Welcome and welcome everyone to a special edition of all parshas parshas shmini the same sofa and parshas shmini this week. I would like to share with you three different passages of the same sofa found throughout his writings. Let's begin shall see to the same sofa or Heim cinnamon peggy Mel. The response of the same sofa some servers talking about a fascinating question where unfortunately a family had a child with special needs and the child had to be sent to a home a facility where which was the only way for this child to be properly cared for and the problem was that the facility would be feeding the child non-kosher food. And the question is we know some say for says that it is also my heart is a source of time. It is also proactively be a dime to feed non-kosher even to a child. So the question is whether leaving the child in a facility where you're not actively feeding them the non-kosher but instead you're putting them somewhere and they will be doing so is that considered being my heart kill be a dime causing them to proactively eat something which is not kosher and the same sofa says that on a holistic level according to the letter of the law this would not be considered being my heart kill them be a dime to actively feed them non-kosher but the the same sofa says therefore when the child reaches 13 you would have to take them out but until then holistically it would be permitted but says the same sofa near line yes that he made a car had in this is what seems to me according to the letter of the law when we come out come he eat you come my name is out our earliest stages teach us shall you dim a whole lot of series but not us that through the consumption of eating prohibited food when one is young met on time how late it clogs up the heart it contaminates the heart or my little light camera and it produces a bad character. Therefore a dime and you are my mood of she showed the whole yard of if this is the only way for this child to be cured the same sofa says it's better not to take advantage of such a remedy and have to put them in a situation where they're going to eat non-kosher food. Some places can point out that's only if there is an anticipation that they will one day be cured. If there's no anticipation we don't have to be concerned that a mood of she showed the whole yard of yard of Russia shall play a marker. In other words the concern of the same sofa is that the child may become mentally healthy and the food that the child ate may cause evil characteristics but if there's no anticipation of the child recovering then even the same sofa would agree that it would be permitted but nevertheless we see this highlights the importance of the idea that consuming non-kosher food can create some type of evil tendencies and personality and character in the one who consumes it as the Gamora Numa says the flat mattress commenting on the possible in this week's parsha per kid olive possible memo gimel the possible says out to actually snatch a second the whole of series but not us for a seat animal by him the next may some bomb I'll take away the next may some element town them a Vera met on time a mess leave a salad on a sin contaminates the heart of a person and the social charm writes that as much as it applies to any sin the specifically applies when it comes to the consumption of forbidden foods because by consuming the forbidden food you ingest it you digest it and you reconstitute it to make it you so it has an extremely bad effect on a person's makeup and character. Now let's flip this in the other extreme. Because of consuming forbidden food creates an evil tendency in a person. Imagine if a person would consume a food item which is sanctified and holy and an item which is a mix up. Amazingly the same sofa in another chew up in a cinnamon cook salad above he writes about the importance of being careful in the midst of master the same sofa says master the mix up master the night of the seder a killer mix up a seashell a killer master machine mirrors below pass up eating schmear master the night of the seder he the nation of London. It is the only mix up that remains with us me call mix up a killer show the whole entire of all the mix ups of eating in the whole entire. We don't have carbon pass up. We don't have cod sham. We don't have trauma. We don't have my sir and in our humble safer my good old Kia pass up my mama llama we explain even though there are many times during the course of the year where it's a mix up to eat it's a mix up to eat in the circle it's a mix up to eat on shabbos. However the food item itself is not a chef Sasha mix up. There's only one time a year that there's a mix up Sasha the right side to ingest an item that the item itself is a chef Sasha mix up. So think about it if by ingesting my heart kill us series it contaminates the heart and it corrupts the character think about what kind of tremendous elevation one will experience by eating the master by consuming the master by ingesting it digesting it and reconstituting it into the person that we are. So the mix up a killer master is a unique opportunity to revolutionize a person's entire makeup. And if a person maybe without knowing or realizing or with the proper education at some point consumed a forbidden food then the same sofa in his dress shows page your test the very masculine who teaches us a very encouraging thought that we know when a person does chew up out of love it transforms the sin into a mix up. So if somebody only does chew up out of fear it downgrades the offense from intentional to unintentional but if somebody does chew up out of love then it transforms the offense into a mix up. Says the same sofa if somebody consumed forbidden food and they did chew up out of love it is transformed at to is a close like eating the carbon pass up in Jerusalem. So the parshas shmini talks about the detrimental effect of forbidden food. We see from the same sofa how the extent that we have to go to stay away from forbidden food and on the other hand it gives us great insight into what kind of elevation we will experience in the mix up a killer master have a line up the tiger wishing everyone a wonderful shabbos.
