Shabbos 65

***************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 65a [line 20]:
"*Shen Toseves* Shen Shel Zahav"
It appears from Rashi on the Mishnah (64b DH v'Chachamim) that he was not
Gores the words "Shen Toseves" here.

[2] Rashi 65a DH Shuchesa:
The word "*Lichluchis*" (spelled with two letters *Ches*)
should be "*Lichluchis*" (spelled with two letters *Chaf*)
(Rashi is referring to the "rust" of silver (tarnish, i.e. silver oxide)
which seems to correlate to the word for "dirt" as opposed to the word for "dampness.")

[3] Gemara 65b [line 8]:
"*Porefes Al ha'Even ... *"
It seems that this citation from the Mishnah should read "*u'Vilvad she'Lo
Sifrof l'Chatchilah b'Shabbos*"

[4] Rashi 65b DH Ela Peras:
The words "v'Ani Shama'ti bi'Vchoros *Metaharin*"
should be "v'Ani Shama'ti bi'Vchoros *Mitaharin*"

[5] Rashi 65b [last line]
The words "*she'Hu* Yoshev"
should be "*keshe'Hu* Yoshev"

[6] Tosfos 65b DH Shema [at the end]:
The words "Rabah mike'Shi'ur, veha'Hi"
should be "Rabah mike'Shi'ur *ha'Heter*, veha'Hi"

65b---------------------------------------65b

30) [line 1] PESULOS LA'KEHUNAH
(a) Kohanim are restricted from marrying certain women, as specified in Vayikra 21:7. They may not marry a Gerushah (a woman who was divorced,) a Zonah (a woman who had relations with non-Jews or with others who are forbidden to her,) or a Chalalah (a woman who was born from a marriage of a Kohen with a woman who was forbidden to him.)
(b) The Kohen Gadol, in addition to the women listed above, may not marry a widow, as it states in Vayikra 21:14. The Torah specifies (ibid. 21:13-14) that he should marry a virgin. Rav Huna adds that women ha'Mesolelos Zu b'Zu are also unfit to marry a Kohen Gadol.

31) [line 1] SAVAR, KI HEICHI D'LO LILFAN GUFA NUCHRA'AH - he forbade it so that they should not get accustomed to sleeping with another person (so that they should not desire to sleep with men)

32) [line 3] MITRA B'MA'ARAVA, SAHADA RABAH PERAS - the rise of the Euphrates is testimony that rain has fallen in the vicinity of Eretz Yisrael

33) [line 4] NOTFIN / ZOCHALIN
(a) Rainwater (Notfin) is Metaher (purifies) if it is collected in a cavity, or "b'Ashboren," a fact that is learned from Vayikra 11:36, where the verse states that a "Mikveh Mayim" (an accumulation of water) purifies. While the rainwater is flowing (down a slope, for example,) it cannot be Metaher.

(b) Spring water is Metaher both while it is flowing (Zochalin) as in a river, and when it is collected in a cavity.

(c) Avuha d'Shmuel felt that during the month of Nisan the rivers swell from an influx of rainwater and melting snow. The rivers may contain a majority of Notfin, making them invalid for Taharah while flowing. He therefore constructed Mikva'os in which to immerse.

34) [line 6] NAHARA MI'KIFEI MIVRICH - A river's own underground source (lit. its rock) is what causes its water level to periodically increase (and not an influx of rainwater)

35) [line 11] TA'ARIM - to use a deceptive act to accomplish something prohibited in a (seemingly) permissible way

36) [line 15] L'CHABUYEI - to extinguish the fire
37) [line 16] LA'AFUKEI - to take out the nut into Reshus ha'Rabim
