CHAZARAH - Menachos Daf 33 | "Nothing but the Daf" with R' Eli Stefansky

[music] Good morning. [screaming] We're holding Oh, I have to go back a little bit. I forgot about this. Okay. Where are we holding? Another mitzvah the mitzvah to put the muza inside the doorway and not on the outside. Unfortunately, I did not uh transfer that that piece. Okay. So, we saw the the shaden one, right? This is in in the doorway but not flat like where the light is. You see like on that part of the stone not over there. It should be inside the doorway inside your gate. Inside the doorway it says as we're going to learn it's a mitzvah to put it one away from the street. So the further away it is from your house, the closer it is to the street because as we're going to see, you're supposed to like the first thing you touch, the first thing you come in contact with or uh see is the muza. So maybe it should be on the face of the house, not in the house, not under the door. Now, no, it's no good if it's on the face. It should be in in the doorpost. This is this is a doorpost. So it should be over here and not over here. I think over here it's even closer to the street. You come here, you bump into the muza right here. No, it should be inside over here. Okay. Okay. Another top of said in the name of if you wrote your muza on two columns as so no good. I have a question. If you wrote it on two rows and you actually inserted it into two separate as so but it seems like if you wrote it on two columns but put it into the problem over here is two muza boxes but if you put the two rows into one box it's kosher says no the problem over there is not that he put it into two boxes The problem is the reason why it's possible is not because he put into two. It's because he wrote it in a way that he could put it into two. The actual writing is is the is what ples it that the fact that you wrote onto two columns that's possible. Another one. So this is very interesting. We have a situation in in our office. I didn't really check it out, but I'm just it might be even worse than I think. We have two offices below the base marish. Both of them have doors facing outside. You could access the two offices from the outside. But they also have a door in between them. Connecting door like in hotel room sometimes you get a door so your kids could share the room with you. So the question is in a door like that in a hotel room in a hotel room is a big problem. We might have the same problem downstairs. Go check. But let's say there's only one door. Which what's what's the dominant room? The one that Yoshi sits in, I would say. Or maybe it's the other guy or whatever, you know? So, how do you how do you figure it out? They might be equal. So, then why would I put the muza on the right side, maybe on the left side? Maybe I'm entering from this guy's office to that guy's office. So, the is that we go by the by the hinge. and we look at where the hinge is. In other words, what it really means is where does the door open up to? And that's how we're going to finish off today's sug. But at the end, we're going to see this idea comes back. Where does the door open up to? [clears throat] >> Oh, so if it's pocket door, some even say you don't need like sliding doors. is whether you need we say you do but it goes by the so becomes very interesting oh my what does it mean what are you I don't even understand what you're saying heir recognizes a hinge so we have a little bit this is not going to help much but you see in those days the hinges were like this what it really means is the the swing of the door. So [clears throat] let's see for instance let's say you know like every typical house has two rooms one is for the wife one is for the husband one is for the man one for the woman they try not to >> mingle benbe gave leashi here the garra says it I didn't say it and here it is here here's the house your typical house the pink on the right that's the woman's side >> and and and then the guy has his thing now. Once in a while they want to visit each other. So there's a door. >> No, no, no. The house. She's in a she's in some. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I said, "Mom, it's like our office." This beautiful. Look at this. >> Each one has a doorway. You can get access. You don't have to disturb the other person. >> In the house. She's busy cooking, doing her thing. He's doing his thing. So they had a like a And you talking the whole house is probably 8 by eight. Okay. you know, a little bit so you have a little privacy, but there's a there's a there's a doorway in between much like our offices. This is this is how our offices look. >> So goes by us. There's two doors. I didn't want to go into that's why I said it's very complicated. Once you put a second door on it, then I don't know what to do. But over here, it's very obvious. The door swings open into the woman's quarter. So ma, you're going to put the muzza leaving from the man's side. You put it on the right. That's on the hinges. You see? You see where the hinge goes? it it opens, swings up this way. So, you're going to put it on the right. Now, if it's swung into the man's side, so on the right side of the woman from where the woman leaves out, I don't care what side the hinge is on. By the way, it could have been that the door opens into the woman's side and the door is actually hung on the on the opposite side of the frame. You could also swing it the other way, but the muza will be on the right side of the man. Always on the right side. Doesn't matter how this door swings, it's where opens and open. >> A door can open this way. It could also open this way. It the but the point is it's always going to be on the right side leaving the man. >> Hold on. >> This is this is the door. I'm going from the man into the woman's side. The muza is going to be right over here. Now, sometimes in our depiction, the door open this way, but the door could also open this way. That doesn't matter. The muzza is always going to be on the right side of the man leaving the man's room on this side. It's not going to be on this side. It doesn't go by the door which way it opens. It just because it opens into the woman's side. So that shows that the man is dominant. He's he it swings open into the wife side. So he's he's going to put on the right side. Don't get confused by how the door opens. I'm not a rav and I'm not passing any nobody should pass him based on the we're throwing out mim that the way we understand in the g how it is I don't know ra ga the head of the the community the gal bas he built a housemar so he tells and we know was son-in-law tell son-in-law you know go put him put She says there's a little bit of a problem to dash. First install the doors. Can't put the the the muza on the doors when they're, you know, in on the construction site. First you have to install them, then yet you uh you make a brah. You just >> by the way, what is this called? This is called that we're going to talk about it later. I could show you the video now or later. What do you guys want? passive elimin. It's basically you put the muza laying down almost like a nail like um I forgot what it's called. A bolt a bolt of the door. Negger is a bolt of a door. Any when we were in London and I we were in that hotel I forgot the name of that from hotel and they had a they have a shaw there that used to be a >> pillar. >> The pillar. Thank you. So they have like a shaw there and they have a door that's like a couple hundred years old and I took a picture I couldn't find it yesterday. It had a neger it had the the bolt the whole thing. Oh, so you put it sideways. It's not good in R's house. All the were laying down like that. And another second thing, you know those the like a private door that comes right by the sneak into the base. So Rav had one of these. Uh Rebi had one of these and it didn't have a muzza on it. So we have two problems here. means like this. Okay. Like laying down like a like a like a like a pin or like a like a nail. And look at this interesting one. Stir is like a you know bend in the knee which would make it very interesting. That means there's a bend in the muza. This is like >> so as in between. >> Well, why with the case? the case means there's a muza that shape that's I'm talking I'm not making this up this they discussed this now what's interesting is that why do we put our muza on a slant because exactly rashi holds muza should be straight up says laying down so we do we go like this okay there's a lot of people that don't know why do we Go slanty now. Spartim, if you know, go to Sparty house, standing up. You go to Tmani's house, standing up. You go to at least Stfansky's house, standing up. Because the grow goes like rashi. I I started understanding why yesterday like why would he do that? Do because >> it's like it's like but >> the girl says listen, we go with let's go with Rashi and finish standing up. >> Okay. And you see I mean I I asked the go straight up in other words that's from this you could be but we go it's you don't want okay well but here's something very very interesting that I think is very important for everybody to know is this how do we make sure that our don't fall out of the kesh like if you're you have a nice round tall thing you put it in it's not going to go anywhere what do ashkenazim do >> they lean That's what I thought. We think we lean it, but we lean it for the not for the not for the safety. So now when you look in Yeah, there's a lot of things we're going to learn things we don't know cuz look at over here says ISIS this. So, so here he's bringing this thing that it's on a on an angle or it's like a half a like like in the picture half of it is laying down and half of it is standing up. According to it's completely laying according to Rashi it's standing. says we do this every day. So that when it's on the beimma standing up and then suddenly he's laying down. Now holds that this idea of laying and standing. Why does say lay down? Because think about it the in the was laying down was in the it wasn't like this. It was laying down. So it seems like something another interesting thing you ever noticed our beimas go like this now you think it goes like that because it's easier for to read it goes like this to do the of the muza the same idea because the says it should lay down and Raji says stand up so the toyra the tora talking about it stands up they read like this and lay down so there's some sort And they say that wanted to make a schul where he had a beam of those flat. You know in Corona we all did it on our plastic tables. We didn't that it's even an issue to go like this. Oh the sh is just convenient like myender over here has a little bit of this. It's better to no this is what they're saying. So the bells in belish they they decided to do something special for the river and they they built their beimma with less of an angle almost no angle like a flat thing to the call. So what do we learn again but still we have a problem that rebs have it I've seen it a bunch of times that the rav has a special entrance he doesn't have to go through everybody and also people don't have to stand up you know he just walks in and goes oh What do we do with Raun? He did have on it. This you're not going to like so much. [clears throat] There are other people need to sneak in through that door. It requires a but that he was the only one using it. It doesn't require muzza. That's what the gumar says. Yeah, I don't know that we passing like that. But comes out two major kdush. Number one is that on a bmed medish you need a muza. What's in that? We're talking about a medish rebi ra. It's just because he was not so rebi didn't put one. It's not so many people. Another tremendous not everybody uses the door. You don't need a big that's why I brought this. Well, I don't need to really bring it. You you take the door post and you divide it in thirds. This line over here is a third. And then you put the right above the line above it. Look at this. Very high door. You should put it by your shoulder. Shashalu our sha says that regardless of the size of your door so that he had the he had the in the right place we have three sheet is over here third top that's basically what we do we put it over here by this line now he's saying you could go do it anywhere in the door Just make sure it's not by the top and not in the bottom. Don't go by don't put it by the ceiling. Don't put it by the floor. Anywhere in between is okay. So that's another says you can put it on the whole entire door post provided it's not very close to the ceiling or the floor. There's a there's a heish tying your and writing a so just like you have they're on the top top part of your head of your body. So two, the muza should be all the way on the top of the door right over here as close to the ceiling as possible. Rauna who says that you you can do it in the entire doorway. Says the entire doorway says you should do it on the upper third of the door like we do. Where did he get it from? Ribio says put it all the way by the ceiling says the entire doorway. So where did come up with the third he goes what that you should put it by the by the ceiling and what did he mean it meaning that there's a there's a maximum that you could go down not not He says, "Put it over here." He say, "Okay, if you don't put it over here, but you have up to here." That's it. This is the max. This is the line. It's not like this is where you begin. This is where you begin. You go down. If you can't reach up all the way to the ceilings, you put it over here. But more than this is the this is the max that you could go down. Saw that before. It should be close to the What's the reason? When you come home, first thing you bump into is you want to have protection. Protection is the you put the the guard as far out close to the as far away from your house as possible. This is a very familiar. You're all going to have to know where it's from. Acts differently than humans. The king like whatever is in a bunker right now, right? With hundreds of those guys watching him acts differently is like a himself watching us from the outside of the door. Must be a good song here. We had this with the Zara where they were try became a G and the king sent to bring him back and everybody that came to get him became a G and he said I don't remember which one it was but at one point he said don't talk to him you're not allowed to talk to him this don't don't get into conversation with him because he's dangerous and then he said you know why we have this muza why because Hashem watches us we're not he's not like a regular king and this is the check this out it's beautiful the art is just ah out of this world the the muza is deep into the wall one let me say perhaps I can bring a riot from this following uh statement going to say it's not a what's a you put the muza into the beam that's around the door you put the muz and then on top of the muza you smack you can do that here in put your muza in and then they come with those thick uh you know ebush like this thick and they they put a nice limestone or whatever it is, a mantle, whatever it's called inside the Is that okay? It's not okay. Why? Because now your is covered by a thickness. It depends how thick the the rack the stone is. So if if you put a a stone on top of your the thickness of a of a you need another on top. If it's not, you don't need one. upon him. It's a great if it's a inside the wall, it's not good. Says the door that's behind the opening that's behind the door. So look at Rashi. I just want to do Rashi with you for 10 seconds because I think your head will start spinning and then I'm going to show you a picture. is on the corner of the house. If that's what means just to understand that word, there's a there's a a stationary beam and there's two doors cut out. One to the south and one to the west. Now, you know that me and south and west don't get along so well. I landed on the wrong runway one time. I have no idea what's going on there. Okay. and he put the muza inside the opening of the south. Okay. Anyways, I just show you the picture in Israel. Here we go. The door is there's a two doors on the corner. Is that considered one doorway or two doorways? Very simple. If that beam that's directly in the center on the corner corner is wider than a then it requires two muzas. If it's narrower than a tab, then it's one opening and one opening requires one area. He did a thing like here. It's very thick. Now you need two muzas thin one. Actually the article has a picture like this. How could that be in that itself? It brings this case. I would not understand that from these words opening that's behind the door. There's other pictures around. It's not two separate. It's one the end part is explaining the beginning. Let's say you have this. You go to the You go to Home Depot and they have a a door frame made out of out of bamboo. You cut into it into the bamboo and you you insert the into the bamboo. That's the video that we saw because we have a problem of what if I took the took it off. It's ready made. It's perfect with all the knots. I go I snip my tits. Snip put it on and then just ask my wife to sew the edge and now I have a perfect titus. I don't have to do the whole thing. No good. Why? >> If I if I already have built in because I have a pile of hay. So the is there I just don't have where to live and I take a shovel and I cut out a whole s underneath. No good. Cuz I I need to first build the walls then put the I can't have and then build the walls. So here also I cannot put the muza into a door in Home Depot and then hang my door in my house. It's but if you cut it out in the lumber yard and then you put brought it home that's no good. If you have like really bad openings that's a bad opening like um let's say I broke the wall open so I don't have a nice doorway. Huh? >> Oh, you ever heard these names? No. Because they say that these are not even they came in a later generation. Very rare. Would mean this part of the frame and means this part of the frame. You don't have that. You don't have to put They used to have this like a pergola business going between, you know, these these are doorways from houses coming into the to the yard. They had a covering. If you notice over here, it doesn't have a pass. It doesn't have a frame on the you have the walls of the building, but you don't have a you don't have a frame over there. You don't have the sidepost. What if it has side post? So, take a look. Boom. Side post again. Without with you tell me that this is not a it's not a doorway. It's just to hold that pergola up in there. Even if it has those side post, why if it's made, if it's a beam that holds up a ceiling, that's not a doorway. believe I saw this side like this and he held that you don't have to put a muza. Why? because it's just there to strengthen to to to help the the ceiling mash bash is like a guards like in South Africa you have a little guard booth we saw the right is in a porch how come you telling me how can you tell me that when it says says here we So means there's a little like this is my like in America you have this everywhere like a front porch and it has walls on the bottom. There are more than 10. So we have to consider that area a room even why not because oh look the walls go whatever everything it's it's not a regular room. No it's the other type. It's like this. I would take out the glass cuz glass probably is a wall. It means that the walls are very low to the floor and there it's all windows open like a like a sun room without without the glass minus the glass. So it's not a real room. Doesn't have real it doesn't have walls. It has more ear than walls. So that's that that's what's potter. >> Oh yeah. Sorry. even though it's very open and you think that it's not a room. That's this thing that I showed you. It has an opening to the houses and opening to the yard. That that little um thing in the this thing in the middle. It's a small little uh how do you say it in English? No, >> like a like a a watcher tower. A watch guard. A guard booth. >> A guard booth because it it goes to both sides. Should we stop over here? Yes. Have a wonderful day. [music] >> Merit the of spreading Torah throughout the world. Sponsor Ashir today. mdysonsor.com or sponsor at mdyop.com.
