*****PEREK #16 HA'ISHAH BASRA*****
1) [line 4] HAYESAH LAH CHAMOS - that is, she has a mother-in-law who is
overseas
2) [line 5] YATZESAH MELE'AH - she (the mother-in-law) was pregnant when she
went overseas
3) [line 6] MAI "HI TZARASAH?" - Why did the Mishnah use the wording, "*Hi*
Tzarasah" ("*that* Tzarah")?
4) [line 11] ROV NASHIM MIS'ABROS V'YOLDOS - that is, most young women become
pregnant and give birth (we can assume that the Tzarah became pregnant
overseas and gave birth there)
5) [line 12] D'CHAYISH L'MI'UTA
Rebbi Meir is of the opinion that we do not follow the majority if there is a
Safek (a doubt), but rather we consider the matter to be still in doubt.
(According to one opinion in TOSFOS, Rebbi Meir only considers it a Safek
mid'Rabanan, for according to the Torah we *can* rely on a Rov - Tosfos
Chulin 12a DH Pesach, 86b DH Semoch. Tosfos to Bechoros 19b DH b'Ruba implies
that Rebbi Meir's law is mid'Oraisa, but it pertains only to a Ruba d'Leisa
Kaman - see Background to Bechoros 19:11b.)
6a) [line 14] RUBA D'ISEI KAMAN
A Ruba d'Isei Kaman is a majority that is present and countable, such as a
majority of the judges of a court. The Torah instructs us to follow such a
majority, as it states "Acharei Rabim le'Hatos" (Shemos 23:2).
b) [line 15] RUBA D'LEISEI KAMAN
A Ruba de'Leisa Kaman is a majority that is not present and countable, but
rather a predictable consequence of natural events (statistics) -- for
instance, the majority of animals give birth within a year of their birth.
7) [line 22] SARIS - an impotent man
8) [line 26] MECHAVARTA - it is clearly correct (as we originally answered)
119b---------------------------------------119b
9a) [line 13] ATAH MATZRICHAH KERUZ L'KEHUNAH - you will necessitate a
proclamation for her that she is permitted to marry Kohanim (since the
Chalitzah that was performed with her may have been unnecessary should her
Tzarah be found to have a viable child)
*10*) [line 36] D'KASAVAR TZARAH ME'IDAH L'CHAVERTAH - that is, the testimony
of a Tzarah is accepted to permit her co-wife to remarry, *if* the testimony
was not specifically intended to affect her co-wife (TOSFOS)
