1) [line 1] VESES
(a) A woman's Veses is the fixed monthly cycle when she usually menstruates.
Every time a woman gets her period, she must consider that she may get her
next period on the same date in the next month. On that day she is prohibited
to her husband, whether she saw blood one or two times on that calendar date
(Veses she'Eino Kavu'a) or three times in a row (Veses Kavu'a).
(b) The Gemara (Nidah 63 and elsewhere, see Chart there) lists various types
of Vestos:
1. VESES HA'GUF - Bleeding that occurs along with sneezing, body-aches, etc.
(Mishnah Nidah 63a)
2. VESES B'ONES (Circumstantial Veses), when the Ones does not directly cause
the onset of the Veses (see TOSFOS to Nidah 63b DH Achlah) - Bleeding that
occurs after eating garlic, onions or peppercorns (Gemara Nidah 63b)
3. VESES B'ONES, when the Ones directly causes the onset of the Veses (ibid.)
- Bleeding that occurs after jumping or other physical activities (Nidah
11a). (The Halachic ruling is that such a Veses must be coupled with another
factor, such as the day of the week or month on which the Veses occurred, in
order to establish a Veses (YD 189:17).
4. VESES HAFLAGAH (Intervals) - e.g. seeing blood on 1st of Nisan, 20th of
Nisan, 9th of Iyar and 28th of Iyar. Each of the three intervals is 20 days.
(Note that blood must be seen *4* times to create this Veses.) (A Veses
Haflagah occurs after a certain interval of *days*. However according to the
understanding of at least one Acharon (Chidushei Hafla'ah beg. of YD 189),
such a Veses can be established based on an interval of a set number of
*hours* as well, such as a woman who sees blood every 600 hours.)
5. VESES HA'CHODESH (Calendar date) - e.g. seeing blood on 1st of Nisan, 1st
of Iyar and 1st of Sivan (Note that the intervals are not similar.)
6. VESES OF THE DAYS OF THE WEEK - e.g. seeing blood on Sunday, three weeks
later on Sunday and three weeks later on Sunday. The day of the week fixes
the Veses and therefore three times suffice to create a Veses (RAMBAN 64a
citing TOSFOS).
(c) Each of the above Vestos can be expressed in a number of ways (a "sub-
Veses"):
1. L'DILUGIN (Incremental) - Where the Haflagah, calendar date or day of the
week *increases incrementally*, e.g. Haflagos of 11, 12 and 13 days.
2. L'SEIRUGIN (Alternating) - Where the Veses occurs every *other* time, e.g.
every second Rosh Chodesh
3. L'SHA'AH KEVU'AH - Where the Veses occurs at a certain *time of day*, e.g.
eating garlic at sunrise (BEIS YOSEF, beg. of YD 189, citing the RA'AVAD in
BA'ALEI HA'NEFESH)
4. TZIRUF (Combination) - A Veses that is established by a *combination* of
two factors (such as was described above, b3.
(d) There are two differences between a Veses Kavu'a and a Veses she'Eino
Kavu'a:
1. When a woman has a Veses Kavu'a, she is not Metamei me'Es l'Es (i.e. she
does not become Temei'ah *retroactively* for 24 hours), whereas if she has a
Veses she'Eino Kavu'a, some Tana'im rule that she is Temei'ah retroactively
me'Es l'Es.
2. According to the opinion that "Vestos are mid'Oraisa" (Nidah 16a), when a
woman has a Veses Kavu'a and she did not do an internal examination on that
date, but rather afterwards, even if she found no blood, she is nevertheless
Temei'ah.
2) [line 3] SHOR HA'MU'AD
(a) An ox that gores one or two times is referred to as a Tam. The owner only
pays half the value of the damages that his ox causes through goring, with a
maximum of the full value of the ox that gored. If the ox gored three times
and the owner was informed and warned to guard his ox each time, the ox is
termed a Mu'ad. If the ox damages from then on, the owner has to pay the full
value of the damages that his ox causes through goring. He is held more
liable since it is now evident that the ox's nature has changed to that of a
harmful and injurious animal, and its owner therefore knows that he must
watch it well.
(b) Another Halachah that applies only to Shor ha'Mu'ad (and not to Shor
ha'Tam) involves an ox (or other animal) that kills a person. If the ox is a
Mu'ad, the owner of the ox that killed is Chayav Misah b'Yedei Shamayim. He
can *redeem* himself by paying Kofer to the children or heirs of the dead
man, as the verse states, "v'Im Kofer Yushas Alav, v'Nasan Pidyon Nafsho."
(Shemos 21:30). The amount paid as Kofer is defined as either the owner's
value, or the dead man's value, according to the various opinions of the
Tana'im (Makos 2b). If the ox kills a slave, the Kofer is 30 Sela'im and it
is paid to the slave's owner.

14) [line 22] "AL TOCHACH LETZ PEN YISNA'EKA; HOCHACH L'CHACHAM

and he will love you." (Mishlei 9:8)
15) [line 25] L'SHANOS - to relate things in a different manner other than
