Orlah 2.6-2.9

In general, if truma food is mixed together with chulin food, if the mixture is jovesh by jovesh, where both foods are solid and dry foods, then in order for the truma to be nullified in the mixture, and for the mixture to be permitted for non-koanim, there must be at least a hundred times more chulin than truma.

And when it comes to orla or kelea kerem, which are forbidden for everybody and it's forbidden to even benefit from them, so if orla produce is mixed together with chulin produce, and again it's yovish be yovish, they're both solid dry foods, so in that case the orla is only nullified and the mixture will be only permitted if there is 200 more times chulin than orla.

Now we saw too much nice ago an exception to this, that if the effect of the forbidden food is recognisable in the mixture, for example if it's a spice or if it causes the rest of the mixture to rise, then even if it's less than one hundredth or one two hundredth of the mixture, the entire mixture will still be forbidden, since it is being affected in a big way by the forbidden item.

Now the following Mishnah will clarify when exactly that applies.

And in what case did the Chachomim say that if the forbidden food causes the mixture to rise, or if the forbidden food was a spice, then it would make the mixture into a That's when trimmer and chulun are mixed together and the trimmer is not nullified.

And as we explained, the same would apply to orla and kliakerem, that even if the orla and kliakerem is less than a 200th of the entire mixture, if its effect is recognised, then it would be forbidden.

But when exactly does that apply to hachmer? To be strict.

When do we say this strict halacha? That's only min b'minai, when the two foods which are mixed together are the same type of food.

And the Mishnah will give an example of that in a moment.

However, l'chakel u'l hachmer, to be lenient and to be strict, meaning in what case do we not always apply this rule, that is min b'she'enu minai, if a forbidden food is a different type of food to the permitted food.

And we'll give an example of that in the following Mishnah.

But for now, we're going back to the first part, where you've got two of the same kinds of food, keitzad.

What would be an example of that case? Truma sourdough made out of wheat, which fell into chulin dough, also made out of wheat.

The yeshbek del chametz and the truma sourdough is enough to make the chulin dough rise.

So, whether there's enough chulin to nullify the tremor, one in a hundred, so whether there's a hundred times more chulin than tremor or not, nevertheless also will be forbidden, because the effect of the tremor is recognisable.

And of course, if there isn't enough chulin to nullify the tremor one in a hundred, whether the tremor is enough to cause the cholin to rise or not also it will be forbidden so in that case even if the tremor's effect is not felt it's not recognizable that will make a difference because here of course there isn't a hundred times more cholin than tremor so the tremor will always be forbidden Now we see a case, which is sometimes lenient and sometimes strict, if the forbidden food item is different to the food in the mixture.
