1) MANY SIN-OFFERINGS FOR ONE ACTION
(a) Question: Which Tana holds of Isur Kolel, Isur Mosif and
Isur Bas Achas?
(b) Answer #1(Rav Yehudah): R. Meir.
1. (Beraisa): One can bring 4 sin-offerings and 1
guilt-offering for one eating - a Tamei person that
ate Chelev (forbidden fats) that was leftover (past
the allowed time) from a sacrifice on Yom Kipur;
i. R. Meir says, if it was Shabbos, and he took
the food in his mouth into a public domain he
is also liable for this!
ii. Chachamim: That is not relevant to his
liability for eating.
2. Question: Who is R. Meir going as?
i. Suggestion: If as R. Yehoshua - but he says,
one who mistakenly errs while engaging in a
Mitzvah does not bring a sin-offering!
ii. Rather, he goes as R. Eliezer.
3. Answer: Actually, he can hold as R. Yehoshua.
i. R. Yehoshua exempted someone that circumcised
the wrong child on Shabbos, since he is nervous
to do it in time - in our case, he is not
rushed.
4. Question: But there is no time pressure by Trumah,
and R. Yehoshua exempts!
i. (Mishnah): A man was eating Trumah, and learned
that his mother was divorced or did Chalitzah
(i.e. he is an invalid Kohen). R. Eliezer says
he pays the principle and a fifth; R. Yehoshua
says he is exempt.
5. Answer (Rav Bibi Bar Abaye): The case is, he was
eating Trumah on Erev Pesach, when there is time
pressure.
(c) Answer #2: It suffices to say that our Tana holds of Isur
Bas Achas, as R. Shimon.
1. We understand how the prohibitions of a married
woman, a brother's wife and a wife's sister come
simultaneously - the brothers made a messenger to
engage the girls, they made a messenger to receive
engagement, and both engagements were given
together.
2. Question: How does the prohibition of Nidah come
simultaneous with the other prohibitions?
3. Answer (Rav Amram): They were Nidah when the boys
became 13 (Bar Mitzvah) - this makes the boys'
prohibitions come simultaneously;
4. They were Nidah when the girls became 12 (Bas
Mitzvah) - this makes their prohibitions come
simultaneously.
2) CAN A GIRL GET PREGNANT FROM FIRST RELATIONS?
(a) (Mishnah): We separate them (perhaps they are pregnant)
...
(b) Question: A woman cannot become pregnant from the 1st
time she has relations!
(c) Answer (Rav Nachman): They had relations twice.
(d) Question: But R. Chiya taught, 16 sin-offering are
brought - if they had relations twice, there would be 32!
1. Counter-question: You must admit, according to R.
Eliezer, that says one is liable for each
pleasurable action of relations, they are liable
more than 16!
(e) Answer: Rather, you must say that we are only counting
the sin-offerings brought for the 1st pleasurable act -
similarly, we are only counting for the 1st relations!
34b---------------------------------------34b
(f) Question (Rava): But Tamar became pregnant from her first
act of relations!
(g) Answer (Rav Nachman): She enabled this by removing her
Besulim with her finger.
1. (R. Yitzchak): All girls of Rebbi's house that did
this were called Tamar.
(h) Question: Her 1st relations were not with Yehudah - she
had previously married Er and Onan!
(i) Answer: Er and Onan had abnormal relations with her.
(j) Question (Beraisa - R. Eliezer): All 24 months (of
nursing), her husband spills the seed outside;
1. Chachamim: This is like Er and Onan!
(k) Answer: It is like them in one respect, unlike them in
another.
1. It is like them regarding "He spilled on the
ground";
2. It is unlike them, since they had abnormal
relations, and the Beraisa speaks of normal
relations.
(l) Question: We know that Onan did this from the above verse
- how do we know that Er did so?
(m) Answer (Rav Nachman Bar Yitzchak): "(Hash-m) killed him
also" - he died the same way.
(n) We understand, Onan did this because he knew that the
child would not be considered his (but rather, as his
brother's).
1. Question: Why did Er do this?
2. Answer: Lest she get pregnant and become less
beautiful.
(o) (Beraisa - R. Yehudah): "With her" - to exclude a Kalah
(she does not become T'mei'ah from her first relations);
Chachamim say, to exclude abnormal relations.
1. Suggestion (Hon, Rav Nachman' son): R. Yehudah holds
that the Torah was concerned for a Kalah's make-up
(and decreed that she is Tahor, so she should not
have to go to the Mikveh)!
2. Rejection (Rav Nachman): No, rather because she
cannot become pregnant from first relations.
(p) Question: What is the source of the dispute!
(q) Answer: Chachamim learn - "Semen" - to exclude Ha'arah
(the first stage of relations); "Her" - to exclude
abnormal relations;
1. R. Yehudah learns that both of these are excluded
from "Semen"; "her" excludes a Kalah.
3) BEING UNMARRIED CAN CAUSE STERILITY
(a) (Ravin): A woman that did not have relations for 10 years
after having being married, will not give birth.
(b) (Rav Nachman): But if she planned to remarry, she can
become pregnant.
1. Rava (to his wife): Chachamim are suspicious of you!
2. Rava's wife: I was planning to marry you.
(c) A woman came in front of Rav Yosef. 'I waited 10 years
before remarrying, and gave birth'!
1. Rav Yosef: Do not discredit the sages' words!
2. The woman admitted that she had had relations with a
Nachri in the interim.
(d) Version #1 (Shmuel): All women that had relations must
wait 3 months before marrying someone else (to avoid any
doubt, who fathered her child), except for a minor that
converted or was freed from slavery;
(e) A minor Yisraelis must wait.
(f) Question: After what must the minor wait?
1. Suggestion #1: If she did Mi'un - Shmuel says she
need not wait!
2. Suggestion #2: If she was divorced - Shmuel already
said that she must wait!
i. (Shmuel): If she did Mi'un, she need not wait 3
months; if he gave her a Get, she must wait.
(g) Answer: She must wait after extramarital relations.
