Menachos 60
1) TRANSGRESSING BOTH "LAVIM"
(a) Version #1 - Rashi - (Beraisa) Suggestion: "Lo Yasim
Aleha Shemen v'Lo Yiten" - perhaps liability for both
Lavim (on one Minchah) only applies when two different
Kohanim put the oil and Levonah!
(b) Rejection: "Aleha" - the Lavim are based on (adding to)
the Minchah itself (not the one who puts, therefore, even
one Kohen can be liable twice.)
(c) Version #2 - Tosfos - (Beraisa) Suggestion: "Lo Yasim
Aleha Shemen v'Lo Yiten" - perhaps liability for both
Lavim only applies when there are two Kohanim (i.e.
Menachos, normally a different Kohen offers each
Minchah.)
(d) Rejection: "Aleha" - both Lavim apply to even one
Minchah.
(e) Version #3 - R. Tam - (Beraisa) Suggestion: "Lo Yasim..."
- perhaps liability for both Lavim is when two Kohanim
(or one) put(s) oil and Levonah one after the other!
(f) Rejection: "Aleha" - the Lavim are for putting on the
Minchah itself (as it should be, without oil or Levonah;
alternatively, for putting on a valid Minchah - after the
first was put, it is Pasul.)
2) "HAGASHAH" AND "TENUFAH"
(a) (Mishnah): Some Menachos require Hagashah but not
Tenufah, some require Hagashah and Tenufah, some require
Tenufah but not Hagashah, some do not require either.
(b) The following require Hagashah but not Tenufah:
1. Minchas Soles, Machavas, Marcheshes, Chalos,
Rekikim, Minchas Kohanim, Chavitim, the Minchah of
Nochrim or women, Minchas Chotei;
2. R. Shimon says, Minchas Kohanim and Chavitim do not
require Hagashah, for Kemitzah is not taken;
i. Hagashah is only done on Menachos ha'Nikmatzos.
(c) (Gemara - Rav Papa): Whenever the Mishnah lists the
Menachos, each is baked into 10 loaves (alternatively -
it lists 10 kinds);
1. This is unlike R. Shimon, who says that Ma'afe Tanur
may be brought half Chalos and half Rekikim.
(d) Question: What is the source (that these Menachos require
Hagashah but not Tenufah?)
(e) Answer (Beraisa): (Regarding Minchos Nedavah it says
"V'Heveisa Es ha'Minchah Asher Ya'aseh me'Eleh la'Sh-m
v'Hikrivah El ha'Kohen v'Higishah".) Had it said only
'V'Heveisa Asher Ya'aseh...", we would think that
Hagashah only applies to the Kometz (for only it is
la'Sh-m, i.e. Huktar);
1. Question: What is the source that it applies to the
entire Minchah?
2. Answer: '(V'Heveisa) Minchah'.
3. Question: What is the source to include Minchas
Chotei?
4. Answer: "(V'Heveisa) Es ha'Minchah".
(f) Question: We should not need a verse to teach this!
1. The Torah commands to bring Chovah (Minchas Chotei)
and (how) to bring (Minchas) Nedavah - just as
Nedavah requires Hagashah, also Chovah!
60b---------------------------------------60b
2. Question: We cannot learn from Nedavah, for it has
oil and Levonah, but Minchas Chotei does not!
3. Answer: Minchas Kena'os (of a Sotah) dispels this -
it requires Hagashah, even though it has no oil or
Levonah.
4. Question: We cannot learn from (Minchas) Kena'os,
for it requires Tenufah, but Minchas Chotei does
not!
5. Answer: Nedavah dispels this (it requires Hagashah,
it does not require Tenufah.)
6. Conclusion: Each has its own stringency; the Tzad
ha'Shavah (common side) of them is that Kemitzah is
done, and also Hagashah - also Minchas Chotei is
Nikmetzes, therefore Hagashah should be done.
(g) Answer (and Rejection of (6)): We cannot learn from
Nedavah and Kena'os, for both of them are brought by rich
and poor alike, but only a very poor person brings
Minchas Chotei (others bring a Behemah or birds!)
1. (Since we cannot learn from the Tzad ha'Shavah,) "Es
ha'Minchah" teaches about Minchas Chotei.
(h) R. Shimon says, "V'Heveisa (...v'Higishah)" teaches that
the Omer requires Hagashah, for it says similarly
"*Va'Haveisem* Es Omer Reishis Ketzirchem El ha'Kohen."
(i) We include Kena'os for Hagashah from "V'Hikrivah
(...v'Higishah)", for it says similarly "V'Hikriv Osah
(Minchas Sotah) El ha'Mizbe'ach".
(j) Question: A Kal va'Chomer should teach this!
1. Minchas Chotei does not require Tenufah, yet it
requires Hagashah - Minchas Kena'os requires
Tenufah, all the more so it should require Hagashah!
2. Question: We cannot learn from Minchas Chotei, for
it is of wheat, but Kena'os is of barley!
3. Answer: The Omer dispels this - it requires
Hagashah, even though it is of barley.
4. Question: We cannot learn from the Omer, for it has
oil and Levonah, but Kena'os does not!
5. Answer: Minchas Chotei dispels this (it requires
Hagashah, it does not have oil or Levonah.)
6. Conclusion: Each has its own stringency; the Tzad
ha'Shavah (common side) of them is that Kemitzah is
done, and also Hagashah - also Kena'os is Nikmetzes,
therefore Hagashah should be done.
(k) Answer (and Rejection of (6)): We cannot learn from
Minchas Chotei and the Omer, for both of them must be
Soles (Geres is also Soles), but Kena'os can be from
(mediocre quality) flour!
1. Therefore, we must learn from "V'Hikrivah".
(l) R. Yehudah says, "V'Heveisa (...)" teaches that Kena'os
requires Hagashah - it says (regarding Kena'os) "V'Hevi
Es Korbanah Aleha"
(m) We do not need a verse to teach about the Omer, a Kal
va'Chomer teaches this!
1. Minchas Chotei does not require Tenufah, yet it
requires Hagashah - the Omer requires Tenufah, all
the more so it requires Hagashah!
2. Question: We cannot learn from Minchas Chotei, for
it is of wheat, but the Omer is of barley!
3. Answer: Minchas Kena'os dispels this - it requires
Hagashah, even though it is of barley.
4. Question: We cannot learn from Kena'os, for it
clarifies sin (causes the water to kill a guilty
Sotah!)
5. Answer: Minchas Chotei dispels this (it requires
Hagashah, it does not clarify sin.)
6. Conclusion: Each has its own stringency; the Tzad
ha'Shavah of them is that Kemitzah is done, and also
Hagashah - also the Omer is Nikmetzes, therefore it
requires Hagashah.
(n) Question: R. Shimon uses a verse to teach about the Omer
- how does he challenge the Kal va'Chomer?
(o) Answer: He does not learn the Omer from Minchas Chotei
and Kena'os, for they are (potentially) more frequent
than the Omer (they can occur many times in a year).
(p) R. Yehudah does not consider this to be a challenge - he
considers the Omer to be more frequent, for it is
definitely brought every year.
3) WHY WE DO NOT EXPOUND DIFFERENTLY
(a) (Continuation of Beraisa) Suggestion: (R. Shimon and R.
Yehudah used "V'Heveisa" to teach about the Omer and
Kena'os, respectively -) perhaps "V'Heveisa" rather
teaches that an individual may offer a Nedavah different
than the five listed in the Torah!
1. The Tzibur brings a Chovah from wheat, and also from
barley - we should likewise say that an individual,
who brings Nedavah from wheat, can also bring
Nedavah from barley!
(b) Rejection: "Eleh" - only the Nedavos listed may be
brought.
(c) Suggestion: Perhaps "Eleh" rather teaches that one who
says 'Alai (it is incumbent on me to bring) Minchah' must
bring all five Menachos!
(d) Rejection: It says "*Me*'Eleh" - he may bring as many as
he desires.
(e) R. Shimon says, "Es ha'Minchah" includes other Menachos
(for Hagashah), such as those of Nochrim and women.
(f) Suggestion: Perhaps we include even Shtei ha'Lechem and
Lechem ha'Panim!
(g) Rejection: No, we include the others, for some of them is
Huktar, but Shtei ha'Lechem and Lechem ha'Panim are
totally eaten.
(h) Suggestion: Minchas Nesachim is totally Huktar, perhaps
it requires Hagashah!
(i) Rejection: "V'Hikrivah (...v'Higishah" - it (one of the
five Nedavos) requires Hagashah, but not Minchas
Nesachim.)
(j) Question: He already expounded "V'Hikrivah" (2:i)!
(k) Answer: It could have said "V'Hikriv" - since it says
"V'Hikrivah", we learn two things.
