*********************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 and Rashi.

[1] Rashi 64a DH Tiyuvta d'Rav ד"ה תיובתא דרב:

The words "Ne'esar 15 v'16" נאסר ט"ו וי"ו

should be "Ne'esar 15 v'17" נאסר ט"ו וי"ז

[2] Rashi DH Lemudah Shani ד"ה למודה שאני:

The words "d'Re'iyas 15 she'Hayesah" דראיית ט"ו שהיתה

should be "d'Re'iyas 15 Hayesah" דראיית ט"ו היתה

[3] Mishnah 64b [at the end]:

The words "Kol ha'Lailah Kulah" כל הלילה כולה

should be "Kol ha'Lailah Shelah" כל הלילה שלה (This is the Girsa in Rashi (68b DH Ki), the Rosh and the Beraisa on Daf 65a)

1)[line 3]וסת לדילוגVESES L'DILUG- see Background to Nidah 63:16

2)[line 4]עד שתשלש בדילוגAD SHE'TESHALESH B'DILUG- until she experiences bleeding after three consecutive incremental intervals (i.e. this Veses is fixed when she experiences bleeding four times)

3)[line 6]לשלישי לא תנשאL'SHELISHI LO SINASEI (CHAZAKAH: KATLANIS)

(a)Rebbi is of the opinion that after an event occurs two times, we can presume that it will happen again under the same conditions until there is evidence of a change. Raban Shimon Ben Gamliel argues and maintains that we make this presumption only after the event occurs three times. According to Rebbi, if a woman was widowed two times, she may not remarry, since we presume that her third husband will also die. She is known as a "Katlanis," literally, "a killer."

(b)The Amora'im argue (Yevamos 64b) as to the reason why the husbands of a Katlanis die. Rav Huna is of the opinion that "Ma'ayan Gorem" (lit. her "wellspring is the cause"), i.e. a woman's Nidah flow is a physical factor causing her husbands to die. Rav Ashi is of the opinion that "Mazla Gorem," a woman's inauspicious Mazal (fate) causes her husbands to die. A ramification of this argument is when one of the husbands dies due to a fall, for example. Only according to the opinion of Mazla Gorem can we attribute his death to his wife.

4)[line 17]ודקארי לה, מאי קארי לה?UD'KA'ARI LAH, MAI KA'ARI LAH?- And the one who asked this question, why did he ask it (since the answer is obvious)?

PEREK #10 HA'TINOKES

11)[line 10]תינוקתTINOKES (KETANAH / NA'ARAH / BOGERES)

(a)A girl is a Ketanah (minor) until two pubic hairs grow after she enters her twelfth year. During the following six months she is a Na'arah (maidenhood). When six months elapse she becomes a Bogeres (adult).

(b)"Zemanah Lir'os" is the individual time at which a girl begins to experience bleeding on a regular basis. It may occur when she is a Ketanah, Na'arah or Bogeres, but for most women it occurs at the age of Na'arus (RASHI to Kesuvos 6a).

12)[line 10]שלא הגיע זמנה לראותSHE'LO HIGI'A ZEMANAH LIR'OS- who has not reached the age of menstruation

21)[line 39]אע''פ שמשיר צרורותV'AF AL PI SHE'MASHIR TZEROROS- and even though he makes pebbles fall down, i.e. he removes the Besulim

22)[line 43]רב גובריהRAV GUVREI- (lit. since his strength is great) his skill (physiological knowledge) is great
