Mishnah 1
1)
(a)The Mishnah discusses a Chatas ha'Of that the Kohen sacrifices below the Chut ha'Sikra. Where should it be sacrificed?
(b)He declares it Kasher provided it is brought as a Chatas le'Shem (having in mind a) Chatas. What does he mean by ...
1. ... 'as a Chatas'?
2. ... ' le'Shem Chatas'? What did the Kohen do wrong that nevertheless does not render it Pasul?
1)
(a)The Mishnah discusses a Chatas ha'Of that the Kohen sacrifices below the Chut ha'Sikra - which is where it should be sacrificed.
(b)He declares it Kasher provided it is brought as a Chatas le'Shem Chatas (having in mind a Chatas). What he means by ...
1. ... 'as a Chatas' is - with Haza'ah and Mitzuy.
2. ... ' le'Shem Chatas' - he had in mind to bring it as a Chatas, even though he severed the head whilst performing Melikah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
2)
(a)What does the Tana say in a case where the Kohen brings the Chatas ha'Of ...
1. ... le'Shem Olah?
2. ... as an Olah le'Shem Chatas?
3. ... as an Olah le'Shem Olah (See Tos. Yom-Tov and Tiferes Yisrael)?
(b)What is meant by 'as an Olah'?
(c)What is the reason for the first ruling?
(d)When will the Chatas be Pasul, even if he brings it as a Chatas le'Shem Chatas?
2)
(a)In a case where the Kohen brings the Chatas ha'Of ...
1. ... le'Shem Olah or ...
2. ... as an Olah le'Shem Chatas - it is Pasul.
3. ... as an Olah le'Shem Olah (See Tos. Yom-Tov and Tiferes Yisrael) - it is Pasul
(b)'as an Olah' means - having performed Haza'ah but not Mitzuy.
(c)The reason for the first ruling is - because a Chatas she'Lo li'Shemah is Pasul.
(d)The Chatas will be Pasul, even if he brings it as a Chatas le'Shem Chatas - if he brings it above the Chut ha'Sikra (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
Mishnah 2
3)
(a)On which side of the Chut ha'Sikra is the Olas ha'Of sacrificed?
(b)If the Kohen sacrifices it 'ke'Ma'aseh Olah le'Shem Olah' it is Kasher. What did the Kohen do wrong that nevertheless does not render it Pasul?
(c)What if he sacrifices it above the Chut ha'Sikra but le'Shem Chatas?
(d)Why is that?
(e)What is the one snag?
3)
(a)The Olas ha'Of is sacrificed - above the Chut ha'Sikra.
(b)If the Kohen sacrifices it as an Olah le'Shem Olah' it is Kasher - even though the Kohen failed to sever the head whilst performing Melikah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(c)If he sacrifices it above the Chut ha'Sikra but le'Shem Chatas - it is Kasher ...
(d)... because all Korbanos (except for Chatas and Pesach) that one sacrifices she'Lo le'Shemo are Kasher.
(e)The one snag is - that the owner is not Yotzei.
4)
(a)What will be the Din if the Kohen brings the Olas ha'Of in the form of a Chatas even le'Shem Olah?
(b)When will it be Pasul, even if he brings it as an Olah le'Shem Olah?
4)
(a)If the Kohen brings the Olas ha'Of as a Chatas even le'Shem Olah - it is Pasul (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(b)And it will be Pasul even if he brings it as an Olah le'Shem Olah - if he sacrifices it below the Chut ha'Sikra (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
Mishnah 3
5)
(a)On what condition is a bird Metamei the person who eats it (' ... a'beis ha'Beli'ah') even without touching it?
(b)How is it possible to eat it without touching it?
(c)What level of Tum'ah does it render the one who eats it?
(d)Then why, in the above cases, does the Mishnah declare Tahor whoever eats the Korban, even where the Korban is Pasul?
5)
(a)A bird is Metamei the person who eats it (' ... a'beis ha'Beli'ah') even without touching it - if it is a Neveilah.
(b)It is possible to eat it without touching it - if somebody else sticks it down one's throat.
(c)It renders the one who eats it Tamei - even to be Metamei the clothes he is wearing.
(d)And the reason, in the above cases, that the Mishnah declares Tahor whoever eats the Korban, even where the Korban is Pasul is because (even though the Korban is Pasul) - the Melikah takes the bird out of the realm of Neveilah.
6)
(a)The Tana also declares that all the cases are subject to Me'ilah except for one. What are the ramifications of the Chiyuv Me'ilah?
(b)Which one is the exception?
(c)Why is it not subject to Me'ilah even to a Zar?
6)
(a)The Tana also declares that all the cases are subject to Me'ilah - and are therefore subject to a Korban Asham Me'ilos, except for ...
(b)... that of a Chatas ha'Of she'Asa'ah le'Matah ke'Ma'aseh Chatas le'Shem Chatas ...
(c)... which is not subject to Me'ilah even to a Zar - because it is permitted to the Kohanim, and Kodshim that have become permitted to be eaten by Kohanim (or Yisre'elim) are not subject to Me'ilah.
Mishnah 4
7)
(a)According to Rebbi Eliezer, an Olas ha'Of that is brought below the Chut ha'Sikra as a Chatas le'Shem Chatas is subject to Me'ilah. Why is that?
(b)On what grounds does Rebbi Yehoshua disagree with him?
(c)How does Rebbi Eliezer try to prove his point from a Chatas which is not subject to Me'ilah when it is brought li'Shemah?
(d)How does Rebbi Yehoshua counter Rebbi Eliezer's proof? Why is there no proof from there?
7)
(a)According to Rebbi Eliezer, an Olas ha'Of that is brought below the Chut ha'Sikra as a Chatas le'Shem Chatas is subject to Me'ilah - because it is after all, an Olah which did not become permitted to the Kohanim.
(b)Rebbi Yehoshua disagrees with him - because, since he brought it as a Chatas le'Shem Chatas, it is a Chatas (See Tosfos Yom Tov), which is not subject to Me'ilah.
(c)Rebbi Eliezer tries to prove his point from a Chatas which is not subject to Me'ilah when it is brought li'Shemah - yet if the Kohen brings it she'Lo li'Shemah, it is subject to Me'ilah, how much more so should an Olah, which is subject to Me'ilah when brought li'Shemah, be subject to Me'ilah when it is brought she'Lo li'Shemah.
(d)Rebbi Yehoshua counters Rebbi Eliezer's proof however - in that whereas a Chatas that the Kohen brings le'Shem Olah, he is bringing it in the name of something which is subject to Me'ilah, in our case (the reverse), he is bringing in the name of something which is not.
8)
(a)How does Rebbi Eliezer counter Rebbi Eliezer from Kodshei Kodshim that one Shechted in the south?
(b)On what grounds is one Mo'el there?
(c)What does Rebbi Yehoshua say in that case?
(d)On what grounds does he then reject Rebbi Eliezer's comparison to an Olas ha'Of that one brings le'Shem Chatas?
(e)Why does the latter not contain any Isur?
8)
(a)Rebbi Eliezer counters Rebbi Eliezer from Kodshei Kodshim that one Shechted in the south - in the name of Kodshim Kalim, which are subject to Me'ilah even though one changed them to something that is not ...
(b)... since the change of location renders them Pasul and the Zerikah does not remove them from the realm of Me'ilah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(c)Rebbi Yehoshua agrees with that ...
(d)... only he rejects Rebbi Eliezer's comparison to an Olas ha'Of that one brings le'Shem Chatas - because, whereas the former constitutes a change to something that contains both Isur (which is subject to Me'ilah) and Heter, the latter constitutes a change to something that is entirely Heter (which is not subject to Me'ilah) ...
(e)... since Chatas ha'Of is eaten in its entirety by the Kohanim.
Mishnah 5
9)
(a)From where do we know that Melikah must be performed with the right hand?
(b)What do we also learn from "be'Yom Tzavoso" regarding Melikah?
(c)What does the Mishnah nevertheless say about a Korban Of on which the Kohen performed Melikah with the left hand or by night, regarding being Metamei the person who eats it?
(d)This is subject to two conditions, one of them that it became Pasul after it was sanctified. What is the other?
9)
(a)We know that Melikah must be performed with the right hand - from the fact that the Torah inserts the word "Kohen" with regard to it, and any Avodah by which the Torah writes 'Kehunah' or 'Etzba', requires the right hand (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(b)We also learn from "be'Yom Tzavoso" - that Melikah (like all other Avodos) can only be performed by day.
(c)The Mishnah nevertheless rules that a Korban Of on which the Kohen performed Melikah with the left hand or by night does not render Tamei the person who eats it ...
(d)... a. because it became Pasul after it was sanctified, and b. because it is therefore Kasher inasmuch as if it is brought on the Mizbe'ach, it is not taken down (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
10)
(a)What does the Tana say about a Chulin bird that is Shechted inside the Azarah or Kodshim that is Shechted outside (both of which may not be eaten)?
(b)The first in a List of Pesulim listed by the Mishnah that do render whoever eats the bird Tamei if he eats it is, where he performed the Melikah using a knife. Why is that?
(c)Next on the list are Malak Chulin bi'Fenim or Kodshim ba'Chutz. Why are they Metamei a'Beis ha'Beli'ah?
10)
(a)the Tana rules that a Chulin bird that is Shechted inside the Azarah or Kodshim that is Shechted outside (both of which may not be eaten)- do not render Tamei the person who eats it (See Tosfos Yom Tov DH 'Shachat Chulin' & 've'Kodshim ba'Chutz').
(b)The first in a list of Pesulim listed by the Mishnah that do render whoever eats the bird Tamei if he eats it is where the Kohen performed the Melikah using a knife - because it is considered neither Melikah nor Shechitah (See Tosfos Yom Tov) and is therefore Neveilah.
(c)Next on the list are Malak Chulin bi'Fenim (See Tosfos Yom Tov) or Kodshim ba'Chutz, which are Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah - because any Melikah other than Melikas Kodshim bi'Fenim is Neveilah.
11)
(a)The list continues with Torin (pigeons) and b'nei-Yonah (doves). When is Melikah considered Neveilah by ...
1. ... by Torim?
2. ... by b'nei Yonah?
(b)What does the Tana now say about a bird whose wing dried up, whose eye is blinded or whose leg is severed?
(c)Why is that?
(d)How will we reconcile the last statement with the principle that neither Tamus (the lack of a blemish) nor Zachrus (a difference in gender) is necessary by a bird?
11)
(a)The list continues with Torin (pigeons) and b'nei Yonah (doves). Melikah is considered Neveilah ...
1. ... by Torim - when they are still young.
2. ... by b'nei Yonah - when they are grown-up.
(b)The Tana now says that a bird whose wing dried up, whose eye is blinded (See Tosfos Yom Tov) or whose leg is severed - is Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah ...
(c)... since the Melikah does not serve any purpose (and therefore renders the bird a Neveilah) ...
(d)... because even though neither Tamus (the lack of a blemish) nor Zachrus (a difference in gender) is necessary by a bird - it is nevertheless Pasul if it is missing an entire limb (See Tosfos Yom Tov DH 'she'Yavesh Gapah').
12)
(a)In the K'lal (principle) cited by the Tana, when is a Kodshim bird ...
1. ... not Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah?
2. ... Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah?
(b)And what does he finally say about P'sulim who perform Melikah, other than that the Melikah is Pasul?
(c)What are examples of P'sulim in this regard?
(d)What is the reason for this final ruling?
12)
(a)) In the K'lal (principle) cited by the Tana, a Kodshim bird is ...
1. ... not Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah - if the P'sul occurred after it became Kodesh (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
2. ... Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah - if the P'sul preceded the Hekdesh.
(b)He finally rules that if P'sulim perform Melikah, the Melikah is Pasul - but the bird is not Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah someone who eats it.
(c)Examples of P'sulim in this regard are - a Zar, an Onein, a T'vul Yom and a Mechusar Kipurim.
(d)The reason for this final ruling is that - even though the Melikah does not permit the Kodshim to be eaten, it nevertheless takes them out of the realm of Neveilah.
Mishnah 6
13)
(a)If, after the Melikah, the bird is found to be a T'reifah, Rebbi Meir says that it is not Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah. Why is that?
(b)What does Rebbi Yehudah say?
(c)What is his reason? What do the Shechitah of a Chulin bird and the Melikah of a bird of Kodshim have in common in this regard?
13)
(a)If after the Melikah, the bird is found to be a T'reifah (See Tosfos Yom Tov), Rebbi Meir says that it is not Metamei a'beis ha'Beli'ah - because the Melikah takes it out of the realm of Neveilah.
(b)Rebbi Yehudah rules that - it is (See Tosfos Yom Tov) ...
(c)... because he holds that neither the Shechitah of a Chulin bird nor the Melikah of a bird of Kodshim - can remove it from the realm of Neveilah.
14)
(a)What Kal va'Chomer does Rebbi Meir make from the Shechitah of a T'reifah animal to prove his ruling?
(b)How does that explain his leniency regarding Melikah by a Kodshim bird?
(c)Rebbi Yossi makes a compromise between Rebbi Meir and Rebbi Yehudah. What does he say?
(d)What is his reason"?
(e)Like whom is the Halachah?
14)
(a)To prove his ruling, Rebbi Meir argues that - if the Shechitah of a T'reifah animal, whose Neveilah is subject to Tum'as Maga and Masa, can save it from becoming a Neveilah, Kal va'Chomer the Shechitah of a bird, whose Neveilah is not subject to Tum'as Maga and Masa!
(b)And we learn the Melikah by a Kodshim bird from the Shechitah of a Chulin bird - with a Binyan Av.
(c)Rebbi Yossi - rules like Rebbi Meir regarding the Shechitah of a T'reifah bird, but - like Rebbi Yehudah regarding the Melikah ...
(d)... because, based on the S'vara of 'Dayo', we can only learn the Shechitah of a bird from the Shechitah of an animal, but not Melikah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(e)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Yossi.
