Mishnah 1
1)
(a)In a case where someone bends down to drink, on what grounds does the Mishnah declares be'Chi Yutan the water that remains in his mouth and on his moustache after he has finished drinking?
(b)What about the water on his nose, on his head or on his beard?
1)
(a)In a case where someone bends down to drink, the Mishnah declares be'Chi Yutan the water that remains in his mouth and on his moustache after he has finished drinking - because, since all water that enters his mouth, inevitably touches his moustache first, he was Machshiv all the water on his moustache ...
(b)... but not the water on his nose, on his head or on his beard (which he was not Machshiv).
2)
(a)Why is the water on the outside of the barrel that one ...
1. ... draws from the well, be'Chi Yutan?
2. ... fills under a tap not be'Chi Yutan?
(b)In the former case, what is the status of the water that remains on the metal ring that surrounds the top of the barrel or on the section of rope that is needed as a handle?
(c)What Shi'ur does R. Shimon ben Elazar ascribe to the rope that is be'Chi Yutan?
2)
(a)The water on the outside of the barrel that one ...
1. ... draws from the well, is be'Chi Yutan - since it is impossible for water to enter the barrel before some water has touched the outside (which he is therefore Machshiv), which is not the case with water that one ...
2. ... fills under a tap, and which is therefore not be'Chi Yutan.
(b)In the former case, the water that remains on the metal ring that surrounds the top of the barrel or on the section of rope that is needed as a handle - is be'Chi Yutan.
(c)R. Shimon ben Elazar gives the Shi'ur of rope that serves as a handle as - a Tefach.
Mishnah 2
3)
(a)Why is it necessary for the Mishnah to teach us that rain that falls on a person who is an Av ha'Tum'ah does not become be'Chi Yutan?
(b)On what condition *will* it become be'Chi Yutan?
(c)What is the status of the water that flows from a pipe on to a person who is standing underneath it in order to become cool or to clean himself, assuming he is ...
1. ... Tahor?
2. ... Tamei?
(d)... and what is the status of any fruit on which it subsequently falls?
3)
(a)The Mishnah teaches us that rain that falls on a person who is an Av ha'Tum'ah does not become be'Chi Yutan - despite the fact that, as we learned in the first Perek, Tamei liquid is subject to be'Chi Yutan, irrespective of whether one is pleased with it or not.
(b)It *will* become be'Chi Yutan however - once the person shakes himself (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
(c)The water that flows from a pipe on to a person who is standing underneath it in order to become cool or to clean himself, assuming he is ...
1. ... Tahor - is be'Chi Yutan.
2. ... Tamei - is both be'Chi Yutan and Tamei ...
(d)... in which case it will render any fruit on which it subsequently falls, both be'Chi Yutan and Tamei simultaneously.
Mishnah 3
4)
(a)On what condition is a dish that someone places upside-down on a wall ...
1. ... be'Chi Yutan?
2. ... not be'Chi Yutan?
4)
(a)A dish that someone places upside-down on a wall...
1. ... is be'Chi Yutan - provided he wants the dish to be washed (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
2. ... is not be'Chi Yutan - if his intention is to protect the wall from getting wet (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
Mishnah 4
5)
(a)If water drips into a barrel containing fruit, why do Beis Shamai rule that the owner must break the barrel?
(b)Why is that?
(c)What do Beis Hillel say?
(d)What do Beis Shamai concede to Beis Hillel? What option do they give the owner to eat the fruit without it becoming Muchshar Lekabeil Tum'ah?
5)
(a)If water drips into a barrel containing fruit, Beis Shamai rules that the owner must break the barrel - if he does not want the fruit to become be'Chi Yutan...
(b)... because once he pours out the water, he is deliberately pouring it from one fruit to the other, causing it to become be'Chi Yutan.
(c)Beis Hillel - permit him to pour out the water.
(d)Beis Shamai concede to Beis Hillel that - he has the option of removing the fruit from the barrel by hand.
Mishnah 5
6)
(a)If water drips into a barrel against the owner's wishes, what does the Mishnah rule with regard to ...
1. ... the water that splashes outside the barrel and the water that overflows from it?
2. ... the water that fills the barrel?
(b)The moment one picks up the barrel to pour out the water in a different spot, Beis Shamai declare the water be'Chi Yutan. Why is that (see Tiferes Yisrael)?
(c)What do Beis Hillel say?
6)
(a)If water drips into a barrel against the owner's wishes, the Mishnah rules that both ...
1. ... the water that splashes outside the barrel and the water that overflows from it and ...
2. ... the water that fills the barrel - are not be'Chi Yutan.
(b)The moment one picks up the barrel to pour out the water in a different spot, Beis Shamai declare the water be'Chi Yutan - because the act of moving it to another spot is an act of Chashivus (Tiferes Yisrael).
(c)Beis Hillel disagree - because he moved it in order to get rid of it (as we learned in Mishnah).
7)
(a)What do Beis Shamai and Beis Hillel respectively, say with regard to the water that splashes outside the barrel and the water that overflows from it, but where one initially places the barrel in that spot for the water to drip into it?
(b)And what do Beis Hillel say in the latter case, in the event that the owner changes his mind, takes the barrel and pours out the water?
7)
(a)Regarding the water that splashes outside the barrel and the water that overflows from it, but where one initially placed the barrel in that spot for the water to drip into it - Beis Shamai declare it be'Chi Yutan, Beis Hillel don't.
(b)In the latter case however, but where the owner changes his mind, takes the barrel and pours out the water - Beis Hillel concede that it is be'Chi Yutan (since he initially wanted the water to fall into it [see Tos. Yom-Tov]).
8)
(a)If someone is standing in a pool in a cave washing clothes, what distinction does the Tana Kama draw between the water on his hands and the water on his feet?
(b)Why is that?
(c)R. Eliezer is not so lenient. How does he qualify the latter ruling?
(d)To what can this be compared?
8)
(a)If someone is standing in a pool in a cave washing clothes - the Tana Kama declares be'Chi Yutan the water on his hands but not the water on his feet ...
(b)... because he wants his hands to get wet, but not his feet.
(c)R. Eliezer is not so lenient. He qualifies the latter ruling - by confining it to where he could have avoided them becoming wet (See Tiferes Yisrael), but not if he had no choice ...
(d)... like the water on the outside of the barrel with which the owner drew water (see Mishnah 1 [see also Tos. Yom-Tov]).
Mishnah 6
9)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a box of Turmus-beans (lupines) that is lying in a Mikvah (see Tos. Yov-Tov). Based on the Pasuk in Shemini "be'Chol K'li Yitma", why does the Tana declare neither be'Chi Yutan nor Tamei, the beans that a Tamei person removes from there with his hands?
(b)In the event that he removes the entire box, which beans does the Tana declare Tamei and which, Tahor? Why is that?
(c)Seeing as raw Turmus beans are inedible, on what grounds are they subject to Tum'ah?
(d)If a Nidah is washing a radish in a pool in a cave, at which stage does it become Tamei?
9)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a box of Turmus-beans (lupines) that is lying in a Mikvah (see Tos. Yov-Tov). Based on the Pasuk in Shemini "be'Chol K'li Yitma", the Tana declares neither be'Chi Yutan nor Tamei, the beans that a Tamei person removes from there with his hands - because fruit can only become be'Chi Yutan through contact with liquid that (like in a K'li) is detached, but not when it is Mechubar le'Karka (joined to the ground [see Tos. Yom-Tov & Tiferes Yisrael]).
(b)In the event that he removes the entire box, the Tana declares the box a Rishon le'Tum'ah (see Tos. Yom-Tov), and the beans that are touching it a Sheini; whereas the remainder of beans do not become Tamei at all.
(c)In spite of the fact that raw Turmus beans are inedible to humans, they are nevertheless subject to Tum'ah - because goats eat them.
(d)If a Nidah is washing a radish in a pool in a cave, it becomes Tamei - as soon as she removes some of it from the water (See Mishnah Achronah).
Mishnah 7
10)
(a)If Chulin fruit falls into a pool of water, and a Tamei person puts his hands in the water to retrieve them, what does the Mishnah say about ...
1. ... his hands?
2. ... the fruit?
(b)How will the Din differ in the latter case, if his intention is to wash his hands?
(c)And how will the Din differ in the former case, if the fruit is ...
1. ... Terumah?
2. ... Ma'aser Sheini?
10)
(a)If Chulin fruit falls into a pool of water, and a Tamei person puts his hands in the water to retrieve them, the Mishnah declares ...
1. ... his hands - Tahor.
2. ... the fruit - not be'Chi Yutan.
(b)The Din will differ in the latter case, if his intention is to wash his hands (when taking the fruit out of the water) - in that the fruit will become be'Chi Yutan, once he removes it from the water (see Tos. Yom-Tov [because he was Machshiv the falling of the fruit into the water, to wash his hands when he removed them from the water]).
(c)In the former case, if the fruit is ...
1. ... Terumah - his hands will remain Tamei (since Tevilah with regard to Terumah requires Kavanah, and the same applies to ...
2. ... Ma'aser Sheini (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
Mishnah 8
11)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about an earthenware dish that is lying in a Mikvah (see Tiferes Yisrael), into which a person who is an Av ha'Tum'ah places his hands?
(b)Why does the Mikvah not prevent the dish from becoming Tamei?
(c)If, instead of a Tamei person's hands, it is Maga Tum'os that he places inside the dish, the dish remains Tahor. What is Maga Tum'os?
(d)On what principle is this latter ruling based?
11)
(a)The Mishnah rules that an earthenware dish that is lying in a Mikvah (see Tiferes Yisrael), into which a person who is an Av ha'Tum'ah places his hands - is Tamei.
(b)The Mikvah does not prevent the dish from becoming Tamei - because earthenware vessels are not subject to Tevilah (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
(c)If, instead of a Tamei person's hands, it is Maga Tum'os - something that is a Rishon le'Tum'ah, that he places inside the dish, the dish remains Tahor.
(d)This latter ruling is based on the principle that - K'lei Cheres can only receive Tum'ah from an Av ha'Tum'ah, but not a V'lad.
12)
(a)Why does the water in the dish (which is not subject to the above principle) not render the dish Tamei?
(b)What if the dish contains liquids other than water (wine or milk)?
(c)Why did Chazal decree Tum'ah on liquids?
12)
(a)The water in the dish (which is not subject to the above principle) does not render the dish Tamei - because water in a vessel becomes Tahor in a Mikvah through Hashakah (touching).
(b)If the dish contains liquids other than water (wine or milk) - it becomes Tamei, because other liquids are not subject to Hashakah.
(c)Chazal decreed Tum'ah on liquids - because of the liquids of a Zav and Zavah (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
Mishnah 9
13)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses water in a Kilon (in a field). What is a Kilon?
(b)On what basis does the Tana declare the water in the Kilon Tamei up to three days?
(c)What does Rebbi Akiva say?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
13)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses water in a Kilon - an irrigation canal that carries water that has collected in one field to another field.
(b)The Tana declares the water in the Kilon Tamei up to three days - on the assumption that it does not dry up within that period of time.
(c)According to Rebbi Akiva - if the water has dried up, then it is Tahor immediately; whereas if it has not, then it will remain Tamei even up to thirty days.
(d)The Halachah is - like both opinions, since R. Akiva, who is speaking where one knows for sure one way or the other, concedes that S'tam, the Halachah is like the Tana Kama (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
Mishnah 10
14)
(a)On what condition does the Tana declare Tahor, Tamei liquid (see Tos. Yom-Tov & Mishnah Achronah) on logs of wood, after rain has fallen on them?
(b)On what condition will the water remain ...
1. ... Tamei?
2. ... Tahor even in this latter case?
(c)In the earlier case, why does the Mishnah require the logs to be burnt with Tahor hands? What will be the problem if they are Tamei?
14)
(a)The Tana declares Tahor, Tamei liquid (see Tos. Yom-Tov & Mishnah Achronah) on logs of wood, after rain has fallen on them - on condition the rain-water is the majority.
(b)The water will remain ...
1. ... Tamei (see Tos. Yom-Tov) however - if, in the first place, the owner took the wood out for the rain to fall on it.
2. ... Tahor even in this latter case - if when the rain fell, the Tamei water was already absorbed in the wood.
(c)In the earlier case, the Mishnah requires the logs to be burnt with Tahor hands - because Tamei hands will be Metamei the water which will in turn, render the logs Tamei.
15)
(a)What does R. Shimon say, assuming that the logs are still moist and upon heating them, some of the absorbed water emerges? What is the status of the water that emerges (see Tos. Yom-Tov)?
(b)On what condition will the water on the logs remain Tahor?
(c)Why is that?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
15)
(a)Assuming that the logs are still moist and upon heating them, some of the absorbed water emerges, R. Shimon rules that the water on the logs is Tahor, since the water that emerges has the status of fruit-juice (which is not subject to Tum'ah [see Tos. Yom-Tov]).
(b)The water on the logs will remain Tahor - as long as the water that emerges is the majority.
(c)The reason for this is - because the water on the fruit is Bateil to the water that emerges (see Tos. Yom-Tov).
(d)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
