and that's one of the things I didn't know also when I first started doing chur I uh you know I kept kosher I thought I kept kosher my whole life with a couple of breaks from time to time and my exceptions was I'm never going to eat meat I'm never going to eat pig I'm never going to eat milk and meat only thing I'm going to do I'm going to eat you know non meat outside I'll eat pizza I'll eat salad I'll eat pasta no problem but then once you actually start learning about kosher you start learning about food you start realizing that wait a minute there's three pizzerias they all use the same ingredients but all taste different how's it possible Johnny's Pizza is cheese tomatoes and bread Steve's Pizza is cheese tomato and bread and Luigi's Pizza is cheese tomato and bread how is the three different tastes because the sauce both used for the cheese and for the actual tomato sauce self is made with different types of meat so it depends what type of meat you're making it with in order to make the flavor so now when you eat pizza at Domino's at Pizza Hut at Luigi's or any place it's not Kosher not only are you not are you violating the dairy and meat but you're actually eating them together and without learning about this You' never know you know so if something doesn't have a kosher I have a whole list my uh my wife I uh made a list of different ingredients they uh use in food uh that even if you don't care for kosher you still wouldn't want to eat them and they're only found in food that's not Kosher meaning that it's so easy to make food kosher today because the system is Big the kosher industry is huge that if something doesn't have a kosher sign there's a real reason for it like for example there's a uh there was orange juice named Sunny Delight that uh for many many years was not Kosher and only in the last five or six years became kosher now people thought this is a scam of the rabbis why would orange juice not be kosher what's wrong with orange juice comes from orange juice Rabbi is trying to milk the orange company right greedy no you'd find out that if you investigated that Sunny Delight wanted a special ingredient to make their orange juice extra yellow because more marketable when it's extra yellow so that extra ingredient wasn't kosher the reason why is because it was crushed beetles now whether you like kosher or you don't like kosher I still wouldn't want to eat beetles and if you see this ingredient list that we have it's all real you could it's also publicly available you could see this stuff you see some of these ingredients they use in food it's m much disgusting that even if you're not Jewish you wouldn't want to eat non koser and they don't like crushed yeah they don't write Crush beetles they give you like formulas like E320 or you know red 14 or some you know different types of uh code names that you know you have to be in the industry to know so if it's not Kosher there's a reason for it um now in regards to uh food it's very very easy because um you know what's kosher and what's not but the Torah also says something very very special about kosher where says when you eat non kosher food you become your soul becomes imp purified now the sages say that the word n which is the one that's used in this uh in this verse is spelled differently than it's spelled usually it's missing a vowel which could be read in a different way which means means stupified meaning that when someone when a Jew is eating non kosher food his soul becomes spiritually St stupid not stupid like they can't build a building or a rocket ship but it becomes very difficult and virtually impossible for them to learn Torah because their n has so many uh peels if you will getting in the way that it's hard for them to accept it at face value and you have to get rid of those pills and it becomes very very difficult and that's why you see sometimes people go to seminars you know and completely secular and in many cases they don't even go some of the people don't even go to the actual lectures and this is proven method many many times M has told me about it several times rir has said it several times many people that have experience with seminars have said this several times it's proof that usually they have these three or four day seminars you know where they have lecture after lecture after lecture of different Torah proofs and so on and obviously it's in a hotel it's in a nice hotel there's kosher food and people that come to these lectures Sometimes some of them don't even go to the lectures but yet at the end of the seminar at the end of four days they do Chua anyway they're excited about Torah they want to learn they want to go to the next seminar they start doing they start doing stuff so they asked the rabas how do you explain this say because For the First Time in their life they actually ate kosher food for 4 days in a row and the food had enough time to turn into blood cuz all the food that you eat turns into blood it becomes your soul the food that you ate on the first they finally had enough time to turn into the blood that you're using finally your your n started becoming purified so just the food that you're eating is going to affect your learning your mitvah are going mitvah are going to be a little easier to do you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah
