Last week we spoke we brought in the
mida one is to hear on rashash nine kyus
the rice you're supposed to hear nine
kilus
we know we do 30 and in the 30 kilus we
saw either we do 30 because we're unsure
the 30 kilus the nine kilus of the disa
what they are so we have to do 30 That's
the sambam. So we blow 30 mopic and then
we sort of high going that we blow 30 to
do all the different but technically
with nine get ready
in today's we're going to speak about
the length of a
and from there to see what the other kus
also and how long they have to be as
well.
The Mishna the Mishna that we learned
the Mishna says how long should a be
what's the length of a which means if
you blow it any shorter you're not says
the Mishna
I'm sorry how long should a be
the length of a of a
has to be the length of three troys the
garra actually explains that it's really
the length of one cher the garra says
that the mish is talking about the whole
set and the bryce is talking about one
for one but the tea and everybody that's
a garra the tea how long does a tea have
to be the length of a truer that's a
long and we're going to discuss now and
see how long does a truer have to be
says the mishna and how long what is a
truer
shea
a trua is made out
is what
just not to get confusing we'll call it
three
each short sound a peep a each small the
shortest coil that you could imagine
we'll call that a kayak that's all just
through the we'll discuss a truer so
rashi understands the Mishna
that a truer is made out of three,
three sounds. Tru is two. That's a trua.
Not like we're used to and what we do,
but is that a truer is three. That's a
truer. So again, the length of a is like
a truer which is made out of three we
just saw and that is a true is three.
So what comes out from shittita rashi is
first of all how long does a tea have to
be extremely short just the length of
three kas three peeps two two that's how
long the tea has to be doesn't have to
be a long what we do a couple of seconds
literally the length of three kas you
that's how long the kia has to be and
another thing comes out from
is that the true is three
that's what comes out clearly from
shitas rashi
what also comes out let's not forget
about thearim
how long is a chevver not how many
sounds is it made out of but how long
a truer which we saw now is three
is
three and a chevra we know also three.
But how long does the sound of a chevver
have to be?
If you're going to blow the length of a
chevver as long as three, which means
each piece of the chev is going to be
long three.
Let's say you blow a chevver the three
pieces, but each piece you're going to
blow two as long as three,
it's going to be already a tea.
And if you're going to blow it only one
kayak, it's going to be a truer.
Yeah, was with me. A truer is one. A is
made out of the length of three. So how
long? How long does a chevver have to
be? It's sandwiched in the middle. A
chevver's got to be the length of two
kas
because if it's going to be any shorter
it's a chua and if it's any longer it's
a so we have over here clearly rashi a
chua is made out of 222 a tea is has to
be as long as a 222 that length and a
chevver the length of each chev each
piece of a chevver has to be as long as
tutu.
That's shittas rashi.
Not all sounds
all sounds yet or each kia should be the
length of a truer. So if let's say a
truer is not is three sounds a truer.
Let's leave on the side what we actually
do because we do not do this rashi which
is brought in but let's go. We're going
to go a 222. So you're saying that all
sounds have to be the same. So how long
does a kia have to be? The same length
of a true and if a true is 222 then a
kia is only has to be as long as 222
which means two that's it.
So a chevver a chevver has to be
somewhere in between a and a tru because
if you're going to do it the length of
three to as long as three kas it's
already a and if you're going to do the
chev or one kak it's a chu so the chev
has to be somewhere in the middle but
that's somewhere in the middle there's
not a lot of space maneuvering space it
has to be exactly two kas
>> what' you Okay.
>> When you say time frame, what do you
>> refer?
>> That is correct. That's right. We're
going to get You're right. You're right.
We'll speak about it afterwards. If that
makes that have has to be longer also.
That's a separate discussion. I don't
think we're going to cover it now in the
shar. But that's a very good point.
Thank you for explaining that you're
saying that the equal of all the shvaram
together is ends up being longer. Let's
discuss it afterwards. It's a very good
point. So yeah,
but they have three in a row.
>> That is correct. Misha. Yeah. You you
end up doing three. And the problem is
if you're holding in the middle by the
chev you never accomplish the chev.
Yeah.
And that's how we that's what we do.
When the Mishna says the length of a tea
is a chu that's rashi that's tyus that's
everybody but how long is a ch the
Mishna says
which we saw
explain is three sounds says
and each is made out of three
which means if a is three yavas and each
yava is three kas, three peeps, three
small sounds. How long is a ch
nine?
It's not muish in the Mishna but that's
how Tissus explains. Tyus brings rashi
and he asks questions and therefore
mayor they explain the Mishna that when
the Mishna says are true as threeavas
each is three. So 3 * 3 is 9. So a true
is made out of nine.
So right away we have what changes is
obviously the chu like we do it we do a
chu is made out of nine
like the Mishna says how to understand
which each one is three so that's nine
and what else changes obviously the
length of the
Mishna says how long is a as long as a
so if au is made out of nine k
so then Your also has to be longer. Your
has to be as long as nine.
What happens now to the
So the became a whole lot easier now
because you almost have from two to nine
the whole in between could be the size
of a chev. We're going to speak late
soon a little bit more that it's not
exactly the whole two to nine two to
eight but again
a sh au is made out of nine kas nine
means shortest k as possible nine of
them and a k has to be as long as nine
kas. So a chev which is longer than a
trua but shorter than its k has to be
somewhere in between one and nine.
So we have a rashi and the length of a
does it have to be three. I'm sorry not
the length of a but how is a trua made
out of three
or nine?
We have a in the length of a does it
have to be long three or long nine.
And then we see aim also. How what the
size of a chevver each piece of the chev
how long does it have to be too or could
it be anywhere between two and eight.
This nav is also when you do avarim
which yeti brought up before that aren't
all the ka supposed to be the same
length and that's is it is supposed to
be the same which obviously when you do
a shvaram chua a shvaram chua is for
sure going to be longer than a chua
because you're doing both you're doing a
shvaram and a trua so what comes out
from a shvaram chua what's going to be
longer the tea of a shvaram true has to
be longer. That has nothing to do with
any
that's when the Mishna says that the
length of a is like a so depends what
your is. If your true is awarim then
your has to be long as long as aim.
But since we just saw that
how long a tru is or maybe even how long
avarim is. So then by the true that also
there's going to be a difference how
long the should be just on a side note
that it makes a difference for all the
across the border auarim
and even the set of tru that is going to
change how long it has to be before the
true or after
>> very good question but it's both both
the when the mission says the length of
the has to be like the trua means that
kia before and that afterwards.
So now that we have
the length of a and also the size the
length of avarim and how many pieces is
a true made out of. Let's try to go
through one by one how much room you
have
in changing it around and we'll see
maybe if we could even come to common
grounds to be both
a
again we said is how long a tea has to
be. So technically you could be all the
by doing a long could one do a long not
a rashi says that k is made out of three
kas a very short kia and tyra says that
k is made out of nine are longer could
you do longer than you need
so the pasta says you could blow as long
as you want
these mitzvah of kaz matzah you're
allowed to eat by the kaze kazim there's
no bis
So when the Tyra says to blow it blow it
the minimal shear is either like how
long the kia has to be but this and
that's the you could blow a kia 13
seconds also every single tea that's not
recommended because it'll knock you out
but you could blow a kia even as long as
you want. So that's pretty simple. A
tea, we're not going to blow very long
teas, but we'll blow enough to be even
just on a note that even if you're going
to blow a tea as long as a longer
butman says don't blow blow longer than
that, which means don't blow at more
than needed.
Why?
The Gomorrah says, "How do we know?
How do we know it's the Gomorrah says
like Rashi says
a straight coil
there is the
biscuit that he was that a should
literally be straight.
He had
by him the practice that a should be
super straight. No changing of the tone
in the middle the pitch higher lower the
means a straight coil literally
straight.
Now that's even where speaks about it.
He says even you don't have to be
and
know we are there which means if it's a
good even if it changes a middle not a
crack but even if the coil goes up it
goes down these a change of pitch it's a
good kia but says ofman
that much I would say don't blow the tea
longer than needed and that's going to
cause that the pitch might change so for
that at least Let's try to accomplish
this sheet of the the pitch of the tea
not changing. Now again, if you blow the
shear and it changes, it's not a
problem. But if you're blowing
above the shear, not that it's a
problem, but why blow extra long teas
and the pitch of the tea is going to
change and you're not going to be able
to accomplish this hid of
a straight straight coil.
So again could be as long as you want
and we could do a toas
that's that's excellent.
A au
obviously a true you can't make too a
tru you can't make too long if you're
going to do it too long it's going to
turn into a chevver a chevver you can't
do too long because it's going to turn
into a
Why? Because a chevvery,
how long is a chevver? Two.
No, but each chev each piece of a
chevver is made out of the amount of
two. So if you blow a one piece of a chu
a little too long, that is already a
chevver. So if you're holding by a
tarat,
>> oh that's exactly very good. Very good.
We'll get to Moshi in a second. First,
the length of the truer or the length of
awar each piece if you're going to blow
it a little too long, you're going to
run into problem. It's going to turn
into a it's going to turn into the next
ky a tru is going to turn into a chev. A
chev is going to turn into
buti brought up very well already that
of course a tru without any question you
could blow as many as you want.
We blow nine so we can be all the
yittita. So we blow nine rashi it's only
three but rashi doesn't mind if you blow
nine and even that says you need nine
tru you could blow 35 also so in the
mount of kas you could do as many as you
want
a lot of bala try to figure out how to
get the truer to about a little over
nine because to do 15 again knocks you
out but you could do as many as you want
A you could do as long as you want. We
sort of it's better to not go too long.
A chev I'm sorry. A truer. A trua. You
could do as many as you want. Av
you do more than threewarms.
Could you do more than threewarms? All
of our
when it says when they do three. Could
you do more than threearams?
Says you could. says it's not a problem.
You could do more.
You could do more. However, the brings
that say
it's better not to do more.
wasn't. So
>> that's
>> no it's you're asking if let's say
someone did by a chev or he did more
than three. It's not enough of a reason
to blow it over and we're going to get
to it shortly that blowing it over could
actually be a problem because then you
have to do over the whole row. So nope
you don't have to. Even the brings that
not to do it. But if you do it to say
that you were that's
>> right. You're right. You're saying on a
practical level also thewaram three you
could count nine is
smaller town
is a shorter longer number and it's
almost impossible to exactly n.
Yeah, agreed. It's easier you're saying
to get towarim three than to get to true
or nine. The good Bali tea have a way
with the beats, but you're right. It's
definitely much harder to get exactly
nine.
What happens if you actually blow by a
true you blow instead of nine you blow
you go on in other words it takes
instead of nine kas which will be two
seconds it'll take you now about seven
seconds for an example you go the tru is
a whole bunch of them since the mishn
says that the kia has to be as long as
your truer
does the kia now have to be longer
because your draws instead of nine kas
it's 35 kas so you have a longer chu
does your k also have to be longer
in other words
is a kachua delay your personal trua or
is it only the shar that's needed
the pisk in the
pkim don't speak about it The on the
Mishna says delay which means if you do
35 truis you have to blow a longer.
So to bring it now together we have a
rash and tis how long the shu is three
or nine and therefore how long the tea
should be and how long the chev should
be the
brings both
rash and tyis The brings both cheetahs.
Could we be both cheetahs? So we sp
mentioned before the you could do as
long as you want the
you could do as many as you want. So
then you could be
but we said the chevashi
has to be exactly two
has to be longer. Why?
Because like mentioned before all the
all the kus have to be the same length.
And if a the length of a is nine,
so then the length of avarim all three
pieces together also has to be nine.
You with me? Y avaram also has to be
nine. Which if a shvarim has to be made
out of nine, how much is each chev
and rashi? If you're going to blow a
chevver made out of three kas that's a
key already.
So in the you can't be both.
If you do a chev like rashi which is two
that's too short and if you do
chev which is three that's too long
rashi that's already at
however
the brought in the m
appish on the mafim
that you could make more sharims.
We saw the not to do it. You could blow
more.
So even though the total of all thearams
together has to equal to be nine, the
length of a why is a nine? Because a
true is nine. So your chev also your
whole set of threewarims has to equal
nine. Do a couple more. Do fivearims
and all five shvarims should equal nine.
So now each chev is going to be less
than three. And if each chevra is less
than three, it could be all the
so we have a way that you could blow all
the types of kus
was like that as well.
But that's not the minimum. The minimum
is to go like
we blow nine shu is as long as nine and
the is about three maybe a little more
but around three
>> kas
I got to
personally
So if you go with a person's length of a
trua, that wouldn't make a difference in
rash and tyus from three. Why? Because
I want to just back up in your question.
You want to know when a person blows a
tru
what type of what's the the length of
the sound? Some people could blow sharim
a true I mean I'm sorry like a machine
so speeding fast and some people takes a
little longer which is true and the pkim
speak about it if that makes the longer
also because if you're true you're true
as nine
or three but those nineas could be let's
give an example a second and a half or
it could two and a half seconds. So the
how do you to be the length of the tea
also but you're right also in rashi and
typhus and let's speak about it
afterwards how it's going to change but
there's a talk in the pkim in this
general shil where you're asking does it
change when different people blow true
as different sizes does it change the
tea and what you're bringing up in rash
entice also
>> yeah you're pointing out could be
What the average time that's how long it
k does it also how the about how fast he
does it or he's a general shear
on the clock
only one second or
>> you're right it's normal and you can
look at the clock and all the you look
at the clock meaning to say is even if
you go with a person's length you look
at the clock
that's always advised even when a bala
when I blow I ask the balm mockery to
tell me that when I I'm finished the
shear of the to stop whatever the shear
is but a
nothing there's no shear it's so there
could be a baa that blows it so speeding
fast that all nine could take him a
second then there's a baya that blows
all nine which are going to fast but not
as fast and it'll take two seconds. So
how long does the tea have to be? If
this BA took him a second, the key also
has to be as long as it should be 1
second. And if it takes the Balta 2
seconds, then the T should be two
seconds.
>> If the truer could be I'm just giving it
as an example. If the truer could be one
second, then yes.
Rashi
Rashi that how long is it true? Three.
So yes, a ka could be one second.
Rashi's kas are very short.
I want to just uh mamish bikitzer allow
me about three minutes just to bring a
big
between rashi and tis
rashi
is a ka which means it's shorter and
tyus is ara we do longer like tyus
however what happens the following
and it could happen and it actually once
happened to me two years ago what
happens
The balta said
and you blew three.
Usually a trua is made out of nine. We
do like but you blew three kas.
Now to understand the Shiloh you have to
know two denim there's one den that if
is having a hard time and he's working
to get that coil out whether if it's a
shvarim a true
it's coming out all types of funny
sounds and he finally gets it that's
fine it's not called a heik it's not a
heik it's niskal you're trying to do the
shvaram and it broke up in the middle
and you have to do it over that's fine
That's niskal and you just keep on
trying till you get it. However, if
let's say you blew the true already
after you blew the truer, you went ahead
and you blew some other sound. You did a
the first you did a truer. After the you
did another or you did awar
the is
that it's a
and you have if you're mafik in the
middle of the row you have to start over
and do the re and not the whole set of
all 10 but that row you did a a truer
and then you blew another truer you have
to start again from the tea you lost
that k you're showing it's a heick
So I want to ask the what happens. You
blew the you blew a but it was only made
out of three. What should you do now?
If you're going to blow
what what should you do now? If you're
going to blow
another trua to be
to do nine. So you're running into an
issue because Rashi is going to say whoa
whoa whoa don't blow another truer you
already y and if you're going to blow
another truer it's a heftick
to continue on to do the fine to do to
continue on and do a gania tyus is going
to say one minute you didn't do the tru
yet so what do you do in such a scenario
you blew a true of three
were you a true or not
you not
Very good. But just a second. But again,
we do like but don't tell me we do like
so then just do over. But then you're
being
because Rash is going to say if you just
do over the truer, you're doing it a
second time and you weren't yita. So
what do you do over here?
What should you do?
So the pkim
a lot of them say that like pointed out
you have to do over the whole row start
over from
even though the says this is an
important says
still And the misha says you can rely on
rashi still say to pkim that want you
start over the road
there is a a shila maybe some say you
don't have to because you're not really
you don't want to be with that and if
you don't want to be it's you're not and
some say you even like you're not to be
the kesh says that it's not like you're
not to be because you want to be but the
is that if such a case comes out. We
have Rash and Tyus even though we go
with Tyus, but if you're just going to
do over the it's going to end up being a
because Rash is going to say you can't
just do over the because you already and
it's a halfick. So what's going to come
out is that if somebody makes a mistake
by the and he blows only three, what
would be is he has to start over the row
again and do the over as well. So we
have a rash and the length of the how
many truas and the length of a chevver
and we see
which will come out even if we go like
and
which is brought in the to blow over the
whole row. Have a good chabas.
