 amot, that is
2,500 square amot. All these arti-cles were able to fi t in that space.Only a small area remained. Even if the entire area were empty, no more than 2,500 people could have fi t in there, one person in each square amah. However, the entire Bnei Yisroel was able to fi t into that courtyard on the day that the Mishkan was erected, although there were millions of people. The Torah tells us that there were 600,000 men over 20 years old. This was in addition to those un-der 20, who were not numbered. If we calculated the necessary space, an area four miles square would be needed to hold all these people. Therefore, it was a very great miracle that this small area could hold so many people. There was also a miracle within a miracle. Since so many people were in this rather small area, one would imagine that they were pressed tightly together. However, the opposite was true. Each person had plenty of room. It seemed to each person as if he had 4 amot (6 feet) of empty space around him. Each person was able to bow down without disturbing the person next to him.All the Bnei Yisroel stood in the courtyard and saw the fi re come down from heaven, standing like a pillar. It entered the Mishkan
and went upon the Mizbayach, burning the fats of all the sacri-fi ces; then it remained standing above the Mizbayach. All Bnei Yis-roel saw this miracle and bowed.At that time Divine inspiration rested upon them and they sang a song to Hashem. As it says, “All the people saw and they sang out and they fell on their faces.” (Vayi-kra 9:24). The Mishkan was completed in Kislev, but Hashem wanted it to be erected on Rosh Ch-odesh Nisan. One reason given is that Hashem waited until Nisan because that was the month when our forefather Yitzchak was born. Another reason is that Nisan is a month of joy, when the Bnei Yisroel were freed from Mitzrayim and Nisan is the month in which we will be redeemed in the future. In order to pacify Kislev, which had been denied the honor of celebrating the Mishkan’s inau-guration, Hashem pledged that another Sanctuary would be in-augurated in Kislev. That time came when the miracle of Cha-nukah took place, and the second Beit HaMikdash was rededicated on 25 Kislev which became the 1st day of Chanukah. Written by Menachim Shi-
manowitz. Visit www.torahtots.

In honor of Parshas Pikudei, where Moshe gives an account
of what was used for the Mishkan, we present a math puzzle.
Try to fi ll in the missing numbers.
Use the numbers 1 through 9 to complete the equations.
Each number is only used once.
Each row is a math equation. Each column is a math equation.
Remember that multiplication and division are performed before addition and subtraction.
