*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************

We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach and the marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any other important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi and Tosfos.

[1] Gemara 62b [line 32]:

The words "Haloch v'Tafof, she'Hayu Mehalchos" הלוך וטפוף שהיו מהלכות

should be "Haloch v'Tafof Telachnah, she'Hayu Mehalchos" הלוך וטפוף תלכנה שהיו מהלכות (Dikdukei Sofrim #200)

11)[line 25]לילה זמן תפילין הוא/ ושבת זמן תפיליןהואL AILAH ZEMAN TEFILIN HU / SHABBOS ZEMAN TEFILIN HU

(a)Mitzvos which must be performed at a specific time of the day are called Mitzvos Aseh sheha'Zeman Geraman. Some examples are Sukah, Lulav, Shofar, and Tzitzis. Women are exempt from these Mitzvos, with the exception of Kidush on Friday night, Matzah on Pesach night, the Korban Pesach, Hakhel, and Simchah on Pesach, Shavuos, and Sukos.

(b)Since Rebbi Meir rules that Tefilin also should be worn on Shabbos and at night, they do not have the status of a Mitzvas Aseh sheha'Zeman Gerama. In that case, women are obligated to wear Tefilin. The Halachah follows the opinion that they are not worn on Shabbos or at night. Women, therefore, are exempt, as in all cases of Mitzvos Aseh sheha'Zeman Geraman.

12)[line 27]כלאחר ידKEL'ACHAR YAD

Whenever a Melachah of Shabbos is done in an abnormal fashion, the transgressor is not liable to the Torah-prescribed punishment. He is said to have done the Melachah kel'Achar Yad (lit. using the back of the hand).
