And that’s why I always say that eating an egg shouldn’t be a lost opportunity. Of course it’s a kosher egg. You’re not eating an ostrich egg. That’s already a testimony to the aristocracy of the Bnei Yisroel. But you should also marvel at the egg because it’s one of the greatest testimonies to the emunah!
The Leitz Remains Unimpressed
You want to become a maamin? You want to become a person who is convinced of the Creator and His wisdom? Study the things that are put on the table for you to eat. That’s the primary purpose of food, of eating.
But all these ideas go lost on the leitz. When the leitz hears these things he scorns it. He’s not impressed. “It’s true” he says, “but it’s not important like Rabbi Miller says. Food is food. It’s for eating.”
That’s already like the leitzanus of Amalek. When he says it’s not so important then he is doing the job of a leitz – taking something which is chashuv by Hashem and saying it's not chashuv. And the fact that he’s wearing a big black hat – not the kind that bends down in the front; he wears the hat that goes up all around – it won’t help him.
