Shalom all I was wondering about preparing light meals on the sabbath,or if you warm something up.I know in Israel or amongst very orthodox people in judaism,that they are very strict about what they can and cannot do on the sabbath. Anyway the most i ever would do is maybe heat something up like a sandwich that was already made the day before,or heat up a can of soup,maybe make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,etc. well check back later IP: Logged |

Hi Dan; The Sabbath is a Feast day and as such we are to celebrate it with wholeheartedness! Roasting, cooking, and even baking for that day’s dining is not only permitted, it is the right thing to do! However we should not cook up a storm so that all our meals are prepared for the entire week! In fact, we are allowed to eat of the left overs for only one following day, and after that we are to burn the balance! Offerings such as Hospitality which involves inviting others for the Feast, is a wonderful alm, however we should not allow for heathens to eat of the meat that is sacrificed! I hope that helps! As for our day today, I am bringing an entire Halibut to the Feast which I just caught on Wednesday! In total we caught some 450 lbs of clean fish which we had to clean! William IP: Logged |

Shabbat shalom William. I have a question for you. How and when do you, your spouse, your children, your servants or the stranger who does all the "roasting, cooking, and even baking" rest on the commanded day of rest? Exodus 20 (8) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: (10) But the seventh day is the Sabbath of YAHWEH thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: (11) For in six days YAHWEH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. The only way that you, your spouse, your children, your servants or the stranger who does all the "roasting, cooking, and even baking" could honor the fourth commandment is to do the "roasting, cooking, and even baking" on the preparation day which is on day six and not on YAHWEH'S holy Sabbath. Have you never read and learned the lesson of this scripture? Exodus 16 (4) Then said YAHWEH unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in MY law, or no. (5) And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. … (28) And YAHWEH said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep MY Commandments and MY Laws? (29) See, for that YAHWEH hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

Shalom Daniel I like the verse you put up of Ecc 7:16. I myself am not above making a sandwich on Shabbat. When a person works through the week days, I have not always had a chance to prepare much for Shabbat in advance. When the disciples were walking through a cornfield on Shabbat, they plucked ears of corn and ate. They had to pull the husks off first before they could eat. (Throwing some things on a slice of bread is not more work than this.) They were accused by the Pharisees of breaking the Sabbath law, (even today orthodox will not unwrap something in plastic) but this is where Yahshuah reminded them that Messiah is Master of the Sabbath. (Mark's account says "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath) I think we have to be careful not to add too many "rules" to Sabbath like the Pharisees did. Else we will be making rules on everything. One christian denomination says "you can wade but you can't swim on Shabbat. This is what I mean, avoiding these type of "rules." IP: Logged |

Shalom Judah Lion well i feel about the same way,since i do real hard work all week long.Making a sandwich or heating one up i can not imagine this as being considered work.Granted im not gonna make a traditional five course meal or something.If i do anything i make sure to keep it simple.Slapping some deli cold cuts together for a sandwich or even heating one up is not considered work to me.Doing commercial landscaping in the blue ridge mountains all week is. Usually anyway i go to the Deli friday nights and buy some sandwiches for that night and one or two to make it through the sabbath day.Sometimes i may heat one up in the oven because they are best hot.But thats only occasionally.Or other times i may make a sandwich with cold cuts or make a tuna sandwich.Today i made chicken noodle soup which was canned anyway and took all of five minutesl. Like you said the Sabbath was made for man not the other way around.Also some people can put some unrealistic rules or burdens on others,like not unwrapping something in plastic(where did the idea for this come from?)I've seen a lot of (legalistic,Pharisaical) burdens or extra commands just put into things.Thats why i put the verse up from Ecclesiastes, i think some people get way out of balance trying to be (OverRighteous,or Self Righteous).Just like the Pharisees who were the Religous experts of their day but their hearts were not correct. Anyway glad to see you posting IP: Logged |

quote: Just as a side note, not all P'rushim (Pharisees) have been in line with some of the halakhot (traditions) that certain P'rushim and some Rabbis came up with. The thing to remember is that "certain" P'rushim began making halakhot, initially well intentioned, but some of it seems to have gotten out of hand with "certain" P'ruhim. It is no different than today when Orthodox Judaism was seen to have been outdated in certain practices, then certain Rabbis taught Reform Judaism as a certain direction. Yet, then "certain" Rabbis fealt that the Reform movement had gone too far in the its rejection of traditional observance. All this just to say that problems are based not on the halalkhot (traditions), but in some people interpretation that a halakhot is equal to Torah. So for example if Y'hudim from lest just say Germany have a tradition not to unwrap anything on Shabbat, they don't have the right to force Y'hudim from lets say Yemen to follow their halakhah (tradition). If for example a Y'hudi from the BaLemba in South Africa follows halakhot (customs) that developed in his particular region then he has no right to force that on lets say a B'nei M'nashsheh from India. Unfornately, this is what was happening before/during/and still the time Mashee'akh was on earth. There were "CERTAIN" P'rushim who went to far in making halakhot that they began to equate as equal to Torah. Of course not all P'rushim (Pharisees) agreed with this, and certainly the Tz'dukim (Sadduces) didn't agree with it. Even today the Karaim, who descended in a sense from Tz'dukim don't agree with much of Rabbinical, in a sense descended from P'rushim, halakhot. I personally see nothing wrong with following halakhot (traditions), no matter how extreme they seem if that is a "PERSONAL" choice. The problem is when people start forcing their personal halakhot on people. So for example, it is a custom I follow not to eat diary and meat together even though the Torah only deals with cooking a young goat in its mother's milk. Yet, because not eating diary and meat together is a custom of only certain Y'hudim I wouldn't force it on anyone, including my children. At the same time I don't go as far as some who have seperate plates, and some who have seperate refrigerators. At the same time if that is the halakhot that a person follows, I can't and won't judge them on it just as I won't be judge on mine. As long as a halakhot doesn't build up a fence that makes the Torah hidden, there is no problem. The problem has always been that some people started creating halakhot to make a fence around the Torah, and then they kept building fences, where "SOME" people don't even know what the original command was, they may only know what the tradition is. Just a side not. Some times the word Pharisee is used as a blanket, statement for all P'rushim. Not saying that anyone here has been making that, just a personal thing when I hear the word Pharisee. (smile) Normally, the community you live in and the Synagogue you attend would set the mood of the spiritual life of a community to a minor extant. The D'Mar HaBeit or Ruler of the House normally the father of the family would set the the spiritual tone and halakhot of the family along with his wife. Hope that helps. ------------------ IP: Logged |
