    A bread machine is an appliance into which you put all ingredients,turn some knobs, wait a few hours and voila you have a loaf of bread. The machines deiyezooger mentioned are kneader/mixers which produce a dough which still has to rise, be shaped, and put into the oven.

    Halacha – siman ra

    Submitted by Reb Dov Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh

    Question: Is it a siman ra (according to R’ Yehudah Hachassid) to hit a deer. i ran into 2 over last 3 months. if so, what action if any should be taken?

    Answer: I’m not familiar with any mention of this issue in the writings of R’ Yehuda HaChosid. However it certainly is a sign that you should drive carefully. Also, a collision with a dear is very dangerous and you should bench gomel.

    in reply to: Naming A Child After Someone With Weird Name #1121158

    Discussing the Name

    The naming of a child should not bring any type of machlokes into the family because it is a danger to the child.(10)

    Although according to the basic premise of the law, there is no

    concern with discussing the name beforehand, nonetheless, the custom is that one should not discuss the name with family members before the name is actually given.(11)

    ???? ??? ARE FOR OUR PLEASURE. ???? ????? ?? ?????? ????? ???

    That’s absolutely true. Nonetheless, in both cases, the wicks are items that are used for mitzvos and perhaps should not be casually thrown out. I don’t think it matters whether we can use the light for our benefit or not with regard to disposal of the wicks.

    forgot about the D”M So who were you quoting? It is not in the ???

    He’s coming from the Maharshal though. Seems you were quoting from memory (not too bad in fact quite good) I just checked the Darkei Moshe he is quoting a ???”? ????? verbatim who is citing the Mordechai & Ohr Zerua.

    BTW The Maharshal was an older cousin of the Rema. There is a letter to the Rema in the Maharshal’s Shut in which he chides the Rema about his “deficiency” in (can’t recall I think Dukduk)

    Halacha – Non-kosher microwave oven

    Submitted by Eli Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh

    Question: There is a non-kosher microwave at my place of work. Sometimes there is even residue of non-kosher food in it. Is there a way for me to heat-up food in it? I heard something about double-wrapping but I am unclear on the issue.

    Answer: Technically speaking double wrapping you food would work, but it is often not a practical solution. A microwave heats the water molecules and causes more steam than a conventional oven. This rising steam causes pressure that is likely to rupture the seal and force or melt open the wrapping, which would render your lunch forbidden. Therefore I would not recommend its use.

    “Since Turkey had been eaten for many years before the question came up” Actually that is not true; no Jew ever saw a turkey until 1493. The Rema lived from 1520 to 1572.

    Whoever said that the question of “Tuskey” came to the Rema?

    The issue is whether the turkey ???? comes under the Rema’s guidelines since it was eaten for so many years before someone questioned it.
