Transcript
- 0:01OK, good morning. We are continuing with let's
- 0:06see. Well we're we basically finished
- 0:09cough pay on on Sobiskaka and Srita Vahule and Korca.
- 0:19Srita is also Lotid got to do right.
- 0:21That's the shot of the Lotid got to do is 2, believe it or not, 2
- 0:26loving in one. It means also not to do a srita
- 0:31on your skin for a dead body for a loved 1 And it also means
- 0:37we're not going to discuss it now, but the of Maklokas and
- 0:40having two but adenium. So it's or whatever we're we're
- 0:44not going to get into that, but that that actually interesting
- 0:47enough. Let's see, we left off.
- 0:52So I'm just going to touch up a little bit to conclude kufpei
- 0:55and then we're going to continue or start today with Gilua Kufpei
- 1:00Aleph. OK, we left off with a question
- 1:05about doing srita right? Can you assert it?
- 1:09It's in a few, it's in a, it's in I think it's ajremos and Amor
- 1:13it comes up a few times. You're not allowed to make a
- 1:16sritas. So what is that?
- 1:18Is it just a simple scratch? So I don't think anyone has an
- 1:21issue with just you're, you're itchy, you're scratching
- 1:23yourself, you're in pain, you're upset.
- 1:25I don't think that's an issue according to anyone.
- 1:27Where is the issue? So when you're penetrating the
- 1:31skin, you're breaking the surface of the skin, You're
- 1:34cutting through the top layer of the skin.
- 1:36So we raise the that's the only time it's an issue.
- 1:39However, the question was, does there have to be any blood
- 1:42showing? So interesting enough no one
- 1:47discusses the word blood. The only source I've seen that
- 1:51mentions the word blood is the arakh linear.
- 1:55So the gomar, he quotes the gomara.
- 1:57Now again you can say this is the same thing the gomar and
- 1:59Yvamo says I'm Lotus Gotadu. It says lota ASU kabura can't
- 2:05make a kabura. Now we know in general kabura
- 2:08means blood. So that's the general assumption
- 2:12and the general translation. So therefore the arakh linear
- 2:16says it's only an isser there isa if there is blood and I'm
- 2:21not aware he doesn't discuss Darabanon.
- 2:24I'm not aware of any isser Darabanon over here.
- 2:26We don't see hizzal or gozier at all.
- 2:29So anyways he points. So anyway, so he baskins, he
- 2:32says nista pakti. I'm not so sure, but I believe
- 2:35it's only with blood. I asked a couple rabbani who
- 2:40basically gave me the same answer.
- 2:41We're not positive, but we believe it's only with blood.
- 2:45Gazev left of Eliel van Kheim or Pesen, they say the same thing.
- 2:50So we've all believe it's only blood and how much.
- 2:55So there they are. Linaire says a kosher who,
- 2:58Sorry, doesn't holic, so it's just a kosher who.
- 3:01And then I'll be there. So there's no sheer, there's no
- 3:04minimum sheer. And some of the nosy Kailen were
- 3:07in the back of the rhombam. And there's not much discussed
- 3:10on this mitzvah, but they just point out, I forget who they
- 3:13quote, right? In a couple of chronium, they
- 3:15say it's as long as it's niqar. So Lamisa, what are we going to
- 3:19say based on all this? As long as you see some, you
- 3:23don't have to have a dripping blood, but you do have to see a
- 3:26drop of red showing not just reddish, but blood, right?
- 3:30The red or the purple, something showing blood.
- 3:33And then, well, it's been violated, OK.
- 3:37And I do not recommend seeing how far you can get and then
- 3:40stopping before you start to bleed.
- 3:42So anyways, well, except for the regular scratching, we'll just
- 3:45say not to do it. We were.
- 3:47If you want to draw lines on your skin without the letter,
- 3:53there probably is no problem. Draw.
- 3:54We said to draw it to draw with a pen or a a fingernail.
- 3:59Yeah, that's no problem. Just to make an impression a
- 4:02little white on your skin by pressing with your I just press.
- 4:06OK, that's nothing. Fine.
- 4:09At least I believe. No, we mentioned about
- 4:11tattooing. Oh, you know what?
- 4:13I just one last thing going backwards couple.
- 4:21So we mentioned Durish El Hamay team and going to Kavarim.
- 4:27So I realized I did not properly address it, but this is really
- 4:30apropos. It's also Nilka surveillance,
- 4:33but this is Durish El Amasi. So there's a popular min hug in
- 4:38Khalisel that starts from the Khomish with Khalid and many
- 4:42others ever since. And OK, I'm going to call you.
- 4:48So as we dive in at or we go visit Kavarin, even for our
- 4:52loved ones on your sites. So are we allowed to dive in for
- 4:56them to to help us out? So it's clear it would be an
- 5:01Ester Derisa to ask them to do stuff for us.
- 5:06So what is permitted? So there's two possibilities.
- 5:10Now if you look in the sources, most of the sources a post Kim
- 5:16who write about it will say it's Usser to ask of the the the the
- 5:22dead, to even ask a Kurish Barku for us, for them to daven for
- 5:27us, for them to be our male meleats.
- 5:29Yoshi to go up to them and ask them.
- 5:33That would be an isser, presumably Tamim.
- 5:41I'm not sure if there's a love or not, but OK, I sorry you know
- 5:45that part. But certainly there is an esour
- 5:48and one is not allowed, not allowed to.
- 5:51It might even be there right? So, but fine.
- 5:55Who are those? For example, the Mishnagura,
- 5:57Mahsa Shekhar, al Yaraba and the Mahariel and the crawl.
- 6:03I know so others he's against even say in certain parts of
- 6:07Bahnisi Rachman, even Tfila and Rosh Hashanah is famous for even
- 6:11in Shalom Alaikum is an issue, the one that we when we say
- 6:15Barkhuni or Barkhena. What I'm confused now.
- 6:18Whatever it is we say ask them to bless us.
- 6:20So anyways, when we're dive into any of the dead or to or to
- 6:24angels to be our in between. That is a a certainly a problem.
- 6:30It's a question. However, there are many who do,
- 6:35there is a custom to dive in and ask them to help us.
- 6:38Well, anyways, according to that first opinion, which I believe
- 6:41is the majority, main more mainstream opinion in halaqa is
- 6:45we go there and we dive into Hashem and Biskooted Sadiq who's
- 6:52in front of us, Hashem will listen.
- 6:54You can even say to Hashem Biskooted Sadiq who amdavan in
- 6:57here and it's a zero sight and Hashema comes down even closer.
- 7:01So therefore you're allowed to ask Hashem Biskooted Sadiq, but
- 7:05not to ask that Sadiq to go to Hashem.
- 7:07OK, that's that opinion. There is many who do say it's
- 7:11smutter. You're never allowed to ask the
- 7:14dead to do something for you, except you're allowed to ask him
- 7:17to ask Kashyap. So that is an opinion.
- 7:22The mana lashon and then Kasalazar men kasitak and they
- 7:26justify that men hug to do so. Let's see what else on that
- 7:34topic, right? So then what about at a funeral?
- 7:39So again, depending which opinion you follow, either when
- 7:44people often address and say that the, you know, a parent or
- 7:47a loved one should be a male leads yoshere for us.
- 7:50And Shamain, it's perfectly fine to tell the audience that you're
- 7:54hoping and you know, or you're confident that he's going to be
- 7:57a tremendous he or she will be a tremendous male leads yoshere
- 8:01for us. But to turn to the dead and say
- 8:04we ask you to be a mehlitziosher for us to Kurdish baraku.
- 8:09So that brings us back to that same mahogas.
- 8:11And I don't know if I ever heard anyone be so at a funeral, be so
- 8:17upfront. Maybe maybe it depends to what
- 8:21extent. OK, they they turn to him and
- 8:24say OK mate, like they're talking to him maybe.
- 8:27OK, all right, fine, let's just finish up with a couple points
- 8:40on tattooing and we'll be done with that.
- 8:43So someone asked can you can a soldier do it again, you're
- 8:49doing it for identity reasons. So there is no, you're not doing
- 8:55it to be like the I would assume a tab is better, but if but it's
- 9:02a very serious important issue to be able to identify.
- 9:06And if there is an issue with using A tag, perhaps it's
- 9:11Smutter. Obviously it will leave it for
- 9:13the postgame of the Army to decide, but there is certainly
- 9:18perhaps what to rely on OK, microchips other than under the
- 9:23skin. So I don't think there's going
- 9:25to be an issue as well for that one.
- 9:27As far as Kosovitkaka, someone asked about using sukim, so
- 9:33Ruvin Cheney as far as using sukim of a muna as a tattoo.
- 9:37So I'll leave it As it's Arakiyan, it's probably ASR
- 9:40Dareisa or at least Derabanan. No, I don't have any clear
- 9:45answer on that one. But I doubt it's much of A it's
- 9:48not even with Zarakado. You know that if it's not at
- 9:50Zarakado or for a FUA, which should be at least Sr.
- 9:53Derabanan and one comment on srita and in general dealing
- 10:00with someone who passes away again, as many sources you could
- 10:05look at this Forno and the Ramban and others talk about it
- 10:08in Ray about Lotus Skoda do that to cry for a loved one is
- 10:15wonderful and to to to do it's important, it's necessary.
- 10:20It's our natural, we're humans and that's mutter.
- 10:23But to go overboard is doing Srita and the problem is it
- 10:27lacks and Luna and you're forgetting about Olam Hava TSM
- 10:31A-Team and you're forgetting about Avinu Shabba Shamayim is a
- 10:36Kurdish bar who's still here. He's still with us.
- 10:39He's still our Karl. He's high the Kayam every moment
- 10:42and just and I'll just share with you.
- 10:45So I wrote a contrast and helpless surveillance.
- 10:48So I'll just share a quick idea from the end, which is really
- 10:52the same idea. I just got a scammer from
- 10:56Ravashi Weiss yesterday. So that was very nice.
- 10:59So eventually we'll get that sent out.
- 11:02But anyways, the round bomb Gemara, I think it's my cut.
- 11:07And anyways, a few places they point out that on the one hand,
- 11:10if you don't show any Becky any crying, so then it's cruel to
- 11:15the niftar. It also may not be so healthy
- 11:17healthy for you, but but if you go excessive beyond what Hazal
- 11:23gave us is a good guideline. So again, it takes away from our
- 11:28Amuna and you know, the purpose of life is for living and
- 11:32accomplishing and like what we said, the soul lives on and we
- 11:37are and and the loved one wants us to continue and not to go in
- 11:41depression. Anyway, that's that concludes
- 11:46that part. Quick caveat on what's it called
- 11:54Magician magician sorcery. We I don't know if we really
- 11:59discussed I think it was ruin Cheney and Oliver Friedman sent
- 12:05out to me. So I once wanted to point out
- 12:07what about mentalists and mind reading?
- 12:11Is that a problem? So I didn't see anything clearly
- 12:14on the matter, but I believe that mind reading is no problem
- 12:20unless you're asking him for the future.
- 12:22That's what we learned. But just that he could read your
- 12:24mind and he got it right. I am not aware of that of there
- 12:28being any ISR whatsoever, but that's Arahian and a mentalist.
- 12:34So it's the same thing except it depends.
- 12:36A mentalist, sometimes they're doing real tricks.
- 12:39I know they can make one, two people on the side of the room,
- 12:42for example, and they'll, they don't look at each other and one
- 12:45will do something and then the other one feels it or does
- 12:48something else. If there's a mice involved,
- 12:51magic involved, you're seeing things that are going on.
- 12:56So then that's what we discussed might be the Issa de reisa will
- 12:59hesitate. 9 So, so when it comes to a mentalist or an
- 13:03illusionist, illusionist is a problem.
- 13:05A mentalist, it depends if he's doing illusions or he's just
- 13:09just mind reading. So claiming supernatural powers
- 13:18is a problem when there's a mice that you're seeing supernatural
- 13:22powers espi can read your mind that is supernatural.
- 13:25I'm not aware that that's any issue whatsoever.
- 13:28I haven't seen it. If you do let me know OK.
- 13:34A mice that to trigger it could be a problem or saying
- 13:37incantations could be a problem, but just OK, so it depends what
- 13:41what's going on in the show. Fine, OK, you'll let me know
- 13:51what you think. I haven't thought about it.
- 13:53So I don't want to sneak off the cup going to magic shows or
- 13:58hiring a magician. So we mentioned already that
- 14:02it's a Maclocas acronium rishonium both if it's mutter or
- 14:08usser now just to it according to the opinion and says it's
- 14:12usser right. It's it's a it's a big opinion.
- 14:15Do you say it's follow your of sometimes you follow a Suffolk.
- 14:19There is a lehumrah sometimes not, but there is a Mahocus.
- 14:24But going just to watch or to hire them.
- 14:27Presumably there is an Ester de Arisa of Liefenaever or Tamim
- 14:32Tiya really Tamim Tiya. Perhaps depending on the nature
- 14:36what's going on, there might be an issue, at least naive
- 14:40generally that would I would assume that'd be the the
- 14:43consensus in the post game. If you hold it's us or if he's
- 14:47really tricking you and he's and you don't have a disclaimer
- 14:50saying it's all just just a game, just a trick and he tells
- 14:55you do you have to show one or more?
- 14:57It's a whole nother question. OK, we discussed that, but this
- 15:00is a new thing I wanted to also point out can you hire a non
- 15:04Jewish magician? So this I did not see except in
- 15:08the end it's only place I saw discuss a non Jewish magician is
- 15:13in Yabiya Omer in your idea it's always your idea it's in Hey
- 15:18look hey Simon at the very very end of Simon Yadala not the
- 15:24longest Chuva usually be Omar is very long.
- 15:26But anyways, what I want to just point out.
- 15:29So he says if you use a non Jewish magician, he says nearly
- 15:34yeish lahakal. He is one of the I don't know if
- 15:37he's a Anyways, he's one of those who says it's no matter
- 15:40what. I follow the Rambam and it's
- 15:42usser. Even if you tell me everything,
- 15:45you're tricking the guy and he is Obviously if the trick goes
- 15:48along with showing him what you're doing, I don't think it's
- 15:50an issue. But then you'd have to show each
- 15:53trick and show that he's not. But anyway, whatever how far you
- 15:58take, that's another story. But anyways, in general, but
- 16:03yeah. And there were the buzz.
- 16:05I don't know, I understand. But in general, it's a it's a
- 16:08hocus if you believe it or not believe it if it's or not.
- 16:12OK, we briefly mention that. Oh, thank you.
- 16:21Thank you. OK.
- 16:22So it's also in peace who says the failures that it's mutter to
- 16:27watch a goy. OK, he doesn't talk about
- 16:30hiring. All right, thank you very much,
- 16:31very much. So that was important anyway.
- 16:34So he points is a goy for a high of is there a love or an S an an
- 16:40esser for a goy to do magic or sorcery?
- 16:43So that's a Mahlokis Lamar and Rishoni.
- 16:46And so that's already one. And he says some say the whole
- 16:49thing is mutter even by Jews, like black magic.
- 16:54Yeah, some say a goy is allowed to and then some say a Jew is
- 16:58allowed to do a magic show. So he says between the two, he
- 17:02says if you hire a goy, it's OK. That's all about you.
- 17:07I I'm assuming between all the different opinions out there,
- 17:12that would be if you put a disclaimer that it's fake and
- 17:16you hire a non Jew for sure. Most postgame, I think would say
- 17:20Aisha, Aisha, Aishla, Haka if you want to.
- 17:22OK, like Aquila on hiring a Jew. That's a my focus.
- 17:29That's OK and let's go on now we're going to start Gilua over
- 17:34here Yeah OK, shorts EFIN let's go Simon kuf pay olive kuf pay
- 17:44olive Esther Gilua ha payout. So the issue is shaving now
- 17:51there's no isser of shaving the entire head or shaving the
- 17:55entire beard. At least on a Darissa level,
- 17:58there's corners. You've got 2 on the head and
- 18:01five on the the face. The question is where are they?
- 18:07So OK, so let's see the practical again on it's it is on
- 18:13a level of Darissa because we don't know exactly where it is.
- 18:16So it's a huge Marcoccus Vishoni.
- 18:19Even understanding them exactly is not so clear.
- 18:23And solemaisa means any area of the face that might be a corner
- 18:29we hold as an Issa dar Isa, or at least Suffolk Issa dar Isa.
- 18:33Anywhere on the head that might be the Pei El taroche is also
- 18:38going to be an Issa dar Isa. So let's read inside.
- 18:41Olive Pei O taroche named Stein so faroche humakom Einstein, so
- 18:48Faro humakom Hebrew allahi Miyamin Usman.
- 18:52So one on each side. You have one corner on each side
- 18:55of the head. And basically it's somewhere, if
- 18:58you draw a line between the top of the ear to your temple,
- 19:04somewhere over there where it goes down towards the ear.
- 19:08So that is your corner. It could be the entire thing is
- 19:12a corner. OK, right where the joint is the
- 19:18bottom of the corner is the your TMJ that's along the middle of
- 19:24your ear where it meets paleo means corners, right?
- 19:31Maybe edge edge or corners. OK, edge according to the most
- 19:35she asked for its corner edge fine.
- 19:42Oh, OK, OK, Could very well be right.
- 19:45Sorry. So could be peyote is we'll call
- 19:50them whatever it is, we'll call them edge.
- 19:51Now the lotakifu to make to circular the Roche, the puslak
- 19:56writes you can't make your head circular by cutting off the
- 20:00peyote. So just to help you understand
- 20:03why it's why the Torah uses the word circular.
- 20:05Does that make sense if you draw a line basically all around your
- 20:09head? Again, it's not a perfect
- 20:12circle, half circle, whatever it is, or a circle going from.
- 20:16Well, if you include all your hair, it's a half circle or Half
- 20:21Dome, half sphere. But if it's just a round circle,
- 20:24hemisphere, hemisphere, however you want to look at it, it's a
- 20:27circle. If you basically you draw all
- 20:30around your head, it's not perfect, but you know, going
- 20:34from your forehead all the way around, you could sort of make a
- 20:38rough circle. And it's the, that's why that's
- 20:41the expression. And it's the edges that go down
- 20:45below the area where we call the Paleo Saros Paeos from the top
- 20:51of the ear to to the, to where you're onto your TMJ on your
- 20:55face. So that's a protrusion going
- 20:57down from. OK, fine, that just explains
- 21:01that expression. Let's go on bass.
- 21:08Bain shigeliya kapirodovar. Bain shigeliya koharosh IMA
- 21:13peyote hayat. So it doesn't matter if you go
- 21:15after and shave only the peyote roch or you shave off your
- 21:19entire head plus the pale. Either way, one is Hayev, right?
- 21:23Two lavin, one for each side. OK Gemo enochayev ella vitar.
- 21:33OK, 1 is only Hayev if you use a razor blade?
- 21:42Yeah, only if you use a blade on your pale taroche.
- 21:46Is it usser similar to the face metal?
- 21:52I don't think the material matters, it just has to be
- 21:56what's considered a blade. I don't know.
- 21:58Usually they're metal, but presumably maybe if you can cut
- 22:03a piece of glass, OK, I don't know.
- 22:06Anyways, anytime you're using a razor blade to cut off your
- 22:10hair, that's on your face. We know that's when it's a
- 22:12problem. He's so the first opinion in the
- 22:15show Kanara follows. I believe it's the Rambam that
- 22:19it's even if that's the only time it's answer.
- 22:23But if you're going to take a scissor and go super close to
- 22:28your to the scalp, so then it's even as long as it's done with a
- 22:34cutting motion of 22 knives, a scissor, then it's mutter even
- 22:40if it's sharp, the yeesh. It doesn't matter how close it
- 22:43gets the yeesh O stream, the misperion Kain tar.
- 22:47So then he holds over here that some say it's us Sir and some
- 22:56say it's Usser even with scissors that are very very
- 23:02close and the Yeh Lakhush with Abraham and some say we must be
- 23:10the Yeh Lakhush and we should definitely be Mahmir like the
- 23:13second opinion. So that's how the Shah Khanar
- 23:15concludes and that's what Ilamaisa follow Lahalaka that on
- 23:19the hair, on the head, on the head, even misparaim keintar is
- 23:28a problem. So therefore we're going to
- 23:31there is no question using a a scissor too close or using a an
- 23:39electric shaver is for sure. We consider it halacha an isser
- 23:44darisa to do it on the head on the pale sarosh.
- 23:49OK, we didn't get down to the to the face yet, but anywhere in
- 23:52the area of piotaroche that is gonna be usser to make it too
- 23:57close, even if it's done with scissors.
- 24:00I'll just have you look at the the we're almost done.
- 24:05Look at the the Shah and Baze when it says ke'en tar shigozes
- 24:10bemisperaim samuh le basar. When you're using scissor motion
- 24:15very close to the skin, cane tar, just like a a razor blade.
- 24:22So it's really close and really smooth.
- 24:24We're going to see that's what we're going to hold is usser on
- 24:27the head and mutter and and the face.
- 24:31I just want to comment that there's a few different
- 24:33opinions. How close does it need to be on
- 24:36the head? So the general opinion I believe
- 24:39is it cannot when even using scissors or a buzz cut or
- 24:43whatever. So many say it should not be
- 24:46shorter then five. Again I didn't prepare a whole
- 24:49cecum over here but 5mm some say 65 or 6mm is the the general
- 24:58opinion that makes it mutter la Catquila on how close to cut
- 25:02your head your head. I need to double check.
- 25:04It might be a number 2 is the the shortest you can go and
- 25:08still be mutter, but double check the Barber numbers are
- 25:13three times three times, right. So 2 is OK, it's going but A1,
- 25:20which certainly would be usser according to that opinion.
- 25:23Now again, I'm I didn't prepare a full thing on it, but it
- 25:26happens to do with with Hilkos for Nazir and by by para by a
- 25:32para Duma. So there's three opinions on how
- 25:36long the hair needs to be to be considered there or it's here.
- 25:41So the question is, do you apply that halakha over here?
- 25:44It's really not clear, but that's the general what we do.
- 25:48But it's really unclear. It could be as long as it is
- 25:51Amashu and Nicar and that you see it, that's one opinion and
- 25:55then it's OK. Like 1/2 or 1mm might be OK.
- 25:59And I'm again, I'm not giving you any halakhal mice on the
- 26:01length, the other opinion, but the Mahmir opinion that it needs
- 26:05to be 5 or 6 is busy. You needs to be able to fold
- 26:09over the hair enough on itself. So the minimum that you can get
- 26:13a length of a nail a a hair that you're able to fold it over on
- 26:17itself is that length. That's where it comes from.
- 26:20And anyway, so those are the 2 extreme opinions.
- 26:25Well, we'll stop here.
