(a)The Mishnah lists two exceptions to the rule that all Menachos comprise Matzah. One of them is the Chametz loaves of the Todah. What is the other?
(b)How does the Kohen render the loaves in question Chametz, according to Rebbi Meir?
(c)Why can he not simply add yeast?
1)
(a)The Mishnah lists two exceptions to the rule that all Menachos comprise Matzah. One of them is the Chametz loaves of the Todah (See Tos. Yom Tov); the other - the two loaves on Shavu'os.
(b)According to Rebbi Meir, the Kohen renders Chametz the loaves in question - by taking a little flour from the Isaron, mixing it with water, and returning it to the flour from which he took it.
(c)He cannot simply add yeast - since that would be adding to the Shi'ur Isaron.
2)
(a)What problem does Rebbi Yehudah have with Rebbi Meir's method?
(b)So what does he say?
(c)On what grounds do they query him?
(d)How will the Isaron be ...
1. ... Yeser?
2. ... Chaser?
(e)Like whom is the Halachah?
2)
(a)The problem that Rebbi Yehudah has with Rebbi Meir's method is that - this will not render the Isaron properly Chametz.
(b)He therefore explains that - the Kohen places yeast in the K'li and adds flour to make up the Shi'ur Isaron.
(c)They query him however - since the Shi'ur will then end up either Chaser or Yeser.
(d)The Isaron will be ...
1. ... Yeser - if he makes a thick yeast using little water ...
2. ... Chaser - if he adds a lot of water to make the yeast thin.
(e)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Yehudah.
Mishnah 2
3)
(a)In what sort of water do the Kohanim knead the dough of a Minchah?
(b)What do we learn from the Pasuk...
1. ... in Vayikra "Kol ha'Minchah asher Takrivu la'Hashem Lo Se'aseh Chametz"?
2. ... in Tzav "Lo Se'afeh Chametz, Chelkam"?
(c)What is the Din regarding kneading the Shirayim with honey or frying it in honey?
3)
(a)The Kohanim knead the dough of a Minchah in - warm water (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(b)We learn from the Pasuk...
1. ... in Vayikra "Kol ha'Minchah asher Takrivu la'Hashem Lo Se'aseh Chametz" that - if they allow the dough to become Chametz, they have transgressed a La'av.
2. ... in Tzav "Lo Se'afeh Chametz *Chelkam*" that - the Shirayim too, are subject to the La'av ...
(c)... though kneading the Shirayim with honey or frying it in honey however - is permitted (See Tos. Yom Tov).
4)
(a)How many La'avin does a Kohen transgress if he kneads the dough of a Minchah, arranges it and bakes it when it is Chametz?
(b)How do we learn this from the Pasuk "Lo Se'afeh Chametz"?
(c)He is also Chayav for Kituf. What is 'Kituf'?
(d)Why might we have thought that Kituf is not subject to a La'av?
4)
(a)A Kohen who kneads the dough of a Minchah, arranges it and bakes it when it is Chametz, transgresses - three La'avin.
(b)We learn this from the Pasuk "Lo Se'afeh Chametz" - which is otherwise superfluous, and which teaches us that each independent Ma'aseh (just like baking) is an independent La'av.
(c)He is also Chayav for 'Kituf' - smoothening the surface of the dough with water (See Tos. Yom Tov).
(d)We might have thought that Kituf is not subject to a La'av - since it barely falls under the category of an act.
Mishnah 3

(c)... which is an unspecified Minchas Nedavah ...
(d)... over which one performs the Belilah and the Kemitzah - before it is baked.
6)
(a)The Mishnah now lists the other Menachos that require both oil and Levonah. The first four are Minchas Machavas and Minchas Marcheshes, Chalos and Rekikin. To which category of Minchah do the latter two belong?
(b)How do we learn all of these and the subsequent ones on this list from the fact that the Torah writes "Nefesh" by the Minchas So'les?
6)
(a)The Mishnah now lists the other Menachos that require both oil and Levonah, Minchas Machavas, Minchas Marcheshes, Chalos and Rekikin. The latter two belong to the category of - a Minchas Ma'afeh-Tanur (which comprise either the one or the other).

(b)Another name for Minchas Kohen Mashi'ach is - Minchas Chavitin.
(c)The last three items on this list are Minchas Goyim, Minchas Nashim and Minchas ha'Omer (See Tos. Yom Tov). We know that a Nochri can bring a Minchah - because the Torah writes "Ish Ish", to validate the Korban Nedavah of a Nochri.

(d)What is the reason for the latter ruling?
9)
(a)When the Mishnah says that one is Chayav on oil independently and on Levonah independently, he is referring to - someone who places oil or Levonah into a Minchas Chotei or a Minchas Kena'os (See Tos Yom Tov).
(b)The Tana rules that - whereas someone who adds oil to a Minchas Chotei or a Minchas Kena'os renders it Pasul (See Tos. Yom Tov), if he adds Levonah - one merely needs to skim it off.
(c)He rules that someone who ...
1. ... adds oil to the Shirayim or who ...
2. ... places a vessel containing oil into a vessel containing a Minchas Chotei - has not transgressed a La'av (See Tos. Yom Tov) ...
(d)The reason for the latter ruling is - because the Torah only forbids pouring *oil* into the flour, and not placing a vessel (See Tos. Yom Tov).
