ME'ILAH 8 (25 Elul) – Dedicated in memory of Yechiel Avraham Avigdor ben Eliyahu Glaser z'l, by his brother Yisrael and family. May Avigdor's children merit to grow in Torah and Yiras Shamayim, and become sources of pride and Nachas to their father in Gan Eden.

ISUREI HANA'AH USED IN MAKING GARMENTS (Yerushalmi Orlah Perek 3 Halachah 2 Daf 18a)

îúðé' äöåáò îìà äñéè á÷ìéôé òøìä åàøâå ááâã åàéï éãåò àé æä äåà øáé îàéø àåîø éãì÷ äáâã

(a)

(Mishnah): If one dyed [thread] a full Sit (as far as one can separate his thumb from his index finger) from peels of Orlah and wove it into a garment, and it is not known which, R. Meir says, the garment must be burned;

åçëîéí àåîøéí éòìä áàçã åîàúéí.

(b)

Chachamim say, it is Batel in 201.

äàåøâ îìà äñéè îöîø äáëåø ááâã éãì÷ äáâã. îùéòø äðæéø åîôèø çîåø áù÷ éãì÷ äù÷.

(c)

If one wove a full Sit of wool of a Bechor into a garment, the garment must be burned; [if he wove] from hair of a Nazir or a Peter Chamor into Sak (sackcloth), the Sak must be burned.

[ãó ìæ òîåã á (òåæ åäãø)] åáîå÷ãùéí î÷ãùéï áëì ùäï:

(d)

[If the wool or hair is] from Kodshim, any amount [forbids, even less than a Sit. Regarding a Bechor, only a Sit forbids, i.e. if it has a Mum (ROSH).]

âî' îàï úðà ñéè øáé îàéø áøí ëøáðéï äåà ñéè äåà ôçåú îñéè.

(e)

(Gemara): Who taught a Sit? It is R. Meir. However, according to Chachamim, a Sit is the same as less than a Sit (in any case it is Batel in 201).

øáé éåñé áé øáé áåï àîø ìä áùí øáé éåçðï øáé éñà áùí ø' éåçðï öîø áëåø ùèøôå áèì áøåá.

(f)

(R. Yosi bei R. Bun citing R. Yochanan, and R. Yosah citing R. Yochanan): Wool of a Bechor that was mixed [with Heter wool] is Batel in a majority.

(àéúéáé') [ö"ì àééúé - ôðé îùä] øáé çééà öéôåøàä ÷åîé øáé àéîé ìéèøà áùîåðä åìà (äåãå àéìåìé) [ö"ì äåøé ìéä - ôðé îùä] ãàîø øáé éñà åìà îúðéúà äéà.

(g)

R. Chiyah Tziporiya brought in front of R. Imi a Litra [of wool of a Bechor, mixed] in eight, and he did not rule for him [to permit,] for R. Yosa said 'does not a Mishnah teach this [that it is not Batel]?'

äàåøâ îìà äñéè îöîø äáëåø ááâã éãì÷ äáâã.

1.

(Mishnah): If one wove a full Sit of wool of a Bechor into a garment, the garment must be burned!'

2.

(R. Imi): Had [R. Yosa asked this to R. Yochanan], perhaps he would have [agreed that] it is a proper [question, and retracted]! (HA'GAON RAV C. KANIEVSKY, SHLITA.)

(h)

Question: A Mishnah teaches 'these are burned...', and a Mishnah teaches 'these are buried (...hair of a Nazir and a Peter Chamor).' Here (our Mishnah) you say that they are burned, and there you say that they are buried!

àîø øáé éåçðï ëàï áù÷ ëàï áùéòø.

(i)

Answer #1 (R. Yochanan): Here [we discuss] Sak (made from the hair), and here (there we discuss) hair.

îä áéï ù÷ îä áéï ùéòø.

1.

Question: What is the difference between Sak and hair?

[ãó ìç òîåã à (òåæ åäãø)] àîø øáé çððéä áøéä ãøáé äìì ù÷ îöåé ìçèè àçøéå ùéòø àéï îöåé ìçèè àçøéå.

2.

Answer (R. Chananyah brei d'R. Hillel): Sak, it is common to excavate (dig and retrieve) it (perhaps someone will benefit from it, therefore we burn it). Hair, it is not common to excavate it. (TOSFOS Bechoros Sof 32b - we are not concerned for hair, because it rots quickly.)

øáé ùîòåï áï ì÷éù àîø ëàï áî÷ãù ëàï áâáåìéï.

(j)

Answer #2 (Reish Lakish): Here [we discuss hair of a Nazir who shaved] in the Mikdash (it is burned), and here (there), outside the Mikdash (it is buried).

øáé éåñé áé øáé çðéðà àåîø ëàï áðæéø èäåø ëàï áðæéø èîà.

(k)

Answer #3 (R. Yosi bei R. Chanina): Here [we discuss hair of] a Nazir Tahor, and here (there), a Nazir Tamei.

åäúðéðï ôèø çîåø àéú ìê îéîø ëàï áî÷ãù ëàï áâáåìéï ëàï áðæéø èäåø ëàï áðæéø èîà.

(l)

Objection (to Answer #2 and Answer #3): Our Mishnah teaches [also] hair of a Peter Chamor. Can you say 'here is in the Mikdash, and here is outside the Mikdash', or 'here a Nazir Tahor, and here, a Nazir Tamei'?!

àìà ëàï áù÷ ëàï áùéòø.

(m)

Conclusion: (We must say like Answer #1.) Here [we discuss] Sak, and here, hair.

àîø øáé éåñé áé øáé áåï äï ãúéîø éùøó ùòøå äï ãúéîø é÷áø âåôå:

(n)

Defense (of Answer #2 and Answer #3 - R. Yosi bei R. Bun): [Reish Lakish and R. Yosi bei R. Chanina did not need to answer regarding Peter Chamor, for] burning applies to the hair, and burial applies to its body. (That Mishnah does not mean hair of a Nazir and of a Peter Chamor, rather, hair of a Nazir and [the body of] a Peter Chamor - R. SHLOMO SIRILIYO.)

åáîå÷ãùéï î÷ãùéï ëì ùäï.

(o)

[If the wool or hair is] from Kodshim, they forbid any amount.

øáé éåñé áùí øáé éåçðï äãà ãúéîø á÷ãùéí ùéù ìäï îúéøéï àáì á÷ãùéí ùàéï ìäï îúéøéï öøéëéï ñéè.

(p)

(R. Yosi citing R. Yochanan): You say so about Kodshim that Yesh Lo Matirin (they can become permitted, e.g. the wool was detached in its lifetime, so it can be redeemed), but Kodshim that Ein Lo Matirin, a Sit is needed [to forbid].

äúéá øáé éåñé åäà îúðé' ôìéâà äàåøâ îìà äñéè îöîø äáëåø ááâã éãì÷ äáâã

(q)

Question (R. Yosi - Mishnah): If one wove a full Sit of wool of a Bechor into a garment, the garment must be burned;

åáëåø ìàå ë÷ãùé' ùéù ìäï îúéøéï äåà.

1.

Is Bechor not like Kodshim she'Yesh Lo Matirin (hair that was detached in its lifetime is permitted after Shechitah)?!

àéú ãúðé ìä áùí øáé îàéø åàéú ãìà úðé ìä áùí øáé îàéø.

(r)

Some teach [the Seifa, a full Sit of wool of a Bechor] in the name of R. Meir, and some do not teach it in the name of R. Meir.

1.

Note: In Mishnah 5, Chachamim taught that six matters are Mekadesh (forbid any amount), and R. Meir said (Halachah 4) that there are 10. He adds a garment dyed with peels of Orlah, bundles of clover (Mishnayos 1,4, and in our Mishnah), a full Sit of wool of a Bechor, and hair of a Nazir or of a Peter Chamor.

[ãó ìç òîåã á (òåæ åäãø)] îàï ãúðé ìä áùí øáé îàéø àéú ìéä òùøä ãáøéí î÷ãùéï. îàï ãìà úðé ìä áùí øáé îàéø îðï àéú ìéä òùøä ãáøéí î÷ãùéï.

(s)

Question: [Granted,] the one who teaches it in the name of R. Meir, he holds that 10 things are Mekadesh. The one who does not teach it in the name of R. Meir - from where does he have 10 things that are Mekadesh? (The Seifa is not among the six things that Chachamim agree to, because it is due to Davar she'Yesh Lo Matirin (R. SHLOMO SIRILIYO), or because they taught only Isurim of Orlah and Kil'ai ha'Kerem (OHR YAKOV). For the same reason, R. Meir should not count it!

1.

Note: The Seifa teaches also Kodshim. Why is this not a seventh matter for Chachamim, or an 11th for R. Meir? Seemingly, all must agree that we do not count Davar she'Yesh Lo Matirin, or what Orlah and Kil'ai ha'Kerem do not apply to! Perhaps Bechor and Kodshim are counted like one, just like hair of a Nazir or of a Peter Chamor count like one. In any case, the question is not so difficult. R. Yochanan and Reish Lakish argued; one said that R. Meir holds that 10 matters are Mekadesh, and one says everything counted. Perhaps the one who does not teach the Seifa in R. Meir's name, he holds that R. Meir says that everything is Mekadesh! (PF)

øáé îàéø ëø' ò÷éáä ãøáé ò÷éáä àîø àó ëëøåú ùì áòì äáéú:

(t)

Answer: R. Meir holds like R. Akiva, for R. Akiva says, even loaves of a Ba'al ha'Bayis [are Mekadesh].
