***************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] Tosfos 9b DH Leima [at the end]:
The words "*ked'Piresh* b'Masnisin"
should be "*ked'Perishis* b'Masnisin"

[2] Tosfos 9b DH Ha [in the Dibur ha'Maschil]:
The words "Ha Lan Ha *Lav*"
should be "Ha Lan Ha *Lahu*"

1) [line 4] LECHI

(a) A Lechi is a pole or plank that is at least ten Tefachim high. It is placed at the entrance to a Mavoy (alley), to serve as a Heker (reminder) to the people who live in the Mavoy so that they do not transfer objects from the Mavoy to the adjacent Reshus ha'Rabim.

(b) Chazal prohibited carrying objects within a Mavoy, even if it has three walls (and is therefore a Reshus ha'Yachid), and only the fourth side is open to Reshus ha'Rabim. Their concern was that people may mistake it for a Reshus ha'Rabim. With the Lechi, which serves to distinguish the Mavoy from Reshus ha'Rabim, in conjunction with a Shituf (see Background to 6b, #11b), Chazal permit carrying within the Mavoy.

(c) Another method for the rectification of a Mavoy is Korah (a beam, one Tefach thick). The Korah was placed horizontally across the top of the entrance to the Mavoy. The Halachic difference between Lechi and Korah is that when a courtyard is equipped with a Lechi, carrying is permitted from the *inner* edge of the Lechi inward. With a Korah, carrying is permitted from the *outer* edge of the Korah inward. The Lechi serves only as a Heker, and not a Mechitzah. The Korah, however, serves as either a Heker *or* a Mechitzah, and the area is considered enclosed by the edge of the Korah, which is considered to be Yored v'Sosem (descend and enclose) (RASHI DH Hacha b'Iskufas, at the end)

2) [line 1] SAPAR - barber
3) [line 3] BURSEKI - a tannery, where leather is made

In the Beis ha'Mikdash, Minchah Gedolah corresponds to the beginning of the time that the Tamid Shel Bein ha'Arbayim (daily afternoon sacrifice) could be offered
b) [line 7] MINCHAH KETANAH - the end of the day, before the sun begins to set. Minchah Ketanah begins at nine and one half Sha'os Zemaniyos (Halachic hours - a Sha'ah Zemanis is the amount of time between sunrise and sunset divided by 12) of the day

6) [line 12] L'OLAM SAMUCH L'MINCHAH GEDOLAH - That is, Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi's law was stated concerning Minchah Ketanah, while our Mishnah, which is more lenient, is discussing Minchah Gedolah.

7) [line 12] TISPORES BEN ELASHAH - That is, a haircut so short that the hair is only long enough to make the person not look completely bald, but not any longer - see RAN in Nedarim 51a
