***************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 41b DH Aval Litzaref:
The words "*she'Pinehu* Mimenu he'Chamin"

33) [line 1] DAVAR SHE'EIN MISKAVEN, MUTAR
(a) An act which is done for a certain purpose (which will be accomplished without transgressing a Melachah), but which may result in a Melachah being inadvertently performed, is called a Davar she'Eino Miskavein. Rebbi Yehudah prohibits performing such an action, since it may result in a Melachah. Rebbi Shimon disagrees, claiming that even though a Melachah may result from this action, since the Melachah will come about without intent, the action is permitted.
(b) Rebbi Shimon and Rebbi Yehudah disagree only if it is not clear that a Melachah will be done. If it is inevitable for a Melachah to be done, the act is prohibited even according to Rebbi Shimon -- even though the person doing the Melachah is not the least bit interested in the result that violated the Melachah. Such a situation, in which a Melachah will inevitably be accomplished, is referred to as "Pesik Reisha v'Lo Yamus."
(c) A person must have specific *intent* to do a Melachah on Shabbos in order to be liable for punishment or to be required to bring a Korban. Therefore, after a person pours a large quantity of cold water into an empty metal kettle and the kettle *does* become strengthened, even Rebbi Yehudah will agree that the person is not obligated to bring a Korban, since the strengthening was done accidentally. Rebbi Yehudah and Rebbi Shimon argue only as to whether it is permitted *in the first place* to perform an action that may result in a Melachah. (See Insights to 41:2)

*34*) [line 10] AMAR RAV - That is, the Gemara presently is discussing the case where a person took out all the water from the Meicham, and it presumes that Rav and Shmuel argue as to whether it is permitted to *intentionally* strengthen the Meicham.

35a) [last line] SHI'UR L'HAFSHIR - an amount of water which will be warmed, but will not strengthen the Meicham, i.e. when the Meicham is not filled to the top
b) [last line] SHI'UR L'TZAREF - an amount of water which will strengthen the Meicham, i.e. when the Meicham is filled to the top
