Ask A Question on the daf

1) [line 2] RE'IYAH Every Jewish male is required to appear before HaSh-m in the Azarah of the Beis ha'Mikdash and to bring a Korban Re'iyah on the three festivals (Devarim 16:16). The Korban Re'iyah is a Korban Olah. If the Korban was not brought on the first day of the festival, it may be brought on any of the other six days of Pesach. On Sukos it may be brought on the first day or the next seven days and on Shavu'os it may be brought on Shavuos or on the six days following the festival.

2) [line 2] CHERESH - a deaf person
3) [line 2] SHOTEH - (lit. a fool) a person who is mad or deranged
4a) [line3] TUMTUM - a person whose genitals are hidden so that we do not know if he is a male or a female
b) [line 3] ANDROGINUS - hermaphrodite, a person with both male and female reproductive organs. There is a Machlokes as to whether an Androginus is a male, female or a new gender.

5) [line 3] AVADIM SHE'EINAM MESHUCHRARIM - (lit. slaves that have not been freed) the Gemara (Daf 4a) concludes that this refers to a slave originally owned by partners, one of whom freed his half, leaving him half slave and half freeman

6) [line 4] CHIGER - a lame person
7) [line 4] SUMA - a blind man
8) [line 11] SHTEI CHESEF - two Ma'os (see entry #9, below)

9) [line 11] CHAGIGAH
Every Jewish male is obligated to come to the Azarah of the Beis ha'Mikdash on Pesach, Shavuos and Sukos, and bring an animal as a Korban Chagigah, as the Torah states, "Shalosh Regalim Tachog Li ba'Shanah" (Shemos 23:14).

10) [line 11] ME'AH (a coin that is worth one-sixth of a Dinar)

• 1 Sela = 4 Dinarim
• 1 Dinar = 6 Ma'os
• 1 Me'ah = 2 Pundeyonim
• 1 Pundeyon = 2 Isarim
• 1 Isar = 6-8 Prutos (based on Kidushin 12a)

11) [line 14] MI SHE'CHETZYO EVED VE'CHETZYO BEN CHORIN - a person who is part slave (Eved Kena'ani), part freeman; e.g. a slave originally owned by partners, one of whom freed his half

12) [line 17] NISPASHET - he was cured

13) [line 18] KULAN TASHLUMIN ZEH LA'ZEH
(a) Every Jewish male is required to bring a Korban Re'iyah on the three festivals. If the Korban was not brought on the first day of the festival, it may be brought on any of the other six days of Pesach. On Sukos it may be brought on the first day or the next seven days and on Shavu'os it may be brought on Shavuos or on the six days following the festival.
(b) The Amora'im argue as to whether the primary obligation is to bring the Korban on the first day of the festival. Those who rule as such consider the successive days as "Tashlumin" (compensation) for the first day. Others rule that the obligation is to bring a Korban on one of the days of the festival, not necessarily the first. The practical difference that arises from this argument regards a person who was not fit to offer the Korban on the first day, but became fit on the second day (such as a lame person who became well or a blind person who regained his sight). According to the opinion that the successive days are Tashlumin for the first day, this person is exempt from his obligation since he was not fit to bring the Korban on the first day of the festival. According to the other opinion, he still has an obligation to bring it.

14) [line 23] SHE'NE'EMAR "YIR'EH" - "YERA'EH" - (a) since it is written with the letters Yud, Reish, Alef, Heh, which in other places is read "Yir'eh" ("He shall see"), but here is read "Yera'eh" ("He shall be seen") we learn that only one who sees normally with both eyes needs to be seen by HaSh-m at the Beis ha'Mikdash (RASHI); (b) The Girsa of RABIENU TAM is SHE'NE'EMAR *"YERA'EH" - "YIR'EH"* - just as a person comes to be seen by HaSh-m with the "two eyes" of the Omnipresent, so, too, only one who sees with two eyes is obligated to bring a Korban Re'iyah (TOSFOS)

15a) [line 28] KAN BA'MISHNAH RISHONAH - this case (Ravina's interpretation of our Mishnah, that a Chetzyo Eved Chetzyo Ben Chorin is exempt from Re'iyah) follows the ruling of the original Mishnah
b) [line 28] KAN BA'MISHNAH ACHARONAH - this case (the original assumption of the Gemara that our Mishnah obligates the Chetzyo Eved Chetzyo Ben Chorin) follows the ruling of the later Mishnah (when Beis Hillel agreed to Beis Shamai)

16) [line 20] ISHTAKEL MILULEI - his speech was taken (ILeM is an acronym for IshtakeL Milulei)

17) [line 25] SIMCHAH
(a) The Mitzvah of Simchah (Devarim 27:7) that applies on the three festivals of Pesach, Shavu'os and Sukos requires a person to eat from sacrifices every day of the holiday. If no other sacrifice is available, the person brings a special Korban, known as Shalmei Simchah, for the purpose of fulfilling this Mitzvah. Women are also obligated in this Mitzvah (RAMBAM Hilchos Chagigah 1:1).
(b) Besides offering extra Korbanos, the Mitzvah of Simchah also requires that all of the Jews be happy on the holidays. Buying food and clothing that cause one to be happy, each person according to his taste, fulfills this Mitzvah. One must also remember to support the poor and downtrodden on Yom Tov, for if one spends one's time eating and drinking without helping the poor, it is not considered a Simchah Shel Mitzvah; rather, it is Simchas Kreiso (a feast for one's stomach) (RAMBAM Hilchos Yom Tov 6:17-18).
