An Olive-Bulk of Fat. Good?
Question
On a Jewish holiday I want to eat an olive-bulk of meat, as required by law. I don’t like meat, but I do like fat. If I eat many olive-bulks of fat, do I fulfill my obligation of rejoicing on a Jewish holiday? And if someone eats an olive-bulk of pig fat, would he receive lashes?
Answer
You fulfill your obligation even without eating meat at all.
As for eating prohibitions, fat is like meat.
