Berachos 61
***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg
and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is
devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara,
Rashi or Tosfos.)
[1] Gemara 61b [line 13]:
"v'Amar Rava, Lo Ivri Alma ... l'Tzadikei Gemurei"
The Maharsha points out that these words do not appear in the Yalkut or in
Ein Yakov. Accordingly, the next line in the Gemara, "Amar Rava, Leida
Inish b'Nafshei Im ..." is Rava's answer to Abaye's question. (In Dikdukei
Sofrim the Girsa is "*Yode'a* Inish ...")
************************************************
*1*) [line 7] MAI DI'CHSIV "VA'YITZER ..." - This appears to have been
brought in reference to the end of the Mishnah, "b'Shnei Yitzrecha ..."
2) [line 8] SHNEI YETZARIM - two Inclinations
*3*) [line 34] MELAMED SHE'KAL'AH - A braid comes out nicely only when
another person does it for the woman (Shabbos 95a). HaSh-m made Chava's

her. (M. Kornfeld)

10a) [line 3] KURKEVAN - usually the gizzard (the second stomach of a

refer to either the small intestine or the duodenum
11) [line 3] AF NEI'OR - the nose awakens him from his sleep
12) [line 3] NEI'OR HA'YASHEN, YASHEN HA'NEI'OR - when the nose causes him
to sleep, *and* the stomach (see above, #10b) awakens him; alt. when the
nose, along with the stomach, cause him to sleep, *or* the stomach, along
with the nose, awaken him

you here?" i.e. Why are you in prison?

lightheadedness, flippancy (RASHI); (b) a person should not stand undressed
