*34.3 Makkos Daf 22 B (7 lines after spreads)*

Aug 12, 2020

7:08

*34.3 Makkos Daf 22 B (7 lines after spreads)**Summary** Mishna: This is how malkos is given:*His hands are tied around a block of wood (that was set low in the ground, he was stooped over the block with his chest on top of it and his hands hanging down on both sides). The Chazan Hakneses (overseer of the community in which the beis din was located) grabs his garment to tear it and uncover his chest. It doesn’t matter whether it gets ripped or if the seams open up.There’s a stone behind where the condemned man is tied (so that the blows are more forceful when they come from greater height) for the chazan to stand on.The chazan holds a whip of four calfskin strips, it also contains two strips made of donkey hide which go up and down in order to make the length adjustable.The handle of the whip is a tefach, as is the width of the strips. The tips of the straps must be long enough to reach his belly when he is hit on the shoulders.He is hit once on the chest and then twice; on each shoulder blade.He cannot be standing or sitting during malkos, rather he must be stooped over, as the possuk says “The judge shall cast him down”.The one who hits may only do so with one hand, but he must do so with all his strength.Someone stands there and reads the following pessukim: “If you don’t keep all that Hashem commanded you… Hashem will increase your blows…” These are read for the entire duration of the malkos, if he finishes, he begins again. (The possuk is most important, this should have entered his mind by his ears, but since it didn’t, the lashes help the pessukim sink into his consciousness). (The other two pessukim in our version of the gemara are omitted) If he dies during the ordeal, the shliach beis din is pottur from galus (11.3). If however, he added one additional blow, then he is liable and must go into galus. If he was spoiled by defecation or urination, the malkos are stopped (Tiferes Yisroel comments that the word spoiled indicates that it was unintentional; if he urinated intentionally, the malkos are continued). *Rabbi Yehuda:* A man is only absolved from malkos if he defecates. A woman is absolved even if she merely urinates. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

*34.5 Makkos Daf 23 A (2 lines after spreads)**Summary**Rav Sheishes from Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah:* We learn that *anybody who speaks or accepts lashon hora, or testifies falsely deserves to be thrown to the dogs* from the juxtaposition of the pessukim “Throw it to the dogs” and “Do not bear a false report”. The word for “bear” can also be read as “give over”, thus all three things are included in this possuk. (Someone who misuses his gift of speech is like a piece of dead meat. Additionally, someone who opens his mouth without thinking is worse than a dog which opens its mouth to bark at people for no reason. This is something to keep in mind when a dog barks at you). We learned in the mishna (34.3) that in addition to the calfskin straps in the whip, there were two additional straps. *Beraisa:* These straps were made of donkey hide.As *the Gallilean expounded in the presence of Rav Chisda* (in Bavel, a guest from Gallil said a drasha): “The ox knows his master and the donkey knows the trough of his owner (they are grateful to the hand that feeds them), But Yisroel doesn’t know, my people don’t reflect on this”. One who recognizes his master [the ox (calf) and the donkey] should exact retribution on the sinner who does not recognize his Master. (We note that the chief fault of the sinner is ingratitude towards Hashem). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

*34.4 Makkos Daf 23 A (Top line)*

Aug 13, 2020

5:46

*34.4 Makkos Daf 23 A (Top line)**Summary**Gemara:**[Question: What’s the reason?* (That he’s handled so roughly).*Answer* : The possuk says “Your brother *should be put to shame”.]* (Some omit the above from the gemara’s text). (There is a difficulty with the gemara’s answer, since we learned 34.3 that if he is ashamed by defecation we stop the malkos. But a distinction must be made between the forms of shame prescribed by the Torah, and an extreme form of shame which obviates the need for malkos). The following is a list of hekeishim that Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah derived from the juxtaposition of pessukim in the Torah. *Rav Sheishes from Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah:* We learn that the *straps are made from calfskin* from the juxtaposition of the pessukim “He is flogged forty times” and “Do not muzzle an ox (a mature calf) while he threshes”.*Rav Sheishes from Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah:* We learn that a woman is *not forced to marry her yavam if she’s disgusted by him* from the juxtaposition of “Do not muzzle an ox while he threshes” with the parsha of yibum. (Just like we don’t muzzle the ox and cause him pain, we do not cause pain to this woman by forcing her into such a marriage). *Rav Sheishes from Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah:* We learn that *neglecting chol hamoed is like serving idols* from the juxtaposition of the pessukim “Do not make a metal god” and “Guard the Chag of Matzos”. (Chol hamoed is intended as a time to reflect on all that Hashem did for us. Negating that great principle is a rejection of Hashem). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

*34.6 Makkos Daf 23 A (8 lines after spreads)**Summary* We learned in the mishna (34.3) that the handle of the whip is a tefach, and the tips of the straps must be long enough to reach his belly when he is hit on the shoulders. *Abayye:* We learn that *whips must be custom built each time.**Rava to Abayye:* But then they would have *many straps* hanging in Beis Din!*Rava:* A loop is made with the calfskin straps to adjust the length of the donkey straps. We learned in the mishna (34.3) that he is hit once on the chest and then twice; on each shoulder blade. *Question: What’s the source?**Rav Kahana:* The wording in the possuk about malkos indicates that *one part should be in front.**Rav Chisda amar Rabbi Yochanan:* We know that *the straps are folded over* from the word “V’hipilo” (The Yerushalmi explains that this is similar to the word “Hichpilo” which means folded over. This needs an explanation. The plain meaning of the word is that he should be hit with a blow that can make a man stagger. This is accomplished by doubling up the straps). *Challenge:* The word is necessary to convey that *he should be bent over?**Resolution: That could have been taught by a different word.* The choice of hipilo rather than yateihu teaches both lessons.

*35.1 Makkos Daf 23 A (15 lines after spreads)**Summary* We learned in the mishna (34.3) that the one who hits may only do so with one hand, but he must do so with all his strength. *Beraisa:* For this job, we only appoint people who are weak in might, but mighty in thought (since they must hit with all their might, it is preferable that they be weak). *Rabbi Yehuda:* We may even appoint people who are weak in thought but physically mighty.*Rava:* Rabbi Yehuda’s view is more acceptable from a logical standpoint. The verse says “He shouldn’t add onto the lashes” [which is explained as being a general prohibition against hitting another Jew. The fact that it is written specifically towards the person giving the malkos implies that we’re talking to a strongman who is not so learned] *this makes sense according to Rabbi Yehuda.* But according to the Chachomim, the Torah wouldn’t need to warn them.Rabbanan: We urge *only people who are interested* in being urged (the Rov expounded a bit on this idea). *Beraisa: He raises the whip with both hands but brings it down using only one hand,* so that it comes with force. (In raising the whip his left hand is an assistance. In lowering it, it becomes an impediment). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

*35.2 Makkos Daf 23 A (20 lines Up)* We learned in the mishna (34.3) that someone stands there and reads the following pessukim: “If you don’t keep all that Hashem commanded you… Hashem will increase your blows…” These are read for the entire duration of the malkos, if he finishes, he begins again. *Summary**Beraisa: The chief dayan reads the pessukim. The second counts, the third gives the signal to hit.*When the full number of lashes are being given, he *draws out the reading.* If he was assessed for a small amount of malkos *he says the possuk more rapidly.**Challenge: Our mishna states “if he finishes, he begins again”.**Resolution: It is preferable* to adjust the reading to last for the duration of the malkos, our mishna is discussing a case where this was not done. The possuk (mentioned in 35.1) states “He should hit him forty times, he should not add [to these blows], lest he add ‘a great [number of] blow[s]’ on top of these, and your brother will be shamed before your eyes”. *Beraisa:* It states “A great number of blows”. This teaches that we may not hit a fellow Jew. But how do we know that *even a small number* of blows is prohibited? Because it states *“On top of these”* [nothing should be added to his allotted punishment]. Why then does the Torah mention “a great number of blows”? This teaches that the *previous blows were great blows* [the fact that even a small blow is prohibited after malkos were administered, teaches us that the malkos were heavy blows] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

*35.3 Makkos Daf 23 A (14 lines up)*Summary We learned in the mishna (34.3) that if he was spoiled by defecation or urination, the malkos are stopped. Rabbi Yehuda: A man is only absolved from malkos if he defecates. A woman is absolved even if she merely urinates. *Beraisa A:**Rabbi Meir* : Both men and women are absolved from *malkos* *only by defecation.**Rabbi Yehuda: A man* is only absolved from malkos if he defecates. *A woman* is absolved evenre if she merely urinates. (His position in this beraisa is identical to our mishna). *Chachomim:* Both men and women are absolved from malkos *even by urination.**Challenge:**Beraisa B:**Rabbi Yehuda:* Both men and women are absolved from malkos *by defecation.**Rav Nachman bar Yitzchok:* Beraisa B is saying that *defecation is sufficient cause* to absolve men.*Shmuel:* If he tore himself loose and *ran away* after being tied down, he is absolved from malkos [it is considered as if he was already put to shame].*Challenge: Beraisa:* If he was shamed during the first blow or the second blow, *he is absolved.* If the whip broke during the second blow he is absolved, but *not if it broke during the first blow.**Why is this different* from the case where he ran away before getting the first blow?*Resolution: Since he didn’t run away,* he was not put to shame.*Beraisa:* If a man is assessed as one who will *defecate as soon as the malkos begin, he is absolved.* As the possuk states, “He is hit, and he shall be shamed”, but he shouldn’t be shamed before he is hit.If he will defecate *after leaving beis din, we give him malkos. *If he defecated *before the assessment, we wait* until he calms down and he is assessed and given malkos.

*35.4 Makkos Daf 23 A (5 lines up)*

Aug 19, 2020

6:20

*35.4 Makkos Daf 23 A (5 lines up)**Summary**Mishna:**Rabbi Chananya ben Gamliel: One who receives malkos is absolved from kareis. * As the possuk states “Your brother will be shamed”, once he receives his punishment he is considered ‘your brother’. (There is a debate among the commentaries as to whether this is true for someone who has not repented). *Rabbi Chananya ben Gamliel:* If one can lose his life [by kareis] through one aveirah then certainly *he can save his life through [the merit of one] mitzvah. **Rabbi Shimon:* It is apparent from the parsha of kerisus where it states “These are the mitzvos for man to do and *‘live’ by them”.* This teaches that one who sits by [when opportunity for sin arises] and does not do an aveirah, *is rewarded as if he did a mitzvah.**Rabbi Shimon bar Rebbi:* It states “Do not eat blood [and it will be good for you]”. *Blood is disgusting, yet the Torah rewards one who avoids it,* so certainly one who avoids gezel and arayos, sins that are desirable to people, will gain great reward for himself and his descendants forever. (Most people cannot look at blood, yet by adding the thought that we’re avoiding it because of the mitzvah, we’re rewarded. Similarly, by adding a thought while eating breakfast, that we’re eating for the sake of heaven, we will be rewarded.) *Rabbi Chananya ben Akashya: Hashem desired to give merit to Yisroel,* so he added to the Torah and Mitzvos (things that they wouldn’t do anyhow) in order to give them reward. As it states, “Hashem chafetz lemaan tzidko yagdil torah v’yaadir”. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

7:39

*35.5 Makkos Daf 23 B (4 lines after spreads)**Summary* We learned in the mishna (35.4): Rabbi Chananya ben Gamliel: One who receives malkos is absolved from kareis. *Gemara:**Rabbi Yochanan: The Chachomim disagree with Rabbi Chanania ben Gamliel.**Rav Ada bar Ahava quoting Bei Rav:* The mishna states “Shabbos and Yom Kippur are equal, except that a desecration of Shabbos is punished by man [Beis Din], whereas a desecration of *Yom Kippur is punishable by Kareis.” If Rabbi Chanania’s position is correct, Yom Kippur is also punishable by man* [since the Kareis penalty is removed when Beis Din gives malkos]. *Rav Nachman: [Only] Rabbi Yitzchok disagrees with Rabbi Chanania ben Gamliel.* We learned (20.3) that according to Rabbi Yitzchok there is no malkos for one who deserves Kareis.*Beraisa: Rabbi Yitzchok:* Forbidden relations with a sister was part of the general rule of all the close relatives with whom intimate relations are punishable by kareis. And yet the Torah specifies that forbidden relations with a sister is a kerisus liability; this teaches that it [and all others in the rule] is punishable *only by kareis and not malkos. **Rav Ashi: The Chachomim may agree with Rabbi Chanania ben Gamliel.*When the mishna states that Shabbos is punishable by man whereas Yom Kippur is not, it is referring to *the chief punishment.**Rav Ada bar Ahava amar Rav: The halacha follows Rabbi Chanania ben Gamliel.* (This is an unusual statement, because there is no practical difference to us). *Rav Yosef: Who ascended to heaven* and returned to tell us whether they give kareis or not?!*Abayye* to Rav Yosef: What about the statement of *Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: “The upper court agreed to three decisions of the earthly court”,* Who ascended to heaven and returned to let us know about that? No one went up. *We understand the position of the heavenly court by hints from pessukim. * Rav too, inferred the halacha in this case from pessukim. (We see here that it is a given that no one returned from heaven. Thus we understand that whenever the gemara tells us about things that took place in the heavenly realm, it is not to be taken entirely literally, but as a vision or a dream that was granted to the authors of the Talmud).

*35.6 Makkos Daf 23 B (14 lines after spreads)**Summary**Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi:* The upper court agreed to three decisions of the earthly court. 1. The institution of *Megillah reading.* 2. Greeting one’s fellow *with Hashem’s Name.* 3. *Bringing maaser* to the Beis Hamikdash rather than giving it to an individual levi. 1. Regarding megillah reading it is written: “They corroborated and accepted the law”. It means; *In Heaven they corroborated what was accepted below.*2. Regarding greeting one’s fellow with Hashem’s Name, the possuk records that Boaz (who acted with ruach hakodesh and is considered an authority) *greeted his reapers with Hashem’s name.* Another possuk records that *a malach spoke this way to Gideon.**Challenge:* Why is a second possuk necessary?*Resolution:* In case Boaz can be thought to be acting of his own volition, we bring a case of a malach who does only what Hashem wants of him.3. Regarding bringing maaser, and giving maaser to the kohanim [an enactment of Ezra], as it states *“Bring the maaser to the treasure house, and let there be provisions in my house.* Test Me with this, says Hashem (we see here that it is the word of Hashem), if this won’t cause me to open for you the windows of the heavens, and I will pour out upon you blessings ‘ad bli dai’, without any end” (it means, it will rain, and you’ll have abundant crops from which to give maaser). *Question:* Why does the possuk use the words bli dai which literally mean that it will *not* be enough?*Rami bar Rav:* Bli is similar to balah – to wear out. It means *until your lips wear out from saying “ dai – it’s enough”.* (We learn from here that tzedakah is one of the mitzvos for which we can expect reward in this world. Although generally one may not test Hashem, with regard to tzedakah, it is permitted). (We also learn from here that a man must wear out his lips in thanking Hashem, until his last day on this world). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

7:31

*36.1 Makkos Daf 23 B (17 lines up)**Summary**Rabbi Elazar:* Ruach Hakodesh appeared in beis din on three occasions (generally the Torah way is to ignore nevuah when it comes to din and rely only on human logic, but on three occasions there was heavenly intervention). 1. The beis din of *Sheim* (it was already after Sheim’s passing, but it was the beis din he had instituted). 2.The beis din of *Shmuel.* 3.The beis din of *Shlomo.*1. In the beis din of Sheim we find that Yehuda said about Tamar “She is righteous. [She is pregnant] From me.” He couldn’t have known that she was pregnant from him, if he consorted with her, perhaps someone else had consorted with her as well. This is why the possuk says “From Me”, *a bas kol said that “These secrets come from Me”* (Hashem planned it out this way so that the Kingdom of Moshiach would come from this union). 2. In the beis din of Shmuel (since the great innovation of the institution of kingship was suggested at the time, there was a convention of all the sages) When Shmuel claimed he never wronged the people in any way, the possuk states “Hashem bears witness and the king (Shaul, who was present) bears witness ‘and he said’ it is true”. It should say “and they said”, but they couldn’t have known that Shmuel had never wronged anyone. It means that *a bas kol confirmed what Shmuel claimed.*3. In the beis din of Shlomo, in the case of the two women who argued over the surviving child, Shlomo said “She is his mother”. Shlomo could not have been sure - perhaps she was cunning and saw through Shlomo’s ruse, however *a bas kol stated that she is the mother* (The words “She is his mother” are superfluous in the possuk).

[She is pregnant] From me.” He couldn’t have known that she was pregnant from him, if he consorted with her, perhaps someone else had consorted with her as well.2. In the beis din of Shmuel, when Shmuel claimed he never wronged the people in any way, the possuk states “and he said it is true”. It should say “and they said”, it means that a bas kol confirmed what Shmuel claimed.3. In the beis din of Shlomo, in the case of the two women who argued over the surviving child, Shlomo said “She is his mother”. Shlomo could not have been sure - perhaps she was cunning and saw through Shlomo’s ruse.*Summary**Rava:* The proofs presented are not compelling:1. Perhaps Yehuda realized that her pregnancy must have begun at the time he consorted with her. *We can establish based on what we see,* not on conjectures.2. When the possuk talks about the Jewish People, *it refers to them in the singular,* as in “Yisroel is helped by Hashem” not “are helped”.3. When the other woman agreed to cut the child in half, *she proved* that she wasn't the mother.*Resolution:* Rabbi Elazar’s words are *based on tradition,* and not on logical proofs. (It’s interesting to note that Rava didn’t just accept what was told to him about ruach hakodesh; he examined each proof meticulously). *Rabbi Shimlai: Moshe was given 613 mitzvos: 365, like the days of the sun year, are lavin, prohibitions. 248, like the amount of organs and limbs in the human body, are esin, obligations.**Rav Hamnuna:* We find this in a possuk: *“Torah was commanded to us by Moshe”.* The letters of ‘Torah’ add up to 611 because those were commanded to us by Moshe; the first two of the ten commandments, we heard from Hashem ourselves.

*36.3 Makkos Daf 24 A (2 lines Dn)*Rabbi Shimlai: Moshe was given 613 mitzvos.*Summary**Dovid summed up the Torah in eleven principles* (thinking into these eleven will remind you of all 613). As it states “Mizmor L’Dovid; Hashem, who will dwell in your tent who can live on your holy mountain (it means, who will merit olam habo) ?One who (1) walks with perfection, and (2) works righteously, (3) speaks truthfully in his heart, (4) has no gossip on his tongue, (5) does no evil to his fellow, and (6) bears no shame on his relative, (7) he despises what’s contemptible, (8) honors those who fear Hashem, (9) he keeps his word to harm himself (such as when he accepts a fast), (10) he doesn’t give his money at interest, nor does he (11) accept bribery, one who does this will never slip.”1. An example of one who walked in perfection is Avraham Avinu as the possuk states “Walk before me and be perfect”. (One who thinks of Hashem at all times is led on the path of perfection). 2. An example would be *Abba Chilkiya* [who wouldn’t rob his employer ofthe time it takes to return a greeting].3. Rav Safra is an example of someone who speaks truthfully in his heart [once he accepted a cheap offer in his mind, he wouldn’t take more money for what he wanted to sell].4. *Yaakov Avinu* wouldn’t speak wrongly (the example given here is different than the usual translation) and he was hesitant to deceive his father.5. This refers to someone who doesn’t compete in business (even in ways that are permissible according to halacha). 6. This refers to someone who *helps out his family members.*7. This refers to *Chizkiyahu Hamelech* who gave his father, Achaz, a pauper’s burial instead of honoring him with a royal funeral. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

*36.4 Makkos Daf 24 A (19 lines Dn)*Dovid summed up the Torah in eleven principles.(8) He honors those who fear Hashem, (9) he keeps his word to harm himself (such as when he accepts a fast), (10) he doesn’t give his money at interest, nor does he (11) accept bribery, one who does this will never slip.”*Summary*8. *Yehoshafat Melech Yehuda* is an example of one who upheld this principle. When he would see a talmid chochom, he would rise from his throne to hug him and kiss him; he would call him Rebbi, Rebbi, Mori, Mori. (A king can’t honor anyone in public, but in private he would do so). 9. An example would be *Rabbi Yochanan* who declared “I am fasting until I arrive home” [he didn’t wish to benefit from others or to get invited by the nesi’im ].10. This means one who *wouldn’t even loan money to gentiles at interest* (at that time when Jews lived among themselves it was discouraged, lest one develop a taste for lending at interest. Later it was encouraged because it was necessary for livelihood). 11. *Rabbi Yishmael b’Rabbi Yosi* is an example of one who doesn’t accept bribes [when his sharecropper brought him his crop, he refused to judge his case].It is written “one who does this will never slip”. Whenever *Rabban Gamliel* came to this possuk, he would break down and weep. He said “Only one who does all of these will never slip, but if he does some of these, it seems he will still slip away from Olam Habo.*Chachomim* to Rabban Gamliel: It is written “one who does this”, *not “one who does all this”.* Regarding tumah the possuk says: “Do not defile yourselves with all these [forms of tumah ]”, does that mean that one tumah alone does not cause one to be defiled? Here too, one of these good things alone is enough to cause one not to slip. (However Rabban Gamliel persisted in weeping each time he read the possuk, he disagreed with them). The peirush of Rashi ends on daf 19b. A talmid wrote “Our Master, of pure body, his soul left him in purity [while he was writing about purity]”. Here too, we have no further recordings of Rav Miller Z”L. His peirush ends with “Do not defile yourself with tumah, and how to reach Olam Habo” - what he taught us all his life. Until the end of the Masichta we have the shiur of Rav Eliyahu Brog Shlita, his grandson and his successor as Rav of Beis Yisroel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

(4) He shakes his hands from bribery, (5) shuts his ears and prefers silence, (6) and shuts his eyes in the face of evil.1. An example would be Avraham Avinuas it states “I know him that he will command his children after him to follow in his footsteps of righteousness”.2. This refers to one who does not demean his fellow publicly.3. An example would be Rabbi Yishmael ben Elisha [when someone brought him reishis hagez, he refused to accept it].4. An example would be Rabbi Yishmael b’Rabbi Yosi (36.4, 11). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

This means someone who cannot listen to a talmid chacham being shamed and remain silent, this was personified by Rabbi Elazar ben Rabbi Shimon [as explained by the Rivan].6. As explained by Rabbi Chiya bar Abba. Rabbi Chiya bar Abba: This refers to one who doesn’t look at women as they wash clothes in the river, and it states “He will dwell on high”.Micha summed up the Torah in three principles as it states: Hashem wants of you (1) to do judgement, (2) to love kindliness, and (3) to walk secretly with Hashem.1. This refers to Justice.2. This refers to being kind towards others.3. This refers to walking along at a funeral and bringing a kallah to the chuppah. We learn from here the importance of keeping things private, weddings and funerals are public affairs and the Torah tells us to keep them private. Private matters should certainly be kept private.[For a discussion on the topic of walking secretly with Hashem, see here.https://torasavigdor.org/parshas-bamidbar-walking-secretly-with-hashem/A lecture of the Rov zatzal on this topic is available from Simchas Hachaim here]http://www.simchashachaim.com/emunah-going-in-his-ways/19-walking-secretly-with-hashem/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Moshe said “You will be secure when you’re similar to Yaakov”. This was mitigated by Amos who said “Who can be like Yaakov”, “Hashem reconsidered”.2. Moshe said “You won’t be at peace among the nations”. This was mitigated by Yirmiyah who said “Yisroel will find peace”.3. Moshe said “He remembers the sins of fathers to punish their children”. This was mitigated by Yechezkel who said “The sinful soul shall perish”.4. Moshe said “You will go lost among the nations”.

But Rabbi Akiva was happy. He said: The possuk says “I have taken two witnesses; Uriah and Zechariah”. How do Uriah and Zechariah bear testimony together, they were from different generations!?It means that the prophecy of Zechariah [about Jerusalem being restored to its ancient glory] is dependent on the prophecy of Uriah [about Tzion being ruined completely].

However regarding a mavuy, the mishna teaches how to remedy the problem instead of declaring it possul.SummaryAnswer 2: In principle the mishna would teach how to remedy Torah laws as well. However remedying all four instances of our mishna would require a lengthy discussion with different terms for each case which would make the mishna difficult to memorize.Since the mishna of mavuy only requires one extra word; the remedy is included.Question: Why is a Sukkah possul when its schach is higher than 20 amos ?Rabbah: The possuk states “Dwell in sukkos so that all your generations should know that I caused the bnei yisroel to live in sukkos when I took them out of Mitzrayim”. (They lived in flimsy dwellings and Hashem was their sukkah, as we say “ufros aleinu sukkas shlomecha”).In order that ‘your generations should know’, they need to be able to see the schach*. The eye only looks up until 20 amos, nobody cricks their neck to look higher than that. *Tosfos: Challenge: In Mesichta Eruvin Rabbah rules that if schach extends above 20 amos, it is possul even if it is a thick layer and it begins within 20 amos!Resolution: There is a gezeirah there that the schach within 20 amos may gradually fall out and only the possul schach will remain.

A sukkah must provide shade, and one is only shaded by the sukkah up until 20 amos, higher than that one is shaded by the walls.Abayye to Rabbi Zeira: When one builds a sukkah in a narrow canyon (or between two tall buildings) it will also be shaded by the canyon walls and not by the schach?Rabbi Zeira: There, the schach casts a shadow, only that the walls also provide shade. However if the schach is higher than twenty amos, it does not cast a shadow (the higher an object is, the smaller its shade becomes).Rava: The possuk states “You should dwell in the sukkah for seven days”, it means for seven days we must leave our houses and live in temporary dwellings. (There’s a very important teaching here that we have no secure homes, only Hashem is our home. See more here).A temporary dwelling is only up until 20 amos, higher than that one must make sturdier walls.Abayye to Rava: When one builds a sukkah of iron walls, it is kosher?Rava: Up until 20 amos, the dimensions permit for a temporary dwelling. More than that one is forced to make sturdy walls. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

Today’s learning sponsored in memory ofר' אהרן בן אברהם וזוגתו עידא חי' בת מאיר לייבSponsor a day's learning (thousands of minutes!) for only $72 click herehttps://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause pdetails/ODUwOTUWhy is a Sukkah possul when its schach is higher than 20 amos?1. Rabbah: They need to be able to see the schach as it states “your generations should know”.2. Rabbi Zeira: A sukkah must provide shade, as it states “A sukkah by day to shade”.3. Rava: A temporary dwelling is only up until 20 amos. A sukkah must be temporary as it states “You should dwell in the sukkah”.SummaryThe Others did not accept the reasoning of Rabbah: The possuk is referring to the knowledge of future generations, it is not teaching that one must be able to see the schach.The Others did not accept the reasoning of Rabbi Zeira: The possuk is referring to the times of Moshiach, it is not teaching about the schach.Rabbi Zeira: The possuk could have compared the security of Moshiach’s times to the shade of a canopy. By comparing it to a sukkah, we learn an extra law about sukkos.(The challenge posed to Rabbi Zeira was very strong, and that’s why he was compelled to defend himself. The challenge on Rabbah’s logic was not as strong.)The Others did not accept the reasoning of Rava: based on Abayye’s challenge, that a sukkah built with iron walls is kosher.Question: Which of the three reasons accounts for the statement of Rabbi Yoshiya?Rabbi Yoshiya quoting Rav: The Chachomim agree to Rabbi Yehuda (1.1) that a high sukkah is kosher in a case where the walls go all the way up to the schach.Answer: This is in accordance with the explanation of Rabbah. Since the walls reach up to the schach, one’s eyes follow the walls and he will be reminded of the schach.Question: Which of the three reasons accounts for the statement of Rav Huna?Rav Huna quoting Rav: The Chachomim agree to Rabbi Yehuda (1.1) that a high sukkah is kosher in a case where the sukkah’s area is greater than 4x4 amos.Answer: This is in accordance with the explanation of Rabbi Zeira. Since it is wide the shade persists despite the elevation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.

Rabbah: They need to be able to see the schach as it states “your generations should know”.2. Rabbi Zeira: A sukkah must provide shade, as it states “A sukkah by day to shade”.3. Rava: A temporary dwelling is only up until 20 amos. A sukkah must be temporary as it states “You should dwell in the sukkah”.SummaryQuestion: Which of the three reasons accounts for the statement of Rav Chanan bar Rabbah quoting Rav?Rav Chanan bar Rabbah quoting Rav: The Chachomim agree to Rabbi Yehuda (1.1) that a high sukkah is kosher in a case where the sukkah’s area is greater than 7x7 tefachim* [‘a size that fits his head, most of his body, and a small table’. (In the olden days people would eat while reclining on couches and there would be a small tefach-sized table near each couch)].Answer: None. [According to Rabbah, you still can’t see the schach. According to Rabbi Zeira, it’s still too high to provide shade. According to Rava, You still need to build sturdy walls].Three amoraim quoted Rav differently in limiting the machlokes between Rabbi Yehuda (a sukkah higher than 20 amos is kosher) and the Chachomim (it is possul) in our mishna (1.1).Rabbi Yoshiya (in accordance with Rabbah’s explanation) made it dependent on whether the walls reach the schach (1.4).Rav Huna (in accordance with Rabbi Zeira’s explanation) made it dependent on whether the area is greater than four square amos (1.4).Rav Chanan bar Rabbah made it dependent on whether the area is greater than seven square tefachim.Suggestion: Rabbi Yoshiya doesn’t discuss the area of the sukkah*, but since Rav Huna and Rav Chanan bar Rabbah discuss the area of the sukkah, it would seem that *they argue about the minimal area required for a sukkah. Rav Huna holds it must be 4x4 amos, while Rav Chanan bar Rabbah holds it must be 7x7 tefachim.Response: Not necessarily. It may be that Rav Huna agrees that a sukkah with an area of 7x7 tefachim is kosher, only that up until 4x4 amos it’s possul if it’s higher than 20 amos [the Chachomim do not agree with Rabbi Yehuda because the shade is too high to affect the small area below]. * Tosfos: A tall and narrow sukkah would resemble a chicken coop. Once it’s a bit wider, it no longer resembles a chicken coop and may be considered a sukkah.* We have presented the gemara according to the version of *Tosfos See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today’s learning sponsoredSponsor a day's learning (thousands of minutes!) for only $72 click herehttps://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause pdetails/ODUwOTUThree amoraim quoted Rav differently in limiting the machlokes between Rabbi Yehuda (a sukkah higher than 20 amos is kosher) and the Chachomim (it is possul) in our mishna (1.1).Rabbi Yoshiya made it dependent on whether the walls reach the schach (1.4).Rav Huna made it dependent on whether the area is greater than four square amos (1.4).Rav Chanan bar Rabbah made it dependent on whether the area is greater than seven square tefachim (1.5).SummaryChallenge:Beraisa: A sukkah higher than 20 amos is possul. Rabbi Yehuda: Even forty or fifty amos is kosher.Rabbi Yehuda: It happened that Queen Helene’s sukkah in Lod was higher than 20 amos, yet the Zekeinim did not comment when they visited.Chachomim: She was a woman, and not commanded in sukkah.Rabbi Yehuda: But didn’t she have seven sons? Besides, she did everything according to the rabbis.Question: Why is “besides” necessary?Answer: In case you would say that the sons were little and also not commanded to sit in the sukkah; but since there were seven of them, the oldest must have already been the age where he ‘no longer needs his mother’ and must be in the sukkah.Now, even though it is only a rabbinic obligation for a boy who ‘no longer needs his mother’ to sit in the sukkah, she did everything according to the rabbis.This beraisa discusses the debate between Rabbi Yehuda and the Chachomim which was explained differently by Rabbi Yoshiya, Rav Huna and Rav Chanan bar Rabbah.According to Rabbi Yoshiya this beraisa raises no challenge . Their debate is in a case where the walls do not reach the schach, which could have very well been the case with the queen’s sukkah,which may have been built that way to provide ventilation.According to Rav Huna and Rav Chanan bar Rabbah that the debate is only with regard to a small sukkah, would the queen have been using a small sukkah?Rabbah bar Rav Ada: The sukkah was made up of little rooms.Challenge: Would the queen be using such a sukkah?Rav Ashi: It was a large sukkah with little cubicles in it.The Chachomim say that the zekeinim didn’t comment since her sons were seated in the main sukkah and only she was in the cubicle, for privacy.Rabbi Yehuda says that her sons were with her in the cubicle, and still the zekeinim didn’t comment since a high sukkah is kosher.
