Mishnah 1
1)
(a)The first two of the eighteen T'reifos (See Tosfos Yom Tov) listed by the Mishnah is a hole in the Veshet (the esophagus) and a fractured Gargeres (trachea). What is the minimum size of a hole that renders an animal a T'reifah?
(b)The Veshet actually has two skins; the outer one is red. What color is the inner one?
(c)In that case, what constitutes a hole in the Veshet?
(d)What if the two holes are located in different areas?
1)
(a)The first two of the eighteen T'reifos (See Tosfos Yom Tov [the first two Diburim]) listed by the Mishnah is a hole in the Veshet (the esophagus) and a fractured Gargeres (trachea). The tiniest hole - renders the animal a T'reifah.
(b)The Veshet actually has two skins; the outer one is red, the inner one - white.
(c)A hole in the Veshet - must therefore penetrate both skins ...
(d)... even if the two holes are located in different areas (See Tiferes Yisrael).
2)
(a)The fracture in the Gargeres must include the majority of its width. Does this incorporate the T'nuch (the thickness of its lobe [See Tosfos Yom Tov]) ?
(b)Why does it remain Kasher if the fracture runs along the length of the Gargeres?
(c)How much of the length must remain intact for the animal to be Kasher?
2)
(a)The fracture in the Gargeres must include the majority of its width - not including the T'nuch (the thickness of its lobe [See Tosfos Yom Tov]) .
(b)It remain Kasher if the fracture runs along the length of the Gargeres - because the more the animal stretches its neck, the less the fracture is visible (See also Tiferes Yisrael).
(c)One Chulya at each end must remain intact - for the animal to be Kasher.
3)
(a)The third T'reifus is a hole in the membrane that covers the brain. How many skins does it comprise?
(b)One of them covers the brain directly. Where/How is the other one placed?
(c)Which skin needs to be punctured for the animal to be T'reifah?
(d)What if the bone is still intact?
3)
(a)The third T'reifus listed is a hole in the membrane that covers the brain. In fact - it comprises two skins.
(b)One of them covers the brain directly. The other one - is stuck to the bone of the skull.
(c)The skin that covers the brain needs to be punctured - for the animal to be T'reifah ...
(d)... even if the bone is still intact.
4)
(a)Next on the list is a hole in the heart that goes through to the cavity. The heart actually contains two cavities, a large one on the right, a small one on the left. Which cavity must the hole reach for the animal to be a T'reifah?
(b)What if the K'neh ha'Leiv (the aorta) is punctured?
(c)On what condition does a broken spine (the Chulyos [cartilages]) render the animal T'reifah?
(d)Bearing in mind that the spinal cord is covered by a membrane, what exactly needs to break for the animal to be a T'reifah?
(e)Then why does the Tana mention the Shedrah?
4)
(a)Next on the list is a hole in the heart that goes through to the cavity (See Tosfos Yom Tov). The heart actually contains two cavities, a large one on the right, a small one on the left. If the hole penetrates as far as - either cavity, the animal is a T'reifah.
(b)If the K'neh ha'Leiv (the aorta) is punctured - the animal is also a T'reifah.
(c)A fractured spine (the Chulyos (cartilages) renders the animal T'reifah - only if the spinal cord is broken too.
(d)Bearing in mind that the spinal cord is covered by a membrane - it is the majority of the circumference of that membrane that needs to fracture for the animal to be a T'reifah.
(e)And the Tana only mentions the spine - because the membrane usually fractures as a result of the broken spine.
5)
(a)On what condition is the animal a T'reifah if the liver has been removed?
(b)How many k'Zeisim must remain intact for the animal to be Kasher (See also Tiferes Yisrael)?
(c)One of them must be in the vicinity of the gall-bladder (See Tiferes Yisrael). Where must the other k'Zayis be?
5)
(a)The animal a T'reifah if the liver has been removed - and nothing remains.
(b)For the animal to be Kasher - two k'Zeisim must remain intact ... one of them in the vicinity of the gall-bladder (See Tiferes Yisrael). W
(c)... one of them in the vicinity of the gall-bladder, the other - where it is attached underneath the kidneys (See also Tiferes Yisrael).
6)
(a)The next T'reifah discussed by the Mishnah is a punctured lung. How many thin membranes cover the lung?
(b)What if only one of them has a hole?
(c)On what condition is the animal a T'reifah if both the membranes are holed?
(d)According to Rebbi Shimon, a punctured lung renders the animal a T'reifah, if the hole reaches the Beis ha'Simponos. What is the 'Beis ha'Simponos'?
(e)Like whom is the Halachah?
6)
(a)The next T'reifah discussed by the Mishnah is a punctured lung, which is covered with - two thin membranes.
(b)If only one of them has a hole - the animal is Kasher.
(c)If both the membranes are holed, the animal is a T'reifah - provided air escapes when it is inflated.
(d)According to Rebbi Shimon, a punctured lung renders the animal a T'reifah, if the hole reaches the 'Beis ha'Simponos' - the main bronchial tube.
(e)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.
7)
(a)Which other fault in the lung renders the animal a T'reifah?
(b)The lung has three lobes (Unos) on the right and two on the left, What is the 'Inunisa'?
(c)According to some opinion, which of the lobes, does the Inunisa replace, in the event that one of them is missing?
(d)What if the Inunisa itself is missing?
7)
(a)A part of the lung that is missing - also renders the animal a T'reifah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(b)The lung has three lobes (Unos) on the right and two on the left, The 'Inunisa' - is the small lobe in the middle (known as the intermediate lobe).
(c)According to some opinion, the Inunisa will replace - any of the Unos on the right-hand side that is missing.
(d)If the Inunisa itself is missing - it is evident from the Gemara that the animal is Kasher, since many animals do not have one in the first place.
8)
(a)What is a 'Sircha'?
(b)On what condition does a Sircha on the lung render the animal a T'reifah?
(c)Based on what principle is the animal a T'reifah?
(d)How is the Sircha now formed?
8)
(a)A 'Sircha' is - a lesion.
(b)A Sircha on the lung renders the animal a T'reifah - if it stands to tear apart.
(c)The animal is a T'reifah - due to the principle that 'There is no Sircha without a hole' ...
(d)... via which the various liquids that gather in the lungs escape, to form a membrane round the hole.
9)
(a)When does an animal with a Sircha on its lung remain Kasher?
(b)Why is that?
(c)What is an example of this?
9)
(a)An animal with a Sircha on its lung remains Kasher - if it does not stand to tear apart ...
(b)... because then it will heal.
(c)An example of this is - where one Una is stuck to the Una next to it (in which case they protect each other and they will not tear apart).
10)
(a)The Tana now lists a group of three internal organs that are punctured, the Keivah (the stomach), the Marah (the gall-bladder) and the Dakin (the intestines). How far must the hole in the Keivah penetrate?
(b)At which point does a hole in ...
1. ... the Marah render the animal a T'reifah?
2. ... the Dakin render the animal a T'reifah?
(c)On what condition does a hole in the Hadra de'Kanta (the colon) not render the animal a T'reifah?
10)
(a)The Tana now lists a group of three internal organs that are punctured, the Keivah (the stomach), the Marah (the gall-bladder) and Dakin (the intestines). The hole in the Keivah must penetrate - as far as the cavity.
(b)A hole in ...
1. ... the Marah renders the animal a T'reifah - wherever it is not stopped up by the liver.
2. ... the Dakin renders the animal a T'reifah - wherever they are not stopped by another section of Dakin.
(c)A hole in the Hadra de'Kanta (the colon) does not render the animal a T'reifah - if it penetrates up to another section of the Hadra de'Kanta, because the two parts protect each other (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
11)
(a)The Tana rules that a hole in the inner Keres (the rumen) renders the animal a T'reifah. What is meant by the inner Keres?
(b)What does the Tana Kama say about the outer Keres?
(c)What is the outer Keres?
(d)When does a tear there ...
1. ... render the animal a T'reifah?
2. ... not render the animal a T'reifah?
11)
(a)The Tana rules that a hole in the inner Keres (the rumen) renders the animal a T'reifah. The inner Keres is in fact - the entire Keres.
(b)The Tana Kama declares the animal a T'reifah - if the majority of the outer Keres is torn.
(c)The outer Keres is - the membrane that runs from the chest to the thighs (the abdominal muscles).
(d)A tear there ...
1. ... renders the animal a T'reifah - provided it corresponds to the inner Keres, underneath which it is situated ...
2. ... but not beyond that point.
12)
(a)Rebbi Yehudah differentiates between the outer Keres of a 'Gedolah' and that of a 'Ketanah'. What is the definition of ...
1. ... 'Gedolah'?
2. ... 'Ketanah'?
(b)What does Rebbi Yehudah mean when he says 'ha'Gedolah Tefach'?
(c)How much must tear of a Ketanah to render the animal a T'reifah?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
12)
(a)Rebbi Yehudah differentiates between the outer Keres of ...
1. ... a 'Gedolah' - an ox and that of ...
2. ... a 'Ketanah' - a calf.
(b)When Rebbi Yehudah says 'ha'Gedolah Tefach', he means that - a tear of a Tefach renders the bull a T'reifah (even though it is less than a majority) ...
(c)... whereas the tear of a calf - renders the animal a T'reifah (even if it is less than a Tefach).
(d)The Halachah is like Rebbi Yehudah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
13)
(a)The next two T'reifos on the list are the Hemses (or ha'Meses [See Tosfos Yom Tov]) and the Beis ha'Kosos (two of the animal's four stomachs). Where is the Beis ha'Kosos situated?
(b)How does the food travel from the Beis ha'Kosos to the Hemses (See Tiferes Yisrael)?

(d)On what condition is an animal which has a hole in the Hemses or the Beis ha'Kosos become a T'reifah?
(e)Why is the animal Kasher if the hole is situated where the two meet?
13)
(a)The next two T'reifos on the list are the Hemses (or ha'Meses [See Tosfos Yom Tov]) and the Beis ha'Kosos (the paunch [two of the animal's four stomachs]). The Beis ha'Kosos adjoins the Keres (the first of the animal's stomachs).
(b)The food travels from the Beis ha'Kosos to the Hemses - via a joint hole in the two walls that join them.
(c)From the Hemses, the food travels to the Keivah (the maw [the fourth stomach]), and from the Keivah - to the Dakin (also known as the b'nei Me'ayim).
(d)An animal which has a hole in the Hemses or the Beis ha'Kosos becomes a T'reifah - as long as the hole faces the outside (and can be seen on the outside).
(e)If the hole is situated where the two meet, the animal is Kasher - because the wall of the other one shields it (See Tosfos Yom Tov and Nimukei ha'Geriv).
14)
(a)The next three T'reifos are where the animal falls from the roof, where most of its ribs are fractured and where it is clawed by a wolf (D'rusas ha'Ze'ev). On what condition is an animal that falls from the roof ...
1. ... a Vaday T'reifah and does not even need to be checked?
2. ... Vaday Kasher and does not require examination?

(c)What do they examine? What renders it a T'reifah?
(d)One of the only two limbs that do not require checking is the womb. What is the other?
14)
(a)The next three T'reifos are where the animal falls from the roof, where most of its ribs are fractured and where it is clawed by a wolf (D'rusas ha'Ze'ev). An animal that falls from the roof ...
1. ... is a Vaday T'reifah and does not even need to be checked - if it is Shechted immediately, before it has had a chance to stand up.
2. ... is Vaday Kasher and does not require checking - if it stands up by itself (See Tiferes Yisrael), and walks a distance that is equivalent to its own length (See Tiferes Yisrael).
(b)One of the two cases where the animal requires examination is where it stands but is unable to walk. The other is - where it survives the fall for twenty-four hours without standing up.
(c)They examine - all the limbs in its body, to make sure that they are not shattered on account of the fall (See Tosfos Yom Tov 'Naflah min ha'Gag').
(d)One of the only two limbs that do not require checking is the womb; the other is - the Simanim (the Kaneh and the Veshet).
15)
(a)How many large ribs does an animal have in its rib-cage?
(b)What is the significance of the word 'large'?
(c)For the animal to be T'reifah ...

2. ... whereabouts must they break?
15)
(a)An animal has - twenty-two large ribs in its rib-cage, eleven on either side (See Tiferes Yisrael).
(b)Large ribs - refers to ribs that contain Mo'ach (fluid that flows from the brain down the entire spinal cord).
(c)For the animal to be T'reifah ...
1. ... the minimum number that must fracture is either six on each side or eleven on one side and one on the other.
2. ... they must break - on top (the part that is close to the spinal cord, from which the animal draws life), from which they actually branch out (and not the lower half that is close to the chest).
16)
(a)Why is an animal that has been clawed by a wolf a T'reifah?
(b)With which of its legs must it claw the animal for the animal to be a T'reifah?
(c)On what condition is the animal not a T'reifah even if the wolf did so?
16)
(a)An animal that has been clawed by a wolf is a T'reifah - because the wolf injects it with poison via its claws (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(b)For the animal to be a T'reifah - the wolf must claw it with its forelegs.
(c)Even if it did however - the animal will not be a T'reifah if the wolf did not claw it deliberately.
17)
(a)If the animal is a Safek D'rusah, it must be checked (after it has been Shechted) before it can be declared a 'D'rusah'. Whereabouts must it be checked?
(b)On what condition must even a Vaday D'rusah require checking after it has been Shechted?
(c)What must one look for when checking, before declaring the animal a T'reifah?
(d)On what condition is even a Vaday D'rusah therefore Kasher, even if the location of the D'risah is known?
17)
(a)If the animal is a Safek D'rusah, it must be checked (after it has been Shechted) - in the entire area of the intestines, before it can be declared a 'D'rusah'.
(b)Even a Vaday D'rusah require checking after it has been Shechted - if one is not sure of the location of the clawing.
(c)When checking, one needs to ascertain - that the flesh has turned red in order to declare the animal a T'reifah.
(d)Consequently, even a Vaday D'rusah if Kasher, even if the location of the D'risah is known - if the flesh has not turned red.
18)
(a)Rebbi Yehudah explains that not all animals are subject to D'risas Ze'ev. Which kind of animal is not subject to D'risas ha'Ze'ev?
(b)What does he say about D'risas Ari?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
(d)Why is that?
18)

(b)He concedes however - that it is subject to D'risas Ari.
(c)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Yehudah ...
(d)... because he explains the Tana Kama rather than urgues with him (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
19)
(a)The Mishnah rules that a small bird is rendered a T'reifah through the claws of a Netz (a large one is not [See Tosfos Yom Tov]). What is a 'Netz'?

2. ... a large bird - a chicken or a goose.
(c)The Tana declares - even a large bird that has been clawed by a 'Gas' (a sparrow hawk [or a falcon, according to some commentaries]) a T'reifah.
20)
(a)Which principle does the Tana finally present to ascertain that an animal is a T'reifah?
(b)Besides an animal whose hind legs have been severed, one with a vertebra missing from its spine, one whose skin has been removed and one whose lung has dried up and is hard like wood due to a man-made fright, how many T'reifos, not mentioned in the Mishnah, does it come to include?
20)
(a)The principle the Tana finally presents to ascertain that an animal is a T'reifah is - any defect that an animal sustains with which it cannot normally survive (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(b)Besides an animal whose hind legs have been severed, one with a vertebra missing from its spine, one whose skin has been removed and one whose lung has dried up and is hard like wood, due to a shock caused by human-beings, the principle comes to include seven T'reifos (which will all be discussed in the Sugya).
Mishnah 2
21)
(a)Besides a hole, with which other blemish in the Gargeres does the Mishnah open the list of things that do not render an animal a T'reifah (See Tiferes Yisrael)?

(b)Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel allows - up to the size of an Italian Isar (a coin) to be missing for the Gargeres to still be Kasher.
(c)If there are many small holes that or if there are a number of strips missing from the Gargeres it becomes a T'feifah assuming none of the Gargeres is missing - if the holes or the strips add up to the majority of the Shi'ur of the Gargeres (See Nimukei ha'Geriv), and assuming some of the Gargeres is missing - if they add up to the size of an Italian Isar.
(d)An animal is still Kasher even though it has ...
1. ... a split Gargeres - as long as a little remains intact at both ends.
2. ... a fractured skull - as long as the membrane that surrounds the brain remains intact.
3. ... a hole in the heart - as long as it does penetrate through to the cavity.
22)
(a)And on what condition is the animal still Kasher even though...
1. ... it has a fractured spine?
2. ... its liver has been removed?
3. ... a punctured Hemses and Beis ha'Kosos?
(b)The next two cases which do not render the animal a T'reifah are an animal whose spleen or kidneys have been removed. What will the Din be if ...
1. ... the thick part of the spleen is punctured to within the thickness of a golden Dinar of the other side?
2. ... both kidneys have been removed?
(c)If the Tana holds that a kidney that has shrunk to the size of a large bean on account of illness renders a small animal a T'reifah, to what size must the kidney of a large animal have shrunk, to render the animal a T'reifah?
(d)And on what condition will he consider it a T'reifah if it is full of water?
22)
(a)And the animal is still Kasher even though...
1. ... it has a fractured spine - provided the spinal cord remains intact.
2. ... its liver has been removed - provided a k'Zayis remains.
3. ... its Hemses and Beis ha'Kosos are punctured - provided the hole runs from one to the other.
(b)The next two cases which do not render the animal a T'reifah are an animal whose spleen or kidneys have been removed. If ...
1. ... however, the thick part of the spleen is punctured to within the thickness of a golden Dinar of the other side, the animal is a T'reifah.
2. ... both kidneys have been removed - the animal is nevertheless Kasher.
(c)The Tana holds that a kidney that has shrunk to the size of a large bean on account of illness renders a small animal a T'reifah, whereas in order to render a large animal a T'reifah - the kidney must have shrunk - to the size of a regular size grape.
(d)It will also he considered a T'reifah if it is full of water - which is dirty.
23)
(a)The last two (unanimous) cases are where the Eim is missing and a Charusah bi'Yedei Shamayim. What is ...

(d)If all the skin is intact except for the width of a Sela along the entire length of the spine - the animal is a T'reifah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(e)The Halachah is - like the Chachamim.
Mishnah 3
25)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses the T'reifus of a bird. If, like an animal, a hole in the Veshet renders it a T'reifah, what defect in the Gargeres does so?
(b)On what condition is a bird that has been 'struck on the head' by a weasel (See Tosfos Yom Tov) a T'reifah?
(c)Why is that?
(d)How can one determine whether the K'rum shel Mo'ach has been punctured?
25)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses the T'reifus of a bird (See Tosfos Yom Tov). Like an animal, a hole in the Veshet - and a fracture in the Gargeres render it a T'reifah.
(b)A bird that has been 'struck on the head' by a weasel (See Tosfos Yom Tov) is a T'reifah - provided it is struck in a location that is subject to T'reifus ...
(c)... for fear that the K'rum shel Mo'ach has been punctured.
(d)One can determine whether the K'rum shel Mo'ach has been punctured - by placing one's hand in its mouth and pressing one's finger upwards (to see whether the brain oozes out.
26)
(a)In the previous case, what does the Mishnah mean by 'struck on the head'?
(b)Why can it not mean literally 'struck with its foreleg'?
26)
(a)In the previous case, what the Mishnah means by 'struck on the head' is that - the weasel bit it.
(b)It cannot mean literally 'struck with its foreleg' - because that would fall into category of 'D'risah' (trampled), which extends to other areas of the body and which will be discussed later.
27)
(a)The next two T'reifos are a hole in the Kurk'van or in the intestines. What is a 'Kurk'van'?
(b)On what condition does this render the bird a T'reifah?
(c)And on what condition is a bird a T'reifah if it falls into a fire?
(d)What color does the Tana say they must be for the animal to ...
1. ... be a T'reifah?
2. ... remain Kasher?
27)
(a)The next two T'reifos are a hole in the Kurk'van - the craw (stomach of a bird) or in the intestines.
(b)This renders the bird a T'reifah - provided the stomach and its pouch are both punctured in the same location (See Tosfos Yom Tov).
(c)A bird is a T'reifah if it falls into a fire - provided its insides shrink from the heat and change color.
(d)The Tana says, that for the animal to ...
1. ... be a T'reifah - they must have turned green/yellow.
2. ... remain Kasher - they must still be red.
28)
(a)Once again, the previous ruling cannot be taken literally and needs to be explained. How does the stated distinction affect ...
1. ... the heart, the liver and the stomach in land birds?
2. ... the intestines?
3. ... birds that live in the water?
(b)What principle governs these Halachos?
(c)How large an area needs to be affected for the bird to be a T'reifah
28)
(a)Once again, the previous ruling cannot be taken literally and needs to be explained. The stated distinction refers specifically to ...
1. ... the heart, the liver and the stomach in land birds - which are generally colored red, but as far as ...
2. ... the intestines, which are generally yellow/green are concerned, they will render the bird a T'reifah - if they turn red, and the same will apply to ...
3. ... the heart, the liver and the stomach of birds that live in the water (since they too, are generally yellow/green).
(b)The principle that governs these Halachos is - if the heat causes the color to change, the bird is a T'reifah; otherwise, it remains Kasher.
(c)The area that needs to be affected for the bird to be a T'reifah is - a Mashehu (like the Din of a hole).
29)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about a bird that a man ...
1. ... treads on?
2. ... bangs against the wall?
(b)On what condition will a bird remain Kasher if an animal crushed it and it is still shuddering?
(c)And on what condition is one then permitted to eat it?
29)
(a)The Mishnah rules that a bird that a man ...
1. ... treads on and that he ...
2. ... bangs against the wall - is T'reifah.
(b)A bird remains Kasher if an animal crushed it and it is still shuddering - provided it survives twenty-four hours.
(c)One is then permitted to eat it - after checking it.
Mishnah 4
30)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about a Gargeres of a bird that is punctured or split?
(b)How much must be missing for a hole where part of the Gargeres is missing to render the bird a T'reifah?
