Avoid Forbidden Foods | Pele Yoetz | Hachzek Day 109
Oh Rayver, here we are, day 109, Palayo. It's today is Friday, and we are beginning a new t section, a new topic, the laws of Trefus Tarif. Here we go. Kamiga Dalum Dine Trefus. There are many significant laws that rel as it relates to you know what renders an animal forbidden for to consume. Ashraish, Yaris Hashem, Shuchalizar Slow, Mi Behemash, Hairabachem Shi Trefa. Praiseworthy is the man who fears Hashem, and he's vigilant not to partake in any of the animals which the Halachic authorities deem it as a trefa. There's a reason to be wary, even if the vast majority of the authorities do permit it. You put a knife to what you swallow if you care for your soul. There's a strong case to say that this is of the utmost importance. A person has to be careful for any chance that it would be forbidden to conduct himself with the khumras, with the stringencies when it comes to these matters concerning eating and drinking, as it says, all man's toils is for his mouth. If a person chances upon Isr, Nimta, Goth Godel, B Isr, Mishavisur. What emerges is that his body has actually been strengthened through ingesti it through eating, right? Ingesting this forbidden food. And therefore he himself has become a shtick, Isr. He's become a forbidden entity. When he has this traitha, it's now part of him. There's no pathway now for the spirit of holiness to reach him because there's a blockage of impurity because of this, he will progress from one evil to the next. He asked the Rebbe to teach the him, meaning the Shl, the proper path to take in life, how he can merit a life of Al Mhaba, the Ammaroshi, Zar Bishlesh Daram. His Rabbi, the Rebbe of the Shlah, told him, Be vigilant in three things. What are they? Shiskadish male bishashushavarbahshare. A person during marital relations should conduct himself with extreme holiness and purity, pure intentions, kadeshaloye, you soda vol rua vanimneb iser chashal. So that way he should ensure that the foundation of the child who's conceived at the time, he won't be weakened. Because if not, uh then God forbid it can lead to a child's um growth being hampered. Okay. The cavit shayizar ma oid b israhila. Number two. Okay, so the first thing is being um being careful in the laws of marital intimacy. The second thing, the o'id b israhilah. A person has to be vigilant in avoiding eating that which is asir kadeshlay. Goth nibnabisr, so that way his body will not be built up um through forbidden things like we had just mentioned. The third thing is he should distance himself from even even a hundred gates of things that are permitted to ensure he's not going to enter one that is forbidden. Right, it was said who's considered a tamchachim, some sees a trefa for himself, meaning watch afa pishu, make a lacherim, even though he's makel, when it comes to others, he's more machmir for himself. Yahmir Atmo, Deus, he holds himself to a higher standard. It's certainly very hard to find an animal that's completely unfree of any issue whatsoever that's going to be permitted according to every single opinion in the books, right? Umikholam al Mishma's end. So who can really who's gonna be able to handle this? For this reason, I'm pleased with what I've um seen to be practice of certain devout people, Sharisa Shlai, Oichin Kiam Bisarof, right? What do these devout people do? They only eat poultry, they only eat chicken, they avoid eating meat altogether. It's difficult though, right? It w how is he gonna do it? He's not gonna be able to dine in the house of others, he's gonna right, because he does know their their standards, which we've mentioned in the previous year. Asha Eno Shias, prayers were praiseworthy of somebody who does this, the Yzarbachol Tinod Israel Hido Shusia, because he's gonna be vigilant from partaking in any forbidden food or drink, and he will remar he will merit aid from Hashem. The m the primary responsibility for this directive, ensuring the people don't eat trefa forbidden food, it rests upon who the Shaykhtim, the people who are actually doing the ritual slaughtering of the animals and of the chickens, via Al-Hamayrim, as well as on the Allahic authorities, they know how to rule. Ya Chizimara Bivalm Liv Dag Mishum Isar Trefa, they have to be gripped with trembling when they come forth to inspect any of these animals for defects, um, right before they forbid the animals of trefa. They have to be trained in all details of inspecting the lungs of the Shachid animal, they have to be well versed in all of the reven the relevant halakhos, um, as well as the reasonings. We have khadu, ma'viuro meha meha kel, they have to proceed with trepidation and they have to talk and they have to have fear of Hashem, um, making sure that they inspect all the animals properly and thoroughly, so, so that way they don't cause the Jewish people to consume traif food. In a situation of doubt, if someone's not sure about the cash of a particular animal, then um he should rule stringently. With a prophet Mammon guy, Lohivaku la koicha de terror sp specifically when the question involves money of an idolater, um then they don't need to seek out all the possibilities to make it. Motor Zoe Darhisha, this is the upright path to path to take. Okay, um, wishing you a fantastic Shabbos, Shabbos Shuba, and Richard Shem will see you on Sunday.
