(a)The Tana now discusses a case where the Kohen performs the Kemitzah with the intention of eating, on the following day, part of it that is not generally eaten, or to burn part of it that is not generally burned. What does he mean by 'part of it that is ...
1. ... not generally eaten'?
2. ... not generally burned'?
(b)The Tana Kama declares the Minchah Kasher. What does Rebbi Eliezer say?
(c)On which principle is the Tana Kama's ruling based?
1)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a case where the Kohen performs the Kemitzah with the intention of eating, on the following day, part of it that is ...
1. ... not generally eaten - with reference to the Kometz and the Levonah.
2. ... not generally burned - with reference to the Shirayim.
(b)The Tana Kama declares the Minchah Kasher - Rebbi Eliezer declares it Pasul.
(c)The Tana Kama's reason is - based on the principle 'Batlah Da'ato Eitzel Kol Adam (his mind is Bateil to those of everybody else)'.
2)
(a)Rebbi Eliezer reason is based on the double expression "ve'Im He'achol Ye'achel" (in the Pasuk in Tzav, in connection with the Din of Pigul) "ve'Im He'achol Ye'achel mi'Besar Zevach Shelamav". What does we learn from there?
(b)How does Rebbi Eliezer learn from there that even a Machshavah to eat (Machsheves Achilas Adam) what is generally burned (le'Mizbe'ach) also takes effect?
(c)How does the Tana Kama then explain the Torah's use of 'Achilah' with reference to Achilas Mizbe'ach?
2)
(a)Rebbi Eliezer's reason is based on the double expression "ve'Im He'achol Ye'achel" (in the Pasuk in Tzav, in connection with the Din of Pigul) "ve'Im He'achol Ye'achel mi'Besar Zevach Shelamav", from which we learn that Pigul applies both to the Shirayim (Achilas Adam) and to the Kometz and the Levonah (Achilas Mizbe'ach).
(b)Rebbi Eliezer learns that even a Machshavah to eat (Machsheves Achilas Adam) what is generally burned (le'Mizbe'ach) also takes effect from the fact that - the Torah uses an expression of 'Achilah' with regard to burning (See Tos. Yom Tov DH 'Rebbi Eliezer Poseil').
(c)According to the Tana Kama, the Torah does this to teach us that - the Shi'ur of Achilas Mizbe'ach is a k'Zayis (like Achilas Adam).
3)
(a)What will be the Din if the Kohen has in mind ...
1. ... to eat what is edible or to burn what is normally burned on the following day, but less than a k'Zayis?
2. ... to eat half a k'Zayis of what is edible and to burn half a 'k'Zayis of what is normally burned?
(b)What is the reason for the latter ruling?
3)
(a)If the Kohen has in mind ...
1. ... to eat what is edible or to burn what is normally burned on the following day, but less than a k'Zayis or ...
2. ... to eat half a k'Zayis of what is edible and to burn half a 'k'Zayis of what is normally burned - the Minchah remains Kasher.
(b)The reason for the latter ruling is - because Achilah and Haktarah do not combine (See Tos. Yom Tov).
4)
(a)What is ...
1. ... Yetzikah?
2. ... Belilah?
(b)After which two acts are they performed?
(c)What does the Mishnah say regarding a case where he did not perform either one of the two Avodos?
(d)Why is the Minchah not Pasul because of 'Chasar Shamnah'?
4)
(a)
1. ... Yetzikah is - adding oil, and ...
2. ... Belilah - mixing it with the flour.
(b)They are performed - after the oil and the flour have been poured into the K'li (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(c)The Mishnah rules that even though he did not perform either one of the two Avodos - the Minchah is nevertheless Kasher.
(d)The Minchah is not Pasul because of 'Chasar Shamnah' - since it speaks where he initially poured the entire Log of oil into the K'li.
5)
(a)The Gemara explains that the *Yetzikah* is actually crucial to the Minchah. What does the Tana then mean when he rules 'Lo Yatzak', Kasher'?
(b)What if the *Belilah* is not performed at all?
(c)From when on must the Avodas ha'Minchah be performed by a Kohen.
5)
(a)The Gemara explains that the *Yetzikah* is actually crucial to the Minchah (See Tos. Yom Tov), and that when the Tana rules 'Lo Yatzak', Kasher', he is referring to - where it was not performed by a Kohen, but by a Zar (Ibid.).
(b)If, on the other hand, the *Belilah* is not performed at all - the Minchah is nevertheless Kasher (Ibid.).
(c)The Avodas ha'Minchah must be performed by a Kohen - from the Kemitzah and onwards (Ibid.) .
6)
(a)The Mishnah continues with the list of what is Kasher Bedi'eved 'Lo Pasas, Lo Malach, Lo Heinif, Lo Higish'. What is Pesisah'?
(b)The Pasuk in Vayikra "Posos osah Pitim" is written in connection with Minchah al ha'Machavas. Which group of Menachos does the ruling include?
(c)Which other two Menachos does this incorporate?
(d)In fact, the Pesisah is crucial to the Minchah. What does the Mishnah then mean when it states 'Lo Pasas' Kasher'.
(e)By the same token, considering that salting is crucial to the Minchah, what does the Tana mean when he states 'Lo Malach, Kasher'?
6)
(a)The Mishnah continues with the list of what is Kasher Bedi'eved 'Lo Pasas' - (he did not break it into pieces), Lo Malach (See Tos. Yom Tov DH 'Lo Malach, Lo Heinif'), Lo Heinif, Lo Higish'.
(b)The Pasuk in Vayikra "Posos osah Pitim" is written in connection with Minchah al ha'Machavas and includes - all Menachos which are are brought pre-baked ...
(c)... incorporating - Minchas Marcheshes and Minchas Ma'afeh Tanur.
(d)In fact, the Pesisah is crucial to the Minchah (See Tos. Yom Tov), and when the Mishnah then states 'Lo Pasas' Kasher' - it is referring to where they broke up the amount that is required for the Kemitzah, but not the rest.
(e)By the same token, considering that salting is crucial to the Minchah (See Tos. Yom Tov DH 'Lo Malach'), when the Tana states 'Lo Malach, Kasher', he means that - they only salted the Kometz.
7)
(a)To which two Menachos is the Tana referring, when he adds 'Lo Heinif' to the current list?
(b)What does the Mishnah say about 'Lo Higish'? What is 'Hagashah'?
(c)The last two items on the list are she'Pas'san Pitim Merubos and Lo Meshachan. What is the definition of 'Pitim Merubos'?
(d)Having declared Kasher 'Lo Pasas', why does the Tana see fit to add 'Pitim Merubos'?
(e)What exactly is the Tana referring to when he concludes 'Lo Meshachan' (he did not anoint them with oil)?
7)
(a)When the Tana adds 'Lo Heinif' to the current list, he is referring to - the Minchas Chotei and the Minchas Sotah (both of which require Tenufah) ...
(b)... and the list continues with 'Lo Higish' (carrying the Kometz to the south-western corner of the Mizbe'ach).
(c)The last two items on the list are 'she'Pas'san Pitim Merubos' - (pieces that are larger than a quarter of the Kometz) and 'Lo Meshachan'.
(d)In spite of having declared Kasher 'Lo Pasas', the Tana sees fit to add 'Pitim Merubos' - because we would otherwise have thought that the former is Kasher because at least it falls under the category of loaves, whereas the latter is neither loaves nor pieces.
(e)When the Tana he concludes 'Lo Meshachan' (he did not anoint them with oil), he is referring to - the wafer Matzos that require Meshichah.
8)
(a)What does the Mishnah say in a case where the Kometz of one Minchah became mixed up with ...
1. ... the Kometz of another Minchah?
2. ... the Minchah of a Kohen?
(b)What is the reason for these rulings?
(c)According to the Tana Kama, the same din will apply where the Kometz of a Minchah became mixed up with the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach or with a Minchas Nesachim. On what grounds does Rebbi Yehudah disagree?
(d)The Minchah of a Minchas Yisrael comprises one Log of oil to an Isaron (a tenth of an Eifah) of flour (See Tosfos Yom Tov), and that of a Minchas Nesachim, a quarter of a Hin to one Isaron. How many Lugin are there in a Hin?
(e)We learn the amount of oil contained in the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach from the Minchas Tamid, to which the Pasuk compares it. How much oil does the one Isaron of flour of the Minchas Tamid contain?
8)
(a)In a case where the Kometz of one Minchah became mixed up with ...
1. ... the Kometz of another Minchah, or with ...
2. ... the Minchah of a Kohen, the Mishnah rules - that it is Kasher (See Tos. Yom Tov) ...
(b)... since both lots are burned anyway.
(c)According to the Tana Kama, the same din will apply where the Kometz of a Minchah became mixed up with the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach or with a Minchas Nesachim. Rebbi Yehudah disagrees - because their proportion of oil to flour differs from the proportion of oil to flour of the Minchas Yisrael (the former is a thicker mixture than the latter).
(d)The Minchah of a Minchas Yisrael comprises one Log of oil to an Isaron (a tenth of an Eifah) of flour (See Tos. Yom Tov), and that of a Minchas Nesachim, a quarter of a Hin (three Lugin) to one Isaron - because there are twelve Lugin in a Hin.
(e)We learn the amount of oil contained in the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach from the Minchas Tamid, to which the Pasuk compares it. The one Isaron of flour of the Minchas Tamid contains - a quarter of a Hin (the same as the Minchas Nesachim).
9)
(a)According to Rebbi Yehudah, what is the problem with the fact that the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach and the Minchas Nesachim contain more oil than the Minchas Yisrael?
(b)What is the Din regarding the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach and the Minchas Nesachim in this case?
(c)Why is that?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
9)
(a)The problem with the fact that the Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach and the Minchas Nesachim contain more oil than the Minchas Yisrael, according to Rebbi Yehudah is, that - the thicker Kometz absorbs some of their oil. This increases the oil in the Kometz, which in turn, is Mevatel it, with the result that it is a Minchah whose Kometz has not been burned (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(b)The Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach and the Minchas Nesachim however - remain Kasher ...
(c)... because - a. The mixture happened inadvertently and b. the oil that they absorb is Bateil (See Tos. Yom Tov)..
(d)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
10)
(a)On what condition does the Mishnah rule that if two complete Menachos become mixed up, the Kohen takes a Kometz from each one?
(b)What is the status of the two Menachos?
(c)How is this possible?
(d)What if it is not possible to do so?
10)
(a)The Mishnah rules that if two complete Menachos become mixed up, the Kohen takes a Kometz from each one - provided it is possible to do so ...
(b)... and both Menachos are Kasher (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(c)This is possible - if one is sure that the outside of each Minchah is intact.
(d)Otherwise - both Menachos are Pasul.
11)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a case where a Kometz becomes mixed up with a complete Minchah. Why can one not ...
1. ... simply burn the entire mixture (on the Mizbe'ach)?
2. ... separate two Komtzim and burn them?
(b)If the Kohen did burn the entire mixture, what is the Din regarding ...
1. ... the Kometz?
2. ... the complete Minchah?
(c)By the same token, one may not burn a Minchah whose Kometz became mixed up with the Shirayim. Which principle do we learn from the Pasuk in Vayikra "Lo Sakrivu mimenu Isheh la'Hashem"?
(d)What if the Kohen did burn it?
11)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a case where a Kometz becomes mixed up with a complete Minchah. One cannot ...
1. ... simply burn the entire mixture (on the Mizbe'ach) - because one may not burn what is meant to be eaten.
2. ... separate two Komtzim and burn them - because each Kometz is likely to contain part of the mixture, in which case it is incomplete and is Pasul.
(b)If the Kohen did burn the entire mixture ...
1. ... the Kometz - is Kasher.
2. ... the complete Minchah - is Pasul, and the owner has not fulfilled his obligation.
(c)By the same token, one may not burn a Minchah whose Kometz became mixed up with the Shirayim. We learn from the Pasuk in Vayikra "Lo Sakrivu mimenu Isheh la'Hashem" that - whenever part of a Korban is burned on the Mizbe'ach, it is forbidden to bring the Shirayim on the Mizbe'ach.
(d)If the Kohen did burn it - the Minchah is Kasher, and the owner has fulfilled his obligation.
12)
(a)If the Kometz becomes Tamei or is taken out of the Azarah (Yotzei), it becomes Pasul and may not be burned. What distinction does the Tana draw between the former and the latter there where the Kohen did burn it on the Mizbe'ach?
(b)Why is that?
(c)We learn this from the Pasuk in Tetzaveh (in connection with the Tzitz) "ve'Nasa Aharon es Avon ha'Kodashim". On what grounds do we restrict this to the sin of Tum'ah?
(d)The problem with this is that Yotzei too, has a concession that Tum'ah does not. Which concession?
(e)How do we resolve the problem, based on the Pasuk (Ibid.) "le'Ratzon lahem lifnei Hash-m"?
12)
(a)If the Kometz becomes Tamei or is taken out of the Azarah (Yotzei), it becomes Pasul and may not be burned. In the event that the Kohen did burn it on the Mizbe'ach the Tana rules that - the Tzitz (that the Kohen Gadol wears on his forehead) atones on the former (whose owner is therefore not obligated to bring another Minchah), but not on the latter ...
(b)... because the Tzitz only atones for the sin of Tum'ah.
(c)We learn this from the Pasuk in Tetzaveh (in connection with the Tzitz) "ve'Nasa Aharon es Avon ha'Kodashim" - which we restrict to the sin of Tum'ah - which possesses the concession that permits it be'Tzibur (which no other P'sul does) See Tos. Yom Tov.
(d)The problem with this is that Yotzei too, has a concession that Tum'ah does not - namely, that it is permitted on a Bamah.
(e)And we resolve the problem, based on the Pasuk (Ibid.) "le'Ratzon lahem lifnei Hash-m" which indicates that - the concession must be 'Lifnei Hashem' (which Tum'ah is, but Yotzei [on the Bamah] is not). See also Tos. Yom Tov.
13)
(a)Based on his opinion in Pesachim, Rebbi Eliezer says that if the Shirayim become Tamei, the Minchah is Kasher. What does he say there about a Korban where the Basar is Tamei?
(b)What is the connection between that Din and the Din of the Minchah?
(c)What if the Shirayim got burned or lost?
13)
(a)Based on his opinion in Pesachim, Rebbi Eliezer says that if the Shirayim become Tamei, the Minchah is Kasher. There he says that even if the Basar of a Korban is Tamei - the Korban remains Kasher, as long as the blood is intact.
(b)By the same token, bearing in mind that the Kometz is like the blood and the Shirayim, like the Basar - the Minchah remains Kasher, even if the Shirayim became Tamei, as long as the Kometz is intact ...
(c)... and the same will apply - if the Shirayim got burned or lost.
14)
(a)What does Rebbi Yehoshua say?
(b)On what condition will Rebbi Yehoshua concede that the Minchah and the Korban) is Kasher?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
14)
(a)According to Rebbi Yehoshua 'Im Ein Basar, Ein Dam'. Consequently - if the Shirayim became Tamei, burned or lost, the Minchah is Pasul.
(b)Rebbi Yehoshua will concede that the Minchah (and the Korban) is Kasher - if even a little of the Shirayim (or the Basar) remains intact.
(c)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Yehoshua (See Tos. Yom Tov).
15)
(a)The Tana Kama declares Pasul the Kometz that the Kohen burns on the Mizbe'ach without first placing it in a K'li Shareis. What does Rebbi Shimon say?
(b)He learns it from the Torah's comparison of the Minchah to a Chatas. How is the blood of a Chatas sprinkled?
(c)What does Rebbi Shimon now learn from the Chatas?
15)
(a)The Tana Kama declares Pasul the Kometz that the Kohen burns on the Mizbe'ach without first placing it in a K'li Shareis. Rebbi Shimon - declares it Kasher.
(b)He learns it from the Torah's comparison of the Minchah to a Chatas - whose blood is sprinkled - with the finger.
(c)Likewise, Rebbi Shimon says - if the Kohen brings the Kometz to the Mizbe'ach with his hand, without a K'li, it is Kasher.
16)
(a)In which case will Rebbi Shimon concede that the Minchah is Pasul ...
1. ... if he uses his hand?
2. ... even if he uses his right hand?
(b)From where do we learn that the blood of the Chatas (and the Hagashah of the Kometz) must be performed with the right hand?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
16)
(a)Rebbi Shimon will concede that the Minchah is Pasul ...
1. ... if he uses his left hand.
2. ... and even if he uses his right hand - if he did not place the Kometz in a K'li Shareis after performing the Kemitzah.
(b)We learn that the blood of the Chatas (and the Hagashah of the Kometz) must be performed with the right hand - because the Torah uses the word "Etzba" and "Kohen" (and the words "Etzba' and "Kohen" always indicate using the right hand [See Tos. Yom Tov]).
(c)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
17)
(a)What does the Tana mean when he says that a Kometz that one burns twice is Kasher?
(b)What if the Kohen burns it in three lots?
(c)Why is that?
17)
(a)When the Tana says that a Kometz that one burns twice is Kasher, he means - that the Kohen places it on the Mizbe'ach in two lots.
(b)If he burns it in three lots - it is Pasul ...
(c)... since the basic Shi'ur of the Kometz is two k'Zeisim, and the minimum Shi'ur Haktarah is a k'Zayis.
18)
(a)What does the Tana mean when he says that the minority of the Kometz holds back the majority?
(b)From which Pasuk in Tzav does he learn it?
18)
(a)When the Tana says that the minority of the Kometz holds back the majority, he means that - if the smallest amount is missing from the Shi'ur Kometz, it is Pasul.
(b)He learns it from the Pasuk in Tzav - "M'lo Kumtzo" (his fistful), indicating that the (loose) fist must be completely full (See Tos. Yom Tov0.
19)
(a)What equivalent ruling does the Mishnah issue with regard to ...
1. ... the Isaron of flour?
2. ... the wine, the flour and the oil of a Minchah?
(b)The amount of wine that is requires for a bull is half a Hin (six lugim). How much is needed for ...
1. ... a ram?
2. ... a lamb?
(c)The same quantity of oil is required for a Minchas Nesachim. How much oil is required for a Minchas Nedavah?
19)
(a)Likewise, the Mishnah rules that ...
1. ... the Isaron of flour (See Tos. Yom Tov) and ...
2. ... the wine (Ibid.), the flour (Ibid.) and the oil (Ibid.) of a Minchah - must comprise the full Shi'ur.
(b)The amount of wine that is requires for a bull is half a Hin (six lugim [thirty-six egg-volumes]), for ...
1. ... a ram - a third of a Hin, and for ...
2. ... a lamb - a quarter of a Hin (three Lugim [eighteen egg-volumes]).
(c)The same quantity of oil is required for a Minchas Nesachim - but a Minchas Nedavah requires - one Log (six egg-volumes).
20)
(a)In similar vein to the previous cases, what does the Mishnah say, based on the Pasuk ...
1. ... in Vayikra "mi'Girsah (i.e. the flour) u'mi'Shamnah"?
2. ... in Tzav "ve'Heirim mimenu be'Kumtzo ... al Kol Levonasah"?
20)
(a)In similar vein to the previous cases, the Mishnah rules, based on the Pasuk ...
1. ... in Vayikra "mi'Girsah (the flour) u'mi'Shamnah" that - both the flour and the oil are crucial to one another (See Tos. Yom Tov).
2. ... in Tzav "ve'Heirim mimenu be'Kumtzo ... al Kol Levonasah" that - both the Kometz and the Levonah are crucial to one another (Ibid.).
21)
(a)What does the Tana say about the two goats (la'Hashem and la'Azazel) on Yom Kipur, the two lambs (on Shavu'os) and the two loaves (on Shavu'os)?
(b)He issues the same ruling regarding the two rows and the two Bazichin. What are ...
1. ... the two rows?
2. ... the Bazichin?
(c)What if for some reason, there are no loaves or no Bazichin on the Shulchan?
21)
(a)The Tana rules that the two goats (la'Hashem and la'Azazel) on Yom Kipur, the two lambs (on Shavu'os) and the two loaves (on Shavu'os) - are crucial to one another (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(b)He issues the same ruling regarding the two ...
1. ... rows of loaves - (six loaves per row), and ...
2. ... Bazichin - small bowls of frankincense that are placed, one beside each row of loaves.
(c)If for some reason, there are no loaves on the Shulchan - the Kohen does not place the Bazichin on it, and if there are no Bazichin - he does not place the rows.
22)
(a)The list of things that are crucial to one another continues with the two kinds of loaves of a Nazir, the three items of the Parah Adumah and the four kinds of loaves of the Korban Todah. What are ...
1. ... the two kinds of loaves of a Nazir?
2. ... the three items of the Parah Adumah?
(b)Two of the kinds of loaves of the Korban Todah are Chalos Matzos and Rekikei Matzos. What are the other two?
(c)The next items on the list are the four species on Succos and the four species used to purify a Metzora. What if one takes the former one by one?
(d)Two of the four species used to purify a Metzora are a twig of cedar and a twig of hyssop. What are the other two?
22)
(a)The list of things that are crucial to one another continues with the two kinds of loaves of a Nazir, the three items of the Parah Adumah and the four kinds of loaves of the Korban Todah. The ...
1. ... two kinds of loaves of a Nazir are - Chalos Matzos and Rekikei (wafer) Matzos,
2. ... three items of the Parah Adumah are - a twig of cedar, a twig of hyssop and a red thread.
(b)Two of the kinds of loaves of the Korban Todah are Chalos Matzos and Rekikei Matzos. The other two are - scalded flour and Chametz loaves.
(c)The next items on the list are the four species on Succos and the four species used to purify a Metzora. One is Yotzei the former - even if one takes them one by one (since binding is not mandatory).
(d)Two of the four species used to purify a Metzora are a twig of cedar and a twig of hyssop. The other two are - a red thread and a live bird (as opposed to the bird that is Shechted) See also Tos. Yom Tov.
23)
(a)To which Hazayos (sprinklings of blood) is the Tana referring when he says that the seven Hazayos of the cow are crucial to one another?
(b)In which direction does the Kohen sprinkle them?
(c)Where is he standing when he sprinkles them?
23)
(a)When the Tana says that the seven Hazayos (sprinklings of blood) of the cow are crucial to one another, he is referring to - the Hazayos of the Parah Adumah, which the Kohen sprinkles ...
(b)... towards the Ohel Mo'ed (See Tiferes Yisrael) ...
(c)... whilst standing on the Har ha'Zeisim.
24)
(a)The Mishnah repeats this ruling with regard to the three times that the Kohen Gadol sprinkles the blood seven times on Yom Kipur. Which three times?
(b)How many times does he perform this ritual?
(c)Which set of four Matanos on Yom Kipur is included in this ruling, even though the Tana does not mention it specifically?
24)
(a)The Mishnah repeats this ruling with regard to the three times that the Kohen Gadol sprinkles the blood seven times on Yom Kipur - towards the Aron ('between the poles'), towards the Paroches (from the Heichal) and on the Mizbe'ach ha'Zahav.
(b)He performs this ritual twice - once with the blood of the bull, and once with the blood of the goat.
(c)The set of four Matanos on Yom Kipur that - the Kohen Gadol places on the Mizbe'ach ha'Zahav with the remaining blood of the two animals mixed together, is included in this ruling, even though the Tana does not mention it specifically.
25)
(a)Which other two Korbanos require sprinkling seven times towards the Paroches and on the Mizbe'ach ha'Zahav (besides that of the Par Kohen ha'Mashi'ach)?
(b)When the Torah writes in Vayikra (in connection with the Par He'elam Davar shel Tzibur) "ve'Asah la'Par ka'asher Asah le'Par ha'Chatas", what do we learn from the word ...
1. ... "le'Par"?
2. ... "ha'Chatas"?
25)
(a)The two other Korbanos that require sprinkling seven times towards the Paroches and on the Mizbe'ach ha'Zahav (besides that of the Par Kohen ha'Mashi'ach) are - that of the Par He'elam Davar shel Tzibur and the Se'irei Avodah-Zarah shel Tzibur.
(b)When the Torah writes in Vayikra (in connection with the Par He'elam Davar shel Tzibur) "ve'Asah la'Par ka'asher Asah le'Par ha'Chatas", we learn from the word ...
1. ... "le'Par" that - the same applies to the Par Kohen Mashi'ach.
2. ... "ha'Chatas" that - the same applies to the Se'irei Avodah-Zarah (See also Meleches Shlomoh).
26)
(a)The list of things that are crucial to one another continues with the seven branches of the Menorah. What else on the Menorah does the Mishnah include in the list?
(b)The same applies to the two Parshiyos of the Mezuzah and the four Parshiyos of the Tefilin. What are ...
1. ... the two Parshiyos of the Mezuzah?
2. ... the two additional Parshiyos of the Tefilin?
(c)What is the Tana referring to when he says that even one letter is crucial to them (and to a Seifer Torah)?
(d)The previous ruling pertains to the Tefilin shel Yad, which are written on one K'laf (piece of parchment). What is the Din regarding the Tefilin shel Rosh, which are written on four different K'lafim?
26)
(a)The list of things that are crucial to one another continues with the seven branches of the Menorah (See Tos. Yom Tov) - and its seven lamps.
(b)The same applies to ...
1. ... the two Parshiyos of the Mezuzah - 'Sh'ma' and 've'Hayah Im Shamo'a', and ...
2. ... the four Parshiyos of the Tefilin are - 'Sh'ma', 've'Hayah Im Shamo'a', 'Kadeish' and 've'Hayah ki Yevi'acha".
(c)When the Tana says that even one letter is crucial to them (and to a Seifer Torah) he means that - even if the letter is written, but that it is not surrounded with parchment ('Mukaf G'vil' [See Tos. Yom Tov]), it is Pasul.
(d)The previous ruling pertains to the Tefilin shel Yad, which are written on one K'laf (piece of parchment). The same applies to the Tefilin shel Rosh - even though they are written on four different K'lafim.
27)
(a)According to the Tana Kama, the four Tzitziyos on a garment are also crucial to one another. What does Rebbi Yishmael say?
(b)Like whom is the Halachah?
27)
(a)According to the Tana Kama, the four Tzitziyos on a garment are also crucial to one another (See Tos. Yom Tov). Rebbi Yishmael maintains that - they are four independent Mitzvos (Ibid.) and are therefore not crucial to one another.
(b)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
