[Avodah] timtum halev

[Rich, Joel]

Also, I think that this ties into the machlokes of whether rov causes issur to change into heter, or just is a hanhaga allowing us to eat the food. Nifka mina: if a piece of issur is mixed with two pieces of heter, is one person allowed to eat all three pieces? See discussion in Beis Yosef Y.D. 109 summarizing the views of Rosh (yes), Rashba (yes, but not together, just one after the other) and SeMaG--based on Tosfos (no, because then it is definite that he eat an issur). Ramo paskens that l'chatchila we are machmir.

=======================
Lvush y'd 109:1 says the reason to throw one away is because hkb"h will ensure that was the treif one (a la behemtan shel tzodikim)

See also radvaz 1:480 on those who were machmir on safek orlah in israel "karov etzli shechatu al nafsham" (I couldn't help but think of this in the last shmitta year)

The mishneh halachot 7:104 deals with the 1/60-mentio8ns bnei yisachar on raising the sparks & ties to whether issur is nehepach, concludes you can't not eat due to saing it's not kosher but can not eat due to possible timtum.


BTW-why wouldn't one who is worried about timtum demand checking for miyut   sheino matzui?
