DAF DISCUSSIONS - NEDARIM 66

Avrumi hersh asks:

66b

The gemoro concludes that spitting at the garment of reb shimon b"g is a zilusah. But the gemoro in kesubos in 66a (same daf) concludes that there is no zilusah to spit at garments, and the gemoro there should have been mechalek by reb shimon b"g garment is a chiyuv boshes?

The Kollel replies:

I like this question very much! I can offer different Chilukim, such as that the Gemara in Nedarim is saying it is only a Bizayon, but it is not enough to be considered Boshes. But I have to admit that the Bach (Teshuvos, Yeshanos 109) agrees with you and brings a proof from the Gemara in Nedarim that if someone spits at a Talmid Chacham, he will pay a Kenas, so you were Zocheh to be Mechaven to a great mind!
