תלמוד על ערלה 2:1
Jerusalem Talmud Orlah
137From here to the last paragraph of the Halakhah the text is also in Nazir 6:10 (fol. 55c). It is clear from the later paragraphs that the original place of the text is in Nazir.Ḥilfai asked Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon [ben Laqish]138Missing here, supplied from the text in Nazir., do condiments forbid with more than 200139The Mishnah implies that ‘orlah does not forbid food if the forbidden part is less than 1/200 of the total. Does this also apply to spices which might be tasted in smaller amounts?? They said to him, condiments are not in more than 200140The 1/200 rule also applies to condiments.. But did we not state141Mishnah 2:4. The Mishnah states that these ingredients, if from ‘orlah, make everything forbidden. Since no quantities are mentioned one has to infer that there is no minimal quantity below which they are not active.: “Anything which sours, spices, or creates dema‘?” If you say about 100 or 200, even if it does not sour, spice, or create dema‘142Defined Demay Chapter 1, Note 175.! But we deal with grapes143Used as condiment for another dish. The 200 rule does not apply to spices proper.. Rebbi Assi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, if they were not raisins, but if they were raisins they are condiments in more than 200. Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, if they were not cooked, but if they were cooked they are condiments in more than 200.
