BAVA KAMA 67 - Two weeks of study material have been dedicated by Ms. Estanne 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.

1)[line 1]äãø áòéðéäHADAR B'EINEI- the item itself is returned to its owner

2)[line 2]"öìòåú äáéú åäòåáéí...""... V'TZAL'OS HA'BAYIS VEHA'UBIM"- "... and the support-beams of the House, and the roof-beams." (Yechezkel 41:26)

3)[line 2]äîìèèéïHA'MELATETIN- support-beams

4)[line 3]ùéðåé äçåæø ìáøééúåSHINUY HA'CHOZER LI'VERIYASO- a "change" (Shinuy) in an item that is easily reversible.

5)[line 6]öéðåøTZINOR- a pipe or gutter (that was formed by setting a beam in the ground and hewing a channel into it, used for leading rainwater into a Mikvah)

7)[line 7]ùç÷÷åSHE'CHAKAKO- he hollowed it out

8)[line 7]÷áòåKAV'O- he set it [into the ground]

9)[line 8]ôåñì àú äî÷åäPOSEL ES HA'MIKVAH- when such a pipe is used to bring rainwater into a Mikvah, it invalidates the Mikvah. Drawn water is called Mayim She'uvin. Only water that never entered a vessel (non-drawn water) may be used to fill a Mikvah. (Once there are already 40 Se'in of non-drawn water in the Mikvah, drawn water may be added. However, if before there are 40 Se'ah in the Mikvah three Lugim of drawn water fall into it, they render the Mikvah invalid.) A pipe that was first hollowed out and then set into the ground is considered a vessel, and water that it brings to the Mikvah is considered Mayim She'uvin.
