***************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 112a [line 19]:
The words "Bein Beli'ei *Shemeinei* Azilna"
should be "Bein Beli'ei *u'Shemeinei* Azilna"
This is the Girsa of the Oxford manuscript (Dikdukei Sofrim #6).
It is also the Girsa of Rashi and Rashbam.

[2] Gemara 112a [line 26]:
"Berirei etc. *Tzachina Maya* b'Kasei Chivrei"
The Girsa of the Aruch is
"Berirei etc. *b'Kasei Chivrei Shechichei*,
without the words "Tzachina Maya."

[3] Rashbam 112a DH Leima Lei Tzachina Maya:
The words "Kosos Shel *Cheres*"
should be "Kosos Shel *Mayim*"
This is the Girsa in the manuscript of the Rashbam Dikdukei Sofrim #40)

[4] Gemara 112b [line 1]:
"Mitzvah v'Guf Gadol, Ochel Peiros *v'Lo* Sechar"
The word "v'Lo" should be written with a "Vav" and not with an "Aleph"
This is the correct Girsa, and is found in the Pesachim-Yuma-Chagigah
manuscript and in the Oxford manuscript. This is also the Girsa in the first
edition of the Ein Ya'akov, in Rabeinu Chananel and in the manuscript of the
Rashbam (Dikdukei Sofrim #20).

[5] Gemara 112b [line 24]:
The words "Chamimei *d'Chamimei Meshadru* Ilavei"
should be "Chamimei *d'Shada* Ilavei"
This is the Girsa in several manuscripts and early printings (Dikdukei Sofrim #1).

[6] Gemara 112b [line 45]:
The words "she'Agras bas Machalas *Hi*"
should be "she'Agras bas Machalas *Yotze'ah*"
This is the Girsa of the manuscripts (Dikdukei Sofrim #80)

41) [line 35] UV'NIDAH D'ORAISA
(a) By Torah Law, a woman who has her period is a Nidah for seven days. It makes no difference whether she saw blood only one time or for the entire seven days. At the end of seven days, *after nightfall*, she immerses in a Mikvah to become Tehorah.
(b) Although a Nidah is permitted to her husband on the night of the eighth day, Rebbi Yishma'el b'Rebbi Yosi advised not to have relations on the night of a woman's immersion if she saw blood that day, lest she bleed during relations.

42) [line 36] ZIVAH
(a) The eleven days that follow the seven days of Nidah (see previous entry) are "days of Zivah." If a woman experiences bleeding during these days for one or two consecutive days, she becomes a Zavah Ketanah and is Teme'ah.
(b) If she does not experience bleeding the following night and day, she may immerse in a Mikvah to become Tehorah. She may even immerse on the morning immediately following the day on which she saw blood, but her Tum'ah and Taharah are contingent upon whether or not she sees blood afterwards on that day. She is called a Shomeres Yom k'Neged Yom, because she must *watch* the following day to see whether or not she sees blood.
(c) If a woman has a show of blood for three consecutive days during her 11 days of Zivah, she becomes a Zavah Gedolah. In order for her to become Tehorah, she must count seven "clean days" during which she verifies that she has no other show of blood. On the morning of the seventh clean day she immerses in a Mikvah. If she does not experience bleeding during the rest of the day she is Tehorah and no longer a Zavah. A Zavah Gedolah must bring a Korban Zavah to permit her to enter the Beis ha'Mikdash or to eat Kodshim. The Korban is two Torim (turtledoves) or two Benei Yonah (common doves), one offered as an Olah and one as a Chatas.

43) [line 39] NICHPEH - an epileptic
44) [line 45] SHE'AGRAS BAS MACHALAS (HI) [YOTZE'AH] - because the demoness Agras bas Machalas circulates [on those nights]

45) [line 49] B'MATUSA MINACH - I beg of you, I ask a favor of you
46) [line 51] NACHMANI - Abaye; (a) Rabah Bar Nachmani, who raised Abaye as an orphan, gave him this name in memory of his own father (RASHI Gitin 34b); (b) According to the Geonim, Abaye's real name was Nachmani, but Rabah Bar Nachmani, who was his uncle, called him Abaye so as not to utter his father's name, out of respect for his father (Abaye is a corrupted form of the Aramaic word for "my father") (ARUCH, Erech Abaye, also cited by Gilyon ha'Shas in Gitin ibid.)
