Nidah Chart #11
Chart for Nidah Daf 63b
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF "VESES," HOW THEY ARE ESTABLISHED, AND THE SUB-CATEGORIES OF EACH TYPE
| (A) TYPE OF VESES |
(B) EXAMPLE |
|
| 1 | Veses ha'Guf | Sneezing, body-aches (Mishnah 63a) |
| 2 | Veses b'Ones, when the Ones does not directly cause the onset of the Veses (see TOSFOS DH Ochla) | Eating garlic, onions or peppercorns (Gemara 63b) |
| 3 | Veses b'Ones, when the Ones directly causes the onset of the Veses (ibid.) | Jumping, physical activities (1) (Gemara 11a) |
| 4 | Veses Haflagah (Intervals) | Seeing blood on 1st of Nisan, 20th of Nisan, 9th of Iyar and 28th of Iyar. Each of the three intervals is 20 days. (Note that blood must be seen 4 times to create this Veses.) (2) |
| 5 | Veses ha'Chodesh (Calendar date) | Seeing blood on 1st of Nisan, 1st of Iyar and 1st of Sivan. (Note that the intervals are not similar.) |
| 6 | Veses of the Days of the Week | Seeing blood on Sunday, three weeks later on Sunday and three weeks later on Sunday. The day of the week fixes the Veses and therefore three times suffice to create a Veses. (RAMBAN 64a citing TOSFOS) |
| EACH OF THE ABOVE VESTOS CAN BE EXPRESSED IN A NUMBER OF WAYS: | ||
| SUB-VESES | EXPLANATION | |
| a | l'Dilugin (Incremental) | Where the Haflagah, calendar date or day of the week increases incrementally, e.g. Haflagos of 11, 12 and 13 days |
| b | l'Seirugin (Alternating) | Where the Veses occurs every other time, e.g. every second Rosh Chodesh |
| c | l'Sha'ah Kevu'ah | Where the Veses occurs at a certain time of day, e.g. eating garlic at sunrise (BEIS YOSEF, beginning of YD 189, citing the RA'AVAD in BA'ALEI HA'NEFESH) |
| d | Tziruf (combination) | A Veses that is established by a combination of two factors (such as described in footnote #1) |

FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) The Halachic ruling is that such a Veses must be coupled with another factor, such as the day of the week or month on which the Veses occurred, in order to establish a Veses (Shulchan Aruch YD 189:17).
(2) A Veses Haflagah occurs after a certain interval of days. However, according to the understanding of at least one Acharon (Chidushei Hafla'ah, beginning of YD 189), such a Veses can be established based on an interval of a set number of hours as well (such as a woman who sees blood every 600 hours).
