Elimination of Shmita produce | Part 1 - Time of elimination

[Music] starting to do another section in the laws of shemitah to eradicate or to remove destroy the term is familiar when we do hamitz before pesach we take all the comets together and then we burn it that's the the type of bio we do for uh comets so now we're going to have a whole section talking about what we need to do as bu is this eliminating of the fruit of chevit and at what time and there's a lot of laws it's a little bit hard to do it as we go through the laws you'll see why but nevertheless that's part of a big part of the shemitah that we have to follow so the title of the chapter is called the elimination the removing eradicating the fruit of shavit and it says as follows i'm only allowed to eat fruits of chevit as long as the same type of fruit can be found in the field now needless to say that if i'm eating the fruit of chevit then by now you should be very well aware that i can only eat it if it was abandoned and i went to some field and i took it or that as i said that i bought it from somebody who they took it and with all the rest of the details that we learned but i'm only allowed to eat it while the same type of fruit can be found in the field fruit vegetables same thing now where do we learn this law from says in the book of chapter 25 7. translation and all of its produce may be eaten also by your domestic animals and by the beasts that are in your land which means that the fruit and the vegetables have to be in the land so just for the sake of the example let's say i have radish at home and i am aware that there's no more radish in the field all the radishes are done then i have to get rid of all this stuff that i have in my home so i said it's not so simple how do i know if there's any anything left or not but let's see what it says and then we'll see how hard it is to do it as long as the this fruit or vegetable can be found in the fields or in the orchard or the plantation whatever it is and an animal can come and eat it then you can eat with what you have in the house it's somehow finished no more to find in the field then you have to do boo from what you have in the house you have to do the elimination and again not so simple we take from that that if a person has any type of produce in his house that is called kudoshim meaning that it's from the year of chevita potatoes have onions i have carrots i have a lot of produce in my in my house big du chachevit but they have to have the dushav chaveed with all the laws that we learned very much the second that it's done over empty in the field or the orchard plantation doesn't matter that's it in that moment i have to take everything that i have from the house and burn it burn it dispose it whatever we're going to learn how to do it and often a bullish berlin how do i eradicate it how do i do the view we'll explain as we go and very important detail this obligation is the writer it's a part is a a mitzvah from the torah it's not something that our sages later on added this is mamasha the writer and but there's a uh one source that disagrees the ramban the commodity says no no no that's not the right that's uh that's from our sages with that said now we have to learn all the rules how do you do it when you do it and all the laws that come with it so it says as follows today we already went through the the time that i have to do it this is when the type of the fruit of the vegetable is done in the field and but here we have a little bit of a problem because because it depends where the field is in the land of israel because the land of israel was divided into a few different areas yehuda this is one area galil this is where we are then and the other side of the georgians so we have three areas where for biu the land of israel is separated doesn't exist anymore means that that's it finnish ran out but in one of the areas if it's over in the uda then i have to live the fruit that came from yudha if the in the area of the galil it doesn't finish it finish then i have to level to eradicate what's from the galil alpha piscimi swimmer means even though simultaneously i can find from the same vegetable the fruit in a different part of the land now we have another problem the way the land is divided there's many different opinions and i'm talking about the land in israel and not only the the how it's divided the location of each one i mean it's not that somebody came and draw a line on the map there's difference of opinions between our sages difference of opinions how we hold by when you move fruit from one area to the other area so in our generation we nobody really knows it doesn't matter who you're going to turn to they don't really know he says here as follows even basmatis in our time we're not uh knowledgeable or exactly where the border is on the other hand in the mishnah it is clear at the time of the mishnah so we going back 2500 years ago and also we don't know exactly when and in which area the vegetables stop to grow or you can't find it anywhere in the field when you're going to go now with a drone all over israel and start looking if the the lettuce ran out it's not so simple and so we don't know exactly when the vegetables of the fruit are they cease to to to grow in order to divide the part of the land and also there's a lot of rules how you move the vegetables from one area to another area and since we don't know much about it then then the halacha doesn't give too much details but it will give us all the information what to do but we just have to explain that at this part in our generation we don't really know exactly where the border is we know of three areas the other side of the jordan the galil and the uda but where exactly it comes we don't know well that said it says as follows as long as the fruit of the vegetables can be found in the field ben alaihis now it doesn't matter if it's on the trees or if it's on the ground because one common can come and say listen i looked at all the orchards no avocados yeah but you find all of them on the ground ah so if they're on the ground they still they're still there as long as you can find one of those fruits of the vegetables doesn't matter on the tree on the ground then it's considered like it's still existing in the field and not only that it's it's there that an animal can come and take it which means if an animal will come and take it then it doesn't matter if it's a ripe not right it's there um so as long as you can find the one in the field then you can eat what you have in the house now what happens if the fruits that fell from the trees were picked from the trees whatever is left is completely rotten completely completely rotten it has to be so rotten and even an animal can eat it or wouldn't eat it and you won't need it but an animal will eat it then it's considered you can it's still existing in the field and then you don't have to do the bill but once the fruit of the vegetable completely is rotten to a point that animals won't eat it that's it it's the time to do the bio tv but once the fruit the vegetables they don't exist anymore rottening everybody picked it animals ate it it doesn't matter you cannot find any remaining in the orchard in the plantation in the field now it's the time to do the view of what you have at home and again like i said before how do you really know when the the they stopped growing in the field not so simple but first let's learn all the laws eventually we'll conclude what we need to do want to find the time when it's the right time to do the bu the elimination the removing and so forth then we're only considering the fruit that can be found in fields that are abandoned okay any other things then we don't we don't hold by it we have to it only can be in fields that we know there are 100 abandoned that's already hinting to us how we can follow that because any owner of the land when he abandons it he can later on go and look in the field and say you know what all the produce is over and he lets everybody knows my field you can't find anything any anything there yet therefore there there is a field and somebody uh fenced the entire field and animals can't come in then the animals can't eat what's on the on the ground this is called sadismu uh uh preserved field and then this is not considered that it's completely finished because there's always going to be some leftovers for the animals to come and eat it so if we have a field that is surrounded with a fence and animals can't eat then it's not abandoned on the other side we have a field that is abandoned and doesn't have any fruit or vegetables there he gives mona bill then that's the time for us to do the bio next mana bionicle the time to do the bio is set once from the field the plantation the orchard the fruit that has it finished completely then we're ready to do the view even if next set of fruit came out which would be already considered peroxism because let's say for example you take now an orchard or some type of a plantation and let's say just for the sake of the example the pomegranates so up until now the pomegranates that can be picked they're from last year now it's going to happen will come the next round of pomegranates they will have dusha chevit then they fall or picked now will come another round of pomegranates they might be already of schminitz so my one might say oh i see the pomegranates on the tree so the field still has it yeah but that's from schminitz already they don't have they could do it so it also depends from which year the fruits are they're filling they look very but if uh fruit or vegetables of schminite already grew because that's what we're going to start having now after pesach then that that that doesn't have eat so that's they're not considered the new fruit that came out are considered i mean they're not edible if they if they started budding now let's say two months from now and you see a little bit of the fruits it's not edible it's only going to be edible next year so that's really considered schminitz so it doesn't have kedusha of sweet so they then then that doesn't include in the fruit and vegetables of chevit so it doesn't stop the beehu from happening and with trees was a little bit different because the fruits they take a much longer time to grow uvera but when it comes to vegetables then you can be a little bit lenient chesman when how do you deal with the vegetables not only when the field is empty but also when it came to the time to the period of giving maser the ghost manchester um but as long as there's vegetables in the eighth year shi gilor natalma thought that they came to the time of my thoughts since we go with the vegetables by picking them and not by when they're growing hemets eliminable so they will so to say cancel the bull you don't have to do the view anymore because there's new vegetables that are coming and the way we decide about the vegetables is the time that i pick it not the time that they grow so now what's going to happen let's have a field and there's lettuce there and the lettuce of sweet that's it field is empty completely and i'm about to now go burn the lettuce that i have at home but suddenly new lettuce starts growing and uh i'm not going to eat it in sweet because let's say it's in july or in august i'm not going to eat it it's still not ripe they have to grow i'm only going to pick it after rosh hashanah so they're considered already of shminate and that way they're so to say uh occupying the field so it's saving me from doing the bill so when it comes to vegetables it's a little bit more easier and lenient now what's going to happen here that the ones who were picked in uh schnatchmeet are the vegetables they have to do xiaomi but right away came the next round and i'm not going to pick it i know i'm not going to pick it i'm only going to pick it on the eighth year so then it means that the shmitah goes by the picking so the new round is doesn't have it but it's still occupying the field so with the vegetables it's a little bit easier the problem starts with a fruit so now we just stay we're talking about hypothetically how you do it in next classes we'll talk more practically but the major rule is that once the vegetable or the fruit doesn't exist on the trees on the floor it doesn't matter if they rot an animal ate it they were removed they were picked now the field is completely empty then whatever i have at home from that type of fruit or vegetable that has to be completely removed from the house and how we do the bio we're going to explain in other sections and of course the the major issue that we have here is how do you know two things that the field is completely empty and also from which part of the division of the land they come from because if i live in the galil and i know fear the fields are completely empty and the the vegetables came from the galil then those are the ones that i have to do the view but let's say i live in the galilee and i know the the fields are empty what happens to me that the the fruit that i bought came from the south or came from another place then of course that i don't have to do the view so it's it comes a little bit tricky and not so easy to follow but uh the i can tell you already that the best advice to deal with the boo is just not to have a lot of things in your home that you buy fresh you eat and that's it and not to start stacking potatoes for months and and things that can be stacked because then you have a problem most of us don't really do the view because maybe in the olden days people will drive to all the fields that are half killed take all the vegetables they can find and then stack the whole house with vegetables now we don't really do that we have other ways of doing it so most houses don't have vegetables and fruits stacked up there they have enough for one week two weeks and that way you don't fall under the the the prohibition of owning or having fruit and vegetables in your possessions when the fields are completely empty but we'll learn much more laws about it even if we're not practically doing it we still need to know what the laws are [Music] you
