that argument is extremely sad! it is so backward to think that chazal would want us to make ourselves sick and throw up and act so disgusting.
Sam: Do you see what you are doing? The shitta that we should do that, and should get sick and throw up, is a completely valid shitta. It is the pashtus in the gemara, and is held of by the shulchan aruch.
Even the shittos that hold it is not the halacha, hold that it was the halacha until the story in the gemara happened.
It is not backward. I’m not saying I understand it, and I’m not saying you should understand it. But to simply sit there on your armchair and call chazal and rishonim “backward” is absolutely wrong.
yummy: why don’t you ask your father that question? Or your rav. Ask them if the shulchan aruch who holds you are supposed to do exactly that, is backward?
