(a)The Torah refers to the Sanhedrin as "the eyes of the congregation," RASHI explains, because they are the ones who enlighten the people and show them what to do.
(b)Another reason may be that it is the Chachamim, with their holy vision, who see and understand what others cannot.

40)[line 2]האשה שכובשת ירק בקדירהHA'ISHAH SHE'KOVESHES YEREK BI'KEDEIRAH (YADOS L'TUM'AH)
(a)Any inedible part of a food that is used to hold the food (e.g. the stem of a fruit or a bone with meat on its end) is considered an extension ("Yad" or "handle") of the food. The Yad may bring Tum'ah to the food if it was touched by something Tamei. If the food was Tamei and the Yad touched food that was not Tamei, the Yad brings Tum'ah to the other food.
(b)A Yad does not combine with the food to make up the requisite Shi'ur of a Beitzah in order to receive Tum'ah (Uktzin 1:1).
(c)The woman mentioned here was pressing vegetables to eliminate their liquids so that they could be dried. As a result, the Yados, stems, of the vegetables broke off to the extent that one could not use them to pick up the food anymore. They therefore no longer bring Tum'ah to the food.
