BEITZAH 2 and 3 - have been dedicated by Mrs. Rita Grunberger of Queens,
N.Y., in loving memory of her late husband, Yitzchok Yakov ben Eliyahu
Grunberger. Mr Grunberger helped many people quietly in an unassuming manner
and is sorely missed by all who knew him. Yahrzeit: 10 Sivan.

14) [line 14] KO'ACH D'HETEIRA ADIF (The lenient ruling has [the potential
to teach] more)
If a person rules stringently, we cannot know his true opinion on the
matter. He may either have decided that the stringent ruling is correct, or
else he may be in doubt, since a person who is in doubt must take a
stringent stance in any case. We therefore stand to learn more from the
Torah sage who rules leniently, since we learn from him his true view in the
matter at hand. He must be convinced that his lenient ruling is the true
Halachah or else he would not have passed a lenient ruling.
15) [line 20] HACHANAH
(a) According to Rabah, the Torah decreed that all Shabbos and Yom Tov foods
require preparation on a weekday, because of the special significance the
Torah affords to what is eaten on Shabbos and Yom Tov. Therefore, a food
that comes into existence on Shabbos or Yom Tov may not be eaten on that
day. For example, an egg that is laid on a Shabbos that immediately precedes
Yom Tov may not be eaten on Yom Tov (and similarly an egg that is laid on a
Yom Tov that immediately precedes Shabbos may not be eaten on Shabbos),
since it was not fit to be eaten on a *weekday* (RASHI, see also Background
to Eruvin 38:4c).
(b) Food that is already *in existence* on a weekday but only becomes edible
after Shabbos or Yom Tov begin (e.g. uncooked food that is cooked on Yom
Tov) is not prohibited due to Hachanah. The decree of Hachanah only
prohibits food that comes *into existence* on Shabbos (TOSFOS Beitzah 38a DH
Mishum).

Yom Tov (that falls after Shabbos)
19) [line 34] PEIROS HA'NOSHRIN - fruits that fall off a tree on Yom Tov
