Introduction to the Shiur on Bava Kama 12

Jewish Audio on Chabad.org. Today's ืฉื™ืขื•ืจ will be in ืžืกื›ืช ื‘ื‘ื ืงืžื ื“ืฃ ื™ืดื‘, we will start on ื“ืฃ ื™ืดื ืขืžื•ื“ ื‘ืณ, eight lines from the bottom of the ืขืžื•ื“. And the ื’ืžืจื here quoted many ื“ื™ื ื™ื in the name of ืขื•ืœื in the name of ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ. The ื’ืžืจื says: ื•ืืžืจ ืขื•ืœื ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ, also did ืขื•ืœื in the name of ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ say, ื”ืœื›ืชื, the ื”ืœื›ื” is, ื’ื•ื‘ื™ืŸ ืžืŸ ื”ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, that you collect a ื—ื•ื‘ from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. If a person owes money to a ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘, when the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ comes to collect, he's able to collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, from the ื’ื•ื™ื™ืฉืข slaves. Since the ื’ื•ื™ื™ืฉืข slaves is considered the property of the person, so when he comes to collect, he's able to collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. ืืžืจ ืœื™ื” ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ ืœืขื•ืœื, so ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said to ืขื•ืœื: ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ ืืคื™ืœื• ืžื™ืชืžื™, did ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ say the same ื“ื™ืŸ even from ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื? If the person who owed the money died and now his ื™ื•ืจืฉื™ื, the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื inherited his ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, his property, can the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ come and collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื that the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื inherited? Because the ื“ื™ืŸ is that if a person dies, so then only his ืงืจืงืข, only his real estate is ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘. But the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, the unmovable objects that the children ื™ืจืฉื ืณื˜, that is not ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘. The ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ cannot collect from the property that they inherited if it is not ืงืจืงืข. So when ืขื•ืœื said in the name of ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ that you could collect from ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, so ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ asked him: Did that mean that also if they inherited ืขื‘ื“ื™ื that the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could collect the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื? What he really meant to ask was, does he consider ืขื‘ื“ื™ื like ืงืจืงืข, and therefore, even if he died and the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื ื™ืจืฉื ืณื˜, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื just like he could collect from the ืงืจืงืข? So he said to him: ืœื, no, ืžื™ื ื™ื”, only from him. Only from the ืœื•ื” himself the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, but if he died and the ื™ื•ืจืฉื™ื inherited the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ cannot collect. In other words, the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื don't have a ื“ื™ืŸ of ืงืจืงืข, they have a ื“ื™ืŸ of ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. So he asked him back: ืžื™ื ื™ื”, if all you're saying is that he collects from him, ืืคื™ืœื• ืžื’ืœื™ืžื ื“ืขืœ ื›ืชืคื™ื”, from him you could collect anything, you could even take off the coat from his shoulders. Everything a person owns is ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘. So if you're saying that only from the ืœื•ื” himself the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could collect from ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, that's no ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ, he could collect anything, any ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that the ืœื•ื” has. And the ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช explains that doesn't mean that you could actually take off the coat off his shoulder if he doesn't have any other coat, it means that if he has two coats, so the extra coat you could collect for the ื—ื•ื‘. Or as ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช says, that if he owns a coat which is very expensive, we take away that coat and we buy him another coat which is not that expensive and the difference goes to the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘. But anyway, the question that he asked was that how can you say that what ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ meant was that you only collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื from himself, from the ืœื•ื” himself? That's no ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ, because you collect anything that a ืœื•ื” owns. So he answered:

The Concept of Afotek: Slave as Collateral

ื”ื›ื ื‘ืžืื™ ืขืกืงื™ื ืŸ, we're talking here in a case ืฉืขืฉืื• ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, that he made the ืขื‘ื“ an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™. And as ืจืฉืดื™ explains, ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ is made up of three words: ืืคื™ ืชื”ื ืงืื™, here it should be. That means that when he borrowed the money, he specified that this thing should be specifically ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to your ื—ื•ื‘. So here we're talking in a case where he made the ืขื‘ื“ an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ for the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘. And the ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ is ื›ื™ ื“ืจื‘ื, like ืจื‘ื said, ื“ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื, ืจื‘ื said: ืขืฉื” ืขื‘ื“ื• ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, if a person makes his ืขื‘ื“ as an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ for the ื—ื•ื‘ ื•ืžื›ืจื•, and then he sold his ืขื‘ื“, ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ ื’ื•ื‘ื” ื”ื™ืžื ื•, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ will collect that ืขื‘ื“, even though the ืขื‘ื“ was sold, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ is able to go to the ืœื•ืงื—, to the buyer, and take away the ืขื‘ื“ for his ื—ื•ื‘ because the ืขื‘ื“ was the ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™. But if he made ืฉื•ืจื• ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, if he made his ox as an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ ื•ืžื›ืจื•, and he sold it, ืื™ืŸ ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ ื’ื•ื‘ื” ื”ื™ืžื ื•, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ cannot collect from the ืฉื•ืจ because when he sold the ืฉื•ืจ that ืฉื™ืขื‘ื•ื“ fell off and the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ cannot come and collect. So that's what ืจื‘ื™ ืืœืขื–ืจ meant, that you could collect from ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, and as ืจืฉืดื™ says, it means that even if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื were sold, but since the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื were made ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, so then the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could collect from the ืœื•ืงื—, he could take away those ืขื‘ื“ื™ื.

Tosafot on Afotek and Collecting from Buyers and Orphans

ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช adds that ื‘ืืžืช, when he answered him that we're talking in a case where he made him an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, he didn't mean only that The ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ is that if he sold the ืขื‘ื“, you could take him away from the ืœื•ืงื—. The same ื“ื™ืŸ would actually apply if the ืขื‘ื“ fell to the ื™ื•ืจืฉื™ื. If the ืขื‘ื“ was made as an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ while the person was alive, so then when he died, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could come and collect that ืขื‘ื“ from the ื™ื•ืจืฉื™ื. Even if we say that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื really are considered like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, and therefore the ื›ืœืœ is that ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ ื“ื™ืชืžื™ ืœื ืžืฉืชืขื‘ื“ื™ ืœื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘, the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that fall to the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื are not ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘, so normally the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could not come and take the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that they inherited, but since the father made the ืขื‘ื“ an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, so then the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could collect this ืขื‘ื“, similar to the ื“ื™ืŸ of a ืœื•ืงื—, that just like we said that if he sells the ืขื‘ื“, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could collect that ืขื‘ื“ from the ืœื•ืงื—, being that he made him an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, the same ื“ื™ืŸ would be by ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. And ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช says that wherever we find that the ื“ื™ืŸ is that you could collect from the ืœื•ืงื—, you could take it away from the one that bought it, you also could collect from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, you could take away from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. Even in a case where the reason why you're able to collect from the ืœื•ืงื— does not apply to the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, nevertheless the ื“ื™ืŸ in both cases are equal. And ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช gives an example that we know that only if you have a ืžืœื•ื” ื‘ืฉื˜ืจ, a loan written in a document, that's when the ืงืจืงืข is ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘, that even if the ืœื•ื” sold the ืงืจืงืข, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could come to the ืœื•ืงื—, to the buyer, and take away the ืงืจืงืข. But if it's a ืžืœื•ื” ืขืœ ืคื”, if it wasn't written in a document, it was only a loan orally, so then if the ืœื•ื” sold the ืงืจืงืข, then the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ cannot come to the buyers and take away the ืงืจืงืข. The same ื“ื™ืŸ would apply to ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, that if it's a ืžืœื•ื” ื‘ืฉื˜ืจ, so then the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could come to the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื and take away the ืงืจืงืข that they inherited, but if it would be a ืžืœื•ื” ืขืœ ืคื”, so then the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ cannot come to the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื and take away the ืงืจืงืข. And ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช says that even though the reason why there is a difference between a ืžืœื•ื” ื‘ืฉื˜ืจ and a ืžืœื•ื” ืขืœ ืคื” only applies to ืœื•ืงื—, that same reason does not apply to the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, as ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช explains in detail, and nevertheless we see that the same ื“ื™ืŸ as we have it by ืœื•ืงื— is by ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, because whenever we say that you could collect from a ืœื•ืงื—, you could also collect from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. And therefore here too, when he said that if you made your ืขื‘ื“ an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, and you sold him, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could come to the ืœื•ืงื—, to the buyer, and take away the ืขื‘ื“, the same would apply to ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, that if he made his ืขื‘ื“ an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ and he died, the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could come to the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื and take away that ืขื‘ื“. So it comes out according to this ืคืฉื˜, that even though he said to him that when ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ said the ื“ื™ืŸ that you could collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, he did not mean from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, he only meant ืžื™ื ื™ื” from himself, after he answered that it's speaking in a case where he made him an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, it means even in the case of ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. So when he said that he only meant from him, it's only if there wasn't wasn't an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™. In a case where he didn't make him an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, so then he cannot collect from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. But after we explained that the ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ of ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ is in the case where he made him an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, so that ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ applies not only concerning a ืœื•ืงื—, that the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could take it away from the buyer, but that he could also take it away from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. And the ื’ืžืจื explains what is the difference why if you made your ืขื‘ื“ an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ and you sold him the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ could take him away, but if you made your ืฉื•ืจ an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ can't take it away? And he says ืžืื™ ื˜ืขืžื, what is the reason? ื”ื ืื™ืช ืœื™ื” ืงืœื. This one, the ืขื‘ื“, has a ืงื•ืœ. Everyone knows that it was an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™ for the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘, so the buyer shouldn't have bought it. But ื”ื ืœื™ืช ืœื™ื” ืงืœื, but in the case of the ืฉื•ืจ no one knows that this ืฉื•ืจ was an ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, there is no ืงื•ืœ, and therefore we can't blame the buyer for buying it, and therefore the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ cannot take it away from him. And the ื’ืžืจื continues, ืœื‘ืชืจ ื“ื ืคืง, after ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ left, ืืžืจ ืœื”ื• ืขื•ืœื, so ืขื•ืœื said to the ืชืœืžื™ื“ื™ื that were sitting there, ื”ื›ื™ ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ, this is what ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ said, ืืคื™ืœื• ืžื™ืชืžื™, that you could collect from the ื™ืชืžื™, from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. When ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ asked him, did ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ mean that you could collect from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื too? In other words, does ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ hold that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข? So he answered him no. But after ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ left, he told the people around there that ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ did say it by ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, because ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ holds that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข. ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, so later ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said when he heard what ืขื•ืœื said, he said, ืื™ืฉืชืžื™ื˜ ืขื•ืœื. ืขื•ืœื slipped by. ืขื•ืœื was afraid to tell me the truth that ืจื‘ ืืœืขื–ืจ said even concerning ื™ืชืžื™, because he was afraid I would ask him questions and he wouldn't have what to answer. Therefore, he told me that ืจ' ืืœืขื–ืจ said it only the case of ืžื™ื ื™ื”, concerning himself, concerning ืืคื•ืชื™ืงื™, and not the case of ื™ืชืžื™. Then the ื’ืžืจื says, ื”ื•ื•ื” ืขื•ื‘ื“ื ื‘ื ื”ืจื“ืขื, there was a story in ื ื”ืจื“ืขื, ื•ืื’ื‘ื• ื“ื™ื™ื ื™ ื“ื ื”ืจื“ืขื, and the ื“ื™ื™ื ื™ื of ื ื”ืจื“ืขื did make the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื in the case of the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. ื”ื•ื•ื” ืขื•ื‘ื“ื ื‘ืคื•ืžื‘ื“ื™ืชื, there was a story in ืคื•ืžื‘ื“ื™ืชื, ื•ืื’ื‘ื™ ืจื‘ ื—ื ื ื‘ืจ ื‘ื™ื–ื ื, and ืจื‘ ื—ื ื ื‘ืจ ื‘ื™ื–ื ื made the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ collect from ืขื‘ื“ื™ื from ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. ืืžืจ ืœื”ื• ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, so ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said to them, ื–ื™ืœื• ืื”ื“ื•ืจื•, go and give back, ื•ืื™ ืœื, if you're not going to return it, ืžื’ื‘ื™ื ื ืœื›ื• ืœืืคื“ื ื™ื™ื›ื•, I will take away your homes, I will take away your palaces, because ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ felt that you're not allowed to collect from ืขื‘ื“ื™ื from ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, and therefore he said to them, when you did make him collect, you better return it, if not I'm going to take the money away from you. ืืžืจ ืœื™ื” ืจื‘ื ืœืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, so ืจื‘ื said to ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, ื”ื ืขื•ืœื, here we see what ืขื•ืœื holds, ืขื•ืœื holds that you could collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื from ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. ื”ื ืจ' ืืœืขื–ืจ, here we have ืจ' ืืœืขื–ืจ, he also holds the same way because ืขื•ืœื said it in the name of ืจ' ืืœืขื–ืจ. ื”ื ื“ื™ื™ื ื™ ื“ื ื”ืจื“ืขื, here we see that the ื“ื™ื™ื ื™ื of ื ื”ืจื“ืขื also hold the same way, because they ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” said that the ื‘ืขืœ ื—ื•ื‘ should collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. ื•ื”ื ืจื‘ ื—ื ื ื‘ืจ ื‘ื™ื–ื ื, here we see that ืจื‘ ื—ื ื ื‘ืจ ื‘ื™ื–ื ื holds the same way, because that's what he ืคืกืงื 'ื˜ in ืคื•ืžื‘ื“ื™ืชื. ืžืจ ื›ืžืืŸ ืกื‘ื™ืจื ืœื™ื”? So you, the ืจื‘ื™, who do you hold like? You hold different than them all, why do you hold different than them? ืืžืจ ืœื™ื”, he said to him, ืื ื ืžืชื ื™ืชื ื™ื“ืขื ื, all I know is a ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื. I have a ืจืื™ื” from a ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, and therefore I ืคืกืง'ืŸ that you cannot collect from ืขื‘ื“ื™ื from ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื. Which ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื? ื“ืชื ื™ ืื‘ื™ืžื™, ืื‘ื™ืžื™ learned, ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ ื—ืœ ืขืœ ื”ืงืจืงืข, a ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ is a document that ื”ืœืœ ื”ื–ืงืŸ was ืžืชืงืŸ. The ื“ื™ืŸ is that on ืฉืžื™ื˜ื” you're not allowed to collect any ื—ื•ื‘. If someone owes someone else money and ืฉืžื™ื˜ื” passes, so then he is not allowed to collect that ื—ื•ื‘ anymore. So

Hallel the Elderโ€™s Remedy for Shmita Loan Issues

ื”ืœืœ ื”ื–ืงืŸ saw that because of that, when it got close to ืฉืžื™ื˜ื”, people stopped lending money because they were afraid that they will never get it back. And he saw that they were ืขื•ื‘ืจ on the ืคืกื•ืง where it says that if ืฉืžื™ื˜ื” comes, you should not hold yourself back from lending, and people did hold themselves back from lending, so they were ืขื•ื‘ืจ on this ืขื‘ื™ืจื”. So therefore ื”ืœืœ was ืžืชืงืŸ a ืชืงื ื” that you should be able to collect the ื—ื•ื‘ even if ืฉืžื™ื˜ื” passes. What was the ืชืงื ื”? He made a ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ, that you would have to write a document, or as the ื’ืžืจื says in ื’ื™ื˜ื™ืŸ, it might be enough if you say it, that you give over all your loans to the ื‘ื™ืช ื“ื™ืŸ. Because the ื“ื™ืŸ is that this ื“ื™ืŸ of ืฉืžื™ื˜ื”, that you're not allowed to collect any ื—ื•ื‘, is only if the ื—ื•ื‘ is a private ื—ื•ื‘. But if it's the ื‘ื™ืช ื“ื™ืŸ that has the ื—ื•ื‘, so then you are allowed to collect, because when it's in the hands of ื‘ื™ืช ื“ื™ืŸ it's as if it's collected already, and only a ื—ื•ื‘ that you still have to collect you're not allowed to, but a ื—ื•ื‘ which is as if it was collected already you are allowed to collect. So therefore if you give it over to ื‘ื™ืช ื“ื™ืŸ, so then you're allowed to collect the ื—ื•ื‘. So what ื”ืœืœ did was he was ืžืชืงืŸ that you write in the ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ or you say it ื‘ืขืœ ืคื” that I give over all the ื—ื•ื‘ื•ืช that I have, all the money that people owe me I give over to the ื‘ื™ืช ื“ื™ืŸ. So then you are allowed to ask for those ื—ื•ื‘ื•ืช back. But there is a condition that the only time you can write a ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ is if the ืœื•ื”, the one that borrowed the money, has ืงืจืงืข. Because then we could say that since you have from where to collect, because ืงืจืงืข is ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื—ื•ื‘, so then the person, the ืžืœื•ื”, could write the ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ. So the

ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื says that ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ ื—ืœ ืขืœ ื”ืงืจืงืข, the ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ is ื—ืœ on ืงืจืงืข, ื•ืื™ื ื• ื—ืœ ืขืœ ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, it's not ื—ืœ on ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. In other words, if he has ืขื‘ื“ื™ื but not ืงืจืงืข, you cannot write a ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ on those ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. And also, ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ื ืงื ื™ืŸ ืขื ื”ืงืจืงืข, ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ you could acquire together with ืงืจืงืข, ื•ืื™ื ืŸ ื ืงื ื™ืŸ ืขื ื”ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, and you can't acquire ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ together with ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. There is a ื“ื™ืŸ which is called ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘, that when a person buys ืงืจืงืข, and he makes a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข, the proper ืงื ื™ืŸ, one of the three of ื›ืกืฃ, ืฉื˜ืจ, ื—ื–ืงื”, or by paying money, or by making a ื—ื–ืงื”, doing something to the ืงืจืงืข, or by ืฉื˜ืจ, by writing a document, and that's how you are ืงื•ื ื” ืงืจืงืข. So if you buy ืงืจืงืข, and you are ืงื•ื ื” ืงืจืงืข with one of these ืงื ื™ื ื™ื, so then you could automatically be ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that you buy along with it, and that is called ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘. You don't have to make a special ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, but since you make the ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข, so automatically the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that you bought along with it automatically are ื ืงื ื” to the person who made the ืงื ื™ืŸ. So the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื says that you could be ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘ ืงืจืงืข, together with ืงืจืงืข, but you cannot be ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ together with ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. If you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, and at the same time you want to be ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. So this is the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ brought. And he says that from this ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื we see that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are not like ืงืจืงืข, ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, and therefore you cannot write a ืคืจื•ื–ื‘ื•ืœ on the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, therefore you cannot be ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘ the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. So we see that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, and therefore he says, I hold that you cannot collect from the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื from the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื, because only ืงืจืงืข of the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื is ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื—ื•ื‘, but ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ of the ื™ืชื•ืžื™ื is not ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“, and since ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, they are not ืžืฉื•ืขื‘ื“ to the ื—ื•ื‘. Then the

Gemaraโ€™s Debate: Slaves as Real Estate or Movables

ื’ืžืจื says, ืœื™ืžื ื›ืชื ืื™, let us say that this ื“ื™ืŸ, whether ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are considered ืงืจืงืข or considered ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, is really a ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช, an argument between ืชื ืื™ื. Because we learned in a ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื, ืžื›ืจ ืœื• ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ื•ืงืจืงืขื•ืช, if someone sells someone else ืขื‘ื“ื™ื and ืงืจืงืข, ื”ื—ื–ื™ืง ื‘ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ืœื ืงื ื” ืงืจืงืขื•ืช. If you make the ื—ื–ืงื”, the ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, you do not automatically get a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข. ื‘ืงืจืงืขื•ืช ืœื ืงื ื” ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, you don't automatically have a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. ืงืจืงืขื•ืช ื•ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, if you buy ืงืจืงืข and ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, ื”ื—ื–ื™ืง ื‘ืงืจืงืข ืงื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, if you make a ื—ื–ืงื”, a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, you are automatically ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ because of ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘. ื•ื‘ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ืœื ืงื ื” ืงืจืงืข, if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, you are not automatically ืงื•ื ื” the ืงืจืงืข, because there is no such thing as ืื’ื‘ that you are ืงื•ื ื” ืงืจืงืข ืื’ื‘ the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, that through ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ you should be ืงื•ื ื” ืงืจืงืข. ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ื•ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, if you're buying ืขื‘ื“ื™ื and ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, ื”ื—ื–ื™ืง ื‘ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, if you make a ื—ื–ืงื”, a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, ืœื ืงื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. ื•ื‘ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ืœื ืงื ื” ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. So from this ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื it seems that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื have a ื“ื™ืŸ like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, since it says that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, so obviously ืขื‘ื“ื™ื don't have a ื“ื™ืŸ of ืงืจืงืข. Because if ืขื‘ื“ื™ื would have a ื“ื™ืŸ of ืงืจืงืข, then the ื“ื™ืŸ should have been that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. But one might ask, if so, that this ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื holds that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, why does the beginning of the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื say that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื? If ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, the ื“ื™ืŸ should be you should be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, just like if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in ืงืจืงืข you are ืงื•ื ื” other ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, you should be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื too. And ืจืฉ"ื™ says that the ื’ืžืจื later on will explain it. The ื’ืžืจื will make a difference between ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ ื“ื ื™ื™ื“ื™ and ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ ื“ืœื ื ื™ื™ื“ื™, which means a difference between ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that move and ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that don't move. The ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that don't move by themselves, they are ื ืงื ื” ื‘ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘. If you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, you are automatically ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. But ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that do move, like ืขื‘ื“ื™ื that do move, that has a special ื“ื™ืŸ, and if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, you are not automatically ืงื•ื ื” those ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, unless those ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ are standing inside the ืงืจืงืข. But if the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are not standing in the ืงืจืงืข, then you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ืื’ื‘ the ืงืจืงืข. But in the meantime we see from this ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that this ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื holds that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. ื•ืชื ื™ื, and we learned in another ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื, ื”ื—ื–ื™ืง ื‘ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ืงื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. If you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ, a ื—ื–ืงื” in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, you are ืงื•ื ื” automatically the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. So obviously this ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื holds that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข, and therefore you could be ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘ the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. So the ื’ืžืจื says, ืžืื™ ืœืื• ื‘ื”ื ืงืžื™ืคืœื’ื™, don't we think that this is the ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช, ื“ืžืจ ืกื‘ืจ, that one holds ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ื›ืžืงืจืงืขื™ ื“ืžื™. The second ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื holds that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข, and therefore if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, you are automatically ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. ื•ืžืจ ืกื‘ืจ, and the other ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that says that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, because that ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื holds ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ื›ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ ื“ืžื™, ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, and therefore you cannot be ืงื•ื ื” other ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘ the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ืื™ืงื ื‘ืจื™ื” ื“ืจื‘ ืืžื™, so ืจื‘ ืื™ืงื ื‘ืจื™ื” ื“ืจื‘ ืืžื™ said, no, we cannot prove that this is a ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช between these two ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื•ืช, because we can say ื“ื›ื•ืœื™ ืขืœืžื, everyone holds, both ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื•ืช hold, that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ื›ืžืงืจืงืขื™ ื“ืžื™, that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข. ื•ื”ื ื“ืชื ื™ื ืงื ื”, ืฉืคื™ืจ, and therefore the one ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that says that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, that's good, because ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข. ื•ื”ื ื“ืชื ื™ื ืœื ืงื ื”, and the other ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื where it says that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, it's for a different reason, not because ืขื‘ื“ื™ื don't have a ื“ื™ืŸ of ืงืจืงืข, but ื‘ืขื™ื ืŸ ืงืจืงืข ื“ื•ืžื™ื ื“ืขืจื™ื ื‘ืฆื•ืจื•ืช ื‘ื™ื”ื•ื“ื”. We need ืงืจืงืข. When is there a ื“ื™ืŸ of ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘? Only if the ืงืจืงืข is similar to the fortified cities of ื™ื”ื•ื“ื”, ื“ืœื ื ื™ื™ื“ื™, which means a ืงืจืงืข that does not move. Why do we compare it to the fortified cities of ื™ื”ื•ื“ื”? Because that's the source where we know this whole ื“ื™ืŸ of ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘. ื“ืชื ืŸ, because we learn in a ืžืฉื ื”, ื ื›ืกื™ื ืฉืื™ืŸ ืœื”ื ืื—ืจื™ื•ืช, property that has no ืื—ืจื™ื•ืช, which means ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, property which you're not guaranteed with, because it could be stolen, could go away, could be taken away. So ื ื›ืกื™ื, which are ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, ื ืงื ื™ืŸ ืขื ื ื›ืกื™ื ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื”ื ืื—ืจื™ื•ืช. You could be ืงื•ื ื” them together with property which is guaranteed, which means together with ืงืจืงืข, ื‘ื›ืกืฃ ื•ื‘ืฉื˜ืจ ื•ื‘ื—ื–ืงื”. If you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข through ื›ืกืฃ, through paying money, or through writing a document, or through making a ื—ื–ืงื”, which are the ืงื ื™ื ื™ื of ืงืจืงืข, so when you make that ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข, on the ื ื›ืกื™ื ืฉื™ืฉ ืœื”ื ืื—ืจื™ื•ืช, you are automatically ืงื•ื ื” the ื ื›ืกื™ื ืฉืื™ืŸ ืœื”ื ืื—ืจื™ื•ืช. And we explained ืžื ื ื”ื ื™ ืžื™ืœื™, where we know this from? ืืžืจ ื—ื–ืงื™ื”, ื—ื–ืงื™ื” said, ื“ืืžืจ ืงืจื, because the ืคืกื•ืง says, ื•ื™ืชืŸ ืœื”ื ืื‘ื™ื”ื, their father gave them ืžืชื ื•ืช ืจื‘ื•ืช ืœื›ืกืฃ ื•ืœื–ื”ื‘ ื•ืœืžื’ื“ื ื•ืช, many presents, silver and gold and all kind of precious things, ืขื ืขืจื™ ืžืฆื•ืจื•ืช ื‘ื™ื”ื•ื“ื”, together with fortified cities of ื™ื”ื•ื“ื”. So on this ืคืกื•ืง, we see that you are able to acquire ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ together, ืื’ื‘, fortified cities of ื™ื”ื•ื“ื”, which means

Kinyan Ageb and Land vs. Slaves

together with ืงืจืงืข. So since the ืคืกื•ืง, where we learn out this whole ื“ื™ืŸ of ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘, that you could be ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ together with ืงืจืงืข, mentions a specific kind of ืงืจืงืข, the fortified cities of ื™ื”ื•ื“ื”, so over there we know that what kind of ืงืจืงืข could be used for ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘? Only if it's ืงืจืงืข that does not move. And therefore, even though ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are considered ืงืจืงืข, nevertheless, ืœื’ื‘ื™ ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘, it is a special ื“ื™ืŸ that we cannot be ืงื•ื ื” ืื’ื‘ the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื because of this ืคืกื•ืง. ืื™ื›ื ื“ืืžืจื™, some said that when ืจื‘ื™ ืื™ืงื ื‘ืจื™ื” ื“ืจื‘ ืืžื™ answered the ืกืชื™ืจื” between the two ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื•ืช, he answered it differently. ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ ืื™ืงื ื‘ืจื™ื” ื“ืจื‘ ืื™ื“ื, ืจื‘ื™ ืื™ืงื, the son of ืจื‘ ืื™ื“ื said that ื“ื›ื•ืœื™ ืขืœืžื ืขื‘ื“ื™ ื›ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ื“ืžื•, that both ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื•ืช hold ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. Before the ื’ื™ืจืกื was that both ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื•ืช hold that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข, and he answered the difference between the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื•ืช the way he did before. The ืื™ื›ื ื“ืืžืจื™ say that he answered that both ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื•ืช hold ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. ื•ื”ื ื“ืชื ื™ื ืœื ืงื ื”, and therefore this one ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that says that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, you are not ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, ืฉืคื™ืจ, that is good, because ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. ื”ื ื“ืชื ื™ื ืงื ื”, but that ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื where it says that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, and the question is, if ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, how can you be ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ by making a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื? The answer is ื‘ืขื•ื“ืŸ ืขืœื™ื•, the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ were on top of the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. And you are

Kinyan Chatzer for Items on a Slave

not ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ with the ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘, but you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ with ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ. The ื“ื™ืŸ is that if someone has ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ in his yard, in his ื—ืฆืจ, in his ืจืฉื•ืช, so then he is automatically ืงื•ื ื” those ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ. So here too, if you put the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ on top of the ืขื‘ื“, and he is ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“, the ืขื‘ื“ becomes like his ื—ืฆืจ, since it belongs to him. So anything that's put on the ืขื‘ื“, which is like in his ื—ืฆืจ, he is automatically ืงื•ื ื” it with a ืงื ื™ืŸ of ื—ืฆืจ. But the ื’ืžืจื asks, ื•ื›ื™ ืขื•ื“ืŸ ืขืœื™ื•, even if they are on him, ืžืื™ ื”ื•ื™, what is it? How could you be ืงื•ื ื” with a ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ? ื—ืฆืจ ืžื”ืœื›ืช ื”ื™ื, it's a ื—ืฆืจ, a yard that's walking, ื•ื—ืฆืจ ืžื”ืœื›ืช ืœื ืงื ื”, a yard that could walk is not ืงื•ื ื”. This ื“ื™ืŸ, that you are able to ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ with a ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ, is only in a ื—ืฆืจ that's standing in one place, but a movable ื—ืฆืจ, a movable ืจืฉื•ืช of a person is not ืงื•ื ื” for the person with ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ. So how can you say you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that are on top of the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื as a ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ when the ืขื‘ื“ is a ื—ืฆืจ ืžื”ืœื›ืช, a movable ื—ืฆืจ? ื•ื›ื™ ืชื™ืžื, ah, you might answer, ื‘ืขื•ืžื“, that here we're talking in a case where the ืขื‘ื“ is standing in one place, he is not moving, but ื•ื”ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื, didn't ืจื‘ื say, ื›ืœ ืฉืื™ืœื• ืžื”ืœืš ืœื ืงื ื”, any case that if he would be walking, he would not be ืงื•ื ื”, ืขื•ืžื“ ื•ื™ื•ืฉื‘ ืœื ืงื ื”, so also when you stand or when he's sitting, you're also not ืงื•ื ื”. Since he is able to move, already he cannot be ืงื•ื ื” with a ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ. So the question is, how can we say that the reason you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ on top of the ืขื‘ื“ is because of ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ when he is a ื—ืฆืจ ืžื”ืœื›ืช, and a ื—ืฆืจ ืžื”ืœื›ืช is not ืงื•ื ื”? But the ื’ืžืจื says, ื•ื”ืœื›ืชื, the ื”ืœื›ื” is ื‘ื›ืคื•ืช, it's a case where the ืขื‘ื“ is tied up. And since he is tied up, he cannot move, so he could be a ื—ืฆืจ, and therefore you are ืง... the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ which are on top of the ืขื‘ื“ with a ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ. But

Tosafot's Requirement: Tied and Sleeping Slave

here ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช says that it's not enough for the ืขื‘ื“ just to be ื›ืคื•ืช, just to be tied, he also has to be sleeping. And he brings ืจืื™ื•ืช from different ื’ืžืจื•ืช, and the reason is because there is another problem with ื—ืฆืจ. The only time a ื—ืฆืจ is ืงื•ื ื”, if it is a ื—ืฆืจ ื”ืžืฉืชืžืจืช ืœื“ืขืชื•, if it's a ื—ืฆืจ which is being watched for the ื“ืขืช of the person who owns the ื—ืฆืจ. But if it's a ื—ืฆืจ that is not being watched for that other person, the person who owns the ื—ืฆืจ, so then that ื—ืฆืจ is not ืงื•ื ื” for the person. So if the ืขื‘ื“ is awake, so then the ืขื‘ื“ is watching himself, and it is not for the sake of his owner, so then for a different reason it shouldn't be ืงื•ื ื” with ืงื ื™ืŸ ื—ืฆืจ, because it's not a ื—ืฆืจ ื”ืžืฉืชืžืจืช ืœื“ืขืชื•. Therefore you must say that he is also sleeping, and when he's sleeping, and the owner is standing there and watching him, he is ืžืฉืชืžืจ for the ื“ืขืช of the owner. So therefore you have to have both. You have to have ื›ืคื•ืช, he has to be tied, otherwise he would be a ื—ืฆืจ ื”ืžื”ืœื›ืช, a walking ื—ืฆืจ, and he has to be sleeping, because otherwise he would not be ืžืฉืชืžืจ ืœื“ืขืชื•. This is the opinion of ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช. But the

Rambam's Simpler View on Tied Slave

ืจืžื‘ืดื holds that it is enough if he is ื›ืคื•ืช. Then the ื’ืžืจื asks another ืงืฉื™ื: ื•ื”ืชื ื™ื ื”ื—ื–ื™ืง ื‘ืงืจืงืข ืงื ื” ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, didn't we learn in a ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื if you make a ื—ื–ืงื” ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื? And in the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื before we learned that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. And the ื’ืžืจื answers: ื”ืชื over there, ื‘ืขื•ืžื“ื™ื ื‘ืชื•ื›ื”. The ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื where it says that if you make a ื—ื–ืงื” in the ืงืจืงืข you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, is because the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are standing inside the ืงืจืงืข. But the ื’ืžืจื asks, ืžื›ืœืœ so that proves, ื“ื”ืื™ ืœื ืงื ื”, that that ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื where it says that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, ื›ืฉืื™ืŸ ืขื•ืžื“ื™ื ื‘ืชื•ื›ื”, that's when the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are not standing inside? So the difference whether you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื through the ืงืจืงืข or not would depend whether you are stand ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are standing inside or not? So ื”ื ื ื™ื—ื, that would be good ืœื”ืš ืœื™ืฉื ื, ื“ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ืื™ืงื ื‘ืจื™ื” ื“ืจื‘ ืืžื™ ืขื‘ื“ื™ ื›ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ ื“ืžื•, according to that ืœืฉื•ืŸ that ืจื‘ ืื™ืงื ื‘ืจื™ื” ื“ืจื‘ ืืžื™ said that the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื mentioned before holds ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, which is the second ืœืฉื•ืŸ in the ื’ืžืจื, so according to that, ื”ื™ื™ื ื• therefore we understand why ื“ืื™ ืขื•ืžื“ื™ื ื‘ืชื•ื›ื” ืื™ืŸ, if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are standing inside you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, ืื™ ืœื ืœื, if they're not standing inside you're not ืงื•ื ื”. Because at this point the ื’ืžืจื thought that when you are ืงื•ื ื” ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘ ืงืจืงืข, it is only if the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ are laying in the ืงืจืงืข. And therefore the ื’ืžืจื says since ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, so if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are in the ืงืจืงืข you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ืื’ื‘ ืงืจืงืข. If the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are not in the ืงืจืงืข, then you are not ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื ืื’ื‘ ืงืจืงืข, because they're not inside. ืืœื ืœื”ืš ืœื™ืฉื ื, but according to the other ืœืฉื•ืŸ, ื“ืืžืจ that he said ืขื‘ื“ื™ ื›ืžืงืจืงืขื™ ื“ืžื•, that the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื before holds that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืงืจืงืข, ืœืžื” ืœื™ ืขื•ืžื“ื™ื ื‘ืชื•ื›ื”, why do we have to have the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื stand inside? Why is the ื“ื™ืŸ that only if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are inside that's when if you make the ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข you're ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื? The ื“ื™ืŸ should be that even if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are not inside, still if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข you should be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, since the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are also like ืงืจืงืข. Because ื”ื ืืžืจ ืฉืžื•ืืœ, didn't ืฉืžื•ืืœ say, ืžื›ืจ ืœื• ืขืฉืจ ืฉื“ื•ืช ื‘ืขืฉืจ ืžื“ื™ื ื•ืช, if one sold another ten fields in ten different countries, ื›ื™ื•ืŸ ืฉื”ื—ื–ื™ืง ื‘ืื—ืช ืžื”ืŸ, as soon as he makes a ื—ื–ืงื”, a ืงื ื™ืŸ in one of the ten, ืงื ื” ื›ื•ืœืŸ, he's ืงื•ื ื” them all. So here too, as soon as he makes the ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, he should automatically be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื even if they're not inside. Because just like by ืงืจืงืข when you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on one you're ืงื•ื ื” the rest, so too here if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข you should be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื which are like other ืงืจืงืขื•ืช. So he asks him back: ื•ืœื˜ืขืžื™ืš, now according to you, you're trying to say that if we hold that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, we know why you have to stand inside, why if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื did not stand inside you are not ืงื•ื ื”. ื‘ื”ืš ืœื™ืฉื ื ื“ืืžืจ ืขื‘ื“ื™ ื›ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ ื“ืžื•, even according to that ืœืฉื•ืŸ that says that ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, ืœืžื” ืœื™ ืขื•ืžื“ื™ื ื‘ืชื•ื›ื”, why do you have to stand inside? Why shouldn't be the ื“ื™ืŸ that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข you should be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื even if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are not inside? Because ื”ื ืงื™ื™ืžื ืœืŸ, don't we ืคืกืงืŸ ื“ืœื ื‘ืขื™ื ืŸ ืฆื‘ื•ืจื™ืŸ, that when it comes to... are like ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, we know why if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are not standing inside you cannot be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื through the ืงืจืงืข? Why not, you should be ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื through the ืงืจืงืข ื‘ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘ without them standing inside! ืืœื ืžืื™ ืื™ืช ืœืš ืœืžื™ืžืจ, so but what could you tell me, what answer will you give me according to you why he has to stand inside? Because ืฉืื ื™ ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™, that an item of ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ ื“- ื“ืœื ื ื™ื™ื“ื™, because even when it comes to ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘, where we say that you do not have to have the ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, there is still a difference what kind of a ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ it is. ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that do not move, they do not have to be in the ืงืจืงืข in order to be ืงื•ื ื” them ื‘ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘. But ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that do move, which means ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, even though they're ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ, the only way you could be ืงื•ื ื” them ื‘ืงื ื™ืŸ ืื’ื‘ is if they are in the ืงืจืงืข. So you

Distinguishing Moving vs. Nonโ€‘Moving Property

yourself must make a difference between ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that move and ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that don't move, ื”ื›ื ื ืžื™ so too I could answer you the same. You asked a question on me: why, if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข, are you not ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื unless the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื stand inside? And your ืงื•ืฉื™ื was, since the ื“ื™ืŸ is by ืงืจืงืข if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on one ืงืจืงืข automatically you're ืงื•ื ื” all the other ืงืจืงืขื•ืช, so the ื“ื™ืŸ should be that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on the ืงืจืงืข you should automatically be ืงื•ื ื” all the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. So we could make the same difference: ืฉืื ื™ ืžืงืจืงืข ื“ื ื™ื™ื“ื™ ืžืžืงืจืงืข ื“ืœื ื ื™ื™ื“ื™. There is a difference between ืงืจืงืข that moves and ืงืจืงืข that doesn't move. Just like you made a difference between ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that moves and ืžื˜ืœื˜ืœื™ืŸ that don't move, I can make the difference between ืงืจืงืข that moves and ืงืจืงืข that don't move. And ืขื‘ื“ื™, ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are ืงืจืงืข ื“ื ื™ื™ื“ื™ ื”ื•ื, ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are ืงืจืงืข that move. So there we do not say the ื“ื™ืŸ that if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on one ืงืจืงืข, automatically the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื wherever they are are also ื ืงื ื” because they are like ืงืจืงืข. Because ื”ืชื ืกื“ื ื ื“ืืจืขื ื—ื“ ื”ื•ื, the reason why by a regular ืงืจืงืข if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ on one ืงืจืงืข, automatically all other ืงืจืงืขื•ืช wherever they are are ื ืงื ื” is because the land is all one. The whole world is one big block, and therefore they're all connected. You make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in one, automatically the ืงื ื™ืŸ is also for the others. But in the case of ืขื‘ื“ื™ื, even though it has a ื“ื™ืŸ like ืงืจืงืข, but it is not connected to the ืงืจืงืข, and therefore when you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, it doesn't automatically help for the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. But if the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื are standing in the ืงืจืงืข, then it does help, and therefore if you make a ืงื ื™ืŸ in the ืงืจืงืข, you are ืงื•ื ื” the ืขื‘ื“ื™ื. Then the

Mishna on Damage and Holy Property

ื’ืžืจื continues to explain the ืžืฉื ื”. It taught in the ืžืฉื ื”: ื‘ื ื›ืกื™ื ืฉืื™ืŸ ื‘ื”ื ืžืขื™ืœื” ื•ื›ื•ืœื™, that when are you ื—ื™ื™ื‘ for the damage that you caused? Only if the damage was caused to such property that you are not ืžื•ืขืœ if you have any use from it. Because the ื“ื™ืŸ is that if a person has any use from property that belongs to ื”ืงื“ืฉ, he is considered a ืžื•ืขืœ ื‘ื”ืงื“ืฉ. So the ื“ื™ืŸ is that if you cause damage to such property that a person is able to be ืžื•ืขืœ on them, you are not ื—ื™ื™ื‘, because you are not ื—ื™ื™ื‘ for damage done to ื”ืงื“ืฉ. But if it is property that a person could not be ืžื•ืขืœ in those property, so then if you damage such property, you are ื—ื™ื™ื‘. So the ื’ืžืจื is ืžื“ื™ื™ืง: ืžืขื™ืœื” ื”ื•ื ื“ืœื™ืช ื‘ื”ื•, ื”ื ืžืงื“ืฉ ืงื“ืฉื™. From the way the ืžืฉื ื” expresses this ื“ื™ืŸ, the ืžืฉื ื” doesn't say that you are only ื—ื™ื™ื‘ if it's property which are not ื”ืงื“ืฉ. The ืžืฉื ื” says you are ื—ื™ื™ื‘ if it's property which you are not ืžื•ืขืœ in, as if the ืžืฉื ื” is saying that there is a possibility for property to be ื”ืงื“ืฉ and nevertheless you should not be ืžื•ืขืœ, and in that case you would be ื—ื™ื™ื‘. Because if there would be no such possibility, the the ืžืฉื ื” should have said very clear that only if it is ื ื›ืกื™ื which is not ื”ืงื“ืฉ. Since it doesn't say that, it is trying to tell us that it doesn't depend on whether it is ื”ืงื“ืฉ or not, it depends on whether you are ืžื•ืขืœ or not. That even if it is ื”ืงื“ืฉ, but as long as it's a kind of ื”ืงื“ืฉ that a person cannot be ืžื•ืขืœ in, you are ื—ื™ื™ื‘ for the ื ื–ืงื™ืŸ. So the ื’ืžืจื says: ืžืืŸ ืชื ื? Who is this ืชื ื? Who holds that there is a possibility for something to be ื”ืงื“ืฉ and nevertheless a person should not be ืžื•ืขืœ in them?

R. Yochanan on Light Sacred Items

ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ื—ื ืŸ, so ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ื—ื ืŸ said: ื‘ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, ื•ืืœื™ื‘ื ื“ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ ื“ืืžืจ ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื ื”ื•ื. So this would fit if the case would be ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื. In ืงื“ืฉื™ื, in ืงืจื‘ื ื•ืช, we have two categories: we have ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื, which is the holiest, and then we have ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, which means easier types of ืงืจื‘ื ื•ืช. For instance, a ืงืจื‘ืŸ ืขื•ืœื” or similar things is ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื, and a ืงืจื‘ืŸ ืฉืœืžื™ื, or ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, or ืžืขืฉืจ, or ืคืกื—, that is called ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื. And there are differences in the ื“ื™ื ื™ื between ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื and ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื. ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื must be eaten in the ืขื–ืจื”, in the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, while ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื could be eaten in the whole of ื™ืจื•ืฉืœื™ื, and many other ื“ื™ื ื™ื where we find the difference between ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื and ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื. So concerning ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ says that they are considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, they're considered property of the owner. When a person makes an animal into ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื, then then that is not considered his anymore, now it belongs to ื”ืฉื, and therefore if a person would have any use from it, he would be ืžื•ืขืœ ื‘ืงื“ืฉื™ื. But ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, if a person has use from it, he is not considered ืžื•ืขืœ ื‘ืงื“ืฉื™ื, because the ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื are still considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, they are still considered that they belong to the owner. So here we have an example of something which is ืงื“ืฉื™ื, and nevertheless you are not ืžื•ืขืœ in it. And that's what the ืžืฉื ื” means, that as long as you are not ืžื•ืขืœ, you would be ื—ื™ื™ื‘ for the ื”ื™ื–ืง. And we asked, where do we find something that should be ื”ืงื“ืฉ, should be ืงื“ืฉื™ื, and you still shouldn't be ืžื•ืขืœ? And the answer is, it is ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™. Where do is do we see the ื“ื™ืŸ of ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™? ื“ืชื ื™ื, we learn in a ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื, the ืคืกื•ืง says ื•ืžืขืœื” ืžืขืœ ื‘ื”' that if a person will sin, it says, and he will transgress against ื”', and the ืคืกื•ืง continues ื•ื›ื™ื—ืฉ ื‘ืขืžื™ืชื•, and he's going to deny in his friend, and then he swears false, so the end is that he must pay and bring a ืงืจื‘ืŸ ืืฉื. So since the ืชื•ืจื” says ื•ืžืขืœื” ืžืขืœ ื‘ื”' that by doing this ืขื‘ื™ืจื”, by denying the money that he owes his friend, he is doing an ืขื‘ื™ืจื” against ื”', ืœืจื‘ื•ืช, this comes to include ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, that even if this transgression, this denial, was concerning ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, still he is considered that he denied his friend's money, and he would be ื—ื™ื™ื‘ in the ืฉื‘ื•ืขืช ื”ืคืงื“ื•ืŸ. Why? ืฉื”ื ืžืžื•ื ื•, because they are his money, they're still the money of the friend, ื“ื‘ืจื™ ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, that's what ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ says. So ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ says that if someone denies money of his friend, even if the money is ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, it is still considered that he denied the money of his friend, because ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is money of his friend because it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. Then the

Kiddush with Sacred Shares Not Valid

ื’ืžืจื asks, ื•ื”ืชื ืŸ, didn't we learn in a ืžืฉื ื”: ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ ื‘ื—ืœืงื•, ื‘ื™ืŸ ื‘ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื, ื‘ื™ืŸ ื‘ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, ืื™ื ื” ืžืงื•ื“ืฉืช. If someone is ืžืงื“ืฉ a woman with his portion in the ืงืจื‘ืŸ, whether it is his portion in ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื, or it is his portion in ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, she is not ืžืงื•ื“ืฉืช, the woman doesn't become his wife, because the ื“ื™ืŸ is that you're only able to ืžืงื“ืฉ a woman with your money, but if the money is not yours, the ืงื™ื“ื•ืฉื™ืŸ is not valid. And this is what the ืžืฉื ื” says, that if a person is ืžืงื“ืฉ with his part in a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, whether it is ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื or ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, the ืงื™ื“ื•ืฉื™ืŸ is not valid because it is not considered his money. So ืœื™ืžื, let us say, ื“ืœื ื›ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, that this ืžืฉื ื” will not fit according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™. Because according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, we just said that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is considered his money, so the ื“ื™ืŸ should be that if someone is ืžืงื“ืฉ a woman with ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, she should be ืžืงื•ื“ืฉืช. And in this ืžืฉื ื” it says that even with ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, she is not ืžืงื•ื“ืฉืช. And the ื’ืžืจื answers, ืืคื™ืœื• ืชื™ืžื ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, really you could even say that the ืžืฉื ื” goes according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™. ืื™ื™ ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is his money, and this ืžืฉื ื” says that if you're ืžืงื“ืฉ with ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื she is not ืžืงื•ื“ืฉืช, because ื›ื™ ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, ืžื—ื™ื™ื. When did ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ say that it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื? That is only when the ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, that ืงืจื‘ืŸ is still alive. So then we say it's still considered the ืžืžื•ืŸ, the money of its owner. So therefore, if he would be ืžืงื“ืฉ a woman with that animal which is ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื while it's alive, she would be ืžืงื•ื“ืฉืช. ืื‘ืœ ืื—ืจ ืฉื—ื™ื˜ื”, but after you ืฉื—ื˜ the ืงืจื‘ืŸ, and then you get your share of the ืงืจื‘ืŸ, ืืคื™ืœื• ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ ืžื•ื“ื”, even ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ admits ื“ื›ื™ ืงื ื–ื›ื•, ืžืฉื•ืœื—ืŸ ื’ื‘ื•ื” ืงื ื–ื›ื•, that those that are ื–ื•ื›ื”, those that get a share in the ืงืจื‘ืŸ, get from the table of ื”'. In other words, then, when you ืฉื—ื˜ it, it becomes a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, then you lose your ownership, then it becomes ื”''s, and anybody who gets a share in the ืงืจื‘ืŸ only gets a share in ื”''s ืงืจื‘ืŸ, so it's not really his. And therefore, you cannot be ืžืงื“ืฉ with your share in ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื because that share is not yours, it is ื”''s. And that's why the ืžืฉื ื” says that if you're ืžืงื“ืฉ with your share in ืงื“ืฉื™ ืงื“ืฉื™ื or in ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, she is not ืžืงื•ื“ืฉืช, and this fits even according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™. But then the ื’ืžืจื asks: ื•ืžื—ื™ื™ื ืžื™ ืืžืจ? And while the animal is alive, did ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ then say that it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื? In other words, we said before that at least when the animal is alive, ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that it's ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, and the ื’ืžืจื is going to prove that according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, it never is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, not even when it's alive. ื•ื”ืชื ืŸ, didn't we learn in a ืžืฉื ื”: ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, if you have a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, that is a firstborn animal, and a firstborn animal is really supposed to be set aside as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, and you're supposed to give it away to the ื›ื”ืŸ, so the

Selling a Live Firstborn (Bekhor) Animal

ืžืฉื ื” says, ืžื•ื›ืจื™ืŸ ืื•ืชื• ืชื ื—ื™, that while it's alive, you're allowed to sell it if it doesn't have a blemish. And as ืจืฉ''ื™ says, the ื’ืžืจื will explain soon that this is talking in a case of ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื–ื”, nowadays when we cannot bring it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ anyway. So what you do with a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ is you must wait till it gets a blemish and then you're able to ืฉื—ื˜ it. So, as long as it didn't get a blemish blemish, you're also allowed to sell it, because the person who will buy it will just have to wait till it gets a blemish and then he'll be able to use it. But if while it was a ืชืžื™ื, not a ื‘ืขืœ ืžื•ื, it was ืฉื—ื•ื˜, if someone ืฉื—ื˜ it while it was a ืชื, then you can't use it at all, because you weren't allowed to ืฉื—ื˜ it, and therefore all you could do with it is bury it. But while it's alive, you could sell it if it's a ืชื. ื•ื‘ืขืœ ืžื•ื, if it has a ืžื•ื, you could sell it ื—ื™ ื•ืฉื—ื•ื˜, you could sell it or alive or after you ืฉื—ื˜ it, because you're allowed to eat a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ that has a ืžื•ื if you ืฉื—ื˜ it. ื•ืžืงื“ืฉื™ืŸ ื‘ื• ืืช ื”ืืฉื”, and you could be ืžืงื“ืฉ a woman with this ื‘ื›ื•ืจ. That's what it says in the ืžืฉื ื”. ื•ืืžืจ ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื” ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื•ื”, so ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ in the name of ืจื‘ื” ื‘ืจ ืื‘ื•ื” explained ืคืฉื˜ in this ืžืฉื ื” that ืœื ืฉื ื•, this ื“ื™ืŸ was not learned, ืืœื ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื–ื”, only concerning a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ nowadays. ื“ื›ื™ื•ืŸ ื“ืœื ื—ื–ื™ ืœื”ืงืจื‘ื”, since you cannot be ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it anyway because we have no ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, ืื™ืช ืœื”ื• ืœื›ื”ื ื™ื ื–ื›ื™ื™ื” ื‘ื’ื•ื•ื™ื™ื”ื•, so the ื›ื”ื ื™ื have a ื–ื›ื•ืช in it, so the ื›ื”ื ื™ื own it. Since a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ has to be given away to the ื›ื”ื ื™ื, so at the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, the ื›ื”ื ื™ื had to use it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, so it wouldn't be considered the ื›ื”ืŸ's property. But nowadays, when the ื›ื”ืŸ can't bring it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ anyway, so now we say it's considered the ื›ื”ืŸ's property, and therefore the ื›ื”ืŸ could use this ื‘ื›ื•ืจ to be ืžืงื“ืฉ a ืืฉื” with it because it is his money. ืื‘ืœ ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ืฉื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ ืงื™ื™ื, but in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, ื“ื—ื–ื™ ืœื”ืงืจื‘ื”, that you were able to be ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it, ืœื. So then the ื›ื”ืŸ could not be ืžืงื“ืฉ a woman with this ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, because it is not considered his property. ื•ืื™ืชื™ื‘ื™ื” ืจื‘ื ืœืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, and ืจื‘ื asked a ืงื•ืฉื™ื to ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ: How can you say that in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, since you were able to use it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, the ื›ื”ืŸ could not use this to be ืžืงื“ืฉ a ืืฉื”? Didn't we learn the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื where it says, ื•ืžืขืœื” ืžืขืœ ื‘ื”' ืœืจื‘ื•ืช ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื ืฉื”ื ืžืžื•ื ื•, ื“ื‘ืจื™ ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™? That since the ืคืกื•ืง says ื•ืžืขืœื” ืžืขืœ ื‘ื”', concerning the person who denied money, the ืชื•ืจื” says that he denied in ื”'. So from here ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ learns out that even if it's ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, it is also considered his money. That's why the ื“ื™ืŸ of ืฉื‘ื•ืขืช ื”ืคืงื“ื•ืŸ will apply to ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, too. So we see that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, and one of them is a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, is considered money of the owner. And we cannot say that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ is speaking only in the time

Rabbi Yossi Gelili on ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื in Temple Times

when there was no ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื–ื”, because he learns it out from the ืคืกื•ืง ื•ืžืขืœื” ืžืขืœ ื‘ื”'. And the ืคืกื•ืง is definitely speaking in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ. So we see that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that even in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื was considered the money of its owner. So how could ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ say before that this ื“ื™ืŸ that a ื›ื”ืŸ could be ืžืงื“ืฉ with a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, which is ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, only apply ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื–ื”, but not in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, when we see that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that even in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื was considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื? ื•ืžืฉื ื™ ืจื‘ื™ื ื, and ืจื‘ื™ื ื had answered, ื‘ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ื‘ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ, ื•ืืœื™ื‘ื ื“ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ, that when ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ said that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, is also in a case where it doesn't really have to be a ืงืจื‘ืŸ. It is definitely speaking in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, because he learns it out from the ืคืกื•ืง, but nevertheless, it is in a case where even in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, it wasn't necessarily a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, and that is why he says it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. But something which is definitely a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, even ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ will admit that it's not ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. Now, what kind of ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื could it be in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ that doesn't necessarily have to be a ืงืจื‘ืŸ? So he

Rabbi Shimonโ€™s Rule for a Foreignโ€‘Born ื‘ื›ื•ืจ

says it goes according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ, ื“ืืžืจ, that ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ said, ืื ื‘ืื• ืชืžื™ืžื™ื ื™ืงืจื‘ื•, that a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ that was born in ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ, it was born outside of ืืจืฅ ื™ืฉืจืืœ, so ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ says that if it came to ื™ืจื•ืฉืœื™ื without a blemish, then you could be ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ. So we see from here that he holds, ืื ื‘ืื•, and, if it came, if someone brought it to ื™ืจื•ืฉืœื™ื, then you are ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ. But ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” ืœื, ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” you do not have to bring it to ื™ืจื•ืฉืœื™ื to be ืžืงืจื™ื‘ as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ. So here we have an example of ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, because a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ is ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, and that it is in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, and nevertheless, it is not necessarily a ืงืจื‘ืŸ. And that's the kind of ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ meant that is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. And that's the answer he gave why it doesn't contradict what ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said, that this whole ื“ื™ืŸ that he could be ืžืงื“ืฉ a ืืฉื” with it is only ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื–ื”, and this doesn't contradict what ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ said, because ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ is also talking in a case where it is not a real ืงืจื‘ืŸ. Now the

Gmaraโ€™s Question on Rabbi Yossi Geliliโ€™s Live ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื

ื’ืžืจื asks: After all this, ื•ืื™ืžื, say, if it is true ื“ื›ื™ ืืžืจ ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ ืžืžื•ื ื• ื”ื•ื ืžื—ื™ื™ื, that while the animal is alive ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ definitely holds that it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, ืœืฉื ื™, why didn't he answer, why didn't ืจื‘ื™ื ื answer, ื”ื ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ ื”ื ืจื‘ื ืŸ, that the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื of ื•ืžืขืœื” ืžืขืœ ื‘ื”', where we quoted ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ who said that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, that's the opinion of ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™. What ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said, that the ืžืฉื ื” says that you could be ืžืงื“ืฉ with your ื‘ื›ื•ืจ is only ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื–ื”, but not in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, he said that according to the ืจื‘ื ืŸ. And since we do not answer that, that shows that even according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, we do not say that he holds that under normal circumstances ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื even while it's alive. In other words, what the ื’ืžืจื is trying to say is very simple. The ื’ืžืจื is really asking a simple question. When ืจื‘ื asked to ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, when ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said that ื‘ื–ืžืŸ of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ you were not able to be ืžืงื“ืฉ a ืืฉื” with ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, and ืจื‘ื asked him a ืงืฉื™ื, how does that fit with the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื where it says ื•ืžืขืœื” ืžืขืœ ื‘ื”' that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, why didn't the ื’ืžืจื answer, very simple, that there is a ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช between ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ and the ืจื‘ื ืŸ? That the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื of ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ is the opinion of ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, and when ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said that ื‘ื–ืžืŸ ื”ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ you were not able to be ืžืงื“ืฉ an ืืฉื”, that is according to the ืจื‘ื ืŸ. It's a very simple question. We could answer, one is ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, one is the ืจื‘ื ืŸ. And the only reason we could find why the ื’ืžืจื did not answer that is if the truth is that even according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ the ื“ื™ืŸ is that under normal circumstances it is not considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. And therefore the ื’ืžืจื couldn't answer that that according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, and according to the ื—ื›ืžื™ื it's not, because even according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ it is not truly ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. And that's why the ื’ืžืจื had to find that according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ it is only ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื if it is concerning a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ that came from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ. So if we're going to say that, that that is the reason the ื’ืžืจื did not answer that one is ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, one is the ืจื‘ื ืŸ, that proves that according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™, also he holds that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is not ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. So according to that, the ื’ืžืจื asks, how could we say before that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that while the animal is alive, the ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื is alive, it is considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื? And therefore if someone would cause damage to that animal, he would have to pay because it's ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, when from this whole discussion we see that even according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ it is not really considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, and that is why the reason why the ื’ืžืจื did not answer that one is ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ and the other thing is according to the ื—ื›ืžื™ื? The ื’ืžืจื says, no, really according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. The reason the ื’ืžืจื did not say that the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื is according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ and ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ was speaking according to the ืจื‘ื ืŸ, because ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื” ืงืืžืจืช, you're talking about ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”? We're

ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”: Why a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ Isnโ€™t Ownerโ€™s Property

not talking about regular ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื. We're talking about ื‘ื›ื•ืจ. ื‘ื›ื•ืจ is one of the ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”. There are 24 ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”. There are different things that you're supposed to give to a ื›ื”ืŸ, and one of the things you're supposed to give to a ื›ื”ืŸ is ื‘ื›ื•ืจ. By ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”, there's a special ื“ื™ืŸ: ืฉืื ื™ ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”, ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื” are different, ื“ื›ื™ ืงื ื–ื›ื•, ืžืฉืœื—ืŸ ื’ื‘ื•ื” ืงื ื–ื›ื•, that when the ื›ื”ืŸ gets his ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”, he is ื–ื•ื›ื”, he gets it from ื”ืฉื. And that is not considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. So a regular ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื like ืฉืœืžื™ื is considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. But when it comes to ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”, when the ื›ื”ืŸ gets his share, his ืžืชื ื”, so that is not considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. And therefore the ื’ืžืจื couldn't say concerning a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds it's ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื and the ืจื‘ื ืŸ hold it's not, because concerning ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, which is from the ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”, even ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that it is not ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. And the only possibility we found to explain that even by ื‘ื›ื•ืจ according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื is only if it is a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ that came from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ that cannot be brought as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, there it would be ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. But a regular ื‘ื›ื•ืจ in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ, ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ would admit that it is not called ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. But a ืฉืœืžื™ื, another kind of ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ does hold that it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื as long as it is alive. But then one could ask, so before when ืจื‘ื™ื ื answered the ืงืฉื™ื that ืจื‘ื asked to ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ, why didn't he answer the ืงืฉื™ื different? Why did he have to say that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ is speaking in the case of ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ื‘ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ, why didn't he say very simple, that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ is speaking in the case of ืฉืœืžื™ื? When ืจื‘ ื ื—ืžืŸ said that in the time of the ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืžืงื“ืฉ you cannot be ืžืงื“ืฉ with ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, that is not ืฉืœืžื™ื, that is concerning ื‘ื›ื•ืจ. When ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ said that ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, that is concerning ืฉืœืžื™ื. And that would be an easier answer than to say that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ is speaking about a case of ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ื‘ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ. Now ืจืฉ"ื™

Rashi Clarifies the Discussion Refers to a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ

says, because we see from the end of that ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ is speaking about ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, because later in the ื‘ืจื™ื™ืชื ื‘ืŸ ืขื–ืื™ comes to explain ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ and he says, ืœื ืืžืจ ื‘ืŸ ืขื–ืื™ ืืœื ื‘ื‘ื›ื•ืจ. So we see that we're talking about ื‘ื›ื•ืจ. Therefore, we have to find that even by the case of ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that it's ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. And since ื‘ื›ื•ืจ is from the ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”, and ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื” is different as the ื’ืžืจื says, there ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ admits that it's not ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, so the only way the ื’ืžืจื could find that even by ื‘ื›ื•ืจ, according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ it should be ืžืชื ื•ืช ื›ื”ื•ื ื”, was if it is ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ื‘ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ. And that's why when ืจื‘ื™ื ื answered the ืงืฉื™ื, the only way he could answer it is by saying that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ is speaking by a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ื‘ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ. When the ื’ืžืจื quoted the opinion of ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ concerning a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ ื‘ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ, that if it came from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ as a ืชืžื™ื, without a blemish, then you are ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it, but ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” you don't have to bring it from there. So ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช says that this is a ืžื—ืœื•ืงืช between ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ and ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื. ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื holds that even if they brought it from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ, you still are not ืžืงืจื™ื‘ a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ of ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ. And he learns it out because we compare it to ืžืขืฉืจ ืฉื ื™, and we say that from those places that you have to bring ืžืขืฉืจ ืฉื ื™, you have to be ืžืงืจื™ื‘ the ื‘ื›ื•ืจ that comes from there. But those places where you do not bring ืžืขืฉืจ ืฉื ื™, so then you do not bring the ื‘ื›ื•ืจ to be ืžืงืจื™ื‘. And since from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ you do not bring ืžืขืฉืจ ืฉื ื™, so too, you are not ืžืงืจื™ื‘ a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ that comes from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ. Then

Tosafot Analyzes Disagreement Between Rabbi Shimon and Rabbi Akiva

ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช asks a ืงืฉื™ื: according to that, when the ื’ืžืจื said that according to ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ a ื‘ื›ื•ืจ is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื if it came from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ, when you don't really have to be ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it, and according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ who says that ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” you don't have to bring it, is ืžืฉืžืข that this only fits according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ. Since ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ says that ืœื›ืชื—ื™ืœื” you don't have to bring it to be ืžืงืจื™ื‘, so according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ we understand why ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ holds that this ื‘ื›ื•ืจ would be ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. But according to the other opinions, it's ืžืฉืžืข then we couldn't understand why it should be ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. ืœื›ืื•ืจื”, it's just the opposite, that certainly it should be according to the other opinion! The other opinion, as we said, is ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื, who holds that you don't even bring it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ even if you brought it to ื™ืจื•ืฉืœื™ื. So according to ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื, it certainly is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. So why did the ื’ืžืจื say that ืจื‘ื™ ื™ื•ืกื™ ื”ื’ืœื™ืœื™ says it's ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื if it comes from ื—ื•ืฅ ืœืืจืฅ according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ, which is ืžืฉืžืข that not according to ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื, when really according to ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื it certainly is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื? And ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช answers, the reason the ื’ืžืจื picks according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ is because, since we talk about ืงื“ืฉื™ื ืงืœื™ื, which is similar to ืฉืœืžื™ื, and ืฉืœืžื™ื you are ืžืงืจื™ื‘, so he wants to pick an example of something that you are ืžืงืจื™ื‘, but something that is not a real ืงืจื‘ืŸ. And therefore he says, according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ we understand: since it is a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, because if you do bring it you are ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it, so it's ื“ื•ืžื™ื ื“ืฉืœืžื™ื, and nevertheless, it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื because you do not have to bring it. And another ืชื™ืจื•ืฅ ืชื•ืกืคื•ืช gives that we couldn't say that it goes according to ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื, since we need a ืคืกื•ืง to tell us that this is called ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, now according to ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื we wouldn't need a ืคืกื•ืง. Since according to ืจื‘ื™ ืขืงื™ื‘ื you are not allowed to be ืžืงืจื™ื‘ it as a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, so it is definitely ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. Why do we need the ืคืกื•ืง? Since we need the ืคืกื•ืง, obviously it is something that is a ื—ื™ื“ื•ืฉ that it is ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื. And that is only according to ืจื‘ื™ ืฉืžืขื•ืŸ. Since if you do bring it it is a ืงืจื‘ืŸ, so if not for the ืคืกื•ืง we would not know it's ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื, and that's where the ืคืกื•ืง comes in and tells us that this ืงืจื‘ืŸ, since if you didn't bring it you don't have to bring it, it is not a real ืงืจื‘ืŸ, therefore it is considered ืžืžื•ืŸ ื‘ืขืœื™ื.
