Mishnah 1
1)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about a Kohen who is Pasul with regard to Shechting Kodshim?
(b)What do we learn from the Pasuk in Vayikra "ve'Shachat es ben ha'Bakar ve'Hikrivu b'nei Aharon ha'Kohanim"?
(c)Then why does the Tana refer to where they Shechted Bedi'eved
1)
(a)The Mishnah rules that a Kohen who is Pasul Shechts Kodshim - the Shechitah is Kasher.
(b)We learn from the Pasuk in Vayikra "ve'Shachat es ben ha'Bakar ve'Hikrivu B'nei Aharon ha'Kohanim" that - he is even permitted to Shcht Lechatchilah (since the Mitzvah of Kehunah begins only after the Shechitah) ...
(c)... and the Tana refers to where they Shechted Bedi'eved - on account of someone who is Tamei, who may not Shecht Lechatchilah, (as we will see shortly).
2)
(a)Does the current ruling extend to ...
1. ... women and Avadim?
2. ... Shechting Kodshei Kodshim?
(b)On what condition does the Mishnah permit a Tamei to Shecht Kodshim?
(c)Where are all Kodshim Shechted?
(d)Seeing as a Tamei is forbidden to enter the Azarah, how can he then Shecht them?
2)
(a)The current ruling extends to ...
1. ... women and Avadim and to ...
2. ... Shechting Kodshei Kodshim.
(b)The Mishnah permits a Tamei to Shecht Kodshim - provided he takes care not to touch the flesh of the animal
(c)All Kodshim are Shechted - in the Azarah.
(d)Despite the fact that a Tamei is forbidden to enter the Azarah, he can Shecht them - by standing outside the Azarah, using a long knife (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
3)
(a)What is the problem with a Tamei Meis Shechting Kodshim (even if he is standing outside the Azarah)?
(b)Besides establishing the 'Teme'im' in the Mishnah by someone who is Tamei Sheretz (who is not Metamei the knife), how can we establish it even by a Tamei Meis?
(c)What has the current ruling got to do with P'sul Machshavah?
3)
(a)The problem with a Tamei Meis Shechting Kodshim (even if he is standing outside the Azarah) is that - he is Metamei the knife, which is then Metamei the Basar.
(b)Besides establishing the 'Teme'im' in the Mishnah by someone who is Tamei Sheretz (who is not Metamei the knife), we can establish it even by a Tamei Meis - if he uses a sharp piece of cane (which is not a K'li and therefore not subject to Tum'ah).
(c)Seeing as all of these are eligible to Shecht - they invalidate the Korban with a Machshavah of Chutz li'Zemano or Chutz Li'Mekomo.
4)
(a)What if any of the above-mentioned Pesulim received the Dam ha'Nefesh having in mind to eat or to burn the Korban Chutz li'Zemano or Chutz li'Mekomo?
(b)Why do they not invalidate the Korban?
(c)Based on the Pasuk in Tzav "ha'Makriv oso Lo Yechashev", besides a person who is fit to perform the Avodah, which two requirements are necessary for a Machshavah to invalidate a Korban?
4)
(a)If any of the above-mentioned Pesulim received the Dam ha'Nefesh having in mind to eat or to burn the Korban Chutz li'Zemano or Chutz li'Mekomo - then provided some Dam ha'Nefesh remains, a Kasher Kohen should receive it and the Korban is Kasher.
(b)They do not invalidate the Korban - since they are not eligible to perform the Kabalas ha'Dam.
(c)Based on the Pasuk in Tzav "ha'Makriv oso Lo Yechashev", besides a person who is fit to perform the Avodah, for a Machshavah to invalidate a Korban - it must be fit to be brought as that Korban and it must take place in a location that is fit to be brought (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
Mishnah 2
5)
(a)What should one do if a Kohen Kasher receives the blood ...
1. ... and hands it to a Pasul?
2. ... with his right hand and transfers it to his left hand?
3. ... in a K'li Kodesh and pours it into a K'li Chol?
(b)What if the blood spills from the K'li on to the floor of the Azarah and he gathers it back?
(c)And what does the Mishnah finally say in a case where the Pasul (See Tosfos Yom Tov) places the blood ...
1. ... on the ramp or on a section of the Mizbe'ach where there is no Y'sod?
2. ... of a Korban whose blood ought to be placed on the lower half of the Mizbe'ach, on the upper half, or vice-versa?
3. ... of a Korban whose blood ought to be placed inside the Heichal, outside (on the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah), or vice-versa?
(d)The Tana has repeated the Din of rectifying what one did wrong by a Kohen who hands the blood to a Pasul, transfers it to his left hand, pours it into a K'li Chol and places it in the wrong location. Why would we not have known ...
1. ... the second case (transfers it to his left hand) from the first one (hands the blood to a Pasul)?
2. ... the third case (pours it into a K'li Chol) from the second one?
3. ... the fourth cases (places it in the wrong location) from the third one?
5)
(a)If a Kohen Kasher receives the blood ...
1. ... and hands it to a Pasul - the latter must hand it back (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
2. ... with his right hand and transfers it to his left hand - he should return it to his right hand.
3. ... in a K'li Kodesh and pours it into a K'li Chol - he should pour it back into the K'li Kodesh.
(b)If the blood spills from the K'li on to the floor of the Azarah and he gathers it back into the K'li - it is Kasher (See Tiferes Yisrael).
(c)The Mishnah finally rules that, in a case where the Pasul (See Tosfos Yom Tov) places the blood ...
1. ... on the ramp or on a section of the Mizbe'ach where there is no Y'sod, or the blood ...
2. ... of a Korban which ought to be placed on the lower half of the Mizbe'ach, on the upper half, or vice-versa, or the blood ...
3. ... of a Korban which ought to be placed inside the Heichal, outside (on the Mizbe'ach ha'Olah), or vice-versa - if there is still Dam ha'Nefesh left in the neck of the animal, 'Yachzor Kasher vi'Yekabel'.
(d)The Tana has repeated the Din of rectifying what one did wrong by a Kohen who 1. hands the blood to a Pasul, 2. transfers it to his left hand, 3. pours it into a K'li Chol and 4. places it in the wrong location. We would not have known ...
1. ... the second case (where he transferred it to his left hand) from the first one (handing the blood to a Pasul [Tamei. See Tosfos Yom Tov]) - which is sometimes Kasher Lechatchilah by Avodas Tzibur (when the Tzibur is Tamei).
2. ... the third case (where he poured it into a K'li Chol) from the second one - which is Kasher once a year when, on Yom Kipur, the Kohen Gadol carries the pan into the Kodesh Kodshim in his right hand and the spoon in his left.
3. ... the fourth cases (where he places it in the wrong location) from the third one - which is fit to be sanctified.
Mishnah 3
6)
(a)The Tana Kama discusses someone who Shechts a Korban having in mind to eat part of it that is not normally eaten or to burn part of it that is not normally burned Chutz li'Zemano or Chutz li'Mekomo. What does he rule?
(b)What does Rebbi Eliezer say?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
6)

(a)What if he Shechts the Korban having in mind to eat ...
1. ... or to burn less than a k'Zayis of something that is normally eaten or burned?
2. ... half a k'Zayis and to burn half a k'Zayis?
(b)What is the reason for the latter ruling?
7)
(a)If he Shechts the Korban having in mind to eat ...
1. ... or to burn less than a k'Zayis of something that is normally eaten or burned - the Korban is Kasher, as it is if h had in mind to eat ...
2. ... half a k'Zayis and to burn half a k'Zayis ...
(b)... because eating and burning do not combine (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
Mishnah 4
8)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about a list of items beginning with someone who Shechts a Korban with the intention of eating a k'Zayis of the skin or of the gravy Chutz li'Zemano or Chutz li'Mekomo?
(b)The Tana continues the list with the Kifah and the Alal. 'Kifah' is the thin layer of spices at the bottom of the pot. What might 'Alal' mean, besides the Basar that remains stuck to the skin after it has been removed?
(c)What if he has in mind to eat a k'Zayis of bone, sinew or hoof?
(d)What is the last item on the list?
8)
(a)Regarding a list of items beginning with someone who Shechts a Korban with the intention of eating a k'Zayis of skin (See Tos Yom Tov) or of the gravy Chutz li'Zemano or Chutz li'Mekomo, the Mishnah rules - that they are not subject to Pigul, Nosar or Tum'ah.
(b)The Tana continues the list with the Kifah and the Alal. 'Kifah' is the spices and the thin layer of food that remains stuck to the bottom of the pot. Besides the Basar that remains stuck to the skin after it has been stripped, 'Alal' might mean - the sinew on the neck, which is hard and inedible.
(c)Next on the list is a k'Zayis of - bone, sinew (See Tosfos Yom Tov) and hoof ...
(d)... and the list ends with horns.
Mishnah 5
9)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses someone who Shechts 'min ha'Mukdashin'. What is the significance of 'Mukdashin' (as opposed to 'Zevach')?
(b)The Tana discusses what the Din will be if he Shechts it having in mind to eat the Sh'lil (fetus) or the Shilya, ba'Chutz. What is 'Shilya'?
(c)What does he say about them regarding Pigul?
9)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses someone who Shechts 'min ha'Mukdashin', which, as opposed to 'Zevach' - refers specifically to a female animal.

(c)He rules - that the Korban does not become Pigul.
10)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about a Kohen who performs Melikah (the specific Shechitah of a bird) on pigeons in the Azarah with the intention of eating their eggs ba'Chutz?
(b)What are the two connotations of 'Pasul'?
(c)And what if someone who eats the milk (that remains in the udders) of an animal or the egg of a pigeon that is Pigul, Nosar or Tamei?
(d)Why is that?
10)
(a)The Mishnah rules that a Kohen who performs Melikah (the specific Shechitah of a bird) on pigeons in the Azarah with the intention of eating their eggs ba'Chutz - does not render the Korban ...
(b)Pasul - via a Machshavah of Chutz li'Mekomo, or Pigul - if it was Chutz li'Zemano.
(c)And someone who eats the milk (that remains in the udders) of an animal or the egg of a pigeon that is Pigul Nosar or Tamei - is not Chayav ...
(d)... since they are not intrinsic parts of the animal.
Mishnah 6
11)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a case where the Shochet has in mind to leave over the blood or the Emurim until tomorrow or to take them outside. What are the Emurim?
(b)Why is this not Pigul or Pasul because of a Machsheves Chutz li'Mekomo?
(c)Rebbi Yehudah declares the Korban Pasul. Why is that?
11)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a case where the Shochet has in mind to leave over the blood or the Emurim - the fat pieces that need to be burned on the Mizbe'ach, until tomorrow, or to take them outside.
(b)This is not Pigul or Pasul because of a Machsheves Chutz li'Mekomo - since those rulings pertain to burning them with those two Machshavos (as we will explain shortly) and not just leaving them over.
(c)Rebbi Yehudah declares the Korban Pasul - just as it would be if he actually left them over until the next day or took them outside.
12)
(a)What do the Chachamim rule in the current case?
(b)Why is that?
(c)Why does Rebbi Yehudah does not include a case where the Shochet has in mind to sprinkle above the Chut ha'Sikra blood of a Korban that is meant to be sprinkled below?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
12)
(a)The Chachamim rule - that the Korban is Kasher ...
(b)... because they maintain that only a Machshavah to burn, sprinkle or eat the Korban Chutz li'Zemano or Chutz li'Mekomo renders the Korban Pasul/Pigul.
(c)Rebbi Yehudah does not include a case where the Shochet has in mind to sprinkle above the Chut ha'Sikra blood of a Korban that is meant to be sprinkled below - because he holds that 'she'Lo bi'Mekomo' is like 'bi'Mekomo' in this regard, as long as one does not have in mind to sprinkle the blood outside the Azarah.
(d)The Halachah is - like the Chachamim.
13)
(a)What does the Tana say about a case where someone Shechts having in mind to place the blood on the ramp or on the Mizbe'ach at a location where there is no Y'sod?
(b)The next three cases on the list are where he has mind to place blood that belongs below the Chut ha'Sikra above, or vice-versa, blood that ought to be sprinkled inside, outside, or vice-versa, and that Teme'im should eat it. What if he has in mind that Teme'im should sacrifice it or that Areilim should eat it or sacrifice it?
(c)What does the Mishnah finally say about a case where he Shechts the Pesach with the intention of ...
1. ... breaking one of its bones.
2. ... eating it half roasted?
3. ... mixing its blood with the blood of Pesulim?
(d)If most Korbanos are only Pasul with a Machshavah of she'Lo bi'Zemanam or she'Lo bi'Mekomam, what additional Machshavah renders Pasul a Pesach and a Chatas?
13)
(a)In a case where someone Shechts having in mind to place the blood on the ramp or on the Mizbe'ach at a location where there is no Y'sod, the Tana rules that - the Korban is Kasher.
(b)The next three cases on the list are where he has mind to place blood that belongs below the Chut ha'Sikra above, or vice-versa, blood that ought to be sprinkled inside, outside, or vice-versa, and that Teme'im should eat it - and the same will apply where he has in mind that Teme'im should sacrifice it or that Areilim should eat it or sacrifice it.
(c)The Mishnah finally incorporates in the list - where he Shechts the Pesach with the intention of ...
1. ... breaking one of its bone ...
2. ... eating it half roasted or ...
3. ... mixing its blood with the blood of P'sulim, which are all Kasher.
(d)Most Korbanos are only Pasul with a Machshavah of she'Lo bi'Zemanam or she'Lo bi'Mekomam - a Machshavah of she'Lo Lishmo renders Pasul a Pesach and a Chatas as well.
