His merit protected the world, but did not protect himself.
His merit helped stop the wine spoiling, but did not help stop flax from being stricken.
The story in the Gemara happened when R. Chiya was still in Chutz La’Aretz.
His merit only prevented flax from being stricken after it was taken out of the water in which it was being soaked.
It wasn’t his flax; he was soaking it for someone else.
Why did the Chachamim argue on R. Meir in the Seifa, and not in the Reisha?
They agree with R. Meir in the Reisha.
They could not say that the person in the Reisha is obligated in Kisoi Hadam, because people would think that the Katan’s Shechitah is a good Shechitah.
They argue with both of R. Meir’s statements, and waited for him to finish before responding.
Machlokes between answers A and B.
Machlokes between answers B and C.
Who is concerned for a Miyut?
The Chachamim.
R. Yehudah.
R. Yochanan.
R. Meir
No one.
In which case does R. Yehudah disagree with the Tanna Kamma?
If someone may slaughter animals and birds on the same day.
If someone may cover the blood of two animals together, or if the blood of each one must be covered on its own.
If someone may cover the blood of two birds together, or if the blood of each one must be covered on its own.
Whether the blood of a Beheimah mixed with the blood of a Chayah or Ohf must be covered.
If the blood of an animal and bird may be covered together, or if each must be covered on its own.
Why isn’t the Kisoi of the first animal a Hefsek for the first Shechitah Berachah according to R. Yehudah, necessitating a new Berachah on the second Shechitah?
Indeed, R. Yehudah obligates a new Berachah on the second Shechitah; it’s like deciding to eat after announcing Bircas Hamazon.
Kisui Hadam isn’t a contradiction to Shechitah; someone can Shecht with one hand and cover blood with the other.
The person intends to immediately return to Shechitah as soon as they are done covering the blood, as opposed to Bircas Hamazon where they intended to finish eating.
