All Rights Reserved. Yevamos Elementary II The Mishnah You will find it helpful to review the section entitled “The Mishnah” in the Elementary Gemara I study guide. I. Content of the Mishnah The Mishnah is comprised of six sections which are known collectively as Shas, an :”meaning “six orders ,(ששה סדרים) abbreviation of shishah sedarim Each of these sedarim contains numerous Mishnayos (plural of “Mishnah”) sorted into distinct units known as masechtos (plural of masechta). The six sedarim are: 1. Zeraim (Seeds). This seder deals with the halachos pertaining to agriculture. 2. Moed (Festivals). This seder deals with the halachos of Shabbos, the Yamim Tovim, and taanaisim (fasts). 3. Nashim (Women). This seder deals with halachos dealing with marriage and divorce, and the resulting obligations. 4. Nezikin (Damages). This seder deals with the halachos of civil and criminal law, corporal and capital punishment, the composition of batei din (Rabbinical courts), and judicial procedure. 5. Kodshim (Holy Things). This seder contains halachos pertaining to the Beis Hamikdash and korbanos (sacrificial offerings). 6. Taharos (Purity). This seder deals with the halachos of tumah and taharah of all kinds of keilim (objects). II. Well-known Tannaim The term Tanna (plural: Tannaim) means “one who studies.” It is used to identify the rabbanim of the period of the Mishnah. You should be familiar with the names of all the Tannaim that appear in the Mishnah and Beraisos in the set text. However, within the set text of this Gemara, only one Tanna is named: (ר”ש) 2b] R’ Shimon] [4a] R’ Elazar ben Azariah, Ben Azzai, R’ Yehudah [6b] R’ Yosi, R’ Nosson GemaraYevamosElemIISP-1 v01.indd Page 4 of 16 © 2019 by Torah Accreditation Liaison. All Rights Reserved. Yevamos Elementary II The Gemara I. Dynamics of the Talmud Each Mishnah in Shas was discussed and analyzed by the rabbanim in the period of the Gemara, who are known as Amoraim. Although the Amoraim of the Gemara were the outstanding Talmudic scholars of their generations, it is generally assumed that an Amora may not disagree with the opinion of a Tanna of the Mishnah, unless there is another Tanna’s opinion which concurs with his view. Rishonim (see below, section III) cannot disagree with an Amora. II. Well-Known Amoraim The term Amora (plural: Amoraim) means “one who speaks or interprets.” It is used to identify the rabbanim in the period of the Gemara, both in Bavel and Eretz Yisrael. You should be familiar with all the names of the Amoraim cited in the set text of the Gemara, as follows: [3a] Rava, R’ Yitzchak bar Avdimi [3b] Rav, R’ Assi [4a] R’ Sheishes, R’ Yosef, R’ Gidel III. Layout of the Daf Each page of the Talmud features the Gemara in the center of the page with the peirush of Rashi and Tosafos on either side. There are several other features on the daf, including the following: This generally contains cross-references to other .(מסורס הש”ס) Mesoras HaShas • masechtos where the particular Gemara or certain parallel words or concepts appear.

Recent editions of the Gemara, such as Oz Vehadar and Vilna Shas, have replaced this feature with an updated version, sometimes renamed Torah Ohr In place of the notation of a small circle, a number .(תורה אור השלם) Hashalem or Hebrew letter appears, referring the reader to the inner margin of the page (or sometimes the outer margin, when the inner margin is full) where the pasuk containing the Gemara’s quotation is cited in full, followed by the name of the sefer in Tanach and the perek and pasuk numbers.

On most years many of us would be spending tonight together, learning Torah in the shul. Unfortu- nately we cannot be physically together again yet, but in the spirit of Har Sinai, where the Jewish people were k’ish echad b’lev echad, we wanted to try and recreate that experience as much as possible. Hence, the learn-along was born, a way for us all to learn together, even while apart. In this packet please find six shiurim, prepared by community members, each in their own particular style and manner, just as they would have given them in shul if they were able. Just print them out before Yom Tov and learn-along at your own pace. Feel free to only “attend” the ones you like, and to sneak out in the middle for some cheesecake and cof- fee.

  • Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach Today (?)
    Daf Ditty Pesachim 78: Korban Pesach today (?) Three girls in Israel were detained by the Israeli Police (2018). The girls are activists of the “Return to the Mount” (Chozrim Lahar) movement. Why were they detained? They had posted Arabic signs in the Muslim Quarter calling upon Muslims to leave the Temple Mount area until Friday night, in order to allow Jews to bring the Korban Pesach. This is the fourth time that activists of the movement will come to the Old City on Erev Pesach with goats that they plan to bring as the Korban Pesach. There is also an organization called the Temple Institute that actively is trying to bring back the Korban Pesach. It is, of course, very controversial and the issues lie at the heart of one of the most fascinating halachic debates in the past two centuries. 1 The previous mishnah was concerned with the offering of the paschal lamb when the people who were to slaughter it and/or eat it were in a state of ritual impurity. Our present mishnah is concerned with a paschal lamb which itself becomes ritually impure. Such a lamb may not be eaten. (However, we learned incidentally in our study of 5:3 that the blood that gushed from the lamb's throat at the moment of slaughter was collected in a bowl by an attendant priest and passed down the line so that it could be sprinkled on the altar). Our mishnah states that if the carcass became ritually defiled, even if the internal organs that were to be burned on the altar were intact and usable the animal was an invalid sacrifice, it could not be served at the Seder and the blood should not be sprinkled.

  • Perek X Daf 117 Amud A
    Th e Gemara asks: Does this prove by inference that Rav Aĥa bar ִמ ְּכ ָלל ְ ּדַרב ַא ָחא ַּבר ַי ֲﬠקֹב ָס ַבר ַמ ָּצה Ya’akov maintains that eating matza nowadays applies by Torah ִּבְז ַמן ַהֶזּה ְ ּד ַאוֹרְי ָיתא? ְו ָהא ַרב ַא ָחא law? But isn’t Rav Aĥa bar Ya’akov the one who said that eating ַּבר ַי ֲﬠקֹב ּהוא ְ ּד ָא ַמר: ַמ ָּצה ַּבְזּ ַמן ַהֶזּה matza nowadays applies by rabbinic law?

Th e Gemara answers: Rav Aĥa bar Ya’akov maintains that everything the Sages instituted through ְ ּד ַאוֹרְי ָיתא ִּת ּיק ּון. their decrees, they instituted similar to the model established by Torah law. In other words, although the obligations to eat matza and recite the Haggadah are rabbinic, the stringencies and restric- tions that apply to Torah mitzvot apply here as well. Th erefore, a blind person is exempt from reciting the Haggadah. Th e Gemara asks: According to the opinion of Rav Sheshet and ְלַרב ׁ ֵש ׁ ֶשת ּו ְלַרב ֵיוֹסף ַנ ִמי, ָהא ַוַ ּדאי Rav Yosef too, certainly everything the Sages instituted through ּכֹל ְד ַת ּק ּון ַר ָּב ַנן ְּכ ֵﬠין ְ ּד ַאוֹר ְי ָיתא their decrees, they instituted similar to the model established by ִּת ּיק ּון! Torah law. Why, then, did these blind Sages recite the Haggadah themselves? Th e Gemara rejects this diffi culty: How can these cases, the verses ָה ִכי ָה ׁ ְש ָּתא! ִּב ׁ ְש ָל ָמא ָה ָתם, ִמַ ּד ֲהָוה -dealing with rebellious son and the Passover Haggadah, be com ֵל ּיה ְל ִמ ְיכ ַּתב ְּ״ב ֵנ ּנו ּהוא״ ּו ְכ ִתיב pared?

  • Universal Quotes from the Talmud
    Universal quotes from the Talmud Berakoth 17a Abaye was wont to say: One must always be shrewd and utilize every strategy in order to achieve fear of Heaven and performance of commandments. One must fulfill the verse: “A soft answer turns away wrath” (Proverbs 15:1) and take steps to increase peace with one’s brethren and with one’s relatives, and with all people, even with a non- jew in the marketplace, despite the fact that he is of no importance to him and does not know him at all (Me’iri), so that he will be loved above in God’s eyes, pleasant below in the eyes of the people, and acceptable to all of God’s creatures. מרגלא בפומיה דאביי לעולם יהא אדם ערום ביראה מענה רך משיב חמה ומרבה שלום עם אחיו ועם קרוביו ועם כל אדם ואפילו עם גוי בשוק כדי שיהא אהוב למעלה ונחמד למטה ויהא מקובל על הבריות Tangentially, the Gemara mentions that they said about Rabban Yoḥanan ben Zakkai that no one ever preceded him in issuing a greeting, not even a non-jew in the marketplace, as Rabban Yoḥanan would always greet him first. אמרו עליו על רבן יוחנן בן זכאי שלא הקדימו אדם שלום מעולם ואפילו גוי בשוק Shabbat 88b With regard to the revelation at Sinai, Rabbi Yoḥanan said: What is the meaning of that which is written: “The Lord gives the word; the women that proclaim the tidings are a great host” (Psalms 68:12)? It means that each and every utterance that emerged from the mouth of the Almighty divided into seventy languages, a great host.
