בענין שחיטה בראש המזבח

Just could I not mention before we go further, that in our mission we have two sheetas regarding how you treat rosh hamisbeach. There's really a third sheeta and this sheeta is mentioned in the Mechilta d'Rabbi Yishmael. It's in parshas Yisro, it's b'choidesh aleph hey or in some versions of the Mechilta bais. V'zoivachta olav Mechilta, olav means connected. O yeinei olav olav k'mashmoi. That didn't know such matzoh hamisbeach she'eino kosher l'kaparah kosher l'shchita. Matzoh tzafon this is a g'shmakte Mechilta you would have expected I've seen this in the Gemara. Matzoh tzafon which is not kosher l'kaparah. Yeah you can't do z'rikas in tzafon. Oh but you could do shchita. So rosh hamisbeach she'hu kosher l'kaparah dino she'yuchshar l'shchita. Then certainly certainly as it relates to rosh hamisbeach which is kosher even for z'rika v'shoi yish be'eiv to do shchita. So I'm skipping the next part of this long price. Talmud loymar v'asisa u'veisecha habasar v'hadam al mizbach Hashem Elokecha. Zoch the Mechilta habasar v'hadam b'rosh hamisbeach o but ein shchita b'rosh hamisbeach. So is it m'foresh in Mechilta that v'zoivachta olav olav means connected. Ato eemer olav connected. O yeinei olav olav k'mashmoi and it makes sense based on a on a kal v'chomer matzoh you can do shchita b'tzafon but you can't do z'rika. So you should be able to do shchita b'rosh hamisbeach. Says the braisa here. Avel l'maiseh it says v'asisa u'veisecha habasar v'hadam al mizbach Hashem Elokecha. The basar goes on the rosh hamisbeach and the dam goes on the rosh hamisbeach. But as it relates to the shchita the shchita is not something that you can do b'rosh hamisbeach. So this is a a new sheeta that says m'foresh you can't do shchita b'rosh hamisbeach. Not on the entire mizbeach not even only on the tzafon mizbeach. It's also interesting that where is this sheeta mentioned? It's mentioned on the pasuk v'zoivachta olav. It's coming to b'tzavarn the other sheetas. V'zoivachta olav sounds like olav mamish zoch the Mechilta no. Olav means connected. Ato eemer connected o yeinei olav olav mamish k'mashmoi. But either the Mechilta concludes and says Rabbi Yishmael eemer Rabbi Yishmael says af lishkoi b'rosh hamisbeach. No you could check b'rosh hamisbeach. V'kosuv M'shaya said Rabbi Yishmael she'ne'emar mizbach adama ta'aseh li v'zoivachta olav. This Rabbi Yishmael is the Rabbi Yishmael from our mishna. What else do you see from this Rabbi Yishmael? It's Rabbi Yishmael's ta'am. Right the Gemara was m'sufek why Rabbi Yishmael holds this sheeta. It's a m'foresh in Mechilta that kosuv M'shaya she'ne'emar mizbach adama ta'aseh li. So l'maskana we have how many sheetas? We have three sheetas. We have Rabbi Yishmael's sheeta in our mishna that shchita of kodshei kodashim is kosher on the entire mizbeach. We have the sheeta of Rabbi Yishmael Rabbi Yehuda that's only m'chetzya u'vetzafon and then we have the Mechilta d'Rabbi Yishmael who holds that olav means connected you're never allowed to shchita b'rosh hamisbeach. It's an interesting Rashi in Chumash on this pasuk v'zoivachta olav as u'veisecha v'shlomecha he quotes this Mechilta. That's where I found the Mechilta. It's a Rashi in Chumash. V'zoivachta olav zoch the Hilger Rashi etzloi. What does v'zoivachta olav mean? It means etzloi k'moi v'olav mateh M'nasheh. Mateh M'nasheh was on top of him or them? No what does it mean? It means etzloi. V'olav mateh M'nasheh v'zoivachta olav. O yeinei olav olav mamish zoch Rashi. Talmud loymar habasar v'hadam al mizbach Hashem Elokecha v'ein shchita b'rosh hamisbeach. So Rashi quotes the Mechilta Rashi does not quote the two opinions in the mishna. This kiyua is darkei Rashi. Where Rashi quoted more the Midrashim in Sefer Sh'mos it's the Mechilta and in Sefer Vayikra it's the Toras Kohanim and in Bamidbar Devarim it's the Sifron the Sifri and even even in Bereishis Rashi quotes more the Bereishis Rabbah and the Tanchuma and the Tanchuma Yashan most of them only quote m'foresh Gemaras m'foresh Bavlis. Kachi darkei Rashi but either way here Rashi quotes that first sheeta in the Mechilta not the Yish Omrim Rabbi Yishmael who is really the ikar sheeta here in Maseches Zevachim daf nun ches amud aleph. Take a look at the Targum. The Targum on the words v'zoivachta says u'sehei davach alav u'sehei davach alav. I saw in the sefer Parshagan said the Parshagan says that from the Targum at first glance it sounds like u'tehei dovach alav that it should be literally on top. But then again he says it's not much because maybe you could say he's just patching the word. So just like olav means connected so alav could also mean connected. But zoch the Targum Rashi had a a pasuk that supports his ta'am. What was the pasuk? V'olav mateh M'nasheh. Take a look at the Targum on the words v'olav mateh M'nasheh u'd'smichin alav shivtei M'nasheh. Over there the Targum goes out of its way to say u'd'smichin. So says the Parshagan it's clear that from the fact that by v'olav mateh M'nasheh the Targum said u'd'smichin. But when it comes to v'zoivachta olav here the Targum didn't say the word u'd'smichin. It simply says alav. Must be the Targum is patching the word olav mamish because the Targum is learning like Rabbi Yishmael Rabbi Yishmael Rabbi Yehuda in our mishna over here in Zevachim nun ches amud In other words Rashi is being m'foresh not only not like the mishna it's not only not like the Gemara not like the mishna in Zevachim nun ches amud Rashi is also being m'foresh not like the Targum.
