Shnayim Yomi - Shemini - Shishi - #6

[Music] this aliyah is a bit long it discusses kosher animals the domestic animals the wild animals kosher fish swim in the water the kosher birds that fly and obviously the insects that uh creepy crawlies that cool on the ground some of them might be might be kosher the end of the aliyah also talks about it so let's get a little more detail the torah begins to tell the people to eat speak to the people this is the way this is the kosher animals that you can eat call mafresit the animal has the number one we're talking here about real animals they have to be split hooves rashi explains that some animals have half split hooves on the top they're split but on the bottom they're connected that's not good enough it has to be refreshing split on the top and split on the bottom as well split hooves completely that's condition number one condition number two they have to also be chewing that's cut they're cut that's what we call in english where the food it processes the food twice it goes down comes back up they process it again if an animal has these two conditions kosher to eat if an animal only has one not kosher and of course if it has none and the pasuk actually describes that there are four animals in the world which have one and not the other the first one is the camel describes in pasuk it choose its cut but it doesn't have split hooves then it goes on to say shafan okay chiffon here there's a discrepancy what the name of this animal uh people usually say shafan is the rabbit it's not a rabbit the art school gives a word for it they use the word hyrax h-y-r-a-x they say it's not a regular rabbit a regular rabbit has longer ears this is a rabbit family but smaller ears and this chavan basically it again it chooses cut it does not have the split hooves tame the next thing is the arnevit and this this is a rabbit or hair article also is not sure the oscar goes on actually to say that we don't really know the difference between these and today uh we're not exactly sure what these things are something from the rabbit family again it chews its cut does not have split hopes and then the famous hazel and this one is different that it has split holes but it doesn't chew its card the famous pig which is of course a suit to eat not only that the rashi points out that the pig sits and crouches with its feet split hooves in front of it to show off as if it's kosher but really it's not kosher at all all other animals not kosher fish says what are you allowed to eat from the water snapir and scales anything that doesn't happens in scales asu has fins and scales birds the pursuit goes on to say that now here you have something interesting there's no shimanine there's no there's no ways to tell what's culture what's not it just goes through by name the non-kosher animal and it lists 20 non-kosher animals the the raven the nesha the the eagle and others another list of 20 names and everything else kosher so that's great for us there's there's many species of birds that are kosher according to this but it says that we're not sure exactly which ones are kosher which ones are not kosher and therefore unless you have a tradition perfectly that this is kosher like chicken and duck things like that you cannot eat it so most birds were not allowed to eat today the ones that we know for sure that yes the pasuk ends off with shed it's health these are little little bugs flies mosquitoes and uh grasshoppers but there are some that you can which ones certain species of grasshoppers there are certain grasshoppers you're allowed to eat the pursuit describes them again here also we don't really have a great tradition about what's mutated and unless you have a good tradition don't eat them at the end of the aliyah we end off with what's called the shratseem the zelech there are certain bugs which have which are they're not kosher to eat but added to not being kosher if you touch them you also become tame and you have to dip in the machine and it lists eight srirachim it is the famous which is a mishna in where it describes the holy the akhbar again we don't really know exactly what these are but if one touches them he becomes tame not only the president of not only a human touches them even a wooden vessel or a baguette or a sock or or a sack any cli which touches these things becomes a man defiled and they need to go into mcveigh but they go into a magnet they wait till evening and then they become tahor [Music] you
