Thou Shall Not Slaughter

We're holding a little bit in middle of the Sugya of Shchita Lavoida. So, I think it's good eye to go and do a part two related to the Shchita Lavoida. That is, it's your duty that the Zohar Hakodesh in Parshas Nasso and this is on daf chof kuf chof dalet amud alef says, quote. So, it's in the context of the Minchas Soitah. That's why it's in Parshas Nasso. It's talking about the Soitah. And it's in the context of the korban that the Soitah used to bring. And the Zohar says as follows, "Hacha is listakla." It's good eye to be mispoinen a little bit in the parsha of the Soitah. Haksiv, the pasuk says, "V'shachat es ben habakar." Right? Where does it say "V'shachat es ben habakar"? So, this pasuk is mentioned in Parshas Vayikra, right? Perek alef, pasuk alef. "V'shachat es ben habakar u'vnei Aharon yakrivu bnei Aharon hakohanim es hadam al hamizbeiach asher pesach Ohel Moed. This is literally when the Torah introduces us to Shchita and to Kabbalah and including the Krivus also Halacha and Zrika. Everything's happening in this one pasuk. Fifth pasuk in Perek Gimmel. It says, "V'shachat es ben habakar." Says the Zohar Hakodesh, "V'shachat" from the fact that the Torah says "V'shachat", we learn from here "Acharon v'lo Kohanim". Someone that is not a Kohain. What's the dikduk? Because it says "V'shachat es ben habakar u'vnei Aharon" and then afterwards it says "V'yakrivu bnei Aharon hakohanim es hadam." So, implying that the Shchita should be done by an Acharon v'lo Kohanim. You ready? The Kohanim also lay b'dina. Because a Kohain is not allowed to shacht. And the reason he's not allowed to shacht is because Shchita involves dinim. A begin layafkinahu aser bay. And if he's going to get involved in dinim, he's going to be poigaim the place that his shairus is rooted in, which is a place of chesed. And it's for that reason the shochet that's been a boca is ocher of the love Kahana the Kahana also in Medina a cohen is not allowed to do shita. Rabbi Akiva Eiger wrote a sefer called Mitpachas Seforim on the Zohar Hakodesh. If you know, you know. Some very sharp hagoyis. And on this Zohar right here in Parshas Nasso, he's maflic and he says that everybody knows shita is shair b'zar. And everyone knows the deyak that the Zohar Hakodesh is making and that is the shochet that's ben haboker lifnei Hashem and only afterwards they krive u'vnei Aharon hakohanim u'vnei Adam. And we learn from there mikabel elah is when there's a mitzvah skuna but shita is shair b'zar. But they tell me the Kahana also in Medina that a cohen is not allowed to shacht begin the layafka minahu as the ocher bay. He says it's kineged divrei Chazal and he says it's something that's really sorech iyun gadol u'mitzliach. What's poshut shat? How could you have a Zohar Hakodesh that seems to be so blatantly connected something that we know from Chazal? Now, the truth is if you ask someone, Rabbi Akiva Eiger said it's kineged Chazal, which Chazals is he referring to? So poshut, I don't know. Shita is shair b'zar. It's kosher b'zar. But that it has to be dafka by a cohen or such makor anywhere. There's no such Gemara. But I saw the Rabbi Akiva Eiger in his Nitzotzei Zohar which is the Mesores Hashas equivalent thereof that he was to write on the Zohar Hakodesh. So he brings kidarkei bakodesh maro makem after maro makem to bring out where exactly is it that this Zohar Hakodesh is kineged Chazal? And really, I think it's kedai to go through some of his maro makems. It's actually interesting. The first maro makem that he brings is a Targum Yonasan. He says take a look at the Targum Yonasan ben Uziel. In the beginning of Parshas Metzora. So, Parshas Metzora So, the Cohen commanded says Targum Yonasan The Cohen should instruct the butcher. The and then the should check. And says Rav at first glance this Targum Yonasan is a little bit of a kodesh. He's teaching that the Cohen should command It almost sounds like the Cohen himself can't do the shita. So, he says that the message I think this Targum Yonasan with the Targum Yonasan teach that not that the Cohen himself should do the shita. It almost sounds like the the is not Cohen. It's a Cohen to somebody else. Again, it's not a clue. But a little bit of a something that's maybe a little more alcohol on him. I'll be the sire. As to the sire being connected to the sire. So, I'm just going to mention seven coins. All fast. From the first we spoke about at length. In yesterday's daf. With the message She never because the message And immediately after is the same message. Says the message was looking to do he said Cohen find the Cohen let him come small small saw that the oil was trying to find the coin to do it he said why do you need a coin? small didn't say that a coin can't do it he said what makes that you have to find the coin we must not have a coin but not that it's awesome so from the fact that small says it's very very that that would have been okay for a coin to do the coin the second matter of him is Ryan Hamner in Aika come Ryan Hamner the Ryan Hamner got up he said a hundred and coin get up from your slumber the mid back cuz you have to turn around you have to go you have to all the different animals that are needed for the of the Malcolm said my ghost but it's a Zoya that says this is a and a coin and to drop you have to get up you have to do this there's you were showing me the coin para dollar I love by the way like all of my glasses right when you come to the table with a stack of it's all just prices that's my Michelle is but it's a Michelle and it's para dollar base Rabbi who small Rabbi who said the name of small the they used to teach the hill heater >> You want to know how they got paid? They used to get paid from the but what were they teaching the they were teaching the they were saying if they wanted to they have a right to do by you rather parishioner base Zion by you but there's discussing the that the sector of discusses and that is that we know the relationship that you didn't have with meat when they were in the mid bar was different than the relationship that they would have with meat from the time they entered small kiss rather be small rather be a keeper what exactly that relationship was that was also to eat time in the mid bar but said no they didn't want to let them when they were in the mid bar however when they were in the mid bar they didn't have to do if they wanted to eat but they wanted to just kill that that's but if they wanted to eat meat in any way they would let it eat it so it's in that setting 20 20 small said the fish is in the mid bar in the mid bar she in the mid bar they weren't allowed to at all the zero so the title warned them she that they should bring that to the my goals I have another about you parishioner have show you this one's also classic rather be my goals this isn't a magic in shira shirim it's gimel you dollar it's going on the he named me shishim south of me give us cool on the long day so what does it mean that all these are here rather be rather be able to tell me the it's a friend tell me the show melamdim Kohanim Hilchos Shchita v'Kabala, Zrika u'Kmitza. It's referring to the Kohanim that are learning, they're the Yachuzei Cheref, cuz they're holding on to their knives. A Mishnah Maseches Yoma daf chof hei amud alef. We know that there were different goralos that used to happen every single day in the Beis Hamikdash. Pais Hashaini, what was the second goral? Mi Shochek, Mi Zoreik, Mi Medashin Mizbeiach Hapnimi, Mi Medashin Hasamanim u'Mi Maleh Mavon Lakavesh, etc. etc. But Mi Shochek, Mi Shochek, who was lining up for the goral? It was Kohanim. It's clear the Mishnah says all the Kohanim used to come together and they would make a goral. They would say Mi Shochek. Zera Kodesh says that a Kohen can't shochek. It's an offen Mishnah. Mi Shochek, this is the last one we're going to mention and that is it's an offen a pasuk, said Rav Reuven Margolies. It's in Divrei Hayamim Beis, pasuk chof tes, perek chof tes, psukim chof gimmel chof dalet. Shame of us, we didn't know this, right? So the pasuk says as follows. Vayagishu, I'm sarcastic. Vayagishu es seirei hachatos lifnei hamelech v'hakol. They brought this seirei hachatos in front of the melech and in front of the kol. Vayismchu yedeihem aleihem and they did smicha. Vayishchatu hakohanim and then the Kohanim went ahead and they did shchita. It's an offen a pasuk. Divrei Hayamim Beis, Kapitel chof tes, pasuk chof gimmel and pasuk chof dalet. The bottom line is, says Rav Reuven Margolies in his Netziv Tzion Ein Sham there's a lot more makomos as well. There in chof, we counted seven makomos where you see clearly that it was okay. The Gemara Brachos amud alef amud beis, where Shmuel says lamah lo chada durei basar kohein mishcha? Why you making yourself meshuga to go basar kohein? Derech Eretz Hamelucha, says in Parshas Eikev, Acharon Kohanim Kum Shinosra. Get up l'midbach tehorah u'bein u'bein u'bein u'bein u'bein u'bein u'bein u'bein u'bein u'bein We have Rebbe Shmuel's memory in the Medrash in Parshas Acharei Mos. The fish oil used to last through the time of the Mikdash, that she just Rebbe Shmuel used to say the fish oil used to last through the time of the Mikdash. Korbanos say I'm not Kohanim. The Kohanim Shoychech the Mikvah. We have the Medrash Shir Hashirim. Where Rebbe Elazar ben Azarya in the name of Shmuel said, "What does it mean that the Shishim Giborim Kulom Achuzei Cherev?" from the Kohanim Hilchos Shchita. We have the Pias Hashulchan. And we have a Meforsha Pasuk in Vayishchatu Hakohanim. So the truth is it's very very Tamuah. What Pasuk Shani Zaya? And Emes is Kama Kumas in the Shulchan Very very Shver Azoy. Very very Shver Azoy to be Meyashev. But there's one Maram Makom the flow we spoke about a little bit in the last Machsa. And it's brought down in the Chidushei Shmuel. And this is a Goyishe Lashon in Maseches Menachos. Daf Yud Tes Amud Bais. And he brings it in the name of his brother Rebbe Tzalah. So the Chidushei Shmuel was Rebbe Shmuel Hakohain MiVilna. And he had a a brother whose name was Rebbe Tzalah Kohain MiVilna, who was a Goyin Oylam in A lot of the Torah we know from the Chidushei Shmuel we know because uh from Rebbe Tzalah Kohain MiVilna we know because the Chidushei Shmuel quotes him a lot. But he talks about him how he was so much greater than him and he was the biggest Goyin in Lita. That Varem you don't But either way in the end of the Hagah in Menachos Yud Tes Amud Bais he says as follows. The Hagah the Omer the Kohain also learn This that the Zaya Kohain says that it's also for Kohain to do Shchita. Ratzah Lomar the Kohain the Bigdei Kehuna also Shchita. What it means is that a Kohain is not allowed to do Shchita with Bigdei Kehuna. You know why? Because Keiv on the street the kosher bizarre being that street is kosher bizarre have a way can lion if a coin is going to wear big day corner street bizarre street like the says in the and so many other places. So therefore comes out of the coins going to wear the big day corner at that point what's coming out? What's coming out is wearing big day corner but I like and if that's the case he would get Marcus and can't do something that's going to get you into Marcus and that's what the is. The means not that a coin can do he can't do wearing the big day corner of a God damn on the claim that the other that's going to be okay the whole this and that he said the I know mission the below big day corner because if he's not wearing the big day corner he's a the aim big day aim corner because if he's not wearing his that's considered a coin the coin and that's why he's called an and the says that it has to be that what does it mean it means that that if the coin's going to go ahead and the coin's going to be wearing the big day corner it's going to be a problem. If he's not wearing the big day corner that's when he's an and if that's when he's an that's going to be okay. The mirror cast of a the theory of the this is what the brings from his brother the town. But I'll tell you in English for I saw on service and the proof of my goal is in his by the way brings this my mocking for a claim of and he says take a look in the to the which is a on the you say you say this at the end of the top so the top is the regarding and at the end of a very long regarding so the Bal Ephraim, he brings the according cuz we mentioned the beginning the Zohar Hakodesh is in parshas Naso cuz it's in the context of the Zohar of the Zohar. And he says "I see the hair a mashak ro I see the maletz shnas tough resh nun tes number 115." So the Bal Ephraim he says he saw in a journal that somebody wanted to be meyashev the the Zohar by saying that when the Zohar says a kohen is not allowed to do shchita it means a kohen baal mum. This is what this yid said in this journal. And the Bal Ephraim says that it's not emes and he says it's clear to me that this yid never saw the Zohar inside. He never saw it. Da ani amar "Didvar bitel me'ikar v'lo ra'ah bifnim sefer haZohar." He didn't see the Zohar. He says cuz look at the Zohar. The Zohar says the reason that the kohen is not allowed to do it. The reason the kohen is not allowed to do it is because "kimahu asah d'achiv." It's because he's going to be poigim in the in the shorish of chesed which is where his neshama is rooted. And you're getting involved in shchita which is din and therefore this is not something he's allowed to do. At the very very end he has an arichus and then he says "Uvaze yipal gam kein mashak asah d'achiv ben Yishai yeish l'hadvar haZohar ayin sham b'shem achiv kohen tzadok that at the end of the day it's a very nice pshat that he wants to say that what does it mean "achor aval af kano"? It means that if other kohens are allowed to do it but he can't be wearing the bigadim. It doesn't fit with this pshat. The kahana asulah b'dina begin to "kimahu asah d'achiv." And if that's what the reason is there's no way it can stand as a pshat. So Rav Amram Gaon says "I am the safer Pirush haYerei." You'll see there "ha'orah achor aval af kano." By the way who exactly is the Bal Ephraim? It's more heimish than we realize maybe. So the Mechaber's name was Rav Avraham Abish Schiff. He was from Minsk. He was Litvish Gadol. Rav Avraham Abish Schiff and he wrote and he wrote this period on the Yoreh De'ah and this is his order that he asks on Reb Tzalach Vilna. Now this is really way above my pay grade, but I just didn't understand 100% what the order is. His order is that Reb Tzalach Vilna's timing that Cohen is allowed to do Shchita, but he has to be an but he can't be wearing the Bigdei Kehunah. So as long as he takes off the Bigdei Kehunah, now he's going to be a ZAR because of his Mancha Mareh Bigdei Kehunah Mareh and Bigdei Mareh and Kehunah Mareh. So he says it's very nice chat, but that's how the ZAR is the ZAR is begin to ask him the order right because he can't be by the order again I don't know, but I think Reb Tzalach Vilna for sure saw the ZAR inside. I also think that he would probably tell you that he's wearing the Bigdei Kehunah so that's when he's in the Sharis, but if he's not wearing the Bigdei Kehunah now then it's like this again I'm saying it not to bring up this point because you know we've spoken over the years and Hashem this Gemara is coming up next week so we're going to have an opportunity to delve back into it a little bit, but we've spoken many times over the years the famous Rabbeinu Tam that the Mordechai brings in Maseches Gittin where the Rabbeinu Tam was sitting with one of his Talmidim and his Talmid was a Cohen. And his Talmid was a Cohen and Rabbeinu Tam asked him if he could please pour some water for him and there was another Talmid that was there how could he asked Rabbeinu Tam how could the Rabbeinu ask a Cohen to pour water? It's enough in the Yerushalmi if someone has any help from a Cohen he's going to be mild. And Rabbeinu Tam told him you're worried about me being with a Cohen nowadays B'zman Bigdei Kehunah Ein Bigdei Ein Kehunah. And Rabbeinu Tam was there against a Maaseh we spoke at once what the Ksav Sofer found in the Ksav from Abba Mari from his father the Ksav Sofer regarding a Cohen Sh'machal K'dei K'dei Machal Ein K'dei Machal T'ninam K'dei Cohen right when he's wearing his Bigdei he has one thing when he's not wearing his begadim, he has another din that ties into the kidusha. Mamish not enough. But one thing you see from the turkin of the varte for Rabbeinu Tam, and that is there's a mussar that the whole cheftz of kehuna really is b'zman sheb'gdei maleh ein kunasin maleh. But if it's ein b'gdei maleh ein kunasin maleh. It's so poshit to the baal tanefes ha'eim that while the kohen is not wearing the bigdei kehuna, that means shorish nishmas is achas b'midas ha'chesed. I don't know what all this means. But the bottom line is there is an idea of b'zman sheb'gdei maleh kunasin maleh not only with regards to the halachos of kashrus, not only with regards to the dinim of machshavah b'gadin. Avei tz'negiah Rabbeinu Tam shtol the tzut the all dinei kehuna b'zman azah. On some level there is an idea of b'zman sheb'gdei maleh kunasin maleh. Either way, this is the desire the mitpachas swaring, the ruv of my golis is maran hakoin is like only he could in terms of all the different aris and the k'tukim which is mashma like desires and the brilliant ha'arah from Rabbeinu Tzalach kohen mi'Vilna that it could be all desire means is that when a kohen does sh'chitah, he has to be an acharah. He can't be wearing the bigdei kehuna. Because if he's wearing the bigdei kehuna, then you're going to have the Rambam and then the hilchos k'layim that a kohen that wears the bigdei kehuna sh'lomo sh'as avodah is like and you're going go into the T'shuvos Chasam Sofer and you're going to have sh'muel amachas, right? Why was sh'muel aluchim b'fnei Rabbeinu? It was a frush asurah the kashrus of the atzachaim, right? The kashrus of the binyan Ariel and parshas Vayechi. All the raid that we spoke about yesterday, all that raid, said Rabbeinu Tzalach kohen mi'Vilna, is gufa p'shat in this because of all that Torah that a kohen takah can't wear the bigdei kehuna sh'as sh'chitah because a kohen that wears the bigdei kehuna sh'lomo sh'as avodah is like and that is all desire meant. So you're bringing me ra'ayah that a kohen could do sh'chitah. Well, then a kohen could do sh'chitah, but he could do sh'chitah on the bigdei kehuna. A payas hasheini, you have to teach him the laws of Shulchan Aruch. Yeah, whole Pesach and even a cohen is going to get up. He's not going to wear the big day corner, maybe but the bottom line is all these minor things the cohen is going to do it on the street. On the big day corner, on the big day corner it's okay. And the reason is because when he's not wearing his big day corner, when he's not wearing his big day corner, then ain cohen is allowed to and could be on such a level even regards to this above our pay grade in and that the desire of cohen is is really based on. Where is the biggest cohen and this is the most of them. Yeah, but it's not a big day of cohen but ain't big day of cohen could be even different. At that point ain't cohen allowed to. This concludes part two and there will be a part three.
