After hearing the 39 Melachos explained by Rav Berkovits in lay terms, you will feel a new sense of freedom in knowing what you can and can't do on Shabbos. The purpose and meaning of each melacha is covered along with numerous examples and cases where the principles apply.
The nature of Shabbos leads to our feeling a deep sense of security and relaxation. Many of the practices we do on this day of rest were put in place to portray that. Rav Berkovits teaches how we show Oneg on Shabbos, such as eating foods we like. Kavod on Shabbos, another issue, includes having laundered clothing, and having Melaveh Malkah, and lighting candles. Also discussed is having someone else do a forbidden act for you on Shabbos.
Biting nails or loose skin is a no-no. Rav Berkovits moves from there to the halachos of cleaning something, such as moving dust off of a coat, or shaking out a wet garment. Dyeing material is also discussed. Is it a problem to clean up a spill when it will stain the rag you're using? Making knots is a complex subject that must be understood well in order to find ways to close bags and shoes in an acceptable manner.
Why are we allowed to do certain things on Yom Tov that we would refrain from on Shabbos? Rav Berkovits guides us through a sometimes confusing day, explaining how and when we are allowed to cook, bake and carry, and adding in some things we would never imagine are permissible.
This all-encompassing 2-part talk describes the unique nature of what it means to be Jewish. Discover the real meaning of our chosenness, and the disproportional contributions we have made to civilize the planet. This Passover night, experience a deep pride by sharing significant insights with family and friends about the nature of our collective heritage and our humble beginnings as a nation.
If you are planning to spend Pesach in a non-observant home, don't panic, your holiday experience can be fulfilling - as well as halachically correct. Based on many years of experience, Rav Berkovits counsels how to deal with most of the problems that usually arise. Hear how to prepare the home, and run a meaningful seder - without offending your hosts. Learn what must be done, and where you can be lenient to ensure an enjoyable Pesach experience for all.
