The story · English

Rabbi Benjamin Hotza, a prominent halachic authority, presents a daily brief halacha segment called "Halacha in 60 Seconds" on the Kikar HaShabbat platform. In this episode, he addresses a common question during the Bein Hazmanim (interim vacation period in the Jewish calendar): whether it is permissible to use a grill provided at a rented cabin (tzimer).

Rabbi Hotza succinctly outlines the relevant Jewish legal considerations regarding the use of such a grill during this time, clarifying the boundaries of permitted and forbidden activities. The segment is designed to provide clear guidance on practical halachic issues faced by observant Jews during vacation periods.

The video segment is part of a series that condenses complex halachic rulings and customs into accessible daily lessons. This particular episode was published alongside other religious content, including a report on Rabbi Avraham Tofik visiting the tomb of the prophet Samuel. The video and explanation aim to help viewers understand the nuances of Jewish law in everyday situations, especially during Bein Hazmanim when many travel to cabins or vacation homes.
