This week's Kiddush is sponsored by the Daisy Kiddush Fund |
Question:
What is the history of the custom of selling Chametz to a non-Jew before Pesach?
Answer:
This is NOT a custom; it is a LAW. The earliest source for this transaction is in the Talmud. It was later codified by Rambam (Maimonides) in Mishne Torah and the Shulchan Aruch (16th century) which is the authoritative Halachah for millions of Jews until today. The only condition to the legality of this sale is that it should include an unwritten agreement that the non-Jewish buyer would sell the Chametz back after Pesach.
This is a Weekly Column in which Rabbi Feldman will answer any question you might have relating to Judaism. Please email your questions to office@bethelwpb.com

Book:
Love Finer Than Wine
The story and writings of two brilliant leaders murdered at a bus top in Jerusalem
Rabbi Edward Bernstein, author and friend of martyred victims Mathew Eisenfeld and Sara Duker, were the best of their generation. They were brilliant, spiritual and kind, two leaders and idealist who dreamed of serving as Jewish leaders to fix a broken world. Their dream ended in at a bus stop in Jerusalem, murdered by Hamas terrorists. Matt and Sara left behind windows into their souls. Love Finer Than Wine presents writings of Matt and Sara in which they contemplate the depths of Jewish spirituality, wrestle with the complex nuances of Zionism and probe Jewish texts with scholarly acumen.
The story of these two outstanding individuals and their writings are presented and edited by Rabbi Edward Bernstein, who has been active in Conservative Judaism for many years and is spiritual leader of Temple Torah Emet (Conservative) in Boynton Beach. He attended The Jewish Theological Seminary in New York with Matthew Eisenfeld.

Lecture Series: Tuesday, April 4th

"MODERN JEWISH INTELLECTUAL HISTORY"
Lecture 4
The Converso Predicament and the Spread
of Messianism in the 17th Century
The primary feature of the Jewish experience in the 17th century was the return to Jewish life of large numbers of Iberian Christians whose ancestors converted, by choice or by force, to Christianity. These exiles left Spain and Portugal to reassert their Jewish identity in Italy, the Ottoman Empire, the Netherlands and Germany. Their re-education and return to Jewish life was challenging for many of them given they had been entirely cut off from developing Jewish culture outside of Iberia for generations.
Many were left confused, even disappointed. They had hoped their return to Judaism would release them from Catholic orthodoxy with its suppression of free thought. But they found another, this time Jewish orthodoxy, that reminded them of the Christianity they abandoned. Their dual identity left them vulnerable to Sabbatian Messianism whose leader himself was a forced convert.
All are welcome to join the discussion and video on Tuesday, April 4, 10:30am sharp in the social hall.

Liz & Alvin Perlman
Liz and Alvin Perlman joined Temple Beth El, after relocating to Palm Beach County from New York City in 1972. Their two daughters, Amy and Jill, were active participants in services at Temple Beth El from their earliest years, and were frequently seen on the bima with Cantor Brody as they chanted prayers on High Holidays and Shabbat, read Torah and the Megillah, and participated as members of Cantor Brody's original children's choir.
Liz and Alvin served as school administrators in Palm Beach County for most of their careers, with Alvin serving as an assistant principal at the elementary and high school levels. Liz was principal of three elementary schools and a middle school, and served as the Director of K-12 Curriculum for Palm Beach County Schools.
During the 1980's and 90's Liz and Alvin volunteered their time in supporting the Meyer Academy (Jewish Community Day School), serving on both the Board of Directors and the education committee. Most recently, Liz has served as the co-chair of the Temple Beth El 2017 Gala, honoring Cantor Norman Brody.
These days the Perlmans spend a great deal of time on the road visiting their grandchildren in New York City and Gainesville, Florida.
The Perlmans are pleased to be part of the Temple Beth El family and look forward to many more years of affiliation
MAZEL TOV LIZ & ALVIN!
