Episode Notes

It was a slow news week this week and so I took one new question and one old question and answered those for what is a slightly shorter show.

Question 1

I listened to the Passover episode again, you talked at the end about selling the leaven using the rabbi as an agent and then leaving it in a locked cabinet. Do you buy it back at the end of Passover? Is there a non-Jew that the Rabbi then sells it to, knowing that this leaven is just temporarily theirs? Or are you just in ignorance about whether the leaven has been sold... since the Rabbi is your agent, and it might not have actually been sold?

Question 2

What is the difference between Hasidic and the "ultra-orthodox" (Haredi?) groups? How does Chabad fit in with this? I ask because in the show one of the character's daughter moves away and marries someone who is a "Chabadnik" and the whole group is treated by this character with some derision.
