Kesuvos 31

KESUOVS 31 (25 Nisan) - dedicated by Sandy and Les Wiesel in memory of Les's father, Menachem Yehuda ben Avigdor Yosef Wiesel, who perished in the Holocaust.

1) [line 1] SHIRA'IN - silk garments

2) [line 7] AKIRAH / HANACHAH (ARBA AMOS BI'RESHUS HA'RABIM)
(a) HOTZA'AH is the last of the thirty-nine Avos Melachos of Shabbos. It involves either 1. transferring objects from a Reshus ha'Yachid to a Reshus ha'Rabim, 2. Hachnasah, which refers to transferring objects from a Reshus ha'Rabim to a Reshus ha'Yachid, 3. Ma'avir Arba Amos b'Reshus ha'Rabim, or carrying an object from one place in Reshus ha'Rabim to another over a distance of at least four Amos, 4. Moshit, which involves *passing* an object from one Reshus ha'Yachid to another through Reshus ha'Rabim (as described in the Mishnah in Shabbos 96a, see Background to Shabbos 4a). These are all biblical prohibitions.
(b) AKIRAH & HANACHAH - In order to transgress the biblical prohibition of Hotza'ah, certain conditions must be met. An Akirah (initiation of movement) and a Hanachah (putting the object to rest) must be performed on the object by the same person. If one person does the Akirah and another does the Hanachah, only a rabbinical prohibition is involved, as the Gemara states in Shabbos 3a.
(c) One transgresses the biblical prohibition of Hotza'ah only if he picked up the object which he moved (Akirah) with the *intention* of placing it down again in another Reshus. If he decides to place it in another Reshus only *after* picking it up, he has not transgressed a biblical prohibition, and hence need not bring a Korban Chatas for atonement.

3) [line 10] GACHIN - he can bend over
4) [line 23] HAYAH MEGARER V'YOTZE - if he was dragging it out
5) [line 27] L'HATZNI'O - to store it
6) [line 27] NIMLACH - he changed his mind
7) [line 29] HA'MEFANEH CHAFATZIM - one who removes articles
8) [line 30] MI'ZAVIS L'ZAVIS - from one corner of the house to another
9) [line 20] SHE'LO HAYESAH AKIRAH MI'SHA'AH RISHONAH L'CHACH - see above 2c
10a) [last line] L'CHATEF - to rearrange the burden on his shoulder
b) [last line] LAFUSH - to rest

31b---------------------------------------31b

11) [line 4] MEHALECH K'OMED DAMI - a person who is walking is Halachically considered as if he stops and stands after each step

12a) [line 8] RAVREVEI - large ones
b) [line 9] ZUTREI - small ones
c) [line 10] MITZ'EI - of medium size

13) [line 15] TZIDEI RESHUS HA'RABIM - an area at the side of Reshus ha'Rabim (which is set off with pegs and large stones stuck into the ground as a barrier so that people and wagons will not rub against the walls at the side of Reshus ha'Rabim) which is used by the public only when Reshus ha'Rabim is congested
