**********************GIRSA SECTION*********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach and the marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any other important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi and Tosfos.
[1] Gemara 15a [line 31]:
"Ela Amar Rabah... va'Yamusu ha'Anashim" àìà àîø øáä ... åéîåúå äàðùéí
It appears that the word "Ela" àìà is unnecessary
[2] Rashi 15b DH Hai Minaihu ã"ä äé îéðééäå:
The word "Kesiv Gedolos" ëúéá âãåìåú
should be "Kesiv Gadlus" ëúéá âãìåú
*******************************************************
1)[line 21]ìà îìà ñàúïLO MALEI SE'ASAN- their measure (of sins) was not filled
2)[line 23]"áîìàú ñô÷å éöø ìå""BI'MLOS SIFKO YETZER LO"- "When the amount that suffices will be filled, he will be in straits" (Iyov 20:22)
3)[line 30]àì úé÷øé (ëé çæ÷ äåà) îîðå àìà îîðåAL TIKREI (KI CHAZAK HU) "MIMENU" ELA "MIMENU"- do not explain this as "from us" but as "from Him" (both Hebrew words are spelled and pronounced the same) (TOSFOS 15b DH Al)
4)[line 42]ðçì ÷éùåïNACHAL KISHON (SISRA)
(a)After the death of the Shofet Ehud ben Geira, Bnei Yisrael became lax in their observance of Torah and Mitzvos. In order to prompt them to do Teshuvah, HaSh-m caused King Yavin of Chatzor to attack and subjugate them. After twenty years of subjugation under the cruel general Sisera, Benei Yisrael finally repented and cried out to HaSh-m to save them.
(b)Since they were now worthy of redemption, HaSh-m told Devorah the prophetess that if Benei Yisrael wage war against Sisera, they will be successful. She and Barak ben Avino'am led Bnei Yisrael to victory, with the help of HaSh-m, who caused a flash flood in Nachal Kishon that wiped out much of Sisera's army and all of his 900 iron chariots. Sisera escaped the battlefield, only to be killed by Ya'el, the wife of Chever ha'Keini. The account of this battle and the glorious Song of Devorah that it inspired are recorded in Shoftim 4-5.

7)[line 19]ìçìåèéïL'CHALUTIN- permanently, in a finalized manner
8)[line 19]îöåøò îåñâø/ îöåøò îåçìèMETZORA MUSGAR / METZORA MUCHLAT (HESGER / HECHLET)
When a person, article of clothing made of wool or linen, or a house develops a mark of Tzara'as, a Kohen must ascertain whether or not it is Tamei. Under certain conditions, the Kohen puts them in quarantine (Hesger), and returns after a week to see what changes, if any, have happened to the mark. A person, article of clothing, or house that is confirmed to be Tamei is called Muchlat. (See Background to Erchin 3:4b for the different types of Nega'im of a person and their respective laws.)
9)[line 20]ôøéòä/ ôøéîäPERI'AH / PERIMAH
A Metzora Muchlat (a person whom the Kohen has confirmed to be a Metzora; see previous entry) must let his hair grow ("Peri'ah"), make a tear ("Perimah") of at least a Tefach in his clothes and cover his head down to his lips like a mourner, as stated in Vayikra 13:45.

14)[line 33]âçìé øúîéíGACHALEI RESAMIM- coals of Rotem wood, which continue to burn inside long after their exterior is extinguished. A person who speaks Lashon ha'Ra appears harmless on the outside, when actually he is very destructive; also, the devastating effects of slander are long-enduring.
