The consensus of many authorities is that electric lights do not fulfill the mitzvah. The reasons include:
1. At the time we light, there must be enough fuel present for the flame to last for the entire period; electricity is continuously generated. 2. We require direct kindling, as takes place when one touches a flame to a wick; flipping a switch or pressing a button is an act of indirect lighting (grama). 3. The point is to commemorate the original menorah, which employed fuel and wick. 4. Each flame is supposed to be a single flame, not a medurah (lit. bonfire), since the original menorah had a single flame for each wick. A filament, which arcs horizontally, is a medurah. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef says that one who cannot light a standard chanukiah should use an electric chanukiah without a berachah. [Apparently, he is not concerned lest onlookers view this as acceptance of an electric chanukiah in general.] (Har Tzvi Orach Chaim 143; Dvar Halachah (R' Kletzkin) 36; Meorei Eish 5:2; Tzitz Eliezer 1:20:12; Yabia Omer 3:Orach Chaim 35) Soncino Art Scroll Torah Reading Page 277 Page 250 Haftarah Page 293 Page 1144 PARSHAS QUESTIONS MIKETZ BY: THE RAV First Aliyah: What was the difference in message between Pharaoh’s first and second dreams? Second Aliyah: (41:19) What’s the difference between “rakos” and “dakos” (comp. to 41:3)? Third Aliyah: (41:43) What does “avrech” mean? Fourth Aliyah: (42:6) Why does the Torah here have to repeat that which I already know, that Yosef was the leader and provider of all the land? Fifth Aliyah: (42:24) Why did Yosef choose Shimon out of all the brothers to be his hostage? Sixth Aliyah: (43:23) What did the man mean when he said, “Your money has reached me”? Seventh Aliyah: (44:2) Why did Yosef specifically choose his silver goblet to plant in Binyamin’s satchel? SHABBOS SCHEDULE PARSHAS VAYECHI

Second Aliyah: (44:3) How could Yosef ask the question, “Is my father still alive?” after Yehuda had just argued that if they didn’t bring Binyamin back to their father he’d be devastated? Third Aliyah: How could Yosef absolve his brothers of their crime just because this was part of a Divine plan? What about the malice in their hearts that drove them to sell him? Fourth Aliyah: (45:27) What was it about the wagons that were sent to Yaakov that convinced him that Yosef was still alive? Fifth Aliyah: In listing the names of all the 70 members of Yaakov’s family who came to Egypt, why are only two women part of the 70 and the rest are male? Sixth Aliyah: (47:9) Why does Yaakov seem to complain like an old “kvetch” about his life when speaking to Pharaoh? Seventh Aliyah: Of what relevance is it to the future of Klal Yisrael for the Torah to state how Yosef socialized the food supply and took possession of everyone’s property in Egypt? SHABBOS TORAH/HAFTARAH READING Soncino Art Scroll Torah Reading Page 296 Page 268 Haftarah Page 315 Page 1145 PARSHAS QUESTIONS VAYECHI BY: THE RAV First Aliyah: (48:7) In the middle of explaining to Yosef how Ephraim and Menashe would receive special blessings, Yaakov interrupts to explain to Yosef how Rachel died and how he buried her. Why? Second Aliyah: Why did Yaakov switch Menashe for Ephraim? In light of what happened to Yosef as a result of Yaakov showing preferential treatment to a non‐bechor, was this prudent? Third Aliyah: (48:20) Why did Yaakov say that Israel would bless using the names of Ephraim and Menashe? What makes them more special than all his other progeny? Fourth Aliyah: (49:1) Yaakov begins the blessings by saying that he’d inform his sons of what would happen in the future. But do his next words fulfill that statement? Fifth Aliyah: (49:26) What does Yaakov mean when he says that his blessings exceeded his parents’ blessings? Sixth Aliyah: If Yaakov had already arranged with Yosef to be buried in Eretz Yisrael, why did he have to repeat to all his sons the charge to be buried in Me’aras HaMachepela in Canaan? Seventh Aliyah: Of all the twelve sons, why is only Yosef’s death explicitly documented in the Chumash?

SHORT VORT
Ch. 41, v. 56: “Va’yiftach Yoseif es kol asher bohem” – And Yoseif opened all that had in them – Yoseif was the distributor of all the government stored food. Obviously, when people came for food the storage houses had to be open, but what was the point of opening them all? The masses might act with mass hysteria, storming the food warehouses for fear of there not being much stored there. By opening ALL the warehouses the people saw that there was a lot of food stored and they behaved in an orderly manner. (n.l.) This qui‐
eted their hunger somewhat so they managed on less, knowing that much food was available. (Ohr Hachaim Hakodosh) CLOSURES The shul office will be CLOSED on Thursday and Friday December 25 & 26 and Thursday January 1 for the statutory holidays IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS The Library will be CLOSED Sunday December 21.
