Pesachim 117

***************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] Rashbam 117a DH Yehoshua v'Chol Yisrael Amruhu:
The words "*v'Asi* l'Meimar d'Chol Hani d'Amran"
should be "*Ha Matzi* l'Meimar d'Chol Hani d'Amran"

[2] Tosfos 117a DH Hachi Garsinan she'Omdim:
The words "Anu Tzrichin Lomar Bo *Haleluy-h* Halelu"
should be "Anu Tzrichin Lomar Bo *Ki Haleluy-h* Halelu" (RASHASH)

[3] Rashbam 117b DH v'Neima Ad Haleluy-h:
The words "Ad *v'Lo Ad* bi'Chlal"
should be "Ad *v'Ad* bi'Chlal *ka'Parich*"
This is the Girsa of the Rashbam manuscript, which contains an additional
Dibur, in which "Ad v'Lo Ad bi'Chlal" is the Dibur ha'Maschil (see Dikdukei Sofrim #300)

[4] Rashbam 117b DH d'Aftarta:
The words "v'Rabeinu *Shelomo* Haya Omer"
should be "v'Rabeinu *ZTZ"L* Haya Omer"
This is the Girsa in the Rashbam manuscript (Dkdukei Sofrim #3)
