Subject: [Avodah] Yavi es Korbano
Most of you already knew this, but after decades I think I?ve finally figured out what Tzav 7:29 means.
?Hamakriv es zevah shlamav lashem yavi es korbano lashem mizevah shlamav.? Naively it seems like
a tautology. The key is that, unlike an olah or a hatas, for a shamim the whole animal is not the sacrifice.
So whereas for an olah or a hatas you might do the preliminary, semicha or viduy or whatever, after you
hand the animal to the Cohen you can leave. But for a shlamim you need to stay for slaughter, collecting
the blood, flaying and dismembering, then bring the korban (as detailed in the following pasuk) take
the edible meat and leave. So the pasuk is distinguishing between the animal (zevah shlamav) and
the sacrifice.

From this site
Rav Moshe concludes that if someone has no minhag, then they should wear
Tefillin<https://www.halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Tefillin>
with a Bracha on Chol HaMoed<https://www.halachipedia.com/index.php?title=Chol_HaMoed>
because that was the minhag going back a long time.

Why should liftan mean necessarily eaten in the same bite as the bread?
it's something you eat along with bread. You think they didn't have
spoons and only ate their soup by sopping it up with bread? According to
you, even water wouldn't be covered by Hamotzi. Desserts are different
not because they're not eating on bread but because at that point in the
meal most people have ceased to eat bread; ergo, if a sweet mezonos-type
dish (such as sweet apple kugel) could go either way, depending on when
it's served, while a pure treat (candy or ice cream) which is never
served during the main course would never be covered by Hamotzi. (For
me, sweet kugel is 100% dessert but my family disagree.

Because I don't think that's the translation. For example, in Hil'
Bishul Akum, "lalefes bo es hapas" shows up -- the same shoresh but as
a verb. (AZ 38a, 59a) It is something you do to the bread.
A lefet is a turnip, and "lelafeis bo es hapas" is often taken to
mean something used as a relish on the bread. See, for example the Kaf
haChaim. Yes, some English translations do say "to accompany the bread",
but I think that's a loose translation, motivated from the conclusion.
An example which links liftan and lalefes, "kedei lelafeis bo es hapas"
for two meals is a unit of measure for eiruvei chatzeiros. (SA OC 386:6)
But only for liftan. Otherwise, the shiur is enough food for two meals.
My question was about how the decision was made that being a flavoring
for the bread wasn't the important feature, that liftan is just one
way the food and the bread are in the same course. On the contrary,
it seems more natural (to me) to have assumed lelafeis bo es hapas to
be a case of eating an ikar and tafeil together.

Or all those apple "kugels" that are literally apple crumbles...

Subject: [Avodah] ERUV TAVSHILIN
From today's Hakhel email bulletin
We will need an Eruv Tavshilin this year. By clicking here<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Eq1O7V9oiScTOLrysftQ-abP-sCER_oNek2cEfqxlWyKyxRLTQ8Mw3Q-aorOIN4D4ZaiOi5lqjaxF3g7kdKMTBn98i40WbxKsH_e21lOICLnq2Lwhwfr4AEoVlKcqMfPNX8FWtJl7WrjKOMqvQcLEwmYPuCOqH6eh87r0aZYYmdj8iCM0-FgKiZe8n1N8duSdPh3KIRq4hrhFfRzJkgm_4z4CwZ72mDi_rhOo4HmAcQ=&;c=P-WZmHm-OToP21Y_Y7NClIY5l68K3fuoDpwng_PuEf18-TZyXx9Flg==&ch=i5XLIzd_j4fqhKkSNJdT2gkZ6FPSSKkQQPHT6s2P0EbV9r50Feq_zQ==>,
we provide an Eruv Tavshilin Checklist which was reviewed and approved by
Rabbi Yisroel Belsky, Z?tl.
Number 3 is obviously not applicable to baking Matzah. Of course, one
should consult with his or her own Rav for a final P?sak relating to any
questions or issues he or she may have.
