Ma’aser Rishon Shenitlah Terumato

Isn’t this simple? Why is the Mishna giving us this case? Isn’t this just your regular, old, everyday, run-of-the-mill case? Why does the Mishna feel the need to tell us that you are allowed to say Zimun in this case it is obvious!

 

You do need it, because if a Levi comes before the bundles are completely gathered, he gives Terumat Ma’aser but he does not separate “Teruma Gedola” (Original Teruma from Yisrael to Cohen). (And because of this, this case now seems shady)

 

And it is like Rabbi Abhu. That he says in the name of Resh Lakish that a person who takes from the bundles before they are finished being gathered he has to give Terumat Ma’aser and not Teruma Gedola.

 

He proves this from a Pasuk that says that the Levi’im have to give Ma’aser from the Ma’aser. He only said Ma’aser from the Ma’aser, it doesn’t say anything about Teruma Gedola, therefore we learn from here he doesn’t have to give Teruma Gedola.

 

If this pasuk is correct, what’s the difference between before/after bundling?

Midrash Tanhuma

Rabbi Yehuda Bar Shalom says, that when Hashem told Moshe to “Ketab Lach,” he asked if he could write the Mishna. But Hashem said no, because He foresaw that the Goyim would translate the Torah in their language and they would say were are from Yisrael, and Hashem would say, no you are not, these are my children, and this is the Torah that I gave them by heart.

Sifra in Behukotai

It says in Behukotai “Torot,” Which implies that there are two Torahs. What does this teach us? This there are two Torot: Torah Shebichtav, and Torah Shebe’al Peh.

47a

Its says in the Beraita, “You should not say an Amen Hatoofa (Literally means grab), Ketoofa (Shortened), or Yetooma (orphaned).

Ben Azai says that one who says an Amen Yetooma his children will be orphaned, Hatoofa his days will be grabbed, And Ketoofa his days will be shortened.

And anyone who stretches out his Amen (but not too long) his days will be lengthened.

Rab and Shmuel are eating and Rab Simei Bar Hiia comes and tries to eat quickly to join them in Zimun.

Rab says to him, what are you thinking, we ate already, you can’t join us now.

Tosafot Kol Hama’arich

But you should not stretch the word out to long

The reason is because it doesn’t mean the same thing when you stretch it out too long

Rashi 47a

Hatoofa:

The Hataf is really a Sheva

The Patach is really a Kamatz

See the chart

 

Ketoofa:

See the chart

Yetooma:

See the chart

In Alexandria there was a very large Shul. There was a man standing next to the Hazan who pick up his flag whenever it was time to say Amen. It is okay because they knew what Beracha they were answering to they just couldn’t hear it.

Velo Yizrok:

You should not be quick about saying a Beracha, like it’s a burden, it should be enjoyable for you.

Vekemesarheb le’echol:

He ate very quickly so he can join them in Zimun.

Achalna Lan:

They already ate and they were finished and now Rab Simei can’t make them obligated in Zimun (since they were finished and he just started)

Ha Lo Hazei Lei:

How could this man be worthy to make Zimun on this Demai, because it is a Mitzvah (Zimun) that comes from an Avera (Might be that Ma’asrot were not given).

Rashi brings a proof:

It says in Tehilim, If somebody eats bread and he says an unnecessary Beracha, it is like he cursed Hashem.

This case is talking about when a man steals a bundle of wheat and he grinds it up to make bread, and he wants to make Zimun

Demai:

Wheat that you buy from an Am Ha’aretz

 

Achnasia:

Soldiers of the king who rely on the people to feed them when they come back from war.

They are like Ani’yim because they are always moving

Ma’achilim Et HaAni’yim:

That most of the Amei Ha’aretz give Ma’asrot, it’s just a general stringency of the Rabbis.
