Menachos 51

MENACHOS 51- This Daf has been dedicated by Mr. Avi Reichman of Queens NY, in honor of the birth of his granddaughter Michal to Karen and Jonathan Shmerling in Kochav ha'Shachar, and his grandson Moshe to Rabbi Pinchas and Lisa Lebovic in Neveh Yakov.

1) [line 1] K'MINCHAS TEMIDIN - like the Minchas Nesachim that are offered in conjunction with the Korban Tamid of Shabbos; just as the Korbanos are Docheh Shabbos, so, too, are the Nesachim

2) [line 3] IFSIL LEI B'LINAH (PESULEI KORBAN: LINAH)
Linah is the term used when any parts of the Korbanos were not placed on the Mizbe'ach until the following morning. They become disqualified and may never be placed on the Mizbe'ach. Nosar, a type of Linah, defines parts of Korbanos that were not eaten during their allotted time (see Background to Menachos 46:18), that become disqualified and may never be eaten.

3) [line 5] HAREINI DAN - I will learn (lit. judge) [through the method of Binyan Av - see Background to Zevachim 90:11]

4) [line 7] SHELOSHES LUGIN L'ISARON - three Lugin (approximately equal to 0.9, 1.035 or 1.8 liters, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions) per Isaron (2.16, 2.49 or 4.32 liters)

5) [line 8] O KALECH L'DERECH ZU - or perhaps turn this way, i.e. argue the following (this word can be read two ways: (a) KALECH - turn away [from that argument] and go to [the following argument] (Kalech is a contraction of "Kaleh" - "stop," and "Lech" - "go to" -- RASHI to Chagigah 14a DH Kalech);
(b) According to the reading KELACH - go, you, to [the following argument] (Kelach is a contraction of "Lecha" - "go," and "Lach" - "you" -- RASHI to Shabbos 145b DH Kelach)

6a) [line 11] T(B)Sh"T - this is a mnemonic device that stands for the topics that are in common between Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nesachim, as follows:
1. *T* (the letter "Tav") refers to the fact that both Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nesachim are *T*edirin (or *T*emidin) - offered on a frequent, constant basis. The Minchas Chavitin is offered every morning and afternoon, and the Minchas Nesachim is offered constantly with the Korban Tamid, every morning and afternoon. The Minchas Nedavah is not constant, but depends upon the pledge of the person who decides to offer it.
2. (*B* (the letter "Beis") refers to the fact that both Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nesachim are *B*a'im Chovah - they are obligatory offerings, the Minchas Chavitin is the obligation of the Kohen Gadol and the Minchas Nesachim is the obligation of the community. The Minchas Nedavah is voluntary. The BIRKAS HA'ZEVACH removes this letter and these words from the Gemara.)
3. *Sh* (the letter "Shin") refers to the fact that both the Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nesachim are Dochah ("push aside") *Sh*abbos. Minchas Nedavah is not Dochah Shabbos.
4. *T* (the letter "Tes") refers to the fact that both the Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nesachim are Dochah ("push aside") Tum'ah. Minchas Nedavah is not Dochah Tum'ah.

b) [line 11] TADIR - frequent, constant
c) [line 12] (BA'AH CHOVAH) - (are obligatory)
d) [line 12] DOCHAH SHABBOS - "push aside" Shabbos
e) [line 12] DOCHAH TUM'AH - ("push aside") Tum'ah

7a) [line 14] YAG(I)"L - this is a mnemonic device that stands for the topics that are in common between Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nedavah, as follows:
1. *Y* (the letter "Yud") refers to the fact that both Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nedavah are Menachos of *Y*echidim - individuals. The Minchas Chavitin is the Minchah of the Kohen Gadol and the Minchas Nedavah is the Minchah of any individual who pledges a voluntary Minchah. The Minchas Nesachim, however, is the Minchah of the community.
2. *G* (the letter "Gimel") refers to the fact that both Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nedavah are Ba'in bi'*G*lal Atzman - they are offered by themselves, as opposed to the Minchas Nesachim, which is offered along with (and because of) a Korban.
3. (*Y* (the letter "Yud") refers to the fact that both the Minchas Chavitin and the Minchas Nedavah are offered without *Y*ayin - wine. The Minchas Nesachim is offered with wine. The SHITAH MEKUBETZES #5 removes this letter and this word from the Gemara.)
4. *L* (the letter "Lamed") refers to the fact that both the Minchas Chavitin and Minchas Nedavah are offered with *L*evonah. The Minchas Nesachim is not offered with Levonah.

b) [line 14] YACHID - individual, personal
c) [line 14] BIGLAL ATZMAH - by itself
d) [line 15] (YAYIN) - (wine)
e) [line 15] LEVONAH - frankincense or oliban, a gum resin from trees of present-day Arabia and India

8) [line 25] MINCHAH HA'BA'AH ISARON - a Minchah that consists of one Isaron of flour

9a) [line 28] AMRAT "'BA'SHEMEN' - L'HOSIF LAH SHEMEN" - the Beraisa states (line 4) that the word "ba'Shemen" teaches that the Minchas Chavitin needs extra oil
b) [line 29] V'HADAR TANI "NE'EMAR KAN 'SHEMEN' V'NE'EMAR B'MINCHAS NEDAVAH 'SHEMEN'" - and afterwards the Beraisa states (line 9) that there is a possibility of learning Minchas Chavitin from Minchas Nedavah, which does not have extra oil

10) [line 32] UV'DINA - and [the part of the Gemara that seemed to be part of the same Beraisa (line 9), in which the possibility of using] the method of Binyan Av [was employed]

11) [line 36] LIKVO'A - to require [that the Minchah be brought with at least one Log of olive oil]

12) [line 40] TEHEVEI NAMI - let it indeed [be teaching that oil is required]
13) [line 47] YESH LI B'DIN - I can learn it through a Binyan Av (as above)
14) [line 47] V'DAN DINA LO ASYA LEI - and we attempt to learn the Binyan Av, but it does not come through

51b---------------------------------------51b

15) [line 4] YORSHIN - heirs [of the Kohen Gadol, (a) i.e. his sons who received a share of his estate (RASHASH); or (b) specifically, his son who is worthy of being appointed in his stead -- SEFAS EMES, CHAZON ISH 34:3]

16) [line 4] SHELEIMAH HAYESAH KEREIVAH - it was offered completely, i.e. one Isaron in the morning and one Isaron in the afternoon (RASHI)

17) [line 7] "VEHA'KOHEN HA'MASHI'ACH TACHTAV MI'BANAV YA'ASEH OSAH" - "And the Kohen who is anointed in his stead, from his sons, shall offer it" (Vayikra 6:15)

18) [line 10] MI'SHEL OLAM - from the community (lit. the world)
19) [line 27] CHUKAH L'OLAM TEHEI - this statute shall be forever, i.e. this Minchah is meant to be offered in all generations, and not just for the days of the Milu'in

20a) [line 29] ELYONAH - (lit. the upper one) the Minchas Chavitin, which is mentioned first (above -- Vayikra 6:15)
b) [line 29] TACHTONAH - (lit. the lower one) the Minchas Nedavah of a Kohen, which is mentioned second (below -- Vayikra 6:16)

21) [line 45] D'ORAISA MID'TZIBUR - [the obligation] from the Torah was for the community [to provide the funds for it, from the Terumas ha'Lishkah -- see Background to Menachos 46:28a]

22) [line 45] MIDCHAKA LISHKA - the funds of the Terumas ha'Lishkah were depleted (lit. the Lishkah was hard-pressed)
