KOSHER ANIMAL RIGHTS

[Music] ah uh so as far as eating meat eating uh in Judaism poultry and meat are in essence in the same in the same basket uh they're both considered I know that you know in the uh regular world people think that chicken or believe the chicken is different than meat and that's fine uh for you but in Judaism in essence they're both put in the same basket meat and chicken is in essence the same thing but there is a specific emphasis on eating meat during y during Shabbat and drinking wine not to the point of uh intoxication and and abnous but nonetheless because the says that you know a person you know because the the body had was was created with certain needs uh person in order to elevate to to a higher level of happiness has to enjoy meat has to enjoy a little bit of wine so there is a uh mitvah to drink wine and eat meat on yto which is the holidays and on Shabbat uh so that's the times where you need to do it second thing is if a person is wants to be vegetarian or vegan uh uh I'm not really sure what much of the difference is between the two I think vegetarian you're still technically uh what you're eating fish still and you're just not eating uh you're just not eating meat whereas V vegan you're not even eating eggs you know you're pretty much you're just you're eating off trees practically right okay God bless you uh so anyway somebody wants to eat trees somebody that wants to do that that's fine uh you going have probably a very difficult life uh but uh you're probably going to look healthy uh listen it's a um if you're doing it for health reasons if you're doing for health reasons meaning you have a specific allergy for to meet you have a specific uh I don't know it causes you major problems things like that that's one uh that's a specific issue that has to be uh you know evaluated individually if you're doing it because you're merciful on animals it's completely forbidden forbidden for you to be a vegan or vegetarian or anything because you're merciful on animals why because you do not have more Mercy than God if God instilled a rule into the world that the animals are to be eaten if they're kosher and eaten if they're not Kosher by non-jews uh and that's the rule of the world and you think that that's mean then you are insane and you're going against God why cuz God created the world where the animals are created for you they're created for you and the truth be told you cannot live without animals you cannot live without animals you know all these people that fantasized and pretend like they're they're not benefiting out of the uh out of animals because they're not eating the cow okay you may not be eating the cow but you're still using animals why you have furniture what you think the furniture is only wood furniture has certain pieces that come from animals you have hair brush where do you think the brush where do you think the hair from the brush comes from where do you think it comes from you where you okay you have shampoo where you think the shampoo comes from where you think the shampoo com where you think the soap comes from okay you have shoes where you get shoes from the tree where you went to the palm tree made yourself shoes likeu what you where you get your shoes from you have a leather jacket you have clothes you have belts you have animals animals you there's no way to avoid it okay you may not want to ingest them but you're still them nonetheless and guess what when they're slaughtered by by a rabbi it's much better way for them to die than when they're slaughtered or killed or shot or electrocuted for your shoes or your jacket so enough with the nonsense if you're doing it for Mercy it's wrong it's heresy heresy health reasons has to be evaluated Case by casee basis and again even in the health cases you should still have some for the sake of the mitzvah during those specific times for example myself at some point during my life as my body was you know uh changing uh for some reason or another decided that me and alcohol are not friends anymore not that I was ever a big drinker but a few times a year used to I used to drink Scotch my Scotch was Johnny wer blue I would drink it I don't know three four times a year that's it and uh for some reason or another as my body was changing I started detesting all alcohol to the point where much of it gives me an allergic attack and I never had allergies growing I never had allergies but I would have certain alcohol somebody would give me out don't know wine and all of a sudden my face started having an allergy attack I have scotch all of a sudden all strange out of nowhere what decided so what do I do now that means that wine for me is no no I don't I don't get along with mine I don't get along with any alcohol but I have have certain times during the year that let's say Pim or other place where I need to have a drink or even for K so I have a little bit I have a little bit if I could tolerate it but not as as as much as I uh as little as I could get away with if you will if I simply can't take it I'll have grape juice grape juice still fulfills the obligation I'm done uh many times it's if I couldn't handle it at all I wouldn't even have that I wouldn't even have that why because it actually caused me physical pain so if it caused you physical pain it's a different story different story but again you should still try to fulfill the obligation if you can if you simply can't because it creates major problems then again you'll have a uh you'll have a reason not to but it shouldn't be a uh a new new thing definitely shouldn't be for the sake of saving money it definitely shouldn't be for the sake of Mercy it definitely shouldn't be for any of those other reasons really the only reason not to eat meat is either uh or really for health reasons bottom line that's really it or you just you know if the person is that poor they can't afford it it's a different story but generally speaking uh it's I think most people in today's world can uh afford it to some extent again you don't need to eat meat all week no one says you have to eat meat all week you have to eat in fact the more righteous people among us they eat meat usually once a week Shabbat they don't eat meat every day I know like Americans you know they they'll eat like you know a cow just for breakfast and pag on top of it and doesn't really work that way you know like you know it's you know most most you know really you know don't eat meat until the until Shabbat you know so uh you could eat meat if you want you want to eat a steak for breakfast enjoy but it's not normal not normal I know in America it's like having like a you know couple donkeys on your plate for breakfast with eggs on them that's like uh oh breakfast here B and breakfast you ate the cow that you ate is the size of a bed next we're very excited to offer you the new beatm app 3.0 it's a newer faster app full of Torah lots of K by the shim
