Shmita | Fruit & Vegetables of Sheviet - What is considered produce of Sheviet

[Music] last class we learned what a has on it the holiness of the year of shemitah now we're going to have to cover very briefly what is considered a gidulin something that was grown during the year of shmitah because some things are grown before after doing so now we know what has tushachevit on it in order for us to know that we're not allowed to do any trading with it and how to dispose it and then the way to eat it of course now we're going to define what is considered that it was grown on the year of shemitah the title of the chapter is called elugidulim next what is considered something that was grown on the year of shemitah and he says as follows whatever we mentioned in the previous class if you remember all the grains all the fruit all the vegetables human edible animal edible and we went through the entire list so it says everything that we spoke about in the previous class the holiness of the seventh year only if they matured so to say during the seventh year what is called schlavage the the maturity of the the the fruit the vegetable or whatever it is which that will determine that will determine if they are connected to the year of shemitah so this is the title first let's see what what is considered that it was grown on snachmita hashlavakovea this determined point this is the point that will determine if they're gonna if they're connected to the year of schmidt or not every this the turning point is different to every species completely different so the turning point for cucumbers of oranges is totally different and we're gonna explain now everything in this chapter but just that we know first we need to determine what is grown on the seventh deer there's a certain turning point that that is the the point of the that it determines it and each specie is determined separately differently how is about that this point this turning point happened on the sixth year on the eighth year that can also happen i'll give you one example we're going to learn it in this chapter most of the citrus fruits that we're eating in this year they already grown last year they don't have to do xiaohuvite and whatever's grown this year and we're going to eat it next year which is not shinachimita we'll have to chivit so this is why i'm saying it it can also happen prior and after what is called shishit and sheminate in the sixth year and the eighth year and it says as follows sometimes this turning point has to do prior or after but the the even though the this turning point in many species happened on the seventh year and what it what would it determine that it will remove the of the seventh year so to keep it simple now we're going to go through the these turning points he calls it the point in their growth that will determine if they belong to the sixth year seventh year or and and then of course what will be the the level of kudusa is good or not now it says first of all let's determine starts on the first day of the seventh year um so first of all the definition of the second that alifti rosh hashanah enters enters and on the when the next year alifti shrey comes in again then the schnatchmeter ends that's the definition not a second before and not a second later now this is with this information now let's start going one by one let's start with what's called grapes and and olives how is about with uh grapes and with olives that the fruits reach to a third of their growth in the snack meta okay now here's a lot of details so just pay attention we're talking here only about grapes and about olives and it says grapes and olives that they reach a third of their growth in the snachmita they have to shave i will explain what's that third let's go through i know you might have questions but be patient as i go i will explain everything this is regarding grapes and olives how is about grain so he says okay vegetables also grain all five grains and luger means that their seeds came to to the third of their growth now he says in parenthesis by yes now we have to understand what's this what's this third now we're going to explain now there's a few opinions by the way with this means a third and he says okay there's a few opinions here and he says as follows peru mishkala a third means a third of their weight when they're going to reach maturity so let's say just for the sake of the example we're talking here about grapes and olives let's say one grape will weigh 5 grams i'm just throwing a number so a third which means a third of that five grams okay now this is one opinion this is not necessarily what we go by there are a few opinions when it's talking about ashleesh nevertheless there's another opinion this is uh what rashi explained the first opinion by the way is the ran and rashi says sorry misha gil that they will come to a third of their being ripe to eat how can you how can you determine a third of them being ripe a third of the pro of the of the weight i can understand okay i have a grape i have an olive i have a lugame whatever a bean or whatever okay so a third of the of the weight i understand but a third of their them being ripe how can i know that okay this is one opinion that it's ripe now how would you know that so he says how do you know when it comes to food in shabbat you know there's a a point when you determine when you can cook food before shabbat i mean in order to cook food on shabbat it has to be cooked already prior to shabbat so there's also different opinions a third of it half of it so here it's a little bit easier to measure because let's say i'm cooking a cake and i know that cake will take an hour to bake so if i'm talking about a third okay so there's no 20 minutes then i know it's a third baked but here how can i know with an olive oil with a with a grape that it's a third reach to its uh that it's edible okay let's continue let's see what he says and he gives us the the the source in chapter one when it's talking about grain then it's a third of its size so you take a little uh one of the grains when it reached a third of the size so we have three opinions a third of the weight a third of its size and a third of it being ripe is putting in parentheses and then in grain a third of being ripe and a third of their size will come at the same time in in nevertheless so he says if all this happens in it then it has of course he's saying at the side note when we're talking about grain it's talking about all five grains and kitniyot lugames are not considered fruit they're considered vegetables shazam that their seeds are eaten exactly the same way which we're referring to the third of being ripe and he's adding to that also he includes that with you know the sunflower seeds and the grains it's called hummus and the the way it's called in the mission it's called himta but uh the iron generation they call it hummus so he also says that will be like lugames so basically saying in other words that we're talking here about a third and again there's difference of opinions we'll conclude what we go by but but there are three options when it's talking about the third third of the of the weight third of that being ripe third of the size okay let's continue and in the end we conclude everything but that's the the definition for grapes olives lugames and grains all five grams including sunflower seeds and hummus that it has to reach a third if it reached a third in the snachmita then it will have kadusachevit okay next pero tarilan how is about fruit because now we talked about one type here we're talking about fruit and he says now if you remember in one of the previous classes i explained what means ghantu because i really didn't find any word in it in english that that the the the hanita what does it mean is the point turning point what we just had now for smart it's called the season of massot so let's see what he says if they had hanita during the year of shemitah okay i'll explain more in depth what it means hanita now let's define what's hanita yes referring to rambam rambam okay and this will be a to fruit will be now in tu bishwat what we had this point is considered the shlich the third or when it reached to its maturity of what we said before that how do i know what's a third so he says ah the third that i don't know weight i can find but the third reached to its maturity that's referring to the what's called onatama the season of masel which is now tu b'shvat okay but that's one opinion here's another opinion it says yes the other opinion says that when the fruits started growing when the flower falls and you start seeing the fruit that's why i said that most of the citrus that we're eating now was grown last year because when does the fruit fall last year when do you start seeing that little bud it's not really a bud because the bud will be for the flower the little bowl of the fruit the seed last year that's called khanita so if the hanita was during the sweet which means when am i going to eat the fruit next year which means that in the eighth year we'll have to do shower schmidt okay so this is the case when it's talking about the fruit whenever well let's read it again uh when the flower falls off and the fruit starts showing when that happened in the shavit then it will have kodu so i'm already deriving from that that the oranges that we eat now they they can do last year they don't have to do shacks and when uh one of the oranges that did grow this year will be eaten next year so next year when you eat oranges and lemons and the grapefruit and all the citrus then it will have to eat next and this is also for us to conclude so what is that third that they're talking about when the fruit reaches the onata massrot which means that how do we calculate the masrot it starts from a tube but that's for fruit not for other stuff next i know it's very complicating all these laws and a little bit confusing so but you know i think what we're going to do and i explained that when we started learning first let's learn the halakhah once we cover the alaha i think we'll do a few classes that are going to be simple classes you know how to just deal with it next year how about vegetables so first section we talked about grain and we talked about legumes and we talked about what else we talked about olives grapes hummus and sunflower seeds next we talked about fruit now let's see about vegetables so when we're talking of vegetables this also includes a food for animals and he includes india rakote yara coated vegetables he also includes my neighbor samir parkhim all the types of herbs and spices and flowers that they have smells and scent she's because he says that uh all the the bushes and flowers that have a scent it's considered the vegetable it's not considered a fruit even though there might be an argument here but nevertheless he sends us to to a few sources and he says no the the the smelling flowers and herbs they're not considered also a bushes now he says okay now that we have the definition so vegetables and flowers with scent and all sorts of herbs were sent what we called mine that they were picked most of them might have thorns and and sometimes the thorns will be dried much earlier so it says if the thorns were dried in the sixth year often in a way that the thorn is not really connected to the plant and you just go like that it will fall and they could do it they don't have to charge it's not the tosses it doesn't matter when you pick it is rather the the when the vegetable is ripe when you pick it when it's ripe okay because for example sometimes you would pick avocados even though avocado might be argue if it's a food or vegetable some call it a vegetable but but just one example remaining you pick up pick the avocado it's not ripe yet you have to wait another two weeks so when when is it edible when are we determining the time of the picking or the time when the fruit is ready so the gospel says i don't care when you picked it i care when the fruit is ready so sometimes you can pick something and it's not ready to be eaten so he says when he stopped growing nicole mccomb nevertheless gambled even for that opinion of the toast fought yet how is about when the vegetable finished on the sixth but was taken was uh picked on the seventh it can be onions kadosh wheat rabbanan it still has dusha chivit but it won't be the right it's gonna be the rabbanam so basically saying when it comes to vegetables is when you time when you pick it in the year of shavit you pick it in the year of shavit it will have to do it now next year how is about vegetables that grown on the year of shemitah the nick de fubusha nashville but they were picked in the eighth year for the first opinion nigma or if they finish their being ripe on the eighth year according to the thoughts they'll have to situate also in the in the eighth year and he says or they'll finish their kudusa when the new crops the new vegetables will be planted or by hanukkah of the eighth year so after hanukkah they lose already their uh so this already comes to tell us that we have to be very cautious in the eighth year also with everything the rules of shemitah next i was about a talk we spoke about it two classes ago because they talked that we bought this sukkot grew on the c on the sixth year doesn't have to do wheat but next year in sukkot the truck that we're going to buy next year the guru this year so i thought of next year now as it says how is about a talk that that the fruit came out in the sixth year but it was picked on the seventh year a nokia ship to be it exactly what we spoke two classes ago it doesn't have kudu of chevit it has kedusha of uh after you say the bahamit that you can't just throw it but it doesn't have to show it uh okay next the yeshum rim the rambam says up until now is the hazones and many others that says that if it grew on the sixth year but was picked on the seventh doesn't have to be but rambam disagrees and says says that it does have kudus and many go by this opinion that even though the throg grew on the sixth year picked on the seventh year it will still have to dusha which i really it doesn't really matter because you treat it with gudusha of a religious article uh then either either way you you deal with it with kudusa now the hazon ish continues and says how is about when the throg grew on the year of shemitah af alphishin even though it would be picked on the eighth year eight it will have to be so next year all that game will have to change everybody agrees on that now why is this important to know because of how how is about if a person now um you know people they're like how do you call like you know dealers like merchants they buy a hundred little game they sold 60. they're left with 40. okay so okay i'm not going to sell it to that rock i'll eat it as a jam so now it doesn't have to show of a mitzvah but it has to do with it you can just throw it so if you decide to become a truck dealer next year you have to make sure you know the rules next pero tadao all the citrus fruits they grow they grew the chanita when the flower falls off and the little fruit shows on the sixth year the nick fubasmita that were picked on the schnatchmeter which is really what we're eating now and um they don't have the chevits like i told you before which means that most of what you eat this year that is citrus doesn't have to do shachivits so it's very important to know how is about khan tuba shmita how is it what about all the ones that will grow this year venice all the one that grew this year but will be picked next year because of shimbuku so next year all the citrus fruits will have to do with next year therefore all the citrus fruits that are picked in the winter of the snachmita they don't have the shower should we eat on them and the ones that will be picked next year we'll have that's important to remember because the the peels have to can just throw this year when you're eating orange you can throw the peels no problem you don't have to dispose it next year we're going to have that problem and next all the flowers they have a smell lenient achieved i mean we spoke about it in previous classes do they have to eat or not i just bought flowers to my wife the ones the ones who grow on bushes that they have the same statue of uh the same status of a tree tata it's when the bud comes out that's what we'll determine and that will determine if it's coming from the year of shemitah or not from the year of shemitah therefore in roses for example some of them they they bud the year before when it comes to regular flowers what we put in a vase for building then they will have uh they will come out in the time of shmitah so now you have to make a definition are you buying it for beauty if you're just buying it for your beauty there's no problem it's like any year but if you're buying it for the sake of smelling them that already has douche of eat and you have to treat it like any type of fruit or a tree that has achieved and the last but not least all the bushes they have smell the popular one will be of course at the same will be myrtles yes mccoy there is a doubt we don't know what will determine if it has not met or not therefore you have to be very careful with myrtles in the seventh year to treat it like it has to show chevit because we don't really know so when it and and i'm just giving one example out of many myrtles some will also use other and i'm not talking about things like rosemary and oregano and stuff like that i'm talking about a bush that has a scent so the common one will be uh myrtle hadas but there are others i don't know all the brands all the types but we have a doubt we don't really know therefore you have to be very cautious and have uh from the doubt treat it like it has to do xiaomi so with this we conclude this uh section to just to recap real quick we need to determine when the fruit vegetables grains leukemias flowers anything when is it reached to its maturity to know if it has to be it on it or not because in the next classes we're going to learn how do you dispose it well what do you do with it i have now a lot of oranges what do i do with the peels what do i do with oranges sometimes you buy fruit and vegetables some of them rot in the in the refrigerator you're allowed to throw them you're not allowed to throw them so now we made a definition when because if i now bought potatoes okay now we're already into the winter but let's say in november you bought potatoes and he says but better they were already ready and ripe in the in the sixth year yeah but we just defined that if they were according to the thought spot if they were right on the sixth year but picked on the seventh year of them we'll still have the duchamp but how is it about if it was picked on the seventh on the sixth year in the summer and he only bought it two months later three months later so all this is to determine if it has to do sweet on it or not if it doesn't have dusha tv then you can throw it can do whatever you want with it you can sell it do trade with it but if it has to stretch wheat then if you remember we can't trade you can't sell it as a business and when you need to throw it you need to dispose it like duchaichevic and then we'll learn in already in a different class [Music] you
