Selecting Fruit From a Tray That Also Includes Bad Fruits

Selecting Fruit From a Tray That Also Includes Bad Fruits Day: Friday Date: November 7, 2014 Parshat: Vayera Yalkut Yosef: 319 In memory of Ettel bat Harav Chaim Shalom. One may select from a tray of fruit that has some bad fruits mixed in. If he happens to take out a bad one he may put it aside and select another fruit to eat. The reason this is okay is because his intention when selecting the fruit wasn't to remove it since he didn't know it was bad. However, if he knows the fruit is bad, he may not select it in order to remove it from the mixture. When who is eating from a fruit may cut off a bad spot if he plans on eating the rest of the fruit right away. The DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel.
