LOUSY LIQUIDS

[86b bottom] R’ Yochanan to the sons of R’ Chalafta from Huna: If a Kartzis (insect) was found in sheaves, it does not invalidate the Chatas water (that gets mixed with ashes from the Red Cow) if it drinks from it.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: If little bugs are significant enough to cause problems, we should not turn a ‘blind eye’ to things that we should take care of. Not only should we always be careful about what we eat or drink, but also about any situations that we can be better at by solving, rather than shirking away from responsibilities.
