YEVAMOS 46-60 - Ari Kornfeld has generously sponsored the Dafyomi
publications for these Dafim for the benefit of Klal Yisrael.

*1*) [line 22] U'MAI B'ZU - that is, in what way is the power of the Yavam
better than that of the husband, in this case?
2) [line 50] SHAVIK LEHU L'RABANAN AD D'MESAIMEI MILSAIHU - Rebbi Nasan let
the Rabanan finish what they were saying
56b---------------------------------------56b
3) [line 1] V'ANHERINHU L'AININ MI'MASNISIN - and "lit up our eyes," i.e.
brought us a proof from a Mishnah (on 53b)
4) [line 3] TANA TUNA - and our Tana (of the Mishnah) taught
5) [line 14] ZONAH
(a) One of the women prohibited to the Kohanim is a Zonah (Vayikra 21:7, 14).
The Rabanan learn that the Zonah of the Torah refers to any of several
different women:
1. A Nochris.
2. A woman who had relations with a man whom she is prohibited to marry.
Included are a Nochri, slave, Isurei Arayos, Chayavei Lavim that are not
specific to Kohanim (Nasin, Mamzer, Petzu'a Daka, etc.) and Isurei Aseh.
3. A woman who had relations with a Chalal, even though she is permitted to
marry him.
4. A woman who converted or a maidservant who was freed.
(b) The status of Zonah does not come about just because of relations that
are prohibited. For example, a woman is not rendered a Zonah if she has
relations during the time that she was a Nidah or if she had relations with
an animal, but rather from relations with a man whom she is prohibited to
marry (except for a Chalal, as above, a:3). (RAMBAM Hilchos Isurei Bi'ah
18:1-5)
6) [line 15] TUM'AH
The Chachamim rule (Yevamos 11b) that the verse, "Acharei Asher Hutama'ah"
(Devarim 24:4), besides referring to the case of Machzir Gerushaso (see
Background to Yevamos 11:3), prohibits a husband from having relations with
his wife after she had relations with another man.
7) [line 16] "...V'HI LO NISPASAH." - "...and she was not seized." (Bamidbar
5:13)
8) [line 18] LAV HA'BA MI'CHLAL ASEH, ASEH
(a) A Mitzvas Aseh, a positive commandment, is not as stringent as a Lo
Sa'aseh in certain respects. For instance, one only receives Malkos for
transgressing a Lo Sa'aseh, not an Aseh.
(b) A Lav ha'Ba mi'Chlal Aseh is a prohibition that is learned by inference
from a Mitzvas Aseh. Since the prohibition is not explicit in the Torah but
rather is learned from inference from a Mitzvas Aseh, it is only as stringent
as a Mitzvas Aseh.
(c) An example of a Lav ha'Ba mi'Chlal Aseh is the prohibition for the Yavam
to marry the Tzarah, co-wife, of his Yevamah. The word "Aleha" in the Aseh of
"Yevamah Yavo Aleha" ("he should marry *her*") teaches that only the Yevamah
is permitted to the Yavam; the Tzarah is forbidden (RASHI Yevamos 11a, RAMBAM
Hilchos Yibum 1:12).
9) [line 39] KIDUSHEI RESHUS EIN MA'ACHILIN - (a) if a Yisrael is Mekadesh
the daughter of Kohen who is permitted to him, she stops eating Terumah
(RASHI, 1st explanation). (The daughter of a Kohen eats Terumah before she
marries a non-Kohen and after she becomes a widow or a divorcee and has no
children from him, as stated in Vayikra 22:13); (b) if a non-Kohen is
Mekadesh a woman who is permitted to him, she does not eat Terumah. (RASHI,
2nd explanation)
10) [line 43] PETZU'A DAKA
A Petzu'a Daka is a man who cannot have children because his testicles have
become maimed (Yevamos 70a). He may not marry into Benei Yisrael, as is
stated in Devarim 23:2. He may, however, marry a convert or a freed slave
(Yevamos76a).
