Study Guide Zevachim 3 This week's learning is sponsored by Tina Lamm in loving memory of her father, Mr. Mike Senders, A"H, Yitzchak Meir ben HaRav Tzvi Aryeh v'Esther Bayla, on his shloshim. "Reaching the age of 101 was not only a personal milestone for my father, but also a testament to the fullness of his life. He used those years well - building Torah institutions, nurturing family and living in intimacy with Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Today’s daf is sponsored by Lisa Malik & Adi Wyner in loving memory of Lisa’s grandmother, Regina Post z”l. "Babi Gina was the one who insisted on her grandchildren going to the Yeshivah Flatbush and who was especially proud of her 2 granddaughters who were Hebrew valedictorians. She would also be so proud to know that one of her namesakes, Rivkah Gottlieb, made aliyah and that she now has 6 Israeli grandchildren and 3 Israeli great-grandchildren. May the memory of Rivkah bat Shmuel v’Chavah be for a blessing." From where do we know for certain that a get that is written without any specific intent for the woman is disqualified (the basis of a contradiction in Zevachim 2)? After four failed attempts, they eventually find a fifth case in the Mishna in Gittin that clearly proves this. Four contradictions are raised against statements brought in the name of Rav relating to cases in which sacrifices are/are not disqualified when offered for a similar but different intent or for a completely different intent. Comparisons are made to divorce documents, impurities in utensils (what things are considered a barrier that the impurity cannot pass through), and laws within the topic itself (various cases where wrong intentions disqualify/don't disqualify the sacrifices). Each contradiction is resolved. How do we know with certainty that a get (divorce document) written without specific intent for the woman is invalid? This question arises as part of a contradiction discussed in Zevachim 2. After four unsuccessful attempts to find the source, the Gemara ultimately finds a definitive proof in a Mishna in Gittin, which clearly establishes that a get must be written lishmah—with specific intent for the woman receiving it. The sugya presents four challenges to statements attributed to Rav regarding when sacrificial offerings are disqualified due to improper intent. These challenges explore cases where the intent is slightly off (e.g., for a different type of offering) or entirely unrelated. The contradictions are from: The laws of gittin (divorce documents) The laws of tumah in utensils (what constitutes a barrier to impurity) Internal comparisons within the sacrificial laws themselves Each contradiction is carefully analyzed and ultimately resolved, reinforcing the nuanced understanding of how intent affects the validity of offerings—and by extension, other halachic domains.

Gittin Perek 2 (5785)

התוכן מסופר בגמ' (גיטין נו) שלאחרי שראה שאת הגזירה מלמעלה ש"הלבנון [ביהמ"ק] באדיר יפול" לא תתבטל, ביקש ר' יוחנן בן זכאי מאספסינוס "תן לי יבנה וחכמי'" – כ"תחליף" לביהמ"ק, וכמאחז"ל "משחרב ביהמ"ק אין לו להקב"ה אלא ד' אמות של הלכה", ויתירה מזו – זה מזרז את בנין ביהמ"ק. ונמצא שעוד לפני החורבן בפועל, הסכים הצד-שכנגד לביטול החורבן. דהנה, אע"פ שצריך לזכור שכללות ענין הגלות הוא עונש וצרה ומצוקה שאין כמוה ואי"ז מעמד-ומצב טבעי לבנ"י ח"ו, וצ"ל תמיד במצב של "נתאוו . . [ל]ימות המשיח" כאשר כל ישראל "ישיגו דעת בוראם" – אבל לא מספיק לקונן על הגלות בלבד אלא צריך לעשות הכל כדי לבטל את חושך הגלות, ע"י לימוד התורה וקיום המצוות. החידוש של ר' יוחנן בן זכאי הי' שהקדים ה"רפואה" ל"מכה", ע"י שקיבל את "יבנה וחכמי'", ה"ד' אמות של הלכה".ב' חלקים משיחת וא"ו תשרי ה'תש"מ ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-07-2025 Synopsis The Gemara states (Gittin 56b) that after Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai saw that the heavenly decree that, “the Levanon [the Beis Hamikdash] will fall by a mighty one” was going to be fulfilled, he asked Vespasian, “Give me Yavne and its Sages,” as a substitute for the Beis Hamikdash, as our Sages said, “Since the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed, the Holy One, blessed be He, has only the four cubits of halachah.” Since “Yavne and its Sages” hasten the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash, it emerges that even before the actual destruction, the opposing side had already agreed to the undoing of the destruction. Although one must always remember that the whole concept of exile is a punishment and unparalleled suffering and distress, and certainly exile is not the natural state of the Jewish people chas v'shalom and one must constantly “yearn… for the days of Moshiach,” when the entire Jewish people will “attain knowledge of their Creator” – but it is not enough to merely lament the exile: one must do everything in their power to nullify the darkness of the exile by studying Torah and performing mitzvos. Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai's unique contribution was that he arranged the “remedy before the blow” by securing “Yavneh and its Sages,” the four cubits of halachah.2 excerpts from sichah of 6 Tishrei 5740 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=31-07-2025 לע"נ הרה"ח הר"ר יואל ב"ר רפאל נחמן הכהן קאהן ליום היארצייט שלו ו' מנחם אב. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת הרה"ח ר' יוסף יצחק שי' פריז
