[Avodah] timtum halev

[Tal Moshe Zwecker]

As far as I understand it timtum halev means that one's insight and intellect found in the heart are stuffed up and blocked up

So that Rambam in his letter about ressurrection tells those who have doubts about it that they must have eaten non kosher meat and that is why they have problems with emunah

I cannot see any connection to Bal Tashchis, there is no timtum halev there

There maybe sensitivity to wanton destruction, but it doesnt damage your spiritual  understanding or emunah the way treif meat does

You are what you eat

In addition throwing out food that you cannot eat due to kashrus reasons is not Bal Tashchis

Thanks
