Transcript
- 0:01OK, Resh, Samer, Bet helpless Mila.
- 0:06OK, we're continuing with bet. I just want to point out when
- 0:10we're talking about days, I mean, I think it's pretty
- 0:12obvious it depends on where you are.
- 0:15This Wherever the baby is born, you look at the day at the
- 0:19daytime based on what the hours are.
- 0:21And then wherever the Mila is, you look based on where the baby
- 0:25is, because one can travel from one location to another and it
- 0:31doesn't, you know, you, you don't go by the Zuman of where
- 0:35the baby was born. I mean for the birth you do.
- 0:38And then for the Mila, you go by where the Mila is.
- 0:41You don't look at the hours you know from let's say they, they
- 0:45moved after day 5 from America to Israel or whatever it is.
- 0:49You the hours are almost they could be almost could be 10
- 0:53hours easy. So then I you don't look at the
- 0:56time change and then count the days obviously by the baby's
- 1:00days, 8th 8th day, 8th day from the birth.
- 1:04So that's that's just to clarify being a Shmashos.
- 1:08I did see that in Saki Machuvos. He writes most he seems to write
- 1:15that even if they're getting ready to do the Mila or they're
- 1:18starting to do the Mila near shkia and then shkia passes then
- 1:24once shkia passes you stop and you don't do the meela until the
- 1:28next day, even if it's 5 minutes after shkia.
- 1:31So ask your ask your your Rav, your mohel, whatever what the
- 1:35sock is. Yeah, I think, I mean we're
- 1:41going to see when it comes to, we're about to get to Bina
- 1:44Shmasha's, we'll see that nowadays for the Lamai said
- 1:50basically every Jew across the world says the day ends at
- 1:56General Minoguez, the day ends at Shkia, which is sunset, the
- 2:01astronomic sunset that most of us are familiar with.
- 2:05Even Hassidim or or Ashkenazi jury who many of them used to
- 2:10follow are Ben Mutam and go way after shkia.
- 2:13In Europe nowadays, the accepted custom is we go by what we call
- 2:19sunset. However, there will be some
- 2:22Hassidim who will give you maybe an extra 1015 minutes to count
- 2:27that as part of the day, even if it means doing the Mila on
- 2:33Shabbos. So it's we're going to get to
- 2:35there. I just wanted to point that out.
- 2:37And we're going to see that Amuda Shahar is not the same as
- 2:44Benish Mashas. When we learning, we, we started
- 2:47learning about Ammader Shakhar, let's say 72 minutes.
- 2:50Again, that's a bit of a question, but we'll call it 72
- 2:52minutes before sunrise, the astronomic sunrise.
- 2:56So the, so there we do hold it's Vada Yom, that's 100% daytime
- 3:02and it's 100% Yosei. If you did the Mila starting
- 3:05then and no one says to do a Tafas Tanbris, again, you don't
- 3:09do a prick and it's nothing like that.
- 3:13So just it's not like Akhila, OK, like Akhila, we definitely
- 3:18wait till sunrise. However, when it comes to Dena
- 3:22Shmashos, that's a real Suffolk. We really don't know what that
- 3:26is. Either we don't know what it is
- 3:29or that Zuman has no real definition.
- 3:32However you define Dena Shmashos, it's 100% halachic
- 3:35Suffolk. And so that's a major, major
- 3:39difference. Also here.
- 3:40I'll just jump to the gun a little bit.
- 3:42We're going to see it's it's in Resh Samna Khabet.
- 3:49There's a big Ville Nagorn, very famous piece of the Ville Nagorn
- 3:54regarding Seisa Kohavin and Ben Ashmashas.
- 3:58It's worthwhile to read. But anyways, it's a bit of a
- 4:02complicated topic. So you know what, let's get to
- 4:06the meet a couple CE fiem and we'll see that.
- 4:10We'll see how that plays out a little bit more when we get
- 4:12there. Fine.
- 4:13So let's start with Beth inside cola E malinoto achi yavri.
- 4:19All right, now, if a baby's born sick, it could be born sick, it
- 4:24could become sick. But when it comes to Day 8, the
- 4:27baby is sick. So we don't do a brasmila on the
- 4:31baby that's sick. Umtini Umtini low May 8 Shimitra
- 4:37aper mehoyo shivati Amin May 8th late How does it work?
- 4:41We wait a full 7 days, but it's 8 to 8.
- 4:45So a day is 24 hours. So whatever it is, it's 7 * 24
- 4:50hours at whatever the day, whatever daytime we decide the
- 4:54baby now is healthy, we add on a full 7 days from the exact same
- 5:00time. So often it's a look.
- 5:02It's often people might talk about it like 8 days or the 8th
- 5:07day. Again, it's partially true, but
- 5:09it's the technical is 7 * 24, right?
- 5:14That's when we wait. All right, You don't do it in
- 5:17the you don't do it in that morning.
- 5:18You have to wait till the same time, same time seven days
- 5:23later, no, from when he got healthy.
- 5:25If a baby is unhealthy, however long is unhealthy, hopefully and
- 5:28not long. You whenever the doctors say now
- 5:32he's healthy, then you add 7 days, you know, let me stop
- 5:39right now with a little short story.
- 5:41I was listening to a Sheba Rod and Glebowitz.
- 5:44He had a nice story. The question was there was a
- 5:47lady who was there was a lady who let's say I think she was
- 5:50having some kind of cancer therapy or needed to have
- 5:54chemotherapy and but she was pregnant so they I guess they
- 5:58pushed it off a little bit. The baby was very premature and,
- 6:03and then needed to have, I guess, some kind of steroids or
- 6:06drugs, whatever the medication in order, in order, whatever the
- 6:09situation was. But the, the, the question at
- 6:12hand came when the baby was considered healthy and it was
- 6:18supposed to be, let's say we call it after seven days or the
- 6:218th day, whatever it is. That's how the question was
- 6:24posed. And but the I don't for whatever
- 6:28reason, that's not the point. The mother was not able to be at
- 6:34the bris if it was going to be on that eighth day or seven days
- 6:39times 24, because she couldn't leave the hospital and that baby
- 6:44couldn't have the meal in the hospital, whatever it was.
- 6:46That's the case. Question is, can the baby for
- 6:51can Emila get pushed off a day? We are 'cause this is, we
- 6:55already learned Emila Shalobizumana.
- 6:58So you wait till it gets healthy, you don't do it on
- 7:00Shabbos or we're going to see. But you every day there's a din,
- 7:05you can't push it off. So what should we do?
- 7:08So the father asked Izumoa, Pesach, Chrome and he said no
- 7:15problem, push it off a day so or it'll be the next we'll do it
- 7:20the next day. I don't know what I don't know.
- 7:21I don't know this terminology. I don't know, I don't know.
- 7:24I don't think he would say push it off when you see the when you
- 7:27hear the end of the story. But he says do the bris on the
- 7:30next day and the mom can come and no problem.
- 7:32So then the father calls Rabbi Leibowitz and he says, I don't
- 7:38know what Rabbi Krohn was saying.
- 7:39Was he saying that because I sound like a Baal chuva and he
- 7:43was afraid that if I he doesn't do it the next day, I'll go to a
- 7:46different mole? Or was he giving me a proper
- 7:49sock that Yeah, for the mom, you can push it off a day because
- 7:52it's Shalobi's mana. So, Ravi, you know what's so in
- 7:56the story, he tried to ask Rav David Feinstein.
- 7:58He wasn't available. Then he finally asked.
- 8:02He asked a different Rav and he told him no you can't push it
- 8:08off because it's user to push off.
- 8:10Even if it's Shalobi's mana, it's user to push push it off a
- 8:13day. So he said you should tell the
- 8:15mom that these hoot not pushing it off, you should do it on
- 8:18time. I'm getting a prod.
- 8:19I apologize a part of the story and who said what?
- 8:22He got up sock not not to push it off.
- 8:24He also got another sock from a different Rob who said to push
- 8:27it off. The idea was Pikuhana fish for
- 8:30the mom. He got a couple different sock
- 8:32which one which one to do from Zilbrim scene and Vinay Brock.
- 8:35So he said no, you you tell the mom also not to push it off and
- 8:39make sure you get a zoom. And then he got back in touch
- 8:42with W Feinstein and said no, you shouldn't.
- 8:45You shouldn't push it off. So both of them said not to push
- 8:47it off. Anyways, he got a couple
- 8:49different sucking and then he was like, now who do I follow?
- 8:52So this was in his whole more of a lengthy sheer of and so and
- 8:57then the but really, the real Shiloh really was who owns the
- 9:00Shiloh and who owns the, you know, who's on the baby?
- 9:04It's the father. So ABI Leibowitz's real question
- 9:07wasn't really much of a question.
- 9:08Who should he follow? Because he started asking
- 9:11numerous rabbis and it could be he was just asking for interest.
- 9:15Not necessarily absurd, but I think he was.
- 9:17But anyways, that's not the the main point is so finally now,
- 9:21right, We all would have done it first.
- 9:23Now he calls Robbie Krone on the phone and he says I, you know,
- 9:26this is the story and I want to know that the the father wants
- 9:30to know what was your suck? What was it up suck?
- 9:33Or was this you were afraid to lose the risk and maybe he'll go
- 9:35to a, you know, conservative, not that he needs the risk, but
- 9:38you know, he might go to a Conservative Rabbi MOA,
- 9:40whatever. So he says no, no, no.
- 9:42Whenever I say something, I gave a real suck.
- 9:45And he says I also would say not to push it off.
- 9:47The reason why I said to do it the next day was not because I
- 9:53said you can push it off now again, every case has to be done
- 9:57Lagufo. There could be a real case of
- 10:00picoeth nefesh of you know of a person if if they really are
- 10:05sick and it couldn't make a difference anyways.
- 10:08But for the sake of the story, no, no, no, he follows.
- 10:11The point was, he learnt the sock of Mila from his rabbit.
- 10:15He hoped that whenever a baby's taking medication for a sickness
- 10:20Again, it probably depends which medication ask you out, but
- 10:23basically the story is whenever you're taking medication, we
- 10:28assume you're not healthy the last.
- 10:30So normally I think what most what mole and rebunding do can't
- 10:34speak for them, but I believe you go by when the baby's
- 10:38considered health and the doctors whatever you consider
- 10:41them healthy and then you count exactly 7 full days from now,
- 10:44right? 24 * 7.
- 10:45But his suck was on the day you're still taking medication,
- 10:50I'm assuming, not Tylenol, maybe something like steroids,
- 10:52whatever it is that day. If you still take your
- 10:55medication, the fact that he's taking medication, we assume
- 10:59he's still sick. And so he holds you start
- 11:03counting the seven days from the next day.
- 11:06So it just worked out well for the mother.
- 11:08Again, he wouldn't have pushed it off 2 days because he wasn't
- 11:12pushing it off for the mom, he was pushing it off anyways.
- 11:14So it's a little bit relevant to what we learned yesterday and
- 11:16what we're learning today. Like we're gonna see.
- 11:18And I saw and socking with Chuvas for antibiotics.
- 11:21And so I discussed it throughout Pessin antibiotics.
- 11:25So I spoke to a Pessin and socking with Chuvas.
- 11:28He writes that's you don't go by finishing your dose of of
- 11:33antibiotics. I mean, we all know that many
- 11:35times a person is considered healthy after two days of
- 11:39taking, for three days, let's say of taking medication,
- 11:43antibiotics, often you'll see no difference for one or two days.
- 11:47You have to give it two days to really know it's not helping.
- 11:50As a general rule, usually within one day, but it could
- 11:54take, it could certainly be two days, but certainly by three or
- 11:57four days the person can be completely, can be completely
- 12:00healthy. I mean, you're still taking
- 12:02antibiotics because the general regimen that's given usually is
- 12:05for let's say 5 or 7 days. And we always say keep taking it
- 12:10so that you finish with the, with the bacteria being killed
- 12:14or whatever it is. So it doesn't create a super
- 12:18strain exactly. But it's not because you're
- 12:20still sick. It's it's for the sake of not
- 12:23becoming sick again later from a, let's say a super strain or
- 12:26whatever it is or you know, so therefore you don't count from I
- 12:31don't know if anyone says stop counting from antibiotics
- 12:35because you're not, you could be healthy and you're still taking
- 12:37antibiotics. But anyways, whatever the stock
- 12:40is becoming healthy. That's what we go by from there
- 12:44or whatever you're of and how you define, but made of Arium al
- 12:51Moorim. Basically, one has a fever
- 12:53because their whole body's affected by it.
- 12:55That's called the whole body is sick and you wait 7 full days,
- 13:02right 24 * 7 if it affects the whole body, but if it only
- 13:11effects one limb, you can go and see a small pain in the eyes.
- 13:21So that's that's not called where your whole body is sick.
- 13:26So that so then only if your whole body is sick or if you
- 13:30we're going to keep reading. So then you wait a full 7 days.
- 13:35But if it's just something minor, we're going to see more
- 13:38as we keep reading Mamtinim lo AAD shiyavri.
- 13:42So then all you need to do is just wait till the baby is
- 13:45healthy. Lahar shiyavri Malin Otto Miyad
- 13:49And as soon as he's healthy, then you circumcise him
- 13:51immediately or even the same day.
- 13:54Ava KE volo enav ke EV gadol. But if you have a the, I don't
- 14:02know, very painful eyes, have a keholi shubho hagoof.
- 14:07So then that considered a holy of the whole body.
- 14:11And then you wait a full 7 days. I'll just quote a little bit.
- 14:15So this is mostly from Sakyo Machuvas.
- 14:17I'm just assuming most would agree that basically, you know,
- 14:21he writes what do we call if Inaim Gadol for the eyes that we
- 14:26wait seven days. That's if they're a very red or
- 14:30there's separation pus coming out.
- 14:33But if it's just a little red, then you would do it right away.
- 14:40So it could be no. Then it is a wholly well depends
- 14:43on depends on how you define a little red or pink or but if
- 14:49it's it can be considered a little bit sick and then you
- 14:52would wait. Do we know what jaundice the
- 14:54yellowish. Yeah.
- 14:55So we're going to get to jaundice in a minute.
- 14:59Yeah, I'll just point out. So if you look in, I mean you
- 15:05don't need to, but you can look in the shock or a couple places.
- 15:08He points out that if I mean this is the halacha again, ask
- 15:13your Rob or Moell at the time. But if the baby is having some
- 15:17kind of pain and some kind of a sickness or, or pain and he's
- 15:22uncomfortable, so the halakha is we wait until he's comfortable,
- 15:28even if he's not really sick. Because we're afraid the fact
- 15:33that he's he's he's pain for some, he's under pain for some,
- 15:37he's having pain for some reason or he has some kind of a
- 15:40condition or some kind of a wound, then we're afraid that it
- 15:45can lead to a sakana. So in general, if the baby is
- 15:51suffering, even though they're not sick, we wait until they get
- 15:55better and then you can do it right away.
- 15:58That's the general rule. He just quotes from Saakim here.
- 16:01So generally, you know, broken legs and bruising from birth.
- 16:05So again, depends on the case. You'll probably wait till he
- 16:07gets better, but you certainly do not wait seven days.
- 16:11That's not how we call a goof. He says, I'll do this
- 16:16afterwards. Temperature, so his rule for a
- 16:19temperature that you have to wait seven days for as he
- 16:24writes, 38°C, that's 100 and .4 Fahrenheit or if it's below 36
- 16:33Celsius or below 96.8 person a baby has trouble breathing and
- 16:38they're on oxygen. So he said again, it really
- 16:41depends on the case. He writes, you wait seven days,
- 16:43but I'm sure it's check with the with the doctor.
- 16:47I mean, all these things you have to check really what's
- 16:50what's the condition, what's causing it.
- 16:52The baby has a blood transfusion for, I don't know, high belly
- 16:56Ruben or whatever it is. Probably you would wait seven
- 16:58days, He writes. If it's anemic.
- 17:03So if it needs real treatment, you'd wait seven days.
- 17:06But what normal is, what's what we normally hear about is just a
- 17:10little bit, and it's called jaundice.
- 17:12It's a little bit yellow. So then we just assume that the
- 17:15baby's blood or whatever the condition is isn't fully
- 17:20developed. It's not considered a sickness.
- 17:23And then as soon as the baby's ready that the color comes back
- 17:27to within normal are close enough.
- 17:30So then you don't have to wait at all.
- 17:31You do it right away. Wally's jaundice.
- 17:36So you wait exactly. But as soon as it goes away
- 17:39again, depends what level of jaundice, but yeah, how mild,
- 17:43how moderate. OK.
- 17:45Now for premature babies, so generally he writes normally we
- 17:48wait until they are at least 37 weeks, a full 37 weeks from
- 17:55pregnancy go by. So then that's, then that's OK
- 18:01if it was born before that. So you wait till the baby's 37
- 18:04weeks. That's the general rule.
- 18:06He writes then ask and the beginning of the 38th week is,
- 18:14is, is generally OK. Obviously I have to check the
- 18:16baby and well, I the way he writes it was once it's the 38th
- 18:26week, whatever. Ask the seven days is really, I
- 18:33think to know that from sickness.
- 18:37If the baby's healthy at week 36, I think everyone would agree
- 18:41in 37 you're good to go after after 37 is complete, then
- 18:46you're good to go because it's nothing.
- 18:49The baby is not necessarily premature, doesn't mean it's
- 18:52unhealthy or sick, but just it's not quite ready.
- 18:56So that's anyway ask your help baby incubate into incubate it.
- 19:02So then Igus Moshe and Teteliezer says you wait seven
- 19:06days. Again, depends on the case, but
- 19:09let's see you're right. If a baby falls tent fucking God
- 19:14forbid, ask shilot to make sure the baby's healthy.
- 19:17If the baby's not nursing again, find out why they're not
- 19:20nursing. You might have to wait seven
- 19:22days. Generally.
- 19:24Most postscheme he writes say weight itself is not necessarily
- 19:28a factor. Weight on its own to see what's
- 19:31going on with the baby itself, but so most so he says most
- 19:35would give even if it's less than just as an example, 2 point
- 19:395K or 5.5 lbs. If the baby's completely
- 19:44healthy, according to the doctors, you wouldn't weight.
- 19:46But some do weight and say it needs to be at least 2.6 or 5.7
- 19:52three. Anyway, just something general
- 19:54knowledge. OK, let's keep reading it
- 19:57inside. Yeah, just a bit more Gilman
- 20:00androgynous. This is a baby that has both
- 20:04male and female genitalia. Umichiacelloste or alot or he
- 20:09has two or alotes. That either means 2 layers of
- 20:14foreskin or it means. They has two actual Ivarium to
- 20:19do to to do an Orlon 2 separate ones.
- 20:22So either case or Vyote dolphin or C-section Cesarean comes out
- 20:28this right. We're familiar with that
- 20:31mimoleum Le Shimona, all of these cases, you don't do it
- 20:35before the 8th and you do it on the 8th, right?
- 20:38We're assuming that then we're not.
- 20:39This is a new category. We're not sick and so there's no
- 20:43reason not to do it on the 8th. It's but we don't do these cases
- 20:46on Shabbas. So that's kind of where the case
- 20:48comes from because there's a comparison or a question in the
- 20:51Gemara. But it OK, so then so for
- 20:53Shabbos, it's not doka. We'll see when we get there.
- 20:56But for our purposes, we do it on the eighth day.
- 20:59Let's do one more Dalit. No lad.
- 21:02Beneshmachus money moment. Mehalaila Venemo with Tashi
- 21:06issues. Well, Lila.
- 21:08So as soon as the baby once it reaches we said this, we started
- 21:12to talk about this. Once it hits after sunset, then
- 21:16the ski is over and it starts being a shamashos.
- 21:19And that is we call Suffolk and therefore ammonium that we count
- 21:25for and that's already counted for the night time.
- 21:28So that it's so in other words, it's the 8th day from the next
- 21:36for the night from the next day. You don't count being a Shmashas
- 21:40as the day, you count it as a night time.
- 21:44So they now you know, it's either 8th or 9th day depending
- 21:47what you're counting from, but it's the 8th day from that
- 21:50night, but it's still on a case of a Suffolk for for Shabbos.
- 21:54It's not doka Shabbos. We'll see Mimosi rocho hutzo
- 21:57frozdor mimbo ODM OSHA sham oto Boca Philo nola lakharkama yamim
- 22:02moni mosh Mona yami miyom shiatsa rocho on Yom shishamo
- 22:08oto Boca. So, and once it comes out,
- 22:12either most of the head, which is most of the forehead, or if
- 22:17would be a breech birth right or Akuz Rakuz in Hebrew, then it's
- 22:24it could be legs first. It could be then you go after
- 22:28Roche Rove, Rove, goofy Rove of the body.
- 22:32So it's either if it's the head first normal, that's most of the
- 22:35head, most of the forehead. But if it's a breech, then it's
- 22:40most of the body. Or you even hear it crying
- 22:44because we assume that the baby's mouth came out and went
- 22:49back in. If you can hear the baby cry,
- 22:51then that's the assumption and so therefore we assume it was
- 22:54already born. Since it was during the day,
- 22:56then that's when it is. It's 8th day from when that
- 22:59happened. Kva shomri maga da have got to
- 23:02be stunned. That's normal right?
- 23:04If we, the woman didn't say anything about labor pains, then
- 23:07count them crying. We assume is for sure that it
- 23:10came out of all in emo marriage. If the woman tells you again,
- 23:21don't ask me how this is possible.
- 23:22If the woman tells you, I know for sure.
- 23:25I had no labor pains and no baby was coming out and I felt 100%
- 23:29the same as always. Alpha P shashama bokhe Manila MI
- 23:33omaleida. Then we believe her.
- 23:38Maybe Vade, maybe Suffolk, we believe her that it didn't come
- 23:43out even though we we heard the baby cry.
- 23:45I guess it was crying from inside the womb or maybe, I
- 23:47don't know, baby from next door. Maybe it was a baby from next
- 23:51door. That'd be more common in the
- 23:52hospital than us. The Alpha Gabe de la Sri
- 23:55actually, even though it's not so common right until the baby
- 24:00comes out, holds the frozen door until it comes out.
- 24:02Nicole Malcolm AME. But Lamai said we believe the
- 24:06mother Lamar Shahaya Munakamo Bashar Palmim Ubacha.
- 24:10We believe that it didn't come out and I'll just point out from
- 24:14the girl real quick. So here is he talks about it.
- 24:18He points out that when it comes to night time, it doesn't go by
- 24:22the sky. It goes by stars and we have
- 24:27Frisesa Kulkagin, so and it's in the morning, it's the opposite.
- 24:32The Ammu de Shaka goes by the light of the night and it has
- 24:37nothing to do with the stars, right?
- 24:40I think we're all familiar with that.
- 24:41It's just interesting how he puts it in that, in that
- 24:43comparison. And he says that, right?
- 24:46He holds 100% that there are astronomic shkia is the shkia
- 24:52and it's only 13 1/2 minutes until sais vadai for halakha,
- 24:59right? And that's the real sais is 13
- 25:03and a 13 and 13 1/2 minutes after shkia.
- 25:09But he points out that the that the time of 13 1/2 minutes or 72
- 25:14minutes in the in the morning, maybe whatever it is, he writes
- 25:18that that's all based on Eretz Israel and based on a day that's
- 25:23six to six. If obviously now we're in the
- 25:27summer or it's in the winter, then that 13 1/2 minutes can
- 25:30become a little bit shorter for stays or it could be a little
- 25:34bit longer. 20 minutes is for sure going to be fine for all
- 25:39year. So anyway, but that's where it
- 25:42is. So, and if you're in a different
- 25:44height, right in the horizon, whatever the latitude, so then
- 25:48things change a little bit accordingly.
