***************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] Gemara 79a [line 3]:
The words "*she'Tzarich* l'Kaimo"
should be "*Tzarich* l'Kaimo" (Dikdukei Sofrim #60)

[2] Rashi 79a DH v'Hacha b'Kosvin:
The words "v'Iy Amras Keivan d'Ra'uy la'Tzur Al Pi Tzeluchiso Hu,
*d'Ba'ei Ahadurei la'Loveh*, Lo Mash'hi"
should be "v'Iy Amras Keivan *d'Ba'ei Ahadurei la'Loveh*, d'Ra'uy la'Tzur
Al Pi Tzeluchiso, Hu Lo Mash'hi" (M. Kornfeld)

[3] Gemara 79b [line 25]:
The words "v'Ha d'Kasvinhu a'Kelaf b'Makom Sei'ar"
should be "v'Ha d'Kasvinhu a'Kelaf *Afilu* b'Makom Sei'ar"
(Dikdukei Sofrim #9. This also to have been the Girsa that Rashi had in the
Gemara. See Chidushim ha'Meyuchasim leha'Ran) ************************************************

(a) A Zav who emits Zov two or three times, whether it is emitted in one day or in two or three consecutive days, is an Av ha'Tum'ah.

(b) He can cause objects that are under him to become Avos ha'Tum'ah whether he touches them or not. The objects become Tamei Midras (lit. an object that is treaded upon), otherwise known as Mishkav or Moshav ha'Zav (or the *Tachton*, of a Zav.) An object may become a Midras if it was made for lying, sitting, or leaning upon.

(c) A cloth must be at least three Etzba'os (finger-breadths) square in order to become a Medras. A cloth that is smaller than this is Tahor due to its insignificance. Earthenware objects (Klei Cheres) cannot become Midras.

(d) A person who touches or carries a Midras is Tamei and is Metamei the clothes he is wearing and other utensils (except for earthenware utensils) that he is touching. He and the items he touches get the status of Rishon l'Tum'ah.

(e) Utensils or clothes which lie above the Zav also get the status of a Rishon l'Tum'ah, whether he touches them or not. These are called the *Elyon* of a Zav.
