BUYING PRODUCE TO MIX (Yerushalmi Demai Perek 1 Halachah 3 Daf 4a)
יין למורייס ויין לאלונטית קטניות לעשותן טחינין חייבים בדמאי ואין צורך לומר בודאי הן עצמן פטורין מן הדמאי.
Tosefta: If a person bought wine to add to Murias (fish oil) (rather than to drink) or to Alintis (a mixture of old wine, water and oil) or he bought legumes to grind, they are obligated in Demai and certainly in definite Tevel. But if he bought these mixtures (Murias/Aluntis/ground legumes), they are exempt from Demai.
[דף ט עמוד א (עוז והדר)] מה אנן קיימי' אין כרבי אפילו בדמאי יהיו חייבין אין כר''א בר''ש אפילו [דף ד עמוד ב] בודאי יהון פטורים
What is the latter case? If it is like Rebbi, it will be obligated even in Demai (because Rebbi's view - in a Baraisa in Terumos Perek 11 Mishnah 1 - is that Murias is considered wine); if it is like R. Elazar b'R. Shimon (there, that wine in Murias is considered lost) even if it is definite Tevel it should be exempt...
אלא כרבי אנן אמרין בקלין שהקילו בדמאי
Rather, it is like Rebbi, and even though when in a mixture it is considered to be present, they did not decree on Demai when it is in a mixture.
יין לקילור קמח לעשותה מלוגמה חייבים בודאי (ואין צריך לומר)[ופטורים] בדמאי הן עצמן פטורים מן הודאי
If a person bought wine from an Am HaAretz to make an eye ointment or flour to make a bandage, they are obligated if definite and exempt if Demai. If he bought the actual ointment or bandage, even if definitely Tevel, they are exempt.
הכא את אמר פטורים מן הודאי והכא את אמר פטורים מן הדמאי
Question: Concerning the ointment, you said that definite is exempt and about the Murias you said that only Demai is exempt (but not definite)?
כאן על גב גופו הוא בטל וכאן כיון שהוא נותנו הוא בטל
Answer: Murias is for eating and even though it is only in a mixture, since his body benefits from it and the Murias tastes of Terumah, it is obligated. But ointment, which is not for eating, as soon as he adds the wine, it is annulled.
והתני קילור של ע''ז אסור בהנייה.
Question (Baraisa): It is prohibited to gain benefit from the eye ointment of an idolater...? (This shows that even though it is not for consumption, the wine is not annulled in the mixture.)
שנייא היא דכתיב ולא ידבק בידך מאומה מן [דף ט עמוד ב (עוז והדר)] החרם
Answer: This is because the pasuk states (Devarim 13:18), "And nothing that is doomed to destruction shall cling to your hand''.
מה בינן לשמרי' של עכו''ם אלו שמרים של עכו''ם שמא אינן אסורים בהנייה הא שמרים שיבשו אין בהם משום הניית ע''ז:
Question: How are they different from the sediment of idolaters...it is certainly prohibited to gain benefit from the sediment of idolaters, but if they dried out, they are not prohibited (because the flavor of wine is no longer recognizable. If so, since when idolater's wine is mixed with an ointment, the wine is no longer recognizable, it should be permitted!)? (The Gemara leaves this question unanswered.)
מכזיב ולהלן פטור מן הדמאי: כזיב עצמה מה היא.
Question: The Mishnah taught (zevachim 81-2(b)) that from Kaziv (at the northern edge of Eretz Yisrael) and beyond is exempt from Demai. What is the law of Kaziv itself?
תני כזיב עצמה פטורה מן הדמאי:
Answer: A Baraisa taught that Kaziv itself is exempt from Demai.
הלוקח מן החמרת בצור ומן המגורת בצידן חייב
Tosefta Demai 1:8: If a person bought from a caravan of donkey drivers selling produce in Tzur (north of Kaziv); or from a storehouse in Tzidan (north of Tzur), it is obligated.
הא מן המגורת בצור ומן החמר' בצידן פטור
The Gemara extrapolates: But produce from a storehouse in Tzur and from a caravan in Tzidan is exempt (because the produce in the storehouses in Tzur is normally grown there and in Tzidan they normally bring from Chutz LaAretz).
מחמר יחידי בצור
The Tosefta continues: From a single donkey driver in Tzur (the produce is exempt).
חמרת שנכנס לצור דרך כזיב
Question: If a group of donkey drivers entered Tzur via Kaziv (i.e. from the north, is it exempt because he didn't enter Eretz Yisrael at all, or should we be concerned, lest he enter Kaziv from the south, and the produce should be obligated)...?
אתי חמי אילו עמדה לה בכזיב פטורה עכשיו שנכנסה לצור
Answer: Kaziv itself is exempt and we are not concerned that there might be produce there that came from Eretz Yisrael; so would we be concerned about entering Tzur from Kaziv?!
אמר רבי יוחנן בשעה שגזרו הדמאי לא גזרו על דברי' הללו
(R. Yochanan): (Our Mishnah (Zevachim 81-2(c)) listed a number of things, such as Challah of an Am HaAretz and Medumah etc. that are exempt from Demai) When they decreed about Demai, they didn't decree about these things (Terumah and Kodshim).
אמר ר' הושעיא אימת קדשי' עליו ואינו נותן לכהן דבר שאינו מתוקן.
(R. Hoshiya): The Am HaAretz has the fear of Kodshim upon him for these things and he would only give to the Kohen something that has been correctly tithed.
וחלת עם הארץ על דעתיה דרבי הושעיא בחלת ע''ה היא מתניתא [דף י עמוד א (עוז והדר)] אבל חבר שלקח עיסה מעם הארץ והפריש חלתה לא על דעתיה דרבי יוחנן היא הדא היא הדא
Difference #1: The Challah of an Am HaAretz - according to R. Hoshiya it refers to Challah that he himself separated; but if a Chaver bought dough from an Am HaAretz and separated the Challah himself, it is Demai (since he bought grain (i.e. dough) from an Am HaAretz). According to R. Yochanan - in both cases they did not decree Demai.
והמדומע על דעתיה דרבי הושעיא בפירות עם הארץ היא מתנית' אבל חבר שלקח פירות מעם הארץ ונדמעו לא על דעתי' דרבי יוחנן היא הדא היא הדא
Difference #2: Medumah - (see above Zevachim 81-2(c) - according to R. Hoshiya, the Mishnah is discussing produce of an Am HaAretz, but if a Chaver bought produce from an Am HaAretz and it became Medumah (i.e. some Terumah became mixed into it), they are obligated. According to R. Yochanan, there is no difference between these two cases - they did not decree, so they are exempt.
מאי נפק [דף ה עמוד א] מביניהן סאה עולה מתוך מאה על דעתי' דרבי יוחנן חייבת על דעתיה דרבי הושעיא פטורה
(Difference #3): If a Se'ah of Terumah of an Am HaAretz fell into 100 Se'ah of Chulin (which is enough Chulin to negate the Terumah) - according to R. Yochanan, it is obligated in Demai; according to R. Hoshiya (that an Am HaAretz is exempt because he has fear from Kodshim), it is exempt.
תני וכולן שקרא שם לתרומת מעשר או למעשר שני שלה מה שעשה עשוי
Baraisa: In all the cases of the Mishnah, if parts of them were declared Terumas Maaser or Maaser Sheni, it is valid (and must be given to the relevant recipients).
על דעתיה דרבי יוחנן ניחא על דעתיה דר' הושעיא מתוקנין ואת אמרת הכן
Question: According to R. Yochanan, it is fine; but according to R. Hoshiya, they are already tithed?!
[דף י עמוד ב (עוז והדר)] מפני א' שאינו מתקן שאין אימת קדשי' עליו תני וכולן שקרא שם לתרומת מעשר או למעשר שני שלהן מה שעשה עשוי מפני א' שאינו מתקן:
Answer: Since there might be a person someone who does not fear Kodshim, the Baraisa therefore taught that if parts were declared Terumas Maaser or Maaser Sheni, it is valid.
