Chagigah 21

CHAGIGAH 21 - Dedicated by Dovid and Zahava Rubner of Petach Tikva. May Hashem grant them and all of their offspring with joy, fulfillment, and all that they need!

11. An Onen and one who is Mechusar Kipurim require Tevilah in order to eat Kodesh, but not for Terumah.
1) THE FIRST STRINGENCY OF KODESH OVER TERUMAH: IMMERSING UTENSILS INSIDE OF OTHER UTENSILS
(a) What is the reason one may not immerse utensils inside of other utensils for Kodesh?
(b) (R. Ila) The weight of the inner utensil upon the outer utensil constitutes a Chatzitzah.
1. Question: But the fact that the fifth stringency is because of a Chatzitzah implies that this one is not because of a Chatzitzah!
2. Answer: Both are because of Chatzitzah, and both cases are needed for a different Chidush.

3. R. Ila is consistent with another statement he made.
(i) R. Ila said that there are only ten stringencies in our Mishnah (the two cases of Chatzitzah being considered as one).
(ii) The first five apply to Kodesh as well as Chulin prepared with the Taharah of Kodesh.
(iii) The last five apply only to Kodesh, but not to Chulin prepared w ith the Taharah of Kodesh.
(iv) The difference is that the first five cases deal with a concern for a d'Oraisa law.
(v) Therefore, the Rabanan enacted those stringencies to apply to Chulin prepared with Taharah of Kodesh as well.
(c) (Rava) Since the fifth stringency is because of Chatzitzah, it must be that the first one is for another reason.
1. Rather, the first one is a Gezeirah in order to prevent one from immersing small utensils (needles and weaving-forks) in a vessel whose mouth is smaller than the reed inserted into the mouth of a leather canteen.
(i) (Mikva'os 6:7) A reed, whose hollow is a diameter of two fingers, is the minimum size necessary for the passage of water to be considered linked to, and part of, the Mikvah.
