Keeping Kosher: The Most Important Mitzvah in the Torah?

The measure of khakhma in a classic measure of khakhma. This is in parshas Va'etchanan. Perek vov, posuk aleph. It's actually a sugya that we're going to be learning together very, very shortly. And that is You come to Eretz Yisrael and you're going to see all these amazing things. And you're going to see houses that are going to be filled with all the goodies. But you didn't fill up all these good things. You walked in, you found stuffed pantries. >> [laughter] >> Eat, feast, do what you want. Be very careful. You have to be very, very careful not to forget Hashem. Interesting. The posuk says you're going to come to Eretz Yisrael. You're going to see You're going to see Eat. Do whatever you want. There's a special shmira the Torah says you better have. Make sure you don't forget Hashem. It's a very, very short piece. It's a very, very short piece. He says Again, it's coming up next week. That when the Yidden went to Eretz Yisrael they They were allowed to eat even pork chops. They could eat whatever it was they wanted. Cuz the posuk says you're going to come into the land. You're going to see them laying cold turf. All you're going to see is kosher food. You're going to see a kosher food. The Torah says It's a very, very short piece. Even though the Torah was matter and the Torah But we know it is eros for the life and for the nefesh. And it can cause a seal If that's the case But buyer beware. he You better be extra careful because the minute you take this food and you put it inside of you, you have to realize you have to acknowledge you're taking something into your goof that has the ability to be the shina from I'm doing it better. I don't care that you're doing it better. That's not the point. There's a There's a ruchni just like there's a gashmi in the world. There's a in the world. And that's why the Torah says that in this situation you better be careful. We spoke about this many times over the years. And we've always had a good time in the punchline. He feels like Everybody knows that the rush and the end of brings a whole nice thing with the Rothenberg. We know if there's a she has a kind of and you have to violate an you always try to violate the the smallest of the and that you have to violate. And the debate what would be if there was a kind of kind of thing. He needs meat. That's what the doctors prescribed. There's two options. One option is you have non-kosher meat. You can feed him the non-kosher meat. Another option is you can go ahead, you can check the animal. And make kosher meat. Of course the animal problem is you're not allowed to on What should you do? Should you give him non-kosher meat or should you do with And this was a a great debate. We always speak English said this is one of the if not exhibit A for the great versus quantity versus quality. Because if you do it's one shot. If you're going to eat every is an Now it's also it's a lot of money as opposed to as opposed to just an ordinary So commas versus the this kid understand why does the that said better be because shabbos. know why it's better be me how shabbos? Because we thought the is the shabbos. That thing that you have in every single vero, it could be me. It could be in a very better. That's the color color of being the thing that every has. And that is a very important thing that over there my sister is the giver of the whole world. That's the most and it's me that you can't treat it as the color color. In the state of being, that's where it is. I saw the on this tomorrow right here. Right here. Who is in tough sign the native is after he said that he believes in this sheet of a taste >> [laughter] >> of a harsh to mention he comes on to my house as soon as it's based on the human body test. He says they have a full of sheet of a rush to make this human. These are two great little fish going in that we have into the same stuff. That one and that rush and that human is based on this human and that human the measure of the human in the past kind of paragraph and then it's give right here my right side. We mentioned the measure of human. There's an awesome mayor in the whole of the matter of the pair of the whole of the sign. He brings that you know there's a big chance regarding the whole of the matter. If you have the whole of the matter you cannot be more than you can be the whole of the matter is from a past and that is a harsh why do we need a past to tell me they can be the whole of the matter right now from the past. Why do we need a past to tell me you can be the whole of the matter right now from the past. They can be the whole of the matter and the harsh you do it says no this is the whole of the matter. This is the whole of the matter. When is something the whole of the matter? When is something the whole of matter? But here's a matter of the whole of the matter that I don't think we ever spoke out. We may assume the whole of the matter. And this is the whole of the matter of the pair of the whole of the sign. He says he may assume the whole of the matter. I guess I still alive. The lady don't assume the whole of the matter in the whole of the matter of the whole of the matter. The whole of the matter I hold not the way I am some of the ones are unbelievable. Everyone can make some an incredible classic observation. >> [snorts] >> He says I went through all the Sugyas in Shas. You know I never found a Sugya where there's a when it comes to I never found such a Sugya. I never found such a Sugya. So I believe that when it comes to eating a there's no such thing as question is why and he goes and he says a pill pool could argue about then he says that even though I never found a that talks about it there's a it's actually pretty famous we all know this in our cases brings this that says that when came to all that first year they had a problem to eat matzah cuz it was thank you me I say and he gives an answer. So it doesn't sit with my but if you go through that that the Torah that I'm saying is only true in it's not true in the as and the sheet was able to ask the question that's why the never spoke about [laughter] this because that's only true in it's not true in but I was thinking maybe I'll pay this rate why would there be no when it comes to this is like that classic this is a the which is I say the love of the but there's a deal when it comes to but this is and here you see it you see it clearly you see it from that rush the way that of the rush that that thing that that that component of the that's a it's not but so let me just like when I say when it's a car it's a over there you don't find music like that. You don't find such a thing. So too when it comes to this Indian, it could be out that's faded then it would be different. Just want to end with one hora. It's like a little bit of Mustafina or maybe even the Derek Zaha's. I know that's an oxymoron. It can't be both, right? But >> [laughter] >> either we're afraid or we're it's Peter. Not sure, but either way just one hora. You know, we made a very big deal in today's daf and it was done on purpose. It was calculated. Made a big deal. Who was the one that said hashta the Hamdisha Sadikim in the Kodesh Baruch Hu may be the Kol Yakov and Sadikim Kolshkin. Reb Zeira said it. Fact, Reb Zeira said it three times. The Yerushalmi in Masechtas D'mai. It's Perek Aleph Halacha Gimel. You ready for this? Reb Yirmiyah Shalach le Reb Zeira. Reb Zeira in Yerushalmi is Reb Zeira in Bavli. So Reb Yirmiyah sends to Reb Zeira Masana the Teinim. He sent him a basket of Teinim. The Lo Mesakna, but he had not been Mafresh Ma'aser from the Teinim. Now Reb Yirmiyah Sal le Meimar. Now Reb Yirmiyah knew you're not really supposed to send somebody food that you didn't give Ma'aser from, but he thought in his head my Reb Zeira Meichel le Mesakna. Why do I have to be worried about Reb Zeira? Now Reb Zeira gets this gift. Now Reb Zeira Sal le Meimar. Reb Meimar Reb Zeira said to himself Ma, how should Reb Yirmiyah Meshalach le Meila le Mesakna? Is it possible Reb Yirmiyah would have sent it to me without giving Ma'aser? Bein Dein le Dein. This is quote Yerushalmi. Dramatic story. As well everyone's having all their Machshavot it's Achil Tefel. Reb Zeira ate the Tefel. The Machar come you with the next day. Reb Zeira meets Reb Yirmiyah. Amalei. Reb Zeira tells Reb Yirmiyah, by the way Hachimu Santa the Shalachas le Esmo Mesakna Savis? Did you give Ma'aser from it? Amalei says no. He said as a matter of fact Amris I said to myself Ma Reb Zeira Meichel le Meila le Mesakna? Why would I have to? Amalei. So Reb Zeira said Oy Vei. Auf ano Amris I made the same Cheshbon. I said why Reb Yirmiyah Meshalach le Meila le Mesakna? So said the Gemara. At that moment Reb Abba Bar Zimina said Reb Zeira. Reb Abba Bar Zimina said in the name of Reb Zeira inhabit You know what I see from here said, that if there is like people and if we're if they were people and this by the way is a badly that last line and we should have come along more I don't make that was familiar with and it took you know who said it over there and said it over there. It's over the all the but it's even more right here in the I don't know what to do with this is the one that says there's no there's no mayor and he himself was a victim to such a thing. Which came first, which came after? I don't know what came after it.
