Menachos Daf 85

All right, folks, I'm getting my head. That's page and we were talking about the Mahlke of Yachna and Resh Lakish about inferior bikurim if you could bring it. If it actually becomes bikurim. So, we're picking it up now five lines from the bottom of page 112 that we seem to have a steer and braces. Tony Shuba Gabi Shuba Shuba Shuba in these locations where Lakira you could have inferior bikurim maybe the Kyrie. The Tanya another braces says maybe they ain't a Kyrie. So, Bishlam the Resh Lakish I understand to be Mahlke in these braces according to Resh Lakish because according to Resh Lakish that holds inferior bikurim are brought. So, it will depend. Bishlam the Resh Lakish God Agag like Kusha Hubagag Demara and Hubagag Debayis because the Gaga on a bayis is obviously not the ground. It's on your roof of your house as opposed to a Gaga in the Mara in a cave it is still the ground. And likewise Korva Korva like Kusha Kama Korva Avuda and Kama Korva in a Avuda whether or not this Korva has been cultivated as earth whether it will be a live like real ground. And it's like Kusha and it's not fair the braces when it talks about flower pots Kama Kama in a if it has a hole in it. And Sfinas like Kusha Kama Sfinas or Kama Sfinas because a thick Sfinas that's sitting on the ground is like the dirt itself. Moving over to Mid Aleph and Rab Yachna according to Rab Yachna that never when you have Shvachas you can bring it for bikurim. So, in all those scenarios it should be Shvachas and therefore how do you ever have according to Rab Yachna a Yishuv in Stera of these braces? And for the Gamara Kama Tanaim did Tanya Shuba Shuba maybe the Kyrie Shuba Shuba Sfinas maybe call so according to Rab Yachna he has a time to be some kind. Okay, then the Mishna had said the Kulan and all the carbon ain't on boys element. It only comes from the best kind of flower and then the Mishna went and said that the town of Afuraim is the place where you get the best grain for the carbon. So, now the Gamara just brings a little story about Afuraim that Amrelai Yachna and Mamre those were the Kisha the magicians in Mitzrayim that they said Yachna and Mamre said to Moshe Rabenu Tevin at the Maghnes to Afuraim you're bringing Tevin to Afuraim. We are the kings of Afuraim here, which was an expression that you're trying to bring magic to us by turning your mate into a nachash. Come on, man. This is the magic capital of the world. So, Moshe Rabbeinu said back to them, "I'm re-in-she l'mosa yarka, to a place where they sell vegetables. Yarka shuckle, take your vegetables as well." So, I have two points to say on this small little exchange. The first one is the idea from the Bnei Yisrael. Why b'chlal was there a message of taking the mate and turning it into a nachash? So, Bnei Yisrael and the Bnei Yisrael wants to suggest that really it's coming to answer the kasha that the rishonim have that since there was a haftacha that the Yidden would be enslaved in Mitzrayim, and therefore why did the Mitzrayim even deserve to be punished? Some of you talked about this at your seder. So, the way the Ramban deals with this kasha is because the Mitzrayim went way above and beyond. Sure, if they would have just been the tool of Hashem just to do exactly what he wanted, it would have been one thing, but they tortured the Yidden. And there was no necessity to do that kind of torture. And that was the message of the mate turning into a nachash. It's one thing if you want to just be a mate, if you're just going to be a stick, like a tool, okay, then you wouldn't deserve the punishment, but you went ahead and became a nachash. You went above and beyond and became evil. So, that was the messaging of the maiseh naiseh that Moshe Rabbeinu was showing. But, the other point to make over here is Rashi's lashon that Rashi in the Ksav Yad says, "Hey mamru lei divrei l'tzonus." Since these magicians said this l'tzonus, take a line of what are you bringing your straw to Aforaium? So, hu heishiv lo inyanu. Moshe Rabbeinu answered in kind. And Rav Breuer Margolies brings that this is actually the right mahalach. If somebody is not really going to listen to you, just shut down the conversation. It's like a kid having a tantrum that you can't reason with them. So, you just say whatever you got to say just to end it. Moshe Rabbeinu was doing. This was not a logical dispute or argument with them. That's how Rashi learns what's going on over here. It's like the Mishnah, "Ein mevi'in leimi b'seis ha'zvolim." You can't bring grain from fertilized fields. And Rashi brings two p'shatim either because maybe she didn't have enough fertilizer, maybe he didn't get enough fertilizer and therefore won't be grain, or because let's face it, it's gross. But, either way, you shouldn't bring from a beis ha'zvolim. U'leimi b'seis ha'ilan, and not grain that grew between the trees because the trees suck out most of the nutrients and therefore it's shvach or asheira. But, v'im hayve it's going to be kosher. But, the hayve it'll still be okay. K'eit tz'dakah so, what's the right way to do the best kind of quality grain? Nara Shana Rishayna, plow it one year without planting anything. In the second year, you plant it 70 days before Pesach. That will make a lot of flour out of that kind of grain. Kate said, "By the way, how do you check the flower to see that it was properly sifted out?" The Gizbar who takes the flower for the Menorah, he puts his hand into it. So, if the dust comes into his hand, Sula Achiyena Fena, that flower is going to be possible until you resift it. Miss Leah, if the flower became wormy, then psula. It's always going to be possible even if you take out the worms. Doctor Gamara, Kate said, "I said Nara Shana Rishayna." This that the Mishna said that the best way to make this grain is to plow it in the first year without planting anything. And in the second year, that's when you plant it 70 days before Pesach. See by Lou, they had a shala how to understand this advice that is giving. Hey what is the Mishna mean? Nara Shana Rishayna, do you plow the first year and then Shnia Nara V'zaira, the second year you again plow it and then plant it? I don't know Nara Shana Rishayna and then you're done. You don't have to re-plow it the second year. So, bring a raya that you actually plow it both years, first and second year. Because the brice says the over. Off Karziam in those locations, Ilmole Smuchas Yerushalayim, if they would be close to Yerushalayim, how you may be in Mayhem would bring the Sairum for the Carbon Imer from them. We only bring the Sairum of the barley from those Mudramis, the southern fields. Rashi says because the sun is more available for longer parts of the day. Taysis brings from a Rashi in the K's of Yad. It's on the southern slope of the city because on the northern slopes they don't get much winter sunlight. And those that were plowed for this purpose, for this carbon, because on them the sun rises and shines and then the brice said, "Kate said Yasa, how do you do the work on this land to make this grain?" Nara Shana Rishayna and in the second year, Nachamol your Shaina, there's your answer. The Zaira and then you do the planting 70 days before Pesach and if you do this kind of a Mahalak, the field will make a stalk that's the size of a Zeras and the Shibalas will be the size of two Zerasas. The Kaser Umamar Vadosh and you harvest it, you gather it, you thresh it. Then you do these other processes or maybe bring it to the base of Migdash. Some dust comes up on his hand. I'm only How often do I say it again? The Gizbar would actually make his hand wet with Shamen so that the Avak would stick to his hand. So bring up more of that powdery dust. But what's the bottom line from this Brisa? Tell me me this. In the second year they would do a Harisha. There you have your answer. The Gamara says what are you talking about? You can bring a Raya from this Brisa. This Brisa is clearly not going to be a Carmishon anyway cuz it doesn't say he repeats the plowing in the second year. Turning over to the base. But the Brisa Shaina. So the Carmishon is not going with this Brisa which the Gamara says it's talking about two different situations. It's talking about where it's already been in a Vuda the Kifil. So you don't need to plow it a second year in a row. But the Brisa is talking about where it's a field that was not a Vuda and therefore you got to plow it twice. My hobby a love. How often do you plow the field? Do you do it for the second year or not? I'll bring you a Raya from the Brisa that you don't need to in the second year cuz the Tanya near if in the first year you plow the whole field and you leave half of it fallow and you actually plant it in the other half of it and in the second year you're near take care of the other half the same way. So what do we see that in the second year you don't have to do a Ganza plowing if you already did in the first year. In May Venus Imer element of Sodice Hamud Ramice you bring the iron for the carbon iron only from those southern fields that are in Israel. The Brisa that the iron for the iron would come from this particular valley of base Macla. That field was the area of three sign. The southern area was in the southern part of Israel. The sun rise and shine. And and from it the sun would set. The first year they would plow the whole field and leave half of it fallow and then plant in half of it with the siren. And near then in the second year near he again would plow the whole field leaving the half planted one alone, but then plant in the other half with the barley seeds. And that's how they would plant the siren for the carbon have a little corner of the field. He had this little corner piece of land in the southern part of near he did this plowing the whole field leaving half of it alone and half of it planting. And then the next year near by doing this he was able to get twice the amount of yield from such a field. He sold the grain for the finest kind of wheat flour. So you see it was a great and there's your farming advice for the day. Then the mission had said if it becomes wormy it's permanently. If the flower itself became wormy it's the same thing with wheat. How do I measure? Do I look at the wheat of the kernel or do I look at the flower that would be produced by that wheat to measure how much it was by that wheat to measure how much it was and half of them is by let's say a person was the wormy wheat for a carbon. See absolutely did the wrong thing as our mission just said. But that would be the same thing as a person who is a for a carbon which we know you get it because I do my homework every day. You won't apply this wormy flower and compare to an animal. Half of them is flower and compare to an animal. Tonight we learned in the mission in the second part of call any wood that you find a worm in it cannot use that wood for the only if the wood is moist. If dry wood gets worms in it you can take the worms out and use the rest of the wood. Boy let's Let's say a person went ahead and was this wormy wood. My wish all of them same kind of even a possible dummy. I don't know if I'm a little bit and after them is the one who knows isn't that the exact same the Mishnah I am the Mishnah alpha the city of is the alpha that is the top of the line where you can get the best oil. So if you want to get oil for your car and get Get it from that city of a regular the silver medal goes to the town of in Jordan and that's where they would bring the oil from bring the oil from olive trees that were in a that had the fertilizer on them which brings just the second shot he had said earlier that they are they are frankly gross the goes to the Paris won't be as the not from the olive trees where seeds were sown in between because they're going to weaken the olives They are still because they have a big time or perhaps the is a way they brought such kind of oil will be a should bring oil from olives that were soaked in water because the water is going to ruin the oil and not from the pickled olives not from the boiled ones those are going to be so the Mishnah says and that's where I got the smart woman why was sent specifically there to find the wise woman Because actually says I can't say somehow the oil makes you smart but on the bright side says he dips his foot in oil so I mean washing of the oil would have all this is a oil and they told over the following story to bring out this point and they had they needed oil so cool they appointed a actually says the wasn't Jewish And they said to the lake the mayor go bring us this massive amount of shaman of oil. So I am the schleich went to Jerusalem to buy the oil. Should go to who I'm relay which is a location in Usher. The people said you should go to this certain guy Shamatsu so the schleich went and the schleich found the Yiddish farmer digging and doing all the manual labor under his own olive trees. He looked like a dick and pile over here didn't he? Look like the rich guy that you'd expect who had all the oil. The schleich said to him yes shaman ribeye do you have this tons of oil that I need? I'm relay the Yid said to the schleich come to me a sign wait until I finish my work. Him to not just sign my latte the schleich waited until the farmer finished he Caleb tied up his different little tools and he threw them over his shoulder and he was clearing stones from the field on the way home. Acting like a guy even though he's this big oil magnet. The schleich said yes shaman do you have all the tons of oil that I need and she this guy thought himself seems like the Jews are making me cuz they're sending me to this guy who clearly cannot be the rich oil guy. When they finally reached his hometown I see come come the ship brought out a come come of hot water they brought out a golden cali filled with oil now he started look like the rich guy that the schleich was expecting. After all the stuff after they ate and drank they measured out all this tons of oil I'm relay come to me and he said you need some more I'm relay the schleich said yeah I don't need anymore I got no more cash. So I'm relay if you want you can take it on credit I'll get paid later don't worry about it. I need you mark it all down I'll go with you to take the oil back home and I'll collect the money then. So took another 180,000 worth of oil the people said after this massive deal was made, the was not able to leave any animal every rental car agency was all because they needed all these animals to so much oil. Given when the got to the city and everybody want to praise and said well he's great. I'm a la ham. He said to them don't praise me. I'm just a it's the year who came with me he measured for me that I first asked for and then he came with another 180,000 on top of that. They ain't called there are some people who give the impression of being rich and they got this some actually give the impression being poor but they're really very rich. We'll stop here and pick it up with this bottom line two dots on tomorrow's stuff.
