Shmita in the kitchen | Part 8 - Eating at a non Shmita observant person's home

[Music] i'm going to continue with the laws of shmitar and before we conclude this uh chapter we're gonna uh cover what do you do when you are a guest at somebody that doesn't keep shmita right you go to somebody's house and the thing is that they could be tor observant just that they don't keep shemitah or they don't know all the rules as follows when you are a guest it's somebody that observes the laws of khashogg but they don't follow the laws of shemitah and that's a lot of people by the way then you have to be very very cautious from the next few details next lole holy rakot kitnyot vetwa you're not allowed to eat any of the food which is vegetables legumes and any type of grains that there's a scare or a doubt if it's and remember we learned about it enough means after growth now again so you go to somebody's house yeah they're not a hundred percent uh or at all observant of the shmitah means there's a doubt of after growth then you can't eat not the vegetables not the legumes and not the grain next now this is where it becomes a little bit more sophisticated because you're not allowed to eat any food that has nothing to do with a ground growth such as meat fish or anything else that they were cooked with the vegetables that transgress the prohibition of aftergrowth so if somebody let's say cooked doesn't matter what it can be any dish and there's vegetables mixed with it potatoes or whatever dish you can think of and the potatoes or potatoes any vegetable or grain is not a it is a doubt even of after growth then you can't even eat the meat or the fish or anything else for how long sorry when you cook it in a in a pot in the oven whatever it is then the food absorbs the taste and then now the food has the taste of the unquartered fruit and vegetable vegetables therefore you can't even eat like any dish that was cooked with the vegetables the first the prohibition is you can't eat any of the dishes that were cooked baked roasted grilled it doesn't matter with any of the vegetables but now you have another prohibition then you can eat any food that was cooked in the same dish of that dish for 24 hours so let's say now somebody made uh in a pot just for the sake of the example chicken soup and there's chicken there's noodles which is the grains and you have the potatoes and carrots and whatever barley now that you can't eat assuming that the vegetables and the grain is from chevit and has the doubt of after growth now they took out the soup clean the pot for 24 hours you can't eat anything that was cooked in this pot or use the spot because why because it absorbed the taste for 24 hours that's why i told you not so simple now all these little laws next lawyer you're not allowed to ask that person to cook or to cook for him with pots and pans that are were not cooked for 24 hours so i can't go now let's say i'm now being hosted by whatever friends cousins relatives and i tell them do you observe shemitah not really did you make dinner yeah sorry i can't eat your food now you saw this thing what do you want me to do you want me to order in no no i don't want you to order in you're not allowed to tell that person wherever they are listen can you cook for me in pots that you didn't use for the whole day you know how to do that so they can cook for you and you can ask for that why 24 hours because after 24 hours the taste gets a little bit weakened and when it comes to uh the halacha in regards to taste 24 hours it's called ben yomo that's when the taste passes but if somebody later on took the pots and pans and after they passed and you cook something in it then you it's fine it's not that it makes the pot unkosher very soon especially we're going to start learning all the laws you can't cook in a pot that absorbs the taste of hamet you can't cook with it on pesach you have to cushion it so same thing here here you don't because it absorbs the taste it doesn't mean that you can't use it after 24 hours after 24 hours if somebody was cooked in it then it's fine next yeah if you remember in chapter 19 we learned about fruit that if you can eat those fruit that in the orchard or the plantation was done it's labor that is not allowed to do on chevit remember we learned that i was about now i see uh orchard hypothetically you know even today i was in the forest and there's a lot of trees there take whatever you want it's it's nefcal it's abandoned you can take it doesn't belong to anybody if it's edible go ahead and take it now i was about if i go around on a hike and i see an orchard and i see beautiful oranges now let's say just for the sake of the example they plowed the land they they did all sorts of labor that you know what to do in javit so even though i didn't do anything but that land was worked on then i can't eat from that fruit okay this is called this provision called chamomile it was not guarded and was worked on and by the way if you remember then when we learned then some hold back that you can eat it because you didn't do anything the fact that they did that's their issue but the conclusion we came in as if that orchard the plantation doesn't matter what it was it was worked on in laborers that are not allowed to do on shavit and you know how to eat those fruits so now he's saying if and he's saying the one who's strict with the prohibition why because at the time when we learned we said that no no everybody holds by that some say i didn't work on the land it's fine right so he was saying the wonder is strict lord your alpharoth should not eat any fruit el akshaya de ashin estabe mavera if you know that a sin was done with it oceanic so you cannot eat that fruit if you know that some sin was done with it unless you know that fruit was bought or purchased in the stores how we learned last class class of shemitah remember we learned that last class that should be fresh in your mind so if we're going back to the what we learned about the guarding the land then we concluded then that not everybody goes by that halacha some people say as long as i didn't do it i'm fine to take and it's healthcare it's abandoned i don't care but we came to the conclusion then that we do care the land was worked on don't touch this fruit and by the way everything that we learned up until now with the in the first three laws it's only for vegetables legumes and grain not fruit because fruit is no after growth so now he's adding if you are strict with fruit that the land was worked on during chevit then you can eat that fruit and again by going to somebody else unless you know they specifically told you no no i bought it in that store and if you know the store is uh is trustworthy fine then you can eat it next month before i translate let me explain next chapter we're going to learn how we do what's called bio now in a month is pesach we're going to have to do commits that's a term that is known to everybody so the view is to get rid of to dispose uh there's many different translations to to be you but you know the the translation to be is eradicate and uh when it comes to comets it has to be done with burning when it has to be done with fruit and vegetables there's different ways and next chapter we're going to learn how do we do and when do we do this be all for the fruit which is very interesting because i'm just going to give you quickly the highlight if i have now just for the sake of the examples avocados in my house and in the orchard there's the avocados the last avocado was picked and there's no more avocados in that orchard then everything in my house i have to get rid of i can't eat it because in the fields they got it finished and we're going to go in length in the next chapter about it but here he's saying habio after the time of this be ooh have to be very careful not to eat the fruit and the vegetables that they be all the removing of them was not done on time and again we're talking about when i'm a guest somewhere else why because these fruits and vegetables are completely prohibited prohibited in eating because they were done in the orchard of the field and there wasn't done they're really moving there and of course then i can't eat any type of dish or any type of food that was cooked with those fruit or vegetables as we learned now in section one and two why because these fruits are completely prohibited now just imagine we are used to that you're not allowed to eat pork or unkosher meat or meat and dairy here we're telling you straight out there are fruits and vegetables that are prohibited from eating and the severity of eating them is just as worse if not worse than eating anything else that is not kosher like a baseball when it comes to after growth this applies also to individuals who follow what's called the when the produce belongs to a gentile that was grown on the seventh year and i told you that we're going to have to do a few separate classes it's called now in israel this is the loophole for many people how do people eat fruits and vegetables in israel unless they pack a picket themselves which is afkill either they import i mean they don't import themselves they go to a store that imports or they buy from a gentile that works the land in israel it's called now in some cases you can some cases you can't we're going to have to do a few classes dedicated just to that because in many cases you will go to a store or even different you go to a restaurant and you ask the restaurant do you observe shmita and they'll tell you yeah of course we observe shmita just that the produce is a was grown by a gentile in israel i mean just here in the north half of the the agriculture belongs to jews and arabs so then we're going to have to learn all the laws in regards to that but everything that we just learned now also applies to a person who uh holds by that even a gentile that grew fruit and vegetables in israel still has touched because i told you not everybody goes by that some people say oh no no a gentile er egg raise it i'm fine and of course this is all when i am a guest at somebody's house and they don't follow these rules and now can happen a situation that i will be a guest somewhere they follow laws of shmita but they're not particular with these little things that we said the fruits that was grown in an orchard that the land was worked on or that the produce was grown by a gentile they don't hold by that they said listen i'm not i'm not that strict but it has nothing to do how strict you are there's you the certain rules that you choose who you go by therefore now you go on a shabbat somebody invites you for a meal and you want to uh eat their food now you might be a little bit embarrassed telling them to do you follow shmita of course if we follow yeah but how strict you are when it comes to shmitah so that's a little bit of might be embarrassing moment but nevertheless one needs to check and to follow because when you follow when you buy your own produce then you know where it came from or or what's the status but when you go somewhere i can tell you already that not everybody is so strict with shmita and they will use any available loophole possible to get away and then you might have a problem [Music]
