YEVAMOS 6, 7, 8, 9 (Chanukah) - dedicated by Uri Wolfson and Naftali Wilk in
honor of Rav Mordechai Rabin of Har Nof, a true beacon of Torah and Chesed.

1) WHAT OVERRIDES SHABBOS?
(a) Answer: No, the parent asked the child to make an animal
work, and the Torah teaches not to heed the parent.
(b) Question: But we hold, an Aseh (a positive Mitzvah)
overrides a Lav (negative Mitzvah) - we should learn from
here that it does not!
(c) Suggestion: If you will say that the prohibitions of
Shabbos are more stringent than regular Lavs - but the
following Tana does not distinguish!
1. (Beraisa): One might think, if a father told his son
to become impure, or not to return a lost object, he
should obey - "A man will fear his parents, and keep
my Shabbosos" - you are all obliged to honor Hash-m.
(d) Answer: Those are different - they are only preparations
for a Mitzvah, not real Mitzvahs.
(e) Answer #2 (To question 2:a Daf 5B): We would have thought
to learn from the building of the Beis ha'Mikdash that a
Mitzvah with Kares is overridden.
(f) (Beraisa): One might think that the building of the Beis
ha'Mikdash overrides Shabbos - "Keep my Shabbosos and
fear my Sanctuary" - you are all obliged to honor me.
(g) Suggestion: We would have thought that building and
destroying are allowed, if not for the verse.
(h) Rejection: No, we would have thought that one could make
an animal work, and the verse teaches that he may not.
(i) Question: But we hold, an Aseh overrides a Lav - we should
learn from here that it does not!
(j) Suggestion: If you will say that the prohibitions of
Shabbos are more stringent than regular Lavs - but the
following Tana does not distinguish!
1. (Beraisa): One might think, if a father told his son
to become impure, or not to return a lost object, he
should obey - "A man will fear his parents, and keep
my Shabbosos" -you are all obliged to honor Hash-m.
(k) Answer: Those are different - they are only preparations
for a Mitzvah, not real Mitzvahs.
(l) Question: But we already learned that preparations for a
Mitzvah do not override Mitzvahs from the verse of
honoring parents (c:1)!
(m) Answer: True; our verse comes to teach the following.
2) FEAR OF THE MIKDASH
(a) (Beraisa): One might think, a person should fear the
Temple - "Keep my Shabbosos and fear my Sanctuary" - it
talks of guarding Shabbos and fearing the Mikdash.
1. Just as one fears the one who commanded to keep
Shabbos, not Shabbos itself - also, one fears the
one who commanded about the Mikdash, not the Mikdash
itself.
6b---------------------------------------6b
(b) Question: What is fear of the Mikdash?
(c) Answer: A person does not enter the Temple mount with his
staff, shoes, a money-belt, nor dust on his feet; he may
not make it a shortcut; all the more so, he may not spit.
(d) One might think, this only applies when the Beis
ha'Mikdash stands - "Keep my Shabbosos and fear my
Sanctuary" - just as keeping Shabbos always applies, so
too fear of the Mikdash.
3) IS SHABBOS OVERRIDDEN?
(a) One would think to learn from burning.
(b) (Beraisa - Tana d'Vei R. Yishmael): "Do not kindle fire
in all your dwellings on Shabbos" - what do we learn from
this?
1. Question: What do we learn?! As a Beraisa teaches,
R. Yosi learns that burning is only a Lav; R. Nasan
learns that one is liable for breaking even 1 labor
of Shabbos!
2. (Clarification - Rava): The Tana asks, what do we
learn from "your dwellings".
i. Since Shabbos is an obligation of people (not
of the land), it applies outside of Eretz
Yisrael as well - why did the Torah need to
write, in all your dwellings?
3. Answer (R. Yishmael): I would think that capital
punishment may be given even on Shabbos; "Those that
desecrate the Shabbos will die" would apply to
labors other than execution by Beis Din;
4. Or, perhaps it applies even to execution, and
capital punishment may only be given on a weekday;
or, perhaps even on Shabbos - the Torah teaches, "Do
not kindle fire in all your dwellings on Shabbos";
5. Another verse says, "... judgment ... in your
dwellings"; just as these dwellings refer to Beis
Din, also the dwellings written by Shabbos, and the
Torah forbids burning.
6. Suggestion: The Tana holds as R. Nasan, who says
that burning teaches that one is liable for a single
labor of Shabbos; and if not for the verse, we would
have said that execution overrides Shabbos!
7. Rejection: No, the Tana is R. Yosi (who says that
burning is only a Lav).
8. Even if it is R. Yosi - he only said that burning is
only a Lav, but execution by burning entails melting
lead!
i. (Rav Sheshes): Melting lead is the same as
cooking dyes (which is a capital offense)!
9. (Rav Simi Bar Ashi): The Tana did not think that
execution overrides Shabbos because an Aseh
overrides a Lav; rather, he had a Kal v'Chomer that
suggested this.
