[Music] the question is when you're eating something that has waste eating something that has waste whether it be pistachios or olives or anything else on shabat you have to be uh very careful with in regards to B the B is separating the good from the bad so you have to uh for the sake of being careful with you don't make an t uh it's uh very uh smart to uh if you're going to have if you're going to put it just on your plate you put it just on your plate uh that's one thing because you have good on your plate you have good on your plate but if you're putting it into let's say some cup or some bucket uh let's say the seed or the peel you're putting something else then you have to put at least one or two good ones in the same place that you're throwing out the waste uh so there's no why because now you're not taking the good from the bad you take there's good and then you're putting the bad in a place that also has good so there's good in both places but I can tell you also for for for this since obviously we try to learn mus we try to learn mid it's uh also you have to be very careful to not to be disgusting uh I know this may sound funny to some people but this is a you're not allowed to be disgusting so thear says I believe it's actually Shabbat you may have gone over it uh one of the one of the tanim at the time they were able to tell the difference between a uh a AR which is what we call Grasshopper today uh they were able to tell the difference between the kosher one and non- kosher ones theim the yemenites today that still live in Yemen can still tell because it's AAG for them for 3,000 years they haven't they haven't left home that they're still there should never the head Rabbi of Yemen by the way recently said no one should leave no more because anyone that left there's been a lot of a lot of problems anyway anyone that left uh time to do chba but uh even if you think you did chuba but uh the uh even in Iran Iran there's some Yim there there some Jews in Iran Rabbi over there said no one should leave stay in Iran if you're religious religious Jew in Iran stay there yeah but the Iranians are killing people yeah but they're not killing religious Jews they're killing zionists so anyway the uh the Minag of of Yemen still alive for people that live there because they are able to tell the difference between AR between a grasshopper or what we call a grasshopper uh that's kosher and non kosher now if you see a grasshopper and you eat it that's a for at least a few years unless you do CH why because it's making sins making sins against it's at least five pigs it's like you ate Pig five times anytime you eat a bug it's uh that you're able to see with your eyes it's five different sins in the Torah now if you can't see it with your own eyes meaning it's one of these microscopic uh bugs then uh it's it's not a sin from the Tora but it still makes you spiritually stupid it still hurts you but there's no Gom for it but if somebody eats a bug on purpose because he wants to go to a local non- kosher place and just eat salad because he thinks he's beating the system by going to a non- koser place eating salad that still has you know the meat of the of the of the bugs in it he should actually uh no he's eating meat she can't eat milk but anyway that was a joke that's what to left there uh the uh the thing is though is that uh the uh people that were able to tell the difference between a kosher Al and non kosher would eat them why would they eat them why is it so delicious I don't know how it tasted but thear says that there was a special Mal there a special significance in these specific type not all of them in these specific type of AR that if you ate the AR you ate the grasshopper from the right side you ate it from the right side then it would open up your mind that you were able to consume as much Tora as you wanted in a moment you'd be able to study the entire sh in five minutes but then you have to eat the second half left half why so it's concealed and you don't forget it why if you don't eat the other half you forget everything forget everything so one of the T did it he ate one the other T says it's not no it's goes no it's not ker why not ker it's disgusting it's disgusting me it's not that it's the bug itself that technically it's not a bug so therefore you're allowed to eat it it's not no it's but you're eating next to me and it's this disgusting me that there's little legs crawling out of your mouth it's disgusting me it's not meaning that to be disgusting makes you not K not the bug the bug is K you're not K so you're not allowed to be disgusting what does it have to do with the olives and all the other foods that have peels in them a lot of fruits have peels in them and olives have you know the pits in them and different things and people have this uh bad tea bad bad midot that they don't know they don't realize it's bad but they they spit out the pit out of their mouth and they put it on the table there's nothing other than other things that come out of the body excuse me for for being frank but that's just you have to say this other than that there's nothing more disgusting nothing that comes out of your body other than Torah is goodlooking everything else is disgusting which reminds us another reason not to ever be arrogant because everything is disgusting that comes out of us other than Tor and Tora is not ours anyway but the point is is that you're not allowed to be disgusting so if you're sitting in a table and you're eating these seeds like people like Israelis typically like to eat seeds and they put all the kipot all of the peels on the table they build themselves Mount saai Everest uh the mountains or you know they everybody Compares their mountains there's nothing more disgusting than this for anybody else that's not eating it or is normal that sees the peels that come out of your mouth with all the G Nish that you have in your mouth and the saliva is dripping from it there's nothing more disgusting than that that makes even the uh the seeds sunflower seeds it's not koser not koser why it's disgusting you're not allowed to be disgusting so it's very very important that if you're going to eat olives which I like very much and I'm sure you do as well try my suggestion is eat the ones that don't have pits in them that's the best way well it saves you the headache plus maybe a tooth so you don't but if you have to have because I don't know the ones that you like come and that only come with pits in them then what I would suggest you do is have a napkin handy have a napkin handy and every time you take the olive you want to take it out of your mouth the pit out of your mouth take it out with the napkin therefore the people that are sitting next to you don't see anything other than the napkin and you leave it in the napkin no one has to see the Guan Nish that goes out in your mouth it's not nice it's not nice for somebody else is trying to eat his uh Shabbat meal and he sees stuff comes out of your mouth it's not nice or sometimes people don't like the food you know some some people they don't like the food so they want to make sure you know they don't like the food so what do they do they start spitting it on the table they start taking it out of their mouth and put it on their on their plate oh sir this is not good well not good it's not good now I'm not hungry anymore I want to vomit it's not nice so you're not allowed to be disgusting why because that turns the purest cow that you just paid $100 for a take on Lo it's not Kosher anymore why because you're not Kosher cow's good cow goes to Ganan you on the other hand something else why not allowed to be disgusting it's bad midot and it causes other people anguish so we learned this from the we learn from this that we're not allowed to be disgusting next okay so is is obligated to represent theem all of us are obligated to to represent AEM but is supposed to know that he's a representative of hem at all times meaning that any time any regular person any any regular balab thinks of Tor he has to visualize something he has to visualize something he has to visualize something alive he's not going to V visualize this behind me he's not going to visualize that why because to him it's just a some cow M cow they skinned her then they made her skin into paper and we read it and somebody picks it up and pays a few thousand for he doesn't really know what it means what to be a seph t so what does he see he sees the living seph he sees is a so now if he sees the seph looks like he's homeless to such an extent that not because he doesn't have enough more clothes if he doesn't have any more clothes it's a different story but if he sees them he always looks like a bum he always smells terrible he has stains on his shirt he says oh this is the Tor and this is the reward for it so if I go learn to if I don't learn to I have houses in every city I have cars I have this this he has look at this he still has a chant on on his on his shirt disgusting he always smells bad too and he starts giving the tah bad me he a so the that he causes that's that's why now they ask the next question which is what happens if if it happens in Shabbat happens in Shabbat and he doesn't have another shirt doesn't have another shirt does she go to b or no answer is goes to besset why because then it's a k Why is it K he goes toet with the St on why because anyone that has any dot any mind knows you're not allowed to laer on Shabbat so wow look this came with a stain on Shabbat he keeps Shabbat he's a he's a serious he's a serious Shabbat Observer why because it's it's bu to go walk around with a stain it's bu it's not it's not nice but he's walking around with the stain why because it's even more important to go pray to hm with a so that's K but the regular week when he's able to change a shirt and he chooses not to next [Music]
