***************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] Mishnah 103a [line 35]:
The words "Mishum Roshem, she'Kach *Kosvin*"
should be "Mishum Roshem, she'Kach *Roshmin*"
This is the Girsa of the Beraisa on Daf 103b, the Yerushalmi and the
Mishnah as quoted by the Rif and the Rosh.

[2] Rashi 103a DH Zeradin:
"*Min* Kanim Hem"
The word "Min" should be spelled with a Yud. There are various editions in
which the Yud does not appear.

[3] Rashi 103a DH Ha 2 Osiyos:
The words "O Teis *mi'Tatnan*"
should be "O Teis *mi'Tatnai*"
("Tatnai" is a name which appears in Ezra 5:3 (Ya'avetz). This is actually
the Girsa in the Soncino edition, as cited in Dikdukei Sofrim #7.
Apparently, this should also be the Girsa in Rashi on Daf 103b DH Ela 2 Osiyos.)

[4] Ein Mishpat on the Mishnah 103a, #8:
The reference is a mistake, since the Rambam's source is not Rebbi Yosi of
our Mishnah - see the Magid Mishnah to Hilchos Shabbos 11:17.

[5] Rashi 103b DH Talmud Lomar Achas [at the beginning of the page]:
The words "b'Makom *Echad*"
should be "b'Makom *Acher*"
(This is already corrected in a number of current editions.)

[6] Rashi 103b DH Ela 2 Osiyos:
The words "mi'Sheshbatzar *mi'Sheshach* she'Shamem"
should be "mi'Sheshbatzar *Sheshach* she'Shamem"
(In the Soncino edition, the word "mi'Sheshach" does not appear at all --
also see above #3)

[7] Rashi 103b DH Achas she'Hi Henah:
The words "*Shegagah* Tuva"
should be "*Shegagei* Tuva"

*31*) [line 27] HA'TZAR - if a person draws a figure on a vessel. (Even those who argue on Rebbi Yosi and exempt Roshem from a Korban agree that one who draws a *complete* figure on a vessel is Chayav for the Melachah of Makeh b'Patish, as the Gemara says on 75b -- see Rambam Shabbos 10:16.)

32a) [line 31] "[NEFESH KI SECHETA BI'SHGAGAH MI'KOL MITZVOS HASHEM ASHER LO SE'ASENAH,] V'ASAH [ME']ACHAS [ME'HENAH]" - "If an individual sins inadvertently by violating any of the negative commandments of Hashem,] and he does any one (lit. *from* any one) of these (lit. *from* these)" (Vayikra 4:2)
b) [line 33] ACHAS ME'ACHAS, HENAH ME'HENAH - the Torah could have written "Achas" ("one") but instead wrote "me'Achas" ("from one"). Similarly, the Torah could have written "Henah" ("these") but instead wrote "me'Henah" ("from these"). We can learn certain laws from these additions. We learn that a person is Chayav for transgressing Achas (one Melachah) or me'Achas (part of an intended Melachah), and Henah (the Avos Melachos themselves) or me'Henah (Toldos, which are derived and come from the Avos)
*c*) [line 33] ACHAS SHE'HI HENAH, HENAH SHE'HI ACHAS - That is, the Beraisa finds six teachings in the verse: (a) the word "Achas," (b) the Mem that precedes it, (c) the fact that it is associated in the verse with the word "Henah" (TOSFOS 70a DH Mai) -- and then the same three inferences, but this time from the word "Henah."

36) [line 39] GAMIN TZADIN - (a) if the top of the Gimel is very thin and the right leg is too wide and does not extend to a point lower than the left leg, the Gimel will look like an upside-down Tzadi Sofis (SEFER HA'TERUMAH, at the end of Hilchos Tefilin); (b) if the top of the Gimel is made very wide and the right leg turns away from the left leg, the Gimel will look like an upside-down Tzadi (RITVA, in the name of his Rebbi) -- see Graphic #6

37) [line 40] TESIN PEIFIN - (a) if the left side of the Tes is detached from the right side, the right side will look like a Pei (RAMBAN); (b) if the right side of the letter is extended too low inside the Tes, the letter will look like a sideways Pei (RISHONIM); (c) if the right side of the letter extends too much to the right inside the Tes, the right side will look like a Pei (MIKDASH ME'AT) -- see Graphic #6

38a) [line 42] PARSHAH PESUCHAH - a paragraph in the Torah which ends with a space that extends to the end of the line
b) [line 42] SETUMAH - a paragraph in the Torah which ends with a nine-letter space that must not extend to the end of the line

______   ______
_   _______   _

40) [line 44] AZKAROS - names of HaSh-m
41) [line 45] B'SHENI - on the 2nd day of Sukkos

42) [line 46] NISUCH HA'MAYIM
One of the observances of the holiday of Sukos in the Beis ha'Mikdash is the Nisuch ha'Mayim (water libation). It is a Halachah l'Moshe mi'Sinai, but the Chachamim found a hint for it in the Torah, as recorded in our Gemara. Three Lugin (approx. 1.5 liter) of water is drawn from the Shilo'ach spring that is located to the south of the Temple Mount and is brought to the Azarah in a joyous procession, to fulfill the Pasuk "u'Sh'avtem Mayim b'Sason ..." ("and you shall draw water with rejoicing ..." - Yeshayah 12:3). The Kohen who is chosen to pour the water ascends the Mizbe'ach and pours the water from a golden Tzelochis (flask) into one of the Sefalim (the silver libation pipes located in the southwest corner of the Mizbe'ach). This takes place each day at the time of the morning Tamid sacrifice, amidst much rejoicing.
