*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach 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] Rashi 7a DH Lo Nitzrechah ד"ה לא נצרכה:
The words "she'Nichnas Bo Bayis l'Tocho" שנכנס בו בית לתוכו
should be "she'Kanus Bayis l'Tocho שכנוס בית לתוכו
(This is the Girsa of Rashi on the Rif.)
[2] Rashi 7a DH Af Al Gav d'Lo Gavo'ah Sheloshah ד"ה אף על גב דלא גבוה שלשה:
"d'Lo Darsi Bah Rabim Aleha" דלא דרסי בה רבים עליה
The word "Bah" is unnecessary and should be erased.
[3] Rashi 7b DH v'Hishlimo ד"ה והשלימו:
The words "Asarah Gavo'ah Ad ha'Kiruy" י' גבוה עד הקירוי
should be "Asarah Govah Ad ha'Kiruy" י' גובה עד הקירוי
[4] Rashi 7b DH Chorei Reshus ha'Rabim ד"ה חורי רשות הרבים:
The word "sheha'Kesalim" שהכתלים
should be "sheba'Kesalim" שבכתלים
[5] Tosfos 7b DH v'Halchah v'Nachah ד"ה והלכה ונחה:
The words "she'Einah Gavo'ah me'Asarah" שאינה גבוה מי'
should be "she'Einah Gavo'ah Asarah" שאינה גבוה י'

20)[line 37]חוקקין להשליםCHOKEKIN L'HASHLIM
(a)Chokekin l'Hashlim is a Halachic device in which we may view a small space to be the correct size, when needed. Rebbi Meir rules that Chokekin l'Hashlim may be used if there is sufficient volume in the surrounding walls to provide the extra size. The Gemara (Yoma 11b) records the argument between Rebbi Meir and Rabanan as to whether we say Chokekin l'Hashlim with regard to an archway whose opening is too small to require a Mezuzah. They argue in the case where the walls of the archway are thick enough such that had they been excavated, there would be a proper-size doorway.
(b)The Rishonim disagree as to which case the Gemara is discussing. The words "b'Chor Kol she'Hu" seem to suggest that the hole may be infinitesimally small, and this appears to be Rashi's opinion. Tosfos DH v'Halchah, citing Ri, claims that it is small on the side of Reshus ha'Rabim, but it extends through the wall and is four Tefachim wide on the side of Reshus ha'Yachid. Rebbi Meir then says that the law of Chokekin l'Hashlim gives the hole the status of a hole that is four by four Tefachim. (See Tosfos ibid. and Tosfos Yoma 11b DH ha'Kol.)
