🤖 A robot turns on the oven by itself and cooks. No Jew touched it. Is that food cooked by a non-Jew? Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, takes a question from the audience and follows it somewhere nobody expected.
He starts with the rule everyone knows: one must be careful with food cooked by a non-Jew. Then he brings the reason, and it is not the one people assume. Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, cites Rav Moshe Feinstein in Igrot Moshe, who asked thirty or forty years ago why there is so much intermarriage and assimilation — and answered: because people eat food cooked by non-Jews, and that leads, G-d forbid, to marriage with non-Jews.
Then the question: a person has a robot, an electronic robot that goes by itself, turns on the oven and cooks — is that bishul akum? A Jew did not turn it on; the robot did. “A beautiful question,” Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, shlit’a, says, and then does what a real teacher does: perhaps we should ask the greatest arbiter of our generation, Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, what the law is for cooking by a robot. The question is left standing — and that is the lesson.
