CHAZARAH - Zevachim Daf 19 | "Nothing but the Daf" with R' Eli Stefansky

Good morning. We're holding two lines from the bottom. It says in the you shouldn't close the belt on. What's yours? Do not How do you say close your belt in in English? >> Buckle up. Don't buckle up >> in a place that you sweat. So there there are a couple of places. Check this out. Right over there by the loins. Could be a little bit of a problem if you have a little boy >> because the uh the extra buser the matzive we'll call it >> it it uh because it folds over there it causes uh some sweat to go on and you don't want the uh the the aate you don't want the belt to to sweat. Another thing malo matim here we go you know those those guys that wear their pants really or their trousers really high up so they used to have it in time of also you shouldn't put the belt up there why because your arm goes against it and that heat causes a person to sweat extra sweat on the belt. So, where do you wear the belt? Right by the elbow. The bottom of the elbow. You put your hand down. That's that's where it should be. I love this story. Was the gulos. He was the head of Mal. He went to visit the king of Persia, whatever his name is. and my my belt was above where it was supposed to be. It was higher up. [Music] So he comes over to me, the king, and he yanks it down. He pulls it down. He rearranges my clothing and he says, "This is things that I I always thought it was logic." In other words, to to be presentable. We're representing so you represent yourself. Doesn't mean you have to wear Gucci, whatever it is, but clean clothing, not torn, not dirty. The Gmorra always talks about big what it means exactly. But according to the simple of you don't you shouldn't have a stain. He has a stain. You represent. You don't go around with dirty clothing, dirty hats. The guy the king tells him about you. You the you're the kingdom of you're a nation of holiness. Yeah. You got to you got to represent. You got to look mensh. So I went to and I told him says I went to I told him the story. The king readjusted my belt. He says it's not awesome. is here. You have a got a little boo boo on his finger. It's bleeding a little bit. What do you do? You put a band-aid on some sort of grass in the mdash where perform there's no there's no there's no in the mdash. However, but outside of the mdash, you should not wrap the band-aid. Why? As the gar is going to say, because it heals. It's not a regular band-aid that you just put it on. It has some healing properties to it. The the grass has natural healing components to it. That's a problem. And if you're trying to squeeze out blood, now that's a so to squeeze the blood out even. Why? Because now it's now we're talking about something that's really bad. What you're talking about here is to put some reed around wrap wrap your finger with some grass a little belt. So we're going to be discussing this for a few lines over here. Anytime you add another garment, that's the problem that we said yesterday. There's a problem of of too few garments and too many garments. If a client has to wear eight garments and he wears four, no good. If he wears he's supposed to wear four and he puts on eight, no good. If he's supposed to put on four and he puts on five, no good. By putting on this little belt, doesn't matter. He puts a nice little belt around his finger, tiny little belt, a Gucci belt. That's five instead of four. No good. comes with a massive which is going to argue on says adding extra clothing is a problem where you're wearing your clothing. If you have a shirt that you as a have to wear and you wear undershirt that's a problem but on your finger what's the problem? You don't have any clothing on your finger so you put a belt. It's not a If it's not a place that you wear clothing for, it's not considered extra clothing. Ask the This is what was asking. How could you put a band-aid on your finger? How is the going to grab the cle when he does? when he does when he when he brings the the something is separating his skin from the actual vessel that he's holding and that's called and that's it says no it's not a brown why he got his little boo boo on his left hand or even on his right hand he put the band-aid on a place that he's not going to touch the k he touches k with the the front of his hand not the back so he put Put it over here. That's not the proud of the Now this comes to argue on says in the name of his father-in-law that even one thread sometimes a hair a thread it's the same thing. The point is a very thin something if it's where your clothing are. If you're like you're wearing a shirt for as a kayen and there's one thread, one hair that's detached in between you your body and the clothing. If it's a place that the coin doesn't wear a bag, then it's three fingers by three fingers. So says no that to to have this extra clothing is only in a place where you wear where the wears the according to no anywhere but maybe they don't argue who talks about a little belt why even though it's a small belt but since it it has a certain importance to it it So that's considered extra clothing another over here is not going to argue with in this of that you put a band-aid on in the we're talking about a read but a small little belt that's considered extra clothing. But in a place that there's no then three by three. So now they're in agreement over here. You see the second here if on the left bottom you see if there's a 3x3 that's not in a place of according to the second it's according to the first it's okay says are they arguing on this of the small little belt since it's there for it's a beauty it's to beautify. So even a small little belt maybe everybody agrees that's problematic. You get me? Why are you telling me that this reed band-aid is not? He should say that even a small say a belt even something doesn't cause say tells us another that you should know that this type of read using it as a bandit on chabas is problematic because it has healing properties and that's also in chabas if it's not in the mdash but in the mdash we said it's not a problem it's only the raon and they weren't their abundance. Here we go. A bunch of interesting questions like seven, eight questions. Sometimes you walk in the street, your shirt is open or something, a nice wind comes in and blows up your shirt like a balloon. Now the problem is it says in that the clothing should be touching your skin. It's normal. Once in a while a wind comes in and blows it up. It comes it comes away from your skin. Another question we have to understand in those days little it's still an issue today in certain countries in certain areas but in those days it was very prevalent they didn't have the the what we have today to deal with it the the special combs and the >> it's not just the hygiene if even if you knew you had lice what are you going to do about it what are you going to do about it how you going to remove the the eggs what are they called the the knits. How you going to remove the knits? They didn't I don't even know if they were aware weird that there were nits, you know? They they thought it was like it just it just showed up. >> Spontaneous. Yeah, that from one gimmar it seems like that. But aim we have devices these these combs take it out. We have we have better hygiene. Maybe we have more water. We have the chemicals that kill it. It's it's we live in a different generation. What if the has a is that considered [Music] says if the the thing is dead? That's certainly it makes uh it makes interposes how does the arts call it cancer it the the clothing is not touching the the buser on that tiny little area. It's unbelievable. What about alive? It comes and goes. This is how it lives. It's normal for human beings to have certain things growing on their body. Whether they know about it, they don't know about it. They have different bacteria, different who knows what. Some are larger, some are smaller, some are microscopic, some are a little larger than microscopic. It's normal. This is life. So maybe it's not No, but no normal human being is okay with it. He doesn't want it there. So if he doesn't want it there, even though he it lives on him, it doesn't mean that it's not. So it's okay. Next question. What about dirt? A bunch of mud is what about the dust? The dust of the dirt. So the question is like this. If a person has like a little bit of it's hanging over here by his armpit, is that considered too far away from his skin? Maybe has to be skin tight. It has to literally be touching his skin. And I guess in those days they used to, you know, they made it nice and airy. It came off the the armpit. That's normal to to go large over there. Imagine I'm not wearing this shirt. This is covering my body. Take my hand and put it over here. Maybe to scratch the louse, whatever it is. Put it over here. Is my hand a between the clothing and my body? Does a body flesh on flesh? Does a body create to itself? What about one thread? Is that a says? Yeah. One thread for sure. So a thread is a So what's the question? What if one thread you hear? One thread came off the garment but got restuck in there. It's not part of the garment anymore but it's like kind of got got stuck in there. Is that considered? In other words, even if you say that a hand, putting your hand right over here is considered not a what about here? Maybe here is different than a baser. Here's not it's not to say it's not flesh of flesh, not skin on skin. It's a it's something that you're you're supposed to cut once in a while. It's not really part of your skin. So maybe that is a sorry maybe pace is different some people don't cut their face at all ever love this over here according to that you can't wearin at night like we basically passing it's not a question why since at night it's considered why is So, we're jumping now from something else. At night, it's it's not something that you if you love it, it's part of your body. No, it's not part of your body. So, it's it's an extra bag. What's going on here? Since at night, you're not allowed to wear it. It's so too in the day. But in the day, you're allowed to wear it. So, what's the problem? So, Rashi says over here, It comes out. It's interesting. Says if you'd say at night it's to wear but in day you're allowed to wear that comes out the night time is more severe than daytime. And we know it's not true. Okay, that's one thing. But if you hold that nighttime is a time to wear my what's the go since it itself is a mitzvah. So maybe it is it does cause I don't know it itself is a could it cause this thing came to we have we have that says fill in should not wear while performing the performing and a ley dening on the dan on the on the on the >> on the stage and the is standing there watching the carbon they don't have to say they don't have to damage and they don't have to wear fillin why don't they have to wear fillin look what says over in purple he says in parenthesis it's hard to while you uh have to do their you have to watch the so says just say but if you want to put it on it's not a problem no it's a problem the wording is wrong it shouldn't say you don't have to it should say it's also for you to put on why it's says you're right [Music] it's not awesome for him to put it He doesn't have to put it on. He's just says, "You're right. The the the good lion for should have been, but he uses the other because it it fits in with all three. If you do wear the fill in, it doesn't cause a real. So over here, now we're switching a little bit from extra clothing. The fill is extra clothing or is extra clothing. all these extra clothing. We said doesn't really mean really it means extra clothing over here. Now we're going back to for real. No, when you wear it's a real because you have to, you know, like people put on their jacket over the fillain. That would be a between the jacket and your skin because it's filling in between. But if you're wearing on your head, that's not we're not talking about extra clothing here. We're talking about a real what's the problem. It has to be touching your skin, the clothing. And if you have it's not touching your skin, but also for the it says he should wear the you have to wear this whole turban thing. How do you wear a turban and so this is the was a little it was two finger breaths wide. It said the on top of the whole thing but also he's wore a turban but there was a room there for here stuck out and choke whatever you want to call it came out so so over there that's where we put on the put it says by by a woman who gives birth she has to bring a carbon. She has to bring you the birds carbon the whole thing. And it says that after she brings the carbon, she becomes meaning that means she was a moment before that. Even if she went to the mikvah and she's a but she's she's missing the carbon, she's still considered to completely a person doesn't rinse his hands and feet. Let me show you what it looks like. So this this this is later it says that he puts his palms on top of his feet. It says here it says the word. So we have just like over there we already learned if you don't have one of the it's wash your hands. If you don't wash your hands and your feet, it went like this would would go into the mikvah five times. >> In between wearing the big z and the big every time he had to change a change of clothing, he had to go to the mikvah. But before he went to the mikvah, he would wash his hands and his feet before and after. >> He So that was 10 times. Five times in the mikvah. And every time we went to mikvah once before we go to the k wash his hands and feet go to mikvah once after wash hands and feet we see we'll see later on exactly how 10 times k five times mikvah a lot of work what if he misses one holding like eight lines from the top and if he didn't do it the first time of the day no good that's every day if a guy comes comes to the should without going to the mikvah Apostle ask him a bomb question. It's a dice to go to the five times just like we just said a second ago. It says means it's you have to do it by going to the five times. It also says why do you tell me that if he misses one in the middle of it's not the end of the world. It is the end of the world since it says in the check this out which is a double. So I learned from the two times that it's you must go to you must wear clothing that's what you have to do but is not I'm not going to argue because I don't know was very excited from this answer. If you look right over here behind me, you see all these lines in the wood here. This right over here, there's a lot of lines. So, if somebody wrote above, just took a pencil and went like this. You wouldn't you wouldn't notice it cuz there's a lot of lines in the wood. So, in other words, is telling him, "I was messing with you. I wanted to see if you would fall for it. You fell for it." Not a good answer. Why? If the Tory is telling us that only is but mikvah is never. So then the first mikvah of the day is also not. But we just established the first mikvah of the day is is very very important. If you don't do it, it's possible you have that's special. That first of the day it says in the it's a you and your children. What does that mean? Something that all have to do. Not just the which is the first mikvah of the day that is very necessary. If you don't do it then the is something has nothing to do with the with his children meaning number two three five that's not so he learns it from what learns it from we have to just remember that for a second and now we have another you should wash your hands from the something that's important for the sons is important for the god. Same kind of thing. What do have to worry about the first one of the day? How comean didn't say over the that's a that's telling you that all generations have to worry about the mikvah the first time and how come didn't learn from that's teaching us another I was a caterer so I I was very into this this is the best picture I was able to find you know when you do these It's in a non-Jewish hall, so you don't have the the sinks. So, they put a bunch of water in these urns, you know, and and you you're always that guy that doesn't have that, you know, you have to tip it into the cup. That doesn't work. Anytime you have to tip the the k you cannot wash from something like that. Why? You have to have enough water for four people. One is two. The bonav is plural is to rais have a wonderful day.
