staff has prepared a delightful program ‫לכבוד ל"ג בעומר‬. Thank you
Rabbi Steinberg for arranging the ‫ הדלקה‬for ‫ל"ג בעומר‬. May the light of
‫ ר' שמעון בר יוחאי‬continue to spread and inspire. The burning desire to
learn, grow and become has been ignited in our talmidim. In the warm
environment, the once small spark has become a talmid with
enthusiasm and “bren”!

The spring like weather this week was a perfect opportunity to
spend quality time in the great outdoors. Thank you Mrs. Margulies for
arranging the buses so this trip did not require any fees from the
parents. Additionally, we extend a thank you Pesha, who always avails
himself to take the preschoolers to their many theme-based trips.

‫שבע‬-‫לזכות רפואה שלימה חי' מלכה בת בת‬

What is the proper method of selecting a shirt from a pile of shirts or from a closet
filled with shirts?

If the pile or closet includes shirts that are not wearable (i.e. they are not the correct size,
they are missing buttons or are stained) then the person selecting the shirt should
preferably first determine if the shirt is a good choice before removing it from the pile or
closet. This is in contrast to randomly removing a shirt and then inspecting it. Moreover,
selecting an appropriate shirt may only be done immediately prior to wearing it.

This method of selection applies to all garments (not only shirts) and items that are
combined in a mixture, when the mixture includes unusable garments or items. In all
situations such as this, a usable garment/item should preferably be identified before
removing it from the mixture and immediately prior to its use.

If a mixture of peanuts and shells and/or skins is piled together, is it permissible to
blow on the pile so that the shells/skins will separate from the pile and only the
peanuts will remain?

No, this is not permissible.

What is the proper method of separating liquids from solids?

Large-sized solids immersed in liquid (such as pickles in water) are not considered a
mixture and may be separated. However, small-sized items (such as noodles in soup, corn
tidbits in a can with liquid, or liquid in cholent) are considered a mixture. Therefore, if the
liquid is not desired it may not be removed. Rather, one may pour out part of the liquid,
leaving the solids with some remaining liquid. Alternatively, one may pour out liquid
together with some of the solid pieces.
Is it permissible to drain the liquid from a salad with one’s spoon while eating?

One eating salad may not drain the liquid accumulated in the spoon by placing the spoon
against the bowl, unless some liquid is left inside the spoon. This would also apply if one
wishes to eat vegetables from soup without the liquid. One should therefore refrain from
eating with a slotted spoon in these situations, since all the juice will inevitably be drained
out.
