Rabbi Rotberg Pesach 2023 The Lakewood Scoop

So today we're going to be discussing we're going to be discussing some of the most probably traveling questions that keep coming up from different people number one is we're going to be talking about what products we know that the spectrum of people that are marketed on different products that have to be customer paid so if people ask questions as far as medicines here is Pleasant vitamins if you want to know about the toothpaste shoe polish papers and I mean everything you about Christianity is almost a cultural piece of cash on everything but there's no half was and a problem do I have to spend extra money to get something with a heck ship and also I want to talk about also the issue of smoking on YouTube now you're smoking on pesach whether if it's motor to smoke whether it is a problem of comets as well as e-cigarettes and Vapes want to try to cover some of these topics maybe it's a little bit too uh maybe it's too much to get in one chip but we're gonna try try our best I want to first talk about the basics that we should at least understand what's going on so we know that besides the answer of evening comets there's an instant to own and possess comets and it says you're not allowed to own comets you're not allowed to some people go survive Jarvis is not an instrument if he was going to look at comments if they walk by uh they won't even go buy a place for this they're selling comets and even though it's of comets is also awesome and I'll tell you it has to be destroyed so a lot of times so people say but it's only so little comments it doesn't matter even Hotsy sheer there's there's innocent now the truth is that we spoke about people say that I don't need to do much because I get rid of all my comments we spoke about that in many many household products there's uh there's comets in them now the gemara learns out another Zion the gamara learns out like circle called that we learn out from there that something which is not edible does not have a lot of comets so when we start talking about products you know most people have never never drank a little shoe polish and no most people never wanted to chew on some uh on on amoxicillin because they were just hungry but hurry these things are completely they're not they're not they're not really a dog wouldn't eat it and therefore they shouldn't be it shouldn't be an issue now I'm paying tax is actually more of a homeless being nism that um now these are these are these um now one of one of the issues we have over here is what comes up with all these issues is actually what is a lot of actually there's a Russian in the beginning of the second paragraph of of uh that the rush over there says that if let's say um that let's say something is but I go and eat it so then I'm showing that is I think for me I'm eating it that's Allah actually so it means that if I have something if I had if I had a medication so let's say I had a amoxicillin and I wouldn't have that it's not really looking for a dog you won't eat it the problem is the moment you ingest it you're showing there's a lot of actually that means you defy the logic and you are eating it so therefore it becomes an issue of actually so think about this question we're going to talk about smoking a similar question even if you want to say this is the very fact that you are ingesting it so that that in itself is a shows that maybe there's a lot of of actually so we're going to talk about that in a moment I just want to point out one thing this is very very important now come on on the spot every year hatsala gets calls from people and their issue is that they didn't know that the medicine was cautioned on pesach and therefore they didn't what they were going to take it they're waiting to get through the rough they went to the doctor so let's just make one thing very very clear anybody that is potentially is allowed to take any medicine that they could possibly take there's no medicine should bother getting on a phone about you're allowed to take it let's take that a step further that is going to be bedridden as a result of not taking his medication someone was gonna have for example as a migraine has to get migraine headaches and in order to to deal with it he takes medication every day to stop it and he's going to swallow a pill so uh you know basically spoiler alert you could take that medication you're swallowing your pill so let's just let's just put that on the side I'm not even going to get into that because it doesn't make sense you don't have to sit there looking to see whether someone who has an infection to look up to see if the medicine is in is in one of the one of the various books that talks about that so I'm not even going to go there I want to go about a different child so so what we this do when it comes to vitamins and medications and things like that these are Allah that means let's say I'm eating something right no one has a minute for example nobody maybe before but for example a suppository is not very is something which is ingested so now what does it mean that something's ingested doesn't mean I have to chew it doesn't mean if I swallow a pill what is called this is that um that he was having he was having enough from something from Arla and the gamara comes out over there that um anything which is which anything which is it's not there's no Issa so again so I'm just saying I really think that people need to understand this it's not a it's not a cooler which somebody came up with it's a gemara it's quese says when it comes to Holy surim you're allowed if if it's coming to cure a person if there's medicine you let it take it even if it's in there there's no if you're doing it like regular you're eating your food which is awesome you can't do it is so this is a very very important thing now they know you give you Huda writes that swallowing something you know used in Madura karma in your idea and he says that um there's an argument that's very very important that he that he says that if you swallow a pill it's still considered if you think about it every time we eat food we we swallow the food so the fact that I didn't chew it doesn't mean that it's not that it's that if I swallow her pills according to the United and he's taking medication for allergies and the medication has has and the medication has comets in it so if you swallow that pill is awesome because swallowing a pill is and therefore it's awesome to take it on on pesach or if it's straight would have that issue is he says his follows he says when this person swallows pills with he says that if you swallow it is if a person inhales a slice of pizza so you're a bit off a piece of pizza instead of being a human and chewing the pizza you swallowed it that the review the thing is that's called awesome it says Rock Oz aminon review but if you're taking an Augmentin pill which is augmented nobody was really really hungry and said I want to just say I want to eat I want to eat some good antibiotics so it's never meant to eat the whole dark is only meant to swallow it is allowed to have it and that is that is not that's not an issue so this is a very very important when it comes to medication so number one you have says hold on you know you that means if I do that to food but now we have another show so if you have another shot we spoke about is actually so let's say it is what about actually the concept that even though this commenting is the fact that you're eating it so therefore therefore it shows that to me it is so this is a very famous anybody you need to know this has an ish there's Carson is from the usages medications that have flour in it now there are medications understand a few things here when when when medicines have have comics in it there's two places that can have comments it could either have in the actual pill the compounds of the pill that keeps it together and or could have in the medicinal part generally speaking when a medicine has has um when a medicine has comets in it for the most part it's going to be in the compound that's keeping the pills together it's usually not that green is is is curing the infection the grain is made is usually used in the pill to keep to keep the pill form so he says he says if it's that is it's not it's this says that would not be considered that's not a problem it's not considered he says that means if let's say everybody says you can't eat this food why can't you eat this food imagine one thing somebody says you can't eat this hookah that's raw fish and all these raw fish and you go you eat raw fish so you arrive if you're not negative that you're showing that Oxford that even though but it's somebody that needs a pill am I showing that that that's right because in fact tell me now I'm showing one thing I need a pill and I want to get better so I'm swallowing it and also that actually on the compound it's actually on the medicinal part she says did that tell us the medicine apartment so this is a very important thing remote she writes also remote someone was taking medicine even if there's no psychologist life there's no such thing because they did have asked you that shows that I'm eating and the fact that I eat in a show that it is you don't say that by medicine you say that by food so somebody would eat a piece of fish a piece of meat a pizza something potato which is most people all the internet videos but on medicine you wouldn't you wouldn't say that now is he brings the shock and science him and I and hate who holds it even by refuel there is actually so that's the reason why there are people that are are um but again I want to get into this there's definitely a plenty of starting to be making it but he's looking at brings a lot of this conversation so it's it's a very very important conversation now which also leads to which I'm not going to get into today because I really want to get into the other shows they wanted to talk about it's as far as um you know cigarettes and things like that but I think what's a very another very important in China um well I think what what's very not besides what we just discussed about actually and medicines and things like that I think it's also important to to know that a lot of times with kids kids sometimes have to have comments there's certain kids that have formula which are kidneys but these also some sometimes are important than children that needle or even adults that need to be on certain formulas which are hamad's grammar and so hopefully you had to deal with it um obviously the other option is never gonna be that the child shouldn't eat but um but um you know when you're very very picky kids and things like that is uh live in Alaska which We're Not Gonna which which I'm not gonna get to now I wanted so what I do want to talk about is when it comes to the shylist that we're talking about is with regards to um with regards to cigarettes so cigarettes it's very interesting there's been a shine about cigarettes MacLeod about first of all when I when someone smokes something is that called eating it or not so certainly one thing is for sure his lungs know about it it and obviously it's certainly in your body it's certainly affecting a person but is that any different than uh than going for a suntan which is which is again what makes this is what makes something ingesting something is and whatnot so always the question is does anybody here make a bracha on smoking right you're having cigarettes you want to save the mice if you think about it when somebody inhales a cigarette some some of it is definitely being ingested it's going into the intestinal tracts as well so so is that is that a caliber Cloud do we have to know whether your cigarettes are Kosher or not is that even a Shiloh or not it's so so actually there's a Morgan of ramen seven ratio in safe tests with a we're um the the the soya about this also is is steam or smoke from something whether that's cold is that called the thing itself if I have I'm not from is that called is that called is that cool that I ingested something or not so that's a that's a separate Shiloh now what's important about this child is that so we know that the Morgan Abram says that um people that put grass which they call Tobacco lasted I should very soon they inhale they suck on this uh straw which inhales the smoke and then they exhale It Dummy the time of pilot is that like someone who tastes something and spits it out chainsaws or maybe it's like uh like a like it's like uh certainly cigarettes that the body has I know from it so maybe you should say he says because many he says men many people taka they have enough they even feel satisfied so maybe you should have to make a bracha on it now Mugabe the broccoli over here says that you don't have to make a brother he argues to make a brachan cigarettes he says because even though you feel satisfied he says that's because you're addicted so because you're addicted and you have a nicotine craving so it's satisfying that need for nicotine but it's not really it's not really doing anything for you as far as really satiating you in any way someone who's not someone who's not addicted is not those gonna it's no one's gonna eat a cigarette by inhaling it and saying I feel so full so it's it's a it's not really addressing anything so so that that's gotta be brought up so what about Agape hummus it seems like a lot of the tobacco was made with um they used to soak the tobacco and beer and because they soaked the tobacco and beer so they're shy about whether or not it's coming tonight and that seems to be the tremendous Shiloh but the truth is ready before that Zion and Civ game over there talks about the Thomas schmeck tabach that um that there was known to have yamasu in it and wanted to know whether he had to use the schmeck topic that had the ins offended and obviously he came out over there I believe he comes out he says that you're not allowed to use that because it has has gainesa now the market I've run therefore when it comes to pesach the Morgan of rum writes in Simmons Zion if I believe it's yodh talks about this hard story which I don't want to get into what that is exactly the different peppers and these come from different places and he says to to soak the tobacco in beer and darkness you have to lock it in the room but but certainly you will not be allowed to use tobacco on pesach which has which was soaked in beer so this is this is this is obviously this is uh this is a shita which is um seems according to this so it would be it wouldn't be it would be a um basically based on this seems to save these in it then you don't have to and you wouldn't be able to use it on pesos now do cigarettes have hummus in it or not so Grande I've just I I think I saw this here that um there's actually one of the Israeli ashames that come out now with no cigarettes tonight so actually I have comments in it but we'll get to the e-cigarettes and Vapes it's actually a lot more complicated because over there it's very different but this is the management base he talks about this the the schmeck tabach and he talks about over here that um even though it's colored he says the tobacco's in or in the human skeleton but the very fact that it's meant for you to inhale it so you're showing that it's meant for that he said ingest it and inhale it is he says it's meant for you to smoke and you want to smoke it so it's almost like an Oxford holds that it would be that there would be an issue so all this is not really that much of an issue until we were as long as we're talking about conventional smoking as you know there's a little little at the end of this if in in tough membees I believe it is the the I'm sorry Zion at the end of the conversation is either smoking on pizza because there's beer in it that's what you do is that we know today there's no shash so you're allowed to so you're allowed to smoke cigarettes so here's where it comes into an issue so here's where the issue comes up in in real form so we know that okay so let's say cigarette cigarettes could be if it's smoked into it's if it's soaked in in comets it's a problem in his days there's no they're not then after there's not there's no Hamas in it my father actually told me that he used to bring cigarettes to the stapler for pesach the disciples always worried about comments but he's also the Schmidt they wouldn't smoke cigarettes so um he won't only smoke but he only have a special types that didn't have shot I think I think peso he didn't smoke at all and he didn't Vape so um his mom is for his son who smoked a few packs a day the mysterious enough is unbelievable it means but um so the question therefore is so so the question is by so let's say by cigarettes there's no Shiloh now when it comes to other things it's more of a child so we spoke about in the beginning of this year we spoke about that a lot of things isn't enough to worry about comments we spoke about that it's it's not very lucky this Caleb we spoke about that it's not actually so therefore Marshall's shoe polish we have nothing to worry about no one ever ate shoe polish toothpaste very quesadilla you don't have to be you don't have to worry about it stroll in America it's something that I'm not put on Too Faced into as we in different cultural bases you have nothing to worry about it's not really the killers Caleb a dog never ate it maybe although I heard one of the Tami that went from and put the show put some toothpaste down and brought a dog and the dog eats a toothpaste so so that's the crazy dogs what do you want from me but um but uh but but the mindset we know that if anything which is the issue we have is Israel finds him in archives gimmel and Simon Simon base where emotion says that anything which could be come back to the comet to the original form you don't say anything so for example a perfume which is then you then you then you waited or something then you rated alcohol which just basically means it's regular alcohol which is hummus but what they do is they put in some bad smelling um beard smelling spices into the alcohol so they don't have to pay taxes on it so but now it's not right about Halo now you drink perfume it's very very much says if you could bring it back to the original form then it still has the dinner now so therefore so we basically said like this so the toothpaste the true polish the glue the the the the rack the rat poison all that Salvage has comments in it no problem but the problem is that for example cologne and and deodorant and all these types of things which is liquid and that's not something which could come back to that form so immersion brings down partials you can't do it but he says that only the alcoholism alcohol if it's if it's in a liquid form it's not possible those are fixing and they could drink it okay so now let's go to the E-Cigarettes so the E-Cigarettes we have the questions like this three cigarette we have the Vapes so these are liquid forms now is that is that like smell of the smoke it's it's intended to ingest it now somebody also do when we when someone smokes is it just going into his lungs or is it going into other parts does he swallow any of it also the flavor is put there on purpose you want to have enough from that flavor there's an oxide on it as well I I certainly want it certainly and so now you could say that is a basement it's a huge mahalakis when I grab over there we don't pass them like Rob that's a whole circuit with an asthma but let's say if you hold this if you hold red for sure you have initials now first we're having Hannah from comets now I don't know exactly what the comet's content is but according to her emotion it could be that everything we just said is done again because it could be it's bad because you said if you can go back to that form so and I don't know what form that is so over here is a much different question here you don't have the Orca that says there's no harm it's there is even more over here it's not like tobacco that was soaked in beer this is actual the actual flavor which is intended for you to have I know his comments it's it's certainly a question which means to wonder even more even regular vaping without a Hatcher you also have to know is that is that is that something which just because you see every single person doing here let's start thinking like is that is that really is that really okay enough now you have all these types of sorted on page now because that's even people most people that smoke um that Vape throughout the year will not Vape on PESA hopefully because I'm basically have much more issues yeah I mean they have enough from comments and yeah there's a lot more issues so therefore therefore I think it's it's kadai that um not even I'm not even I wasn't even paid to do an advertisement for this but drop smoke I think has cultural pace of the drops of his wives them giving him the Free Press Summit but um but if it's if it's if it's kadai if whoever does um think it's certainly it's one of these shylists which there is no it's no easy way that somebody can say it's not like cigarettes because if I smoke so there's cigarettes is a whole different Channel like we spoke about and again as far as products medicine anyone that's taking medications if you're taking a pill it's not a child so we saw that even as you're swallowing a pill according to many many posts game it's not even a child either because it's actually on swallowing the pill you don't have it by medicine and even if you hope that says in in words actually that says that actually is not on the food content on the on the it's on the medicinal part is the only thing that I really want so if the compound has comets in it it wouldn't matter products in our home anything which becomes direct contact with the food obviously it could I have to know much of this starch and a lot of the papers in the in the plates things like that they're telling you have to absolutely have to be Mark Miron but other products like um you know people are some people are not put on on soap as well because it says um that's that's uh most of the Soaps I think are okay but we have a real issue is the perfumes the colognes um um and and again the ones that are made in America most of them are not an issue for perfumes and colognes but um but many of them are problematic at least you could like to look at that as well as these cigarettes we should always
