Ask A Question on the daf

Previous daf

1) AFIKOMAN (cont'd)

(a) Mar Zutra learned the above points differently (reversed):

1. We *are* Maftirin after the Matzah.
2. Let our Mishnah be a support (specifies the Pesach).
3. No, it is to be understood as "not only..."
4. Question: The Bereisa implies that the Matzah must be last!?
5. Answer: It is to be understood as "not only..."

(a) [Rava] Matzah today is d'Oreisa and Maror is d'Rabanan.
(b) Question: But both are linked in the Pasuk to the Pesach!?
(c) Answer: Matzah, however, is repeated "BaErev Tochlu Matzos."
(d) [R. Acha b. Yakov] Both are d'Rabanan.
(e) Question: But what of the repetition, "BaErev Tochlu Matzos?"
(f) Answer: It is needed to instruct those who do not eat the Pesach.
(g) Question: Whence will Rava learn their law?
(h) Answer: They can be derived from Arel without a special Pasuk.
(i) Question: Let R. Acha b. Yakov do the same?!
(j) Answer: Arel and Derech Rechoka are both written, and are needed.
(k) A Bereisa supports Rava.

1. The seventh day is singled out to inform us regarding all of the days of Pesach (that Matzah is not obligatory).
2. Might we apply this to the first night, as well?
3. No, there is a special Pasuk obligating Matzah and Maror that night.
4. What of that obligation once there is no Mikdash (and hence no Korban)?
5. The Pasuk "BaErev Tochlu Matzos" sets it as an obligation.

3) MISHNAH: LATE NIGHT AT THE SEDER

(a) Even if some fell asleep, all may continue to eat the Pesach.
(b) If all had fallen asleep, they may not then continue upon waking.
(c) [R. Yosi] If they *dozed* they may continue, but not if they slept.
(d) After Chatzos the Pesach causes Tumas Yadayim (since) Pigul and Nosar cause Tumas Yadayim.

(a) Question: What is the definition of dozing (in R. Yosi's law)?
(b) Answer: Not quite asleep, but not quite awake, he answers when called, he cannot answer logically but recalls when prompted.
(c) Abaye and Rabah applied the Mishnah to their actual situation.

(a) The Mishnah implies that the Korban Pesach becomes Nosar at Chatzos.
(b) Question: Which Tana maintains that position?
(c) Answer: R. Elazar b. Azaryah, in his dispute with R. Akiva:

1. The words BaLayla HaZeh appear both regarding the Mitzvah to eat the Pesach as well as by the plague of the firstborn.
2. These both, then, coincide with Chatzos.
3. [R. Akiva]: The word Chipazon indicates until morning!?

(i) What, then, is the role of Balayla?
(ii) That it is not eaten during the day, unlike Kodeshim

(d) Question: What will R. Akiva do with HaZeh?
(e) Answer: To preclude a different night.

1. We might have thought that Pesach, as Kodeshim Kalim, may be eaten at the analogous time to the Shelamim (which is eaten two days and a night), meaning two nights and a day.
2. Thus HaZeh comes to restrict the Pesach.

(f) Question: How will R. Elazar b. Azaryah learn this law?
(g) Answer: From Lo Sosiru Ad Boker.
(h) Question: What will R. Akiva do with this Pasuk?
(i) Answer: Without HaZeh we would have interpreted Boker as the *second* morning.
(j) Question: How will R. Elazar b. Azaryah respond?
(k) Answer: Every Boker refers to the first possible morning.

(a) [Rava] One who, nowadays, ate Matzah after Chatzos would not be Yotze according to R. Elazar b. Azaryah.
(b) Question: This is obvious (since Pesach and Matzah are linked)!?
(c) Answer: It informs us that Matzah is *still* linked to the Pesach.

1. Matzah had been severed from its obligation, and was subsequently reconnected it.
2. I might not have known that its reconnection links it to Pesach as it was originally.
