Shabbos 89

***************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 89a DH ba'Adam b'Sechar [towards the top of the page]:
This should be DH ba'Adam. (The word "b'Sechar" is from Rashi's
explanation.)

[2] Gemara 89b [line 43]:
The words "u'Machavei Lehu Yitzchak, Ha'Kadosh Baruch Hu *b'Einaihu*"
should be "u'Machavei Lehu Yitzchak, Ha'Kadosh Baruch Hu *b'Einei*"
(Dikdukei Sofrim #90)
