*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach and the
marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER*
important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi
and Tosfos

[1] Rashi 126a DH ha'Bayis Tamei #1:
The words "Ka Salka Da'atach *ad'Ein*"
should be "Ka Salka Da'atach *d'a'Ein*"

The words "u'Mistama Ein *Mevatlin*"
should be "u'Mistama Ein *Mevatlan*"

[3] Gemara 126b [line 19]:
The words "Hadar Pashtah, Mechusar Nekivah *Lav* k'Mechusar Ma'aseh"
should be "Hadar Pashtah, Mechusar Nekivah k'Mechusar Ma'aseh"
(see SHITAH MEKUBETZES #5)

[4] Gemara 126b [line 30]:
It appears that
the words "she'Efshar Liga *k'Chut* ha'Sa'arah"
should be "she'Efshar Liga *b'Chut* ha'Sa'arah"

[5] Rashi 126b DH Shalosh:
The words "Shtayim *mi'Tum'aso* Shel Mes"
should be "Shtayim *mi'Tum'os* Shel Mes"

12) [line 3] GOLEL VE'DOFEK
(a) There are three basic opinions as to the meaning of Golel and Dofek:

1. Golel refers to the wooden or stone cover of a coffin, and Dofek refers to its sides. The sides are called Dofek because the cover of the coffin bangs ("Dofek") on them. (RASHI to Sukah 23a, TOSFOS ibid. DH v'Lo Golel, ARUCH Erech Gelal, OR ZARU'A 2:424)
2. Golel refers to the gravestone that is above the coffin, which is used as a marker. At the top and bottom of the gravestone are two smaller stones that are each called Dofek. (RABEINU TAM, cited by TOSFOS to Kesuvos 4b DH Ad she'Yisasem ha'Golel)
3. When people used burial vaults rather than graves, they made use of a large stone or log as a door, which they would roll in front of the entrance. This door was called a Golel because they would roll ("Golel") it. They would also use a wedge-like stone or plank, called a Dofek, to keep the door in place (OR ZARU'A 2:424, quoting RAV MOSHE).

(b) The Golel and Dofek are Avi Avos ha'Tum'ah and are Metamei through Maga and Ohel (and according to Rebbi Eliezer in Ohalos 2:4, they are also Metamei through Masa -- see RASHASH to RASHI Sukah ibid. DH v'Lo Golel). (See also Insights to Chulin 126:6.)
