Ask A Question on the daf

Previous daf

***************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 57a DH ba'Meh Ishah:
The words "l'Chavertah Chashivuso"
should be "l'Chavertah *Machmas* Chashivuso"

[2] Rashi 57a DH Ha Nami Arig Hu:
"*Rubo* u'Makpid Alav"
Perhaps this should read, "*Mi'uto* u'Makpid Alav"

[3] Gemara 57b [line 22]:
The words "Ela Amar *Rav Yehudah* mi'Shmei *d'Abaye*"
should be "Ela Amar *Abaye* mi'Shmei *d'Mar Yehudah*"
(a) This is the Girsa of Ya'avetz, based upon a similar citation in Avodah
Zarah 16b. Since Abaye asked the question of Rav Yosef, he now suggests a
different interpretation. The Girsa "Rav Yehudah" of our Gemaros cannot
refer to Rav Yehudah, the student of Rav and Shmuel, since he lived long
before Abaye.
(b) Hagahos Dikdukei Sofrim #40, citing the manuscript of the Rif, states
that the Girsa should be "Amar *Mar* Yehudah mi'Shmei d'Abaye"

[4] Gemara 57b [line 25]:
The words "*ha'Mukefes* Lah"
should be "*ha'Makefes* Lah"
(This is the Girsa of Rashi and of the Oxford manuscript)

26) [last line] KIL'AYIM
Any mixture prohibited by the Torah is called Kil'ayim (Vayikra 19:19; Devarim 22:9-11.) The Gemara is referring to Kil'ayim of clothes which is a mixture of wool and linen. The Istema is not included in the prohibition against Kil'ayim since it is pressed and not woven. See Insights to Nidah 61:3.

27) [last line] NEGA'IM
The marks of Tzara'as for clothes consist of streaks or spots that are intense green or intense red.

(a) If spots of Tzara'as which are at least a Gris in size appear on a garment, the garment is put into quarantine by a Kohen for a week.

(b) If, after one week, the spots are even bigger than before, the entire garment is burned. (The same applies if the Tzara'as spreads before the end of the week.) If the spots remained the same size, the garment is put into quarantine for yet another week.

(c) If after the second week the Tzara'as has either remained the same or spread, the entire garment is burned. If the spots of Tzara'as remain but have faded somewhat, then only the spots are cut out from the garment and burned and the rest of the garment is Tahor. If Tzara'as returns to the garment after the old Tzara'as has been cut out, the entire garment is burned.

(d) The fact that the Istema is not woven is the reason that it does not become Tamei through Nig'ei Tzara'as. The word Beged (garment) in the laws of Nig'ei Begadim refers to a woven garment, a fact that is learned through a comparison of the word Beged from the laws of Kil'ayim.
