Nidah 11
***************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 11b DH Dilma Kav'ah:
"shekeshe'Yichlu Yemei Tohar, Hava Lei Veses Esrim"
These words apparently belong above, before the word "ul'Rebbi"
(Aruch la'Ner, Mei Nidah)
************************************************
1) [line 6] KAFTZAH - she jumped
*2*) [line 28] TZERICHAH LIHEYOS BODEKES - The Gemara (11b) explains that
all the Bedikos of the Mishnah were only performed by a woman who often
handled Taharos
3) [line 28] HA'NIDAH -
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 to become Tahor. (The current practice is for a woman
to count seven clean days whenever she sees a drop of blood.)
4) [line 28] HA'YOSHEVES AL DAM TOHAR (YOLEDES: DAM TOHAR)
In Vayikra Perek 12 the Torah discusses the laws of Tum'ah and Taharah of
childbirth. When a woman gives birth, there is a waiting period before she
can go to the Mikdash or eat Kodshim. That period is divided into two
terms:
(a) During the initial term, she has the status of a Nidah (even if she had
not seen any blood). If she gave birth to a male, this term lasts for seven
days. If a female was born, this term last for two weeks. At the end of
this time, she may go the Mikvah.
(b) During the second stage, any blood that she sees does not give her the
status of a Nidah as it normally would. The blood which she sees during
this period is called Dam Tohar. Nevertheless, during this term, she may
not eat Kodshim or enter the Beis ha'Mikdash. This term lasts for
thirty-three days for a male, and sixty-six days for a female. Thus, the
total waiting period for a male is forty days and for a female eighty days.
(c) At the end of the above two terms, the woman may eat Kodshim and enter
the Beis ha'Mikdash after she goes to a Mikvah and brings a Korban Yoledes.
A woman would bring a male sheep as an Olah and a dove or pigeon as a
Chatas. If she could not afford a sheep, she would bring 2 pigeons or 2
doves .
(The current practice is to consider a woman a Nidah even during the period
of Dam Tohar.)
6) [line 30] PA'AMAYIM - twice
7) [line 30] SHE'HI OVERES - she prepares herself (Bartenura)
*8*) [line 31] SHE'HEN OCHLOS BI'TERUMAH - The same Bedikah would
apparently be done by a non-Kohenes who was eating Kodshim Kalim. From the
Mishnah it appears that Chazal required a Bedikah only before *eating*
Terumah, since it is punishable with Malkus; before *touching* Terumah or
Kodshim it was not necessary to do a Bedikah (Mishnah Acharonah, in his
first explanation)
9) [line 32] BI'SHAS AVARASAN MI'LE'ECHOL BI'TERUMAH - when they stop
eating Terumah
11) [line 34] YEMEI ZIVASAH (ZAVAH: YEMEI ZIVAH)
By Torah Law, a woman who has her period is a Nidah for a period of seven
days. 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 for that day and her Tevilah did not make
her Tahor.)
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.
12a) [line 37] MA'AYAN SASUM - when she had not been menstruating
previously
b) [line 37] MA'AYAN PASU'ACH - when she had been menstruating previously
13) [line 38] MEVAKESHES LEI'SHEV AL DAM TOHAR - the day preceding the days
of Yemei Tohar
11b---------------------------------------11b
14) [line 2] STAM V'ACHAR KACH MACHLOKES
When an anonymous Mishnah is followed by a Mishnah with conflicting
opinions, the Halachah is not like the anonymous Mishnah
15) [line 15] SHE'LO PASKAH MACHMAS TASHMISH - she did not have Tashmish
without seeing blood
16) [line 10] ACHARAN - clouded them, distorted them
