CHAZARAH - Menachos Daf 65 | "Nothing but the Daf" with R' Eli Stefansky

[music] >> Good morning raboisai. >> [cheering] >> Raboisai, good shabbos and good after day. We have some agadata, easier sugiyos. We're holding five lines from the bottom. It says the gemara hanu shlosh noshim, the three women they used to shol shkinnim, they went to came to beis hamikdash with birds. A kein is is a pair birds. Can and you bring birds for usually if a woman comes she's a yoledes or a zava or it could also be an adava. And chada amral lezivasi, she said straight out from my ziva she's a zava. Person woman sees dam at a certain time like it's after dam nida this is this is a other days 11 days of ziva she brought for ziva. Bachada amrali amosi. From my ocean. Chada amrali yinosi. The aina is also it's a period of time. Sav minach so the simple meaning is zivasi is a zava mamash she brought it for a ziva so we know that she would bring one bird as a chatas one bird as an oila. Liyamosi liyamosi mamash she was just describing the flow such a large flow like a like a ocean. Liyinosi liyinoso it has to do with ziva. The kula chada chatas chada oila one one bird is a chatas one bird is an oila. Amarlu Mordechai no. Shama bizoyif sikna. Maybe she's saying that she was she was saved from from blood la blood loss she was going to die. Hemorrhaging shama biyom sikna maybe she was drowning nothing to do with ziva she was drowning she was saved in other words she's bringing an adava she's not bringing a a chatas an oila she's bringing just an oila for for for an adava for as an adava as a thank you to Hashem. Shama be'eina sikna in the Yerushalmi it says bizoyif signal." Maybe she was attacked by by a zeyiv, by a by a by a wolf. Shema be'eino signal. Maybe she had a danger in her eye. The kul oilos nino. Says the Gemara, she made she made a she made a neder, basically. She said, "If I'm going to be saved by the ocean" She's drowning. She says, "Listen, if someone comes and saves me, I'm going to bring you I'm going to bring a carbon." Bodek v'ashkach. And they listened to Mordechai and they they checked it out. And they saw that that is right. Finally, this is not That's why it says, Psachya al akinin. So, if you look over here, there's a there's different shifores, like they were shaped in a in a shape of a shifores, like a pushke box. And two of them, one of them is called kinim and goiz oilos. They had different names. So, Psachya, who is Mordechai Hatzaddik, the Gemara says in a second, is in charge of the the the kinim. Why? Zei Mordechai l'havdil sh'mei Psachya, sh'Psachya d'vorim v'darshin. He knows how to decipher things and and and explain them. B'yedei avos shiv'im lashon. In other words, people come and they they they they they put money in the pushke. And they come in different, you know, the the Chinese come, the this one comes, the French, the the the Spanish. Nobody understands what they're saying. They they might It sounds like zeyivah, but really he means that it's a neder. So, you have to understand why why they put money in the pushke and what what to do with the money. Am I using the money for oilah or for chatah? What am I doing here? B'yedei avos shiv'im lashon. As Gemara quotes, "Nazmi Yadi b'shiv'im lashon." Why is he so special? In order to be in the Sanhedrin, even the 23, so I forget the 71, even the 23, you need to know 70 languages. Zei Mordechai l'havdil sh'mei Psachya, sh'Psachya d'vorim v'darshin b'yedei shiv'im lashon. As Gemara quotes, "Nazmi Yadi b'shiv'im lashon." What was the big glik? What was so special about Mordechai in the 70 languages? Everybody in the Sanhedrin knows 70 languages. Rebbi Akiva Berman knows six, seven languages. Don't tell Rabbi Yochanan. "Im yesh Sanhedrin shel ba'alei chochmah, But in order to be part of the Sanhedrin, you have to be about Hakha. You have to have Hakha. Bali Mara, you have to look distinguished. Bali Koma, Rashi says an interesting thing, if you're very tall, then people have fear of you. You know, you could be intimidating. They're not going to lie in front of you. >> [clears throat] >> Bali Zikna, they have to be elders. Bali Kishufim, so this is super interesting. Bali Kishufim means this guy is Khayiv Misa Sreifa. So, they come with molten lead and they pour that on his throat. What does this guy do? He says, "I don't care about molten lead." He goes, "Higi bigi, abracadabra." And he drinks the lead, nothing happens to him. So, you have to know how to how to kill him in other ways because the Halakha is that if you can't kill him in one way, if a guy is Khayiv Misa, let's say Skila, and he runs away, you can shoot him with a gun. So, the Gemara says Bali Kishufim, so you In other words, Hakham have to know Kishuf. This is that whole Sugya we learned once where Rebbi Akiva showed how to with Kishuf you make um uh cucumbers. The Islam, and you let her You have to know how to how to how to beat Kishuf with Kishuf. The Yoidim Shivim Lashon, so every single person in the Sanhedrin has to know 70 languages. Not only have to be tall and then Bali Hakha and Bali Kishuf, they have to also know 70 languages. Why? Shlayti a Sanhedrin she mas mipiya am ha Targum on. You don't want to hear it from a translator. Why not? What's the problem with hearing it from a translator? You can't trust the Targum. He's going to say you have to be exact, and sometimes it's it's a little So, also Khashuv about Mordechai. Elo da have a Bali Lashon of a Darsh. His is godless. And this to me this makes sense now. He would take you would understand different languages and put them together. So, Gag is Tsrifim, believe it or not, Gag is Tsrifim, a Tsrif, although it's in the Mishna, the word Tsrif, Tsrif is not in Hebrew. It's not Lashon Kodesh, it's in Aramaic. So, he's able to take the Gag and the Tsrif. He, Mordechai, let's say Tsrif is called a hut in in in Hebrew. So, a regular person would say gag hut. And now you have a city called gag hut, but there's no such thing. He's able to take the word gag, which is in Hebrew, and riff in in in Aramaic and put them together and say, "Oh, he meant these two languages together. That's the hakma." The same thing with ain soikher. Ain soikher soikher is a is an Aramaic word. So, it's ain means eye. Soikher is the hole of the lap. So, you say har maybe. Ain har. What's ain soikher? How do you have to use the word soikher? It's a different word it's a different language. That's the hakma over here. I have a sort of a high of the Mordecai bilshan. That's why he's called a bilshan in I think in Daniel. Nehemiah So, we all saw the video. So, we're kind of familiar with this, but it it comes from this Mishnah. What's the process of the omer? twice Best then shluchim of the best and go out before yom tov, they tie up a bunch of barley when it's still attached to the ground because you have to you have to do the tzirah on chol hamoed, the night of the first night of chol hamoed, the motzei yom tov. I think it's a it's a beautiful concept. And in D.Y. we're very particular in this and tzircha d'tzibbur. They did tzircha d'tzibbur not you're supposed to like roll the Torah you you know, if you have the chodesh whatever you do before the tzircha comes, not while they're there. Kol ha'arazim lishom miskanzim lishom. All the cities that were the little villages that were next to that place, they'd all get together. Why? K'dei she'yaniktar b'eisi golah. They want to make a whole matzah out of it. Again, because of the b'toseem that said that that you do this on a Sunday, not on the day not on motzei yom tov. And that's today's sugia really. Again, the Torah says mimochoras hashabbos and we learn mimochoras hashabbos means the day the the markets of Shabbos means the day the night right after Yom Tov the first night of Yom Tov. So we start today that when we when do we start serious we start on the first night of Chol Hamoed or in the America the second night of Yom Tov but in Israel right Motzei Yom Tov first night. The Beit Din they say like the they say Shabbos means literally the day always falls out on a Sunday. So you want to tell people no we didn't listen to the Beit Din we did it on a Monday we did it on a Tuesday we're doing it when the when the Kohanim understood the possuk. Kivan she once it's nightfall Omer lo hen ba shamesh. So the guy the one of the people cutting he tells the the audience did the sun go down? Omer hen the whole place is hen. Ba shamesh Omer hen. Each of the people there says ask the question they answer they answer three times per person Magel zu. In other words there's nine each question is nine times the Kohanim. Ba shamesh yes yes yes then Shimon says it. Ba shamesh yes yes. Magel zu is this the the sickle Omer hen. Magel zu Omer hen. Kupa zu this is the basket Omer hen. You make a hole it's a whole situation matzah situation everybody gets involved. Oh it's good. You get them involved in the Beit Din. Yeah yeah yeah you get them involved. You ask the question they all of them answers. It's It's not they're not just spectators they're all they're they're part of the participants. Kupa zu Omer hen. The Shabbos now if the the the first night of Chol Hamoed falls out on Shabbos Omer hen Shabbos. Zu Omer hen Shabbos Shabbos zu Omer hen. Eitz zu should I should I cut the wheat the barley Omer hen Eitz zu yes. Go ahead. The whole warning Eitz zu Omer hen Eitz zu. Shosh Omer hen called over and over each question gets three times the answer. Like Kol Nidre the Rosh says. Kol Nidre, do three times. Ve'yomeru Eloheinu Eloheinu Eloheinu, three times. Kol Hakol Hamli. Why? Why so many times? Mipnei Avnei Toisen, because of these Koifrim, she'lo im remetz oim im tziyon tov. You had you had two two talmidim Bais Toisen, and then and the the the Tzadok, whatever it says, they became dukim Bais Toisen. They decided that there's no Torah Shebaal Peh. You read the Torah the way as is. So maila, they said K'seder Hazohar is not on Motzei Yom Tov. It's on Sunday. So maila, the Bais Toisen, the Lo Yitzei Me'al Bais Toisen. Okay. Tanu Rabbanan, Ilu yimai d'lo l'sano bahein. There's something called Megillas Taanis. It's a whole sefer that tells you about all the Yom Tovim that Klal Yisrael has. Now, the only two Yom Tovim we have left from the entire sefer are Chanukah and Purim. But they had other ones. And now we're going to be discussing two out of the the the the whole Megillah. Tanu Rabbanan, Ilu yimai d'lo l'sano bahein. You shouldn't you shouldn't fast. U'miktzas d'lo l'misped bahein. Fasting is parsha, you don't do on a Yom Tov. But um a hesped hesped nunu Me'reish Chodesh Nissan ad Manya Bei. It took him to me though. Why is it such a Yom Tov? From Rosh Chodesh till the eighth day of Nissan ma Somebody kissed Mashiach within a few days. Shlosha Yemei Hagbala. The From Rosh Chodesh till till the eighth day, this is when we figured out the halacha in Talmud, we we beat the Tzadokim. We beat them. So because we beat them, it was so important to beat them, we made a Yom Tov out of it. And it's such a Yom Tov that you don't even d'lo l'misped. You don't even give a hesped. There's two madregos. No no hesped, meaning certainly you can't fast. You can't you can't do two things. You can't fast and you can't give a hesped. There's a a weaker kind of Yom Tov where you can't fast. You could give a hesped, but you can't fast. That's the next one. Now, Rosh Chodesh Nissan, sorry. U'metamyah bei, but from the 8th day of Nissan bat soif miyado, until the end of Yom Tov betoif of chaga deshavuaya, that's when we shlugged up the whole thing of Shavuos. That's our sugiyah. Now, the B'nei Tosafos said that Shavuos is always on a Sunday. Why? If you think about it, if you start counting the 49 days on a Sunday, it's it's always have falls out on a Sunday, the B'nei Tosafos say. You always start only on a Sunday. So, 49 days later means Shavuos is going to be on a Sunday. Shavuos is on the 50th day. It's always on a Sunday. So, we we we we we shlugged up Shavuos the leilei mispad. So, Rashi, if you look at Rashi, Rashi takes out the word leilei mispad, cuz that's a little heavy. He puts in the leilei simcha. He says, "No, it's not a it's not a We're not that strong. Over here, it's a taanis." Now, we have to understand, why in the first one when the when we beat them with the tamid, we said, "Oh, it's such a huge Yom Tov, you shouldn't fast and also no hesped." Over here, it's a little weaker. We beat them on Shavuos that let's not get carried away. You could give give a hesped, you shouldn't fast. So, says Rashi, "Aval mispad shari, you're allowed to do a taanis when we beat them for Shavuos." Our sugiyah have a simcha yesaira bishul atseres bishul tamid. It's not as happy. It's not It's not such a big win like the tamid. Why? Bishul atseres lo hayah shum raya l'divrei B'nei Tosafos. They came up with a with a dumb halacha that it should be on a Sunday and without any good proof. Aval tamid hayah simcha yesaira d'vrayim. Tamid we were much stronger. It was harder to beat them. So, because the harder it is, the harder the fight, the greater the simcha, and that's why there's no even no hesped. So, he takes again the leilei mispad, he takes it out, and he puts in the no no tightness. So what's going on to the more explain to me the Nissan money bay taking to me the little miss body. From which is in 8 days into Nissan. We fixed the stomach problem. So it's looking my memory you have to start maybe stomach. They were saying that an individual could bring a stomach. My daughter's why? They had a puzzle. I said hot say by boy can you in the individual does it have to have to individual can bring a stomach. The famous the empty white puzzle. Doing the every day. So they took the puzzle and then they they they They did something terrible with it. The individual could bring a stomach. My argument was so what was the answer? It's really shy teach me rule. No no no. It's it's a public thing. You could call him by me to miss a little score. You take the stomach from the money that we collect from poor him the the master shot. With money bay that's what I want to do you told some what I do the little miss body. And so what was the big simple from the 8th day of Nissan till the end of the year that show you about twice the money says this is the second now. That the said that we start spirit on a Sunday. Let me go argue with them. Let me debate them. Show it them. One of the one of my favorite words in college. Show it them. How do you know this? Like Rashi says they didn't have a good time. So nobody knew how to answer. One one old man said to him ball him out. Love He didn't have a puzzle. In other words he just had a logic and this logic you get you could slug up. Love you didn't. And he knows that Shavuot is only one day. All my said, you know, let's make it a double day. They used to miss I'm going to stay home. Says says Ben Zakai to this the Shota. How long does it take to walk from Egypt? But the mice in the Mars says it's 11 days. 11 days to walk. Now that whole summer days. If if you love the Jews so much. >> [laughter] >> It's not much funny. Instead of 11 days, 40 years. Took him 40 years to get there. Now listen, there's a married to Gracia here. What's going on? It's it's not much Ben Zakai said it's so silly. Says Rashi, "The when somebody tells you stupidity, you answer them like a shot also. You don't You don't start saying love this and like the most going to say now. You tell them I make still give out there whatever. What's the lotion over there? That's the lotion? Mom is like that. I make still give out there. A guy a guy tells you still some yeah I just still some. Oh my love Jews. No, I'll prove to you he doesn't love Jews. Oh my love you ready because I have to betray you no seriously. That's your answer. Oh my love you Shota. You are you're saying you don't have any right from the You stop me saying throwing by flowers. We have we have a tire. We have a whole system of how we learn things. The whole series now of seven eight just on today's day. Easy ones. They're very similar. His right Ben Zakai. comes we have a contradiction when it says it means start whenever you start in the middle of the week on a Wednesday. However, because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. So. Because of the second says what is a seven Because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. However, because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. Because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. Because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. Because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. Because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. Because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. Because of the second says what is a seven full week mean you start on a Sunday and on a Sunday. Because of the second You shall count. What does you mean? It's human beings that are counting. You take out these words showers means Sunday. Yeah, the whole sugar. Showers braces. Nobody counts a Sunday. You should have paid attention. That there's no argument in the world even in the Himalayas whatever in in China in in in in Morocco the seven days of the week which correlate to nothing. There's nothing in this world that what seven days? Sunday, Monday, what what is that? Nothing to do with the sun and the moon. Nothing to do with anything. The only thing it has to do with is maybe braces. That's it. And the whole world accepted it and the whole world says today is Sunday. It's a very interesting thing. Where did it start from? Why? So, you have to Shabbos Bereishis everybody knows how to count from Sunday. So, what is it this for all of us? Ah, this for all of us something that has to do with Beis Din. Beis Din decided when Rosh Chodesh is, when the first day of Yom Tov is, and immediately you're counting. Rebbe Shmuel bar Nosson Pshat How do we know we're right? The Kaddish you should count 29 days. There's a molad and then right the next day is Rosh Chodesh. So, you're counting, you're doing something, and then you have Rosh Chodesh. So, maybe it's like a binyan av. So, count days and then you have Shavuos. When it comes to Rosh Chodesh, you could tell from the day before the molad that tomorrow's going to be Rosh Chodesh. The Kaddish So, it comes you start counting right after Yom Tov. You know that it's coming. Here, tomorrow we're going to start counting. Why? Because today is Yom Tov. Not because it's a Sunday. But it always starts on a Sunday. How do you tell it from the day before? There's nothing special about it. We're going to learn from the Omer and the Shteil are very similar. Right? The Omer What's What's so similar? The Omer allows us to to eat from the new crop, the chodesh crop. The The Shteil is is the two breads that come on Shavuos, and that allows you to bring the minachos. So, they both allow you to to bring food. Just like by the two breads of Shavuos, it's right after Yom Tov. In other words, it's it's um right after seven weeks of counting all of a sudden you have the two breads. So, too, the Omer is right after you have a you start a sphere. Remember never let me alone. Remember me again. We have the and we have the my by the two breads bagel. No, this is the sorry. Let's go back. My bagel bagel. There's There's a the two comes right after No, it is after the sphere you start a after sphere. So too over here you have I've got a bagel bagel stop. No, I went back for a second. I've got a bagel you finish No, I just went back one line. You went back I'm just explaining again. You finish you start you finish the sphere over there over the you do you do the two breads. You finish you do bring the similar. Over here you do the similar similar. Again, we're going to compare the to the similar similar it's the day after the seventh week I've got a bagel similar similar. It's the day after very similar. >> [clears throat] >> means you shall count should I sphere very important. Hold on. I don't know if we I you saying that the is right here. That each but the point is that the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the sixth is the is that we have to we have to count. It's not it's not with the week. It's a sphere that we do. The explains that the doesn't have to count the over the 49 years. Ah. But what I have to do with the over here? How does it fit into the here? I will see that call me my home. Okay. They sphere over the over the over the So there we learn not like Maybe we should do it on after the Sunday. Now, listen to this. According to Tyson You start on a Wednesday you start on a Sunday. You always start on a Sunday. But what if what if Pesach started 3 days before Sunday? So now you're not counting Shavuot is going to come out 53 days before after the start of Pesach. It will start 54 days after Pesach. But it doesn't say like that. Maybe it should be Sunday. If you only falls out on a Friday, you have 51 If it starts on a Thursday, if you only starts on a Thursday If you only starts on a Monday So you have 55 days from the first night of Pesach till Shavuot. If it starts on a Sunday Okay, we'll stop over here. So the kids are can't be they start on a Sunday. Have a wonderful day. Merit the Zchus of spreading Torah throughout the world.
