(a)What do we learn from the Pasuk in Kedoshim (in connection with Orlah) ...
1. ... "va'Araltem Orlaso"?
2. ... "es Piryo"?
(b)What does one therefore do with a garment that has been dyed with the peels of Orlah?
(c)Is one permitted to benefit from it whilst it is being burned?
1)
(a)We learn from the Pasuk in Kedoshim (in connection with Orlah) ...
1. ... "va'Araltem Orlaso" - that Orlah is Asur be'Hana'ah (even dyeing with them [see Tos. Yom-Tov and Tiferes Yisrael]).
2. ... "es Piryo" - that the Isur Orlah extends even to parts of the fruit that are not edible, such as the peels.
(b)Consequently, a garment that has been dyed with the peels of Orlah - must be burned (see Tos. R. Akiva Eiger) ...
(c)... without deriving any benefit from it (as it burns [see Tos. Yom-Tov]).
2)
(a)If such a garment becomes mixed up with other garments, R. Meir requires them all to be burned. Why does it not become Bateil?
(b)What do the Chachamim say?
(c)Like whom is the Halachah?
2)
(a)If such a garment became mixed up with other garments, R. Meir requires them all to be burned (see Tiferes Yisrael) - because he holds that anything that one tends to count independently (when sold) cannot become Bateil.
(b)According to the Chachamim - it becomes Bateil in two hundred (because in their opinion, there are only six things that are not subject to Bitul, as we shall see shortly).
(c)The Halachah is - like the Chachamim.
Mishnah 2
3)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about a thread that has been dyed with peels of Orlah. What size thread is the Tana talking about?
(b)What does Rebbi Meir say about a garment that contains such a thread which one is unable to identify?
(c)What do the Chachamim say?
3)
(a)The Mishnah declares a thread that has been dyed with peels of Orlah Asur - if it is the size of M'lo ha'Sit (the space between one's extended fore-finger and middle-finger [see Tiferes Yisrael]).
(b)Rebbi Meir declares a garment that contains such a thread which one is unable to identify - Asur ...
(c)... whereas the Chachamim - rule that it is Bateil in two hundred (as we learned in the previous Mishnah [see Tiferes Yisrael]).
Mishnah 3
4)
(a)What is the Din regarding ...
1. ... the wool of a B'chor Behemah?
2. ... an unidentifiable thread of the wool of a B'chor that is woven into a garment?
(b)How do we reconcile this with the Seifa 'u've'Mukdashin Mekadshin Kol Shehen'?
4)
(a)
1. The wool of a Bechor Beheimah - is forbidden (from the Pasuk in Re'ei "ve'Lo Sagoz BechorTzonecha").
2. An thread unidentifiable (M'lo ha'Sit) woven from the wool of a Bechor - is Asur (as we just learned in connection with Orlah [see Tos. Yom-Tov and Tiferes Yisrael]).
(b)We reconcile this with the Seifa 'u've'Mekadshin Kol Shehen' - by establishing the Seifa by a Bechor Tam (one that has not been redeemed [see Tos. Yom-Tov]) and the Reisha, by one that has been redeemed.
5)
(a)What do the hair of a Nazir and a donkey of Peter Chamor (after its neck has been broken) have in common?
(b)What do we learn from ...
1. ... the Pasuk in Naso "Kadosh Yih'yeh Gadeil Pera"?
2. ... the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' 'Arifah' 'Arifah' (from Eglah Arufah)?
(c)What does the Mishnah say about one of them that is woven into a sack in a way that the Asur thread is unidentifiable?
5)
(a)The hair of a Nazir and a donkey of Peter Chamor (after its neck has been broken [see Tos. Yom-Tov]) - are both Asur be'Hana'ah.
(b)We learn from ...
1. ... the Pasuk in Naso "Kadosh Yih'yeh Gadeil Pera" - that the hair of a Nazir is Asur be'Hana'ah.
2. ... the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' 'Arifah' 'Arifah' (from Eglah Arufah) - that a Peter Chamor (after its neck is broken) is Asur be'Hana'ah, too.
(c)The Mishnah rules that if one of them is woven into a sack in a way that the Asur thread is unidentifiable - the sack is Asur.
Mishnah 4
6)
(a)What happens to a dish that is cooked with peels of Orlah fruit?
(b)On what principle is this ruling based?
(c)What happens if the dish becomes mixed with others of the same kind?
(d)What will R. Meir (who argued with the Chachamim with regard to a garment under similar circumstances) hold in this case?
6)
(a)A dish that is cooked with peels of Orlah fruit - must be burned ...
(b)... due to the principle 'Yesh Sh'vach Etzim be'Tavshil or be'Pas' (see Tos. yom-Tov and Tiferes Yisrael).
(c)If the dish became mixed with others of the same kind - it becomes Bateil in two hundred ...
(d)... even according to R. Meir, who argued with the Chachamim with regard to a garment under similar circumstances, because a dish is not among the ten things that do not become Bateil in his opinion.
Mishnah 5
7)
(a)What happens to bread that is baked with peels of Orlah fruit?
7)
(a)Bread that is baked with peels of Orlah fruit has the same status as a dish cooked with the peels of Orlah fruit.
Mishnah 6
8)
(a)The Mishnah obligates someone who has bundles of Tilsan (fenugreek) of K'lai ha'Kerem to burn them. What constitutes a bundle (Chavilah)?
(b)Should a bundles becomes mixed with other bundles, R. Meir requires them all to be burned irrespective of how many bundles of Heter there are. Why can one not sell them all to a Nochri, deducting the cost of the one Asur barrel (like Raban Shimon ben Gamliel says with regard to barrels of Yayin Nesech)?
(c)What do the Chachamim say?
8)
(a)The Mishnah obligates someone who has bundles of Tilsan (fenugreek) of K'lai ha'Kerem to burn them. A bundle (Chavilah) comprises - twenty-five pieces.
(b)Should a bundle becomes mixed with other bundles, R. Meir requires them all to be burned irrespective of how many bundles of Heter there are. One cannot sell them all to a Nochri, deducting the cost of the one Asur barrel (like Raban Shimon ben Gamliel says with regard to barrels of Yayin Nesech) - for fear that the Nochri will re-sell them to a Yisrael (which he cannot do by Yayin Nesech [see also Tos. Yom-Tov and Tos. R. Akiva Eiger]).
(c)According to the Chachamim - the bundle will become Bateil in two hundred.
9)
(a)What will be the Din if one of these bundles falls into another batch of bundles?
(b)How will we reconcile this with the text that reads 'va'Acheiros ba'Acheiros'?
9)
(a)If one of these bundles falls into another batch of bundles - it becomes Bateil (because it is a S'fek S'feika [see Tiferes Yisrael]).
(b)We will then reconcile this with the text that reads 'va'Acheiros ba'Acheiros' - by establishing it when all the bundles fell into the second batch (in which case it remains only one Safek).
Mishnah 7
10)
(a)R. Meir's reasoning throughout the Perek is based on the principle 'es she'Darko Limanos'. What does this mean?
(b)The Chachamim confine the list of things that are not subject to Bitul to six items. What does R. Akiva say?
10)
(a)R. Meir's reasoning throughout the Perek is based on the principle 'es she'Darko Limanos', meaning - that due to their value, they are always sold by numbers (rather than by weight or by bundles).
(b)The Chachamim confine the list of things that are not subject to Bitul to six items. R. Akiva lists - seven.
11)
(a)The Chachamm's list includes Egozei Perech, pomegranates from Baden, Chulfos T'radin (an entire beet [Tos. Yom-Tov; see also Tiferes Yisrael]) and Dala'as Yevanis. What is ...
1. ... 'Egozei Perech'?
2. ... 'Dala'as Yevanis'?
(b)What remaining item do the Chachamim include in the list?
(c)Which item does R. Akiva add to the above list?
(d)Which two Isurim are the Mishnah discussing?
(e)Like whom is the Halachah?
11)
(a)The Chachamm's list includes Egozei Perech, pomegranates from Baden, Chulfos Teradin (an entire beet [Tos. Yom-Tov; see also Tiferes Yisrael]) and Dala'as Yevanis.
1. 'Egozei Perech' - either means coconuts or another type of nut with a soft skin that can be broken by hand.
2. ... 'Dala'as Yevanis' - is a greek pumpkin.
(b)The Chachamim also include - closed barrels of wine in the list ...
(c)... whilst R. Akiva adds - home-baked loaves (see Tiferes Yisrael).
(d)The Mishnah is discussing both Orlah and K'lai ha'Kerem - Orlah with regard to the fruit of a tree and K'lai ha'Kerem, with regard to the vegetables (see also Tos. Yom-Tov).
(e)The Halachah is - neither like R. Meir nor like R. Akiva, but like the Chachamim (see also Tos. Yom-Tov., in the following Mishnah).
Mishnah 8
12)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about coconuts of Orlah that are broken, pomegranates that have been broken up, wine barrels that are opened, pumpkins that have been cut and loaves that been broken into crumbs?
(b)Who is the author of this Mishnah?
12)
(a)The Mishnah rules that coconuts of Orlah that are broken, pomegranates that have been broken up, wine barrels that are opened, pumpkins that have been cut and loaves that been broken into crumbs - are Bateil in two hundred.
(b)The author of this Mishnah is R. Akiva, who includes home-baked loaves of bread in the list.
Mishnah 9
13)
(a)What distinction does the Tana draw between Safek Orlah in Eretz Yisrael and in Syria?
(b)What is the reason for this distinction?
(c)What is an example of Safek Orlah?
(d)Considering that David Hamelech captured Syria, why is Orlah not min ha'Torah?
13)
(a)The Tana maintains - that Safek Orlah in Eretz Yisrael is Asur, whereas in Syria, it is permitted.
(b)This distinction is - based on the principle 'Sefeika d'Oraysa le'Chumra (since Orlah in Eretz Yisrael is min ha'Torah), and mi'de'Rabbanan le'Kula' (since in Syria, it is mi'de'Rabbanan, though due to its proximity, they were more stringent with it than with other parts of Chutz la'Aretz, as we shall see shortly).
(c)An example of Safek Orlah is - where a Nochri has some Orlah saplings growing in his field, and we do not know whether the fruit that he is selling are from those saplings or not.
(d)In spite of the fact that David Hamelech captured Syria, Orlah is not min ha'Torah - because he captured it before capturing the whole of Eretz Yisrael, in which case it is has a Din of 'Kibush Yachid' (private conquest).
14)
(a)The Chachamim decreed Orlah in Chutz la'Aretz too. What is the difference between Safek Orlah in Syria and Safek Orlah in Chutz la'Aretz?
(b)What Chumra do they still share?
14)
(a)The Chachamim decreed Orlah in Chutz la'Aretz too. The difference between Safek Orlah in Syria and Safek Orlah in Chutz la'Aretz is - that in the former, one is only allowed to purchase fruit that one did not see Nochri pick, whereas in Chutz la'Aretz, one may even purchase fruit which he picked in one's presence.
(b)Either way - the Yisrael is not permitted to pick the fruit himself (see Tiferes Yisrael).
15)
(a)What distinction does the Tana draw between purchasing vegetables from outside a vineyard in Eretz Yisrael that has vegetables growing in it, and one in Syria?
(b)What Chumra do they share?
(c)What does the Tana learn from the Pasuk in Emor (in connection with Chadash) "ve'Lechem ... Lo Sochlu ... be'Chol Moshvoseichem"?
15)
(a)The Tana - forbids purchasing vegetables from outside a vineyard in Eretz Yisrael that has vegetables growing in it, but permits this in Syria.
(b)Either way - the Yisrael is not permitted to pick the fruit himself (as we just learned in connection with Safek Orlah).
(c)The Tana learns from the Pasuk in Emor "ve'Lechem ... Lo Sochlu ... be'Chol Moshvoseichem" - that Chadash applies in Chutz la'Aretz min ha'Torah.
16)
(a)What does he finally say about Orlah and Kil'ayim respectively, in Chutz la'Aretz?
(b)Then why is Safek Orlah in Chutz la'Aretz permitted?
(c)To which branch of Kil'ayim is the Tana referring?
(d)Why is K'lai Zera'im permitted in Chutz la'Aretz?
16)
(a)Finally, the Tana rules - that Orlah applies in Chutz la'Aretz 'Halachah le'Moshe mi'Sinai whereas Kil'ayim applies only mi'de'Rabbanan.
(b)Safek Orlah in Chutz la'Aretz is nevertheless permitted - because that is part of the Halachah ... .
(c)The Tana is referring specifically to K'lai ha'Kerem (see Tiferes Yisrael, note 41) which is Asur be'Hana'ah in Eretz Yisrael, but not to ...
(d)... K'lai Zera'im, which is Mutar be'Hana'ah in Eretz Yisrael.
17)
(a)The Torah writes in Kedoshim 'Sadcha Lo Sizra Kil'ayim'. From where do we learn that grafting Kil'ayim is forbidden too?
(b)What else do we learn from the Hekesh to K'lai Beheimah?
17)
(a)The Torah writes in Kedoshim 'Sadcha Lo Sizra Kil'ayim'. We learn that grafting Kil'ayim is forbidden too - from K'lai Behemah, which is similar to grafting (and the Torah juxtaposes the above Pasuk beside that of "Behemt'cha Lo Sarbi'a Kil'ayim").
(b)We also learn from the Hekesh - that as K'lai Behemah applies in Chutz la'Aretz too (see Tos. Yom-Tov), so too, does the prohibition of Harkavas ha'Ilan.
