Chaim Weiser asks:
Good morning.
R' Chisda said : if one squeezes spinach and put the juice in a mikveh, if it changes the appearance (shinei mar'eh) of the water the mikveh is pasul.
I learned in mishnah, Mikva'os 7:3, "hedi'ach bo salei zeisim v'salei anavim, V'shinu es maarov, kosher." I didn't learn it b'diyuk, it was purim, please explain the difference.

The Kollel replies:
The Tiferes Yisrael explains that the dirt from the contents of the basket (in contrast to a liquid, such as wine) is a Davar she'Ein Bo Mamash (it is not a real substance) and therefore it does not invalidate the Mikvah, despite the fact that it changes its appearance.
