Cook, however, any heat source that gets red hot is also considered fire such as an electric stove top. Cooking meat on a barbecue or gas stove falls under the Torah Prohibition. Cooking an egg in a pot of boiling water that was just on the stove falls under the Torah Prohibition. The sun, cooking using the sun is permitted. As this is kind of cooking is not normal and is therefore not called cooking in a holochic sense. Please say that one more time. The sun, cooking using the sun is permitted as this kind of cooking is not normal and is therefore not called cooking in a holochic sense. Hanging an egg in the sun in the hope that it will cook is permitted. Rabbinic Prohibition, derivatives of the sun. Additionally, Ghazal prohibited cooking using anything that derives its heat from the sun as it's very similar to something that derives its heat from fire.
Even though cooking using the sun itself is permitted, they were concerned that onlookers may mistakenly think that heat derived from the sun actually came from fire. To avoid this, they prohibited cooking using heat that is derived from the sun. Frying an egg on the hood of one's car that derives its heat from the sun is rabbinically prohibited. Putting an uncooked meal into burning hot sand so that it will cook is rabbinically prohibited. Microwave, a microwave does not actually have a heat source. The microwave cooks by forcing the molecules within the food to move creating heat. In theory, using a microwave should be permitted, barring the issue of using electricity. However, we explain that anything that is a normal way to cook is included in the Torah Prohibition. Based on this, using a microwave to cook is forbidden from the Torah.
What about using a magnet flying glass? So that, I think, you know, I'm not an expert here, but so that the sun, right, so that would be cooking it that derives its heat from the sun. So it would seem that it would fall under that prohibition because it's getting, I mean, although you're magnifying the sun directly, it would seem that that's deriving it from the sun. So either way, it might be, it might be from the Torah, it might be okay, but rabbinically, it would certainly not be okay. Those rabbis. Okay. Right, but they're saying that it's cooking is on it. Right, yeah. So, but they're saying it's because of the heat source. All right. Chapter 14, the right environment, day 72, educating the family.
This is from the Lush and horror book, right? Yeah. Okay. One is obligated to educate and accustom one's children to misuse. The prohibition of Lush and horror is no different in this regard. As such, if one hears one's children speak Lush and horror that would not be considered as having an important bearing on their personal well-being, one is required to stop them. The same is true regarding hearing children speak lies or words of Machlokes. One must also educate them in the relevant laws. It is permissible to listen to the problems and stories of one's children whenever it is constructive. This is because one must build an honest and engaging relationship with them. It's advisable for parents to encourage their children to speak about things that directly affect them, such as about friends or classmates who are hurting them or if anyone approached them in the park. This way, the parent is made aware of what is going on in the child's life and can take measures to help them and prevent any harm or difficulties that the child may be facing.
However, one may not believe anything negative that they say is true. One can assume that this was indeed the way that they experienced the event in question and at the same time utilize the other tools available in the exercise of judging favorably as we discussed in days 45-48. Often, when hearing something that would constitute Lush and horror, one can generally say to them, you can also tell the story without the name so it would not be Lush and horror. One should always assess if listening is actually constructive and falls under the leniency of Tolles, especially as children go older for more details on when to go to listen when to go to listen Lush and horror at C-Day 40. Acquiring the right habits when young, the villain of going, points out that one of life's primary purposes is to perfect one's character. This requires much practice. One primary reason that Lush and horror is unfortunately so rampant among adults today is their lack of proper education as children.
No one ever explained the sin severity nor encouraged them to exercise or strained. To these people, speaking Lush and horror became second nature. In contrast, when parents train their children not to speak Lush and horror from an early age, they will naturally develop an aversion to Lush and horror. This will aid them in developing their character in this matter. The Chavitschheim adds that this pays dividends in both this world and the next. A good example, the Chavitschheim emphasizes that the head of the household must be careful about his own speech. Children usually take after their parents, but moreover, a child will not respond to instructions regarding an area where his parents are negligent. Words of wisdom. One has the ability to rebuke the member of his household in a way that is effective and does not, will be held responsible for their sins.
The Chavitschheim has the ability to rebuke the member of his household.
The Chavitschheim has the ability to rebuke the member of his household. In fact, even though we have yourself, there are no limits. 156! There are so many people here. There are so many people here. Where are you going? I'm going to get up here. It's the road. I'm going to get up here. It's the road.
