CHAZARAH - Menachos Daf 38 | "Nothing but the Daf" with R' Eli Stefansky

[music] [screaming] says holding by the like 15 lines from the bottom 12 15 lines says in the Mishna that the fourus if you don't have all four then you can't wear titus it's one mitzvah says all four are four mitzvah at the end of the day you have to wear a bead that has four corners with four sites. So where is whether it's one mitzvah or four different mitzvah says a number of differences if a person has only three now we know we're going to be talking we're starting today so might as well show you the blue string in the titus is made out of wool has to be made out of wool the beed the sadden is made out of So what we have here is a problem of so if it's the mitzvah of great but what happened was you don't have all four you only have three out of the four so we have a problem of shatas according to you need four and you only have three so you're walking around with chhatnas you're going to have to take the beg it off according to that each one of the tits is a mitzvah atma it's its mitzvah. So if you're wearing three, you're also the mitzvah. It's not chas the wool that you have on your on your three tenses is part of the mitzvah. [clears throat] [snorts] That's number one. If a person has something like this, five corners. So according to you put on four according to each one is a mitzvah. So you would have to put on five there's a there's a if a person walks out in the let's say with three tites. So now the tites become a mass they become a burden. He's carrying tits. According to why? Because three is also good. So you're not anything according to three is nothing. So carrying three it's like carrying a bag of titus around. Nothing to do with your tit. And that that's also that's if a person thinks that himself that he's going to get away with getting rid of the fourth corner. It won't be he didn't do anything. He cut off the corner. He did something like this I guess. So by cutting the corner all he did is he added another corner. You ever see these guys walking around with fracks? The frack is really four corners. So what do they do? They if you take a notice you'll see the one of the back corners they they round it out. So is that okay? That's what the is discussing here. This guy he made a mistake. He didn't round it out. He cut it on a straight angle. Oh, so now he created five corners. Uh, no. What if he ties it up? He ties up the corner in a circle. Something like this. He circles it out a little bit. This is not so much circle, but it was in a circle. Because you tied it, the knot is nothing. We we just view it as if it's completely untied and it's a regular garment of four corners. If you have a jug, something like this, you try to make a jug out of a piece of leather by tying it, that's nothing. It's not a jug. It's not a cle isab, but a piece of leather is not mab. The way you try to create a jug was by tying it, that knot is not enough. You need to sew it. you need to do something serious if they're Arabs. That's the to use it like that. So that's the way it's a but you you're not an Arab. You don't tie up a piece of high to make it into a jug. Therefore, in other words, what we see from here is that by tying something that's not enough. That doesn't change the surah of the begot or the a person actually sews the corner of his garment and he makes it in a circle like they do on the frack. If he really didn't want that corner, he should have cut it out. Why did he sew it up? So the sewing doesn't do any much. So holds just going back to that holds that each is a he starts off saying that when we're talking about chhatas when we're talking about chabas five five corners whatever are you put on in all five corners you're not over in chabas you're not over in chabas but thear says but we don't pass like maha That love is not not like and you would need all four and you would be over in you would be over in chabas storylo it was on chabas right before y where there's a drussa and he was walking behindashi if he noticed that one of the situs popped out there's my situs Wonder if we have one. Oh no. Oh. Oh, here we go. This corner is missing completely. He noticed it popped out. He didn't mention a word to him. In other words, he was worried that he's going to have to take off his shirt in public. And this is you. Don't do that to him. When he got home, he said tells him you know I noticed three blocks earlier that's when became possible. If you would have told me over there I would have removed my garment. Now let's ask the question why why would he remove the garment? He has three titus. What's wrong with three tits? According to if you have a garment with four corners and you have three tits, you keep on wearing it. Each one is a mitzvah. Obviously we don't pass like we passing like that you don't you have to wear it you have to have four there's a concept of human dignity that if a person could be embarrassed or push off even we have to see what that means right away says it's not True. Not true. Not true. There's only one time that you're allowed to break when you're embarrassed. So don't get confused. The gar says we're talking about if you can't wear you're carrying you can't use all human dignity to cover. That's that only applies by some people say the story was the opposite when his [clears throat] sit is ripped in the middle of the street made a comment and said hey is ripped why you telling me this you want me to remove my shirt I don't have to remove my shirt wait a minute and this just going back We have a little khazar today and v also we're just doing over the but in reverse but but how could you not remove your shirt in the middle of the street this idea of human dignity of is only on >> it's only in says in this story this was uh uh area like a field which is not a rushim and the whole list is the to carry there was the raban. So once again raan relaxed their iser of of of mukt whatever it is of carrying sorry of carrying in a caramelis because of the busha that had with that. So we're starting and it says I just want to throw this in. We were talking the whole per that we just learned are things that are of one another things that are important like the we just said the four is very important. You can't walk around with three. And now we're going to talk about things that don't are not says the if you only have white strings, you wear the white strings like you guys and the and the white is not. So if you only have blue, put on the blue. We learned this. If you only have one one let's say you only have so we went through this let's see if the island remembers you only have you're on vacation you're on a plane so you only have what do you do you put it on how many brahas do you make if you're ashkar twoas usually you make one but now since you don't have the shad you have to make both I asked the Israelis they had no clue they weren't Yeah you did okay u sticking up with Israelis we'll go back to the video tape. Everything's video. By the way, just a real quickly the the it says over here, if you don't have blue, wear just white. If you don't have white, we're just blue. Over here, but you have to wear you have to do all strings blue, all strings white. Over here, you don't have to wear two pairs of you do one out of the two. It's a slightly different concept but it's nevertheless it's not says >> perhaps our doesn't go accord now we're talking about two two strings two types of strings blue and white so why does it say you should see it in singular it what's it so how do you learn the word it you should look you should see it says it means as a as the two of them are one unit. Look at it. So in other words, without the blue, don't do white. According to Rab, all of you guys who are not wearing blue, you shouldn't be wearing according to Rebi. Rebi, the author of the holds blue without blue, do not wear white. We obviously don't pass. Sorry. My time. What's it's it's extra. The word is extra. It says it already. What color were most of the garments in the time of time of the Tyra? White. They didn't have the the dye that we have today. So that means that the the strings should be white min should be from the same uh fabric, the same min as the beed. It also says blue singular. You should see the two types of strings, white and blue. You should see it meaning it should be like one. By the way, we're going to do this all over again. So it means each and every one a singular. The white is it, the blue is it. So they're not of one another. Our mission that says that is not it's not necessary it's not what do you call it >> essential our could go like what the Mishna says that one is not the other says the blue is mak the white the white you cannot do one without the other but what the says it's not is another type of al they supposed to put the white string into the hole first it's called put it Okay. All this white first, blue second. Why? Because white is more important. Like Ashley said, white is more going to say it a few times. Rashi brings it out to put the white before the blue. And if he made a mistake and he did blue first, it's okay. I have to do I've been putting into everybody's head that inch if it says it twice it's and what about if it's not in then one time is I don't think I was so clear about that and Ty says it over here asked name the Tyra says it once You don't need twice. So if I said it wrong the entire and in as well realizing now two so I apologize one is in the whole is a not a it's one is not enough you need the to repeat itself twice in order to make it essential says doesn't mean you missed out on the love What does it mean? It means that you missed out. You didn't put the strings in correctly. Only did white, not blue. What do we say according to that's no good at all? Like we said before, what does it mean that you didn't do? You didn't put the string. You didn't put the white in before the blue. Great. That's one way. But the mission says that one is not Mak this way. The white is not Mak of the blue and the blue is not Mak of the white. Well, you just said that the white is not of the blue. That if you put the blue in before the white, but how do you do the reverse? If you by mistake put into the hole the blue string is not. But what's the opposite case? This is a famous thing people say about it's but it really comes from blue jeans, blue everything. And he's supposed to put in the blue. In this case, you saw what he just did. He put the blue in before the white. Why? Because his beet is blue. Since his garment is blue, he's supposed to put the blue in before the white. What? So now you have the reverse. In a in a be in a white garment, you're supposed to put the white first and then the blue. But in a blue garment, you're supposed to put the blue and then the white. You're king. Okay. So now we're going to do the same over. Don't sit down. Stand on your feet until you could explain this to me. It goes both ways. One is not essential for the other. You could put white without the blue, blue without the white. What does it mean? If you have a white garment, the mitzvah is to put the white strings in first. Why? It should be the should be the same color as the beet and if you put in the blue first anything. And what's the reverse case? If the garment is blue, then you have to put the blue in first because now your garment is blue. So your scissor should be the same uh what's the word I'm looking for? The same fabric, the same color as the the garment the love of emberation. If you put in the white before the blue, I don't understand you. who where in the Torah says put white before blue. The Torah never said it it should match up to the garment means that if you go like that and now it's a gardum according to Rashi it's after all the knots after all the knots you have a little piece hanging out. Is this kosher or not? Well depends how how big it is. If it's very small that you can't make a a slip knot, then it's possible. So if so there's two there's two conditions here. First of all, you have to have all the other color strings in contact that they have to be whole. And the strings that you don't have that are ripped. Oh, so I don't want to forget this point. Very important point. It's referring to strings that were the right they were the right length. They were good. They were kosher and then they ripped. Because if you start off and where they're tiny, no good. It's only because they had the hexure before and they were t number two is that even the piece that's ripped, it's not just one string. Think about it. It's not one string because every string has a counterpart. It's four strings that make eight. And if one of the eight is ripped, its partner on the other side is is whole. And that's okay. So when it says that it's ripped, two strings ripped. I don't know how you know both. in the blue. It's easy. So now you only have two strings that are blue. So the only way if if it's ripped, if both blues are ripped, now you know that you got a real problem. And according to Rashi, the rip happens below the knots below the knot. According to Tyus, if there's some remaining over here, it's still kosher. The the rip is all the way on top over here. According to Okay. If this and the ripped but it's white if it's left over it's the that uh the that you sprinkle on a on a on a to it has a shear of a the shear of is 12 thumbs. You should be able to make a slip knot, which is basically Okay, I'm not going to do it now. You know how to do a slip knot, but you could uh not this way. Um, okay. You just pull it and it undo itself with one pull like a tie. Um, doesn't mean all the ripped ones have to be tied together. Each one is individual doesn't have an answer.
