Nidah 20
***************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.)

The words "Kelipos *ha'Kotzrim*"
should be "Kelipos *ha'Afatzim*" (gallnuts) (RASHASH)

This is a continuation of the previous Dibur
[3] Gemara 20b [line 16]:
The words "l'Asra *d'Rebbi* Yehudah"
should be "l'Asra *d'Rav* Yehudah"
