Starting the Mishnah on Shabbat

ื—ื‘ืจื™ื, we're starting the Mishnah in the beginning of Shabbos, and the nekudah of the Mishnah is, without going into the general, into the details of every detailed case, which is not going to be the discussion today, the main nekudah that we see in this Mishnah is one thing: that when it comes to the issur of ื”ื•ืฆืื”, when it comes to the issur of carrying on Shabbos, carrying out from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, or carrying from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“, which is ื”ื›ื ืกื”, and the same is with the ืชื•ืœื“ื•ืช of ื”ื•ืฆืื”, besides ื”ื›ื ืกื”, like carrying ื“' ืืžื•ืช ื‘ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, if you carry four ืืžื•ืช in ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, which is within the same ืจืฉื•ืช, but if you're carrying four ืืžื•ืช ื‘ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, it's one of the ืชื•ืœื“ื•ืช, it's asur, chayav, or ืžืฉื™ื˜, or all the other ืžืœืื›ื•ืช that are in the category of ื”ื•ืฆืื”, we see one thing here: you're only chayav if you do an ืขืงื™ืจื” and an ื”ื ื—ื”. You're only chayav if you pick it up from a resting place, let's say ื”ื•ืฆืื”, you're picking up, you make an ืขืงื™ืจื” in the ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“, you take it out into the ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, and you put it down, there has to be an ื”ื ื—ื”. If you didn't do the full ืขืงื™ืจื” and ื”ื ื—ื”, you are not ื—ื™ื™ื‘ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, which means ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, that's not asur. The Rabanan made it an issur. So if a person does only an ืขืงื™ืจื”, or the one that does only the hanachah, is mid'oraita not asur, only the Rabbanan made it asur. The reason they made it asur is because it's a gezeirah that you might come to do a full melachah. If you do only an akirah, we're afraid you'll finish it off. If you do only an hanachah, what are we afraid? You can't finish it off, this is the end. But next time, you might do a full melachah. That's derabbanan only. But mid'oraita, it's only if there's an akirah and an hanachah. The

Why Both Akirah and Hanachah Are Required

question is really, what is the reason behind it? This is what we're going to discuss today. What is the sevara, the reason behind why in order to be chayav mid'oraita you need an akirah and an hanachah? What's the reason? How we know that ื”ื•ืฆืื” ื‘ื›ืœืœ is there, so that we go through the whole thing here in the Gemara, Rashi, Tosafos, that on one hand it was in the Mishkan, like all other melachot, but that's not good enough because it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, as we discussed and we'll discuss again today even more at length, but there are pesukim. Rashi brings one pasuk, Tosafos brings another pasuk, and then Tosafos says we have both pesukim, so we know where there is an issur of hotzaah. But what's the nekudah of why you have to have an akirah and an hanachah? If the melachah is hotzaah, the melachah is you're not allowed to carry out from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, or you're not allowed to bring from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“, what is the reason why it is that you have to have, you're only chayav if there is an akirah and an hanachah? Where do we know ื‘ื›ืœืœ that there has to be an akirah and an hanachah? Where do we see it? From the ืคืกื•ืงื™ื that Rashi and Tosafot bring, from those two ืคืกื•ืงื™ื, it just says you're not allowed to carry out, you're not allowed to carry from one ืจืฉื•ืช to another. Where does it say, what's the ืžืงื•ืจ, where does it say that you have to have an ืขืงื™ืจื” and an ื”ื ื—ื” and then the ืื™ืกื•ืจ is there ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, otherwise it's not ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื? Where is the ืžืงื•ืจ for this? So,

Rashiโ€™s Explanation of the Akirahโ€‘Hanachah Requirement

Rashi on ื“ืฃ ื’' ืขืžื•ื“ ื', almost the end of the ืขืžื•ื“, when the Gemara says that a ื™ื“ is not called ื”ื ื—ื”, whatever, so therefore Rashi says, since it's not in a resting place, ื”ื™ืœื›ืš ื›ื™ ืืคืงื” ืœื ืขืงืจ ืžื™ื“ื™, if it's not resting and when you took it out, it's not called an ืขืงื™ืจื”, because an ืขืงื™ืจื” means you're picking it up from a resting place, and Rashi adds these few words: ื•ืื™ืŸ ื“ืจืš ื”ื•ืฆืื” ื‘ืœื ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”. Without an ืขืงื™ืจื” and ื”ื ื—ื” is not the ื“ืจืš of taking things out, of carrying out. It comes out from Rashi that Rashi gives us here like a little insight, where is the source of, what's the reason why in order to be ื—ื™ื™ื‘ you have to have an ืขืงื™ืจื” and ื”ื ื—ื”? So, Rashi says why: because otherwise it's not the ื“ืจืš of the ืžืœืื›ื”. It's not the ื“ืจืš of carrying something out unless you pick it up from something and you put it down in the first ืจืฉื•ืช and you put it down in the second ืจืฉื•ืช. Now, in this Rashi, there are two ways we can learn ืคืฉื˜ in Rashi, based on a similar thing in Tosafot.

Tosafot on the Fourโ€‘Handbreadth Requirement

Tosafot ื“ืฃ ื“ืณ, when the Gemara says another thing, that besides the fact that you have to have an ืขืงื™ืจื” and an ื”ื ื—ื” to be ื—ื™ื™ื‘, there's another detail here: the akirah and the hanachah have to be on a ืžืงื•ื ื“ืณ ืขืœ ื“ืณ. The akirah has to be, you have to pick it up from an area which is four by four, four tefachim by four tefachim. And when is it called a hanachah? If you put it down on an area which is four by four. Where do we get that from? What's the makor for such a thing? So here, Tosafos on ื“ืฃ ื“ืณ, ื“ื™ื‘ื•ืจ ื”ืžืชื—ื™ืœ ื•ื”ื ื‘ืขื™ื ืŸ ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” ืžืขืœ ืžืงื•ื ื“ืณ, ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช, ืื•ืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ื ื• ืชื, ื“ืื™ืŸ ืจื’ื™ืœื•ืช ืœื”ื ื™ื— ื—ืคืฅ ื‘ืคื—ื•ืช ืžื“ืณ. It's not common to put something down on an area which is less than ื“ืณ ื˜ืคื—ื™ื. ื•ื›ืŸ ื”ื™ื” ืžืกืชืžื ื‘ืžืฉื›ืŸ. So probably it was in the Mishkan like that. So here Tosafos also says this vort, that how do you know it has to be akirah and hanachah from a place of ื“ืณ? So he says two points: because that's the derech, you don't usually put down something on a place which is less than ื“ืณ, and probably that's how it was in the Mishkan. Now, that Tosafos we can learn two ways: we can learn Tosafos gives you two reasons, two separate reasons why how do we know that you have to have akirah and hanachah on a ืžืงื•ื ื“ืณ. One reason is because that's the derech. If that's the derech of what you usually do, so that's how the melachah is, because every melachah, anything you're only chayav if you do it k'derech. That's bichlal a klal. Every melachah, you're only chayav mid'oraita if you do it the normal way. If you do something shelo k'derech, not the normal way, if you learn ื”ืœื›ื•ืช ืฉื‘ืช, you do it with a shinui, you do it with a change, you do it what the Gemara calls sometimes k'le'achar yad, with the back of your hand, you're not chayav mid'oraita. So every melachah you're only chayav if you do it k'derech. Since it's the derech to do it on ื“ืณ ืขืœ ื“ืณ, so if you did it less than ื“ืณ ืขืœ ื“ืณ, you're not chayav. So m'deoraita you're only chayav ื“ืณ ืขืœ ื“ืณ. That's one reason, and a second reason Tosafos says, probably it was like that in the Mishkan, and if it was like that in the Mishkan, obviously that's the way the melachah is, because the melachot we know from the Mishkan. That's one way to learn Tosafos, that Tosafos is telling us two separate sevarot how we know that it has to be ื“ืณ ืขืœ ื“ืณ. Or you could learn that Tosafos means one thing: the ืขื™ืงืจ ืงื•ื•ืขื˜ืฉ is that it was like that in the Mishkan, and since that's how it was in the Mishkan, that's how the melachah is. How do you know it was like that in the Mishkan? Where does it say that in the Torah? Where does it say in Gemara? Where does it say it was like that in the Mishkan? That's why Tosafos gives an introduction: since it is the derech, it's not ืจื’ื™ืœ otherwise, so mistama this is how it was in the Mishkan, because in the Mishkan they did everything normal, they didn't do it crazy, they did it normal. But the main thing is the vort it was in the Mishkan. So there you can learn two ways, whether it's two two two reasons or one. The same thing we could go back to our din. We said that Rashi says how do we know b'klal that you need an an akirah and an hanachah? So Rashi says, because ืื™ืŸ ื“ืจืš ื”ื•ืฆืื” ื‘ืœื ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, that's not the derech. So you could learn Rashi, what Rashi means is like this: it's not the derech, and since it's not the derech to pick up, to carry without akirah and hanachah, mistama it was in the Mishkan like that. Rashi doesn't say it, but it's only normal. And what Rashi means is that's how it was in the Mishkan. And since in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ it was an ืขืงื™ืจื” and an ื”ื ื—ื”, so that's how we know that it has to have an ืขืงื™ืจื” and an ื”ื ื—ื”. Or you could learn, Rashi doesn't mean the ืžืฉื›ืŸ, Rashi means ื›ื“ืจืš, ืคืฉื•ื˜. It's a derech to have an ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, and therefore you're only ื—ื™ื™ื‘ if you do the ืžืœืื›ื” ื›ื“ืจืš, if you do the ืžืœืื›ื” like a normal derech. And there's nothing to do with the ืžืฉื›ืŸ, Rashi doesn't mention the ืžืฉื›ืŸ. Whichever way we're going to learn is not understood, and it still needs ื‘ื™ืื•ืจ. If you're going to learn that Rashi means that it was in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ, that how do we know that you need an ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” for the ืžืœืื›ื” of ื”ื•ืฆืื” is because that's how it was in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ, it's also not understood. Not every detail that was in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ we learn out to the ืžืœืื›ื•ืช. We only take from the ืžืฉื›ืŸ those details that we understand play a role in what the ืžืœืื›ื” is all about. Things which don't play a role in what the ืžืœืื›ื” is all about, we don't learn out. I'll give you an example: where do we find in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ that they did ื”ื•ืฆืื”? So we learn, you learn Tosafot a little bit of pshat, because the ืœื•ื™ื, when they carried from the wagons, they took it from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื whatever, they carried. Nu, in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ, it was from a wagon. Oh, let's learn out: you're only ื—ื™ื™ื‘ ื”ื•ืฆืื” if you carried from a wagon. We don't do that. Why not? Ai it was in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ! You think every little detail in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ, Ai I think you should only be ื—ื™ื™ื‘ if you're a ืœื•ื™! Cuz the ืœื•ื™ื™ื carried! Makes no sense! Why doesn't it make sense? Cuz it has to make it has to make sense. It has to make sense that you're learning out. What are you learning out from the ืžืฉื›ืŸ? Things which are part of a ืžืœืื›ื”, but ืกืชื ื–ื™ื™ื˜ื™ื’ืข ื–ืื›ืŸ, side things, have nothing to do. The fact that it was a wagon, what's that to do with what the ืžืœืื›ื” is? So the same thing here. Why is an ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”? There must be something in ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” which the ื—ื›ืžื™ื understood is part of the melachah and therefore they compared it to the Mishkan. So we gotta find, but if you're not gonna find any sevara of what's ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, then you can't say, \"Well, it was in the Mishkan.\" Big deal it was in the Mishkan. A melachah we learn from the Mishkan, but ื–ื™ื™ื˜ื™ื’ืข details, we don't. So we still need a ื‘ื™ืื•ืจ: what is behind ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” to say that we learn it from the Mishkan? Even if we'll say the other way, that Rashi doesn't even mean the Mishkan, Rashi means stam, it's not the derech to do to carry things out without ืขืงื™ืจื” and then not putting it down, ื”ื ื—ื”. Umemila, this is the derech. If you don't do it with ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, you did the ืžืœืื›ื” ืฉืœื ื›ื“ืจืš. It's also not understood. Then it has nothing to do with this melachah. That's a side thing, that any melachah you have to do kederech. But from the Gemara is ืžืฉืžืข, from the whole Shas, whenever we talk about ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, this is one of the qualities of ืžืœืื›ืช ื”ื•ืฆืื”. It's not stam a ื–ื™ื™ื˜ื™ื’ืข ื“ื™ืŸ that that you didn't do it just the proper way. L'mai nafka mina? ืœ- ืœืžืฉืœ, what would happen if the derech changes? People stop doing stop carrying, they'd stop doing ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, then he won't have to do an ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” to be chayav? If it's stam a ื–ื™ื™ื˜ื™ื’ืข ื–ืืš that you're only chayav if you do it kederech, then as long as this is a derech, you're chayav. If it's not a ื“ืจืš, then it doesn't matter. It's not like that. ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” is part of the ืžืœืื›ื”. But the shaylah is what is behind ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” that this is part of the ืžืœืื›ื”? Why? So we must we must start thinking, areintrakhtn in what the ืžืœืื›ื” of ื”ื•ืฆืื” is. And then when we think about it, we'll understand what the geder of ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื” is, ื•ืžืžื™ืœื we'll see how it's essential to be able to be ืขื•ื‘ืจ on the ืžืœืื›ื” of ื”ื•ืฆืื”, it's essential to have an ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”. So let's understand.

Defining What Constitutes Hotzaah

Well, obviously, before to get to ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, we have to understand what's ื”ื•ืฆืื”, and then we could go further. In ื”ื•ืฆืื” ื’ื•ืคื, when will ื”ื•ืฆืื” have the quality of ื”ื•ืฆืื”, if you have an ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”? So I already mentioned other shiur, now we're going to go into it at length, Tosafot and all the Rishonim they all call ื”ื•ืฆืื” a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”. ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื” means a bad ืžืœืื›ื”. ื’ืจื•ืขื” means missing ืžืœืื›ื”, ืžืœืื›ื” a shvache melachah, it's not a real ืžืœืื›ื”. Or as I mentioned that the Rambam says that it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ืฉืื™ื ื” ื ืจืื™ืช ืžืœืื›ื”. So ืžืœืื›ื” doesn't look like a ืžืœืื›ื”. What's the real point? Why is it not look like a ืžืœืื›ื”? So the Or Zarua uses a lashon and he says like this: What's the ืžืœืื›ื” here? ื”ื›ื™ ืœื ื—ืคืฅ? ื•ื”ืฉืชื ื—ืคืฅ? What did you do here? And I explained it the last shiur, so I'll just explain it again, that a ืžืœืื›ื” doesn't mean hard labor, like the you carry pick up a heavy weight is not a ืžืœืื›ื”, and ืžืœืื›ื” means if you're doing creative work, you're doing something that makes a shinui in the cheftz, a change in the ื—ืคืฅ that you're doing. That's what a melachah is. Like the Rashba says, the Rashba uses a ืœืฉื•ืŸ when he explains it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, he says that what's the difference if you pick something up and you take it from one corner to another corner in the house, or you just go outside and you take it out? What difference does it make? It's all the same. Tosafot uses a different ืœืฉื•ืŸ, but the ื‘ืืžืช it also means that. He says, ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื” ื”ื™ื, ืžืื™ ืœื™ ืžื™ื™ืชื™ ืžืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ ืœืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, ืžืื™ ืœื™ ืžื™ื™ืชื™ ืžืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ ืœืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“? What's the difference if you take it from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“, it's okay, ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื is no good? Basically there's no, the nekudah, the bottom line is there is nothing that changed in the ื—ืคืฅ. Every other melachah, there is a change. There's a change in the ื—ืคืฅ. When you cook, before it was raw, now it's cooked. You make a fire, there was no fire, now there is a fire. You wrote, before there were no words, now you're writing. Every melachah has a change. The only melachah that doesn't have a change is carrying out. The ื—ืคืฅ is the same. ื•ืžืžื™ืœื, that's why all the ืจืืฉื•ื ื™ื refer to this as a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, and Tosafot says because of that, it's not enough that carrying was in the Mishkan ื•ืžืžื™ืœื this becomes a melachah like every other melachah. Every other melachah, how do you know it's a melachah? From the Mishkan. This is not enough because it doesn't have a quality. There are many things they did in the Mishkan. They walked in the, the ืžื—ื ื” of the Mishkan also. Shouldn't be able to walk? You have to find if it's a melachah, and this has no melachah. So You have to have ืคืกื•ืงื™ื for it, that's why you have to have a special ืคืกื•ืง. Not only that, Tosafot even ask, why do we need two ืคืกื•ืงื™ื? One for the ืขื ื™, one for the ืขืฉื™ืจ, one ืคืกื•ืง for if you're doing the melachah standing in and that's how you're carrying out, and there's another that if you're standing out and you're sticking your hand in, taking out. Ai, why do we need a special ืคืกื•ืง for that? It's all the same, no? Because it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, we can't learn out one from the other, so we need a ืคืกื•ืง. But it's all because of this, because it doesn't have the real ืชื›ื•ื ื”, the real characteristic of what a real melacha is all about. So the Torah says it. After the Torah says it, we know it's asur. The she'eilah is, however, like this. Now that the Torah said it, why is it a melacha? It still is not a melacha. It should be asur, from the Torah we see that it's asur to carry. Rashi quotes the pasuk that Moshe Rabbeinu by the ืžืœืื›ืช ื”ืžืฉื›ืŸ made an announcement: Don't carry your ื ื“ื‘ื•ืช, the donations you're bringing for the Mishkan, don't bring in on Shabbos. Okay, it's a pasuk, you can't carry on Shabbos. Who says it's one of the ืœืดื˜ ืžืœืื›ื•ืช? It could be an issur and not one of the ืœืดื˜ ืžืœืื›ื•ืช. We find that, too. ืชื—ื•ืžื™ืŸ, to walk more than a ืชื—ื•ื ืฉื‘ืช? Machloket. Some say that that even walking more than 2,000 ืืžื” is an ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, some say walking more than 12 ืžื™ืœ is an ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื. But it's an issur on Shabbos, but it's not one of the ืื‘ื•ืช ืžืœืื›ื•ืช, it's not a melacha. There's a separate issur. So we have pesukim, or this pasuk of the ืžืœืื›ืช ื”ืžืฉื›ืŸ by the ื ื“ื‘ื•ืช, or the pasuk that Tosafot brings which is by the ืžืŸ, that Moshe said don't carry a ื›ืœื™ outside on Shabbos to pick up the ืžืŸ. So we know you're not allowed to carry. So if we would say that it has the ืชื›ื•ื ื” of melacha, okay, so it's a melacha. We're saying the ืชื›ื•ื ื” of the melacha doesn't have it, it doesn't have the melacha. So why is it takeh a melacha? ืื™ื™ we have a pasuk? Good, the pasuk tells us that it's asur, so let it be another isur on Shabbos. But why is it called a melacha? Why is it one of the melachot? It doesn't have the ืชื›ื•ื ื” of melacha. And again, the ืชื›ื•ื ื” of melacha is when you make a change. So the pshat, if you could say is, could be like this. I'll ask you a sheilah the opposite way: Why isn't the change of one ืจืฉื•ืช to another called a change? Actually last time when I mentioned, one bachur asked that, it's still a change. It's not a change in the ื—ืคืฅ, but it's a change in the ืจืฉื•ืช. It's a change in what ืจืฉื•ืช it is. Here it's now this ืจืฉื•ืช, and there it's another ืจืฉื•ืช. Because remember, when we say it's only creative work, no one creates anything. The Eibershter creates, we can't create. Ela mai, within our framework, within our teva, changes. So who says it's So they say also, it's a small change. It's from one ืจืฉื•ืช to another. ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“? No, that's because that's the same category. I could see a difference. Two ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“'s is, even though could be from one from this room to that room, but it's all one ืจืฉื•ืช. And this is a different type of ืจืฉื•ืช, so it's a change from one ืจืฉื•ืช to another. The answer is it's not a real change. It's not what we call, if you want to use the ื—ืกื™ื“ื™ืฉืข ืฉืคืจืืš, not a ืคื ื™ืžื™ื•ืช'ื“ื™ืงืข change. It's not an ืืžืช'ืข change. It's a ื—ื™ืฆื•ื ื™ื•ืช'ื“ื™ืงืข change, it's just some, but it's not a real change. And to that nekudah that it has to be a real ืคื ื™ืžื™ื•ืช'ื“ื™ืงืข change, that's where I want to bring in the sicha that I wrote down the title that you should look at the sicha, so I want to go through the nekudah of what the Rebbe says in the sicha in ื—ืœืง ื™ืดื“, which is a yesod in the inyanim of ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช.

Rebbeโ€™s Sicha on the Knot Melacha

There the Rebbe brings it's really a hadran, a siyum on Masechet Shabbat. And at the end of Masechet Shabbat, it talks about the melachah of ืงืฉื™ืจื”, the melachah of making a knot. And the din is that you're not allowed to make a knot mid'Oraita if it's a ืงืฉืจ ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื. If it's a knot that when you made the knot you had in mind for it to stay forever, not to untie it, that's the issur d'Oraita. If you made a knot without those intentions, you made a knot planning to take it off tomorrow, or, what, whatever, it's not asur mid'Oraita, but it's asur mid'rabbanan. Then it says in the Gemara there that if it's tzorech mitzvah, if you need to make this knot for a mitzvah, like there it speaks about a mikveh, then the issur d'rabbanan falls off, it's not asur even mid'rabbanan. To make a ืงืฉืจ ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื, to make a knot that's forever, that's asur d'Oraita, so even for a mitzvah you can't do a you can't do a melachah. But if you're doing it only ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ื ื• ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื, so you're not intending, so it's not asur mid'Oraita, so mid'rabbanan it's asur, but tzorech mitzvah it's mutar. Our Mishnah talks about ื”ื•ืฆืื”. What does the Mishnah tell us? That if you do an ืขืงื™ืจื” and an ื”ื ื—ื”, it's asur mid'Oraita. An ืขืงื™ืจื” itself or ื”ื ื—ื” itself is asur mid'rabbanan. But tzorech mitzvah it's also asur. What's the difference? Adraba, it says in the, in the ืžืคืจืฉื™ื that why did the Mishnah pick the case with an ืขื ื™ and a ื‘ืขืœ ื”ื‘ื™ืช? ืœื›ืื•ืจื”, it's to save words. Instead of saying the guy who's standing inside, and here we use the word a guy who's standing outside, we use the word ืขื ื™ and ื‘ืขืœ ื”ื‘ื™ืช. But they say no, it comes to teach you that even if the guy who's standing there is collecting ืฆื“ืงื”, and you're giving him ืฆื“ืงื”, the ื‘ืขืœ ื”ื‘ื™ืช is giving him ืฆื“ืงื”, and ืฆื“ืงื” is a mitzvah. Even ืฆื•ืจืš ืžืฆื•ื” it's ืืกื•ืจ, not only ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, even the ื“ื™ืŸ ื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ that to make just an ืขืงื™ืจื” or just an ื”ื ื—ื” is also ืืกื•ืจ even for ืฆื•ืจืš ืžืฆื•ื”. So the Rebbe asks the ืฉืืœื”, what's the difference, and usually you can connect the beginning and the

Why the Rabbis Permit Certain Needs but Not Others

end of a masechta, why if it's over there which also there's an ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ, by ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ื ื• ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื, ืฆื•ืจืš ืžืฆื•ื” the ืจื‘ื ืŸ were ืžืชื™ืจ? ืขืงื™ืจื” without an ื”ื ื—ื”, which is also ืื™ืกื•ืจ ื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ, the ืจื‘ื ืŸ were not ืžืชื™ืจ ืฆื•ืจืš ืžืฆื•ื”. What's the difference? So the Rebbe goes into a whole ืืจื™ื›ื•ืช to explain ื‘ื›ืœืœ. Let's ask another ืฉืืœื”: Why isn't ืขืงื™ืจื” without an ื”ื ื—ื” or ื”ื ื—ื” without ืขืงื™ืจื” not ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื of ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ? There's a ื“ื™ืŸ that you're only ื—ื™ื™ื‘, let's say when you eat something ื˜ืจืฃ, you're ื—ื™ื™ื‘ ืžืœืงื•ืช, ื›ืจืช, if you eat a ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ, ื›ื–ื™ืช. Less than that, you don't get punished. Nevertheless, we ืคืกืงืŸ that chatzi shiur, it's if a half a part of the shiur, it's also ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื. It's assur. You just don't get punished, but it's ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื. It's actually machloket in Yoma between Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish. Reish Lakish that ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ. ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื it's takeh you're allowed to eat ื—ื–ื™ืจ as long as it's not a kezayit. The Rabbanan said you can't eat if it's less than a kezayit. And Rabbi Yochanan says ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ ืืกื•ืจ ืžืŸ ื”ืชื•ืจื”. And we pasken like Rabbi Yochanan. That means that if you don't do the full thing, but you do half, you won't get punished, but it'll be ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื.

Mishnahโ€™s View on Akirah Without a Placement

What does our Mishnah say? Our Mishnah says that if you do an ืขืงื™ืจื” without an ื”ื ื—ื”, which is half of the melachah, it's ืžื•ืชืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื. It's patur and ืžื•ืชืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, it's ืคื˜ื•ืจ ืื‘ืœ ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ. Why is it not ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื of chatzi shiur? So the Rabbi answers that chatzi shiur is assur if you do the whole thing, but the whole ืื™ื›ื•ืช of the thing that you're doing is there, the shiur is missing. When you eat ื—ื–ื™ืจ, when you eat a little piece of ื—ื–ื™ืจ, you have the whole concept of ื—ื–ื™ืจ here. What you're missing is the quantity, not the quality. The ื—ื–ื™ืจ is the exact same ื—ื–ื™ืจ if you eat a small piece or a big piece. So you did the whole thing. Ela mai, you're missing the shiur. That's called chatzi shiur. This in our Mishnah is not chatzi shiur, it's ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื”. It's not the pshat you did the whole melacha, but you did half of the shiur. I'll give you an example by ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ. There's a shiur that you're not allowed, there's a din you're not allowed to write on Shabbos. The shiur is two ืื•ืชื™ื•ืช. If you write one ืื•ืช, what's the din? It's ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื. You won't get punished, because that's ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ, because one ืื•ืช is the same melacha as two ืื•ืชื™ื•ืช. It's just the how much. That's where we say ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ is ืืกื•ืจ ืžืŸ ื”ืชื•ืจื”. But here, the melacha is made up of ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, and if you did ืขืงื™ืจื” without ื”ื ื—ื”, you have ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื”, not ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ. And the same thing is, lichorah you can ask a ืฉืืœื” by the ืงืฉืจ also. ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, you're ื—ื™ื™ื‘ on a ืงืฉืจ if it's ืงืฉืจ with a kavanah it should stay forever. If you didn't have the kavanah, it should be ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ. You didn't do the whole melacha. The melacha of ืงืฉื™ืจื” is made up of a few parts: you have to tie it; if you don't tie it, it's not ืงืฉื™ืจื”. In addition to that, in order to be ื—ื™ื™ื‘, you have to have an intention ื‘ืฉืขืช you tie that it's going to be forever. If you're missing that intention, so you're missing part of it, but you did part of it, you did part of the melacha, so why isn't it ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ? The same answer: the melacha, it completely make is made up of both. Half of that, if you're missing that part, it's not ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ, it's ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื”. And in the ื”ืขืจื” the Rebbe even asks that lichorah if you have it for a long time, have in mind forever, that's the shiur, and if you have in mind for two days, it should be chatzi shiur. Why do we say you're missing the melachah? So the answer he gives is that having it forever means this is a knot without a change, and if you have it for a zman, it's with a change. And actually I want to tell you, this is just not noge'a or just make it more interesting, I want to read to you, here I have a copy of the original ืฉื™ื—ื” with the Rebbe's handwriting. Not the original, it's a copy of it, but the ื”ื’ื”ื” that the Rebbe made on the ืฉื™ื—ื”. And lechatchilah it was written a little bit differently. Now I'll read you the difference just just to know that even things that the Rebbe changed, this is what the Rebbe this is what it said before. The ืฉืืœื” was that even though if you have a certain amount of time, it's not ืืกื•ืจ ืžื“ืื•ืจื™ื™ืชื, if you have it forever, it's ืืกื•ืจ. So why isn't ื•ื›ื•ืœื™, ื™ืฉ ืœื•ืžืจ that's ื—ืฆื™ ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ. The ื“ืขืช ืฉื™ืฉืืจ ื›ืŸ ืœืขื•ืœื forever is the ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ, ื•ื›ืฉื—ื•ืฉื‘ ื‘ื“ืขืชื• to take it off after a certain amount, you have the whole thing, but it's only missing the ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ. So originally it said like this: ื–ื” ืื™ื ื•, it's not a ืงืฉื™ื, ื›ื™ ื–ื” ืฉืฆืจื™ืš ืœื”ื™ื•ืช ื‘ื“ืขืชื• ืฉื™ืฉืืจ ื›ืŸ ืœืขื•ืœื, the fact it's supposed to stay forever, ืื™ื ื• ื‘ื’ื“ืจ ื–ืžืŸ ืœื•ืžืจ ืฉืื ื—ื•ืฉื‘ ืฉื™ืฉืืจ ื›ืŸ ืœืื™ื–ื” ื–ืžืŸ, ื”ื•ื ื—ืœืง ืžื”ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ ืฉืœ ื–ืžืŸ. It's not the ืคืฉื˜ there is a ื’ื“ืจ ื–ืžืŸ and if you have in mind for a few days, it's part of that. ื›ื™ ืื ืœืขื•ืœื ื”ื•ื ืกื•ื’ ืื—ืจ ืœื’ืžืจื™, different ืกื•ื’. ื•ืžืžื™ืœื, ืื ืื™ืŸ ื‘ื“ืขืชื• ืฉื™ืฉืืจ ื›ืŸ ืœืขื•ืœื, if you don't plan forever, ื—ืกืจ ื›ืœ ื”ื“ืขืช ืฉืฆืจื™ืš ืœื”ื™ื•ืช, and it's called ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื”. The

Rebbeโ€™s Handwritten Corrections and Their Significance

Rebbe crossed this all out, and the Rebbe wrote different words. The Rebbe wrote that if a ืงืฉืจ ืฉื™ืฉืืจ ื›ืŸ ืœืขื•ืœื, ืขื ื™ื™ื ื• ื”ื•ื ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ืŸ ื‘ื• ืฉื™ื ื•ื™, which is a ื’ื“ืจ ืžื—ื•ื“ืฉ, it's a ื’ื“ืจ different ื’ื“ืจ, ื•ืœื ืงืฉืจ ืฉื™ืชืงื™ื™ื ืจื™ื‘ื•ื™ ื–ืžืŸ ืขื“ ืื™ืŸ ืกื•ืฃ. In other words, if you keep it forever, it's not the ืคืฉื˜ it's a longer time than keeping it for a day, that you can say a day is part of the a longer time is a shiur, a big shiur and this a small shiur. So before it said ืœืขื•ืœื it's a different ืกื•ื’. So here the Rebbe changed the words, different ืกื•ื’ he says, it's not in the zman that we're talking about, it's the ืขื ื™ื™ืŸ: ืื™ืŸ ื‘ื• ืฉื™ื ื•ื™. And this is a different so a different thing has ื™ืฉ ื‘ื• ืฉื™ื ื•ื™. This is the second first haga'ah, and then the second haga'ah, the Rebbe added a whole bunch of words here, and he wrote ืœื”ืขื™ืจ from where it says the ื’ื“ืจ of ื ืฆื—ื™ื•ืช that even ื™ืฉ ืœื•ืžืจ ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” there's a ื’ื“ืจ of ื ืฆื—ื™ื•ืช, ืœื”ืขื™ืจ Teshuvos Rashba, a whole ืืจื™ื›ื•ืช. You look at the sichah, you look at the he'arah, I think it's he'arah 19 there, you look at it. But the bottom line is that the Rebbe explains that it's not chatzi shiur, it's ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื”. But then the

Distinguishing Halfโ€‘Melacha from Halfโ€‘Measure in Shabbat

Rebbe goes on further and he says that between the two that by ืฉื‘ืช ืขืงื™ืจื” without an ื”ื ื—ื” is ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื” and a ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ื ื• ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื is also ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื”, between the two it's also a difference. ืขืงื™ืจื” without an ื”ื ื—ื” is ื—ืฆื™ ืžืœืื›ื”, it's not chatzi shiur. You don't have the whole shiur, you don't have the whole ืžืœืื›ื” there, it's half of the ืžืœืื›ื”. ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ื ื• ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื is not the ืคืฉื˜ that you have half of the ืžืœืื›ื”, you don't even have half of the ืžืœืื›ื”. He's making it into three categories: you have something which you have the whole thing, like if you write one ot you have the whole ืžืœืื›ื”, half of the shiur. Then there is a certain thing like ืขืงื™ืจื” ื‘ืœื ื”ื ื—ื”, you have half of the ืžืœืื›ื”. Then you have a third category that you have nothing of the ืžืœืื›ื”. If you don't have in mind for the ืงืฉืจ to be forever, it doesn't have any part of the ืžืœืื›ื” whatsoever, not even half of the ืžืœืื›ื”.

Understanding the Nature of a Knot (Kesher) in Halacha

Why? And the Rebbe explains a very ื”ื’ื™ื•ื 'ื“ื™ืงืข ืขื ื™ื™ืŸ that what's ื˜ื™ื™ื˜ืฉ ืงืฉืจ? A keshirah means two things to be tied together. If you don't have in mind for that to stay, you plan to take it apart, it's not tied. You have two pieces of of thread that you put together. If you take two pieces of thread you put put them like this, close to each other, so the peshat you have a shtikel kesher? You have nothing. If you tie it, it's the same thing, because the real meaning of a knot is if it's going to stay without a change. And mimela the Rebbe is mechadesh that's why the aveirah of a kesher miderabbanan of a ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ื ื• ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื is a lesser than akirah without an hanachah. They're both miderabbanan. But akirah without an hanachah, it's at least a chatzi melachah. So mid'oraita it's not chatzi shiur, it's not asur, but it's chatzi melachah. ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ื ื• ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื is also asur miderabbanan, but that's not even a chatzi melachah, it's less than chatzi melachah. Rabbanan made it stam because it looks like a kesher, but it's not even chatzi melachah. And that's the reason why when it came to ืฆื•ืจืš ืžืฆื•ื” by ืงืฉืจ ืฉืื™ื ื• ืฉืœ ืงื™ื™ืžื, ื“ืืก ืื™ื– ื ืฉื•ื•ืื›ืข ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื”, so shavach that they allowed it ืฆื•ืจืš ืžืฆื•ื”. ืžื” ืฉืื™ืŸ ื›ืŸ ืขืงื™ืจื” without an hanachah didn't even allow it ืฆื•ืจืš ืžืฆื•ื”, because after all, it has part of the melachah, even though mid'oraita it's not asur. What am I bringing all this in? First of all, to chazor over the sichah. But not ืœืฆื•ืจืš ืคืฉื•ื˜ the inyan to learn the Rebbe's sichot, that's that we have our own time. That's separate shiur. This is pashut because the sichah is kedai to learn the sichah anyway, go through with the he'arot, as a ื”ืงื“ืžื” to ืžืกื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช, to the beginning of ืขืงื™ืจื” and ื”ื ื—ื”, all this because it goes into a lot of ืคืจื˜ื™ื there with the ื”ืขืจื•ืช. It's it's ื›ื“ืื™ to learn that, so it's ื›ื“ืื™ to know it. But I'm bringing it in to show that from the way the Rebbe explains there the geder of ืงืฉืจ, why is it not a melachah at all? Because it's not a real ืงืฉืจ, which means it's all follows the logic that what's a melachah if you do a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ืคื ื™ืžื™ ื•ืืžื™ืชื™. What's called a melachah? A melachah is called a shinui. So if you put it together and you tie it even, but because it's not a ืคื ื™ืžื™'ื“ื™ืงืข ืงืฉืจ, ื•ื”ื ืจืื™ื” you're planning to take it apart, so the Rebbe says it's not even part of the melachah. Why? So this all follows this nekudah that what's called a ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช is what's a melachah if there is a shinui. And since ื”ื•ืฆืื” doesn't do a shinui, ืื™ื™, I said before it doesn't do a shinui, it does, you take it from this ืจืฉื•ืช to that ืจืฉื•ืช. So it's also a change! But it's not a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ืคื ื™ืžื™, it's not a real change, not a change in the thing. Every other melachah there's a change in the thing: it got cooked, you made a fire, there's a change in the thing. Here, it's a superficial change. So if the melachot would not need epes a ืคื ื™ืžื™'ื“ื™ืง, a real change, so they say, okay, as long as there is some change it's a melachah. But now we see from here the Rebbe's zugang, it has to be a real change, and in this case the kavanah to keep it forever makes it a real change, and it's the kavanah that makes it, because the whole thing is epes ื ื”ื’ื™ื•ื 'ื“ื™ืงืข ื–ืืš, ื ื–ืืš ืื™ืŸ ืงืืค, ืžืžื™ืœื that's why this is a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”. Okay. So now we know that ืžืœืื›ืช ื”ื•ืฆืื” is a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, it's missing ื’ื“ืจ ืžืœืื›ื”. Then the she'eilah I ask, if it's missing the ื’ื“ืจ ืžืœืื›ื”, ื˜ืืงืข now I'm explaining because it doesn't have a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ืคื ื™ืžื™, just like by a ืงืฉืจ, if it doesn't have a real shinui, it's nothing, it's not even part of the melachah. So why is it takeh a melachah? I'm going back to the question I asked before. So why is it a melachah? Ai, we have pesukim? Okay, if you have a pasuk, so it's asur! Let it be asur on Shabbos because we have pesukim that it's asur, but why is it a melachah if it's missing the ื’ื“ืจ of melachah? Where do you have the ื’ื“ืจ of ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ in it? Therefore, what we have to say is, well we have to say, what we could say is, that's where ืขืงื™ืจื” and ื”ื ื—ื” come in. If you do the ื”ื•ืฆืื” through an ืขืงื™ืจื” and then a ื”ื ื—ื” in the other ืจืฉื•ืช, that makes it into a change, and that's why you have to have an ืขืงื™ืจื” and a ื”ื ื—ื”. Why does that make it into a change? Why did the ื—ื›ืžื™ื call it ืขืงื™ืจื”? I always had a question. You know what ืขืงื™ืจื” means? To tear out, to uproot. Uproot? The ื“ื™ืŸ is you have to pick it up and you have to put it down. Should have been called ื”ื’ื‘ื”ื”! You ืžื’ื‘ื™ื”, you have to pick it up and you have to be ืžื ื™ื—. When we talk about ืงื ื™ื ื™ื there's a ืงื ื™ืŸ ื”ื’ื‘ื”ื”, you have to pick it up. Why ืขืงื™ืจื”? The ื—ื›ืžื™ื understand this here, that in ื’ืฉืžื™ื•ืช ื˜ืืงืข it's not a real, it doesn't look like a real melachah. In ื”ื’ื™ื•ืŸ, when something lays on a place, it becomes as if, in abstract thinking, it becomes ืžื•ืฉืจืฉ in that place. It's as if it becomes part of that place. When you pick it up, you know what you're doing? You're uprooting it from the place! And when you put it down, you're ื›ืื™ืœื• ื ื™ืžื replanting in the place. There is a ื“ื™ืŸ on Shabbos we find to be ืงื•ื ื” ืฉื‘ื™ืชื”. If you're in a place, you're ืงื•ื ื” this becomes your place. By ืชื—ื•ืžื™ืŸ, you make an ืขื™ืจื•ื‘ ืชื—ื•ืžื™ืŸ, you put down your food there, that becomes your place and now you can walk another 2,000 ืืžื” on Shabbos. You're koneh. You learned last year in Bava Metzia, we learned the ืงื ื™ืŸ ื“' ืืžื•ืช. And what does it say ืงื ื™ืŸ ื“' ืืžื•ืช? I'm sure wherever you learned last year, when you learned the din of ื“' ืืžื•ืช, you learned this the ืขื ื™ืŸ ืฉืœ ืชื•ืจืช ื”ื—ืกื™ื“ื•ืช where the Rebbe brings the ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื™ื, the Ramban and the Ran, Avnei Miluim brings there. What's the ื’ื“ืจ of ืงื ื™ืŸ ื“' ืืžื•ืช? Is the pshat that the ืชื™ืงื ื• ื—ื›ืžื™ื made a din that an object that falls into your ื“' ืืžื•ืช ื‘ื›ืš you're koneh it, or they made your ื“' ืืžื•ืช like your chatzer? It becomes your chatzer. Becomes yours. Basically that there's a nekudah, there is a possibility inyan of wherever you are that's your place and ื›ืื™ืœื• ื ืืžืจ ื›ืืŸ ื ืžืฆื ื›ืืŸ ื”ื™ื”. This is it. I mentioned the other day the Baal HaMaor where he writes what's the inyan of not carrying ื“' ืืžื•ืช ื‘ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื. He says because every person has his ื“' ืืžื•ืช and that that's like your ืจืฉื•ืช. When you carry out of ื“' ืืžื•ืช, it's similar to ืžืจืฉื•ืช ืœืจืฉื•ืช. It's taka ื”ืœื›ื” ืœืžืฉื” ืžืกื™ื ื™, otherwise we wouldn't know it, but lefoal, ืืฃ ืขืœ ื’ื‘ ื“ื”ืœื›ื” ืœืžืฉื” ืžืกื™ื ื™, der Baal HaMaor gives this reason, it's taka shein, but all I'm trying to say is that when something is laying someplace, in theory, this is its place, it's ืงื•ื ื” ืฉื‘ื™ืชื”, it's this. When you pick it up, you're ื›ืื™ืœื• uprooting it. And then when you put something down, you're putting it down, you're putting it back into as if you're you're you're planting it in. Ah? Because it's not ื–ืจื™ืขื”. Akirah fits ื–ืจื™ืขื”? It's not planting, obviously. So it comes out like this. No one will ask how come there's a melachah. One of the ืžืœืื›ื•ืช is ืงืฆื™ืจื”. You're not allowed to cut something off from the ground. It's a real change. Why is it a change? Before it was here, now it's not. Everyone understands, before it was connected, it was part of the ground, so to speak, and now you picked it out. Same thing with ื–ืจื™ืขื”, you're planting. So here it's not like that obviously, ื‘ื’ืฉืžื™ื•ืช, because if someone will ask me, but ื‘ื’ืฉืžื™ื•ืช it's not, I have nothing to answer. So don't bother asking. Because we're trying to go a little bit beyond the ื’ืฉืžื™ื•ืช. It's not chassidus, nigleh, but So, b'poel mamash you're not doing anything, but just like over there when you're uprooting something it's a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ืืžื™ืชื™, it's a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ืคื ื™ืžื™, so too here, when you do an ืขืงื™ืจื”, it's called ืขืงื™ืจื”. That makes the ืžืœืื›ื” into a ืžืœืื›ื”. So whether we say that's how it's found in the ืžืฉื›ืŸ or if we say that's the ื“ืจืš, it's not a ื–ื™ื™ื˜ื™ื’ืข ื–ืืš. This is what makes the ืžืœืื›ื” into a ืžืœืื›ื”. Otherwise, the ืžืœืื›ื” of of ื”ื•ืฆืื” wouldn't be a ืžืœืื›ื”. Because we need a ืคื ื™ืžื™, we need a real ืฉื™ื ื•ื™. Now, to

The Requirement of a Real Change (Shinui) for a Melacha

go back for a second, this that we need a real ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ makes sense, because like we said, the whole inyan of Shabbos is the Eibershter rested from creating the world, so he wants us to rest also from creating anything. So it has to be a real ืฉื™ื ื•ื™. This din, inyan of real ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ some people might have think is connected to the other chakira, what the ื’ื“ืจ of ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช is. And I want to say it's not noga. We have a chakira in ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช: Is the ikar the ื ืคืขืœ or is the ikar the ืคื•ืขืœ or the ืคืขื•ืœื”? What is it that the Torah didn't want? It shouldn't happen? The ื ืคืขืœ shouldn't happen? When you write, what happens? When you write, the words are the Torah doesn't want you to make words written? Or the Torah doesn't want you to do the ืคืขื•ืœื”, the act of writing? And that's a big shaila. There's actually a letter from the Rebbe printed in Likkutei Sichos, printed in in Igros, we even know who he wrote it to, he wrote it to Rabbi Reichport, where he wanted to say, especially by ืžืœืื›ืช ื›ืชื™ื‘ื” that the ืขื™ืงืจ is the ื ืคืขืœ, the ืขื™ืงืจ is the ืคืขื•ืœื”, the ืขื™ืงืจ is the writing. And the Rebbe says, not so sure bichlal by ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช whether the ืขื™ืงืจ is the ืคืขื•ืœื” or the ื ืคืขืœ, by ื›ืชื™ื‘ื”, for sure it's not the ืคืขื•ืœื”, the ื ืคืขืœ. He writes to him, he wanted to write, I think that the ืขื™ืงืจ is the the ืคืขื•ืœื”. Where do we see? The Rebbe brings, open a din: ื ื•ื˜ืœ ื’ื’ื• ืฉืœ ื—' ื—ื™ื™ื‘ ืžืฉื•ื ื›ื•ืชื‘. You know how a ื—' is written in the Torah? There's a ื•' and a ื–' and there's a little roof connects the ื•' and the ื–' and turns into a ื—'. If you didn't write anything, you took off, you erased that little roof of the ื—', and what turned out? A ื•' and a ื–', you're ื—ื™ื™ื‘ for ื›ื•ืชื‘ ืฉืชื™ ืื•ืชื™ื•ืช. You didn't write two ืื•ืชื™ื•ืช. You didn't even write bichlal! You erased, you didn't write! But you caused two ืื•ืชื™ื•ืช to be written. So the Rebbe says, from this din we see that by ื›ืชื™ื‘ื”, for sure the ืขื™ืงืจ is the ื ืคืขืœ. But bichlal there's a ืฉืืœื” which one it is. I

Rav Piekarskiโ€™s Insight on the Primary Action of Shabbat

once heard from Rabbi Piekarski, the ืจืืฉ ื™ืฉื™ื‘ื” of 770, he always used to iberchazern a vort from his Rebbe, he says, \"Ikh hob gehert fun mayn Rebbe'n\", his Rebbe was the Kozhiglover Rav, who was a ืชืœืžื™ื“ of the Avnei Nezer. Always chazar, every shiur, there wasn't one shiur, just like we try to have every shiur should have a Likutei Sichos, every shiur by him had or the Kozhiglover Rav or the Avnei Nezer, every shiur. So he once said a good vort, I don't know his own or he said an interesting thing: If you look in the Mishnah on ื“ืฃ ืข\"ื’, which tells us all the ืื‘ื•ืช ืžืœืื›ื•ืช, I'll read you. ืื‘ื•ืช ืžืœืื›ื•ืช ืืจื‘ืขื™ื ื—ืกืจ ืื—ืช: ื”ื–ื•ืจืข, the one that plants, ื”ื—ื•ืจืฉ, the one that plows, ื”ืงื•ืฆืจ, the one that cuts, ื”ืื•ืคื”, the one that bakes. The Rambam also has the same list of ืื‘ื•ืช ืžืœืื›ื•ืช. You know what he does? He writes like this: avot melachot are what? ื”ื–ืจื™ืขื” ื•ื”ื—ืจื™ืฉื” ื•ื”ืงืฆื™ืจื” ื•ื”ืืคื™ื™ื”. The planting, the plowing, the cutting, the baking. The Mishnah says the planter, the one that plows, the one that plants, the one that bakes, and the Rambam changes. What does he do it for? ื”ื—ืจื™ืฉื”. So he says the Rambam wants to tell us that it's not the pe'ulah, it's not the one the baking that is the issur, the the one that bakes, it's the baking, the afiyah, the one that that's what happening. So in order to tell us that, the Rambam changed his lashon. It's a good vort. Huh? Right. Let me tell you a klal. There are certain, and this is noga to know, it's noga to know bichlal, there are certain diyukim that you can't ask a she'eilah, if you write one way, why didn't you write the other way, why is it better the other way? If you write ื”ื–ื•ืจืข, doesn't mean that it's not the ื ืคืขืœ, I mean you could write either way. When are we medayek such diyukim? If there's a change. If the Gemara says one way, the Mishnah says one way, which you can't, and comes the Rambam and he tries to follow the ืœืฉื•ื ื•ืช of the Gemara and the Mishnah and he changes, then you got to find a reason. You don't need a reason for the Mishnah. In other words, if the Mishnah would have written ื”ื–ืจื™ืขื” ื•ื”ื—ืจื™ืฉื”, I wouldn't say that it's a ืจืื™ื” that it's ื ืคืขืœ. It could be either way. You just write. But the Rambam went and he came and he chose bedavka now to write, he's telling us something. Oh, here he's telling us you should know. So he is basically telling us a pshat in the Mishnah. He's not different than the Mishnah. He's telling us a pshat in the Mishnah. When the Mishnah said ื”ื–ื•ืจืข, I'm telling you it means ื”ื–ืจื™ืขื”. In the Mishnah, so we don't know which way, but when you change it, you know. And this is noge'a a lot of times, a lot of times people ask a she'eilah when you make a you say the ื˜\"ื–, how come he doesn't write like that, is cuz he wrote it first time, there's no no no no deal, but when you're changing, he doesn't say a word, he just says instead of the one that plants, it's the planting. Instead of saying the one that plows, it's the plowing. The plowing is the ื ืคืขืœ, the one that plows is doing the ma'aseh. So by changing it, he's trying to hint to us that the ikar of Shabbos is a ื ืคืขืœ. What I'm trying to say, that lichorah you could think, milah if the ืขื™ืงืจ ืฉื‘ืช is a ื ืคืขืœ, then you need a real shinui. ื ืคืขืœ means something should be done, and if not a real shinui, then it's not something that's really done, nothing was really

Understanding ืคื•ืขืœ vs ื ืคืขืœ in Shabbat Law

done. But if you're saying the ืคื•ืขืœ, ืœื›ืื•ืจื” you might think who says it has to be a real shinui? The answer is, but that's, it's not true, I'm just ืคืจืื•ื•ืื ื™ื ื’. Even that you can say, when are you chayav for the ืคื•ืขืœ, when is the ืคืขื•ืœื” ื—ื™ื™ื‘? If you did a real ืคืขื•ืœื”, a real shinui. If it's ื ืคืขืœ, it's better, it's stronger, it makes more, you know, has more to it because there's nothing that really happened. Which, by the way, when we're talking about ืคื•ืขืœ and ื ืคืขืœ, there are some who want to learn that this, whether it's ืคื•ืขืœ or ื ืคืขืœ, is a machloket between the Alter Rebbe and the Chatam Sofer. In ืกื™ืžืŸ ืจืž\"ื’, the Alter Rebbe says you're not allowed to tell a goy to do a melachah. Why? Because ื™ืฉ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช ืœืขื›ื•\"ื ืœื—ื•ืžืจื ืžื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ. Because if you tell a goy to do a melachah for you, he is your shaliach. And the din is ืฉืœื•ื—ื• ืฉืœ ืื“ื ื›ืžื•ืชื•. So when he does the melachah on Shabbos and he's your shaliach, it's like you did it. That's why you're not allowed. What does that mean? I have a few problems.

Can You Appoint a Goy as Your Agent?

Number one, ืื™ืŸ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช ืœืขื›ื•\"ื. You can't make a goy a shaliach. Number two, ืื™ืŸ ืฉืœื™ื— ืœื“ื‘ืจ ืขื‘ื™ืจื”. Even if you make a you ask a Yid to do a melachah on Shabbos, you're not chayav, it's not you, nothing to do with you, cuz if you're doing an ื“ื‘ืจื™ ื”ืจื‘ ื•ื“ื‘ืจื™ ื”ืชืœืžื™ื“... So what's the ืคืฉื˜ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช? But so the Alter Rebbe says, it's only mid'rabbanan, and it's only lechumra. Forget about it, b'etzem real ื“ื™ืŸ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช doesn't apply, not for a goy, not for Shabbos, but ื™ืฉ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช ืœืขื›ื•\"ื ืœื—ื•ืžืจื ืžื“ืจื‘ื ืŸ. Mid'rabbanan made a din. Then there are more reasons for ืืžื™ืจื” ืœืขื›ื•\"ื why you can't tell to do a melachah. The Chatam Sofer argues and he said there is no ื“ื™ืŸ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช by a goy. It's not because of shlichut, there's other reasons. Now we have to know why are there so many reasons for ืืžื™ืจื” ืœืขื›ื•\"ื, but that's a, but he doesn't agree. What's the machloket? Why doesn't he agree? Why doesn't the Chatam Sofer hold that there is a ื“ื™ืŸ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช by ืืžื™ืจื” ืœืขื›ื•\"ื? So, some want to learn, I don't know if it's really so, some want to learn that the reason is, ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช is whether the ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช is the ืคื•ืขืœ, ืคื•ืขืœ or the ืคื•ืขืœ or the ื ืคืขืœ. If the ืขื™ืงืจ of ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช it shouldn't happen, then even though you didn't do it, but it's through you that it happened, you told the ื’ื•ื™ to do the melachah and he did the melachah, so you are the cause for the melachah to be done. And if ืขื™ืงืจ ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช is the ื ืคืขืœ, the ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช was done through you. Okay, mid'oraita it's not ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช, so you're not at fault, but the ืจื‘ื ืŸ said it. But if the din of ืžืœืื›ืช ืฉื‘ืช is the ืคื•ืขืœ, you shouldn't work, so the lashon of the Chasam Sofer is, ื•ื”ืจื™ ื’ื•ืคื™ื” ื ื—, the Torah says ื™ื ื•ื—, you have to rest. You rested. The goy did it. So the Chasam Sofer holds that you can't even say ืœื—ื•ืžืจื ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช there, because it doesn't, it's not ืžืชื™ื™ื—ืก to you, it has nothing to do with you. So it's possible that this is the ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช, that he holds that it's the ืคื•ืขืœ, and therefore there's not ืฉื™ื™ืš ื™ืฉ ืฉืœื™ื—ื•ืช ืœืขื›ื•\"ื by ืฉื‘ืช ืœื—ื•ืžืจื, and the Alter Rebbe says ืขื™ืงืจ is the ื ืคืขืœ, and ืžืžื™ืœื since you are the cause, so it's it's ืฉื™ื™ื›ื•ืช to make this ื“ื™ืŸ of the melachah. So al kol panim, but whatever way we learn, I'm trying to say, we understand that in

What Makes a Melacha a Real Change?

order to be a real melachah, it has to be a real ืฉื™ื ื•ื™. In order to be a real ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ by ื”ื•ืฆืื”, there is no real ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ because you only change ืจืฉื•ื™ื•ืช, you didn't make a real change. If you didn't make a real change, it's not a ืžืœืื›ื”. So the only way it could be a ืžืœืื›ื” is ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”. ืื™ื™ it's not a real ื’ืฉืžื™ื•ืชื“ื™ืงืข ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ื”ื ื—ื”, it's a ื”ื’ื™ื•ื ื“ื™ืงืข ืขืงื™ืจื”. But that's enough by Shabbos. And by Shabbos we find, and especially by the ืžืœืื›ื” of ื”ื•ืฆืื”, we find that this ื ืงื•ื“ื” of your ืžื—ืฉื‘ื”ื“ื™ืงืข ื–ืื›ืŸ should do it. ื›ื“ืจืš like Tosafos brings in ื“ืฃ ื“' ืขืžื•ื“ ื‘', quotes, ืœื’ื‘ื™ the Gemara there, Tosafos quotes the Gemara, that it says in Eruvin: ืžื—ืฉื‘ืชื• ืžืฉื•ื™ื” ืœื™ื” ืžืงื•ื. A place which doesn't have a ื’ื“ืจ of ืžืงื•ื, whatever the case is, but your ืžื—ืฉื‘ื” by ื”ื•ืฆืื” he's talking about, you put it down and you have in mind to put it down, he says, ื“ืงืืžืจ ื”ืชื, I'll read you the whole thing, it says: ืงืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื™ื•ืกืฃ: ื”ื™ืฉืชื™ืŸ ื•ืจืง, if a person spit, ื”ื™ืฉืชื™ืŸ or ืจืง, spit out from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, ื—ื™ื™ื‘ ื—ื˜ืืช.

Tosafot on Machshavah, ืžืงื•ื, and Akirah

Tosafos brings this, yeah, ืื‘ืœ ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื™ื•ืกืฃ, right in the beginning. So the Gemara asked, ื•ื‘ืื™ื ืŸ ืžืงื•ื ื“' ื•ืœื™ื›ื, has to be, come from a ืžืงื•ื ื“', it's not, as we said before, the ืขืงื™ืจื” has to come from a ืžืงื•ื ื“'. ืžืฉื ื™, the Gemara answers: ืžื—ืฉื‘ืชื• ืžืฉื•ื™ื” ืœื™ื” ืžืงื•ื. The fact that your ืžื—ืฉื‘ื” wanted it to be that way, that makes into a ืžืงื•ื. What do you mean it makes into a ืžืงื•ื? It's it's only a machshavah, it's Because by, it comes to ืžืœืื›ืช ื”ื•ืฆืื”, it all fits to what I'm saying, that ืžืœืื›ืช ื”ื•ืฆืื”, the whole ืžืœืื›ืช ื”ื•ืฆืื” is purely in your machshavah that it's you, it's a it's a ื”ื’ื™ื•ื ื“ื™ืงืข ื–ืืš. So therefore, just like the akirah is not a real akirah, but it's enough because it's has it's a a a ื”ื’ื™ื•ื ื“ื™ืงืข ืขืงื™ืจื”, so the machshavah could also make it into a ืžืงื•ื ืœื’ื‘ื™ the ืขืงื™ืจื” ื•ืœื’ื‘ื™ the hanachah. Why do you ever need ื“' ืขืœ ื“'? ื”ื? Why do you ever need ื“' ืขืœ ื“'? Your machshavah... That's Tosafos' kashya, no, that's what, that's the Tosafos. It's exactly what Tosafos is talking about. Likh'orah according to this, you'd never need ื“' ืขืœ ื“', cause ืžื—ืฉื‘ืชื• ืžืฉื•ื™ื” ืœื™ื” ืžืงื•ื. This is exactly the It's all because the geder of machshavah is important here because the whole thing, let's call it, is a ืžื—ืฉื‘ื”ื“ื™ืงืข type of of melachah. And that's why it remains a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”. Likh'orah, according to what I'm saying is right, that because there's akirah that makes it into a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™, so it's not a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”. Farkert, so why is that a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”? It's still a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, because technically speaking, it's not. But it's a ืžื—ืฉื‘ื”ื“ื™ืงืข ื–ืืš, so it's a geder, it has, we understand the ื’ื“ืจ ืžืœืื›ื”. And if not for the pasuk, we taka wouldn't accept this ื”ื™ื’ื™ื•ืŸ. But after the pasuk tells us and that and and we see it was in the Mishkan, we could understand that this should be a melachah, because the machshavah was what counts here. This is also connected to something else, where we want to show that here the machshavah is what counts because of this reason. Tosafos says on ื“ืฃ ื‘', we said that why do we need two pesukim for ื”ื•ืฆืื”? So he said, because it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, you needed one for the ืขื ื™ and one for the ืขืฉื™ืจ, one for the guy who's standing inside, one for the guy who's standing outside. So the Penei Yehoshua has a whole ืืจื™ื›ื•ืช, says, \"I don't understand, why why would we think there's a difference? What... M'meila you say it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”, so you wouldn't know something...\" other ืžืœืื›ื•ืช, other types, cause you can't compare, it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”. But they're both ื”ื•ืฆืื”, what's the difference? The difference is like this: if you're standing outside and you stuck your hands in and you took out, or you're standing inside and you took it out, why would I think What's the sevara behind it to say that a We'll say one pasuk, we would only know one, we wouldn't know the other. Because it's a ืžืœืื›ื” ื’ืจื•ืขื”. It's the same thing. Like a ื“ืจืš, if the pasuk speaks about wood No, wait, to say gold, that they would bring ื ื“ื‘ื•ืช of gold, and it says, \"Don't carry.\" So we need another pasuk to tell you you can't carry wood either. And how do you know you can't carry copper? Or clay, or something? You can't carry food. Makes no sense. So the same thing: either it happens to be over there, this is not something that's part of the melachah to say. So why would the fact that you're holding you're standing inside, you're standing outside, and you wouldn't know the difference? Why would you know the difference? So he goes and explains why there would be a sevara for the ืขื ื™ and the and the ืขืฉื™ืจ. So he says both sides: why if it would say only with the ืขื ื™, I would think by the ืขื ื™ it's more and I wouldn't know the ืขืฉื™ืจ, and it say by the ืขืฉื™ืจ. So I'm just going to bring one, which is ื ื•ื’ืข to what I'm trying to bring out. He says by the ืขืฉื™ืจ, I would think like this: if it would say only one, I would say it's only by the ืขืฉื™ืจ who is standing inside. And I wouldn't know if the guy's standing outside. Why? Cause the guy is standing inside, and he does the ื”ื•ืฆืื”, ื ืขืฉื™ืช ืžื—ืฉื‘ืชื•. Whatever he wanted to do is done. His machshavah was done. Shabbos, we need ืžื—ืฉื‘ื”, ืžืœืื›ืช ืžื—ืฉื‘ืช, it's done. And let's use a practical case: he wanted to give something to the poor man. When he gives it to him, finished. His whole job is done. It's all he wanted to do, and it's finished, so he did a full melachah. On the other hand, the ืขื ื™, from his side, what did the ืขื ื™ do? He stuck his hand in, and he took out. And what's he going to do now with it? He has to take it home. He's not finished yet. This is all the beginning of what he's intending to do. The guy gave him something, and he's going to take it. So he calls it ืœื ื ืขืฉื™ืช ืžื—ืฉื‘ืชื•. He doesn't have a full machshavah that this is something that he really wants. This is not finished yet. And since it's not I would think m'meila in that case, it's not it's not chayav, it's not asur. Why, lichora, what's ื ื•ื’ืข what he thinks? The ืคืขื•ืœื” is the same, and there was an ืขืงื™ืจื” and a ื”ื ื—ื”. Because I was saying the whole ืขืงื™ืจื” and a ื”ื ื—ื” is a ื’ื“ืจ of changing, starting off someplace, taking it out, and then putting it down, and now it's set here. So I would think if as far as you're concerned it's set there and it's over, that's called a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ื”ื’ื™ื•ืŸ at least. All ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ is ื”ื’ื™ื•ืŸ, but it's a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ื”ื’ื™ื•ืŸ because you're putting it down, and as far as you you don't care, you walk away, it's finished. But in a case where you took it and you're not finished yet, so maybe that's not called ืงื‘ืข ืฉื‘ื™ืชื”. The Pnei Yehoshua doesn't say it. If he would say it, then I would have nothing to say. But I'm saying it fits to what he's saying. That over there, you would think that it's not called a ื”ื ื—ื”, ืœื›ืื•ืจื” why not? So he plans to take it home. Cause the whole thing of the ื”ื ื—ื” is that you're finished and you put it down, you planted it in. In ืฉื›ืœ, in ื”ื’ื™ื•ืŸ. But if you're planning, I would think maybe that's not called planted in, so it's not finished yet. If it's not finished yet, you're not ื—ื™ื™ื‘. So we need a ืคืกื•ืง there, too. Then he says the other way, also. This explains another thing. And not to go into the details, there's a Gemara on ื“ืฃ ื“' with the Tosafot on ื“ืฃ ื“'. But anyway, what Tosafot does in ื“ืฃ ื“' here, Tosafot brings from a Yerushalmi ื‘ื ื•ื’ืข the ืžืœืื›ื” of ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜. And I mentioned ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜ the other shiur. ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜ is a ืชื•ืœื“ื” of ื”ื•ืฆืื”. What's

Defining ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜: Handโ€‘Over Between Domains

ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜? ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜ means to hand over, but it's not ืกืชื to hand over. To hand over from ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to that's not ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜. I mean it's in the word is ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜ is handing over, but that's the ืžืœืื›ื” of ื”ื•ืฆืื”, that's not ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜. ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜ is ืžืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ ืœืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ ื“ืจืš ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื. If you take something and you pick it up in ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“, and you pass over a ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, and you put it down in the next ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“, that's ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜. And that was in the Mishkan. The Mishkan, they had the wagons standing next to each other, and then Leviim would take from one wagon to another. But what was in between the wagons? Each wagon is a ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“, in between the wagons a ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, and we learn out ืžืœืื›ืช ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜. So it says in Yerushalmi that you're only ื—ื™ื™ื‘ ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜ if you put it into the into someone's hand, someone who is ืžืงื‘ืœ it. And the Yerushalmi asks a she'eilah: here, Where is that? Oh, I looked at the wrong page. Here. The Yerushalmi ืคืจืง ื”ื–ื•ืจืง, ื“ื”ื ืืžืจ, it says: By ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜, it says: ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื—ืžื: ื“ื•ื•ืงื ืขืœ ื™ื“ื™ ื‘', someone else has to take it. ืคืจืขื’ื˜ ื“ื™ ื™ืจื•ืฉืœืžื™: ื‘ื›ืœ ืืชืจ, the whole ืชื•ืจื” we say, ืฉื ื™ื ืฉืขืฉื•, ืคื˜ื•ืจื™ืŸ, ื•ื›ืืŸ ืืžืจืช ื—ื™ื™ื‘ื™ืŸ? Here ื“ื•ื•ืงื if someone else got it, you're ื—ื™ื™ื‘? ื•ืžืฉื ื™: ืฉื›ืš ื”ื™ืชื” ืขื‘ื•ื“ืช ื”ืœื•ื™ื™ื ื‘ืžืฉื›ืŸ. That's how the Leviim did it. And Tosafos has she'elot to what's take the sevara? Why do you need two? Because the whole inyan is a change of ืจืฉื•ื™ื•ืช, and a real change, and a real change from picking up and putting it down. ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜ has a little problem of that change. What do they say is ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜? ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ to ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“ ื“ืจืš ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื. So even though it went ื“ืจืš ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, but basically it started off in ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“. It finished off in ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“. And since we just finished saying that ืขืงื™ืจื” and ื”ื ื—ื”, the beginning and the end, is what makes it, so there is missing really a real change because it's not even a ืฉื™ื ื•ื™ ืจืฉื•ืช. Ela mai, it went through the ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ืจื‘ื™ื, good, but its ืขืงื™ืจื” ื”ื ื—ื” is missing. So that's why Yerushalmi says that in order to make the ื”ื ื—ื” considered in something else, if you have a second person, that adds to it. So if you just put it down, you're putting it down in another ืจืฉื•ืช ื”ื™ื—ื™ื“. But if you have it ืขืœ ื™ื“ื™ ื‘', so then in addition to the different ืจืฉื•ื™ื•ืช, it's a different person also. So here Yerushalmi says at least we understand that it compensates, it compensates for the lack of the fact that it's a different ืจืฉื•ืช completely because it's only passing. So what instead of that is, there's another person. But it's all based on this nekudah that the hanachah, the akirah is important, the hanachah, because that basically makes this melachah into a melachah. So by ืžื•ืฉื™ื˜, the way it is is already changed.
