What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Ricky Cohen’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

okay so the um i want to touch on uh an area tonight that's a little more subtle uh and we're gonna do a couple of uh of uh you know references to jewish law specifically and to the nuances of the sources so we'll start out with the case what if someone sold somebody else let's say it was it applies jew or non-jew non-jew what if it a jewish person sold even a non-jewish person doesn't make a difference what if he sold him something and represented it as kosher meat and it turned out that it's unkosher meat now let's start with the top level he represented something as kosher which generally speaking is more expensive the person thought he was buying kosher the person thought he was buying kosher but he was buying unkosher so what's the story with that what do you say i think he i mean he'd get a sin for for lying but not for making him eat non-kosher it's not okay he's not getting good he's not gonna eat it he's gonna resell it yeah only three sellers here good so you have one guy represented something as kosher represented something as kosher another guy thought he was buying kosher paid for kosher but it was unkosher which is less expensive okay it's like it's like what you said it doesn't really matter that he's not it doesn't that it's just the fact that he lied it's just not good for his soul so a you have theft because he overpaid for the product right b you have misrepresentation good okay represented something is kosher it's
