Daf Ditty Eruvin 11 Daf Ditty Eruvin 11 “Rav Naḥman says: Impudence is effective even toward Heaven.” Sanhedrin 105b 1 The Gemara now examines the matter itself with regard to Rav Ḥisda’s statement cited above. Rav Ḥisda said: If one prepared an opening in the form of a doorway from the side, placing the horizontal cross beam to the sides, rather than on top, of the vertical posts, he has not done anything. And Rav Ḥisda also said: The opening in the form of a doorway of which the Sages spoke must be strong enough to mount a door in it, and even if it is merely a flimsy door of straw. Reish Lakish said in the name of Rabbi Yannai: The opening in the form of a doorway requires a mark in the doorpost for hinges. The Gemara asks: What is a mark for hinges? 2 Rav Avya said: Loops [avkata] into which the hinge is inserted, so that it will be possible to mount a door in the doorway. The Gemara relates that Rav Aḥa, the son of Rav Avya, once found the students of Rav Ashi and said to them: Did the Master, Rav Ashi, say anything with regard to an opening in the form of a doorway? They said to him: He said nothing, implying that an indication for hinges is unnecessary. A Sage taught a baraita: The form of a doorway of which they spoke consists of a reed from here, on one side, and a reed from there, on the opposite side, and a reed on top of them. The Gemara asks: Need the lower reeds reach high enough to touch the upper reed, or do they not need to touch it? Rav Naḥman said: They do not need to touch it; and Rav Sheshet said: They need to touch it. The Gemara relates that Rav Naḥman went ahead and performed an action in the house of the Exilarch in accordance with his own opinion. He constructed an opening in the form of a doorway such that the upper reed was not in contact with the lower reeds. Rav Sheshet said to his attendant, Rav Gadda: Go, remove those reeds and throw them away. The attendant went, removed the reeds, and threw them away. Members of the Exilarch’s court found him and imprisoned him for destroying the form of a doorway that permitted them to carry. Rav Sheshet went and stood at the door of the prison, and called out to him: Gadda, go out and come to me. The Exilarch’s men released him, and he went out and came to Rav Sheshet. 3 The Gemara relates that Rav Sheshet once found Rabba bar Shmuel and said to him: Did the Master teach anything with regard to the halakhot of the form of a doorway? He said to him: Yes, we learned in a baraita: With regard to an arched gateway, Rabbi Meir deems the owner obligated to affix a mezuza, and the Rabbis deem him exempt. However, they both agree that if its supports, the vertical sides of the gate before it arches, are ten handbreadths high, that the gate requires a mezuza. Constucting a valid tzuras hapesach R’ Chisda ruled that a tzuras hapesach with the crossbeams extending from the side of the poles rather than over the top is invalid. Additionally, the tzuras hapesach must be strong enough to 4 support a door of straw. Reish Lakish in the name of R’ Yanai ruled that a tzuras hapesach must have an indication of a hinge, i.e. a pivot hole. A Baraisa rules that a tzuras hapesach is constructed with a pole on each side of the opening and a third pole over the top of the other two. R’ Nachman rules that the crossbeam does not have to touch the side beams, as opposed to R’ Sheishes who rules that they must touch the side beams. R’ Sheishes had an encounter with Rabbah bar Shmuel who demonstrated from a halachah regarding a mezuzah on an archway that the crossbeam does not have to touch the sidebeams. Tzuras ha'Pesach is a stick on each side and a stick on top of them. (Rabbeinu Meir (brought in Rosh) – Rav Acha brings this Beraisa, which does not require the Korah to be a Tefach thick. It can be Mashehu (arbitrarily small). Surely, Heker Tzir is required, for no one argues with Reish Lakish. Ri'az - the Korah can be Mashehu, i.e. it need not be big enough for Heker Tzir.) Rav Nachman relied on his leniency to make a Tzuras ha'Pesach for the Reish Galusa (the executive head of Bnei Yisrael in Bavel). Rav Sheshes told his attendant, Rav Gada, to knock it down. He obeyed. (Perhaps Rav Sheshes was unable to do so himself, for he was blind). People of the Reish Galusa's house incarcerated him. Rav Sheshes came to the door and requested that Gada come out. They let him out. (Ya'avetz - they had assumed that he himself decided to knock it down. When they heard that Rav Sheshes told him to, they released him.) 5 As an aside, Abaye explains the dispute between R’ Meir and Rabanan regarding an archway that has legs three tefachim high with a total height of ten tefachim but it narrows to less than four tefachim wide and there is room in the adjacent wall to carve out a four tefach width for the entire height. According to R’ Meir we view the entrance as if it has been carved out and a mezuzah is required, whereas according to Rabanan we do not look at the entrance as if it was carved out and a mezuzah is not required. A tzuras hapesach that is on the side 1 Rav Chisda teaches that a tzuras hapesach that is on the side is invalid. In order to form the shape of a door way it is necessary reed (lintel) to rest on top of the two sideposts (l’chayayim) rather than stretch from one to the other on the side of the sideposts. This creates a challenge when constructing an eruv that utilizes telephone or electrical poles to create a tzuras hapesach. In theory, if one attaches a lechi on two telephone poles beneath one of the wires he has constructed a valid tzuras hapesach. 1 Daf Digest 6 The question is, however, is it necessary to use precise measuring instruments to assure that the wire is directly over each lechi or perhaps one may rely on one’s vision and as long as it appears that the wire is directly over each lechi the eruv is valid? Teshuvas Avnei Yashpei points out that there are many halachos that rely upon a person’s vision rather than precise measuring instruments. For example, Chochmas Adam writes that there is no need to examine vinegar under a microscope to determine whether there are microscopic sized bugs. Bugs that are visible to the naked eye are prohibited but not those that are not visible to the naked eye. Avnei Yashpei then asserts that one cannot prove from this halachah that for all matters of halachah that we only take into account what is visible to the eye to the exclusion of using precise measuring instruments. The reason is that it is possible that when it comes to prohibitions there is no reason to use measuring instruments since the Torah was not given to the angels who can be so precise. In contrast, when it comes to the construction of a tzuras hapesach it is possible to be precise and perhaps one is obligated to use those instruments in order to be precise. He then suggests a rationale to be lenient. A tzuras hapesach serves as wall and it must conform to the manner in which people construct walls. Accordingly, since people construct walls that appear to their eyes straight without confirming that they are straight with the use of instruments it is sufficient for it to appear that the wire is above the l’chayayim. Rav Mordechai Kornfeld writes:2 HOW TO MAKE A "TZURAS HA'PESACH" The Gemara lists several conditions that must be fulfilled in order to build a valid Tzuras ha'Pesach to permit one to carry in a Mavoy: 1. Rav Chisda rules that the board or cord that serves as the top of the Tzuras ha'Pesach must be resting on the top of the two side-posts. If it is resting on (or wrapped around) the sides of the posts, it is not a valid Tzuras ha'Pesach. 2. Rav Chisda also rules that the Tzuras ha'Pesach must be strong enough to support a door (even though it is not necessary to actually affix a door), but it suffices if the Tzuras ha'Pesach is strong enough to support a door made out of a light material, such as straw. 3. Reish Lakish in the name of Rebbi Yanai rules that a Tzuras ha'Pesach must have a recognizable place in which to insert a door-pivot (this refers to a small hole in the ground near one side-post of the Tzuras ha'Pesach). 4. Rav Nachman adds that there is a leniency in the laws of Tzuras ha'Pesach. The two side- posts do not need to reach the board on top (although they must be directly below it), and they 2 Daf Advancement Forum 7 even may be several Amos away from it. (They are considered to reach the top board due to the principle of Gud Asik.) Rav Sheshes argues and requires that the board actually rest on the side- posts.

  • Judeo-Arabic: Cultural Symbiosis of the Jews in the Islamicate Context
    INSANIYAT Journal of Islam and Humanities, Vol. 1(1), November 2016 Judeo-Arabic: Cultural Symbiosis of the Jews in the Islamicate Context Leonard C. Epafras Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies (ICRS), Gajah Mada University Yogyakarta, Indonesia email: [email protected] Abstract The present article studies the Jewish-Muslim intimacy through the Jewish language as a cultural space in the period of the medieval Islam. The Judeo-Arabic, as the technical terms of the Jewish language in this period and in the subsequent eras, was one of the many venues through which people negotiated the Jewish identity in the non-Jewish environments. This negotiation was the outcome of intensive meeting between the Arabs’ culture and the Jewish-specific heritages since pre-Islamic era to the period of the medieval Islam in dialectical and contested way. The Arabic language in the Hebrew script was an example of this process. In this article, the author traces back the earlier encounter between the Jews and the Arabs in the proto-Judeo-Arabic, al-yahūdīyyah, which includs the Muslim narrative of both the Prophet Muḥammad and the Jews. Next, this paper studies a later period of the Judeo-Arabic development as a Jewish specific language. The author argues that the Judeo-Arabic demonstrates a cultural symbiosis and a frontier of interaction between the Jews and the Muslims marked by the way Muslims and Jews accommodated and contested to each other. Keywords: Judeo-Arabic, Jewish-Muslim interaction, and ‘Islamicate’ context A. Introduction: Jews and Early Muslims spacefor them to engage with the dominant Close Encounter culture, but at the same time demarcating their cultural interest.

(b)What problem does he have with the Pasuk in Ki Seitzei "ve'Hitzdiku es ha'Tzadik, ve'Hirshi'u es ha'Rasha; ve'Hayah Im bin Hakos ha'Rasha"? (c)So how does he interpret it? (d)Why do we need a special Pasuk? Why should they not receive Malkos from the Pasuk (in the Aseres ha'Dibros) "Lo Sa'aneh ve'Re'acha Eid Shaker"? (e)Our Mishnah cited two cases where the witnesses receive Malkos (rather than the punishment that they tried to mete out to the defendant). The Tana Kama of the Beraisa cites two more cases. One of them is when they tried to make the defendant pay Kofer (by testifying that his Mu'ad ox [that already killed three animals] killed a person). What is the ... 1. ... fourth case? 2. ... fifth case added by Rebbi Akiva? 7) (a)What is the logic behind the ruling that the false witnesses do not pay Kofer? (b)In another Beraisa, the Tana Kama holds that Kofer entails paying the dead man's value. What does Rebbi Yishmael b'no shel Rebbi Yochanan ben Berokah say? (c)According to Rav Chisda which Tana holds that Kofer is a Kaparah (and is therefore the author of the first Beraisa)? What does the second Tana then hold? 8) (a)Rav Papa however, disagrees. According to him, both Tana'im hold that Kofer is a Kaparah' (in which case, either could be the author of our Beraisa).

  • On Telling the Truth and Avoiding Deception Rabbi Daniel S Alexander Rosh Hashanah Day II
    On Telling the Truth and Avoiding Deception Rabbi Daniel S Alexander Rosh Hashanah Day II During the recent series of commemorations following the death of Senator John McCain, I relished reviewing the scene from that town hall meeting in Lakeville, MN back in October of 2008. It was a period when racist conspiracies about then Senator Obama were being circulated in some social media outlets. In the now famous scene, a woman wearing a red, McCain-Palin tee shirt takes the microphone and begins, “I can’t trust Obama. I have read about him, and he’s not, um, um….” At this point, McCain begins to nod his head up and down in apparent enjoyment of the support. The woman continues, “… he’s an Arab.” Without a moment’s hesitation, McCain removes the microphone from his erstwhile supporter and interjects: “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man [and a] citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that’s what the campaign’s all about. He’s not [an Arab].” In that swift microphone removal and that unconsidered “No, ma’am …” McCain acted on what could only have been an instinct for integrity, a reflex to avoid deception and to speak truth. The rabbinic sages of our Jewish tradition have much to say about speaking truth and avoiding deception. Sometimes they teach in the language of law and sometimes in the language of story. Altogether, they present us with useful touchstones for a consideration of this timely topic, timely both as it pertains to the serious challenge posed ever more relentlessly in the contemporary political discourse to which we have been subjected in recent months and also because of the imperative on these Days of Awe to engage in a serious process of self judgment and self correction.

  • The Laws of Shabbat
    Shabbat: The Jewish Day of Rest, Rules & Cholent Meaningful Jewish Living January 9, 2020 Rabbi Elie Weinstock I) The beauty of Shabbat & its essential function 1. Ramban (Nachmanides) – Shemot 20:8 It is a mitzvah to constantly remember Shabbat each and every day so that we do not forget it nor mix it up with any other day. Through its remembrance we shall always be conscious of the act of Creation, at all times, and acknowledge that the world has a Creator . This is a central foundation in belief in God. 2. The Shabbat, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, NCSY, NY, 1974, p. 12 a – (אומן) It comes from the same root as uman .(אמונה) The Hebrew word for faith is emunah craftsman. Faith cannot be separated from action. But, by what act in particular do we demonstrate our belief in God as Creator? The one ritual act that does this is the observance of the Shabbat. II) Zachor v’shamor – Remember and Safeguard – Two sides of the same coin שמות כ:ח - זָכֹוראֶ ת יֹום הַשַבָתלְקַדְ ׁשֹו... Exodus 20:8 Remember the day of Shabbat to make it holy. Deuteronomy 5:12 דברים ה:יב - ׁשָמֹוראֶ ת יֹום הַשַבָתלְקַדְ ׁשֹו... Safeguard the day of Shabbat to make it holy. III) The Soul of the Day 1. Talmud Beitzah 16a Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said, “The Holy One, Blessed be He, gave man an additional soul on the eve of Shabbat, and at the end of Shabbat He takes it back.” 2 Rashi “An additional soul” – a greater ability for rest and joy, and the added capacity to eat and drink more.

  • Mishnah: the New Scripture Territories in the East
    176 FROM TEXT TO TRADITION in this period was virtually unfettered. The latter restriction seems to have been often compromised. Under the Severan dynasty (193-225 C.E.) Jewish fortunes improved with the granting of a variety of legal privileges culminating in full Roman citizenship for Jews. The enjoyment of these privileges and the peace which Jewry enjoyed in the Roman Empire were·· interrupted only by the invasions by the barbarians in the West 10 and the instability and economic decline they caused throughout the empire, and by the Parthian incursions against Roman Mishnah: The New Scripture territories in the East. The latter years of Roman rule, in the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba Revolt and on the verge of the Christianization of the empire, were extremely fertile ones for the development of . The period beginning with the destruction (or rather, with the Judaism. It was in this period that tannaitic Judaism came to its restoration in approximately 80 C.E.) saw a fundamental change final stages, and that the work of gathering its intellectual in Jewish study and learning.
