MENACHOS 86 (20 Nisan) - Today's Daf has been sponsored by Martin Fogel of Carlsbad, California, in memory of his father, Yaakov ben Shlomo Fogel, on the day of his Yahrzeit.
- Summary of the Daf
- Olive oil produced from unripe olives may not be used for Menachos. There is a disagreement about whether it is valid b'Di'eved.

- If olives were pickled, cooked, or soaked in water, the olive oil which is produced from them is Pasul for Menachos.

- If one is Makdish bad smelling olive oil for a Minchah, or olive oil that was produced from olives which were pickled, cooked, or soaked in water, there is a doubt about whether he is Chayav Malkus.

- Olives are harvested from the tree in three stages. First, the olives on top of the tree are harvested, and then the olives next to the roofs are harvested. Finally, the olives under the roofs are harvested.

- The olives which are harvested at each stage produce three varieties of olive oil. They naturally emit olive oil without pressing. When they are pressed, they produce more olive oil. When they are ground and pressed again, they produce more olive oil.

- There are three disagreements about the process of making the olive oil for the Beis ha'Mikdash: whether the olives are cut for the extraction of the first oil or whether they are ground; whether the olives are placed inside the baskets or along the outside wall of the baskets; and whether the olives are pressed with a beam or with stones.

- The first oil that is extracted from the first batch of olives is the most superior oil. The oil which is extracted form the third batch of olives is the most inferior oil.

- The second oil extracted from the first batch of olives is equal to the first oil extracted from the second batch, but only for Menachos. For the Menorah, only the first oil extracted from the olives is valid.

- The light of the Menorah is for Yisrael and not for Hashem, because Hashem does not need the light. For this reason the Menorah was placed on the opposite side of the Heichal from the Shulchan.
Read More
- A half of a Log of oil was placed in all of the Neros of the Menorah, and the Ner Ma'aravi was lit first and was never extinguished.

- The wine for Nesachim may not be brought from grapes which grew in a field that needs to be fertilized or watered, or from a vineyard where the area between the trees was planted. However, b'Di'eved it is valid.
