THE PIRCHEI SHOSHANIM SHULCHAN ARUCH LEARNING PROJECT
Nosain Tam Lifgam
The Pischei Tshuvah brings an instance of a non-Jew who was digging a well fell in and died. It is not known if he was kavush in the water for 24 hours. The Pri Tavuah permitted the water based on a combination of three reasons:
1) This is a case of sofek kavush (like the Rama).
2) The issur of eating a non-Jew is based on an asai (positive commandment) as opposed to a lo t’asai (negative commandment).
3) Perhaps the non-Jew gives a bad taste to the well water.
Came across this (actual text) while doing test research... No joke but had me cracking up enough to put in another few hours of studying :)
Almost, almost done with the taaruvos test (don't ask, it's taking forever) Lord I can't wait to move on.

:) i remember that one
Reason number three, PERHAPS??? You ever smelled a 24 hr. old body?
Is there a way i can get a copy of your answers? im doing the test myself an i would like to compare with some other tests to see how i should answer
g. and if the water is cold???
W: Do you really?
G: Um no, esp not a non-jewish one ;)
SHMUEL: Email me. j6134ever@gmail.com
W: The water does'nt have to be hot for the body to be noisen tam lifgam.
"W: Do you really?" yes really
water temperature can affect decomposition of the body
hence the PERHAPS “Nosain Tam Lifgam”
Shmuel has no qualms about cheating in public, noch.
Don't worry won't tell Rav Yuroslavski on you.
