The holiday of Shavuot marks the beginning of the summer season for all of us. Those of us fortunate

enough to live in Jerusalem can look forward to hot days and pleasant nights with very little humidity. Jerusalem has a semi-desert climate and many medical people have remarked that it is essentially a very healthy climate. But summer is more than a story of weather and sun, important as these factors are.

It is also a mood, a sense of relaxing from our dizzying pace of living and a chance to recharge our emotional and physical batteries. The famous American song of George and Ira Gershwin summed it up succinctly: “Summertime, and the living is easy.”

Well, here in Israel one can hardly ever describe the “living “ as being easy but even here the long sunny days (it almost never rains here in the summer) and the fact that the pace of life, school, and even commerce slows, contributes to the mood change that I described above.

Children are free from school in the main and

A few years ago, a leading charedi educator boasted to me that except for the few days of Av surrounding Tisha B’Av, his school never had any vacation for its students. I gently reminded him of a responsa of Rabbi Yitzchak of Dampiere, Rashi’s grand nephew and one of the chief editors of Tosafot to the Talmud.

Rabbi Yitzchak was presented with a case where a teacher was discharged by his employer because he allowed the child to take off a day from his studies. The teacher appealed to Rabbi Yitzchak to have him reinstated.

Rabbi Yitzchak found in favor of the teacher

teacher and the student to have some time off from the regimen of studies. The educator was most impressed by my erudition but as far as I know the calendar at his school has yet to be adjusted to conform to this idea.

The Jewish summer is divided into three distinct

engaged is from Shavuot to the seventeenth of Tammuz. This is usually the most pleasant time of the summer, weather wise and mood wise. It still has the anticipation and excitement of summer plans and the chance to wind down and appreciate

life and its blessings in spite of its problems and disappointments.

It is the season for weddings, family visits, trips

reaches an almost abrupt ending with the advent of the seventeenth of Tammuz and the period of mourning for the destruction of the Temples and the Jewish exile.

In the Ashkenazic world, there are no weddings until after Tisha B’Av and enjoyable occasions and trips are minimized. The Sephardim begin their period of commemoration mourning on Rosh Chodesh Av or on the week in which Tisha B’Av itself falls. In any event this

second period of the summer is the low point of the season for Jews, heavy with memory, angst and an aching sadness.

This period of time does allow us to assess what we do have and the progress that we and civilization have made over the past nineteen hundred and thirty eight years since the Romans destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem - but it also poignantly points out to us the distance in the road that we have yet to travel to make good that loss.

B’Av until Rosh Hashana is already a busy time. Elul marks the beginning of the season of the High Holy Days, schools reopen (hopefully on time this year) and the pace of life picks up in anticipation of the great and holy days that lie immediately before us.

The end of summer brings with it a sadness related to departing time coupled with a heightened anticipation of the new year and its potential blessings and accomplishments. The knowledge that the great holidays are just beyond the horizon is the true comfort for the otherwise sad departure of summer, its warmth, beauty and relaxed mood.

The Jewish calendar of the year is truly a work of Divine genius. It is meant to give humans the greatest

meaning. I think that it certainly accomplishes that

example of how the Torah is the book of human guidance and challenge.

A very pleasant and happy summer to all. Reprinted with permission from www.torah.org

Soup to Nuts Your kashrus Questions. . . Answered

Written by Rabbi Dovid CohenA service of the Chicago Rabbinical Council2701 West Howard | 773-465-3900

STEELWOOLQ. I was in a “kosher” supermarket and found a

few brands of steel wool without a hechsher. I remember reading that oil is used in the productionof steel wool so as to reduce friction. Does anyoneknow what type of oil is used? In other words,should all steel wool need to have a reliable hechsher?

A. The experts we spoke to were of the opinionthat mineral oil would be used for this purpose, andsince mineral oil is kosher from any source you canfeel free to use any steel wool even if it is not koshercertified.

On a related topic, some steel wool comes withsoap already on the steel wool. The soap does notpose a kashrus concern, even if the company acknowledges that it is made from non-kosher animal fat (as one prominent brand does), becausesoaps are considered inedible. Accordingly, you mayuse the steel wool even if it contains soap

FREEKEHQ. We were introduced to a new grain product,

freekeh, which is the grains from green wheat, similar to wheat-berries. Does it need hashgachahbecause it is a whole grain (similar to rice) and whatbracha do you say on it?

A. Freekeh refers to an ancient method of preparing unripe grains for eating, and may be related to the food called karmel in Vayikra 23:14. Inrecent years, companies have begun mass-producing a wheat-freekeh which they have beenselling in the USA and other countries where it waspreviously unknown.

If the freekeh is pure without any flavors or sensitive additives, then it may be purchased and consumed even if it is not certified as kosher. If thefreekeh is ground into flour (and then used in cooking), cooked as broken-pieces, or cooked to thepoint that the pieces break or stick together, thebracha rishonah is mezonos. If, however, it is cookedand served as whole-kernels, the proper bracha isha’adamah.

LAKEMICHIGANQ. Is it okay to perform tevillas keilim in Lake

Michigan?

A. Yes. One should consult with their Rabbi before

performing tevillas keilim in a river or small lake, butthere is no question that Lake Michigan is suitable.

KOSHER ALERTSPlease be advised that Trop50 Juice Beverage with Vitamins- Pomegranate Blueberry (Canadaonly) produced by Pepsico Beverage & Foods (Tropicana Products) Barrington, IL erroneously bearsthe OK kosher symbol, this product is not kosher. Corrective measures are being taken.

Recipes from our kitchen to yours!

Cinnamon RollsSubmitted by Brocha Turen

Dough6 Tbsp unsalted butter, to be divided1/2 cup whole milk, warmed (but not over 116 degrees)2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (from 1 .25-ounce or 7 gram envelope yeast)3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra forrolling1/4 cup (packed) light or dark brown sugar1/4 cup granulated sugar1 tsp table salt1/2 tsp ground cinnamon1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg1/8 tsp ground cardamom (optional)1/4 tsp ground ginger2/3 cups pumpkin puree, canned or home-made1 large eggOil for coating rising bowl

Filling3/4 cup (packed) light or dark brown sugar1/4 cup granulated sugar1/8 tsp table salt2 tsp ground cinnamon

Glaze4 ounces cream cheese, softened2 Tbsp milk or buttermilk2 cups powdered sugar, siftedFew drops vanilla extract (optional)

DirectionsDough: Melt butter in saucepan (brown wellfor extra flavor!) Once the butter has melted,continue cooking over medium heat for a fewadditional minutes. It will become hissy andsizzle a lot, then take on a nutty flavor asgolden bits form at the bottom of the pot.Remove from heat and set aside to coolslightly.

Combine warmed milk and yeast in a smallbowl and set aside for five to seven minutes,it should be a bit foamy. (If it’s not, youmight have some bad yeast and should startagain with a newer packet.)

In the bottom of the bowl of an electricmixer combine flour, sugars, salt and spices.Add just 1/4 cup of your melted/brownedbutter and stir to combine. Add yeast-milkmixture, pumpkin and egg. Mix until combined. Switch mixer to a dough hookand run it for 5 minutes on low.

Scrape mixture into a large oiled bowl andcover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 1 hourin a draft-free place; it should just about double.

While it is rising, line the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans (8-inch round orsquare works too!) with parchment paperand butter the sides of the pan and thepaper.

Assemble buns: Scoop dough onto a verywell floured surface and flour the top of itwell. With a rolling pin, roll the dough to anapproximately 16×11-inch rectangle. Brushreserved melted/browned butter over dough.

Filling: Stir together remaining filling ingredients and sprinkle mixture evenly overdough. Starting on a longer side, roll thedough into a tight spiral. (It’s going to makea mess because the dough is crazy soft andsome stuff spills off the ends; don’t sweat it.It will all be delicious in the end.)

To cut cinnamon rolls: With a sharp serratedknife, using no pressure (only the weight ofthe blade should land on the dough) gentlysaw your log with a back-forth motion into approximately 1-inch sections. (If dough hasgrown, you can either make more buns (18 instead of 16) or just cut them a little larger(in generous inches).

Divide buns between two prepared pans. Youcan sprinkle any sugar that fell off onto thecounter over them. Cover each pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 45 minutes.

If you’re doing this ahead of time, you cannow put them in the fridge overnight. In themorning, leave them out for an hour to warmup and finish rising.

15 minutes before you’re ready to bake them,heat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 30 minutes oruntil lightly browned.

Glaze: Beat cream cheese until light andfluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Drizzle in milk until you get the consistency you’re looking for, either thickenough to ice or thin enough to drizzle.
