***************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 104a [line 42]:
The words "she'Ba'atu b'GI"F"
should be "she'Ba'atu b'Gif"
(The word "Gif" is not an acronym, as is clear from Rashi.
This is also the Girsa in the Warsaw edition and other printings

[2] Gemara 104b [line 26]:
"v'Ein Mevi'in Re'ayah Min ha'Shotim"
At this point there is a section of the Gemara that was deleted by the
censors. Parts of Rashi and a noticeable part of Tosfos DH Ben Setada were
also deleted. In various new editions the missing sections have been added
based upon manuscripts and early printings.

[3] Rashi 104b DH ha'Mesaret:
The words "O *b'Sid*"
should be "O *b'Sira*"

"15) [line 33] "IM LA'LEITZIM ..." - "[HaSh-m] scoffs at the scoffers and gives grace to the humble." (Mishlei 3:34) - since HaSh-m scoffs at the Leitzim, he holds back Divine assistance and does not prevent their spiritual downfall
