אמר אמימר. In the middle of this whole אמר אמימר, אמימר said: אמרה לי רישא דנשי כשפניות, the leader the leader of all the women who do black magic told me: האי מאן דפגע בהו בנשי כשפניות, if you happen to meet up with these magicians, with these women magicians, and you want to make sure that they don't do any trouble, so נימא לה נימא הכי, this is what you should say. And if you say this, then you get rid of it. Say like this: חרי חמימי בדיקולא ביזייא. Oh, we learned this already. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, we got the wrong page. Yeah, we learned this. Oh, we're holding here, yeah, further, further, down here, yeah. הני תרתי נשי here. No, we we left off with with תרי... דכיילי ונפקי דכיילי דכיילי, no? That was the last thing we did, no? י״ח ג. Here we're holding. Yeah, דכיילי, that's where we're holding, yeah. הני תרתי נשי, I'm sorry. Yeah, I just I didn't realize. הני תרתי נשי, yes, if you see two women דיתבן בפרשת דרכים, they're sitting by a fork in the road, and חדא בהאי גיסא דשבילא וחדא בהאי גיסא דשבילא, one woman is sitting on one side of the street and one on the other side of the street, ומסחרן אפייהו להדדי, and you see their face they're looking at each other, you should know הני ודאי בכשפים עסקינן, they're definitely involved in black magic. And therefore, לא לילך בינייהו, don't go between them. מאי תקנתיה, what should you do? אי איכא דרכא אחרינא, there's another way to go, ליזל, go the other ליזל, will go the other way. ואי ליכא, there's no other way, ואי ליכא דרכא אחרינא, there's no other way, so like this: אי איכא איניש בהדיה, if he has another person with him, ננקטו לידיה דהדדי, hold him by his hand, וניחלפו, and together you walk by. So you walk by... Yeah, yeah, but this is two sides of the street. That's when you have two women within ד׳ אמות, that's what you do. But here, they could be far far, so as far as going between women is no problem, but because of the כשף, that's the problem, so you hold her hand. No, it says no, it doesn't say hold, go together. ואי לא ואי לא, and if he can't do that, נימא הכי this way. Huh? Yeah, you should hold them by his hand. Yeah. Hold hands together. No, yeah, but it's true it says here you should hold your hand together, but the main thing is that when two people go together, then they won't they won't start up with you. ואי לא, if you can't, נימא הכי, say this. This is what you should say: אגרת אזלת אוסיא בלוסיא מתקטלתון בחצי קבל. Which means like this: these are shadim, names of shadim, and you say to them that you should know these shadim that help you, that you're involved with the כשף, are killed already with arrows. Say that, I guess you scare them off and they don't bother you. Okay? You're scaring the shadim or you're scaring the women? What who are you scaring? Huh? You scare the women. You tell them that the shadim that help you do this כשף are dead, so then they don't do it. But they can see if they're dead or not. I guess they don't. I guess they can't see for sure. Maybe it takes them a long while till they find out. Anyway, most of these things anyway are לחשים, which we have no idea what they mean and this. At least some of them have make a little bit of sense, but it's much more than what it says.

האי מאן דפגע באשה בעידנא דסלקא מטבילת מצוה, a man who meets a woman as she's coming out of the mikveh, so bad thing, אי איהו קדים ומשמש, if he is the one that does תשמיש המטה, he does he has relations with his wife before she happens to have relations with her husband, אגזא ליה לדידיה רוח זנונים. That then will happen, a ruach, a spirit of זנות will get to him. אי איהי קדמה ומשמשה, if she does it first, אגזא לה לאיהי רוח זנונים. So if it don't happen her, it will happen a רוח of זנות. מאי תקנתיה? Yeah, somebody has to... Stay away from the women's mikvah at that time. No, it means you, probably means the first one, you can always see the woman, it's the That's the damage. That's why there's a mikveh lady who's there, and she's the first one that sees you. Because in case it says you shouldn't see for her sake. Oh, it's not when she comes out of the building, it's right when she comes out of the mikvah. That's not, yeah, I guess so. No, out of the building. If she didn't see anybody first, after the mikveh, if she doesn't the first person she sees, it says if she sees a dog, halachah like that, if she sees a dog the first thing, she has to go back to the mikveh. If she sees a goy, she has to go back to the mikveh. That's one of the reasons the mikveh lady is there, and she's there so she's the first Jew that you meet, so now you're patur on everything. What about Rabbi Yochanan? Rabbi Yochanan... Sat outside. Sat outside, but it... No, other women. Yeah, מאי תקנתיה? What happens if you did see a woman come out of the mikveh, what what do you do? לימא הכי, this is what you should say: ש-, there's a pasuk,

שופך בוז על נדיבים ויתעם בתוהו לא דרך, which means pour on on on בוז on נדיבים, in other words, it's it's like it's like a lachash, but it's more than a lachash, you're saying, you're asking the Eibershter to throw on the קליפות, on the on this תאוות, should throw throw it away. אמר רב יצחק, רב יצחק said, מאי דכתיב? It's a pasuk in Tehillim, no? There's a pasuk in Tehillim. מאי דכתיב? Well, it's here it's a halachah. What's the pshat in the pasuk where it says, גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות, even if I go in the valley of death, לא אירא רע. David Hamelech is saying, nothing will happen bad to me, כי אתה עמדי, you're with me. Now what's the person, who's a person that's going בגיא צלמות? What kind of person walks in the גיא צלמות? So he says, זה הישן No, it doesn't mean like a person. So he says, זה הישן בצל דקל יחידי. If you sleep in the shade of one palm tree, one date tree. Why? Because if the the it's there's a shade there, the שדים go around there. So if you go if you sleep there, they'll get you. Or בצל לבנה, the shade of the לבנה. Okay, so that's called צל צלמו- גיא צלמות. That's something that's dangerous. And the Gemara explains details: וצל דקל יחידי, even though when we said it's a problem Excuse me, when the moon is full, right? It's not necessarily Not when it's full, when it's just shining. And in when we say in the shade of one tree, לא אמרן אלא דלא נפיל טולא דחבריה עילויה. That's only if there is the other tree is not next to it and there is no shade from the other tree falling on this tree. אבל נפל טולא דחבריה עילויה, but if the shade of the other tree falls on this, לית לן בה, then there's no problem. The shedim don't go there. Doesn't have to be always תמר, right? Can be any tree? No, it has to be a regular, a דקל. No, it's a דקלא, דקלא. אלא, the Gemara says, but הא דתניא, it says in the braisa: הישן בצל דקל יחידי בחצר, if a person sleeps in the צל, the shade of a single דקל in the yard, והישן בצל לבנה, and if someone who sleeps in the shade of the לבנה, דמו בראשו. Your blood is in your head, that means you're taking your life in, you're putting yourself in danger. היכי דמי, what is the case? Why is it worse in the yard? What do you mean? Wait, wait. So the Gemara says, what the case? אילימא דלא נפיל טולא דחבריה עילויה, if the case is where it's single and the other shade is not on this, so what's the yard? אפילו בשדה נמי, even the field נמי, all the נמי. Why the yard? אלא לאו, it must be שמע מינה this teaches us that בחצר, אף על גב דנפל טולא דחבריה עילויה, שמע מינה. In the yard, it's worse. In a place where it's not in the yard, then the problem is only if it's a single tree. If there's another tree next to it and the shade of the other tree falls on this tree, it's no problem. In the yard, even that's a problem. But why is the yard worse? Why? No, no, no, the shade, so the moon is shining and then there is like a wall blocking and you're sleeping in the shade of the moon. So you're bet- you're better off sleeping in the, in the moonlight? Yeah, the moonlight rather than in the shade. What's in a yard? What's in a yard, why? I don't know. Shedim go there. The shedim like privacy also. If it's a private place, it's in the more the more Yeah, all these things, these are where shedim go more. They go under the shade, they go this, and then in this case they don't go. Yeah, they have their own rules. They like to go in a place where they're not going to where no one's going to see them. In the courtyard and in the field it's not it's not as much of a Right, so saying, why? Because here, there they're more, more chance that they're going to be there. How do you sleep in a tent? Huh? How do you sleep in a tent? Why? The moon is shining. That's not shade, I mean, that's like in the house. How do you sleep in the house? No, here it means, probably when there's something this is shade, what you call shade. If it's, I guess if it's covered from top also, here you're, like I said, there's a wall and the moon is shining and this the wall blocks out, yeah. Wall blocks and makes a shade. What are shedim? Demons. Kedushah, kind of kedushah? The Aibershter gave them koach. They were they were made bein hashmashot, no? ערב שבת בין השמשות. That's when they were created. Ramchal says it's in between a malach, it's a מדרגה in between a malach and a human being. Yeah. Who said it? The Ramchal. Oh, it says not not the only place it says, it says that it's in between a person and a malach, okay. They have a shtikel body. Malachim don't have at all, they have רוחניות'דיקע bodies, but not they have גשמיות'דיקע bodies. One foot, they don't have a Huh? צורה? Yeah. Some places it describes even what they look like. They have a one foot That's malach. The thing is Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Then it says also בצילה של לבנה, that you shouldn't sleep in the shade of the לבנה, לא אמרן, that was only במערבא, on the מערב side, אבל במדנחתא, but in the מזרח side, לית לן בה, it's no problem. The whole thing is going to be the whole page is going to be here, the whole amud is with with these things. האי מאן דמיפני אגיזזא דדיקלא, if a person is does his needs, goes to the bathroom, on a branch, or according to one opinion on a on a What's a slump, what's it called? Stump. A stump of a דקלא. אחדיה ליה רוח פלגא. What's going to happen to him, he's going to get some kind of paralysis in part of his body. האי מאן דמנח רישא אגיזזא דדיקלא, if somebody puts his head down on this stump of of a דקלא, אחדיה רוח צדא. He's going to get this other, this is a not a half a headache, a headache in half of his head. Half a headache is is not such a terrible thing, but he gets a full headache, but in half of his head. Huh? Yeah, but only חצי ראש. Yeah? Migraine is a half? Oh, yeah? האי מאן דפסע אדיקלא, if somebody is there's a branch of a דקלא laying on the floor, and you pass over it, you don't step on it, you're crossing, you put your foot, you're crossing over it. אי מקטל קטיל, if that was killed, that thing was killed, that piece, you will die, you'll get killed. If you step over a branch of a palm tree? Yeah. Like, these palm tree branches all over the place? Yeah, one second, one second. But this no, the palm trees we have is not the real ones, those are not date trees. Yeah, real, a דקלא is a date tree. Yeah. But usually it's all just... You have some, very few. I think across from my house, I think they have a the street trees are the date trees. But usually most of them are not, most of them are coconuts. But let's see what he says here. אי עקר, if it was pulled out, מיעקר, what is, you'll be pulled out, I don't know, pulled out from what, but you'll die. והני מילי דלא מנח כרעיה עילויה, that's only if you didn't step on it, אבל מנח כרעיה עילויה, לית לן בה, but if you stepped on it, no problem. It's only if you cross over it, walk over it. Causes him as well. Worse if you step over than if you step on it? I don't know, the shedim, they if you step on it, they get scared, I don't know, but if you don't step on it, they're not scared. We don't know their rules. Then it says, vayter. חמישה, or the גירסא, ארבעה טולי הוו. There are four or five shades, when he says a shade, like a a shadow, five five types which are no good:

טולא דדיקלא יחידאה, we said before, the shade of a single דקלא; טולא דקנדא, the shade of a tree called קנדא; טולא דפרחא, shade of פרחא. Now, what's פרחא? So, Rashi says, צלף. You know צלף? What is it? Caper bush. Caper bush, we always ask, yeah? I don't know, קנדא, Rashi doesn't even say. It's just שנגילו״ן. A lote tree. What? L-O-T-E. That's what it says here? I don't know. Rashi says, name of a tree. Okay. טולא דזגזסה, the shade of a זגזסה. It's also, Rashi says it's a שונצהיי״ר. You know that? A sorb tree. What? S-O-R-B. Okay, vayter. איכא דאמרי, some say, אף טולא דארבא, also the the shade of a ship, וטולא דארבתא, and the shade of an ערבה, of an ערבה tree, an ערבה branch. כללא דמילתא, the rule is like this: כל דנפיש ענפיה, the more branches, a lot of branches, קשי טוליה, the shade is worse. In other words, if a lot of branches, it's more shayach that the shedim should be there, because they have more place to hide. וכל דקשי סילויה, whatever is the the the tree itself is harder, קשי טוליה, also the shade is worse. Wood of the tree, the tree itself is a strong tree. לבר מקרומישא, besides the tree קרומישא. אף על גב דקשי סילויה, even though it's a hard tree, לא קשי טוליה, the shade is not so bad. Why? Because, huh? Thorns. That is harmful. דאמרה ליה שידה לברה, because a שידה once said to her son, פרחי נפשיך מקרומישא, stay away, fly away, go away from this tree, don't stay by this tree, קרומישא. Why? דהוא דקטל אבוך, cause he killed your father, וקטל לדידיה, and he killed himself. The tree killed... Yeah. So, this is a bad tree, so the shedim stay away from this tree, memeila, this tree, if they stay away, we could stay. We could stay, we could go there? We could go there. That's what he says! All the said, all the shades are bad, except the shade of קרומישא. The enemy the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? אמר רב אשי, רב אשי said: חזינא ליה לרב כהנא, I saw that רב כהנא דפריש מכולהו כולהו טולי. He stayed away from any shade, he didn't stay by shade at all. Even these that it seems like are not so bad, he wanted to be on the safe side, stayed away. זאגט די Gemara ווייטער: דבי פרחא, by the tree of דבי פרחא, רוחי. The shedim that go to this tree are called רוחי. דבי זרדתא, those are those the the shedim that are there by the זרדתא, שידא. Their name is שידא. This is name פרחא רוחי, this is שידא. דבי איגרי, those are those that are in the the place of איגרי, are called רישפי. פרעגט די Gemara: מאי נפקא מינה? Who cares what the name is? The Gemara answers: לקמיע. If you go to somebody, a tzadik, to write a קמיע, so in order the קמיע should protect you, you have to write the name of the problem. So you have to know which שדים. So if he says, \"I went to this and this place,\" so you have to know what שדים are there in order to write the קמיע. And they're different from מלאכים cause they understand Aramaic, right? You say that מלאכים don't understand... Could be. Then you have like the דבי פרחא, the מלאך the מלאך the שדים of called דבי פרחא, בריה שאין לו עיניים. This is a kind of creature has no eyes. So מאי נפקא מינה? What difference is, has eyes or not? למיגזא ליה, to run away from it. You don't have to run away from it, right, because it won't see you, so you could be there. Doesn't למיגזא say to chop it down? No, no. Not here, it doesn't mean that. זימנא חדא, one time,

הוה אזיל צורבא מרבנן לאפנויי לדבי פרחא. Once, one of the תלמידי חכמים went to do, as they say, his needs, by this דבי פרחא. שמע דקאתי עילויה, so he heard the שד coming. וגזא ליה, so he ran away. כי אזלא, it was running after him, חבטיה לדיקלא, banged into a דקלא. צווח דיקלא, so the דקלא screamed, ופקע היא פרחא, and the פרחא פלאצט. So some say the פשט is the tree פלאצט, or the פרחא פלאצט, cause it can't see, so it crashed into the tree. Blind blind demon. Yeah. Kaput. Okay, we'll stop here. סימן טוב. סימן טוב, yeah. Well, we said that פרחא got this got פלאצט, that's good. What is so important of
