The just to try to bring a little order to the to the standing the Fill in the different men hug him for the fill in So that we're all on a different maybe on a different page, but at least we have a structure to what we're doing so the We know that on Shabbos we don't wear to fill in why don't we wear to fill in to fill in is a beautiful mitzvah It's God's engagement ring It's a sign of the covenant between ourselves and God So it's a beautiful thing why we're not wearing tulips and shabbat the answer is Because shabbat is the sign shabbat is the ultimate sign between of the love affair between God and the Jewish people That extends to the holidays as well the holidays are a gift that God gave the Jewish people It's a particularly unique to the Jewish people the holidays the Jewish holidays they're not national holidays And therefore we don't wear to fill in on the holidays either What is holamoeid well the word holamoeid itself has to it's two words it's not it's not quite a compound word, but it is
It is a two it's cold and moeid. It's the conjugation of weekday and moeid now The question is which one is stronger is the whole stronger is the moeid stronger and not really the holidays should be stronger But the question is is in in halachic Concept which one is it does it take on the persona of the whole and therefore to fill in would be required or is it no more of a Moeid more of the young toe spirit and therefore to fill in is that required So this is a halachic concept not a personal idea So basically there are three opinions there are three opinions. There's the German Jewish community who makes a brach on the Tfilin and then you have the Soviet community the khasidic community and the grud that medium of the grud that went to ericisrael community That do not put on to fill in at all they don't put on to fill in at all And then you have the askenazic community that put as you know, I mean the German community
But the rest of the jury that it would be that put on to fill in without a brach or Without a brach and that is to go in between well They always that you know the askenazic community generally the mission of rua was generally a very they like safe For harbour and therefore is just let's have a good compromise over here We'll put on the to fill in without a brach Right, so and if we're supposed to be wearing to film or we put them on so we got the mitzvah and if we're not supposed to want So we're just putting on jewelry or we're just carrying them around for a little bit Erring them out during the holiday and therefore so the majority opinion is So therefore you have basically the German Jewish community is unless you're German unless you're a yakish a Jew that's That's out. So you're dealing with only two different minha game The minha got not wearing to fill in if you go to ericisrael nobody is wearing to him There's no such thing as wearing to fill in in there. It's a so period in the public That's not heard of if you're going to put on to fill in you're going to put on to fill in in your house You're not going to put on to fill in in the show. It's absolutely not heard of
in the in the United States In the United States it's yes, yes, you have Both the customs are taking place if you're diving in a show that's primarily one you wouldn't but Men hug him that have mixed minions such as ours here Yeah, both customs and therefore is is that one would one Would put on to fill in either without a brach or You would put on to fill or you wouldn't put on to fill in at all depending upon which camp you hold now in terms of taking off That's fill in everybody agrees that you take off to fill in before you get you take off to fill in when you get to moose That's there's nothing to talk about you take off to fill in because moose is a hundred percent Reflecting the holiday. So that's for sure the the The attempts of taking off to fill in generally the minigas to take off the to fill in after you finish The amida the silent amida after of shahabit the silent amida of shahabit when the chazin is repeating the amida
We slip off the to fill in the only exception. That's true. I'm on succus and pay sakh the only exception is some Leave the to fill in on the first day of pessach because the Torah reading that Rabbi lorch red was the Torah reading of to fill in so therefore We want to give a little boost and injection to the reading and therefore we leave the to fill in on again It's substance inside the universal some leave the to fill in on the first day, but a hundred percent tomorrow We're all going to be doing the same thing right now If you know should say like this if you're not putting on to fill in then you're not going to take them off Because you put them on but if you put on to fill in a hundred percent Everybody would be taking them off after they finish this silent amida while the chazin is repeating the amida The only exception would be if you put a person wearing to fill in up at bat If the guy wearing to fill in is going to be the chazan tomorrow He would not take off the to fill in till after he finishes both the amida and And the hallowed amida in the hallowed the reason for that is that we don't make the community wait
It's in halacha. It's very it's considered a great negative to make the community wait Tichhantat sabur so therefore again tomorrow everybody after they finish their amida while the chazins repeating the amida of Shakhir itself the morning service you're going to take off the to fill in and And again the chazin if he's up at bat with to fill in he would take off his to fill in after he finishes The after finishes the hallowed so it's not to do Tichhantat sabura make the community wait Needlessly we begin in a bit of a casual to cut the shbukh as it's all I think you can pull it take to be sure about dinner
