Shmita in the kitchen | Part 3 - Juicing fruit of Sheviet

[Music] we're going to continue with the laws of shemitah we stopped in the chapter where uh where we were explaining how do we eat the fruit of chevit now i know it sounds like a odd question what do you mean how i put in my mouth and i chew but there are certain things that i'm allowed to do and certain things that i'm not allowed to do in this class we're going to learn about squeezing the fruit of chevit in order to make a juice or doing any type of what's called a resect resect means to crush so sometimes you crush tomatoes not to make tomato juice rather you crush it to have the tomato paste so i would title this class the squeezing of a fruit to extract the the liquid in order to make a juice and to make a paste what is allowed what is not allowed okay so it says as follows is that i'm not allowed to change the fruit of shavit from how they're created to change the fruits which is edible it's a it's a it's a food and to change it into a beverage okay this is a rambam explains it very uh thoroughly uh uh the halacha but let's explain on the surface what we know therefore i'm not allowed to make apple juice carrot juice and so forth so that's a big douche but i'm not allowed to make orange juice in schmitta or apple juice well let's see what the aloha says i did a mistake i squeezed oranges i made orange juice then the juice has the chaos of it with all of its laws yes i mean the word in hebrew is using is mean mean is a specie or type so it says different types of fruit that you're allowed to do and it will explain as follows okay so now we got a slam to the face that you know how to make a juice on chevits but in some cases you're allowed to so now let's see what we're allowed is hotly wine or grape juice from grapes of the seventh year okay so at least now i'm calm i can at least make a grape juice and i can make wine vegan and i'm also allowed to squeeze squeeze grapes in order to er to drink the the fresh juice okay that's also important the same way that i i'm allowed to do grape juice of wine from the grapes of shivit i'm also allowed to do oil from the olives of chavites good so at least two things are out of the way grapes and olives i'm allowed to squeeze next hotly monitor i'm allowed to squeeze lemons oranges and grapefruit but cashel meat arrived but let me explain because you know the translation won't work the the the part of the fruit not the pulp but the part of the fruit that holds the juice in it in hebrew it's called bessar pre the so to say the meat of the fruit now it of course is not meat but it's the part of the fruit that what i eat but really if i squeeze it that's where the juice is going to come out from so that's not the pulp in order for me to be allowed to squeeze lemon grapefruit and oranges then part of the fruit has to be in the juice okay i'm not allowed to squeeze them into a very fine uh juicer or a muslin it is more like uh uh you know when you at the olden days they had like a little net and on top of it like the like these lines and you you squeeze it like that and then the the pulp the seeds everything they fall on the top and then the rest goes down so it's not really like a sifter but but a sifter no no i i would uh i would okay let's call it now a sifter but nevertheless it says as follows let me go back a little bit i'm allowed to squeeze and we're talking about lemons oranges and grape juice i'm allowed to put it in the juice as long as part of the fruit is in the juice as soon as i'm not allowed to squeeze them into this masala into this sifter but as long as it's a very very fine and thin not like a a rough one she called basaraplini fragment that it has to be so uh rough that rafam talking about that the blades even if it's from plastic are thick enough that some of the fruit can fall in when it's saying fine the cut the word that is using that it's so thin that the actual fruit can flow and then only the juice falls that you're not allowed to but if the holes are big enough that some of the fruit can flow in that is allowed to do they actually act and it's very important that when you squeeze she called basara please that all the entire fruit is being squeezed and again he's using the word bessar april the flesh or the the part of the fruit of the fruit everything has to be squeezed which means i have to go over and over and over to a point that barely anything is left why is that because if i squeeze 60 70 i'm not going to eat the remaining and then it's lost and i'm not allowed to lose the fruit now here i'm saying it as a side note i said it maybe 50 times but it's important that i repeat all the citrus what's called perotta grapefruit oranges clementinos lemons on the seventh year there's no problem with them because they were started sprouting on the sixth year our problem is going to be next year which means that everything that we're going to eat next year on the eighth year that's going to have to chevy why we went that through that many of the classes but this year all the the fruit that we're eating that are citrus they sprouted last year and again i told you the word is not sprouting the word in hebrew is khanita is when the flower opens and then the flower falls and right away shows the butt that's called hanita that's happened last year therefore all the citrus fruits this year on schweitz is fine there's no tv on it at all which means i can eat it and drink it however i want dispose the peels however i want next year i'm going to have a problem with shmita with citrus by the way don't don't mix fruits here and here this is not the class we're going to talk about it i'm going to do another class because some of the fruits what i just told you about the citrus for example pomegranates up until pesach the pomegranates of this year is from last year from pesach it's already new pomegranates so once we've done all the halacha then i'm going to make a few classes that are like practical you know more down-to-earth explanations well it's important that before you do anything you have to ask and make sure now we're talking about lemons oranges and grapefruit okay so the rule is i have to squeeze part of the fruit into the juice i can't squeeze it in a squeezer or a strainer or something like that that is so fine that the fruit can fall cannot fall in and i have to squeeze the entire part of the fruit that nothing is left from it and it says if something is left from the fruit then i have to treat it like remainings of fruit and there we go gonna learn down the line how i get rid of it because you can't just throw it to the garbage next this is in regards to juices so really what am i what am i allowed to just to summarize grapes and i'm allowed to do wine and grape juice olives i'm allowed to do oil lemon grapefruit and oranges i'm allowed to do juice that's it you can make carrot juice and you can make apple juice and many others and the reason is because all the other fruits i can't take completely the juice out of the actual fruit and then i'm left that i ruined the fruit next sec i'm allowed to to though you're you said smoosh but le rasek comes from resec so to le rasek is to squash smoosh here he's talking about spreads that i'm going to make like a later a jam or spread so that when he says le rasek is not to crush rather to in future tense to make uh a resect out of it okay so it says i'm allowed to make this spread out of the fruit and vegetables chadan kambika but it's that it's a pretty common you make a peach uh jam and make a strawberry jam yeah it's pretty rare that you make uh an orange jam no actually orange jam yeah but let me think of something that you don't make a cucumber jam you don't make cucumber jam right maybe some places you do but the the that's how you do it so if you're coming and adventuring or inventing all sorts of jams and spreads that doesn't doesn't it's not allowed i'm allowed to make from it a jam and also to spreads now besides a jam what spreads do i make from fruit or or from vegetables so you can make all these spreads let's say some people take jalapenos and mix it with a little bit of mayonnaise or oil and some spices and you make a spread out of it and you dip something that you're allowed to make if it's the way to make it then fine then you're allowed to do that so again i'm just repeating le rasek doesn't mean to crush rather to make a resec out of it a paste a jam a spread and so forth i'm adding on it a dip you can make a dip but the rule is that that's how you do it that it's normal to make okay next why am i allowed to do that because really it's not considered a beverage it's considered food even though it's liquidy even though i took the the the uh grapefruit the the strawberries or the berries or whatever and i made a jam of it yeah it's not really the shape of the fruit but it's not beverage it's therefore i'm allowed to do that but i'm not allowed to do a reset a paste a jam a dip some type of fruit that i'm that i usually don't do that like i told you usually you don't make a cucumber jam that's not something that is common i was about what happens is i'm taking now strawberries and i want to make a jam out of it and i'm squashing it and squeezing it and doing everything but some liquid comes out of the of out of the the fruit the strawberry you have to yeah it mixed with the fruit the lunch becomes clear and you know how to take them out so it's going to be a little bit different than usual but you can't now take the liquid out and to squeeze the liquid or to drain it and to put it in a different cup you have to leave it with whatever you squeezed next i'm allowed to here we can use the word le resec as squashing i'm allowed to squash uh what's the word you use squeeze you squeeze no use smash smash whatever you're allowed to squash any type of fruit or vegetables for kids if that's the way to do it bananas you squash for the i'm not sorry not kids a baby but it has to be the way that's how you do it so usually older people don't eat smash bananas unless krasper shalom they have some a problem with teeth or gum so you smash the bananas but normally people put the banana in the mouth and eat it but when it comes to a child the baby i'm allowed to squash the fruit in the vegetables in order for it to be edible for the baby but usually you don't do it for mature people like i told you bananas i don't know many mature people that they take a fork and they smash the banana completely like i told you unless customer shalom they have some oral problem but as long as it's for for babies you're allowed to and as long as it's not usually done for adults next excuse me this is all chevy not old days we're not talking about shabbat this is every day you can do listen shabbat then we'll apply the laws of shabbat that's what you're asking but which in many of the cases you're allowed to squash something on shabbat for a baby but here we're only talking about laws of sweet we're not talking about about here but you're it's good that you're pointing it out if it comes on shabbat then you have to apply the laws of shabbat where whenever it's allowed to squeeze in order to squeeze juice on shabbat but nevertheless i mean with exceptions i don't want to now be caught with my with my with my words to make a juice on shabbat you're not allowed to but to take lemon and to squeeze it over a salad that you're allowed to but this is not in about right now i don't want to now sidetrack for laws of shabbat and we're talking about the laws of sweet one allowed to and not allowed to do on chevy next i'm allowed to to crush which the word lithgon is not really to crush it's rather to to to grind i'm allowed to grind and not on shabbat saying is it a side note i'm allowed to grind garlic and onion in order to mix it when i'm making a like a burger or some type of other dish vegetable and also allowed to grind uh walnuts and almonds in order to mix them in a in a cake why because that's the way how we eat it it's fine and we conclude by saying mutagla for mushkele i'm allowed to take beverage and turn it into food how exactly you do that i'm not the most professional in the kitchen i don't know how you make all the dishes but the aloha says i'm allowed to take a beverage and to create change it into food the only thing i can think of by having little kids is that you take some juice and you freeze it and you make a ice pop from it that's what i can think of like i told you my level of cuisine is not uh not in a way that i can come up with ideas but the only thing i can think of is you make some juice or you have the juice you put a stick in it and you put it in the freezer and you leave your little kids something to lick instead of licking the food coloring that they give in the regular ice pops and so forth so just to conclude this part of the aloha i'm allowed to squeeze in order to extract juice out of fruit only to grapes in order to make grape juice and wine er all olives to make a lemon orange and grapefruit in order to make juice everything else i'm not allowed to juice uh when it comes to jams pastes spreads dips and so forth i'm allowed to do that as long as it's customary and it's normal like i told you you don't make a cucumber jam and i'm just some throwing one thing if you can think of anything else then you apply that and of course to crush food for babies that you're allowed to do as long as it's for the baby to eat and it's again not something so common to do for adults and i'm allowed to we said crush and grind uh onion shum garlic walnuts and and almonds when i want to mix it with some food or cake and so forth and that will apply also to other types of nuts that i want to crush them in order to put it in a cake when it comes to other types of vegetables then that will be questionable how if i'm crushing them if liquid comes out because onion by the way when you crush onion liquid of the onion comes out that's where what permits you to do it because in other cases you might not be able to do that because you're already taking out the juice and as we said before you're not allowed to do that during the year [Music] you
