Mishnah 1
1)
(a)With what does the Mishnah equate the liquids of a T'vul-Yom?
(b)Besides his spit, urine and tears, which other liquid does this include?
(c)Which liquid applies specifically to a woman?
(d)Seeing as they are a Shelishi, what are the ramifications of the current ruling?
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)With what does the Tana equate the liquids of other Teme'in ('bein Kalin bein Chamurin')? What is their status?
(b)What does he mean by ...
1. ... Kalin?
2. ... Chamurin?
(c)What is the exception to this rule?
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
Mishnah 2
3)
(a)If a T'vul-Yom touches a pot full of liquid, what status does the Mishnah ascribe to the pot?
(b)What difference will it make whether the liquid is Terumah or Chulin?
(c)And how will the Din differ if his hands are Tamei?
(d)Why is that?
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)In what way is a T'vul-Yom more stringent than hands?
(b)What is an example of this?
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).
Mishnah 3
5)
(a)What does the Tana say about a bean-stew of Terumah, which contains garlic and oil of Chulin, if a T'vul-Yom touches the latter.
(b)And what does he rule in the reverse case, where a bean stew of Chulin contains garlic and oil of Terumah, and the T'vul-Yom touched the former?
(c)Why the difference?
(d)On what condition will the garlic in the latter case become Tamei?
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)What does R. Yehudah (see Tos. Yom-Tov) mean when he says that if the garlic is scattered round the pounder, it is Tahor? What is it?
(b)What is R. Yehudah's reason?
(c)What does the Mishnah say about ...
1. ... other pounded (Terumah) foods that one pounds with water?
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?
(d)This is how the commentaries who have the text 'or' explain the two cases. What is the Rambam's text?
(e)How does the Rambam now explain the difference between the two cases?
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.
Mishnah 4
7)
(a)The Mishnah now discusses a stew containing a cooked pancake, both Chulin, that is floating in Terumah oil. What does the Tana say if a T'vul-Yom touches the oil?
(b)In which case might also the stew and the pancake become Pasul?
(c)Why is that?
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.
Mishnah 5
8)
(a)What is Kifah?
(b)What does the Tana Kama say about a case where a T'vul-Yom touches ...
1. ... the Kifah that has crusted on to pieces of Hekdesh meat?
2. ... the pieces of meat?
(c)R. Yochanan ben Nuri disagrees. What does he say?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
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)And what does the Mishnah say 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?
2. ... have been cooked together with a Terumah dish? When are they considered joined and when are they not?
(b)And what will be the Din if a Sheretz touches one piece in a pot containing a number of such pieces?
(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. What does R. Yochanan ben Nuri say?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah?
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.
Mishnah 6
10)
(a)If an open barrel of Terumah wine sinks into a pit of Chulin wine, and a T'vul-Yom touches the wine, on what condition does the Tana Kama declare the Terumah wine Pasul?
(b)What does R. Yochanan ben Nuri say?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
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.
Mishnah 7
11)
(a)What does the Tana Kama say about a T'vul-Yom who touches wine via a hole in the barrel? Does it make any difference where the hole is?
(b)R. Yehudah disagrees. What distinction does he draw between whether the hole is at the top of the barrel or at the bottom, or whether it is at the side?
(c)Why does he declare all the wine Tamei (Pasul) if the hole is
1. ... at the bottom?
2. ... at the top?
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)And what is the Din in a case where the T'vul-Yom touches the wine that is being poured from one vessel to another?
(b)Why is that?
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 ... ').
Mishnah 8
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). Which two categories of Tum'ah is he referring to in this Halachah?
(b)What does he say about the liquid in the barrel be'Ohel ha'Meis, or if an Av ha'Tum'ah touches the liquid inside the bubble via the hole on the outside, assuming that the top of the barrel has a sealed lid, and ...
1. ... the two holes are on the same level?
2. ... the inner hole is lower than the outer one?
3. ... the outer hole is lower than the inner one?
(c)What is the reason for the latter ruling?
(d)In all of the above rulings, does it make a difference whether the bubble is ...
1. ... towards the inside of the barrel or towards the outside?
2. ... near the top of the barrel or near the bottom?
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.
