Yonah,


Thank you for the time you spent being learning the sugya and preparing the chabura from which we all certainly derived new knowledge and benefit.


Some questions:

> Does the idea (klal, geder, ta'am) of מפני הרגל עבירה apply both to the איסור of making milchig or fleishig bread AND to the creation of having or eating the bread?

> What IS the status or significance of something (in this case the bread) that has the שם חפצה דאיסורה ?

> Are we to understand this idea of מפני הרגל עבירה as a reason of historical interest which we don't really have the "right" or privilege of interpreting, and which does NOT create any flexibility in an איסור which…

Abba, it's a true honor knowing that you listened, pondered, and wrote abt my sugya! Thank you! I hope my answersfully satisfy the questions asked. 1) To me it would seem, that הרגל עבירה is that you are, "by habit" going to come to eat the already existing milchig or fleishig bread, but the making of it isn't assur per se. they only forbade the making as a preventative from coming to have such bread which will lead to הרגל. 2) Possibly (although I haven't confirmed this), since it is a חפצה דאיסורא you would not be allowed to add any sort of heker bec of the din of אין מבטליו איסור לכתחילה (unless there other tzirufim i.e. הפסד מרובה). 3) I'm…

Amazong Yon x2!


1. Maybe thr Rif holds need heker bec rven if true tht youll femember in short time, perhaps hes worroed youll leave bread over or not end up esting soon after bake it etc...(kind of like you said, jist pointimg put that can be tht he disagreees w rashi about tht and not that you will forget soon after).


2. my only issue w pshat you said in rashba is that you cld jist say nake sure its a siman that wont have that issue, die milk bread w blue food coloring etc ...not mistaber tht point is we are ok w siman but prob is maybe ull make siman that doesnt do the trick...

Yonah,


This was a very interesting and informative Chabura. I, like you, was under the impression that it was only asur to make fleishig bread. Thank you for clarifying that, and thank you again for the insightful chabura!


A few questions:


Menashe: If someone is in a place in which it is normal for the people of that city/country to eat that bread with a certain food (Milchig or fleishig), but where you live (your city/country) it is not normal, would that also apply? Or, do we say that when you are there you can’t eat it but it can be eaten in other places? Or, do we say that the majority rules, so if the other country has more…

Manyard thank you so much for taking the time out of your "new parent" stage which can be quite overwhelming.

1) I would say from what I've seen that all bread that isn't parve is assur. The heker on the other hand may depend on the makom. if there happens to be some ppl there that the heker would not help for, then preventative measures should be taken to avoid lifnei iver, but if it was Mutar to make the bread because the heker works in that makom, it would stay that way. I Don't have it in front of me, but the Machtzis Hashekel says this svara but from a diff case.


2) Yes def true. One wouldn't forget,…

Yonah thank you for this informative and intriguing Chabura. As you said, I think you gave us a nice "picture" of the Sugya. I can tell that you had lots more to say, maybe one day we will get it all out of you!!


A few comments:

  • · The Gemara said you cannot smear the oven with something fleishigs because that would lead to a michshol aren’t our ovens fleishigs sometimes, or at least our microwaves? I don't have a Sign on mine saying which is fleshigs and which is milchigs, should I? How are we allowed to have keilim which can be milchihg or fleshig without clear simanim?


  • · I know you mentioned this for a secod bu…

The following are comments from Yonah's reviewer - R' Aryeh Greenfeld Shlit"a.

A very specail Yungerman who learns in Rabbi Rand's Kollel in Far Rockaway.


Thanks, Yonah for the crystal clear and thought provoking chabura.


Here are some thoughts:


  • Is there a problem having milchig or fleishig salt?


  • Perhaps the Rif would not agree to Rashi that small is good enough to avoid issur, because it doesn't directly address other people who aren't aware of the bread's status, whereas making a heker can help for anyone coming in contact with the bread.


  • Perhaps the Rashba's combination is that he really requires a heker, however since often a heker will be something with no intrinsic meaning, like an x, he will…

R' Arnold, I'm so happy to have you as my constructive criticism critic! Yummy! Thanks! 1) IDK, however there is a machlokes as to whether or not we're gozer on bread or anything else that may have הרגל עבירה as well. The reason why not on things other than bread, for ex salt, is bec those things are normal to set a separate one for milk and one for meat. So once it becomes wither or it would just be set aside. And you don't have to worry abt forgetting what it's for bec it's a reg thing to do so there won't be any forgetting involved (YET). 2) yes, that is a very nice pshat and is very probable, but,…
