Minchas Yitzchok: Can You Say Bircas Ha"Ilanos After the Month of Nisan?

The Shulchan Aruch says that one who sees the budding fruit trees during the month of Nisan should make a bracha. The Mishnah Brurah says that the bracha may be said anytime one sees the budding fruit trees for the first time that year even if it is not the month of Nisan. However the Minchas Yitzchok (10:16) says that this is only true in a climate that the trees bud at a different time of the year, such as in Australia that the trees bud in Tishrei not in Nisan. In such a case the bracha may be said at that time even though it is not Nisan. However in climates similar to Eretz Yisrael that the trees bud at the time of Nisan many Poskim hold that the bracha may only be said in Nisan, even if you find a tree budding after Nisan. Therefore if you didn't make the bracha in Nisan you may say it but without Shem Hashem.

TORAH: Haircut and Shaving Permitted Today according to some

Haircut and Shaving Permitted Today according to some

When Rosh Chodesh Iyar falls on a Shabbos, as it does this year, this coming Shabbos, one is permitted to take a haircut and shave on Erev Shabbos in honor of the double simcha of Shabbos and Rosh Chodesh, even for those who are keeping minhagim of aveilus from Pesach to Lag Ba'omer (Shulchan Aruch w/Mishnah Berurah 493:1 MB5).Many wonder whether this heter may be relied upon by those who normally keep the chumrah (stringency) of Rav Yehudah Hachossid and do not ever take a haircut on Rosh Chodesh even when it falls on a Friday.

 This is a machlokes haposkim. Rav Moshe Feinstein zt"l and Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky zt"l held that (only for those who have already begun their aveilus in sefirah) this Friday is an exception and one may take a haircut and shave this Friday. The Steipler Gaon zt"l held that they may not, The Kaf Hachaim held that they should rather take a haircut on Thursday, today, after chatzos (L'Torah V'Horoah Vol. 2 pg. 20, Emes L'Yaakov 260:1, Bein Pesach L'Shavuos pg. 246, Kaf Hachaim 493:47).

All Here2cheeruup readers are reminded to consult with their rabbonim for a final p'sak.

-If a bris milah occurs during sefirah, it is permitted for the sandik, mohel and father of the baby to take a haircut/shave on the day before the bris (in the late afternoon) in honor of the bris. {If the bris is on Shabbos, they may take a haircut even Friday morning)}
(Shulchan Aruch w/Mishnah Brurah 493:2).

One should consult his Rov as to which opinion to follow.

2 of the 3 students that are being held in Japan

 

Jerusalem - In a detailed report, Israeli TV station Channel 10 described how Mr. Bentzy Miller, a personal aide and confidante to the Satmar Rebbe of Kiryas Joel, served however innocently as a liaison between one Avraham Malachi and Chareidi yeshivah students.

Malachi himself is said to be a leading foot soldier of the Abergil clan, an Israeli international crime family involved in international drug-running operations of Ecstasy and other illicit drugs. Their operations penetrated the yeshivah world, using unwitting and innocent yeshivah students as couriers—such as the three who were caught at a Japanese airport with 90,000 Ecstasy pills concealed in their suitcases without their knowledge.

"They were understandably confused, they were in shock," said noted Israeli attorney Mordechai Tzivin, who traveled to Japan to meet with them in their cells. "Here they came from a very structured life, and they were deceived by a frum person whose entire goal was to trick them."

According to the report, the threesome was told they were smuggling antiques so as to avoid paying taxes.

Tzivin says that the entire international Satmar community has mobilized to free the three students. "Whether Antwerp, London, S. Paolo, New York, or Israel, there is an unprecedented draft to help these innocent lads," he told Channel 10 in an interview.

Meanwhile, the youngest of the three is about to go to trial, with the two older students' trial scheduled for next month. Israel's religious community is doing everything it can to save them.

In Israel, Bentzy Miller's trial is soon to begin.
