<DIV>Someone wrote:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"The RY giving our shiur thought that throwing out the food is baal
taschit."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Time once again to explain that this should be "bal tashchit" -- "Do not
destroy." "Bal" is spelled bais-lamed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It should not be written "baal tashchit" -- a nonsense phrase that if
translated literally would mean "Master of you-will-destroy."<BR></DIV>
