(a)In another Beraisa, the Tana Kama sentences someone who eats two Gid ha'Nashehs from two different animals, to two sets of Malkos. What does he mean by two Gid ha'Nashehs from two different animals?

(b)What does Rebbi Yehudah say?

(c)What is the problem with establishing the Beraisa where he ate them one after the other with two warnings?

(d)So we establish it where he ate them in one go with two warnings. What will then be the problem with establishing the Tana Kama as the Chachamim of Sumchus?

1)

(a)In another Beraisa, the Tana Kama sentences someone who eats two Gid ha'Nashehs from two different animals, to two sets of Malkos. By two Gid ha'Nashehs from two different animals he means - the two right Gidin.

(b)According to Rebbi Yehudah - he is Chayav two sets of Malkos.

(c)The problem with establishing the Beraisa where he ate them one after the other with two warnings is that - why Rebbi Yehudah would argue with that?

(d)So we establish it where he ate them in one go with two warnings. The problem with establishing the Tana Kama as the Chachamim of Sumchus is that - if they hold that two people are Chayav, then how much more so one person?

2)

(a)Who must therefore be the author of the Beraisa?

(b)What does Rav Yosef now try to prove from here?

2)

(a)The author of the Beraisa must therefore be Sumchus, from which ...

(b)... Rav Yosef tries to prove that - seeing as we are talking about eating them in one go with one warning - even Sumchus renders Chayav two Malkiyos even when it is only one person who transgresses.

3)

(a)How do we refute Rav Yosef's proof? How can we establish the Beraisa even in a case where he ate the Gidin one after the other and still reconcile this with Rebbi Yehudah's opinion?

(b)Why can the Mishnah not be speaking where neither Gid comprises a k'Zayis?

(c)Why does the Tana Kama then hold that he is Chayav two sets of Malkos?

(d)And on what grounds does Rebbi Yehudah disagree with him?

3)

(a)We refute Rav Yosef's proof however, by establishing the Beraisa even where he ate the Gidin one after the other, and the reason that Rebbi Yehudah sentences him to only one set of Malkos is - because the Tana is speaking where one of the Gidin is less than a k'Zayis.

(b)The Mishnah cannot be speaking where neither Gid comprises a 'k'Zayis - because that would entail combining the two half-k'Zeisim, which is not possible, since in order to be considered one after the other, they must have been eaten outside the time limit of K'dei Achilas P'ras apart, in which case, the two half-k'Zeisom would not combine and he would be Patur.

(c)The Tana Kama - considers a Gid to be a Beryah (a complete entity), for which one is Chayav even if it is less than a k'Zayis ...

(d)... whereas Rebbi Yehudah holds - that it is not.

4)

(a)Four times a year our Mishnah obligates someone who sells a Kasher animal to inform the purchaser that he already sold its mother or its child. Why is he Chayav on those occasions, and not during the rest of the year?

(b)One of those occasions is Erev Shemini Atzeres (Hosha'ana Rabah). What is the reason for that?

(c)If two of the three remaining days are Erev Pesach and Erev Shavu'os, what is the third occasion?

(d)What fifth day does the Tana add in the Galil according to Rebbi Yossi ha'Gelili? On what grounds do the other Tana'im disagree with him (see Tosfos DH 'u'che'Divrei')?

4)

(a)Four times a year our Mishnah obligates someone who sells a Kasher animal to inform the purchaser that he already sold its mother or its child. The reason that he is Chayav then, and not during the rest of the year is - because on those days specifically, people tend to purchase animals in order to Shecht them for the big Se'udos that they inevitably serve the following day.

(b)One of those occasions is Erev Shemini Atzeres (Hosha'ana Rabah) - because Shemini Atzeres is an independent Yom-Tov, and people attain high levels of Simchah on it (and we have a principle 'Ein Simchah Ela be'Basar').

(c)Two of the remaining three days are Erev Pesach and Erev Shavu'os, the third is - Erev Rosh Hashanah (see Tosfos DH 'u'che'Divrei').

(d)The fifth day the Rebbi Yossi ha'Gelili adds in the Galil is - Erev Yom Kipur. According to the other Tana'im - they would eat fowl on that day (see Tosfos DH 'u'che'Divrei').

5)

(a)How does Rebbi Yehudah qualify the above ruling? In which case is the seller not obligated to inform the purchaser that he already sold the animal's mother or child?

(b)Under which circumstances does even Rebbi Yehudah concede that he remains obligated to do so?

(c)What other ruling does our Mishnah issue with regard to the above four occasions?

(d)What monetary repercussions does this ruling have regarding the purchaser?

5)

(a)Rebbi Yehudah qualifies the above ruling - by confining it to where the seller sold the first animal earlier on that same day, but if he sold it before that, he is not obligated to inform the purchaser ...

(b)... except for when he sells the mother to the Chasan after selling the child to the Kalah (or vice-versa), in which case, he is Chayav to inform the second purchaser in any case.

(c)The other ruling that our Mishnah issues with regard to the above four occasions is - the owner's obligated to Shecht the animal, even on behalf of one solitary purchaser who only bought a Dinar's-worth of meat.

(d)As a result - should the animal die before the owner has had a chance to Shecht it, the purchaser loses his money.

6)

(a)Is there any obligation upon the purchaser (on those four days) to make inquiries as to whether the owner already sold the mother or the child of the animal earlier that day?

(b)What is the significance of the fact that the Tana refers to having sold the mother to the Chasan and the child to the Kalah (and not vice-versa)?

(c)Bearing in mind that money does not acquire moveable objects, what problem do we have with the earlier ruling which renders the purchaser liable to lose his Dinar should the animal die?

(d)How do we know that the Tana is speaking in a case where he did not make a Kinyan (in spite of Rav Huna Amar Rav, who tries to establish the Mishnah when he did indeed, perform Meshichah)?

6)

(a)On those four days - there is no obligation upon the purchaser to make inquiries as to whether the owner already sold the mother or the child of the animal earlier that day.

(b)The Tana deliberately refers to having sold the mother to the Chasan and the child to the Kalah (and not vice-versa) - based on the Minhag for the Chasan to prepare the bulk of the wedding Se'udah.

(c)Bearing in mind that money does not acquire moveable objects, the problem with the earlier ruling which renders the purchaser liable to lose his Dinar should the animal die is that - since he did not make a Kinyan, what makes him liable to bear the loss.

(d)And we know that the Tana is speaking in a case where he did not make a Kinyan (in spite of Rav Huna Amar Rav, who tries to establish the Mishnah when he did indeed, perform Meshichah) - because if he did, he ought also to lose his money during the rest of the year.

7)

(a)Rav Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak therefore establishes the Mishnah where the owner appointed a third person to acquire the Dinar's-worth of the animal on behalf of the purchaser. How does that explain the difference between the ruling on the four special says and that during the rest of the year?

(b)Rebbi Elazar Amar Rebbi Yochanan establishes the Mishnah where no Kinyan was made other than the money that the purchaser paid the seller. How does he then explain the difference between the four special occasions and the rest of the year?

(c)Rebbi Yochanan follows his own reasoning, that although min ha'Torah, paying for an article acquires it, the Rabbanan decreed that it should not. What is ...

1. ... the source for the Torah law? From which Pasuk in Bechukosai does Rebbi Yochanan learn it?

2. ... the reason for the Rabbanan's decree?

7)

(a)Rav Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak therefore establishes the Mishnah where the owner appointed a third person (without consulting the customer) to acquire the Dinar's-worth of the animal on behalf of the purchaser - a Z'chus (merit) on any of the four specified days, but a Chov (a liability) during the rest of the year. And we have a principle Zachin le'Adam she'Lo be'Fanav, Aval Ein Chavin Ela be'Fanav (One can acquire a merit on someone's behalf even without his knowledge, but can only create a liability for him with his consent).

(b)Rebbi Elazar Amar Rebbi Yochanan establishes the Mishnah where no Kinyan was made other than the money that the purchaser paid the seller, only - on the four special occasions, when it is a Mitzvah to eat meat, the Chachamim reinstated the Torah-law that money acquires, but not during the rest of the year.

(c)Rebbi Yochanan follows his own reasoning, that although min ha'Torah, paying for an article acquires it, the Rabbanan decreed that it should not. The ...

1. ... source for the Torah law is - the Pasuk in Bechukosai (in connection with Hekdesh) "Ve'nasan ha'Kesef Ve'kam lo".

2. ... reason for the Rabbanan's decree is - because they were afraid that if Reuven gives Shimon money for wheat that is lying in his storehouse, and a fire subsequently breaks out before Shimon has had a chance to remove it, Shimon will not take the trouble to extinguish it, since its contents do not belong to him anyway. If, on the other hand, Reuven had made Meshichah, he would probably have moved the wheat to his own storehouse at the same time.

8)

(a)How does our Mishnah define the same day with regard to 'Oso v'es B'no'?

(b)ben Zoma learns it from a Gezeirah-Shavah "Yom Echad" "Yom Echad". From where in Parshas Bereishis does he learn it?

(c)Why, if not for the Gezeirah-Shavah, would we have thought that the night ought to follow the day?

(d)Where by Kodshim, does the night follow the day?

(e)What additional D'rashah does Rebbi Darshen from "Yom Echad" of Oso v'es B'no?

8)

(a)Our Mishnah defines the same day with regard to 'Oso v'es B'no' as - the twenty-four hour period starting from nightfall.

(b)ben Zoma learns it from a Gezeirah-Shavah "Yom Echad" "Yom Echad" - from the creation (in Parshas Bereishis), where the Torah writes "Vay'hi Erev, Vay'hi Voker, Yom Echad ".

(c)If not for the Gezeirah-Shavah, we would have thought that the night ought to follow the day - because 'Oso v'es B'no' is written next to Kodshim, where the night follows the day ...

(d)... as the Torah writes in Tzav (in connection with the Korban Todah) "be'Yom Korbano Ye'achel, Lo Yani'ach mimenu ad Boker".

(e)Rebbi also Darshens from "Yom Echad" of Oso v'es B'no (implying a special occasion ['Yom Meyuchad']) - the Din that we just learned in our Mishnah (that there are some special days on which the owner is obligated to announce that he already sold the animal's mother or child).

Hadran alach 'Oso v'es B'no'

Perek Kisuy ha'Dam

9)

(a)Seeing as Kisuy ha'Dam has nothing to do with the land, why does our Mishnah need to inform us that it applies even in Chutz la'Aretz, and even not in the time of the Beis Hamikdash?

(b)To which kind of animals does it apply?

(c)What is the basic difference between the birds in this Mitzvah and those of Shilu'ach ha'Kein?

9)

(a)Although Kisuy ha'Dam has nothing to do with the land, our Mishnah informs us that it applies even in Chutz la'Aretz, and even not in the time of the Beis Hamikdash - because the Tana wants to add 'be'Chulin Aval Lo be'Mukdashin'.

(b)It applies - to (Kasher) Chayos and birds.

(c)The basic difference between the birds of this Mitzvah and those of Shilu'ach ha'Kein is that - whereas the latter pertains only to birds that one has not prepared, the former pertains also to those that one has.

10)

(a)Why does the Tana need to inform us that the blood of a Coy requires Kisuy?

(b)And what does he say about Shechting it on Yom-Tov?

10)

(a)The Tana needs to inform us that the blood of a Coy requires Kisuy - because it is a Safek Beheimah, Safek Chayah (as we have already learned).

(b)And he adds that - one should not Shecht it on Yom-Tov (since perhaps it requires Kisuy, which is a Melachah), but that if one did, one must leave the blood uncovered (in case it does not).

11)

(a)What does Rebbi Zeira learn from the word "be'Afar" (in the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "Veshachat es Damo Vechisahu be'Afar")?

(b)Based on Rebbi Zeira's D'rashah, what would be the problem with Shechting a Korban Of, and covering its blood, assuming that one ...

1. ... negates the earth that one spreads underneath the bird?

2. ... does not negate the earth that one spreads underneath the bird?

(c)What does Rebbi Yonasan ben Yosef in a Beraisa, say about someone who Shechts ...

1. ... a Chayah and then a Beheimah (so that the blood of the Beheimah is on top)?

2. ... a Beheimah and then a Chayah (so that the blood of the Chayah is on top)?

(d)Then why should one not also cover the blood of a Korban Of on top, even though one is not able to spread earth underneath?

11)

(a)Rebbi Zeira learns from the word "be'Afar" (in the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "Veshachat es Damo Vechisahu be'Afar") that - the blood needs to be covered both underneath and on top (as we already learned in the previous Perek).

(b)Based on Rebbi Zeira's D'rashah, the problem with Shechting a Korban Of, and covering its blood, assuming that one ...

1. ... negates the earth that one spreads underneath the bird is that - one is adding to the Mizbe'ach (bearing in mind that one is forbidden to add or to subtract from the specifications of the Beis-Hamikdash that Hash-m taught David ha'Melech, as recorded in Divrei Hayamim.

2. ... did not negate the earth that one spread underneath the bird - then it is a Chatzitzah (an interruption between the blood and the wall of the Mizbe'ach (and the Pasuk writes in Vayikra "ve'Nimtza Damo al Kir ha'Mizbe'ach").

(c)Rebbi Yonasan ben Yosef rules in a Beraisa, that someone who Shechts ...

1. ... a Chayah and then a Beheimah (so that the blood of the Beheimah is on top) - he is Patur from Kisuy ha'Dam.

2. ... a Beheimah and then a Chayah (so that the blood of the Chayah is on top) - the latter requires Kisuy ha'Dam.

(d)But that is only because (based on the principle 'Kol ha'Ra'uy le'Bilah Ein Bilah Me'akeves bo ... ') - it was initially possible to have spread earth underneath the blood of the Chayah. The blood of a Korban Of on the other hand, where this is not possible (as we just explained), is not subject to Kisuy ha'Dam at all.

12)

(a)We suggest another way of covering the blood of a Korban Of, based on a Mishnah later in the Perek. The Tana there rules that blood that sticks to the Shechitah knife is subject to Kisuy ha'Dam. How would one achieve that?

(b)By the same token, one can do that to the blood of a Chatas ha'Of. Then what does the Tana mean when he says 'Aval Lo be'Mukdashin'?

(c)Why are Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis not subject to Kisuy ha'Dam?

12)

(a)We suggest another way of covering the blood of a Korban Of, based on a Mishnah later in the Perek. The Tana there rules that blood that sticks to the Shechitah knife is subject to Kisuy ha'Dam, which one achieves - by scraping it off the knife and dropping it to the ground.

(b)By the same token, one can do that to the blood of a Chatas ha'Of. Consequently, when the Tana says 'Aval Lo be'Mukdashin' - he is referring (not to Kodshei Mizbe'ach, but) to Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis ...

(c)... which are not subject to Kisuy ha'Dam - because they are Asur be'Hana'ah (and therefore will not be eaten).
