Daf hayomi HOULIN page 137

To finish chapter 11. So we are still on wool. >> Yeah. >> On sheep.

>> Page 137, line. >> We haven't done the mast yet. >> So we understood that the Cohen, well, it's one of the 24 gifts. >> For the Cohen.

>> The Cohen gets gifts from everywhere because he has no inheritance. Don't forget, the Cohen is from the tribe of Levi. So he is spoiled in everything: in the harvest, in meat, in cotton, in fruit, in money, in fruit, in everything. So here we are on the second line.

>> It’s only regarding sheep. Why? Where does that come from? The same word appears in two subjects.

In Job, it says that Job gave a poor man something to wear. Sheep's wool, it's written. So , since it’s the same word, okay. Fortunately, he gives in advance, he could have given a merguez too, you see .

Maybe the same word is also in the bull. So maybe also the bull when you shear it. I don't know if you'll shear it, but if you... >> him, he doesn't...

>> he doesn't have much. Yeah, okay. Bravo , the sack. Bravo.

With a sheep. You can't make a garment. You can make a sack. Ah, you can make a bag, a canteen .

>> Yes, but with its skin, even... >> with the skin, but you can't make clothes. Okay. To keep warm, why not.

>> And put another one, the goat, the goat . We can do something with it, right? And that's what Abraham said earlier, that with sheep, you can pull it off by hand. Bravo.

And not with all the other animals. You can't. Bravo. Okay.

So there were places where almost everyone at the time would pull it off like that >> They waited, you had explained. One could only use sheep's wool for the Cohen's garments to make the tunic or the belt. So it's the Cohen, it's something you give him as a gift, but he can use it in the Temple. And the shearing.

On the other hand, if the sheep's wool is very, very complicated or very hard, okay? Because it's sick or because of the breed. Then it's useless to give it to the Cohen. It's called in French a poisoned gift.

That's it. If someone washed them, put them in a tub or in the lake and they gradually tore off, does that also count as tearing off the wool? Must he give it to the Cohen, or is it not considered a real one? >> There you go, the Sages say so, but Rabbi does too.

The Sages say: "It doesn't matter, it's the result that counts for us." It’s wool, there is wool, give to the... "Cohen also says:" No, you must cut the wool in the manner of the time. "It’s the same thing with the wheat harvest: what you harvest and what's left for the poor, it's only with the machine, the sickle. If you pull it out by hand, you aren't obligated to give what you pulled out by hand to the poor.

Careful, Rav says that, he says:" No, it must be done in the usual way with the. "sickle." It all depends on the location, there are places where they didn't have a sickle, eh. Who knows, maybe in Thailand they pull them out by hand, or over there they pull them out with their feet. In the same way that they pull, harvest, or cut, that's how they work, so you give to the...19 When planting onions, you would pull them out by the head, they would come out a little bit.

So if you left onions, at the time, he would leave them in between to make rows between the... >> the squares. That means if there are tomatoes here, he would put onions in the middle so it would act as a border, a barrier. >> The boundary.

>> Now, if he pulled those out, does he still have to leave some for the poor or not? RP. Yes. Each barrier like that is like an onion field and you can't pull everything.

You have to leave some for the poor. No. But the Sages say no, not each barrier, all of them at once are considered one big field and you leave accordingly. There, we finished that subject, let's get back to the wool or...We saw that you need, do you remember in the Mishnah, a minimum of two sheep.

There were two opinions, eh. >> Bravo, Ama. Since it's plural, what does he have? Did he become Tunisian?

Or do you need 5 so you have twice two to make the wool, because otherwise it's not enough wool, and another for the cheek, that way you have a choice. That's not good. Agreed. So it's only when he has 5 that he can start giving all the gifts at the same time.

Ah, a new opinion says no. 4, how is it the one who stole a sheep there, you remember, and we caught him with the sheep. He made a with he must reimburse wh It's a good source because he brought a source from t Who is right? So we have three opinions, let's turn the page.

What did we have? 2, 4 and 5 >> or >> I'm turning to page 137B. He is the one who is right because he doesn't just have one source, he had, he has the thread connecting from the prophets Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi. So it's 4.

Now, we still have to decide on the quantity; we haven't talked about the weight yet. Hey! How much do I give? Two small tufts, a small bag, 1 kg maneh.

Okay. Maneh means, I don't know how much that is today but it's like you say, not a coin, a small ingot that they had back then. It says it's 1/60th . Okay.

So there, it's easy, what there is Rabban looks for the Cohen Hamisha V'eo not at all if there are 6, the value of 6 coins or 6 kg, 5 for the Cohen and one for him. 4th opinion the value of one coin. Okay. That's a little tight to give as a gift >> or there are different views.

We saw that it was the weight of 5 coins in Judea which are 10 coins in Galilee. Back then, the weights of the coins weren't the same. He answers and says it all depends on how many sheep he has ; if he has one sheep we won't send everything, but if he has many sheep then of course he will give the weight of 5 coins, why do I see the Rashi commentary, it's the minimum to make a garment. Okay.

Enough to make a small garment for the Cohen, less than that? What would you do with a Kleenex? A handkerchief from back then, you can't make a handkerchief with wool, right? It itches the nose, I think.

Yes, but if I only have five sheep, do I need the equivalent of 5 sheep? It's true he can't do anything with it. But you, 5, 5, that's already something. >> Yes.

Yes, that's true. But if I am the only one in the city. Me, in the neighborhood, there is no one with sheep today, right? Maybe back then they all had them.

>> Gufahishim. Well, apparently here is the source and we are still talking about 1/60th. >> Even in the rules of meat. So even there, there is a 1/60th.

But just know that even if it's 1/60th, it's better to give 1 out of 40. All right? It's true that there are three measurements. 1/40, 1/50, what are they?

1/50 means, uh, 2%. >> Yes. >> Yeah. 2%.

>> Or 2%and some, or 1%and some. All right . So the best thing is to give 1/40th. But know that by Torah law, even a single grain of wheat >> exits the field, many things that the —not the quantity, but the...There is also a difference between Israel and France.

When you are in France and you have a field, there are poor people, like poor people in Saint-Denis, we won't force everything to be... >> OK. >> Who are these poor people sometimes? >> Who is Barini?

Go listen to the story here. Barini, a rabbi, he made aliyah to Israel from Babylon. He heard that Raban taught this Mishnah, he taught his son that one must give sheep's wool , but he said, "We learned in Babylon, female [wool]." No, no, no, that means nothing. To hear the rest of the story, "Amarl manidraavel," who is your rabbi in Babylon?

Was his rabbi called Papa the...? What? You call him Papa the Great. When I was in Babylon, he was so great, I was sitting in line 17.

Back then, these were his first lines, it's great. >> Line 17, and I was afraid. I had the impression that it was like, like fire coming upon me. And you tell me, "He's called Papa the Great." What did Papa the Great tell you there?

So he said, " But wait, we said anything." So he says , "Yes, according to the Torah, there is no quantity, whatever you give is good.""But the Sages, they gave an order: 60th." 60th is not even 2%. All right. Not...it's not 60th, it changes everything, already. 18%, it's like the ...It's the quantity that was told to you of the pieces, the 60th.

I'll just finish the subject, I've turned to page 138. It existed back then, 1 out of 4, that means 25%, because it's the value of 40 pieces. All right? So what this gives, remember, is the 60th minimum of wool that must be given to the Cohen.

Now we have half a page left to finish this subject tomorrow. After that, we will move on to birds. That subject will be more pleasant. Many call sometimes.

Hello, Rabin, I saw a bird with its mother, I’m going to do the mitzvah. So, we will look at all the details a little bit. >> And tomorrow we still have to figure out the wool quality and all that. Amen !

Have an excellent day, everyone. There, I just finished doing it. Ah,
