Mishnah 1
1)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about ...
1. ... the white and the T'cheiles (the dark blue strand) of the Tzitzis (See Tosfos Yom Tov)?
2. ... the Tefilin shel Yad and the Tefilin shel Rosh?
(b)Regarding the former ruling, how many strands of white and how many of blue should the Tzitzis contain?
(c)On what condition does the Rambam issue the latter ruling?
(d)Why is that?
(e)This is not Halachah however, because the Gemara refutes that suggestion. Why does it do that?
1)
(a)The Mishnah rules that ...
1. ... the white and the T'cheiles (the dark blue strand) of the Tzitzis and ...
2. ... the Tefilin shel Yad and the Tefilin shel Rosh - are not crucial to one another (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(b)Regarding the former ruling - the Tzitzis should contain either two strands of each (See Tos. Yom Tov), or three strands of white and one of blue.
(c)The Rambam issues the latter ruling - provided one has the other Tefilin at home (See Tos. Yom Tov) ...
(d)... in case one comes to wear the one without the other permanently.
(e)This is not Halachah however, because the Gemara refutes that suggestion - based on the argument that it is not because a person cannot keep two Mitzvos that he should not keep one (See Previous Tos. Yom Tov).
2)
(a)And what does the Tana say about the flour and oil of a Minchah, on the one hand, and the wine on the other?
(b)Which Minchah is the Tana referring to?
(c)What do we learn from the Pasuk in Re'ei "ve'Dam Zevachecha Yishafech" in connection with the Matanos of the Mizbe'ach ha'Chitzon?
2)
(a)The Tana also rules that the flour and oil of a Minchah, on the one hand, and the wine on the other - are not crucial to one another (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(b)The Tana is referring to - the Minchas Nesachim.
(c)We learn from the Pasuk in Re'ei "ve'Dam Zevachecha Yishafech" that - the Matanos of the Mizbe'ach ha'Chitzon - are not crucial to one another either.
Mishnah 2
3)
(a)What is the significance of the two sets of bulls, rams and lambs that are brought on Shavu'os?
(b)Whereabouts in the Chumash is each of the two sets mentioned?
(c)If the Kohanim bring seven lambs, one bull and two rams together with the two loaves, how many lambs, bulls and rams comprise the Musaf?
(d)What does the Tana then mean when he says that the bulls, the rams and the lambs are not crucial to one another?
3)
(a)One of the two sets of bulls, rams and lambs that are brought on Shavu'os is brought - together with the Sh'tei ha'Lechem, the other, is - the Musaf.
(b)The first set is mentioned - in Parshas Emor, the second - in Parshas Pinchas.
(c)The Kohanim bring seven lambs, *one* bull and *two* rams together with the two loaves, whereas the Musaf comprises - seven lambs, *two* bulls and *one* ram.
(d)When the Tana then says that the bulls, the rams and the lambs are not crucial to one another, he means that - the bulls, the rams and the lambs of one set respectively, are not crucial to the bulls, the rams and the lambs of other set (See Tos. Yom Tov).
4)
(a)What does Rebbi Shimon say about a case where there is sufficient money to purchase as many bulls as are needed but no additional money for the Nesachim that go with them?
(b)He learns this from the Pasuk in Yechezkel "Eifah la'Par ve'Eifah la'Ayil Ya'aseh Minchah ... ". What problem do we have with this Pasuk?
(c)How does Rebbi Shimon therefore explain "Eifah la'Par ve'Eifah la'Ayil"?
(d)What is the Halachah?
4)
(a)Rebbi Shimon rules, in a case where sufficient money to purchase as many bulls as are needed but no additional money for the Nesachim that go with them - it is preferable to bring one bull together with its Nesachim, than more bulls without them
(b)He learn this from the Pasuk in Yechezkel "Eifah la'Par ve'Eifah la'Ayil Ya'aseh Minchah ... " - which otherwise implies that the price of a bull is equivalent to that of a ram, which as we learned in the previous Perek, is not the case.
(c)Rebbi Shimon therefore explains "Eifah la'Par ve'Eifah la'Ayil" to mean that - it is preferable to bring one bull and one ram together with their respective Menachos than to bring the full quota of animals without them.
(d)The Halachah however is that - one brings the full quota of bulls without the Nesachim.
Mishnah 3
5)
(a)What is the Mishnah now referring to when it discusses the bull, the rams, the lambs and the goat?
(b)If the first three animals are Olos, what is the goat?
(c)What does the Mishnah now say in a case where the Kohanim have ...
1. ... the two loaves but not the animals?
2. ... the animals but not the loaves?
5)
(a)When the Mishnah now discusses the bull, the rams, the lambs and the goat, he is referring to - the same animals (mentioned in Parshas Emor) that are brought together with the two loaves on Shavu'os that we just discussed.
(b)The first three animals are Olos, whereas the goat is - a Chatas.
(c)The Mishnah rules that neither are ...
1. ... the animals crucial to two loaves, nor are ...
2. ... the loaves crucial to the animals.
6)
(a)What does Rebbi Akiva mean when he says that the loaves are crucial to the lambs?
(b)How about the reverse case, where they have the loaves but not the two lambs?
6)
(a)And when Rebbi Akiva says that the loaves are crucial to the lambs, he is referring - to the two lambs that are brought and waved together with them (See Tos. Yom Tov.
(b)In the reverse case, where they have the loaves but not the two lambs - they nevertheless bring them (See Tos. Yom Tov DH 'ha'Lechem Me'akev ... ' & 've'ha'Kevasim ... ').
7)
(a)ben Nannes disagrees with Rebbi Akiva. What does he say?
(b)On what basis does he issue the latter statement?
(c)Why did they not bring the two loaves in the desert?
(d)Like whom does Rebbi Shimon rule?
7)
(a)ben Nannes disagrees with Rebbi Akiva. He maintains that - whereas the lambs are crucial to the loaves, the loaves are not crucial to the lambs.
(b)His latter statement is based on the fact that - during the forty years in the desert, they brought the lambs but not the loaves ...
(c)... because they not have wheat with which to prepare them.
(d)Rebbi Shimon rules like ben Nannes.
8)
(a)Rebbi Shimon says that although the Halachah is like ben Nannes, it is not due to the reason that he (ben Nannes) presented. Why is that?
(b)On which dual principle does Rebbi Shimon base his statement?
(c)On what reasoning does he then base his ruling to bring the lambs without the loaves?
(d)Why is that?
8)
(a)Rebbi Shimon says that although the Halachah is like ben Nannes, it is not due to the reason that he (ben Nannes) presented - since in fact, they did not bring the lambs in the desert either.
(b)Rebbi Shimon bases his statement on the principle that - whatever is mentioned in Parshas Pinchas, they brought in the desert, but not what is mentioned in Parshas Emor (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(c)And he bases his ruling to bring the lambs without the loaves on the fact that - whereas the lambs are able to be Matir themselves, the loaves have nothing to be Matir them ...
(d)... since they may only be eaten once the lambs have been sacrificed.
9)
(a)According to Rebbi Shimon, when did they begin bringing the two loaves?
(b)Like whom is the Halachah?
9)
(a)According to Rebbi Shimon, they began bringing the two loaves - when they entered Eretz Yisrael.
(b)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Shimon (See Tos. Yom Tov DH 'Amar Rebbi Shimon').
Mishnah 4
10)
(a)What does the Tana mean when he says that the Tamid is not crucial to the Musaf, and vice-versa?
(b)How will we reconcile this with the D'rashah "ha'Olah", 'Olah Rishonah', which teaches us that the Olas Tamid is always the first Korban to be brought?
(c)And what does he say about the Musafin being crucial to each other?
10)
(a)When the Tana says that the Tamid is not crucial to the Musaf, and vice-versa - he means that the order in which he brings the T'midin and the Musafin is not crucial ...
(b)... since the D'rashah "ha'Olah", 'Olah Rishonah', which teaches us that the Olas Tamid is always the first Korban to be brought - speaks Lechatchilah, but not Bedi'eved.
(c)And he issues - the same ruling about the Musafin being crucial to each other (See Tiferes Yisrael & Tos. Yom Tov).
11)
(a)The piece of Mishnah that needs to be inserted rules that if they did not bring the lamb in the morning (the Tamid shel Shachar), then they should not bring the Tamid shel Bein ha'Arbayim. In which specific case is the Tana speaking?
(b)From which Pasuk in Tetzaveh (in connection with the Korban Tamid) does he learn this?
(c)What is the basis for this distinction?
(d)What does he then learn from the Pasuk in Pinchas "ve'eis ha'Keves ha'Sheini Ta'aseh ben ha'Arbayim" (that appears on its own after the Torah already wrote "es ha'Keves Echad Ta'aseh ba'Boker, ve'eis ha'Keves ha'Sheini Ta'aseh ben ha'Arbayim")?
(e)Rebbi Shimon establishes this where the Kohanim were Anusin or Shog'gin, but not Meizid. What exactly does he mean?
11)
(a)The piece of Mishnah that needs to be inserted (See Tos. Yom Tov) rules that if they did not bring the lamb in the morning (the Tamid shel Shachar), then they should not bring the Tamid shel Bein ha'Arbayim. The Tana is speaking in a case - where the Mizbe'ach has not yet been inaugurated.
(b)He learns this from - the Pasuk in Tetzaveh "es ha'Keves ha'Echad Ta'aseh ba'Boker, ve'eis ha'Keves ha'Sheini Ta'aseh ben ha'Arbayim".
(c)The basis for this distinction is the fact that - the Pasuk refers specifically to the inauguration of the Mizbe'ach.
(d)And he learns from the Pasuk in Pinchas "ve'eis ha'Keves ha'Sheini Ta'aseh ben ha'Arbayim" (that appears on its own after the Torah already wrote "es ha'Keves Echad Ta'aseh ba'Boker, ve'eis ha'Keves ha'Sheini Ta'aseh ben ha'Arbayim") that - once the Mizbe'ach has been inaugurated, they bring the Tamid shel bein ha'Arbayim even if they the Tamid shel Shachar was not brought.
(e)Rebbi Shimon establishes this where the Kohanim were Anusin or Shog'gin, but not Meizid - in which case, those Kohanim are not permitted to bring the Tamid shel bein ha'Arbayim, though other Kohanim are (See Tos. Yom Tov).
12)
(a)Despite the previous ruling, if the Kohanim fail to bring the Ketores in the morning, the Mishnah permits them to bring the afternoon Ketores. Why is that?
(b)Why does a Kohen who brought the Ketores once never bring it again?
(c)How do we learn this from the Pasuk in ve'Zos ha'Berachah "Yasimu Ketorah be'Apecha"? To which Pasuk is this one juxtaposed?
12)
(a)Despite the previous ruling, if the Kohanim fail to bring the Ketores in the morning, the Mishnah permits them to bring it in the afternoon - because it is rare (if ever) that a Kohen who brought the Ketores once to bring it a second time, it which case they were unlikely to not bring the Ketores be'Medizid.
(b)The reason that a Kohen who brought the Ketores once never brings it again (See Tos. Yom Tov) - is because bringing the Ketores enriches the Kohen who brings, and we want to give as many Kohanim as possible a chance to become wealthy (Ibid.).
(c)We learn this from the Pasuk in ve'Zos ha'Berachah "Yasimu Ketorah be'Apecha" - which is juxtaposed to the Pasuk "Barech Hash-m Cheilo" (which in turn, is a B'rachah for wealth).
13)
(a)What does Rebbi Shimon say about the previous case (where they failed to bring the Ketores in the morning)?
(b)He bases this on the fact that the Mizbe'ach ha'Zahav could only be inaugurated with the Ketores shel bein ha'Arbayim. How does he learn this from the Pasuk in Ki Sisa "ba'Boker be'Heitivo es ha'Neiros Yaktirenah"?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah in both of the above rulings?
13)
(a)According to Rebbi Shimon, if they failed to bring the Ketores in the morning - the Kohen brings both halves of the Ketores in the afternoon.
(b)And he bases this on the fact that the Mizbe'ach ha'Zahav could only be inaugurated with the Ketores shel bein ha'Arbayim, which he learns from the Pasuk in Ki Sisa "ba'Boker be'Heitivo es ha'Neiros (when preparing the Menorah) Yaktirenah", in which case, the inauguration of the Menorah, as well as that of the (complete) Ketores, must have taken place in the afternoon.
(c)The Halachah in both of the above rulings is - like the Tana Kama.
14)
(a)Having stated that the Ketores is inaugurated by the afternoon Ketores (See Me'oros ha'G'ro) and the Menorah, by kindling the seven lamps in the afternoon, what does the Tana say inaugurates ...
1. ... the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah?
2. ... the Shulchan?
14)
(a)Having stated that the Ketores is inaugurated by the afternoon Ketores (See Me'oros ha'G'ro), the Tana says that ...
1. ... the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah is inaugurated - by the Tamid shel Shachar and ...
2. ... the Shulchan on Shabbos - by the Lechem ha'Panim (See Tos. Yom Tov).
Mishnah 5
15)
(a)What is the Chavitei Kohen Gadol?
(b)Why is it called by that name?
(c)What is the Shi'ur of the Chavitin?
(d)When does the Kohen Gadol bring it?
15)
(a)The Chavitei Kohen Gadol is - the Minchah that the Kohen Gadol brings every day.
(b)It is called by that name - because, as the Torah specifically states, he brings it on a Machavas (a flat pan).
(c)The Shi'ur of the Chavitin is - one Isaron (a tenth of an Eifah).
(d)The Kohen Gadol brings - half in the morning and half in the afternoon.
16)
(a)How does the Mishnah describe the way it is initially brought to the Beis ha'Mikdash?
(b)How should he not bring it?
16)
(a)The Mishnah explains that initially - the Kohen Gadol brings the complete Isaron to the Beis ha'Mikdash and halves it there (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(b)He should not bring from home one half in the morning and the other, in the afternoon.
17)
(a)What does the new Kohen Gadol do if the incumbent Kohen Gadol dies after bringing half the Isaron in the morning?
(b)What happens to the second half-Isaron?
(c)Which suggested option should he not adopt?
(d)What does the Tana finally say about the four half-Isronos?
17)
(a)In the event that the incumbent Kohen Gadol dies after bringing half the Isaron in the morning, the new Kohen Gadol - brings an Isaron from home, which he divides and brings half in the afternoon.
(b)The second half-Isaron - is burned (See Tiferes Yisrael).
(c)He should not - bring half an Isaron from home and the remaining half of his predecessor's Isaron (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(d)The Tana concludes that, of the four half-Isronos - two are sacrificed and two are burned.
18)
(a)If a new Kohen Gadol has not yet been appointed, Rebbi Shimon says that in the afternoon, the Chavitin is supplied by the Tzibur. How does he interpret the Pasuk in Tzav (in connection with the Chavitei Kohen Gadol) "Chok Olam"?
(b)What exactly does 'mi'shel Tzibur' mean?
(c)What does Rebbi Yehudah say?
(d)How does he learn it from the Pasuk there "ve'ha'Kohen ha'Mashi'ach Tachtav mi'Banav"?
18)
(a)If a new Kohen Gadol has not yet been appointed, Rebbi Shimon says that in the afternoon, the Chavitin is supplied by the Tzibur, and he learns it from the word "Olam" (in the Pasuk in Tzav, in connection with the Chavitei Kohen Gadol, "Chok Olam") - which he interprets as 'a communal decree/obligation'.
(b)'mi'shel Tzibur' means - from the T'rumas ha'Lishkah.
(c)According to Rebbi Yehudah - it is the heirs of the deceased Kohen Gadol who provide it.
(d)And he learns it from the Pasuk there "ve'ha'Kohen ha'Mashi'ach Tachtav mi'Banav" - in that "ha'Kohen ha'Mashi'ach" refers to the deceased Kohen Gadol, and "Tachtav" to one of his sons.
19)
(a)How does the Chavitin that is brought by the Tzibur or by the Kohen Gadol's heirs differ radically from the Chavitin that is brought by the Kohen Gadol himself?
(b)If Rebbi Shimon learns it from the Pasuk there "Kalil Taktar" (that sometimes the Chavitin is brought complete), how does Rebbi Yehudah learn it from the Pasuk there " ... mi'Banav Ya'aseh osah"?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
19)
(a)The Chavitin that is brought by the Tzibur or by the Kohen Gadol's heirs differs radically from the Chavitin that is brought by the Kohen Gadol himself - inasmuch as the complete Isaron is sacrificed in one go.
(b)Rebbi Shimon learns it from the Pasuk there "Kalil Taktar" (that sometimes the Chavitin is brought complete), whereas Rebbi Yehudah learns it from the Pasuk there " ... mi'Banav Ya'aseh osah" - since "osah" implies 've'Lo Chetzyah'.
(c)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Yehudah.
