Are we permitted to participate or watch magic shows? A. The Torah forbids one to engage in any form of black magic, divination, astrology, or other similar activity (Vayikra 19:26); rather we are required to have faith in God and allow His natural order of events to take its course without trying to intervene in any way. In light of this, the permissibility of performing modern day magic and optical illusions is subject to much Halakhic debate. Some suggest that optical illusions which try to deceive people may indeed fall under the Biblical prohibition against performing magic (Rambam Sefer Hamitzvot 32) or possibly Geneivat Da’at/deception (Bach, YD 179). Other authorities, however, permit one to perform optical illusions and sleight of hand tricks, as long as there is no intention to mislead people into believing that one has supernatural powers (Teshuvot Haradvaz # 1695). Nevertheless, a number of contemporary Halakhic authorities permit modern-day magic as an educational and professional pursuit or as entertainment. Based on the fact that it is known that there is no true magic today, many authorities dismiss most of the concerns of the earlier Poskim and permit one to attend a magic show (Igrot Moshe YD 4:13). It is clear, however, that one must distance himself from a magician or illusionist who claims to have supernatural powers. Furthermore, a magician is encouraged to inform his audience at the start of any presentation that nothing supernatural will occur during the show.

  • DAVENING AT HOME Minhagim and Halakhot for Shabbat Parashat Shemot

    January 8 - 15, 2021

    By Rabbi Elazar Muskin

    During the Covid-19 crisis, please use the following guide

    if you are davening without a Minyan.

    Friday January 8th

    • Recite regular Shacharit with Tachanun.

    • At Mincha do not say Tachanun.

    • Candles should be lit by 4:43 PM and Mincha by 4:50 PM.

    • Shkiah is at 5:01 PM.

    • After the Maariv Amida recite Vayechulu but not Magen Avot and Elokeinu V’Elokei Avoteinu.

    They are only said when davening with a permanent Minyan. It is customary to recite Vayechulu

    together with either another male or female.

    Shabbat January 9th – Parashat Shemot

    • Shacharit is a regular Shabbat Shacharit.

    • Do not say Anim Zemirot. This is only recited when davening with a Minyan.

    • Recite the Shir Shel Yom for Shabbat.

    • The Torah reading from a Chumash is Shemot. The Haftorah is from Isaiah (27:6-28:13 and 29:22-

    23)

    • Skip both chapters of Y’kum Purkan and the Mi Sheberach. They are only said when davening with

    a Minyan.

    • Recite the Mi Sheberach for the IDF and the Tefilah for Medinat Yisrael.

    • Shabbat ends 5:47 PM.

    • A complete Havdalah is recited at home.

    Sunday January 10th - Wednesday January 13th

    • Regular weekday Davening with Tachanun at Shacharit and Mincha.

    • On Monday recite the longer version of Tachanun just like we do if we had a Minyan and were

    reading the Torah.

    • Rabbi Soloveitchik Z”L was of the opinion that when saying Tachanun even when a Sefer Torah

    isn’t present, one should still fall on one’s arm and recite the opening chapter just like the way we do

    when davening inside a Shul.

    • On Wednesday afternoon at Mincha, omit Tachanun because Rosh Chodesh starts on Wednesday at

    Maariv.

    • On Wednesday, at Maariv remember to insert Ya’aleh V’yavo for Rosh Chodesh in the Amida.

  • Thursday January 14th – Rosh Chodesh Shevat

    • Remove your Tefillin and put them away before starting Musaf.

    • After reciting the Shir Shel Yom say Borchi Nafshi.

    They are only said when davening with a permanent Minyan. It is customary to recite Vayechulu

    together with either another male or female.

    January 8 - 15, 2021

    By Rabbi Elazar Muskin

    • Chatzi Kaddish should be said by the Ba’al Kriah before the Maftir is called up for his Aliyah.

    • One person, other than the Ba’al Kriah, will do both Hagbah and Gelilah. After lifting the

    Torah for Hagbah place the Torah on the Shulchan and perform Gelilah while the Torah is on

    the Shulchan.

    • The Haftorah is from Isaiah (27:6-28:13 and 29:22-23).

    • Recite the Tefilah for the American Government, Mi Sheberach for the IDF and the Tefilah for

    Medinat Yisrael.

    • Say the two chapters of Y’kum Purkan and the Mi Sheberach.

    • Recite Birkat Rosh Chodesh for the new month of Shevat as follows: The Sefer Torah is

    uncovered on the Shulchan while the Chazan recites the introductory paragraph of Birkat

    Rosh Chodesh. The Gabai, from wherever he is standing, announces the Molad (Wednesday

    January 13th, 5:35 PM and 3 Chalakim).
