THE REASON WHY ONE CHALAH HAS A SHI'UR (Yerushalmi Chalah Perek 4 Halachah 4 Daf 26b)

ùì àåø éù ìä ùéòåø ùäåà ãáø úåøä. ùì ëäï àéï ìä [ãó ëæ òîåã à] ùéòåø ùäéà îãáøéäï.

(a)

[Chalah] for fire has a Shi'ur, for it is mid'Oraisa. The one for a Kohen has no Shi'ur, for it is mid'Rabanan.

åéôøéù ìàåø åìà éôøéù ìëäï.

(b)

Question: He should separate for fire (mid'Oraisa), and not for a Kohen!

ùìà éäå àåîøé' øàéðå úøåîä èäåøä ðùøôú.

(c)

Answer: This is lest people say 'we saw Tahor [Chalah, which is like] Terumah (of Eretz Yisrael) burned. (Now that they must separate two Chalos, it is known that it is of Chutz la'Aretz - GRA.)

åéôøéù ìëäï åìà éôøéù ìàåø.

(d)

Question: (In the Seifa, from the river and Amnom and outside, Chalah for fire has no Shi'ur, and for a Kohen has a Shi'ur.) He should separate for a Kohen, and not for fire!

ùìà éäå àåîøéí øàéðå úøåîä èîàä ðàëìú. îúåê ùäåà îôøéù ùúéäï ìëùäåà áà ìëàï äåà ðùàì.

(e)

Answer: This is lest people say 'we saw Tamei Terumah eaten.' Since he separates two Chalos, it is known that it is of Chutz la'Aretz - GRA.)

[ãó îå òîåã à (òåæ åäãø)] åæå åæå îãáøéäï äåà. îåèá ìøáåú áðàëìú åìà ìøáåú áðùøôú:

(f)

Both of these are mid'Rabanan. It is better to increase the one that is eaten (it has a Shi'ur), and not to increase the one that is burned.
