Menachos 8
1) "KIDUSH L'CHATZA'IM"
(a) Question: Did R. Elazar (above, 7B, 3:d:3) really say
that blood is not Mekudash l'Chatza'im?!
1. (R. Yochanan): Chavitei Kohen Gadol do not become
Mekudashos l'Chatza'im;
2. (R. Elazar): Since they are l'Chatza'im (half in the
morning, half in the evening), they become Kadosh
l'Chatza'im.
3. If he holds that blood is not Mekudash l'Chatza'im,
he should learn Chavitim from blood!
4. Suggestion: Perhaps he does not learn a matter from
a different matter.
5. Rejection: R. Elazar taught, if Kemitzah was done in
the Heichal, it is Kosher, for we remove the Levonah
from the Lechem ha'Panim in the Heichal, and this
corresponds to Kemitzah.
(b) Answer: R. Elazar learns (the law of) a Minchah from
another Minchah, not from blood.
(c) Question: He does not learn a Minchah from another
Minchah!
1. (Beraisa): If the Lechem ha'Panim was Nifras (became
Chaser) before it (Rashi - the Lechem ha'Panim;
Shitah Mekubetzes - the Levonah) was removed, the
Lechem is Pasul, we do not Maktir the Levonah;
2. If it was Nifras after it was removed, the Lechem is
Pasul, we Maktir the Levonah.
3. (R. Elazar): When it says before (or after) it was
removed, this really means before (or after) the
time came for it to be removed - once the time
comes, it is as if it was removed.
i. We do not equate this to a Minchah that became
Chaser before Kemitzah (it is Pasul, even
though the time came for Kemitzah, it is not as
if Kemitzah was done!)
(d) Answer: The Kometz is different than the Levonah - we
cannot consider it is as if was already taken, for we do
not know which part of the Minchah will become the
Kometz;
1. The Lechem ha'Panim and Levonah are already distinct
(therefore, once the time comes, it is as if it was
removed.)
(e) Question: If so, the Lechem becoming Nifras should be
like Shirei Minchah that became Chaser in between
Kemitzah and Haktarah, we do not Maktir the Kometz!
(f) Answer: Amora'im argue about this, R. Elazar holds like
the opinion that we are Maktir in this case.
(g) (R. Yochanan): Chavitei Kohen Gadol do not become
Mekudashos l'Chatza'im;
(h) (R. Elazar): Since they are l'Chatza'im, they become
Kadosh l'Chatza'im.
(i) (Rav Acha): R. Yochanan learns from
"Minchah...Machatzisah" - the Minchah must be brought
(complete), then it is divided into halves.
(j) Question (against R. Elazar - Beraisa): Chavitim were not
brought in halves - a full Isaron was brought, and
divided into two;
1. (Beraisa): Had it said 'Minchah...Machatzis', this
would teach that half an Isaron should be brought in
the morning and offered, and similarly in the
afternoon;
i. Rather, it says "Machatzisah" - half of *it*
(the complete Minchah, i.e. all of it is here).
(k) Answer: This is l'Chatchilah, but b'Diavad, they become
Kadosh l'Chatza'im.
(l) Question (Rav Gaviha of Bei Kesil): But it says "Chukah"
(which always teaches that something is Me'akev!)
(m) Answer (Rav Ashi): Indeed, he must bring a full Isaron
from his house, but it can be Mekudash l'Chatza'im.
(n) Contradiction: R. Yochanan taught differently
(elsewhere)!
1. (Rav): If one separated half an Isaron and intends
to add more, it is not Kadosh;
2. (R. Yochanan): It is Kadosh.
i. If R. Yochanan holds that Chavitim do not
become Mekudashos l'Chatza'im, he should learn
from them to this case!
3. Suggestion: Perhaps he does not learn a matter from
a different matter.
4. Rejection: The following teaches that he does (learn
about the Heichal from the Azarah)!
5. (R. Yochanan): If Shelamim was slaughtered in the
Heichal, it is Kosher;
i. It says "U'Shchato Pesach Ohel Mo'ed" - the
Tefel (the Azarah, it is valid for slaughter
only because it faces the Heichal) should not
be greater (more Kosher for slaughter) than
what is primary (the Heichal)!
(o) Answer: Intent to add more changes the law.
1. (Beraisa): "Mele'im" - Klei Shares are Mekadesh only
if they hold the complete quantity;
2. R. Yosi says, this is only if he does not intend to
complete the measure - if he intends, every amount
put inside immediately becomes Mekudash.
(p) Question: (Rav said that if one separated half an Isaron
and intends to add more, it is not Kadosh -) what is
Rav's opinion regarding Chavitim l'Chatza'im?
1. If he holds like R. Elazar (they become Mekudash),
he should learn from this, half an Isaron should
also become Kadosh!
2. Suggestion: Perhaps (he does, but) he does not learn
a matter from a different matter.
3. Rejection: He does!
4. (Rav): If a Minchah was brought without oil (even if
it requires oil), it is Kadosh - we learn from
Lechem ha'Panim, which do not contain oil;
i. If a Minchah was brought without Levonah, it is
Kadosh - we learn from Minchas Nesachim, which
has no Levonah;
ii. If it was brought without oil or Levonah, it is
Kadosh - we learn from Minchas Chotei, which
has neither.
(q) Answer: Rav must hold like R. Yochanan (Chavitim do not
become Mekudashos l'Chatza'im.)
2) "MENACHOS" WITHOUT OIL
(a) (Rav): If a Minchah was brought without oil (even if it
requires oil), it is Kadosh - we learn from Lechem
ha'Panim, which do not contain oil;
1. If a Minchah was brought without Levonah, it is
Kadosh - we learn from Minchas Nesachim, which has
no Levonah;
2. If it was brought without oil nor Levonah, it is
Kadosh - we learn from Minchas Chotei, which has
neither.
3. If oil or Levonah was brought by itself, it becomes
Kadosh:
i. Oil becomes Kadosh by itself, as we find
regarding the Log that a Metzora brings;
ii. Levonah becomes Kadosh by itself, as we find
regarding the Levonah of Lechem ha'Panim (it is
removed and offered by itself).
(b) (R. Chanina): If it (should have, but) lacks either oil
or Levonah, it is not Kadosh.
8b---------------------------------------8b
(c) Question: (There was a measure in the Mikdash that held
one Isaron, it was anointed with oil to Mekadesh it.)
According to R. Chanina, why was it Mekudash? This is the
amount of flour for a Minchah, there is no room for oil
or Levonah, therefore it does not Mekadesh!
(d) Answer: It is Mekadesh Minchas Chotei (which does not
require oil or Levonah).
(e) Question: According to R. Chanina, why was the measure of
a Log Mekudash? (He says that oil alone is not Mekudash!)
(f) Answer: It is Mekadesh the oil that a Metzora brings
(alone).
(g) Shmuel holds like Rav:
1. (Mishnah): Klei Lach (Klei Shares that hold liquids)
are Mekadesh (Kodshim) liquids, dry measures are
Mekadesh dry (Kodshim);
2. Klei Lach are not Mekadesh dry, dry measures are not
Mekadesh liquids.
3. (Shmuel): This only applies to (liquid) measures,
but buckets (even though they hold liquids, i.e.
blood) are Mekadesh dry;
i. We learn from the Menachos in the buckets
donated by the Nesi'im - "Shneihem Mele'im
Soles".
(h) Question (Rav Acha mi'Difti): A Minchah (is kneaded with
oil, it) is like a liquid!
(i) Answer #1 (Ravina): Surely, some of the flour was not
kneaded well and is dry - we learn from the dry part.
(j) Answer #2 (Ravina): Compared to blood, a Minchah is
considered dry.
(k) (R. Elazar): If Kemitzah was done in the Heichal, it is
Kosher, for we remove the Levonah from the Lechem
ha'Panim in the Heichal, and this corresponds to
Kemitzah.
(l) Question (R. Yirmeyah - Beraisa): "V'Komatz mi'Sham" -
from where the Zar stands (i.e. in the Azarah, not in the
Heichal);
1. Question (R. Yehudah ben Beseira): What is the
source that if Kemitzah was done with the left hand,
he returns the Kometz, and does Kemitzah again, with
the right hand?
2. Answer: "V'Komatz mi'Sham" - from the place where
Kemitzah was already done.
(m) Answer (R. Yirmeyah - some say, R. Yakov): The verse does
not exclude the Heichal, it comes to include the entire
Azarah;
1. One might have thought, since Minchah is Kodshei
Kodoshim like Olah, Kemitzah must be in the north,
just like slaughter and Kabalah of an Olah must be
in the north.
2. Question: We cannot learn from Olah, for it is Kalil
(totally burned on the Mizbe'ach)!
3. Answer: We would have thought to learn from Chatas.
4. Question: We cannot learn from Chatas, for it atones
for Chayavei Kerisus!
5. Answer: We would have thought to learn from Asham.
6. Question: We cannot learn from Asham, for it has
blood!
7. Answer: We would have thought to learn from the Tzad
ha'Shavah of Olah, Chatas and Asham.
8. Question: We cannot learn from them, for all of them
have blood!
9. Correction: Rather, since it says "V'Hegishah El
ha'Mizbe'ach", and it says "Veherim Mimenu b'Kumtzo"
one might have thought, just like Hagashah is in the
southwest corner, also Kemitzah;
i. "V'Komatz mi'Sham" teaches, this is not so
(n) (R. Yochanan): If Shelamim was slaughtered in the
Heichal, it is Kosher;
1. It says "U'Shchato Pesach Ohel Mo'ed" - the Tefel
should not be greater than the Ikar!
