Halacha Series part#6 Home2Torah with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] okay welcome everybody to the next part of the luffa series the shorten our series and if I'm not mistaken we are now on number 7 that would be Zion so it starts off like this quick yeah how may till my young men hats a theme the lifting this is similar to the idea that we spoke about last week in fact I think we might have actually spoken about it but the idea is that when you're in usual I mean you're within the close proximity of the Temple Mount where the temple should be the presence is still there so one should not urinate facing facing the Temple Mount okay so now if you're beyond you know you cannot see it you're in a distance where you cannot see it you're on the outskirts of town so to speak so then it's not really a problem I'll just read again in Hebrew parish what does it mean Malcolm XI upholding Lee Royce and Shankara bias the place you're able to see physically see the Temple Mount well me Shambo Allah and you hugging me rice but from that point one word wherever it is you cannot see it should be a problem well yeah shame pun off Cowpen kodesh and when it comes to what's the word so we spoke about urinating but there's a quote number two right so okay here here it says if you actually should sit when you urinate and turn your head face away you shouldn't be facing the the holy voice but nevertheless keep in mind that we have bathrooms that have walls from calling us consult and once you have that it's not a problem but if you were a builder for example they built our yeshiva in the old city and they made sure that the bathrooms themselves we're not actually facing the direction of horeb ayats so they were north and south not east and west so that so if you were building you building your own home so maybe outright you would want to do it but you don't have to uproot all your pipes and everything once you have the walls it's really not an issue okay number eight number eight so let's say you were outside in the field sometimes people are field workers right they're picking vegetables or whatnot or they're just gonna hide so the same idea here is em who after a hug get there if there actually is some kind of I would call a tree a big rock some kind of a wall so I'm kind of a barrier so that's where one should should go to the bathroom and be upon Amita but what about like a valley a valley where there's not a lot of structures it's like people can see from a higher stored standpoint right you'll see your valley you can see people down in the valley means you got at least see them so you should distance yourself he's Hank I'm uh functional you also have air leros okay rule you should go to a distance where people cannot see your nakedness okay number nine look yeah shape did Mahara uber cozec when you're doing it number two you shouldn't attempt to free yourself timewise and push or force yourself in in a strong sense below ya anos lid cuff absolutely ultimate I shouldn't push yourself and first off more than is necessary so you not take Shanae hacker Kosta so you don't get hemorrhoids you don't get you know ruin your body yeah you have to keep your body healthy first of all what you eat is going to determine also whether or not you get sick stomach pains diarrhea and why not so that's also very important thing to have a healthy diet so that you don't have to see not constipated on one hand or getting social social means a diarrhea on the other hand okay number 10 sounds very strange now we already discussed this idea where we put order to fill in would shoot upon first so he says here look you cannot be odd you mean you're not supposed to wipe yourself and I'm supposed to use your right hand to like yourself now many discuss this idea was all before we had toilet paper say we have toilet paper so many say it's not it's not really a problem but consciously the idea of the right hand okay I'm left-handed so if I was a right-handed person right I would be putting my to fill it on that we can which is my left hand but I'm doing the Mitzvah with my right hand so since I'm doing the Miss with my right hand I like that when I teach Torah I point with my finger it's my right hand and I do a lot of things when I when someone else is reading from the Torah there's a truck there's a sing-song there's a certain code of went to raise your voice when to stop cadence the cantillation dance and we use the right hand to make those markings so you're using the right hand all the time with Torah so you shouldn't use that hand to do something like this okay but since we're throwing paper some say it's really not a problem okay but okay then also the middle finger of your other hands because when I put on my time then I'm left to since everything's opposite but I would put my phone on my left arm right you guys put your left arm and around the middle finger is where the straps go because we talked about we're marrying God like a ring finger on a bride and we speak about our engagement or our marriage and our love and it's a relationship with God as we the strap around that little finger which is okay it's not exactly the where people put their wedding rings but that's where we put on Henry with God and we use the strap in that sense so it's the right hand the entire right hand and the middle finger on the left hand for me it's the complete opposite okay just so we're not confused I would like to read the mission of Brewer on that and it's down below I don't some of you have the Huber thing so he says beyond a mean bit initially Shabat feeling odds are AA house Molly why the right hand because it's the right hand you used the time it's filling on your left arm and he says see other reasons that are brought down in the Gemara and he then he says tollis I hear me like an alphabet X bar I am so he should correct all of her roots or the best thing is to be careful from using that middle finger from wiping yourself because you use it you wind these the tefillin straps around it and he says the left / left handed person does the opposite god it's called an eager yard and eat your yard I like to say get it it's obviously higher neck but anyway the eat your yard the left-handed person should coal in your love oh you silly small he does everything the other in the opposite direction he's makan after the small d-day Cherie I mean she'll cold on his left hand is the left hand of everyone else which means it's his right hand okay and how do we determine what hand you are in other words it's not just this it's when you walk in the - fela okay we walk it are you left-handed right-handed or your left footed or right footed when you're playing guard in soccer that's called football for non-americans when you're playing soccer are you lefty or righty so this is going to determine when you walk forward into your prayers you're using your strong even though we do talk about the psyche of the right is mercy and the left is judgment you've heard this up probably a million times not just for me but for anything else you've been listening to there is this idea but sometimes it's usurped by what is stronger sometimes it's what's stronger and sometimes we're relying on the mercy judgment aspect so when we walk into the prayer so you have the right foot moving forward when you're walking out of the prayer it's the left flip the moves backward at first okay so there's a lot of things we're going to learn along the way and it's epi hahaha every detail I promise you is to bring God consciousness into your life it's not a ritual that is okay it's just so dry and meaningless and robotic but it's even when you're in the bathroom if there's this room where there nobody else is accepting you and God and you're thinking about what's holy and what's not holy even though we're not supposed to really well pray with all due Torah in the bathroom but all of our actions are modest and full of god-consciousness okay any questions at this point I was wondering whether or not to skip number 11 because it's not really relevant to all today cuz we do have what is was we've used toilet paper okay but there is something interesting at the very end when it's discussing what could be used to clean yourself it says we follow the note we follow the saying go out and see what the public practices is a very awkward statement to bring right here because as we already said there's a very private experience and it could be quite embarrassing why would something go and check out what everyone's doing doesn't literally mean to actually see with your own eyes it could be to interview people could mean because the truth is the truth and we want to know it and the most private of practices if you want to know the truth so you know you have to ask the right questions to the right people you know s go out and find out what is the practice okay let's go to number 12 he says yep on net myths mutable island come over y'all you're in the dark room or it's night there's not a lot of people around maybe you have an outhouse and you think you have total privacy because it's at night don't assume anything never assume first of all you should be to Noah you should have a modest or around you at all times and not but will they call like let everything hang out with it I don't know okay number 13 you did give up I did I skip something oh you do look Josh teen mom odd it makes me cheap salts honey tongue zine okay this is a very out of love this is a very interesting concept you see a hwacha that's so strange right make sure when you go to the bathroom you're not you're not really standing member this it's all limit don't stand but men end up standing in most cases we already said when you sit down you may have the feeling of needing to go to the bathroom it's best it's best to sit down obviously men cannot do that at all times timewise whatever anyway but what happens is if you your name in a very high place you're at off of a cliff you know your name off a cliff or on to ground that will absorb the urine that's not going to be a problem as you can see the rest of the air but what happens when you your your native on a stone and it's splattering on your shoes or you're standing up and the urinal if you're not close enough you will make a mess but the this is unbelievable I mean you gotta hold on to your seats we'd hear this that if you urinate on your shoes and other people see the urine spots on your shoes they're gonna think that your kids are moms Aaron okay that's a good word a moms ER is a child not just born out of wedlock but born out of a forbidden relationship or meaning really I should say real simply that your kids are not your kids your wife was with another man how could that be how can that be if they see the urine under your shoes they know your kids are bastards that your kids about your kids so we have to be careful and sadistic wet in a second we have to be careful even about when we urine and where the drops end up hey guy because those drops could end up on our shoes and some with because what happens is this and I think they've proven it somewhat in science but basically if you don't shoot like an arrow we're talking about during sex during making lovemaking if you're if you if you're at home on the top of the member is not straight maybe it's off to the side or you're not able to the strength the strength of the stream of salmon is not that strong to shoot like an hour straight in so then straight up to where it needs to go so then you are probably someone who cannot have children and if you have children so then you have this urine on your shoes people think well he's he's he's incapable he's fertile infertile infertile right and you're pompton impotent impotent and yet he's got kids so it must be that his wife was with someone else now this sounds like the most craziest thing to be concerned about I trust me you ain't seen nothing yet okay that were so concerned about people speaking lush and Jara about our own children of course that's our own children at us that arrives and it will make sure that when it comes to time to go to bed when you walk out go straight to the the shoe shine back you know you walk out of a nice bathroom in the hotel they got some kind of you put a quarter in there's a shoeshine you know what every anyway you might have to use extra toilet paper and clean yourself but it sounds crazy okay but this is what we're concerned about and we're just read it in the Hebrew so you see at the bottom it says you'd get woke up c'mon I rock love the younger shuka root shift calm that he's not capable having children she ain't Maine Maine rug love McHale Candela shuttle teen then even his urine cannot shoot out like a shower but it's just drip drip drip cover shift to Anam ugly because someone who is that of this type of character category can I have children you know were humble of shame shallow they're gonna set got his own kids they're gonna say about his kids they don't walked in oh okay Baruch Hashem okay the next one is 14 so use I Ursula echoes the Brahma Leigh Ostin when a man goes to the bathroom he should be very careful where he holds his member so it's only on the very upper top and this is when if he is not married so okay guys still there some texted me if he's married were less concerned where he holds his member all this makes sense so we have to teach our children our boys have to go to the bathroom and that it's forbidden to masturbate and why the nation like to shift gods at a little table because that means seat goes out for nothing seed is to bring life into the world and if we are not careful we may rouse ourselves and get carried away okay so but he does say all this l-leave cain who destroyed unless he's married because he's married we have a concept call that his bread is in his basket which means he's satisfied the new developments you can use your imagination and he's not hungry Amina's casitas Lee he's a hare I feel understood but the truth is someone wants to be pious even if they are married they shouldn't touch their member even there then number 15 a feeling me Shannon is suing you Julius I am abate seem that even someone who is as it means mission in innocence someone who's not married is still permitted to touch me call the testicles the bag of eggs underneath and fall right so we call it hasn't translated testes okay [Applause] and now there's another idea brought down but he doesn't say Oh number 16 low who turned the new sweet apples Bahama la la Hache teen and they hit the a claw again it's the same idea here he says even a married man is only permitted to hold his member while urinating but it's certainly not permitted to rub it I tell you we're on camera it's okay I will tell you there are a lot of laws and intimacy is supposed to be extremely enjoyable and we'll have to do another class on that there's a lot of foreplay that is permissible and I'll leave it at that for now okay if somebody if a man holds in his urine it could actually make him impotent so that's why it's actually permissible for a man in the middle of the screen I'm sure you've seen it by driving down the highway you know so you should be modest you leave the door open on the not on the street side now on the highway side we'll find this trip by the tree but it's very let's learn tsukada it's a dangerous for a man to hold in his urine it can make him impotent which is a sin to make it's a sin to make yourself impotent I know there's a very popular thing nowadays I think it's for that sect amis and different types of things like that maybe even maybe there's pills for I don't know but anyway it's it's problematic when it comes to holding in number two so that's for about two shots you know don't make yourself disgusting you're not allowed to make yourself disgusting and by holding this in is is violation of one of the 613 commandments I'll give you an example you're not know how to make yourself disgusting you can't be disgusting to others also about the shot so for example you're not supposed to pick your nose in public I know what happens a lot when you come to red light and you see people that's the best time I think that people find but they're alone unless you're unless you have tinted windows no seriously it's like there's anything that you do that could gross somebody else out you're violating one of the 613 commandments about to shop - you shall not become disgusting you'll be disgusting or disgusting okay so that ends today's fabulou luffa series and we'll continue next week [Music]
