Parshas Shemini: Meet Satincus Marinus....Your Favorite Poisonous Fish

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com welcome everyone to a new season of agar de Perka here in cucarinellas New York why is it a new season I don't know it's after Purim between Purim and pesach the new season so umini actually parashmini is usually the week after pesach and if it wouldn't have been in every yard now would be uh the week after now would be Calamine actually okay we're going to talk about fish I thought that uh most people wanted to hear about fish today so I chose to speak about fish um from whatever's in the water Carl asked Charlotte anything that has fins and scales in the Water by yamim in the seas in the rivers they you could eat interesting how do you remember that Snapper's fins and cascasus scales very easily the word snap error is fins just backward and cascasus is basically scales you know so that's how you remember so anything that has fins and scales in the water you could eat anything that doesn't have fins and scales in the seasamaim from anything that Creeps in the water when we call never mind so the first thing we have to realize is it's very redundant here because in public tests in the first possuk it says anything that has fins and scales you could eat we know on our own if it doesn't have fins and scales you can eat it so why does the plastic have to repeat if it doesn't have fins and scales you cannot eat it that's the first question it's redundant it's repetitious it's verbose it's extra basically we don't need it then we have a mission base cos she usually cascasus anything that has skills yes like Snot bear has fins the achie Ageless not beer there are there are Ida there are animals that have fins vein like cascasus and doesn't have scales meaning even though the Torah says it has symptoms and scales and you would think these are two separate criteria comes the mission on the mission that says any fish that has scales automatically has fins so what do you call this the mission is going out on a lot on a limb for absolutely no reason the mission of sticking its neck out because there are a lot of fish out there and uh and and what's even more interesting is you know how many species of fish have been discovered since the time the mission was written tens of thousands not a fish of species of fish have been discovered and yet the mishnu goes out on a limb the mission sticks its neck out and says any fish that has scales has fins so the question why in the world with a mission to do that that means if we were to find the fish that has scales and doesn't have fins the we've debunked The credibility of the mishnah the mishna the mission has said anything that escrows automatically has fins so if any any of you guys go scuba diving and you come up with a fish that has scales and doesn't have fins we've uh challenged The credibility and authenticity of the Misha that's question number one why would the mishna go out on a limb for what purpose question number two is if in fact every fish that has scales has fins then why in the world were the Torah right any fish that has scales and fins you're allowed to eat just right any fish that has scales you're allowed to eat and we know automatically it's gonna have fins so why would the Torah have to say it has to have fins and scales just say it has to have scales and then you'd automatically be allowed to eat it and that is the question on the gemara is as well as the gemara asks us let the Toya ride scales voy boy snap air and I wouldn't need fins you hear the Kasha if anything that has scales automatically has fins let the Torah just right if a fish has scales you can eat it and any fish that has skills will automatically have fins says the gamara it's a good Kasha Amar raviavois said and it was likewise to in the Academy of review smile toy review let the Torah be great and glorious let the Torah be great and glorious by the way does anybody know how many times in chass does the gemara answer why do I need to say and the answer is really it doesn't need to say we just want to make the Torah bigger zero this is the only time in chess where the gemara gives an answer let's make the Torah bigger and more glorious because after all this would solve basically every single question you could ever ask why the Toyota write this why because it wasn't big enough and you know in the stone hummus they only have 299 pages so to get the 300th page which you're paying for anyway so to get your money's worth we made we wrote an extra public to make the Torah bigger what kind of answer is this to make the Torah greater and more glorious you hear the Kasha the Kasha is if there's an established rule then everything has scales automatically has fins so why wouldn't the torch us ride any fish that has scales you could eat and we would know on its own that it has fins the answer is to make the toyra bigger we need to make the tour bigger isn't there a principle that every word in the Torah is accounted for and it's specific and it's exact and there's not an extra word or an extra letter or an extra cool and extra Crown what does it mean let's make the Torah greater and more glorious there's something fishy and rotten all right as they say fine we're not no we're not finished how do you know we're not finished with this year no so comes the toy system Lipman Heller who was born in wallerstein in Germany in 1579 and it was nifter and Krakow in Poland 1654 and he wrote a parish on the rush originally called madane melach and later called madani yamdev where he tells us a little story a story on this gamara says when I was the head of the best den and the head of the Shiva in Vienna a wise man brought to me Moreno rabbin roofey Doug he brought me a fish ing which in their language probably in Latin it's called satinkos marinas the nice way of pronouncing it that's the name of the fish and if you want to know where to find it it's found in the Spanish sea Mediterranean of us it's a poisonous fish you take a bite out of the fish you drop dead man or the pharmacists know how to take out poisoned from it that's what medicine is medicine is poison you get so sick from the medicine you forget about the first silkness and by the time seven days are over you're healed right that's anyway that was not uh necessarily um represented the views of the agar de percoc okay and you make out of the Flesh of the fish different types of medication right why because it's poison it kills you it has a spine has a wide head as you can imagine a very good looking fish the game yesterday it has scales over its whole body they ain't lie some snappier it doesn't have one fin it has skills and it doesn't have fins it has four legs so the problem is the gemara needs established based on the mission of the mission it says any fish that has scales has fins and here we have a satinkos marinus that has scales all over its body and now one fin to its name what's going on valence rakishabra Glam karate and I was asked for Byron I really are its feet fins or our feet not Finns if you're going to say the feet are thin so then it's a Kosher fish because it has fins it has scales and has fins so it's caution people are going to eat it and they're gonna drop dead because it's poisonous and how could you say that this is a Kosher fish you think the Torah would give a poisonous fish as a as a Kosher fish you can't say the Torah would say that a poisonous fish is kosher we have there's a principle you can't say the Torah gives us a rule that's going to lead us to um to death that's like putting um a hexer but that's hexagon Mr Clean imagine if they sold in uh in uh Seasons Mr Clean with but that's OU so people are gonna buy it they're gonna buy Peach Snapple they're gonna buy Turkey Hill strawberry kiwi and they can buy Mr cleaning and eating can't put a extra on uh on poison so if this is Akash of fish people are gonna drop that we know the the gemara says what's wrong it meets all the requirements no because it's spiky and if you hold it you're gonna get um thorns in your hands and it can't be kosher so certainly if a lulav is not Kosher because it's going to scratch your hands certainly poison cannot be kosher LMI the legs are not fins so then this is against the rule of the mishna and Nida that any fish that has scales has fins and I was bewildered I was flapper flabbergasted because there's no way these feet are fins so they're not fins the mishna says that any fish that has scales has fins and here lo and behold we have a fish that has scales and not fins in the restaurant they have a satinkus marinas on the menu no so it's not even a They don't serve it because it's poison Japanese there's a Japanese kosher restaurant the Japanese fish which is known to be extremely poisonous in North Korea they service you know they know how to extract the poison okay there you go in North Korea they don't like you they serve you the satinkus marinas okay but that's the Kasha the mishna says Rabbi Sai that any fish that has scales has fins to the point where the gamar asks so just say that a fish needs scales and you don't need to say fins and the gamara gives this inexplicable answer to make the Torah bigger but we have a fish that has scales and doesn't have fins so we're going to digress for a short while and we're going to discuss a very interesting topic in hashkafa and that is the scientific information that is found in the gemara are we obligated to believe that when the gemara gives us scientific information it's accurate it's true it was it was given on harsinai from God to my charbainu or perhaps one could suggest that obviously all the Mitzvahs were given to my chabino and harcina and God communicated to my Shabana exactly how each and every myth was supposed to be performed but if the gemara tells us let's say the day that the gender is determined or if let's see the gamara tells us that the time it takes for a baby to develop or if the gemara tells us about the orbit of the moon or the gemara tells us about other natural and scientific phenomenon the gamar is not conveying to us what Hashem gave over to cloudy strong perhaps all the gemara is doing is conveying the scientific information that they knew at that time based on their research and if today we find more accurate research or more more correct research we're not obligated to believe that the gumar is telling us is accurately was giving us the best information they had available to them in other words the question is certainly we believe that well the entire Corpus of material in the gemara that's relevant to the observance of Mitzvahs is but what about the scientific information was that also the word of God or was that just based on prevalent scientific research and knowledge and this is a major topic and a very controversial topic and a very contemporary topic so let's just um because it's relevant to what we're discussing obviously though if the mishna is giving me a rule the mission of saying because the mission is telling me what you're allowed to eat and the mission is saying whatever has scales has fins so it's going to be problematic if you find a fish that has scales and doesn't have fins but what oh so sir there is a rule for example that the medicines that are found in the gemara right the gemara says if you have a headache so you boil up a rat's tail and you take a witch and you you know you make a whole concoction and uh you drink it and we don't do that anymore we're not right we don't follow any of the advice and the seventh parking because we say the rule Nature has changed that means human nature has changed but that's that that that doesn't mean that the information that's found in the gemara was given me Sinai that information may have been absolutely accurate then subsequently the nature of a person may have changed or do we say even the information found in the gemara was not from my shopping maybe it's just based on prevalent um research uh yeah definitely of course if somebody if somebody is makrish even one is the kaifer and he's not because the question is now we're not talking about the Torah we're talking let's say the gender is determined on this and this day and we look in the sonogram and we see it's not determined on that day are we obligated to say well it says it in the gemara and therefore the gemara is right and science is wrong or could we say the gemara wasn't saying a traditional had from God when the gemara gives scientific information maybe it was based on the science of the times the best Jewish Greek and Roman scientists of the times and now we see that they didn't have the correct information never changes the rules of never change the question is what about the scientific information conveyed in the gemara is that part of Toyo me Sinai or is that just information that they had based on the research of the time maybe that's not part of the tradition of Tyra that we obligated to believe that the information found in the gemara is based on the tradition of Tyra has to do with the interpretation well that's the question is did Hashem tell him all the scientific information and Moshe gave it over to kaisan it's Incorporated the gemara or no when the gemara gives scientific information then amarama are just telling you what the scientists of the times thought and now they think differently that's a simple question so the answer is this is not a unanimously helped view there's there's not one opinion about this there's a very fundamental mahalakis about this I'll tell you the difference I'll tell you what is considered mainstream in normative and uh and uh I can't do anything more than that okay look at number six let's begin with What's called the son of the rambam this is brought in the hakdama of the iniakov foreign based on the following introduction we are not obligated to believe based on the greatness of the sages of the Tama now you have to understand the sages whose names appear in the talmud were of the most lofty powerful and incredible nature they had the capacity to revive the dead their their minds um probed all all recesses of of the universe nevertheless we are not obligated to believe just because of the greatness of just because of their perfection in explaining and conveying the Torah the Yoshi Moran the justness of their words the Beer Club that we have to accept everything they say when it comes to Medicine when it comes to Nature a different mathematics just because we are obligated to believe that precisely understood the exact way to fulfill all the midst of the Torah and if we deviate and we think we have a better way to put on fill in or a different way to wear it sits this or a more correct way to write a secretary or not because so even though we are obligated to believe that God had on every detail of interpretation of Torah Israel is like him and bye we are not obligated to believe that the science that the amariam give over to us is at is correct and authentic the opinion of rambam is the the information conveyed in the gemara when it comes to interpretation of Torah law is but we are not obligated just because the gemara tells us that this is the biology the chemistry of the way the world operates that we do not we're not required to accept that I'm sure that's included I mean uh if we're not obligated to believe in the medicinal practices in the talmud then certainly we wouldn't be obligated to follow the rambam's uh medical advice um he says so the opinion of rambam by the way and the opinion of and the opinion representation fallhurst is that there are two aspects of talmud there's the aspect of the traditions of halacha Gomorrah practice and that is absolutely musinai and that was given for my shabdino from God God gave to my shopping gave it to the Yeshua and to the tamidam and there's a tradition going back misinai to all the interpretation of Jewish law but when it comes to science when it comes to biology when it comes to the phenomenon of the universe the gemara was merely conveying the best information they had and if today using more more modern procedures we see that that's not how it works we are not obligated to accept what it says that is the opinion of umhurst but that is not unanimously held when it says in the mission of course does not hold anymore no I didn't say that I said when the mid when the gemara says that the scientific information about the way the um the moon orbits around the Sun about the way a baby develops about all the science and now if when it's not relevant to if it's relevant then uh we're not up again no this is relevant so this is halacha this is misinai there's no question there's me Sinai if I find a fish in the sea that's going to be a problem we're gonna have to deal with that we'll have to deal with that we'll have to deal with that we're gonna have to deal with that but when it comes to regular ordinary scientific information there is a many who maintain that the information in the gemara was just based on the prevalent information other times I'm reading to from the son of the realm but I will tell you not everybody agrees with that the Rivage the reverse says we will always rely on our sages smile even if they say the right is left because they received the truth is we don't accept this the wise men the scientists of the Greek world or the Ishmael they only speak based on Research based on logic based on the way things seem s or through some kind of experiment but without looking at all the variables the opinion of the revash is no matter what the time would say be it or be it scientific information we will always follow the Israel so the question is who do we passing like for them no no such thing doesn't change no the question is when the rabbis in the god you're learning talks about the Sun the moon biology chemistry are they saying what scientists of their times thought or they're saying no we have a tradition going back to my shopping who was told by God this is how it works how do you understand the gemara it's a major Mac like us it's a major Mac like us again we have a problem they say the gemara is merely telling you prevalent scientific knowledge on the other hand Rivas says no the revar says it's um we are required to believe the sages of the tamad so what is considered normative mainstream view when it comes to information given in the Thomas so I'll share with you something very interesting there is a safer nishma sabram written by Dr Abraham Abraham who's a well-known doctor and expert in medical ethics the article translated into a number of volumes and uh he was very close with and he discusses whether the gemara must have to get in in the seventh parag gives a number of medications and medicinal practices that seem to be very Antiquated and very outdated and none of them are in use and the question is why don't we follow the medical advice of the gemara and a number of reasons are offered number one it used to be drinking a liquid that that a rat tail boiled in it used to be helpful nowadays you're gonna die if you drink that so people's nature changed the same way right it used to be you you had a you couldn't eat fish and then eat meat right now you could do it now you could do it there's no problem eating fish and then eating meat you just have to do a few small things and even them um you know it's not as required as it once was so there's a concept number one number two there's a hey Ram from the reshinem that we don't rely on the medicinal advice of the gemara and then it's brought in the factor and and third of all we don't even know the herbs mentioned in the gemara when the gemara says use this herb and this this uh plant we don't know what plant the gemara is talking about so therefore we don't use location and besides that someone in a say you could combine and be midstarif the opinion of Sri Ragan and the opinion of rambam and the opinion of hers that what that the sages of the talmud were not giving scientific information based on a tradition from Sinai they're male merely giving over the prevalent attitudes of science other times heard that that opinion was being used as a serif of why we don't follow an medicinal advice and the gemara said don't refer to that opinion as a normative mainstream opinion it is a legitimate opinion it is an authentic opinion but it is not a normative opinion refer to it as yashim what does the asheimer mean an opinion that we don't really follow it's an opinion we don't really follow it's authentic it's an authentic traditional opinion but it is not normative opinion and those who present it as Norman of opinion are misguided it should not be presented as a normative opinion skin like that now what's the ramifications probably if you're Arabian Yeshiva and you're teaching tamidim you tell them the more traditional opinion that every single word in the gemara is the tradition that the hashas have going back to my shopping but for a more mature audience you should let them know there is another opinion and that's the opinion the opinion of verse that not everybody says that every single word in the gemara is a tradition from Sinai somehow you could there is a authentic Jewish tradition that the the scientific information presented in the gemara is only based on on the prevalent attitudes but that's not the Norman of opinion so a Jew who thinks no there's only one opinion everybody agrees that every word in the gemara is the tradition that's not correct there is another legitimate opinion but to say that I'm a rationalist and therefore I believe that the gemara is that's not really correct either because uh the more normative view if we shall say again I'm not telling you my opinion says the that that secondary opinion should be relegated as gay shimron so I hope you get the Nuance of that and the subtlety of that because if someone's almonds so that's where I come in to to bring present to you the viewer of some as uh as the normative approach I'm giving him the the status of being able to tell us what the normative of her life because he's one of the post-gatherer that was accepted by a very very large segment of Clans was when you have a place egg that's pretty much unanimously accepted so was um asked about you know many medical stylists and he was a very well respected Viewpoint across the Spectrum and he's saying this is the normal View and now I'm aware this is a very controversial topic that's what I'm talking about it okay um by the way there's another very clear that also presents that this view that we're calling the normative view is not only normative but is really required to believe and that is the view of the lashem the great the grandfather of rebellion one of the great all-time equivalam and he basically says that this Viewpoint that maybe when the gemara says information because there is information in the gamara the gemara seems to say that the sun revolves around the Earth so what are you going to say no we have to believe the sun revolves around earth we know that's not true so that leads some to believe that the gemara was just saying the prevalent attitudes of the time however the lessham says that this whole machelicus is uh is outdated is obsolete because you can only maintain that the gemara perhaps was saying the prevalent scientific informational times before the tradition of cabalo was really discovered but once we know that there was an ancient tradition of the secrets of the Torah then it is clear that every word of the gemara was a tradition they had from from Sinai and if it's if it doesn't mean um blatant scientific information that it then it must be some kind of um veiled reference to some type of kabbalistic tradition or secret if you look at number nine this is the lessons and Zion page 160 foreign to whoever is uh called the Jew anybody who wants to be labeled is to believe with complete faith is all the word of the Living Lord the all the word of the Living God whatever the khazal say be it in agada science was with the spirit of God um for example you know the gemara talks about lice How do they come allows on Shabbos why because they don't reproduce spontaneous uh reproduction spontaneous there's no such thing you look under a microscope and they reproduce the way every everything else in the world reproduces so it seems like the gemara is saying one thing based on what they used to think because they didn't have microscopes and nowadays we see that they don't spontaneously reproduce that's impossible no right that's where Christianity started well the there's no the spontaneous reproduction is called Christianity but the same way when you look under a microscope there's no spontaneous reproduction when you look at the world religions there's no spontaneous reproduction either is not a question the way halacha works is only what you could see with the naked eye if you can't see it with the naked eye it's not halachically recognized of course the gemara knew that the bacteria or Allies or Laos reproduces the way everything else reproduces but since it's not noticeable to the naked eye that's not regarded as reproduction so you could kill it on Shabbos because it doesn't reproduce to the naked eye that's all that's all the government means it's not that we have to blindly accept the information given a gemara over what we see with modern science it's just you have to understand there's a halachic principle if you can only see the reproduction under a microscope then that's not called reproduction that's why you know that's the Shyla is New York City water kosher or not but there are millions of copepeds right even um the media has dubbed New York City water shrimp juice it's called shrimp juice why because there's protein in the water say how's the protein and hydrogen and oxygen it's because your water ain't just hydrogen in oxygen your water is hundreds of copepeds so the question is that I can't see them and if you can't see them then they're not holocaately regarded the thing is though you could see them I could show you how to see them and even if you can see them you might be able to see that there's something there and once you see there's something there now we have to look at it under the the microscope now you don't even need a microscope you can use a magnifying glass and in other words most of them these copepods if you look carefully you'll see something and now that there's something now let's look at what the something is but if you couldn't see anything then there would be no Shadow you wouldn't have to filter your water okay coming back to your favorite fish the satinkas marinas which as we mentioned says presented him this fish that has scales and doesn't have fins which seems to debunk the rule of the mishnanida because this is you know a grafted species it's an Interbridge specie it's not a purebred this satinkus marinus is a is a mixture between you know a snail and a tuna fan a gefilte fish and uh that didn't exist right the gefilte fish never bred with the snail before MATA in the times of the Torah there was no satinkus marinos but now that we had now that the fish um interbred so now now we have a fish that has snails now the skin and that has fins and the mission is right in the times that the Torah was given everything that has girls has fins ah you found the fish with snails that with with scales and not fins that's a new fish like a mule like a mule right so I'm abrasions because all the bar mistakes just a vibrations they Absa means it came after the time of the mission on times of the mishnah there was not a fish in the sea that had skeleton have fins but this fish developed after that's answer number one answer number two says now it hit me another interpretation more correct the question we mentioned earlier plastic tests and prosecutors exact same thing says anything that has scales and fins you're allowed to eat and then posted says and if it doesn't have scales and fins you can't eat it it's extra it's verbose it's Superfluous times early no they're two different rules speaking about fish plus the good is speaking about creepy crawly aquatic creatures amphibians buy fish it has to have scales and fins and by aquatic features if it doesn't have fins and scales you can't eat it but the rule of the mishnah that anything that has scales has fins is only by fish and there ain't no fish in the sea that has scales and doesn't happen but the satinkus marinus is not a fish it has feet so it has feet it's an aquatic creature it's an amphibian so it's it's possibility nobody ever said that aquatic creatures that have skills have to have fins you can have aquatic creatures that have scales that don't have fins for example your favorite fish sunticus marinas he says the nearly not everything in the ocean is a fish right right you could have um if it has you there's one thing called a fish and then there's something that crawls in the ocean so something that crawls in the ocean is not the mission I never said the rule that anything it has scales has to have fins look nearly the hakas of harishine madabib and therefore the thekaya foreign so therefore the satinkas marinas has legs walks and it's not subject to the rule of whatever has scales has fins so so far Rabbi we have two answers answer number one is it's a new fish that developed after the time of the mishnah answer number two is it's talking about it's not a fish so it's not subject to the rule whatever has scales has fins no but we all ain't no fish that's why people people say Yono by a whale no he wasn't he was solved by a fish right okay Silva and he says God should forgive the Tyson on the Fifth Line God should forgive the system for printing foreign ideas that almost uproot the fundamental principles of the Torah and give room for an API chorus to make a mistake and start challenging hazal heaven forbid to say that the mishna said whatever has scales has fins I this fish has skills and doesn't have fins it developed later develop later as if the mission was giving a temporary rule that would then would not stand the test of time heaven forbid to say that the rule was only up until more recent discoveries but now that we've made a more recent discovery so now all bets are off heaven forbid to say such a thing to say that a cloud in hazal are neutral every principle found in stands the test of time say s you could take to the bank from now until uh forever if gazal says something about Nation Oh well now today is different because women are in the work first doesn't matter the nature of the woman never changed because I'll say a principle it will stand forever and ever men don't change women don't change for psychology doesn't change every rule found in Shas will last and stand forever will does not change and not change number two says the second answer of the is talking about aquatic creatures and the rule that it's whatever has scales has fins only applies if it's not aquatic creatures it's a toss it's a mistake and it's just simply wrong so therefore says in his opinion uh this satinkus marinus that seems to have scales and doesn't have fins is not a question I but we look at it as scales it doesn't have fins either they already fell off or it didn't grow yet I don't know the gemara says whatever has scales has but I found a septinkus marinus you found it at the wrong time you must have missed the scale the things that fell off or they didn't grow yet so you're gonna you're gonna say You're Gonna rely on your own scientific experiment and say that the the mishna's rule is not correct he says don't start differentiating between fish and frogs Castle I guarantee you if you see anything in the water with scales you know what you should do oh hmm and you should also be blessed by the stinkers says the gemara says the prihadash it must be the gamzado it must have uh it must have sins I it's poison and the the thesis said the toy would never matter poison what do you mean that the tar is not mattering poison you're allowed to eat it when you remove the poison I have a question for you there are a lot of poisonous herbs they're also kosher ah how could they be kosher the toes should say they're trait because Atara gives you a little credit that you're not gonna eat cyanide why doesn't why isn't there a lavender to eat cyanide a little credit that Torah gives you that even though it's technically kosher you're not going to eat it so that's answer number three the fins must have fallen off and finally Rabbi said the fourth answer an amazing answer of the Muggin of rum and also shyles Madura Kama in the first volume and this is the Muggin of rum the mugging of rum wrote A Commentary to the ALCO shamani and in the magnavram's commentary to the Alka shimani and parisha shmini Paige Lama test on the days this is the mishnah says anything that has scales has fins so again we still want to know so why did the Torah have to say it has to have fins and the answer is to make the Torah bigger what does that mean to make the Torah bigger Isis has an amazing question how did hazal know whatever has scales has fins which birdy that whatever has scales has fins look at toy systems and don't say we have a tradition from Adam because we know Adam named all of the animals all the behemois and all the ifis he even named God but it doesn't say anywhere he named the fish he named the fish Adam told us that whatever has scales husbands or Tyson says It's amazing okay so there's a good tradition now the shalimation says it could be that even though Adam knew that everything that has scales has fins this fish developed after Adam and therefore Adam didn't tell us not to eat it because the truth is what did other mauritians say we have a rule whatever has scales has fins now that's a very dangerous rule if right where do we get the rule from Adam said don't worry just check if it has scales and then you could eat it but that's a very dangerous rule because then we're going to come to eat a fish that has scales but it might not have fins what's a fish that has scales and doesn't have fins the satinkus marinas the answer is that whatever has scales has fins but the Toyota that one day they would we would encounter a fish that contradicts this rule therefore the Torah added so the gemara has Akasha if whatever has scale right think about it this way other maurician got up in sheer and he says I want you to know whatever has scales has fins that's a great rule because every single fish that we ever found has scales and has fins the problem is there was one fish that contradicts the room Hashem knew there would one day be official contradict the rule so the Gemar asked if everything that has scales has fins why did the Torah ride sins and skills just write skills because Hashem knew that after all the Maurice Jones here there would be a satinkus marinus and we might eat it because it has scales so Hashem said it has to have sins also but what do you mean everything that has scales has fans no no not everything that has scales has fins there's going to be one fish that has skills and doesn't have fins and therefore the Torah went out of its way lahaga Del toy roll adira so the monkey Abram asks listen carefully but why did Hashem have to write it why did Hashem have to write sins we're not going to eat a satinkus marinus anyway you know why because it's poison ah it says the mug and have rum you know what it means there's one other time in gazal that we have the expression your favorite mishnah right that's everybody's favorite because everybody wakes up God wanted to make the Jewish people meritorious therefore he gave them much Tara says the hila garashi there are many things in the title we wouldn't do nobody's eating a rat so why does Hashem have to say Don't eat a rat for supper don't worry I'm not gonna eat the rat nobody's eating an ant so why does the Torah have to say Don't eat an ant nobody's you know I was walking to shore the other day it was March 15th all of a sudden on the pavement there were a lot of earthworms it did not stir my appetite didn't get it didn't answer my answer well I'm not used to it that's too much information okay so why does the toy have to say Don't eat an earthworm I wouldn't you know why you're right I wouldn't do it anyway but now I'm not doing it because the Tyra told me not to do it so I'm getting reward not to do uh so it's like this whatever has scales has fins so whatever has skills has fins so why didn't the Torah just write scales and I would know and I would know that um the fins you know why because the Tyrone knew that there's going to be a satinkus Marines anestheticus Marines has scales and doesn't have fins now the truth is I but that debunks the rule it doesn't debunk the rule you know why because nobody's eating it anyway it's not a problem the answer is even though the mission says whatever has scales has fins and now here a person the the kosher consumer is going to be tricked because he's going to eat this I think his moves no one's eating so think it's marinas it's poisonous so why wouldn't the Torah just write scales and I would know fins you know why because all these millions of Jews in the world who now refrain from satinka's marinas until now the reason they refrain from it is because it was poisonous bashem says I want to give you more reward I want you not to eat a satinkus marina it's not because it's poisonous because it doesn't have fins so even though every single fish in the world that has scales has fins and the one exception nobody's eating anyway because it's poisonous so all the people are not going to eat it they're not going to get rewarded because they're refraining because it's poisonous now every day a Jew could wake up in the morning and even if he doesn't learn a word and even if he doesn't dive in he could get reward what's the reward by now that you know there's something called satinkas marines you could say Hashem I'm a loyal servant of yours even though I wouldn't have eaten this poisonous fish anyway now I don't eat it because it doesn't have thin that's the gemara says everything that has gals has fins so let the tour just write scales and I went on defense the answer is there's one fish in the world that you wouldn't eat anyway and it has scales and it doesn't have fins and the Tory rides fins and scales so now we refrain from eating it just lahag Del Toro ladira like we find this time for real Rota colors hello you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
