Held Accountable for Everything Your Eyes Saw but Didn't Eat The Laws of Yom Tov 40-14 https://youtu.be/WT8h6AeWcRc What does it mean that a person will one day have to give an account for everything his eyes saw but he did not eat? Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner takes up this statement of our sages and looks at what it says about how we relate to the food Hashem created. The video returns to a topic first raised in a class with kids. It explores the scene of judgment described by our sages, where a person is asked about the beautiful fruits and tasty vegetables in this world. What does a person say when he claims he only wanted black bread? And what answer does he receive? Rabbi Lerner also raises a striking question: why does food in this world taste good at all? He pictures a world where every food tastes like cardboard, and talks about how disappointing food can be when it is spoiled or badly prepared. He then offers a familiar comparison to a gift that someone worked on, crafted and put thought into before handing it to you. If you have ever wondered what the Torah says about food, about the things Hashem created for us in this world, and about the accounting that awaits every person, this short teaching brings the idea into focus.
