Hilchos Chol Hamoed - Chol Hamoed AND Dovor Ho'ovud When is the Heter not Applicable

We're learning now the blather masechtas moed katan that speak about a lot of it hilchos chol hamoed. It's important to note could be I mentioned in a previous year just like it says like on the hilchos Yom Tov that it's assur everything on Yom Tov is assur bedoyme to Shabbos until you find till you find heter. Meaning to say is a person can't assume just like you're allowed to cook on Yom Tov. So there's a lot of things you're allowed to do. Let's What's What's the issur? It's It's assur till you find heter. The same is said by chol hamoed also. Chol hamoed it's assur bemelocho whether if it's assur mideoraisa or assur miderabonon, but it's assur bemelocho. Till you find heter. We're learning now the blatter, the mishnayos, the Gemara speaks about different shiurim of heterim, what's muttar to do on chol hamoed. But in a general klal, what's muttar, the Mishna Berurah in the beginning of hilchos chol hamoed, the beginning of chelek vav hilchos chol hamoed, the first seif katan in the Mishna Berurah, the Mishna Berurah categorize categorizes five klalei heter. And all the different shiurim go into those five klalim. There's many many pratidinim as we're learning the Gemara, the halacha. There's many pratidinim. And today's shiur be'ezras Hashem I would like to pick one klal. Obviously it's not shayach it's not shayach to cover not in one shiur, not in five shiurim, a klal in hilchos chol hamoed, but we'll start and I'll try to focus to the part of it what we're learning now the mishnayos, the Gemara and that's davar avid. Davar avid. The mission of Dove base the mission of Dove base that we're going to get to see you room of Dovera Ovid beginning at a second pair of Dovera Ovid the head of Dovera Ovid Dovera Ovid meaning to say is if there's a loss of money as we'll see soon where you plug it in it's motor. These two full simon and show us some tough love and Zion have 16 C from a tough love and 16 C from that speak about the head of Dovera Ovid. Now obviously you're going to the other simon as well as we'll soon see it's a it's not just a simmer for itself it's the head of Dovera Ovid by many different malachus. For an example and we'll begin with the example that the mission speaks about. One of the llama test malachus is this is a rare you're not allowed to plant. You're not allowed to plant in my door so one's not allowed to go and plant grass plant flowers plant you're not allowed to plant. It's one of the llama test malachus it is also a malachus. However Zeraia you can be over and Zeraia on shabbos and yum tip if not just if you put the seeds in if you water the plants it's also also. Kalamo eats It's motor if you're not going to water the plants it's going to die it's motor. That's the mission mash give me some money you're not allowed to water the field the motor and kalamo eats but I often that if you're not going to water it it's going to die that's Dovera Ovid you're going to have a loss of money it's motor. Like Rashi says it's motor she you have said she will I have said The mail that's motor. The past the Shaka and the tough times you follow if it's motor. So the mail what the mail that's motor for a person has to bring it into practical mama should be my name to understand. And if a person watering fields. Person has in his backyard tomatoes. And if he's not going to water the tomatoes, the tomatoes are going to die. He has to water them. It's motor to water the tomatoes and holiday. If he's watering it stand blush bigger on which means to make it juicier better. So it's my water tough to die and it's awesome. But if you're not going to if you're not going to water the tomatoes from before you have to do after you have to do including holiday the tomatoes are going to die. That's called over all and then it's water. What's about watering plants? Here we're talking about. Plantation of rice tomatoes or food that you need. What's about plants? So the bear motion has a chew about it. Could be it's portion but the bear motion actually is miss caution how to be matter is you know he speaks about it. And he says that a plant you a lot of water the plant if it's going to die but only if it's needed. Be it to say is if the plant if it takes. If you only have to water it once a week. So then water the plant once before you have to do it once after you have to do it. There's no head to water the plant and holiday. Flowers or whatever it is. My shaking let's say it needs twice a week. So water it once before you have to do it once after you have to do it once holiday. Both of the head of the over all it is a lot of water it for my heart. So automatic sprinklers on grass is a problem. Uh I have it written a little later. We'll get to it in a moment, but you brought it up now. You're You're saying about automatic speak I mean, if you don't even You don't even turn it on the cloud. So, turning it on, you're doing You're doing a melacha. So, after my eye and more about it, but that's where if it's set on a schedule, I think it whatever the schedule is, you're not turning it on then. But, it's That's It's not in the scope of what we're talking about. No, turning it on turning it on, you're watering. Turning on the sprinkler, you're watering. Just turning the knob is a hole. So, what is So, what do you mean? If you It's running down the hoses and coming out of all the things spokes and things in the ground is going. Let's say you have the You have the hose with a with a thing on the end and you you just squeeze it and it waters. So, that's That's your planting. What's your shaila that it's very easy to do? So, we'll get to that soon. I want to talk I'll bring it in the gabbai teche. But, the viable regular is a rare automatic sprinkler that's a shaila in general that's could be in the gale also a person has it on a clock and it go on on Shabbos and Yom Tov also. If he does melacha on automatic, no melacha at least. And And the mailer if it's no melacha, so then passes that should be muttar Shabbos and Yom Tov could be there's a problem of maris ayin. Good, that's uh that's off the scope of now, but it's a good shaila to go to aristas ayin. What do you mean maris ayin if I'm going to go to everyone knows I'm not doing Good, that's a maris ayin that could be a separate discussion also. Let's the minimal time the little bit of time let's try to focus on the on the davera of it. So, the mailer a lot of water you a lot of water a plant by even that you need it. Another example, this was up until now we spoke about zoreya planting. Another example would be boina. These are issur to be boina on chol amoed and issur. Doesn't make a difference. Doesn't mean dafka to build a house, you know, or to do anything that goes into the issur boina. What happens if somebody's front door broke? So, the din is that you're allowed to put the door back on. You're allowed to fix the door. Why? Because if not, he's hefsek gormel gormel can come in. Gormel can come into your house, so maybe you're allowed to fix it. So, even though it's boina, it's daver oved and it's mutar. Daver oved and it's sakana mayis. The Shulchan Aruch it's either the Shulchan Aruch or the Mishnah Berurah the poskim say that it's daver oved, but you so what sakana mayis you can't live there? It's a sakana you're saying? That's That's one of the Shabbos of Shabbos of Pesach, But why isn't that sakana mayis? The Shulchan Aruch says the place is a hefsek. She may al ni Pesach pasuch ad al shivurim nimtza me'ubad kol mashim ba'bayis. Seemingly, you could still live there, but if the pshat is if the door is open in the middle of the night, gormel can come in and clean out the house. You know what? I'll answer you I think very pashut. You're not even living in that house. You're not living there ba chlal. So, you're living actually you're you're for Yom Tov you're somewhere else. So, that's your bungalow upstate. Are you allowed to fix the front door? The answer is yeah, pashut because if the door is open, people are going to go in and steal. Another example we'll soon be macha of a little bit more on it, but first want to try to go through step by step. The reason why it's mutar it's daver oved, you're going to lose money. Another example Another example is somebody has a a beged, a suit and he's a ripping the suit. These are issur one of the test malachas of Taifer. You know so Chol HaMoed is allowed to sew. However, if you're not going to fix your suit, the beged is going to it's going to rip completely. It's going to rip. Davar avid it's mutar. One more example before we move along. Writing severs also on Shabbos, it's also on Yom Tov, it's also on Chol HaMoed. However, if let's say you need to write down a guy borrowed money. What if you want to make a star? Well, let's say you need to write down bonus pragmatia. A guy is very good. Could be that's a different moment to have the mitzvah, but let's say a person saying we should bear to write down some way gave you Yom Tov. That misses however you didn't write all this guy remembers. If you put the clips, you could save the clips till after Yom Tov. But let's say you know, a guy has a store that he's allowed to be open on Chol HaMoed, a grocery store, and he needs to write down certain bonus if not he's going to lose money. So it's mutar. Davar avid it's mutar. Furthermore, davar avid meaning to say is when it's a there's a loss of money. You're allowed to do malachas. It's not that kind of loss of money. Even if there's a loss in a different way. For an example, this last case we're giving about severs that's mutar. If a person brings this case, if a person has swarm to learn from and these mistakes, and he wants to be my gear to swarm. It's severs. It's mutar to do because it's a davar avid. You're not going to be able to learn. Not that kind of and it's nothing to do with money. The Mishnah Berurah brings another example. If a person's learning and he's a chiddush and you're afraid you're going to forget the chiddush, You're allowed to write it down in Chol HaMoed. You go to a Shiur, you hear a Shiur of Torah, you're afraid you're going to forget it by the time after Yom Tov, you're allowed to write it down. What's the heter? Dover Ha'aved. So Dover Ha'aved is a heter. Dover Ha'aved is a heter. Meaning to say is as we went through some examples, if a person's going to lose money for the loss of money, a person's allowed to do melacha on Chol HaMoed. We went through Zoreah, that's the case in our Mishna, Mishnayos. We went through other other Shiurim. Now, Ksiva Toifer, Boneh. Lema'aseh it's like this. It's important to note that this heter of Dover Ha'aved that allows a person to do a melacha is not a blanket heter. You can't say, "Listen, I'm allowed to do a melacha. Dover Ha'aved, I could do any melacha in any way, shape, or form." You're allowed to do a melacha, but only a melacha of a Ma'aseh Hedyot. Meaning to say, something that's simple to do. What goes into Hedyot, what goes into Uman obviously you have to go through each case. But to give an example, let's say to fix the front door that we mentioned before. The Pashtus, that's considered a Ma'aseh Uman, at least in the Shulchan Aruch. It's not to just to put in a nail, to fix something, to screw something on, could be that's a Ma'aseh Hedyot. But to replace a door, that's already something that needs to be done by profession. That is assur even for Dover Ha'aved. So even though we just said now, and we're learning now in the Mishnayos, the Gemara, that Dover Ha'aved is muttar, it it's not a blanket heter for every for for every for every every Dover Ha'aved you're allowed to do melacha. You're allowed to do melacha one of the what example where it's not a hector is where it's needed needs to be a mice to human something that needs profession where it's also. However, even though we said we're saying now that it's also have said the God though then it's mother. So again, up until now we said that if there's a loss of money, you allowed to do melacha on chol hamoed. general It's the matter of money. I can have that there because if the melacha that you're doing is a professional melacha, then you don't have the hector. However, if it's have said the rubber What does it mean have said the rubber? If you don't fix your front door and the guy could gone of comes in and cleans a person's house out, that's have said the rubber. It's not just stand loss. It's a big loss. The government is mother. Even the hector that we just said now that if a person's going to lose money you're allowed to do melacha on chol hamoed. What type of loss of money? So we said that if it's a loss of a lot of money, even allowed to do a mice to human. But the other way around, if it's only a minimal loss, then you don't have the hector. Like that case that we brought one of the cases was sewing. Sewing on chol hamoed is a melacha. It's It's a melacha shabbos yom tov chol hamoed and it's also. We said to fix a suit, it's mother. Why is it mother? Because it's a double rabbit because it's going to rip. It's only mother but I have seen that the suit's going to rip completely. However, if it's torn and if you're going to wear it, it's just going to tear a bit more that's called have said the weight but I have got it's also. One's only allowed to repair a suit, his shirt, his back issue only if the other is if you're not going to fix it, it's going to tear through completely and it's going to be a half cent. Doesn't have to be a half cent maruba, but there'll be a half cent. But if there's just a little tear and it's it's going to tear a bit more a minimal minimal half cent by high government is no hatter. So just to sum up so far what we have before we go into more protein and so to speak. The over of it is a hatter. Meaning to say is if there's a loss of money, there's a hatter to do malacha. It's not a hatter to do a professional malacha unless there's half cent maruba. So what comes out? A person's front door broke. It's motor to fix. A person's a door in the house the door to your dining room broke. That you're not allowed to fix. Why? Because there's no half cent maruba. Planting watering the plants. You have two plants in your house. One plant, I'm not such a maven on plants, one plant you need to water, it doesn't need a lot of water once a week. One plant you have to plant every day. So just because you're allowed to plant, you're allowed to water the plant that needs water every single day, doesn't mean you're allowed to water the plant that's needs once a week. And that's what the Gamara means when the Gamara says that that few days blossom in the masachta we'll get to that as the sham. The Gamara says Amar of Chana by Guria Amarav Hilchos Moyed the Hilchos Kutim by Alacha. The Gamara says Lamai Hilchasa that Hilchos Moyed is Hilchos Kutim. So if the Gamara loyima she ain't a Kuris a Kuris a akur person that can't have children. She The aim of May days zoom is zoom. You can't learn one alacha from the next, one year from the next year. We're learning now in Hilchos Chol HaMoed, one of the five general heterim davar avid. Davar avid is a clear heter to do melacha on Chol HaMoed, clearly. However, just because it lets you water one plant doesn't mean you can water another plant. And just because it lets you fix your front door doesn't mean you can fix your door within your house. Even though they're both could be davar avid. The truth is because they're not both davar avid, means you can't learn from one year to the next year. Or even if there is a davar avid within your house, let's say the door to the dining room, you want to close it because if not it's going to ruin something, the air conditioning or whatever, but it's if it's not half simru ba, there's no heter. Now, we'll move over to let's call it the part two. The heter of davar avid, meaning to say is the loss of money that's matter to do melacha on Chol HaMoed is also matter another isur. A easier isur, but another isur. There's a isur tircha on Chol HaMoed. Is it tircha? Nothing to do with doing melachas. For an example, a person has a warehouse and he wants to move the boxes from one side of the warehouse, from one warehouse to another warehouse, from one room to another room. That's tircha. Brought in Shulchan Aruch, it's assur. You write down the Ramak, it's assur. Clog a poskin the Shulchan Aruch, there's a isur tircha. However, if moving the boxes is going to you're not you're losing money if you don't move the boxes. For an example, it's leaking in the warehouse and you want to move the boxes, what turha? We're not talking about you moving it with a forklift. Turha, you personally want to move the boxes, you're not doing any melacha, it's mutar. Bedavar avid, turha bedavar avid is mutar. So, davar avid is a heter that could be applied to doing melacha on chol hamoed. Davar avid is a heter that could be applied to turha. And yet in our mishna that we're learning over here, we learned a few weeks ago and the gemaras that we're learning going on to the mishna, we have both. Planting stay base asot stay base asholchan that you're allowed to water, side it's zoreah this a melacha, side is turha, and it's mutar. Why? Cuz of davar avid. However, quark However, just like we said before that davar avid is a heter to do melacha, but let's say not a maiseh uman, davar avid is a heter for turha, but not turha is sera. Not turha is sera. If it's very stre- strenuous, then it's assur. What's an example? An example is our mishna. You're allowed to water the field if it's stay base abba, which means it's work, it's turha, but it's not gefila turha. What you do is you open up a you know, a system of water that goes into the field, that's mutar. But to go with buckets and to water the field, that's turha is sera. Even though it's davar avid, if you don't water your field, there's going to be a loss of money. It's still it's awesome. The over over is is not a hit the boy from Turkey is Sarah. The Gamora that dollar that we just learned. The Gamora makes a hillock. Between. Opening up. Water systems that's awesome cuz that's called Turkey is Sarah. Meaning to say is if you have already systems. Going through your field and you just want to fix it up touch up suck the Gamora that's mother that's not Turkey is Sarah. But to open up to dig to start digging. That the water should go through that's awesome cuz that's Turkey is Sarah. Uh. Have said God will get to that in a minute very good. What say? Yes, so posture says a hacker will get to that in a minute. We'll get to that in a minute in certain sure with the mother. Uh-huh. So so. And the mice to women we said that have some Aruba say hacker. I want to get to all this mama should a minute with this I'm going to conclude back to our mission and the Russia. I can the end of the shilin. Hopefully this year after the smile will be a continuation of years mama should negate this platter. But I'll come upon and we said Turkey. Is mother but not Turkey is Sarah. The place can say this money no all this that we're learning. You don't even have to come out to the head of Turkey. Today in a field. With one turn on of a button like you mentioned earlier. Though it may be the maloca of the area of watering. And the mainly you have to come out to the heather of Davar Aved. But these maybe not have these no turkey there is no turkey just turning on a turning on a button and it waters. First one to water his flowers he turns and pushes a button. So there's no turkey there's the other these malacha you still have to come on to Davar Aved. But but if a person is watering his flowers if it doesn't need to be watered even if it's no turkey you just push a button but the malacha would be awesome to you need to have to have Davar Aved. The Shulchan Aruch speaks and the Mishnah Berurah over there speaks about a case of putting a chicken on a egg. The chicken left you want to bring another chicken it's turkey is say that to put to keep the chicken on the egg that the egg should turn into a chicken it's also it's turkey is say. There are a term even for turkey is say for malacha. I have to be my eye and more of what you're asking about have said Maroubra. I remember seeing it I don't have a written over here I remember seeing we're going to leave it on the side for now maybe we'll get back to it in the next year. But there are a term for an example in for malacha. If a person needs it for malacha or if a person the springs a little bit the case malacha there are certain cases that this is a person's life this is his business. For an example a person in the olden days went took his to the shop. So if the shop let's say was twice a year. And that's how he made his money for a half a year and the shop fell out to be on holiday. Even if it's turkey is say with this a term. So in the are a term even turkey is say that it's matter. Great show today. thing. So, this is maneinu. All these things have to be re- have to be So, that's a different shaila. Maybe it's a heter legabe melocha. Maybe it's not even melocha. It's stam as a working in a royasim brocha. Because these cases that you're bringing up, I just want to share a drop of where it's negaya also, which hopefully we'll speak in the next year is A person owns a business. And he wants his workers to come in as Yiddish workers or goyish workers. He wants to He wants to keep it open because he has to pay them anyways. Is that called dover avid? Could the workers come in? Yidden that work, if they don't come in, they're not getting paid. That's called That's dover avid. So, there's a lot more to still speak about what goes into dover avid, what doesn't go into dover avid. What we spoke so far is that dover avid is a heter to do melocha. Of course, not in all cases, but it's a heter to do melocha. It's also a heter bemokem tircha. So, just to be mesayem with a question and we'll continue be'ezras Hashem maybe the next week or so, maybe it'll be binyani of shvuos, but we'll get back to it with a recap of this year. Our mishna. The mishna says that you're allowed to water the field stay beis av. It's a melocha. And it's tircha and it's mutter. It's not tircha of sayra, but carrot. The other tircha that the that let's say the to go with buckets, that's assur. So, it's tircha and it's melocha. So, it's mutter cuz it's dover avid. What's the pshat? Rashi says the loshon, it's mutter. It's mutter, it's a melocha and it's tircha, it's mutter lefi shehu loy hefsed godol. What? Dafke cuz it's Hefsed Godol? Lo choy even if it's not Hefsed Godol, it would also be mutar. Davar Oved is mutar, it's a melacha. Was mentioned before what's if it's a myseh umen to fix a system. But here, just a regular water to open up, pashut it's not a myseh umen. And it's not tircha d'sayreh. Tircha d'sayreh is before later that it would be assur. So I say, why does it have to be dafke Hefsed Godol? Davar Oved without Hefsed Godol would be mutar. To be continued. Have a wonderful Shabbos.
