Heating Food on Shabbos
Soup? Chicken? Lasagna? Rice? Chocolate? They don’t all go together but what if you want to warm one of them or something else up on Shabbat? Join Rabbi Dr. Stuart Fischman for a review of heating and reheating food on the holy Sabbath.

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the three sessions on warming up food on Shabbat.
My goal in these three classes is to provide an introduction to this very important and interesting subject. In yeshivot and midrashot, when students study this subject as part of their education to be rabbis and teachers literally weeks and even months are devoted to mastering this subject.
Clearly, three meetings cannot provide a thorough understanding of these Halachot. What I do hope is present to you the main opinions on how food may be reheated on Shabbat. There are many opinions regarding the question of how reheat food on Shabbat. In every Jewish community there is a rabbi to whom questions along the lines of , “What should I do” need to be addressed. I will probably present disagreements between the major Poskim. I hope that I have enough self-awareness to know that I cannot be the arbiter between, to take one example, Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l and Rav Ovadiah Yosef zt”l.
So I hope that we will all learn a bit from these classes and come way from them with a clearer understanding of why we do what we do.

Hello Everyone
Last week we began the subject of reheating food on Shabbat. We studied the relatively simple question of reheating dry food. Today we will study the more complex question of reheating foods which contain liquid, such as stews and cholent.

Today will be our final class on the subject of reheating food on Shabbat. We will discuss the problem of ketchup. That’s right- the problem of ketchup ( and croutons too).
