  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 121: Pesachim/Chagigah
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 121: Pesachim/Chagigah After midnight the paschal lamb transfers ritual impurity to the hands. [Sacrifices that are in a state of] 'pigul' or 'notar' [also] transfer ritual impurity to the hands. If one recites the benediction over the paschal lamb one need not recite one over the 'chagigah', but if one recited the benediction over the 'chagigah' one must still recite the benediction over the paschal lamb. This is the view of Rabbi Yishmael; Rabbi Akiva [however] says that neither [benediction] removes the necessity for the other. Rabbi Simchah Roth writes:1 We now come to the seifa of our mishnah, which is concerned with the blessings recited over the various kinds of meat served at the Seder meal. 6: When we studied 6:3 we learned that quite often a second offering was sacrificed at the same time as the paschal lamb. This second offering was called 'chagigah', a 'celebratory' offering. It seems that this additional offering was a kind of safety precaution 'just in case' there was not enough meat 1 http://www.bmv.org.il/shiurim/pesachim/pes10.html 1 from the paschal lamb itself to serve all the company that had subscribed to the lamb. The 'celebratory' chagigah was eaten at the Seder before the roast lamb so that the lamb would not be eaten greedily on an empty stomach, but gracefully, elegantly. 7: Our mishnah brings two views concerning the benedictions to be recited before eating these viands. According to Rabbi Yishmael, when the custom mentioned above was followed first of all some meat from the 'celebratory' was eaten preceded by a special benediction; when the paschal lamb was subsequently eaten it too was preceded by its special benediction.
