Says Rav Yisrael Salanter,
you know why we have these two topics juxtaposed one to the other?
Because the Torah is not only concerned with what you put into your mouth,
the Torah is equally or more concerned with what comes out of your mouth.
The end of last week's parsha, Shemini, deals with the laws of kashrus.
How careful we are to inspect for insects and to confirm that the hechsher is valid and legitimate, and to make sure that our utensils don't get mixed up, and confused.
We have Pesach seminars and workshops all about the food.
And despite that, you text and you email and ignore everything that we said and follow up with all of your questions as if we did not give an entire seminar about it.
Because we're also concerned about the minutiae and the details of every little negligible thing that enters our mouth.
But says Rav Yisrael, it's important not only to be careful with what goes in our mouth, but it's important to be careful equally with what comes out.
