(a)According to Rebbi Akiva, someone who benefits from Hekdesh to the value of a P'rutah without detracting from its value at all, is nevertheless Chayav. What do the Chachamim say?

(b)What is an example of a garment that ...

1. ... spoils immediately?

2. ... does not spoil immediately?

(c)What is the reason for the latter?

(d)Based on this principle, the Chachamim discuss a woman who puts on a Katla or a ring, belonging to Hekdesh or who drinks from a Hekdesh goblet. What is a 'Katla'?

(e)What do they say about ...

1. ... a woman who does any of these things?

2. ... anyone who wears an undershirt or a cloak/coat belonging to Hekdesh or who bangs with a Hekdesh hammer?

1)

(a)According to Rebbi Akiva, someone who benefits from Hekdesh to the value of a P'rutah without detracting from its value at all, is nevertheless Chayav. The Chachamim agree with this only with regard to something that does not spoil immediately - in a case of something that does, one is only Mo'el when one detracts a P'rutah from its initial value (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(b)An example of a garment that ...

1. ... spoils immediately is - an undershirt or a coat.

2. ... does not spoil immediately is - a shirt ...

(c)... since it is exposed neither to the skin nor to things that might rub against it.

(d)Based on this principle, the Chachamim discuss a woman who puts on a 'Katla' - (a golden necklace [See Tosfos Yom Tov] that fits tightly around the neck) or a ring, belonging to Hekdesh or who drinks from a Hekdesh goblet.

(e)They say that ...

1. ... a woman who does any of these things - is Mo'el immediately.

2. ... anyone who wears an undershirt or a cloak/coat belonging to Hekdesh or who bangs with a Hekdesh hammer - is Mo'el only when these articles depreciate by a P'rutah.

2)

(a)The Chachamim obligate someone who tears out some hair from a live Chatas only if he devalues it by a P'rutah. What is the case? What makes the Chatas subject to devaluation?

(b)What will be the Din if the Chatas was not blemished?

(c)And what do they say about someone who benefits from a dead Chatas?

(d)Why is a dead Chatas not considered something that stands to be devalued?

(e)What if it has a blemish?

2)

(a)The Chachamim obligate someone who tears out some hair from a live Chatas only if he devalues the animal by a P'rutah. The case is - that of a blemished Chatas that stands to be redeemed.

(b)If the Chatas is not blemished - one is Patur, since an unblemished Chatas is brought on the Mizbe'ach, irrespective of whether it is worth a little more or a little less.

(c)Whereas someone who benefits from a dead Chatas is Mo'el immediately (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(d)A dead Chatas is not considered something that stands to be devalued, seeing as 'One cannot redeem Kodshim to feed one's animals' ...

(e)... even if it has a blemish.

3)

(a)The Mishnah now discusses someone who benefits from a garment of Hekdesh, say, to the value of half a P'rutah and who spoils it to the value of half a P'rutah. What is the case?

(b)What do the Chachamim say about ...

1. ... this case?

2. ... a case where he benefits from a Hekdesh object that stands to be devalued by a P'rutah without spoiling it, but he spoils another Hekdesh object?

(c)What is an example of the latter?

(d)What do the Chachamim learn from the Gezeirah-Shavah "ve'Chat'ah be'Shegagah" (in Vayikra, in connection with Me'ilah) "ve'Lo Sis'u alav Chet" (in Korach, in connection with Terumah)?

3)

(a)The Mishnah now discusses someone who benefits from a garment of Hekdesh, say, to the value of half a P'rutah and who spoils it to the value of half a P'rutah - by making a small tear in it.

(b)The Chachamim declare ...

1. ... him Patur, as they do in ...

2. ... a case where he benefits from a Hekdesh object that stands to be devalued to the value of a P'rutah without spoiling it, but he spoils another Hekdesh object ...

(c)... where for example, he wears a garment of Hekdesh whilst at the same time he pours out a bit of Hekdesh wine without benefiting from it.

(d)The Chachamim learn from the Gezeirah-Shavah "ve'Chat'ah be'Shegagah" (in Vayikra, in connection with Me'ilah) "ve'Lo Sis'u alav Chet" (in Korach, in connection with Terumah) that - just as someone who eats Terumah benefits from it, whilst simultaneously detracting from its value (See Tosfos Yom Tov), so too, is one Chayav for Me'ilah by Kodshim only under the same dual conditions.

4)

(a)The Mishnah draws a distinction between a Beheimas Kodshim and K'lei Shareis on the one hand, and Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis on the other, with regard to 'Mo'el achar Mo'el'. What does Beheimas Kodshim incorporate?

(b)Why are ...

1. ... other Kodshim not subject to Me'ilah twice?

2. ... a Beheimah and K'lei Shareis subject to Me'ilah achar Me'ilah?

(c)Based on what we just learned, what does the Tana say about two people who, one after the other ...

1. ... ride on a Beheimas Kodshim?

2. ... drink from a K'li Shareis?

3. ... tear out hair from a Chatas?

4)

(a)The Mishnah draws a distinction between a Beheimas Kodshim and K'lei Shareis on the one hand, and Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis on the other, with regard to 'Mo'el achar Mo'el'. Beheimas Kodshim incorporates - Kodshim Temimim that are fit to go on the Mizbe'ach.

(b)The reason that ...

1. ... Kodshei Bedek ha'Bayis are not subject to Me'ilah twice is - because since they are only Kedushas Damim, they are subject to redemption and Me'ilah automatically takes them out of Hekdesh (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

2. ... a Beheimah and K'lei Shareis (See Tosfos Yom Tov) are subject to Me'ilah achar Me'ilah is - because Kedushas ha'Guf is not subject to redemption, in which case they remain Kadosh after they have been used.

(c)Based on what we just learned, the Tana rules that if two people, one after the other ...

1. ... ride on a Beheimas Kodshim ...

2. ... drink from a K'li Shareis or ...

3. ... tear out hair from a Chatas - they are both Mo'el.

5)

(a)Rebbi, who says that whatever cannot be redeemed is subject to Mo'el achar Mo'el, basically agrees with the Tana Kama, and he argues with him with regard to a Kodshim animal that became a Ba'al-Mum and that one then Shechted before redeeming it. Why does he say 'Mo'el achar Mo'el', even though it is no longer Kadosh Kedushas ha'Guf?

(b)What does the Tana Kama say?

(c)What is the basis of their Machlokes?

(d)Like whom is the Halachah?

5)

(a)Rebbi, who says that whatever cannot be redeemed is subject to Mo'el achar Mo'el, basically agrees with the Tana Kama, and he argues with him with regard to a Kodshim animal that became a Ba'al-Mum and that one then Shechted before redeeming it. He rules 'Mo'el achar Mo'el' even though it is no longer Kadosh Kedushas ha'Guf - because he holds that it cannot be redeemed (and therefore has the Din of Kedushas ha'Guf with regard to Me'ilah).

(b)The Tana Kama maintains that - it can be redeemed.

(c)The basis of their Machlokes is - whether Kodshei Mizbe'ach require 'Ha'amadah ve'Ha'arachah in order to be redeemed (Rebbi) or not (the Tana Kama [See Tosfos Yom Tov & Tiferes Yisrael]).

(d)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.

6)

(a)About whom is the Tana speaking when he says that someone who takes a stone or a beam belonging to Hekdesh is not Mo'el?

(b)What is the reason behind the ruling?

(c)Who is Mo'el in the event that Reuven the Gizbar gives it to Shimon and Shimon then uses it?

(d)Why is ...

1. ... Reuven Mo'el?

2. ... Shimon not Mo'el?

6)

(a)When the Tana says that someone who takes a stone or a beam belonging to Hekdesh is not Mo'el, he is speaking about - the Gizbar (the treasurer) of Hekdesh.

(b)The reason behind the ruling is that - since the object was already in his domain (to look after), 'taking it' does not take it out of the domain of Hekdesh (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(c)In the event that Reuven the Gizbar gives it to Shimon, and Shimon then uses it, Reuven is Mo'el ...

(d)Reuven ...

1. ... is Mo'el - since he took the Hekdesh object out of the domain of Hekdesh and placed it in the domain of Chol (See also Tosfos Yom Tov) ...

2. ... Shimon is not Mo'el - because, the moment it entered his domain it was no longer Hekdesh.

7)

(a)At which stage does The Tana rule that if Reuven builds the stone or the beam into his house, he is Mo'el?

(b)Why can he not be speaking where he builds it into the wall?

(c)Then how is he speaking?

(d)What is then an example of 'Neheneh be'Shaveh P'rutah'?

7)

(a)The Tana rules that if Reuven builds the stone or the beam into his house, he is Mo'el - only when he 'lives' underneath it to the value of a P'rutah (Neheneh be'Shaveh P'rutah).

(b)He cannot be speaking where he builds it into the wall - because then he would be Mo'el immediately, since he added to the value of his house (See Tosfos Yom Tov DH 'Ban'ah ... ').

(c)He must therefore be speaking - where he placed it (without cement) in his skylight to keep out the rain ...

(d)... and an example of 'Neheneh be'Shaveh P'rutah' is - where the fruit that is lying underneath the skylight is prevented from getting spoilt by the rain.

8)

(a)In similar vein, if Reuven takes a P'rutah of Hekdesh, he is not Mo'el. What if he gives it to Shimon, who subsequently spends it?

(b)What does the Mishnah say about a case where Reuven gives the P'rutah to the bath-attendant but has not yet bathed?

(c)Why is that?

8)

(a)In similar vein, if Reuven takes a P'rutah of Hekdesh, he is not Mo'el - until he gives it to Shimon, who is not Mo'el, even if he subsequently spends it.

(b)The Mishnah rules that if Reuven gives the P'rutah to the bath-attendant - he is Mo'el, even though he has not yet bathed ...

(c)... since the bathhouse is open to him and there is nothing stopping him from entering and bathing (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

9)

(a)What does the Mishnah say about a case where Reuven eats or benefits from half a P'rutah of Kodesh and feeds Shimon or benefits him to the value of half a P'rutah?

(b)What if he eats half a P'rutah's-worth and benefits Shimon half a P'rutah, or vice-versa?

(c)What is an example of benefiting Shimon?

9)

(a)In a case where Reuven eats or benefits from half a P'rutah of Kodesh and feeds Shimon (See Tiferes Yisrael 33) or benefits him tyo the value of half a P'rutah, the Mishnah rules that - he is Mo'el, and the same will apply ...

(b)... if he eats half a P'rutah's-worth and benefits Shimon half a P'rutah, or vice-versa.

(c)An example of benefiting Shimon is - where he anoints him with Hekdesh oil.

10)

(a)On what condition will the same apply if he eats/benefits one half today and the other half tomorrow?

(b)What is he Chayav in all these cases?

(c)How do we learn this from the words in Vayikra (in connection with the Asham Me'ilos) " ... ki Sim'ol Ma'al"?

10)

(a)The same will apply if he eats/benefits one half today and the other half tomorrow (See Tosfos Yom Tov) - provided he transgresses both times in one He'elam (without remembering in the middle that it is forbidden).

(b)In all these cases, he is Chayav - an Asham Me'ilos.

(c)We learn this from the words in Vayikra (in connection with the Asham Me'ilos) " ... ki Sim'ol Ma'al" - implying that one is Chayav irrespective of the time period over which the Me'ilah takes place.
