Alaska Adventure: Can You Kill "The Alaska State Bird", the Mosquito?

this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com good afternoon everyone hope everyone had a wonderful time in Calcutta so you know there's a big discussion what is the state bird of Alaska well officially the state bird is the willow targaman however we've come to learn the state bird of Alaska is the mosquito um and there's a question why does Alaska have so many mosquitoes well firstly it has mild temperatures a lot of precipitation Marshland lakes and here's the real reason because of the permafrost the water can never drain so everything is basically Marsh so in light of being in the land of the mosquito let's talk about a very interesting halacha are you allowed to kill mosquitoes and there's a mosquito nasty mosquito he wants your blood he's going for the jugular I had to kill a mosquito on now on Shabbos obviously you can't kill the mosquito what Malacca is it the tilas in the shama is but what about on YouTube should we say Mr Brewery that the same way we say in Italian supplies to cooking to baking as well so it's wanna let it kill a mosquito and yamta says revruderman it is permitted to kill a mosquito on YouTube and that is how with small kamonesky pascans that it is permitted to kill a mosquito on YouTube but what's interesting is rebiakov kamonesky said not so fast but vyakov writes is printed in the emission even though there's a sword to say and you should be allowed to kill a bee uh uh Nas I'm a mosquito but yaakov says you cannot kill a mosquito first of all he says the whole meter would be debatable because whenever you're using me tight it's just like something is permitted for a need of food something would be permitted for any need but says there's no positive need to kill the mosquito it's something that's bothering you removing a nuisance is not considered necessarily A saira and it could be that hazal never permitted it because you'd only be allowed to kill a mosquito that's really bothering you and where that guideline would be where the threshold would be could you kill a mosquito that's three feet away from me it's not bothering you yet no that you can't kill them it would be very difficult to have a threshold of which mosquitoes would meet the threshold of annoyance that you'd be allowed to kill them so I just want to point out just to conclude what about killing mosquitoes in general on a Tuesday on a Wednesday writes and igorithmsically any human need one is allowed to uh violate in other words any time there's a human need one could use an animal for any purpose nevertheless says there's another issue over here and that issue is we find by iranidadas that the best Den who has to take the lives of those who served the Torah says whether where the Torah says even though you're taking the lives of the evil doer we're going to engender Mercy within you so so much why do we need to engender Mercy within the court the court is following the the prescribed procedure says emotion from here we see that whenever someone takes a life even when necessary there's a danger of engendering the middle of azarius and therefore the time has to say you need to do this and we'll we'll Safeguard your character trait of rachmanas ramosia says this is not needed by srita by srita there's a Mitzvah shaft so the midfitter shaft you don't need to safeguard you don't have to worry maybe the shoe will become an aksar but whenever possible one should avoid killing an insect the assay straight out ramesha says whenever possible never to kill anybody better to leave a trap better to leave some kind of bee trap mosquito trap spring but to kill any living thing with your own hands ramusha says even though halachically it's permitted [Music] it's better to avoid so when you're on the land of the mosquito it's very important to know Hillside mosquitoes you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you byctoranytime.com
