***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Gemara 48a [line 28]:
The words "Amar *Lei*, Ka Chazis d'Lo Mekabel Marus!"
should be "Amar *Lah*, Ka Chazis d'Lo Mekabel Marus!"
(RASHASH based on Ein Ya'akov)
(Alternatively, in the Beis Nasan manuscript the text reads, ""Amar *Lei*,
*Kal Kamah* Chazis *v'Lo* Mekabla *Alach*?")

11) [line 13] HARUGEI BEISAR
A large city in Eretz Yisrael that was destroyed by the Romans during the Jewish revolt (circa 122 C.E.). The blood of the men, women and children killed is said to have flowed into the Mediterranean Sea, which was a distance of one Mil away. The Gemara (Gitin 57a) records that the non-Jews in the neighboring towns did not need to fertilize their vineyards for seven years due to the quantity of blood that flowed into the ground.

At first, the Roman Government did not let the Jews bury the bodies. One emperor is said to have fenced in his vineyard with the dead bodies (Eichah Raba 2:4). After quite some time, the next emperor let the bodies be buried. It was seen as a sign of favor from HaSh-m that the Romans changed their minds, and that the bodies did not decompose before they were buried. The Chachamim established the Berachah of ha'Tov veha'Metiv to commemorate the miracles.
