TorahSweets- Special Meal
Guest post by JewishByte Contributor, Rabbi Yosef Tropper of CloseToTorah.com
Two questions. What does the beginning of the verse have to do with the end? There should be two separate verses, one describing Yisro’s offerings and the second about the meal they ate “before Hashem”?
ויקח יתרו חתן משה עולה וזבחים לאלקים ויבא אהרן וכל זקני ישראל לאכול לחם עם חתן משה לפני האלקים (יח:יב).
“Yisro offered sacrifices to Hashem; Aharon and the Elders came to eat with Yisro in front of Hashem ” (18:12).

HALACHA OF THE WEEK: A FEATURE OF THE BJSZ DAILY HALACHA SHIUR
RETURNING FOODS TO THE “BLECH” ON SHABBOS
We have previously discussed the use of a “Blech” in order to allow leaving food to cook on the fire during Shabbos. Under normal circumstances this allowance is limited to leaving food on the fire. One is not permitted to place food on the fire – even if it is covered by a “Blech” – on Shabbos. However, under certain conditions, the “Blech” may be used to allow returning food to the fire on Shabbos.
