Questions
1)
According to Ravina, the Beraisa 'Zehu Heter ha'Ba mi'Chelal Isur' refers to
the place where the Zero'a Besheilah is cut from the leg, which is ...
1. ... normally Asur - incorporating the cases included in "u'Basar ba'Sadeh
Tereifah" (such as where the Ubar stuck out its foot and one cut it off, as
we learned in 'Beheimah ha'Maksheh').
2. ... Mutar with regard to all Isurim of Kodshim (not connected with
'Yotze'), such as Chazeh ve'Shok and the Eimurim that were cooked still
attached to the Basar (Tosfos DH 'Lo Nitzrechah').
2)
Rav Dimi cited the opinion of Rav Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak (who requires one
in a hundred to become Bateil). Abaye queried him from a Mishnah in Orlah,
which states 'Kol ha'Mechametz, u'Metavel u'Medame Lehachmir Miyn u'Miyno'.
With reference to Terumah ...
1. ... 'Mechametz' means - that one causes a Chulin dough to rise with yeast
of Terumah.
2. ... 'Metavel' means - that one cooks a Chulin dish with Terumah spices.
3. ... 'Medame' means - that one cooks a Chulin mixed with Terumah
ingredients.
3)
(a) The Shi'ur of Bitul regarding Terumah is - one in a hundred and one.
(b) The Tana says that Miyn ve'she'Eino Miyno' - is sometimes Lehakeil and
sometimes Lehachmir.
(c) 'Lehachmir' there refers to where one cooked a Chulin bean stew with
lentils of Terumah which are Nosen Ta'am. The Tana is referring to ...
1. ... the Chumra of Nosen Ta'am, which is Asur even if the mixture contains
a hundred and one measures of Chulin to the one of Terumah (for instance, if
the Terumas Ma'aser fell back into the Chulin from which it was initially
separated).
2. ... the Kula of Eino Nosen Ta'am, which is permitted to a Zar even if the
stew does not contain a hundred and one measures of Chulin to the one of
Terumah.
(d) The Shi'ur Bitul of a hundred and one regarding Terumah pertains to -
Yavesh be'Yavesh (when Terumah wheat for example, falls into a hundred and
one of Chulin, where on the one hand, it is not Nosen Ta'am, and on the
other, the Terumah remains intact).
4)
(a) With regard to the case of 'le'Kula', where the stew does not contain a
hundred and one measures of Chulin to the one of Terumah - Abaye thinks that
there must be at least Shishim (in order to become Bateil), a Kashya on Rav
Dimi.
(b) Rav Dimi will answer that, according to Rebbi Shmuel bar Rav Yitzchak,
there is not a hundred and one, but there is a hundred. The problem with
this is that the Reisha (which we are about to discuss) speaks about the
Shi'ur of a hundred, which suggests that the Seifa speaks about the Shi'ur
of Shishim (as we shall now see).

Questions
5)
(a) The Tana rules in the Reisha regarding 'Miyn u'Miyno Lehachmir' that if
a piece of yeast of wheat falls into a wheat dough, sufficiently large to be
Mechametz it - it is Asur to Zarim, even if there is a hundred and one,
because Nosen Ta'am is always Asur.
(b) The Chumra to which the Tana refers is - that if there is not a hundred
and one, then it is Asur even there is not sufficient yeast to be Mechametz
the dough.
(c) Abaye interprets a hundred and one - as a hundred and one including the
Isur. And it therefore transpires that in the Reisha, the Tana requires a
hundred against the yeast of Terumah, whereas in the Seifa, Shishim is
sufficient to be Mevatel the lentils of Terumah.
(d) Rav Dimi counters that - by interpreting a hundred and one as a hundred
and one in the dough against the yeast, whereas in the Seifa, one hundred
will suffice.
6)
(a) Abaye asked Rav Dimi that if the Reisha is speaking when there is a
hundred and one in the dough alone, then why is the yeast not Bateil even if
it is sufficiently large to be Mechametz the dough, which it ought to be -
because one can assume that there is nothing that gives so much taste (that
is not Bateil in a hundred and one).
(b) Rav Dimi reacted to that - with silence (because he had no answer).
(c) Abaye himself however, answered the Kashya - by suggesting that perhaps
yeast is particularly sharp, and gives out more taste than other food.
(d) Rav Dimi's reaction to that was based on a statement of Rebbi Yossi
b'Rebbi Chanina, who stated - that not all Shi'urim are the same, and that
fish-juice for example, requires almost two hundred to be Mevatel it.
7)
(a) Rebbi Yossi b'Rebbi Chanina based his statement on a Mishnah in
T'rumos - where the Tana rules that the fish-juice of 'a Tamei fish' is
Asur.
(b) Rebbi Yehudah gives the Shi'ur as 'Revi'is be'Sa'sayim'. A Revi'is is -
a quarter of a Lug.
(c) There are four Lugin in a Kav, six Kabin in a Sa'ah ...
1. ... twenty-four Lugin in a Sa'ah, and ...
2. ... a hundred and ninety-two Revi'is in two Sa'ah.
(d) Rebbi Yehudah says this in spite of his ruling 'Miyn be'Miyno Lo
Bateil' - because fish-juice (which on the one hand is stronger than other
food, on the other hand) is merely a juice whose Isur is only mi'de'Rabbanan
(Tosfos DH 'Sha'ani').
8)
(a) We learned in our Mishnah that one reckons a thigh that is cooked
together with the Gid ha'Nasheh like meat that is cooked together with
turnip. Rav Huna explains 'turnip' to mean - the green of the turnip, or the
top wide end which is sweeter than the pointed end.
(b) This is a Chumra - since more meat is required to be Mevatel the sweet
taste of the head of the turnip than of the pointed end.
(c) We establish our Mishnah not like Rebbi Yishmael b'no shel Rebbi
Yochanan ben Berokah, who holds 'Ein be'Gidin be'Nosen Ta'am'. Consequently,
he will permit a thigh that was cooked together with its Gid ha'Nasheh, once
the Gid has been removed.
9)
(a) When someone went in to ask Rebbi Chanina what to do with a thigh that
had been cooked together with the Gid ha'Nasheh - Rebbi Yehudah bar Zevina
was sitting by the door leading to his room.
(b) When the man came out with a Heter to eat the thigh, he told the man -
to re-enter the room, and repeat the She'eilah (because he ruled like our
Mishnah).
(c) Rebbi Chanina however, instructed the man - to go and tell whoever was
sitting his door (and pestering him) that 'Ein be'Gidin be'Nosen Ta'am'.
(d) Although Rebbi Ami held 'Yesh be'Gidin be'Nosen Ta'am', he remained
silent when Rebbi Yitzchak ben Chaluv permitted the questioner sent to him
by Rebbi Ami, to throw out the Gid and eat the thigh - in deference to Rebbi
Yehoshua ben Levi, in whose name he issued the ruling.
10)
(a) The final ruling in the matter is - 'Ein be'Gidin be'Nosen Ta'am'.
(b) This will not apply however - to the fat of the Gid, which is Nosen
Ta'am (see second Tosfos DH 've'Hilch'sa').
