“Whoever studies halacha every day is assured a place in the World To Come.” Join us for a daily lesson in halacha, as we study the classic work, Mishnah Berurah.
Boker Tov. Good morning, everyone. Continuing in simon, reish, tas, 208. We've been discussing the laws of grains. A lot of lot of the laws of, the mizonos.
Speaker 1:And the halacha is in Sibzain, a very important and pretty well known halacha which is the story of HaKosei says haores. What's the story with rice? Now the Gemara talks about ores. It should be noted. It's not even the mission of brewer brings it's not so simple.
Speaker 1:We use the word to mean rice. It's definitely a big in the Rishonim and Nahronim. Is that indeed what the Gamar is referencing when it says Ores? It's not simple halacha and even many post Gemar aren't so convinced that the following halacha is actually what we do with rice. But that seems to be the normative halacha is that we do assume that this halacha is referencing rice.
Speaker 1:So the halacha is, the context is rice has very similar properties to grain, to the 5 grains, wheat, barley, rye rice, spelt, and oats. It's, it's a cereal product. However, the halacha is if Hakose is sour, if you're eating it raw, meaning it's not it's, hasn't been processed like we saw with regular grains. The halacha is that rice has the exact same halacha as wheat. That if you were to eat raw, if you were to eat even cooked wheat, the halacha is If you just eat, you munch on a kernel of wheat, we've seen the is It's a and you make a Now, the halacha with rice is that it follows the same two requirements that we've seen with all grains.
Speaker 1:From a grain to be transformed from a to a you have to do 2 things we've seen. You have to crush or split or squish that grain, that wheat, barley, rice, or oats, and then you have to cook it. Now Allah has the same thing with rice. It has to be crushed. It has to be cracked.
Speaker 1:It has to be split, and then it has to be cooked. And indeed, that's what the Alafa says. In Bishlu, if it's cooked or it's crushed, or you grind it, you transform it into some kind of, into bread of sorts. The gets transformed into a However, the big distinction between rice and all other grains is After you eat rice, you don't make an alam birria. The alaka is you make the of So rice is different than other grains that you make a masonos on it.
Speaker 1:However, you don't you only make a Now we said, and this is very important, that like other grains you need to do 2 things to rice for it to be transformed from adama to amazonos. Number 1, it has to be split, cracked, crushed or or ground, and it has to be cooked. Now if you ever look at rice, you see the whole kernel. It's not cracked, crushed, split or whatever. And the question that Misha Bur even deals with is why do we make masonos on rice?
Speaker 1:It hasn't met that first requirement of being split. And halalaka is seems, brings alludes to this in the post come out point out that rice is shelled. The outer shell of every grain of rice has been removed, and apparently that's enough for that to be considered crack. That's halakh applies even to brown rice. I'm not fully understand I don't understand why.
Speaker 1:I don't exactly sure what brown rice is. But the halakh is rice is any anytime you get rice, it's considered already, squashed. It's considered split because they've removed the outer shell of each grain of rice. The next big problem is what's the story with cooking? So if you boil your rice, that's good enough, and you eat rice, it's a masonos.
Speaker 1:The big question is what if it's just toasted or puffed? That's the big question, which is the the Shaila is is, rice cakes. Rice cakes is not boiled. It's just like I don't know. It's called air puffed of sorts.
Speaker 1:It's a big maklok is contemporary post game, the Minnega Olam, of Shole Mazama said you should on rice cakes, you should make Hadamah, or wasn't so sure. I think most people do make hadama on rice cakes because it's not considered cooked. It's considered again, you have that first property, it's been split, but it hasn't been really cooked. It's been puffed, and most people only make adzam on rice cakes. Rice Krispies, however, is a different process.
Speaker 1:Rice Krispies are first cooked and then they're crisped. So dalahas on rice Krispies. The dalahas you do make a masonos on rice krispies. However, like we've seen with regular rice, you only make the bracha of borin and fashas. So there's one other important alah with rice where it differs from other grains, which we'll talk about a little bit later on in some ratio of days, but it gets brought up over here in the is This is all assuming that your rice is the ikr and not the tafel.
Speaker 1:We're gonna see later on then it comes the laws of primary and subordinate, ichor and toffle. We saw alluded to earlier that that grains have a super status when it comes to the laws of ichor and toffle. That grains no matter what are always considered the primary food in any mixtures. This is not true with rice. When it comes to ichor and tuffel, rice is just like like any other food product.
Speaker 1:You'll have to follow the majority, and we'll talk about that in a little bit more detail in 7 ratio days, but flag that. Put that in the back of your minds that although rice has a very a lot similar properties to grain, when it comes to Iker and Tuft of laws of primary and subordinate, it's just like a regular food wishing everyone a wonderful day.
