Nidah 6
***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg
and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is
devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara,
Rashi or Tosfos.)
[1] Rashi 6a DH v'Einah Mekulkeles:
The words "v'Einah Monah" are the beginning of a new Dibur
[2] Rashi 6b DH Gafah:
The words "u'Medichah Yadeha" are the beginning of a new Dibur
[3] Rashi 6b DH Kiblah Minei:
The words "*Hachi* Ka'amar"
should be "*d'Hachi* Ka'amar"
************************************************
*1*) [line 3] TANYA KAVASEI D'RAVA - The Gemara is bringing support for the
two statements of Rava, that a woman who sees blood is retroactively
Metamei both vessels with a Tzamid Pesil and Mishkavos
2) [line 6] MEKULKELES L'MINYANAH (PISCHEI NIDAH)
[I] NIDAH AND ZAVAH
(a) By Torah Law, a woman who has her period is a Nidah for a period of
seven days. It makes no difference whether she saw blood only one time or
for the entire seven days. At the end of seven days, after nightfall, she
can immerse in a Mikvah if she has stopped seeing blood, to become Tahor.
(b) The next eleven days are "days of Zivah." If a woman experiences
bleeding during these days for *one or two* consecutive days, she becomes a
Zavah Ketanah and is Tamei. She is prohibited to her husband and makes what
she touches a Rishon l'Tuma'ah. If she does not experience bleeding the
following night (i.e., the second or third night, depending up whether she
bled one or two days), she may immerse in a Mikvah in the morning and she
is Tahor. (However, if she experiences bleeding during the remainder of the
day, she is retroactively Tamei and her Tevilah did not make her Tahor.)
(c) If she has a show of blood for *three* consecutive days, the woman
becomes a Zavah Gedolah and is Tamei. She is prohibited to her husband and
makes what she touches a Rishon l'Tuma'ah. In order for her to become
Tahor, she must count seven "clean days" during which she verifies that she
has no show of blood. On the morning of the seventh clean day she immerses
in a Mikvah and (if she does not experience bleeding during the rest of the
day) she is Tahor to her husband and no longer a Zavah. After nightfall she
may eat Terumah, but she must bring a Korban Zavah on the following day to
permit her to enter the Beis ha'Mikdash or to eat Kodshim.
[III] PESACH BE'TO'AH
(a) The first time a woman becomes Tamei by seeing blood (after the cycle
of 18 days is completed) she starts anew the cycle and becomes a Nidah for
seven days. If a woman sees blood during the 11 days of Zivah, she is a
Zavah Ketanah or Zavah Gedolah.
(b) If a woman has erred (TO'AH) in her count and does not know whether she
saw the blood during the days of Nidah or of Zivah, she must follow the
more stringent of the two courses of action. If she sees blood only after a
period of seven to seventeen days (as the Gemara explains in detail in
Erchin 8a), she knows for sure that she is at the beginning (PESACH) of her
cycle and the next time she sees blood, she is a Nidah and not a Zavah.
3) [line 7] METAM'AH ES BO'ALAH (BO'EL NIDAH)
A man who is Bo'el a Nidah becomes Tamei for seven days and is Metamei what
touches him or what is placed under him to become a Rishon l'Tum'ah, as
stated in Vayikra 15:24. (See Nidah 33a, and chart)
4) [line 26] BI'SHAS AVARASAN MI'LE'ECHOL - when they stop eating Terumah
5) [line 28] LE'SAKEN SHIRAYIM SHE'BEFANEHA - to permit the Terumah that
remains
6) [line 30] K'SHI'UR VESES - immediately
6b---------------------------------------6b
7) [line 11] CHEVRAYA MEDAKAN BI'GLILA - Chaverim (in contrast to Amei
ha'Aretz) in Galil keep their wine and oil on the level of purity that is
kept in the Beis ha'Mikdash (even though it is destroyed)
8) [line 19] TERUMAS LACHMEI TODAH (V'LACHMEI TODAH)
The Todah (thanksgiving-offering) was a form of Shelamim that was eaten for
only one day and one night. The Todah had to be brought together with forty
loaves of bread; ten each of the following:
(a) unleavened loaves mixed with oil;
(b) flat matzos saturated with oil;
(c) (unleavened) loaves made of boiled flour mixed with oil;
(d) loaves of leavened bread.
One loaf of each type of bread would be given to the Kohen who performed
the Zerikah (Vayikra 7:11)
9) [line 21] B'LISHAIHU - while still being kneaded (i.e. before baking)
10) [line 29] GAFAH - seal the barrel with clay
*11*) [line 45] TENAN HASAM, NOLAD LAH SAFEK ... - The reason the Gemara
cites this Mishnah is because it presently believes that Chulin ha'Tevulin
l'Chalah may be equated with Chulin she'Na'asu Al Taharas Terumah. This
will be the basis for asking a contradiction between the previous statement
in the Gemara and the Mishnah that discusses Chalah which is Safek Tamei
12) [line 46] GILGELAH - she kneaded it
13) [line 48] CHULIN HA'TEVULIN L'CHALAH, K'CHALAH DAMU
A dough of Chulin from which there is an obligation to separate Chalah, has
the status of Chalah regarding Tumah
