1) David did ashes ish with Batsheva
2) The child might not know who his father was and therefore not know his yichus. He might end up marrying his sister because of this.
3) David murdered Uriah
4) David murdered all those who followed Uriah in battle
5) David took Batsheva immediately afterwards because he still desired her and it was inappropriate for all to see such a great person to succumb to his desires
Malbim
1) David did not do aishet ish because…
· Everyone had to get a Get before their husbands went to war and for sure Batsheva got one because her husband was one of the geborim of David and her grandfather Achitofel, David’s advisor, instituted the whole Get thing. Even if it was a Get Al Tinay, David could have sent Uriah away and he would have never come back.
· They wouldn’t have gotten married if their relationship was asur
· David wouldn’t have davened for the child if it was a mamzer
· Hashem wouldn’t have accepted his Tesuvah, which he did and David found out from Nasan Ha’Navi.
· He wouldn’t have been able to do teshuvah while she was still living with him.
· Hashem would never call Shlomo Yedidya if he came from an asur relationship
· David wouldn’t have been worrying about whether she was a nidah or not if there was a question of aishes ish
2) There would be no problem with the child’s yishus because…
· David would know and he would tell the child when the time was appropriate and the child would know not to marry his sister
· They couldn’t send Bathseva away because she was an Isha Chashuva and and people would notice that she was missing
· David then had to choose whether he would cause a Chilul Hashem by telling everyone what he did or to do the chait of Aishes Ish by sending Uriah back to Batsheva, and he chose to do aishet ish because chilul Hashem is horrible. But Uirah did not want to go back so David was fine.
3) David did not murder Uriah because…
· Uriah was Chayav Misah for three things
A. He didn’t go back to his wife when David told him to go. He said that while the Aron was in a hut at war and his fellow giborim were out in the fields he wouldn’t go and enjoy himself. But it is a mitzvah to go back to your wife after a long trip. Uriah said that you’re not allowed when the Aron is at war. Really, the Halacha only applies when the Luchos are in the Aron and when the king is at war, which neither was.
B. He rejected the meal that David sent him. David knew that Uriah wanted to go back to the war, so he said you cold go back tomorrow, assuming that Uirah would relax once he knew he was going to return. But he didn’t. So David tried to get him drunk, but he refused.
C. He called Yoav his master, not David’s servant.
4) David did not murder those who followed Uriah because…
· David was specific with his words to put Uriah in the front lines. David did not create this war to kill Uriah. He didn’t even put Uriah in an abnormal place. The giborim usually went in the front lines. David didn’t say to put him in a place that he would be specifically hurt.
· David couldn’t kill him by Sanhedrin because he’d then have to take Batsheva right away because she was pregnant and it would look like he killed Uriah in order to marry Bathseva.
· Uriah died a natural war death. Also, he went within the one mile of a city wall limit, where soldiers usually did not go because they were easy targets. Uriah went without Yoav’s permission, so David definitely did not cause his death or those who followed.
5) David did not look bad in the eyes of the people because…
· Bathseva called Uriah her “baalah”, a term of position, not like “isha” a term of relationship. She was not emotionally connected to Uirah.
· After Uriha died it was an appropriate thing for David to marry Bathseva because Uriah was his gibor. This only looked bad in the eyes of Hashem because David caused this whole situation to be mentioned in the list of Elokei Avraham, Yitzchak, v’Yaakov.
2) The child might not know who his father was and therefore not know his yichus. He might end up marrying his sister because of this.

Halacha Notes for Rabbi Hoffman
Halacha Notes
1) Grifa is removing the olive pit ashes or coals.
2) Ketima is lowering the temperature by putting ashes over the fire. This serves as a reminder of bishul.
3) Ketima is considered a blech.
4) Rav Moshe says that you just have to cover the fire to have a belch and Rav Aharon says you also have to cover the knobs.
5) Sheiyah is leaving food on the fire on Shabbos.
6) Don’t have to know
7) Don’t have to know
8) Don’t have to know
9) Chazarah is returning to the fire on Shabbos because it’s mechzi k’mivashel (looks like cooking).
10) Maachel ben Drusai is food that is partially cooked and is minimally edible. Rashi says it’s 1/3 cooked and ramban says ½ cooked. This is when the isur of cooking begins. It has to be Maachel ben Drusai before shabbos.
11) Hagasa is stirring food on the fire.
12) Scooping food without moving the rest is a machlokes if it is hagasah. Lakewood people say it’s a problem and Rabbi Forst says it’s not.
13) The Kol Bo says even when the food it totally cooked Hagasah is an isur dioreisa.
14) The Mishan brurah says that the kol bo is shocking but we follow it.
15) Scooping from the top
1. Cooks more
2. It’s an act of cooking so it’s isur itself
16) Borer only applies when there is a true mixture. The Taz says that it applies even if there is no true mixture. That would mean it’s asur to chose socks on Friday night for Shabbos morning.
17) WCHIB stands for warm, cooked, hand, intent, blech. Sfardim differ on warm, they say it has to be hot.
18) Hand and intent can be eliminated, one in tzorech kitzas, and both for tzorech gadol.
19) Hatmanah is totally enveloping food to retain heat.
20) Two types of hatmanah are 1. Insulated with something that adds heat (hatmanah badavar shemosif hevel) like a crock-pot or heating pan 2. Covered with somethinhg that just retains heat
21) hatmanah badavar shemosif hevel is assur on Friday afternoon.
22) The three conditions necessary for something not to be borer: biyad (with your hand), miyad (immediately), and good from biyad (good from bad with your hand)
23) The Atlantic City method works because it’s not a mixture- you throw it to spread it out.
24) Two types of pikuach nefesh: time is of the essence and time is not of the essence- minimize halacha.
25) Taking medicine is tochen (grinding).
26) Three types of people could take medicine
1. choleh kol gufo (whole body is sick)
2. nofel u’mishkav (lying down) so much so that you can’t fake being well
3. Aver echad (one limb) is very painful
27) Preventative medicine is allowed.
28) Heterim for amira l’akum on deoreisa: Boro Park Chalah Eez Best:
1. Bain ha’shimashos, (Ahskenazim follow Rav Shlomo Miller who says 30 min after shkiyah; Chasidim hold 72 minutes [Estee Greenbaum and Shira Rothstein]; in Israel they hold 13 minutes)
2. Psik reisha- not actively happening
3. choleh
4. eruv
5. bris
29) Heterim for amira l’akum on derabanan: Her Majestty’s kalah Tzedaak:
1. Hefsed merubah (great loss)
2. Mitzvah
3. kavod habrios
4. tzarchei rabim
30) Two issurim on arimrah:
1. You can’t tell goy to do an isur
2. You can’t benefit from milacha that a goy did, even if he did it on his own- except for eruv and doesn’t refer to the absence of something (like turning off the light)
31) Hinting is allowed when you’re not telling him to do it and when it’s the removal of something.
32) Hakol cholim etzel hatzinah – everyone is considered a choleh when it’s cold. So, you could ask a goy to turn on the heat on a very cold day.
33) A child isn’t a choleh regarding asking a goy to do something for him when he’s: 9 or 10 (dayan weiss), 10 or 11 (tzitz eliezer), 12 (rabi tzion abba shaul and rabbi hoffman)
Eruv
It’s an isur deoreisah.
Four types of areas:
rishus harabim (public)
rishus hayachid (enclosed area)
karmelis (non enclosed area that’s not considered public)- you can only have aneruv in a karmelis with less that 600,000 people
makum patur (an expemted spot) like the top of a fire hydrent
Two types of carrying isurim-
havarah (carrying something) in rishus harabim for four amos (rav chaim naeh 18 inches and rav moshe feinstein 21.25 inches and chazon ish says 24 inches)
Transferring from one domain to another even if it’s less than four amos- you need an akira (uproot from one rishus) hanacha (putting it down in another rishus)- if you’re missing one of those elements then it’s only an isur derebanan. Deoreisa has to have both those elements in a rishus harabim
Karmelis- derabanan to carry here. Far Rockaway and Lawrence are karmelis.
To get out of the isur of carrying you need to mix (make surrounding walls around the area) and share (food)
An eruv has two elements
walls or doorways surrounding the city (tzuras hapesach- series of doorways) a doorway si two posts (lechi) and the top is a mashkof. The mashkof has to be on top of the lechis not in the middle.
2. food kept in an accessible place
Makom patur- stops hanacha (putting it down). If you take something out by accident you put it on something more than ten tefachim above the ground (life a fire hydrant) but less than four by four on top. Then it’s just a derabanan.
Rishus harabim- Rav Moshe and Chasidim had a machlokes over what is rishus harabim. “im yaish b’richov” so what’s a rchov. Rav Moshe said that broolyn and the city are rishus harabim because there are more than 600,000 people in the city, and rechov is the city. Chasidim say echov is the actual block so they have eruvs in the city and in Brooklyn.
Machlokes: Rishus harabim without 600,000 people? If the street is 16 amos wide and 6000,00 or only one. Some say yes and some say no.

Does anyone want to split the Shmuel perakim and do the mi amar el mi and al mi ne'emar questions and then put it on the blog. If a lot of people want to do it, then everyone will only have to do a perek or two.
