PAST DEDICATIONS
 
YOMA 42 - Two weeks of study material have been dedicated by Mrs. Estanne Abraham Fawer to honor the Yahrzeit of her father, Rav Mordechai ben Eliezer Zvi (Rabbi Morton Weiner) Z'L, who passed away on 18 Teves 5760. May the merit of supporting and advancing Dafyomi study -- which was so important to him -- during the weeks of his Yahrzeit serve as an Iluy for his Neshamah.

USES OF RED STRIPS OF WOOL (Yerushalmi Perek 4 Halachah 2 Daf 22a)

[דף כב עמוד א] מתני' קשר לשון של זהורית בראש שעיר המשתלח העמידו כנגד בית שילוחו ולנשחט כנגד בית שחיטתו

(a)

(Mishnah): He tied a strip of red wool on the head of the Se'ir ha'Mishtale'ach. He stood it up opposite [the gate] from which it will be sent, and tied a strip on the goat that will be slaughtered by the place of its Shechitah (its neck).

בא לו אצל פרו שנייה וסמך שתי ידיו עליו ונתודה וכך היה אומר אנא השם עויתי פשעתי חטאתי לפניך אני וביתי ובני אהרן עם קדושיך אנא השם כפר נא לעונות וגו':

(b)

He came to his bull a second time, pressed his two hands on it and confessed. He said as follows - Ana Hash-m - Avisi Pashati Chatasi in front of You, I and my household and Bnei Aharon, your Kodesh nation. Ana Hash-m, please atone for the sins...

גמ' ר' שמואל בר נחמן בשם ר' יונתן ג' לשונות הן של שעיר בסלע ושל מצורע בשקל ושל פרה בב' סלעים

(c)

(Gemara - R. Shmuel bar Nachman citing R. Yonason): There are three strips - of the goat (this strip is later divided into two) weighs a Sela (four Zuz), of a Metzora (it is dipped into the blood of the slaughtered bird, together with cedar and hyssop) weighs a Shekel, and of Parah (it is burned with the Parah Adumah, cedar and hyssop) weighs two Sela'im.

א''ר בא בר זבדא בשם ר''ש בן חלפתא של פרה בב' סלעים ומחצה אית דמפקין לישנא בי' זוזין:

(d)

(R. Ba bar Zavda citing R. Shimon ben Chalifta): That of Parah weighs two and a half Sela'im. Some say "it is 10 Zuz.'' (This is the same amount, just a different expression was used.)
