Thou Shalt Not Cook a Kid in Milk, or a Lamb in Butter

The topic of this next peri is the laws of so we gave a tiny bit of an introduction to in the but I think it's now to delve in a little bit more specifically into the of the of [snorts] so it doesn't say anywhere in the together. What it does say in the Torah is you not let a cook a goat in its mother's milk. And the terra doesn't say it once. The terra doesn't say it twice. The Torah says it's from learned that not only are you not let it cook you now let it eat now let and it's not only a with its mother's milk but it's true for all of and it's from the three mentions of this and the we know this of the if you think about the from autra perspective I think it's fascinating the questions the observations literally jump off the page number one you're not let together yet the never said that you're not let to eat [snorts] of together the said three times and from the extra mentions we know that not only you're not allowed to cook together but you're also not let together but at the end of the The Tory never said, "Thou shalt not eat bos." The Tyra said, "Thou shalt not eat. Thou shalt not eat. Thou shalt not eat." The Tyra said, "Thou shalt not eat the thou shalt not eat the all the things that eat." The Tyra says, "Thou shalt not eat." The Tyra never said, "Thou shalt not eat." At first glance, what's additionally why does the say it only with regards to the gi that the reason the Mishna says is because you would have thought from being maybe it's only the goat but as it relates to all other animals and I would have thought maybe not that is going to be but from a perspective why does the say also why does it say with its mother's milk. Was its mother's milk after doing anything? Now that a cheeseburger whether the cheese was made from the animals mother's milk or was made from the animals mother's milk. Here's another question. The does not mention the ini which is the primary where the talks about all the latter part of it doesn't say it over there. It doesn't say it there. Where does it say it? It says it in paratim. It says in a paris and then the third time it says in a par. Now to be fair in par it is mentioned in the context of in fact the beginning of the is right and that's how we end that but in par in there it is lumped together with but in par which is the parish of it's not mentioned it's even more than The Tyra mentions it twice in terra mentions it in paras and then literally two paras later in parisa which if you add that to the one in par that's the three mentions that we have why would the mention it twice in succession so close to each other in such close proximity why mention it three times three time how many things say in the three times not a lot Three three times. Why would the per mention this uh three times? Also, you haven't noticed the context in which it's mentioned in parishes and parisa. It's the identical context. It's talking about the It's the same exact thing. Right? All three times it ends in but again the two times it's mentioned in it's mentioned in the context of the REGAL AND IN THE SAME AS THE WHAT IN THE WORLD IS going on over here it's I don't think there's a that's more again we know what is without learning the peric this is not a spoiler alert if it is you got to go back to we know Jews not let eat meat and milk together right this is alf doesn't say anyway and milk together. It says with all these different at first glance it's it's really really something that from perspective is hard to make sense of. Truth is if you take a look at the nothing fancy just open up the sculus and get to work. If you take a look at the rishim, it's very very clear that all the rishim without fail maybe with the exception of rash, but all the were very very bothered by this that if you go through the you're going to find so many different in terms of what the of the is just to bring out the point a little bit And mysteriously, but they all say that the reason the said of the laugh, not the buser of the laugh, but the laugh is because for a person to take an animal and cook it in its mother's milk is mid. It's the sakarius. In fact, all three of these great paranzra of which is all based on that is supposed to be civil and you're supposed to be sensitive even to the and as a result it's you're going to go ahead and you're going to That's a because it's in the same vein. Don't go ahead and cook the goat in its mother's milk. And that is what the is coming to teach me. The shik is not coming to say don't eat meat and milk together. That's in the but in the what the is saying is don't be anx is not just like right that's where it is because these are or it is a that's related less to and it's related more to has to And he has to be sensitive even to the it's related to and it's related to the idea of in fact adds he says that why is it that in the put it in the context of the regalum I think it's very simple because during the people used to sh a lot of animals right it was very it's very festive you're shocking a lot of animals that you're shocking a lot of animals so it's FOR THAT REASON THAT'S when it's It's appropriate to you know tell me what is this reminiscent of where does it say we made a big deal about this in par right before the parish of the dear too right it's mentioned right before the parish of the why is it mentioned over there again speak out because in the context of the mayad when there's a lot of cabbon that are being brought so you have to know what to be sensitive of but fraud you know when there's so much happening so you may tend to be a little less sensitive So therefore the needs to warn you and the says you know be careful today's the day you're going to shack all these right has to say right because time that's when you have to be a little bit more careful in that same vein says the that's why it's being mentioned in the context that's why it's being mentioned in the context of that's why it's being mentioned the context of the regal another mahal in the in terms of understanding understanding of is in the says that I believe it's he brings that he thinks it's like the but he says if you want a I'll tell you the best I can come up with the says that that the way a woman when she's nursing produces milk the dam which would have been the dam is we know but obviously when the dam becomes at that point it's not a problem says I believe that when is cooked together with basar there's some chemical reaction that happens to the where it gets the traits the latent traits of dam that are hidden inside of it and it brings out the dam and that's why the Torah said don't cook meat and milk together and then eat it because if you're going to do that you're going violate the dam. This is what says why is he mentioned in the context of the regalum says because we know that if a person eats it creates a we spoke so much about this in the beginning of the right it creates a male and on that's a time with a of in the world when the used to be and they used to literally on some level so in order to be able to tap in for your antennas to be sharp so you need to make sure you have no timal so it's during that time that the Tyra gives this extra warning, this extra and says because you're going to reinvigorate the that's inside and you're GOING TO END UP BEING over the if you take a look at the this is a mitzvah the says that if you want to understand take a look at what I wrote on the I took a look over there the discuss uses how one of the ideas of Kish was to somehow mess around with the order of the world. Created the world with a certain order. Limu is mentioned several times in the story of creation, right? Hashem wanted everything to be in a in a certain order. Theashin used to take two things that are supposed to be, you know, traveling on independent tracks and they would merge them together. And that says the is part and parcel of ancient kish. This is part and parcel of what they used to do. And when a person messes around with the law and order of the world, what he's essentially doing is he's somehow messing with the way wants the world to operate. That's the of because it literally it alters it causes nature to deviate and to go off track. But anytime you take two minim and you merge them, you're infringing on this concept of kish. And he says that's why the mashin used to love to do this. He says that's why the ter makes a big deal about not wearing shnesses. Who cares if you wear se and pisham together. It's because sear is supposed to be sear and pisham is supposed to be pisham. You're not supposed to put them together. That's why you're not supposed to sew two seeds that are different together. That's why you're not supposed to mate two different types of animals. And that's why you're not supposed to eat. So it says cooking taking these two independent uh things and merging them together that's already getting involved in this concept of and it's for that reason this is something that's that's very very if you take a look at the you won't believe what you're going to see. You know what the says one of the he says why is it that what says There's no way to reconcile this with doesn't make sense. meaning. So why does or what does the term mean when it says he says the word bishel means mature right it means that it's not cooking cooked the peris but they're fully ripened they're complete they're in this uh complete stage of state of maturation says the what the means when it says it says time and you have to bring carbonus you need a lot of animals. You're going to have an animal and you're going to say, you know, I'm not going to shuck this animal now. Let me wait till the animal is a little older. Let me wait till it's more mature. It'll be more appropriate to go. Let me wait until it stops nursing from its mother. Says the don't wait until your is until it's fully mature until after it completed nursing its mother. No, you should go ahead and bring it as a carbon right now if you need it as a carbon says the that's why it's in the same as the as SOON AS IT STARTS to be immediately you don't say let me wait until it's this big fancy watermelon no you take it right now and in the same exact vein talk about the truth is this says I found in But you know I found it in the paris not in fact learns about he says no it's it's but in from what he wrote in in [snorts] parish and all of a sudden he throws out the I think it's because couldn't understand why the ter would have to talk to me twice in we know why the ter to me twice and thrice but Why would the terror tell me a second time? So the said the first the first time the terror mentions it. Come on. We're pushing our look over here. Oh, but the second time already there I could hear it. The truth is if you take a look at the infus also not in parl I think the is but if you take a look listen to what he says also a big a man is not let him marry so if a man dies and he leaves over ammon and she was a man she's in the middle of nursing so she's not married, right? Remember the we had some rabbites from the used to say that he never passed about because he was always afraid. He was afraid to get involved because there's different claws that were said about this. But the bottom line is don't cook in a pot that your friend cooked in. Don't marry your friends. As long as which is the child needs her mother's milk, his mother's milk. If a child is nursing, then don't go ahead and be. In other words, that's a kino. It's a euphemism. Don't go ahead and marry her. Don't marry a woman that's nursing a child. Not a not a not a it's not even bishop. Now, where does the task say again? Because it's bothering. Why is the telling to me a second time? It must be there's another to be had over here. But now is running off course that in the these are the saying that doesn't have anything to do with the love of perhaps the most famous in the is the where he talks about all these things where he discusses the mitzvah and the ra over there says I don't know for a fact imagine the raises I don't know for a fact right there's like a mirror the ram he says but I will tell you what my gut is telling me my gut is telling me that once upon a time when the used to convene and when they used to get together specifically [snorts] on their yamim they would take a goat and they would cook it in maybe their mother's milk and this must have been some form of pagan worship and the is talking to the yidden and it's telling the I don't want you to engage in the avoid of the pagans and THEREFORE DON'T DO THIS NOW WHERE or when did the pagans do it they did and they used to do it on their holidays. That's why when the talks about you're going to be so then that the says oh you remember the way they used to be those pagans they used to take a goat and they would cook it in their mother's milk you should not do that but it's mentioned in the context of the says the ra now the ra says I don't know this for a fact and in fact the raom adds to that he says I didn't find it in any of the books of the sabah. So who was the sabah? So these were the desire that talks a lot about in the remember on we talked about the book nabatian agriculture which believe it or not somehow survived some uh 11th or 12th century uh Arabic translation of it. But the bottom line is the Ram says that he had the book and he read it and when he read the book he understood a lot of the because he was able to see some of the pagan customs and some of these what exactly they were referring to. So the says I went through you know those right the says and every book that was on the topic that was written in Arabic he read but the says that I read that those books and I didn't find any mention of this he says but I'm tell you what this is my gut says I think that this must have been some pagan custom and because of that the said truth is if you take a look at the in all three places that the says the says this idea in The Sephora says something beautiful. The Sophernist says that the pagans they used to go ahead and they would uh cook a goat in its mother's milk or something like that. And the reason they did it was cuz they believed that it would cause their peris to grow better that if you want your peris to grow better, you don't go ahead and get involved in these uh pagan inim. If you want your peris to grow better, you know what you're supposed to do? You're supposed to take and you're supposed to bring it to the like said that's going to give you that wants in his payrise. You know what you're supposed to do and that like said don't get involved in that craziness. It's interesting the says he says it again. So in both times he says it in the context of Paris in par. He says it again there doesn't say a word about Paris. It would work for their behemoths. Why is he talking about behemoths? Cuz this is the one time where it doesn't say it together with what's the context over there. It's embarrassing about all the beah you're not let so again. Oh, so must be because there was an element that it was a school for and there was an element there was a school for cattle. So, as it relates to Paris, as it relates to Mikah, when I'm talking about different animals and different foods that you're allowed to eat, dear, don't engage in this. That's not something that you're supposed to do. But the bottom line is is that if you go through all these uh different it's fascinating how every region is trying to come up with means as opposed to just saying I don't know every child knows that you're not let me together it's theor is to cook the goat and its mother's milk it's from It's related to I mean you have the that says that don't [snorts] wait until the animal gets older before you go ahead and it's related to the is to go ahead and marry a manus wow that there must have been some pagan custom around the times of their festivals where they used to go ahead and do these mices the said this was like a big schooler back in the day schoolers so this was like one of their big schoolers They used to say he gibbi and all of a sudden boom that pis are going to grow and all of a sudden all their cattle is going to multiply and the terrorist telling you don't do that you want a schooler go to the go to the base of mikdash that's where your school is going to be but the bottom line is the bottom line is all these different they're all coming because in the in the there's so many that jump off the page that almost force us to say that the now how each shot answers all the affforementioned cautious that's homework that's way beyond the scope of this rabbi but again just to bring out the general point you know there's one very interesting thing and that is if you open up and you take a look at the what do you think says right is the what do you think says ready don't eat. Don't eat a cheeseburger. That's what says. And by the way, all three places that it says in the says the same thing. And the truth is they're very bothered. If you have the safer parag, and you can take a look, he has [snorts] there. They're all very bothered. They don't understand. I mean that tried so hard to make the work with the they're all saying these it's a fascinating discussion and by the way if you go through and it's also insightful to understanding's job and his in terms of the way things happen but I just want to end with one fascinating postcript and that is I saw in the tish I saw you like this you have to make a beline to you have And by the way, the real place to make the beline is the muim because he has fascinating and this, you know, is going to be a topic. So sure enough, I saw in the back of and it's uh in his he has a whole he brings on top of top of in terms of understanding the and then he brings something fascinating. He says that between the years 1921 and there was a very important archaeological find in Syria. They found tablets that today are known as the yugaric tablets. I hope I'm saying that right. But the Ugaritic tablets and these tablets and the texts on the tablets they trace themselves back to the times of the And there's one line. I'll read it in English because I don't speak fluent ugaritic, but I'll just read it in English. It's literally hieroglyphics, but in English it says as follows. It's talking to the So, it says, it's literally what it say. I can't even read it on the shirt, but it [laughter] says, and it's speaking to it in a very respectful way, and it's telling you, you know, what are you supposed to do when you're going to come and celebrate this? This is what you should do. quote, "Cook a kid in milk, a lamb in butter." Cook a kid in milk, a lamb in butter. Zra of Kasher in 1921, this was like a 20-year excavation, but during that Kufa, they uncovered tablets that said what the Ram felt in his gut. The Ram said, "I don't know this for a fact. I never found this, but this is what used to happen." And this was a pagan Indian. And because it was a pagan Indian, this is what went on. AND HE SAID, "THEY FOUND IT. THE MAMISH have a find." And this mamish it it's sort of it gave credibility to what the herish and the ram what the ram thought cook a kid in milk a lamb in butter which gives tremendous insight into but I'll tell you something very fast a postcript to the postcript and this is also the kasha but it's one per earlier this is emperic where kasha says that it comes out from the ra comes out from the ra with this archaeological uh kick But it comes out from the and these two they held in is related to a des he says if it's related to a desert anomalies that you find in the of that you don't find even with regards to number one is not is not we're learning it's not we just don't get that not right is not yet says why is it are not generally why isn't it we had in today's d you make zer when it comes to when it comes to we'll see more about but you make zer when it comes to what about THE IDEA OF WAITING 6 HOURS BETWEEN what's in that where' that even come from we're going to see it tomorrow's The is going to say that one of them said I am like vinegar the son of wine when I compare myself to my father. He said my father was so who said this my father was so that if he ate meat on a Monday he didn't have a coffee until Tuesday. He says I can't go so far. I weighed misud which by the way this is the mccart to the is it misud or is it six hours the amount of time you usually wait between sudas. But the bottom line is I waited UNTIL THE NEXT WHY would Maruk's father wait a full day. He said what's in that? Like why is he waiting a full day? Right? It's fascinating some of these that you find when it comes to that you don't find anywhere else. He says a little bit more than that. A little bit more than that. It says in the three times, right? We we made it. Why would it say it's three times in the three time? Why does it say three times? Right? You don't find things that it says uh you find so many times. I'm going to tell you what I think is going on over here. I think what's going on over here is and what's going on over here is what's going on over there element and being that it's where you find you find can't even have it. YOU CAN'T COOK IT. It can't be anywhere in sight. CAN'T CREATE IT. THIS is something that's so so severe because of the element to it. If you understand that there's a he then already makes perfect sense. Then he takes it a step further. This this would be a brilliant aside that we don't have time for now. But he says that the two times that the mentions it the says it not only in the par of you know what the right before it is. It's the right. It sounds like it had something to do with the carbon pes something to do with the carbon p we know was he has a brilliant thesis how the whole is the reason you find by and the reason you have a and a all these different things he says he believes it's related to the fact that represents that's what the he says that's where YOU FIND BYT THE ONLY OTHER PLACE IN the world you find [laughter] and you find represents the right remember when we learned we were talking about what's the and the brings the said when it comes to because really the has no but says he believes it's because represents the but the point is represents so next to this YOU HAVE THE BUT IF YOU understand that this is different than THOSE AREAS THEY'RE IN THE PARISH of this was not this is and if you understand that IT'S THAT OPENS UP A WHOLE NEW that's why we talk about it right away in that's why it's mentioned right away again in you have a why the term mentions over and over and over again. That's never going to be a kasha because that way we know says right the two things that are all the mitzvah are always being throughout the I found we'll end with this. I found that there was a yid a tremendous tremendous guy who we've all benefited from perhaps unknowingly. His name was Rab Yehuda Cooperman. So who is Rabhuda Cooperman? Rabhuda Kooperman is the Mia. He's the one that wrote the hagyas on the bottom of the blue mash. the mash that everybody uses that has brilliant on the bottom that you couldn't learn without was written by this his name was he passed away like 10 years ago and he was a a tremendous guy specifically in the world of maker he opened up the for the world he was the and worldleading expert in all things mash it's not even close and he also did a lot of work on the and he was a very in the beginning of every mash again I think This is come out. I'm going out on a limb here. Almost every shank in the world. So if you open up in the beginning of uh batious the first volume, he has a mauvo. It's 14 proam law. And the purpose of the mi is this is so brilliant. It's to extrapolate from the meshma the way he approach learning. So we know the mashma is uh right in the conversation of the most brilliant modern pirat of all time. Right? It's not even close. But one of the things for those that are familiar a little bit with classic is there and he had a very novel approach. Surf Cooperman writes a mi it's 14 chapters each chapter is dedicated to another that he took out from in terms of the way he learned that he understood peric bay is called and the general theme is is that learned and he believed this was a sheet of that he said comes very much from the mash you'll find it if you know how to find it and that is is that you have to understand the tama mitzvah because the tama mitzvah shades and it colors the mitzvah. So if you want to learn you have to understand it's true for every mitzvah and of this he gives an example. He says I'm going to tell you the perfect example. It says it says in the for and he goes on and he says but I think the is and he's trying to bring out a point it's not but he's trying to say what would have said and he says based on what the raam said in the and based on what the said and we have this archaeological find but the bottom line is based on what the raam said in the what than what this foreigner said and that is this is not this is he says that you understand the location location of the in that you can understand the to some of the things again go through the two pieces and they'll complement each other but the bottom line is we're starting in the mikra it's it's an anomaly of monomalies and it could be the mahalak is it's because at its core is actually not at its core. It's that opens up the to understanding the struggled to be. Additionally, it opens up to understanding the which is as we go through paracar we're going to see is very much an anomaly.
