1)

(a)The Mishnah equates the liquids of a T'vul-Yom - with liquid of Terumah (see Tos. Yom-Tov) that he touches (which have the Din of a Shelishi).

(b)Besides his spit, urine and tears, this include - the blood of his wounds ...

(c)... and the milk of a woman.

(d)Seeing as they are only a Shelishi, the ramifications of the current ruling are that - they render Kodesh Pasul (but not Tamei [to be Metamei other Kodesh]).

2)

(a)The Tana equate the liquids of other Teme'in (bein Kalin bein Chamurin') - with the liquid that they touch (Rishon).

(b)He means by ...

1. ... Kalin- Sheretz.

2. ... Chamurin - a Zav (see Tos. Yom-Tov).

(c)The exception to this rule is - the Zivus of a Zav and his Ma'yanos

3)

(a)If a T'vul-Yom touches a pot full of liquid, the Mishnah declares the pot - Tahor.

(b)If the liquid is Terumah - it will become Pasul; Chulin - it will remain Tahor.

(c)If his hands are Tamei (incorporating unwashed) - then the pot is Tamei as well ...

(d)... because the liquid becomes a Rishon, rendering the pot, a Sheini.

4)

(a)A T'vul-Yom is more stringent than hands - inasmuch as it is Metamei even in the case of a Safek ...

(b)... where for example - he is not sure whether he touched a Terumah-loaf that is lying in front of him or not (which would be Tahor in the case of Safek Tum'as Yadayim).

5)

(a)The Tana rules with regard to a thick bean-stew of Terumah, which contains garlic and oil of Chulin (See Tos. Yom-Tov), that, if a T'vul-Yom touches the latter - the stew becomes Tamei.

(b)Whereas in the reverse case, where a bean stew of Chulin contains garlic and oil of Terumah, and the T'vul-Yom touches the former - he is only Metamei that what he touches (and the garlic and the oil both remain Tahor) ...

(c)... because the stew is the major ingredient (and the other ingredients, secondary [see Tiferes Yisrael]).

(d)The garlic in the latter case will become Tamei - if it comprises the majority of the stew (see Tos. Yom-Tov).

6)

(a)When R. Yehudah (see Tos. Yom-Tov) says that if the garlic is scattered round the pounder, it is Tahor, he means - that only what the T'vul-Tom touches is Tamei, but not the rest ...

(b)... because, seeing as pounding intrinsically breaks the garlic into separate parts, it cannot be considered joined.

(c)The Mishnah rules ...

1. ... that other pounded (Terumah) foods that one pounds with water, as well as ...

2. ... other pounded (Terumah) foods that one pounds without water (even though water is usually added), and they are now mixed together in a dish - are not considered mixed, and it is only what the T'vul-Yom actually touches that becomes Tamei.

(d)This is how explain the two cases. The Rambam however - has the word 'but', distinguishing between them.

(e)Consequently, what the Mishnah is saying is that - whereas, in the first case, the T'vul-Yom is only Metamei that what he touches (like garlic in the previous case), in the second, they are considered joined, and when the T'vul-Yom touches part of it, he renders Tamei the entire stew.

7)

(a)The Mishnah now discusses a stew containing a cooked pancake (see Tos. Yom-Tov), both Chulin, that is floating in Terumah oil. If a T'vul-Yom touches the oil - the Tana declares only the oil Pasul.

(b)In the event that one mixed them together - then any part of the mixture to which the oil is attached is Pasul, too ...

(c)... since it is impossible to separate the oil from the stew.

8)

(a)Kifah is - a mixture of spices, gravy and meat fat that has melted (in effect, a thick spicy sauce).

(b)The Tana Kama rules, in a case where a T'vul-Yom touches ...

1. ... the Kifah that has crusted on to pieces of Hekdesh meat, that - the pieces of meat remain Tahor.

2. ... the pieces of meat - then the pieces and whatever comes up with them are Pasul (see Tos-Yom-Tov DH 'Sheneihem Chibur ... ').

(c)According to R. Yochanan ben Nuri - either way, both the Kifah and the pieces become Pasul.

(d)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.

9)

(a)The Mishnah rules in a case where legumes ...

1. ... are stuck to a piece of Terumah or Hekdesh bread, and the T'vul-Yom touches one or the other - in exactly the same way as it did in the previous case (where the Tana Kama and R. Yochanan ben Nuri argued).

2. ... have been cooked together with a Terumah-dish that - they are considered joined provided they have actually turned into one piece, but not if they have not.

(b)And if a Sheretz touches one piece in a pot containing a number of such pieces - only that piece becomes Tamei.

(c)According to the Tana Kama, if a T'vul-Yom touches Terumah oil that is floating on top of Terumah wine, he renders Pasul only the oil. R. Yochanan ben Nuri holds - that they are considered joined (and that consequently, both become Pasul.

(d)The Halachah is - like the Tana Kama.

10)

(a)If an open barrel of Terumah wine sinks into a pit of Chulin wine, and a T'vul-Yom touches the wine, the Tana Kama declares the Terumah wine Pasul - provided the T'vul-Yom actually placed his hand inside the barrel (below the surface).

(b)R. Yochanan ben Nuri declares it Pasul - even if his hand did not actually enter the barrel, as long as it is directly above its surface.

(c)The Halachah - is like R. Yochanan ben Nuri.

11)

(a)The Tana Kama rules that if a T'vul-Yom touches wine via a hole in the barrel - all the wine becomes Tamei (see Tos. Yom-Tov), irrespective of where the hole is.

(b)R. Yehudah disagrees. According to him - if the hole is at the top of the barrel or at the bottom, all the wine is Tamei, but if it is at the side, then only what he touches becomes Tamei, and if the Tahor wine is a hundred and one times as much as the wine that he touched - the latter remains Tahor.

(c)He declares all the wine Tamei (Pasul) if the hole is ...

1. ... at the top - because all the wine that is below the point where he touched is a Basis to the wine that he touched (see Tos. Yom-Tov DH 'min ha'Tzedadim ... ').

2. ... at the bottom - because all the wine that is above the point that he touched is destined to flow through the hole at the bottom.

12)

(a)In a case where the T'vul-Yom touches the wine that is being poured from one vessel to another - assuming that the rest of the wine is a hundred and one times more than the wine that he touched, it is Mevateil it (see Tos. Yom-Tov) ...

(b)... because a flow is not considered joined (see Tos. Yom-Tov DH 've'Naga ... ').

13)

(a)The Tana now discusses an earthenware barrel that contains a bubble with one small hole leading to the inside of the barrel, and another leading to the outside (see Tiferes Yisrael 47). In this Halachah, he is referring to Av ha'Tum'ah (see Tos. Yom-Tov) and Ohel ha'Meis.

(b)Assuming that the top of the barrel has a sealed lid, and ...

1. ... the two holes are on the same level - the liquid in the bubble is Tamei, whether it is inside the Ohel ha'Meis or touched by the Av ha'Tum'ah, and the same ruling will apply if ...

2. ... the inner hole is lower than the outer one, whereas if ...

3. ... the outer hole is lower than the inner one - then the liquid in the barrel is Tamei be'Ohel ha'Meis, but not by the Av ha'Tumah ...

(c)... because when the Tahor is higher than the Tamei, what connects them is Nitzok (the flow [through the air]), and we rule that Nitzok and Ketapras (the flow down a slope) does not join the Taharah to the Tum'ah.

(d)In all of the above rulings, it makes no difference whether the bubble is ...

1. ... towards the inside of the barrel or towards the outside, or whether it is ...

2. ... near the top of the barrel or near the bottom.
