Mishnah 1
1)
(a)In what way does the Kemitzah of a Minchas So'les differ from a Minchas Machavas, Marcheshes and Ma'afeh Tanur?
(b)The Torah does not actually mention Kemitzah with regard to the latter three Menachos. What is the significance of the word "Azkarah" that it mentions by each of them?
(c)What does the Tana Kama say about the Kemitzah and the Shirayim of ...
1. ... these Menachos?
2. ... a Minchas Goyim, Nashim and Omer?
3. ... a Minchas Chotei and Kena'os?
1)
(a)The Kemitzah of a Minchas So'les differs from a Minchas Machavas, Marcheshes and Ma'afeh Tanur in that, unlike them - it is performed whilst it is still dough (before being baked).
(b)The Torah does not actually mention Kemitzah with regard to the latter three Menachos, but we learn it - from the word "Azkarah", which it mentions by each of them (See Me'oros ha'G'ra).
(c)The Tana Kama rules that ...
1. ... these Menachos, as well as ...
2. ... a Minchas Goyim, Nashim, Omer ...
3. ... Chotei and Kena'os - all require Kemitzah and their Shirayim are eaten.
2)
(a)What does Rebbi Shimon say about a Minchas Chotei of a Kohen, even though it is entirely burned?
(b)How are they (the Kometz and the Shirayim) burned on the Mizbe'ach?
(c)What do the Chachamim say?
2)
(a)Rebbi Shimon says that, even though the Minchas Chotei of a Kohen is entirely burned - it nevertheless requires Kemitzah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(b)The two (the Kometz and the Shirayim) - are both burned on the Mizbe'ach - independently.
(c)According to the Chachamim - the Minchas Chotei of a Kohen is burned whole on the Mizbe'ach (without a Kemitzah being taken).
Mishnah 2
3)
(a)What does the Tana say about a Minchas Kohanim, Kohen Mashi'ach and Nesachim? What do they have in common?
(b)It is obvious that the Mizbe'ach receives more than the Kohanim. What is the Mishnah therefore coming to include when it says it specifically?
(c)What does one then do with the wine that is brought on its own?
(d)What would we otherwise have thought?
3)
(a)The Tana rules that a Minchas Kohanim, Kohen Mashi'ach and Nesachim - are brought whole on the Mizbe'ach, and that the Kohanim receive nothing from them.
(b)It is obvious that the Mizbe'ach receives more than the Kohanimn, and, the Mishnah says it specifically - to include wine that someone donates to place on the Mizbe'ach without a accompanying Korban ...
(c)... which one pours into the bowl next to the Keren from where it goes down
(d)We would otherwise have thought that - the Kohen sprinkles it on the fire of the Ma'arachah (in which case the Mizbe'ach would not benefit from it [See Tosfos Yom Tov]).
4)
(a)Regarding which two Menachos do the Kohanim receive, but the Mizbe'ach does not?
(b)This too is obvious. Why then, does the Tana see fit to mention it? What is he coming to include?
(c)What would we otherwise have thought?
4)
(a)The Kohanim receive - the Omer and the Sh'tei ha'Lechem (See Tosfos Yom Tov), but the Mizbe'ach does not.
(b)This too is obvious, and the reason that the Tana mentions it is - to include where the two lambs that accompany the Sh'tei ha'Lechem (which normally permits them to be eaten) were not brought ...
(c)... where we would otherwise have thought - that they need to be burned.
Mishnah 3
5)
(a)Besides the initial pouring the oil into the K'li, how many Matanos does the Mishnah require by all Menachos that are made in a K'li?
(b)Which Minchah does this come to preclude?
(c)Which Matanah does the Minchas Ma'afeh Tanur not require?
5)
(a)Besides the initial pouring the oil into the K'li, the Mishnah requires - two Matanos (Yetzikah [an additional pouring of oil] and Belilah) by all Menachos that are made in a K'li ...
(b)... to preclude - a Minchas Ma'afeh Tanur ...
(c)... which does not require - Yetzikah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
6)
(a)What do we learn from the Pasuk in Vayikra (in connection with the Minchas ...
1. ... Marcheshes) "So'les ba'Shemen Te'aseh"?
2. ... Machavas), Yetzikah and Belilah?
(b)How do we then know that Matnas Shemen applies to the Minchas Machavas and Yetzikah and Belilah to the Minchas Marcheshes?
(c)What is now the procedure on the two Menachos. What does the Kohen do after pouring the oil into the K'li and placing the flour, before baking?
(d)What does he still do after it has been baked, before taking the Kemitzah?
(e)And what happens to the Shirayim after the Kemitzah has been taken?
6)
(a)We learn from the Pasuk in Vayikra (in connection with the Minchas ...
1. ... Marcheshes) "So'les ba'Shemen Te'aseh" that - the Minchas Marcheshes requires Matnas Shemen.
2. ... Machavas), 'Yetzikah' and 'Belilah' that - the Minchas Machavas requires Yetzikah and Belilah.
(b)And we know that Matnas Shemen applies to the Minchas Machavas and Yetzikah and Belilah to the Minchas Marcheshes - since we learn one from the other.
(c)The procedure on the two Menachos is that, after pouring the oil into the K'li and placing the flour, before baking - the Kohen first adds more oil (Yetzikah [See Tosfos Yom Tov DH 'Yetzikah']) and mixes them well (Belilah), then adds water and kneads them.
(d)After it has been baked, before taking the Kemitzah - he still needs to fold and break them into four pieces.
(e)After the Kemitzah has been taken - the Shirayim are eaten by the Kohanim.
7)
(a)Rebbi and the Chachamim argue over the Belilah of the Minchas Ma'afeh Tanur. What does Rebbi say, based on the words "Chalos ... Belulos ba'Shemen" (in the Pasuk there "So'les Chalos Matzos Belulos ba'Shemen")?
(b)And what do the Chachamim say, based on the Pasuk there "So'les ... Belulos ba'Shemen"?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
7)
(a)Rebbi and the Chachamim argue over the Belilah of the Minchas Ma'afeh Tanur. Based on the words "Chalos ... Belulos ba'Shemen" (in the Pasuk there "So'les Chalos Matzos Belulos ba'Shemen"), Rebbi rules that - one mixes the Chalos of the Ma'afeh Tanur (See Tosfos Yom Tov) with oil after they have been baked.
(b)Whereas the Chachamim, based on the Pasuk there "So'les ... Belulos ba'Shemen" - maintains that - they are mixed prior to the kneading (whilst they are still flour).
(c)The Halachah is - like the Chachamim.
8)
(a)What do we learn from the fact that the Pasuk there says ...
1. ... "Chalos Belulos"?
2. ... "Rekikim Meshuchim"?
(b)How (in what shape) is the Meshichah on the wafers performed?
(c)What happens to the leftover oil?
8)
(a)From the fact that the Pasuk there says ...
1. ... "Chalos Belulos", we learn that - the Chalos of a Ma'afeh Tanur require Belilah and not Meshichah, and from ...
2. ... "Rekikim Meshuchim" that - the wafers require Meshichah and not Belilah,
(b)The Meshichah on the wafers is performed - in the shape of the Greek letter 'Chi' (which is shaped like the letter 'U' (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(c)The leftover oil - is eaten by the Kohanim.
Mishnah 4
9)
(a)What do all Menachos that are made in a K'li require after baking?
(b)What do we learn from the word "Minchah" (in the Pasuk Pasos osah Pitim ... Minchah hi")?
(c)Then what does the Tana mean to preclude when he adds 'that are made in a K'li'?
9)
(a)All Menachos that are made in a K'li require - Pesisah after baking.
(b)We learn from the word "Minchah" (in the Pasuk Pasos osah Pitim ... Minchah hi") - that this extends to a Minchas Ma'afeh Tanur ...
(c)When the Tana then adds 'that are made in a K'li', he means to preclude - the Sh'tei ha'Lechem and the Lechem ha'Panim (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
10)
(a)What has the Kohen already done to the Kometz when he performs the Pesisah?
(b)How is the Pesisah performed?
(c)What distinction does the Tana Kama draw between the Minchah of ...
1. ... a Yisrael and that of a Kohen?
2. ... a Kohen and that of the Kohen Gadol?
(d)What is the source for the latter ruling?
10)
(a)When the Kohen performs the Pesisah - he has already broken the Kometz into pieces measuring a k'Zayis.
(b)The Pesisah is performed - by folding each piece into two and then into four, and breaking it up at the folds.
(c)The Tana Kama rules that the Minchah of ...
1. ... a Kohen - is folded into four but not broken (See Tosfos Yom Tov), whereas ...
2. ... that of the Kohen Gadol - is only folded into two ...
(d)... since the Torah only writes "Minchas Pitim", but not 'Pasos'
11)
(a)What does Rebbi Shimon say?
(b)Why is that?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
11)
(a)According to Rebbi Shimon - the Minchah of a Kohen and of a Kohen Gadol do not require Pesisah at all ...
(b)... because it is not subject to Kemitzah, and, in his opinion, whatever is not subject to Kemitzah does not require Pesisah.
(c)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
Mishnah 5
12)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses the number of She'ifos and of Be'itos that the wheat of all the Menachos require before grinding. What is ...
1. ... 'She'ifah'?
2. ... 'Be'itah'?
(b)If each kernel receives three hundred Shei'fos, how many Be'itos does it receive?
(c)How are they administered?
(d)According to the Tana Kama, they are performed with the wheat kernels. What does Rebbi Yossi say?
(e)Like whom is the Halachah?
12)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses the number of She'ifos and of Be'itos that the wheat of all the Menachos require before grinding. A ...
1. ... 'She'ifah' is - rubbing the wheat kernels with one's hands against a vessel to facilitate the removal of the outer husk.
2. ... 'Be'itah' is - the subsequent beating it with one's fist or with one's open palm.
(b)Each kernel receives three hundred Shei'fos - and five hundred Be'itos.
(c)They are administered - first one She'ifah and two Be'itos and then two She'ifos and three Be'itos, which they repeated until they reach the required amount.
(d)According to the Tana Kama, they are performed with the wheat kernels. Rebbi Yossi maintains that - it must be performed after they have been kneaded (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(e)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
13)
(a)Rebbi Yehudah maintains that, with only two exceptions, all Menachos comprise ten Chalos (See Tosfos Yom Tov). What about the Minchas So'les, whose Kemitzah is performed before it is baked?
(b)One of the exceptions is the Lechem ha'Panim. What is the other one?
(c)How many Chalos does the latter comprise?
13)
(a)Rebbi Yehudah maintains that all Menachos, with only two exceptions, comprise ten Chalos (See Tosfos Yom Tov) - including the Minchas So'les (despite the fact that the Kemitzah is performed before it is baked [See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(b)One of the exceptions is the Lechem ha'Panim, the other is - the Chavitei Kohen Gadol ...
(c)... which, like the Lechem ha'Panim, comprises - twelve Chalos.
14)
(a)How do we know that the Lechem ha'Panim comprises twelve Chalos?
(b)And what do we learn from the Gezeirah Shavah "Chok Olam" "Chok Olam"?
(c)How (time-wise) are the twelve Chalos of the Chavitei Kohen Gadol brought?
14)
(a)We know that the Lechem ha'Panim comprises twelve Chalos - because the Torah says so specifically ...
(b)... and from the Gezeirah Shavah "Chok Olam" "Chok Olam", we learn that - the Chavitei Kohen Gadol does, too.
(c)The twelve Chalos of the Chavitei Kohen Gadol are brought - half in the morning and half in the afternoon.
15)
(a)According to Rebbi Meir, all Menachos comprise twelve Chalos except for two. One of them is the Chalos of the Korban Todah. What is the other?
(b)How many Chalos do they comprise?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
15)
(a)According to Rebbi Meir, all Menachos comprised twelve Chalos except for two. One of them is the Chalos of the Korban Todah, the other - the Chalos of a Nazir (See Tosfos Yom Tov) ...
(b)... each of which comprise - ten Chalos.
(c)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Yehudah.
Mishnah 6
16)
(a)How many Sa'in are there in an Eifah?
(b)What does the Tana mean when he says that the Omer is brought 'one Isaron from three Sa'in'?
(c)How many times do they need to sift it to bring it down from three Sa'in to a tenth of a Sa'ah?
(d)Why does one need as much as three Sa'in to produce one Isaron?
16)
(a)There are - three Sa'in in an Eifah.
(b)When the Tana says that the Omer is brought 'one Isaron from three Sa'in', he means that - initially, they cut three Sa'in (one Eifah) in order to produce from it one Isaron (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(c)To bring it down from three Sa'in to a tenth of a Sa'ah, they need to sift it - thirteen times (using thirteen sieves [each subsequent sieve more fine than the previous one. See Tosfos Yom Tov]).
(d)One needs as much as three Sa'in to produce one Isaron - since a. it is still fresh (making it difficult to separate the kernels from the husks) and b. it comprises barley, which produces a lot of bran and little flour.
17)
(a)The Sh'tei ha'Lechem on the other hand, are brought 'two Isronos from three Sa'ah'. Why the big difference?
(b)Whereas the Lechem ha'Panim came twenty-four Isronos from twenty-four Sa'in. Why the big difference between it and the Sh'tei ha'Lechem?
(c)How many Esronim does the Torah prescribe for each Chalah of the Lechem ha'Panim?
17)
(a)The Sh'tei ha'Lechem on the other hand, are brought 'two Isronos from three Sa'ah' - because it comprises wheat (despite the fact that it too, is brought from fresh crops).
(b)Whereas the Lechem ha'Panim came 'twenty-four Isronos from twenty-four Sa'in' (one Isaron per Sa'ah) - because (even though it too, comprised wheat) - it comprises old crops.
(c)For each Chalah of the Lechem ha'Panim, the Torah prescribes - two Esronim.
Mishnah 7
18)
(a)If, as we just learned, the Tana Kama requires the Omer to be sifted with thirteen sieves, how many sieves does he require to sift ...
1. ... the Sh'tei ha'Lechem?
2. ... the Lechem ha'Panim?
(b)What if, for example, he obtained the Omer from four Sa'in?
(c)What does Rebbi Shimon say?
(d)How does he learn this from the Pasuk in Emor "ve'Lakachta So'les ve'Afisa osah"?
(e)Like whom is the Halachah?
18)
(a)As we just learned, the Tana Kama requires the Omer to be sifted with thirteen sieves. To sift ...
1. ... the Sh'tei ha'Lechem, he requires - twelve sieves, and ...
2. ... the Lechem ha'Panim - eleven.
(b)If, for example, he obtained the Omer from four Sa'in - the Omer was Kasher.
(c)According to Rebbi Shimon - the number of sieves is irrelevant ...
(d)... and he learns this from the Pasuk in Emor, which writes "ve'Lakachta So'les ve'Afisa osah" - indicating that it must be well-sifted (See Tosfos Yom Tov), but says nothing about the number of times.
(e)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
