No, I'll try it. Okay. Uh-oh. The flight got delayed, so Okay. Bug just flew in. Okay, I'm not complaining. We just learned yesterday, ืืืื ืืฆื That's that's called ones. I'll give you another one. This is like Send another, I don't want to. I don't need it. Never mind. Never mind. That's a siman the rav doesn't want. Yes, a siman the rav doesn't want. A siman that Hashem doesn't want you to drink. Maybe that bug wants a sip, so it's a ืืืจืืจ. He wants to sit by a shiur. Yes, a ืืืจืืจ. Tikkun tikkun Yeah, you didn't make a berachah, did you? I did. I took a sip. And while I took a sip, I looked and saw it. What I drank was no problem. It's It's ืืื ืืฉืฉืื. The bug itself is not ืืื. But the bug is not lost. The the ืืืืข is in the cup. The bug is stymied, so It is ื ืืชื ืืขื ืืคืื, also. Yeah, the only time it's not ื ืืชื ืืขื, is a ืขืืืจ. A mouse. A mouse in wine. It's a whole siman in Yoreh Deah. Okay,
ืืืื ืื Gemara here, the Mishnah talks about ืืืงืช ืืืชืื. The din is here about someone who has a house house or a field or whatever it is, and sitting there for three years, and somebody comes and a ืืขืจืขืจ, we call him Let's give him the name. The guy who is sitting in the field is called a ืืืืืง. The one that's coming to complain is called a ืืขืจืขืจ. And he is ืืขืจืขืจ. He says, \"This field that you're sitting, this house you're sitting, is mine.\" And obviously, the case is he has ืจืืืืช it's his. He has a ืฉืืจ or people know it's his. \"What are you doing in my field?\" He says, \"What do you mean? I bought it from you.\" \"Bought it? Where is your ืฉืืจ?\" So the din is, if it's less than three years, takeh, if he has no ืฉืืจ and he has no ืจืืื he bought it, this guy has a ืจืืื it's his, so he gets out. He takes away the house. If it's three years, he has a chazakah. That's the din. And memeila, the guy doesn't, even though he doesn't have a ืฉืืจ, the ืืขืจืขืจ cannot take it away. ืืืื ืื Gemara: ืืืจ ืจืื ืืืื ื: ืฉืืขืชื ืืืืืื ืืืฉื. Rabbi Yochanan said, \"I heard from the people who were in Usha.\" Usha was one of the ten stops that the Sanhedrin made. It says ืขืฉืจื... Rashi brings that the Sanhedrin originally were in ืืฉืืช ืืืืืช by the ืืืช ืืืงืืฉ, but then they left, and they went At one point, they were in Usha. Actually, the Gemara says many times, ืืืืฉื ืืชืงืื ื that a lot of ืชืงื ืืช they made in Usha. So some of the people from Usha said like this, that ืืื ืืืืจืื, they said, ืื ืืื ืืืืงื ืืณ ืฉื ืื? Where do you find this the din, the re'ayah for a din of chazakah for three years? ืืฉืืจ ืืืืขื. We learn it out from a ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื. What's a
ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื? If an ox gores, so the first three times, he's only a ืชื. ืชื means you only pay ืืฆื ื ืืง. You only pay half. If the damage that he caused was $100, you only pay 50. But then, then after he becomes a ืืืขื, after three times, he becomes a ืืืขื, and then you pay ื ืืง ืฉืื. So he learns out, ืื ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, just like by this ox, ืืืื ืฉื ืื ืืณ ื ืืืืืช, as soon as he gored three times, ื ืคืง ืืื ืืืืงืช ืชื ืืงื ืืื ืืืืงืช ืืืขื, it leaves, it's not a ืชื anymore. It leaves the status of a ืชื, now it becomes a status of a ืืืขื. ืืื ื ืื here too, ืืืื ืืืืื ืชืืช ืฉื ืื ื ืคืงื ืื ืืจืฉืืช ืืืืจ ืืงืืืื ืื ืืจืฉืืช ืืืงื. If it he ate, he was there in the field for three years, that he goes out from the ืจืฉืืช of the seller, and now it's his, and that's why he's allowed to keep it. The Gemara goes into other ืคืจืืื. Then I'm going to start from the second half because I don't know how long this will take, because of this. So if you don't have a shtar for three years, you don't have a shtar In the middle of the three years, if he doesn't have a shtar, he gets out. After the three years, and he ืืขื ืณื He stays there. Because he ืืขื ืณืก, \"I bought it.\" And that's where the Gemara takes it from. Here the
Gemara asks a ืฉืืื: If you learn it out from ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, the din is like this, that the chazakah that you have to have is, let's say in a field, it gives food, crop, once a season, one season a year, so you have to have it for three years. What happens if, for some reason, there was more than one season in that field, and you happen to take out three ืืืืืืช, we call it. Is that good enough, like three years? Like three years. Less than three years. So it's less than three years. Example, what? So the Gemara, I'll get In a Give a second, we'll see. The quality of food? Huh? Not a quality. It gives out This a machloket between It's a machloket between Rabbi Yishmael and the Chachamim. I'll give you an example. Rabbi Yishmael says at the end of the Mishnah, if in the field, ืื ืก ืืช ืชืืืืชื, if the person took off, harvested the grapes, Here ืชืืืื means grapes. ืืืกืง ืืช ืืืชืื, he harvested the olives. There was a season of grapes, then in that same field right after that was a season of olives, and then ืืืื ืก ืืช ืงืืฆื, and figs. Figs. ืืจื ืืื ืืณ ืฉื ืื, even though it's one year, but it's ke'ilu it's equivalent to three years. But that's only the opinion of Rabbi Yishmael. Chachamim argue. Okay, I'm mentioning it because we'll see in the Gemara, because it's like because it has to be three ืืืืืืช, yeah. Frekt di Gemara like this: ืื ืืจืื ืืืืจ ืืืืจ ืจืืืง ื ืืืืืชืื ืืืื ืงืืจื ื ืืืืืชืื ืื ืื ืฉืื? We just said we learned it out from a ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื. Just like a ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื is three years becomes three ื ืืืืืช becomes a ืืืขื,
here also. There's a machloket between Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda. Rabbi Meir says that even though from the pasuk we learn out that when does he become a ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื? Only if he gores three times in three separate days. That's what we learn out. So there's a machloket between Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda. Rabbi Meir says, if ืจืืืง ื ืืืืืชืื ืืืื, if there was a bigger space, there were three days, you're ืืืื ื ืืง ืฉืื, ืงืืจื ื ืืืืืชืื ืื ืื ืฉืื? So if the same three happened in one day, closer, vadai you should be ืืืื ื ืืง ืฉืื. So Rabbi Meir holds that even it doesn't have to be three three ื ืืืืืช in three days in order to be ืืืื. Rabbi Yehuda holds that even if it's three ื ืืืืืช in in one day it's called one. It doesn't doesn't work. So the Gemara asks, according to ืจืื ืืืืจ, ืืืื ืชืืชื ืคืืจื ืืื ืืืื, what happens if there are three types of fruit that you ate in one day, ืืืื ืชืื ื, ืืืืื ืืืงื? And the Gemara answered, finally the Gemara comes a kashya that there should be, if you ate three ืืืืืืช, it should be, because just like by the ืฉืืจ it's not the ืืืจ in the three days, it's the ืืืจ in three ื ืืืืืช. So here also, it should be three ืืืืืืช, not the ืืืจ of three ืืื ืื, like the three years. And the Gemara answers, yeah, you know who the halacha who she is? Rabbi Yishmael. He takeh holds like that. That's the Gemara. The Gemara's kashya is only according to Rabbi Meir. According to Rabbi Meir who says that if you gore three times, the ืฉืืจ gores three times in one day you should be ืืืื, so here also, if you have three ืืืืืืช, even if it's not three years, you should be a chazakah. So Rashi says, ืืืืืจ ืืจืื ืืืืื ืืืืจ ืืืื ืงืื ืืื ืืืขื ืื ืฉืืื ืื ืฉืืฉื ืืืื, according to ืจืื ืืืืื he says it's only three days, ืืืื ืืืืืจ ืืื ืืณ ืฉื ืื ืืืืื ืืืณ ืืืื. So here you need three years like over there three days. ืืื ืืจืื ืืืืจ ืืืืจ ืืชื ืืคืืื ื ืื ืืณ ืคืขืืื ืืืื ืืื ืืื ืืืขื ืืงื ืืืืืจ, he says even in three days it's a ืืืขื, ืืื ื ืื, here it should be the same thing, ืืืื ืชืืชื ืคืืจื ืืื ืืืื. If you ate three in one day, ืืืฉื, which would be three ืืืื ืชืื ื, it should also be ืืื ื ืื ืชืืื ืืืงื. And the Gemara takeh answers whatever the Gemara answers. Comes the Chasam Sofer, That was Rabbi Meir. Huh? That was Rabbi Meir. That was Rabbi Meir. Comes the Chasam Sofer, Why you're learning about a different kind of food? It could be the same food in the morning, noon, and No, no. If it's the same food, it's all one ืืืฉื. It has to be three separate ืืืืืืช. Yeah, but if you That's why even Rabbi Yishmael gives an example gives an example of grapes, olives. But let's say you had grapes and then you had another again grapes and again, because that doesn't work. What if you learn this from ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื? If you eat in the morning the ืชืื ื, and noon the ืชืื ื, and night So the Gemara had thought of ืชืื ื, but then the But ืชืื ื is the same. But then the Gemara continues I'm just going to the end already, because the Gemara goes a whole process here that ืชืื ื doesn't work because when this was The Gemara comes the end is is takeh one thing, ืืกืคืกืชื. The Gemara at the end is takeh the Gemara's final is when you get even one as long as it's separate seeds. Separated by time. Yes, that's It's not to get into the whole ืืืฉื I'm going to bring. That's true. Comes the Chasam Sofer, and Chasam Sofer asks a kashya: from the Gemara it's mashma the way Rashi learns that the whole kashya of the Gemara is only according to Rabbi Meir. According to Rabbi Meir who says even three ื ืืืืืช in one day you're ืืืื ื ืืง ืฉืื, so here also. But according to Rabbi Yehuda, it wouldn't be a kashya. The Chasam Sofer says, according to what the Magen Avraham writes in Shulchan Aruch ืงืืดืฃ, ืกืืื ืงืืดื in Orach Chaim, it should be also according to Rabbi Yehuda it should be a kashya also, because by the case of the ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, ืจืื ืืืืื would agree. What's the case? What's the story there? So
let's go through that whole case there. It all starts off with the Tur. The Tur quotes a Yerushalmi. The Tur in ืงืืดื quotes a Yerushalmi where it says like this. It's has nothing to do with this, but we'll get back to this. It says in the Yerushalmi that if a person has to when it comes to Shemini Atzeret and you have to change to ืืฉืื ืืจืื ืืืืจืื ืืืฉื, from then on, what happens if you forgot, Yerushalmi says, whether you said So the Yerushalmi says that if it's within thirty days, you probably did not say it, say the right thing, because you're still used to the way it was old. If it's after thirty days, your tongue got used to the new way, so mistama you said it. So comes comes the the Tur continues that the Maharam of Rothenburg, what he used to do is on Shemini Atzeret he would say ninety times that piece of Shemoneh Esrei. So it's a Why What happens thirty Why do you get used in thirty days? Because you say three times a day, so three thirty days is ninety is ninety. Alter Rebbe says not to do it. Alter Rebbe says not to Okay, one second. Yeah. So he's One second. So he says So the the is that's And that what happened. The mefarshim ask ve'od it's more in in thirty days you have more than ninety times, because you have Shabbos, Mussaf and Rosh Chodesh, whatever, that's But he said ninety. It's ืฆืณ ืคืขืืื. But if he had But he obviously didn't hold like that. He held theikar is a ninety. So he said ninety times, and he says with that And he said that even though in Yerushalmi it just mentions if you do it with you get used to by thirty days, so he says, if by doing it spread out it works, if you do it all together, it works even stronger. A re'ayah from this din of Rabbi Meir, that Rabbi Meir says that ืื ืจืืืง ื ืืืืืชืื ืืืื, ืงืืจื ื ืืืืืชืื ืื ืื ืฉืื. It means that ืงืืจืื is better than ืจืืืืง. If it's further, that's what he says. If further works, makes a kal vachomer, so certainly closer. He says the same thing here, that's what Maharam of Rothenburg said, that if it's same thing here, if it was if the din is that if you say it ninety times spread out it works, certainly it works ninety times. Then the Tur continues, ืืื Rabbeinu Peretz, that Peretz writes, I didn't see ืจืื ื ืงืฉืืฉื ืืฆืจืคืช, I didn't see the great ืืืืื ืืฉืจืื in in France say that, and he says, I I don't think it's it's you could learn out from there. He says, adraba, he says, I think that when it comes to this, even Rabbi Meir will agree that further is better. Why? Because here it's how you get used to, and your tongue, it gets used to more if it's spread out, not if it's together. Okay. Come the mefarshim, the Shlah, the Drisha, the Taz, the Magen Avraham, they all ask a kashya on the Maharam of Rothenburg, don't understand, how could he bring a re'ayah from Rabbi Meir when Rabbi Yehudah argues? And the halachah is like Rabbi Yehudah. The whole re'ayah is because Rabbi Meir said that if it works if it's spread out, certainly one day after another works, from that he has a re'ayah. Comes Rabbi Yehudah, he says, it's not true. Rabbi Yehudah argues, he says it doesn't work. It's stronger if it's spread out than if it's straight, and the halachah, the Gemara paskens like Rabbi Yehudah. So, how did Maharam of Rothenburg bring a re'ayah from here to his ืื ืืื? So, the Drisha has the shaila, they all has a shaila. The Taz takeh says, because of that, I don't think Maharam miRothenburg is right, because he only followed the R' Meir, which is not halacha. But the Magen Avraham the Magen Avraham says that the Maharam miRothenburg learns that it's only in the case of of ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื where there is a machloket between R' Meir and R' Yehuda, but in the case of other cases, R' Yehuda would agree to R' Meir, to say that R' Yehuda ืืืืช holds that close, bechlal, everything, close is better than far. By ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, it's different because you have a pasuk, you have to learn off a pasuk, but that's what they learn. I'm not going We'll get to it in a second. So the So the Chatam Sofer says, according to the Magen Avraham, why did the Gemara ask a kashya here only according to R' Meir? The Gemara, according to R' Meir over there, he says that if it's closer is better, I have a how come by the chazakah closer is not good, it's mashma, according to R' Yehuda, we understand, it's not a kashya, but in this case R' Yehuda would agree. In this case, because it's he only argues, according to the Maharam miRothenburg, the way the Magen Avraham explains, he only argues by the ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, but he doesn't argue by everything else. By ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื is special. So the Gemara could ask the kashya is according to R' Yehuda also. So, he asked and he doesn't answer. He says, tzarich iyun, and he doesn't answer the kashya. So, in order to doesn't answer it. Chatam Sofer doesn't answer, tzarich iyun. But when he says tzarich iyun, he's got to think about it. So, so, I was me'ayen, and you could come out come out with a with a biur to answer, to first understand, bechlal, what is the machloket between the Maharam of Rothenburg and the Rabbeinu Peretz? They obviously argue peshat in machlokes Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda. Because you see what comes out here is a very strange thing. According to Maharam of Rothenburg, they only argue ืื ืืืข ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื. Everything other other place, even Rav Yehuda agrees to Rav Meir. You know what Rabbeinu Peretz does? The opposite. He says, he I he says, \"I disagree with Maharam of Rothenburg, and I hold that by other cases, even Rav Meir is modeh.\" That's what he it's it's opposite sevarot. So, they obviously learned different the peshat in the Maharam in in the machlokes Rav Meir veRabbi Yehuda. So, lichorah the machlokes Rav Meir veRabbi Yehuda is like this: at first glance, machlokes is pashut in logic. What is where is it stronger? Is it stronger when they're close or is it stronger far? So, Rav Meir holds that it's stronger when it's close, so if far works to make a ืืืขื, stronger close al achat kamah vekamah. And Rabbi Yehuda learns the opposite. But you can say the peshat is not just a machlokes which one, it's a ืืืืืงืช ืืืฆืืืืช which one is stronger. The machlokes is a little different, you can say, what what the peshat is here is: we find in a lot of things, especially the Rebbe goes into this a lot, when there are certain things that happen, you could call it a sibah, a ta'am, or a siman. Is this a cause, or is this just a sign? And I'll I'll give you an example in a second, but in our case, when we say when a ืฉืืจ does the ื ืืืืืช three times, he becomes a ืืืขื, what is the peshat? You can learn two ways. You can learn one way: that's a re'iyah, it's a siman that his nature is to be a ื ืื. So, when he does it once, could have happened. It's not a re'iyah, it's no re'iyah, it's his nature. Does it twice, ken oich zayn it happened. But if he does it three times, that's a re'iyah that's his nature. Or you can learn not like that. He's supposed to watch him, yeah. No, so what's the re'iyah?
He's not going to watch him again? No, a person is different. No, here we're passing by the nature of of what what his nature is. A nature not to watch? He's a shlemazel? No, I'm saying, but in this case, in the case of the ืฉืืจ ื ืื, you can learn this one way, that this is a siman that he is a ื ืื, that he's a You can learn another way: it's not a siman, it makes him a ื ืื. If he does something three times, it becomes his nature, ืืจืื ื ืขืฉื ืืืข. He did it once, and he did it a second and a third time, which means the difference is, is this a siman or is this a taam? A sibah, a cause. And we find that in different places. The most famous place where the Rogatchover speaks about it and the Rebbe brings it in a few places is the simanim of a ืืืื ืืืืจื. The siman of a ืืืื ืืืืจื is ืืขืื ืืจื, ืืคืจืืก ืคืจืกื. So, the Rogatchover clarifies, is the peshat that this is the reason why it's tahor? Or why it's tahor, the ืืืืืขืจืฉืืขืจ wanted it to be tahor, a siman which ืืืื is tahor is given? And the Rebbe goes into whole nafka mina what the nafka mina how you look at it. I'll give another example. The Rebbe brings a re'ayah to one side, but it's a chakirah on both sides, is it That's what I'm trying I'm trying to bring examples to bring this out. That's a re'ayah it's his nature, or maybe or maybe now he got used to it. I don't know by a person this That's Oh, second. Obviously that has has to do with this. Not that, yeah, yeah. The she'eilah is each for a separate reason. Let let me just finish. No, but that's we talk about the future, what's going to happen. Not about this. We're talking this this this ืืืขื for the future, that now he's going to be chayav. Now, I'll give another example just to show where the the Rebbe goes into this with a siman and a taam. We know that
Yom Tov you're not allowed to do any melachah, but ืืืืืช ืืืื ื ืคืฉ is mutar. So, the Rebbe has a chakirah: is the peshat that it's a taam because the Torah wants you to have fresh food on on Yom Tov, so the Torah allowed it in order for you to be able to eat? Or it's a ืกืืื, there are certain ืืืืืืช which the Torah did not ืืืกืจ on on Yom Tov, the ืกืืื to know which one that is, those ืืืืืืช that you do usually with with food? A nafka mina would be if someone is allowed to do these ืืืืืืช not for food. And it seems in one way the Rebbe says this is a ืืืืืงืช ืืืช ืฉืืื ืืืืช ืืื. We know that the Gemara says Beit Hillel holds, ืืฉื ืฉืืืชืจื ืืืขืจื ืืฆืืจื ืืืื ื ืคืฉ ืืืชืจื ื ืื ืฉืื ืืฆืืจื. There are many ืืืืืืช that you're allowed to do to eat, and Beit Hillel says, you're allowed to do it even if it on Yom Tov you're allowed to do it even if it's not for eating. And Beit Shammai says, no, if you're doing it for eating you're allowed, not for eating, not. What's the ื ืงืืื of their ืืืืืงืช? Cause it's a madne zach? What does Beit Hillel mean? Because you're allowed to do it for food that sounds a little bit conservative, no? Meg shoin, you know, you're allowed to do it for, all right, meg shoin in gantzen, you know, that that's a narshkeit. So in Shulchan Aruch the Alter Rebbe uses the ืืฉืื ืงืืื ืืืืื. Seems like that Beit Hillel holds that they have a mesorah that the that that this is what it means and it doesn't mean that only for food. But what's the pshat? So the Rebbe said the ืืืืืงืช is when the Torah was ืืชืืจ these ืืืืืืช. Beit Shammai says when the Torah said ืืืื ื ืคืฉ is ืืืชืจ, ืื ืืฉืจ ืืืื ืืื ืืื ื ืคืฉ ืืื ื ืคืฉ, it's a taam. It's the reason, it's a cause. Because it's going to be for food, that's why you're allowed. Beit Hillel says it's a ืกืืื. The Torah wanted to give us a list of ืืืืืืช that you're allowed to do. The Torah didn't want to ืืกืจ all the ืืืืื, all ืืดื melachot. Several melachot the Torah didn't want to asor. So instead of the Torah giving you a list, gave you a siman. The siman is melachot for food, but it's not that this is the
cause. You find that in other places also, in other with if is something is only a siman or a taam. I'll use the exact another example we find other places ืื ืืืข, not from the sichot, but the thing is a Mahari"t. The Mahari"t has a chakirah also ืื ืืืข ืงื ืืื ืื, when you make a kinyan. How's a kinyan? You make a meshichah, hagbahah, you make a kinyan. So he says two sevarot. One sevara is what makes that this this object what I'm giving you becomes yours? The kinyan makes it yours. If you do that, Torah says becomes yours, whatever the kinyan is. Another way he says, no, the kinyan ืืืืช is made if I decide to give it to you, I'm gomer daat to give it to you, you are gomer daat to take it, that itself be'emet makes it yours. But how do you know what you're thinking? How do I know if you're really thinking that? So the kinyan is a siman for your gemirat daat. So one way is the kinyan is the taam for the, the sibah for for for a kinyan, for becoming yours. Another way, it's only a siman, a siman for something else and it becomes yours. So we have these things in many inyanim. So the same thing we can have by the chazakah: is the chazakah, the ื ืืืื in the by the ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, a sibah, which means that because you did it three times, memeila he got used to it, this will make it happen so memeila this makes him into a moed, or it's only a siman? Now, the difference will be like this: if it did it all in one day. Now, one day, it's mentioned in in sefarim, one day could be funkt today was a bad weather, funkt today was something happened. Woke up on the left side. Woke up on the wrong side, exactly! Yeah, the milk got, yeah, didn't feel good, the ka'as was it got spoiled, so the fact that it did three times is not a siman that it's a meshuga, that it that it has a teva of of this that happened. So if you learn it's a siman, then if it it has to happen three separate days. Oh, three separate days, can't what, funkt this all these three days was a something special? So normally each day is different, it's a good siman and it's a re'iyah. But if it happened in one day, doesn't work, because one day is is no siman. If we're saying that because it got used to it, what's the difference if it happened in one day, for whatever reason it got meshuga, but it got did it three times, you're murgal. Three times, you are murgal. This is
how the the Maharam of Rothenburg would learn the machloket between Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehudah. This is their machloket: Rabbi Meir holds even if you did it in one day, it's why? Because the ikar is the hergel, it's a ta'am. And and Rabbi Yehudah says the three times is a siman, and a siman cannot be in one day, you have to have three separate days. What's the result of this? The result of this is that according to this peshat, that the reason Rabbi Yehudah holds not like Rabbi Meir, because he holds that this has nothing to do with hergel, it has to do with siman, ืืคื ืื, what would Rabbi Yehudah hold in a case of hergel? Not in a case of siman! Like in the case of getting your lips used to saying the new thing? He would agree with Rabbi Meir! Cuz he says, the reason I'm arguing with you, I agree be'etzem, he says to Rabbi Meir, that hergel, if it's closer, it's a better hergel than than far. I just argue that by ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, that's not the peshat. The peshat is not hergel. But if you're going to try to use the sevara by make saying ืืฉืื ืืจืื ืืืืจืื ืืืฉื, which there is hergel, there Rabbi Yehudah would agree! So that's why when he brings a raya that if you do it closer it works even stronger, a raya from the din of the ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, and the kashya that they all ask is, \"But that's only Rabbi Meir!\", so he'll answer, in that specific case it's Rabbi Meir, but the logic of Rabbi Meir, even Rabbi Yehuda holds, everyone. That's why he brings a raya from there. That's how you could learn pshat in in the Maharam of Rothenburg.
Obviously, the Rabbeinu Peretz couldn't learn like this. Because if he learns like this, then how could he ask the kashya on the He says to the to the Maharam of Rothenburg, \"I disagree with you, because ืืจืื here it's different than over there.\" But if he learns like this, the sevara of Rabbi Meir is because of ืืจืื. So obviously he learns a different pshat in the machloket. He learns like this: It's definitely both of them agree that it's a ืกืืื. It's not because of you got used to it, both agree it's a ืกืืื. The machloket is, do we say that if you do it in one day and separate parts of the day, it's also a ืกืืื? In other words, that sevara that we said before ืืื ืคืฉืื that if you do it in one day it's no raya, Rabbi Meir said it's not like that. Even in one day it's a ืกืืื, because obviously even Rabbi Meir holds that you didn't do it all at the same time, because even Rabbi Meir agrees, what happens if you have three ืืืืืช standing together and one ox goes over and is ืื ืื all three at one time? Even Rabbi Meir will agree that it's not that's not a a ืืืขื. So he means he's saying that it's if you do it in the morning. So Rabbi Meir holds that even though it was in one day, I still feel that this is three different things, u'meimela it's a ืกืืื. And Rabbi Yehuda holds, \"No, in one day it's all one.\" But they both go with the sevara that this is a ืกืืื, nothing to do with ืืจืื. So u'meimela when it comes to ืืจืื, we have no raya which way, so maybe Rabbi Meir is ืืืื there also! That would be the sevara of the Rabbeinu Peretz. Rabbeinu Peretz says that in the case of ืืฉืื ืืจืื, which is ืชืืื in ืืจืื, he says, \"I'm telling you even Rabbi Meir would agree.\" Why? Because Rabbi Meir doesn't say anything about ืืจืื. Rabbi Meir says over here, this is a siman, and by a siman, in three times in one day is also a siman. And he says three times one is not a siman. But they both hold a siman, they weren't talking about ืืจืื. When it comes to ืืจืื zogt says Rabbeinu Peretz, it's not so. So we understand the machloket between So it comes out Is farentfert the Chatam Sofer farentfert? So how's that farentfert the Chatam Sofer? Because because it's not the same, because because Rabbi Yehuda is not modeh to him like every other occasion. The machloket is like what you just said, because But we're talking about ืืืงื ืืืณ ืฉื ืื. What's the ืืืจ in ืืืงื ืืืณ ืฉื ืื? What's the reason? Why chazakah, isn't the reason from from ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื? ืืืื the ืืืืืง, ืืืื the the Bavli. Bavli, but we said the chiluk we should learn it out for ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื. ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, right, right, right. So, we're talking here The Chatam Sofer didn't ask that, the Chatam Sofer asked why it's only a kashya on Rabbi Meir. Right, because according to the Maharam of Rothenburg, Rabbi Yehuda would agree. Okay. In one instance. Which instance? Depends in what the ta'am is, whether it's whether it's a koach or or Good, nu, so Rabbi Yehuda But the Maharam of Rothenburg says that in a case where it's not ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, Rabbi Yehuda agrees. Right, okay. So here when we're talking not ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, we're talking about ืืืงืช ืืณ ืฉื ืื, and the Gemara says since by ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื he holds, Rabbi Meir holds like that, so here should also. And Rabbi Yehuda, who doesn't hold like that by ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, should still agree here, because the Maharam of Rothenburg says in other places not! So here we
have to go to a whole arichus to show that this Gemara according to Rashi, and we'll stick with Rashi, according to Rashi, because according to Tosafos also, according to Rashi, the way the Gemara goes here, Rashi learns that this Gemara must go according to the Rabbeinu Peretz. And according to Rabbeinu Peretz, you have no kashya. I'll explain why. According to the whole kashya is according to the Maharam of Rothenburg that Rabbi Yehuda is ืืืื. But according to by by other cases. According to to the to Rashi to Rabbeinu Peretz, we don't have it, we don't see. I want to say that the Gemara goes according to the this Gemara according to Rashi will go according to Rabbeinu Peretz. Why? Because the Gemara asked a shaila here before, and this I'm going to go bekitzur, the Gemara asked a shaila: If you learn out ืืณ ืฉื ืื, ืืืงืช ืืณ ืฉื ืื from ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, why is the ืืื ืืืงื ืฉืืื ืขืื ืืขื ื ืืื ื ืืืงื? What's ืืืงื ืฉืืื ืขืื ืืขื ื? So
Rashi says this: The Mishnah says like this, that if someone comes to somebody, \"What are you doing in my field?\" The regular case is, \"What am I doing in your field? I bought it from you.\" \"Where's your shtar?\" \"I don't have a shtar.\" \"Oh, it's three years? Okay, he keeps it.\" What happens if a guy comes to and he says to him, \"What are you doing in my field?\" and he answers him, \"I don't know, I saw an empty field, ืื ืืืจ ืื ืืื ืืืจ ืืขืืื, I I moved in!\" So the Gemara says that's not a chazaka. Fregt the Gemara here, if you learn out ืืืงืช ืืณ ืฉื ืื from ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, just like a ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื from three ื ืืืืืช he goes from ืชื to ืืืขื, so chazakah also by three years, so you go from the ืืืืจ goes over to the ืืืงื, so why is a ืืืงื ืฉืืื ืขืื ืืขื ื not a chazakah? And the Gemara answers like this. The Gemara answers, how could it be a chazakah? ืืขืื ืืื? ืืืจืื ื ืืืื ืืื ืงืืืจ. Why does a chazakah work? Because the chazakah shows that what he ืืขื ืณื is right. But if he's not ืืขื ืณืื ื, ืืฉืชื ืืืื ืื ืืขืื ืื ื ื ืืขืื ืืื? If he's not ืืขื ืณืื ื, how could we ืืขื ื? Comes
Tosafot, and Tosafot asks a ืฉืืื: what's the Gemara's hava amina? How could there be a hava amina that without ืืขื ืณืื ื it's mine, it should stay his? The guy comes and says it's mine, and the guy proves it's his, and he's sitting there for three years and he's not answering that it's his, so the Gemara had a hava amina it should be his? Tosafot, I'll read the Tosafot: ืืื ืกืืงื ืืขืชืื ืืืงืฉื ืืืืื ืืฆื ืืืืงืื ืืืืื ืืืื ืืื ืืขืื ืืืื? How could you give it to him? So what's the peshat in Rashi? So I'll tell you how Rashi learns the peshat, that's one ืฉืืื. There's another ืฉืืื: what's the Gemara's answer? What? What is the difference in the hava amina of the Gemara and the ืืกืงื ื? First, the Gemara thought that a ืืืงื ืฉืืื ืขืื ืืขื ื should be, and the ืืกืงื ื is not. The Gemara didn't know in the hava amina what the maskana, and that that the whole idea is, like Tosafot asks, what's the pshat here? So the pshat could be like this: the hava amina of the Gemara, the way Rashi, the way we learn, is that a ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, the reason he becomes a ืืืขื in three times is that itself makes it into a ืืืขื. ืืคื ืื, if we're comparing ืืณ ืฉื ืื to ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, by ืืณ ืฉื ืื should also be the three years is the cause! That's the Gemara's hava amina. ืืืงื ืฉืืื ืขืื ืืขื ื, ืืขืืดื you're not ืืขื ืณืื ื, but the mere fact that you're there for three years is a reason for you to be to own it, because we're comparing it to ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื. What's the Gemara's answer? The Gemara's answer is that you made a mistake in ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื. The reason is not it's not a siba, cause, it's a siman only there. If it's a siman, what's a siman? A siman that that's how it's be'etzem. Memayla, here also, the three years is only a siman that it's yours, that when you had it, a siman that you bought it. But if you made it that you didn't buy it, farshtayt zich you don't get it. So the chiluk between the hava amina and the maskana is, the hava amina is that ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื is a siba, memayla here also it's a siba, so the Gemara thought afilu without a ta'anah it's a siba, this itself makes it yours. And the maskana is that it's a siman. Now, according to the Rabbenu Peretz, what did we say is the pshat? A tzad that a tzad of Rabbi Meir, a tzad of Rabbi Yehuda hold that by ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, it's a siman, not a siba. ืืฉืืดื, if you learn like the Maharam of Rothenburg, what what's that what's Rabbi Meir's ืฉืืื? Rabbi Meir's ืฉืืื is that it's a siba. What did we say? Why did Rabbi Meir say in one day it also works? Because it's a siba. If it's a siba, so in this case, the ืืกืงื ื of the Gemara is that it's a siman. So this Gemara cannot go according to the Maharam of Rothenburg. According to the Maharam of Rothenburg, when the Gemara says, \"ืืืจืื ืืืืจ\", the Gemara asks, \"ืืืจืื ืืืืจ it should be if it's one day, so it should be also three ืืืืืืช?\" So this Gemara, and we said Maharam of Rothenburg learns that he holds that Rabbi Meir holds that it's a siba, but this Gemara came to a ืืกืงื ื that it's not a siba. This only fits according to Rabbeinu Peretz. Rabbeinu Peretz who says that they both hold that it's a siman, a tzad of Meir fits with the ืืกืงื ื of the Gemara. The hava amina of the Gemara was a siba, so mimela the three years should become just like that, because he's there. The ืืกืงื ื of the Gemara is that ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื is a ืกืืื, so according to the Rabbeinu Peretz, it fits, because they hold it's a ืกืืื. According to Maharam of Rothenburg, it doesn't fit. The kashya of the Chatam Sofer was that according to the Maharam of Rothenburg, why doesn't the Gemara ask according to Rabbi Yehuda? But the way Rashi learns, this doesn't go according to Maharam of Rothenburg. M'meila, that's why the Gemara couldn't say according to Rabbi Yehuda. But, whatever, we get the two The main thing But if it's if one is a ืกืืื, one is a ืกืืื, how can we learn out ืืืงืช ืืืชืื? Farkert! We're getting to say they're both the same. If by ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื it's a ืกืืื, so by ืืืงืช ืืืชืื it's a ืกืืื. So the hava amina was that ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื is a ืกืืื, ืืืืื ืืืงืช ืืืชืื is also a ืกืืื. And if it's a ืกืืื, you don't need a ืืขื ื. This itself makes it yours. That's called a ืกืืื, it makes it yours. The maskana of the Gemara A squatter. Yeah, that's this is this halachot comes from this, yeah. You have a grandfather, and you have a squatter. Squatter, so so then the squatter Being the grandfather. So that that's a ืกืืื that it's a ืกืืื. So you bought it and you show it. Aha, okay. And the squatter Squatter is is is just How is it his if it becomes his? A ืกืืื, just by being there. Oh. So, but
it's ืชืืื in what is the ืืื here, is it a ืกืืื or a ืกืืื by ืืืงืช ื' ืฉื ืื? It depends on what's by, since you learn it out from ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, it depends. So if by ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื it's a ืกืืื, so by ืืืงืช ื' ืฉื ืื it's a ืกืืื. If it's a ืกืืื, you don't have to ืืขื ื, \"I bought it.\" A ืกืืื means that three years, just like over there that three ื ืืืืืช make you a ืืืขื, the three years make you an owner. That was the Gemara's ืงืืฉืื. The ืืกืงื ื of the Gemara? The ืืกืงื ื is that ืืืงื ืฉืืื ืขืื ืืขื ื is not good. Why not? Three years make it yours. Ah, because it's even by ืฉืืจ ืืืืขื, it's a siman. It's a siman, not it doesn't make you anything. If it this shows that before and the whole time he's a he's a ืฉืืจ ื ืื. So how will apply it to the ื' ืฉื ืื? The three years shows that you bought it. But if you ืืขื ื that you didn't buy it, no. Dos farshteyt zich, not? Yeah. So if you learn this way pshat, so the ืืกืงื ื of the Gemara hold that it's a siman, it can't be like the Maharam of Rothenburg. And the whole ืงืืฉืื of the Chatam Sofer is according to the Maharam of Rothenburg, then why didn't the Gemara ask according to Rabbi Yehuda? But the way we're saying now, according to Rashi, Tosafot will be different, and there's a lot more here, but this is just a ื ืงืืื'ืืืืข ืขื ืื. What's a practical difference by the If we know that it's by a siman, that the three times you know that it's a siman, so by the first time it was already a ืืืขื. Right. So therefore But we didn't know that. Well, okay, so you find out later. It would be retroactive to No, but the pay no, the ืืืื was there already, and the ืืืื doesn't change. You don't do anything to help the other guy that the the punishment, the payoff or payment to the other, no, doesn't change anything at all. Just to find out later. You would think that there would be a practical is if we we hold that somebody would hold that No, but to pay all the ืืืื was already, you can't change the ืืืื. When he did the first time, the ืืืื was ืืฆื ื ืืง, he pay ืืฆื ื ืืง. Just pay ืืฆื ื ืืง. You think ืืืคืจืข if he did it three times, so we go back to the first guy and we give him, I don't know, whatever you killed him. I don't know, whatever whatever would be the No, we're talking about he damaged something, and he pays half ื ืืง. So, we should have to pay now the second half, cuz now we found out that he was a Yeah. Yeah, but that's not the ืืื. The Torah says, until you're not ืืืื that's a ืืืขื, you don't Nobody would think that? No, no, nobody. It would be another example. Yeah, but it's not true. You find an example, it's not true. No. Yashar koach. It was complicated. Yeah, so I'll tell you why it's complicated. I can see why, cuz you have a lot of people that are involved. Because there's so much more here to say, in order to make it clear. But that's taking another half hour. No, it was It did. No, it's quite Just go listen to the podcast, it is complicated. In the end, this is You listen a few times because there's a lot of a lot of details missing Yeah, yeah, ืกืืื and ืืขื That is something else. That's, no Because you say that's basically the same thing. That's all the same, where ืกืืื and ืืขื Yeah, yeah, ืกืืื and ืืขื is the same, you're right. Okay. I would say like this, ืกืืื and ืจืืื is one thing and ืกืืื and ืืขื is Right, ืกืืื and ืจืืื. Okay, ืกืืื and ืืขื. We're good. And ืืจืื means? ืืจืื means trained, being used to it. Oh, okay, used to it, yeah. Yashar koach. Fantastic. That's one for the ages. All right, Tuesday.
