The Martial says something beautiful on
this Gamara. He says that we know that
there are Shiva Samina
Nish Top Erits Yisrael. Right, there are
seven species, seven minam of perois
that when the Torah praises the beauty
of Erits Yisrael, it focuses on those
seven perois. What are the Shiva Samina?
Chita, Soira, Gafen, Taina, Rimon.
One of the seven is the Zayis. But the
Torah doesn't mention the Zayis. The
Torah says Shemen Zayis. So says the
Martial, I don't understand.
By the Chita we mention the Chita. By
the Soira we mention the Soira. By the
Gafen we mention the Gafen. The Rimon we
mention the Rimon. We don't say
pomegranate juice, we mention the actual
Rimon. How come when it comes to the
Zayis we don't mention the Zayis? We
talk about the Shemen Zayis. The pri is
the Zayis. The Shemen is the toitsa that
comes out of the pri. We're talking
about the perois in Erits Yisrael.
So just mention the Zayis. Now you'll
tell me the Zayis is chosheve because of
the Shemen. It's either that's the
toivada, that's the peri. Really what
the Torah should have said was Zayis.
Why we talk about the Shemen Zayis? Says
the Martial, see this brisa it's half of
a fellow. Because herogal be Zayis is
something that's meshakeach salimud. But
if somebody is rogal be
be Shemen Zayis then it's meshaveach
salimud. In fact Rabi Yochanan said
Shemen Zayis meshakeach limud shel
shivim shana, kach Shemen Zayis
meshaveach limud shel shivim shana. If a
Zayis is something that's meshakeach
salimud, it can't be that that's a
double shvach. We can't be meshaveach
Zayis. Because even though it's a
chosheve thing, yeah, from a secular
perspective, but it's a davar
hamishakeach salimud. That's why when it
came to the perois in Erits Yisrael
said the Martial, we mention the Shemen
Zayis. Because it's davka there that the
shvach is. It's something that's
chosheve and it's also something that's
meshaveach salimud. But the Zayis being
that it's a davar hamishakeach salimud,
that can't be the chefso that is
something praiseworthy about. And it's
for that reason the Torah went out of
its way here to mention the Shem inside
as opposed to the Zios of the
