KINIM 25 (18 Iyar, Lag ba'Omer) - Dedicated by Avi and Lily Berger of Queens, N.Y., in memory of Lily's father, Mr. Benny Krieger (Chananel Benayahu ben Harav Yisrael Avraham Aba), Zt"l, who passed away nine years ago on Lag ba'Omer 5763. Mr. Krieger exemplified Ahavas Chesed, Ahavas Torah and Ahavas Eretz Yisrael.

The reference numbers below that appear in parentheses (e.g., TY #43) represent vessels or parts of the structure of the Beis ha'Mikdash. The labeling follows that of the diagram of the Tiferes Yisrael. This diagram, which has been included in a separate mailing and can also be found on our site (at http://www.dafyomi.co.il/midos/mids-charts.htm), is printed both in the Tiferes Yisrael Mishnayos (Midos Chapter 2 or following Midos) and in Rav P. Kahati's Mishnayos (page 290, at the beginning of Midos).

*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************

We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, the Tzon Kodashim 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] Rosh [at the beginning of the Perek]:

The words "Ad Sof ha'Perakim" òã ñåó äôø÷éí are unnecessary

1)[line 1]áï òæàé àåîø ùúé çèàåúBEN AZAI OMER SHTEI CHATA'OS- and Ben Azai rules that she must offer two Chata'os, one Tor and one Ben Yonah (since Ben Azai rules (Kinim 2:5) that "Holchin Achar ha'Rishon" and it is possible that she fulfilled her obligation with the first Olas ha'Of that she offered, but it is not known which type that was)

2)[line 2]ëùåà çéKESHE'HU CHAI- when it (a ram) is alive

3)[line 2]÷åìå àçãKOLO ECHAD- it has one "voice," i.e. its bleat

4)[line 2]åëùäåà îú ÷åìå ùáòäUCHESHE'HU MES, KOLO SHIV'AH- and when it is dead, it has seven "voices" (as the Mishnah proceeds to delineate; this parallels the case of the woman who must offer seven more birds to fulfill her obligation, when she is in the unfortunate state of the Mishnah)

5)[line 4]çöåöøåúCHATZOTZROS- (a) horns used by the musicians to accompany the Leviyim when they sing (since the Chatzotzeros of the Kohanim were made of silver — Menachos 28a) (ROSH, 1st explanation); (b) Shofaros, according to the Gemara (Shabbos 36a, Sukah 34a) that the words "Shofar" and "Chatzotzerah" were interchanged (ROSH, 2nd explanation)

6)[line 4]ùå÷éåSHOKAV- its thigh bones

7)[line 4]çìéìéïCHALILIN- flutes

8)[line 4]úåóTOF- a drum

9)[line 5]îòéåME'AV- its small intestines

10)[line 5]ðáìéíNEVALIM- [the strings of] lyres

11)[line 5]áðé îòéåBNEI ME'AV- its colon (the Hadura d'Kanta, which is thinner, in ruminants, than the small intestine)

12)[line 5]ëéðåøåúKINOROS- [the strings of] lutes

13)[line 5]éù àåîøéí àó öîøå ìúëìúYESH OMRIM AF TZIMRO TECHELES- and there are those who state that even its wool is used to make wool dyed the color Techeles [which is used for making the Me'il of the Kohen Gadol, which had bells attached to its hem — MEFARESH, TOSFOS] (this extra "voice" of the ram corresponds to the extra bird required by Ben Azai — RAZAH, CHOK NASAN)

14)[line 7]òìéäï ãòúï îéèøôúDAITAN MITAREFES ALEIHEM- their minds become more confused

15)[line 8]"îñéø ùôä ìðàîðéí, åèòí æ÷ðéí é÷ç""MESIR SAFAH L'NE'EMANIM, V'TA'AM ZEKENIM YIKACH."- "He removes the speech of those who trust [in themselves], and takes away the understanding of the aged." (Iyov 12:20)
