A beraita quoting a dispute between between R. Eliezer and R. Yehoshua. A comparison between the sin-offering and the guilt-offering, distinguishing between them in several ways, including details about the way blood was applied to the altar, above and below a red line on the altar. With other details being similar to uphold the comparisons.

A vital lesson in leadership from Yehoshua.

How the Leadership of Moshe Was Passed On to Yehoshua

Halacha requires reciting Birkot Ha'Torah in the morning before one learns Torah. Does this apply only if one wants to learn Torah verbally, or even if one is interested in learning silently, such as by reading without saying the words? For example, if a person wakes up in the middle of the night, and he wants to read a Torah book to help him fall back asleep, must he first recite Birkot Ha'Torah? This question arises also if one sits and drinks coffee early in the morning before reciting Birkot Ha'Torah. May he silently read a Torah book while drinking, or must he first recite Birkot Ha'Torah? For that matter, is one allowed upon waking in the morning to think about Torah before he recites Birkot Ha'Torah? The Bet Yosef cites the Agur (Rav Yaakob Landau, 1410-1493) as ruling that Birkot Ha'Torah is required only before learning Torah verbally, but not before learning silently. Just as praying only with one's eyes, without saying the words, does not qualify as prayer, likewise, learning Torah without saying the words does not constitute "learning" as far as the Birkot Ha'Torah requirement is concerned. The Shulhan Aruch rules accordingly. The Vilna Gaon (Rav Eliyahu of Vilna, 1720-1797), however, disagrees. He notes the verse in which G-d commands, "Ve'hagita Bo Yomam Va'layla" (Yehoshua 1:8), that we must study Torah day and night. The word "Hagita," the Gaon asserts, refers to unspoken thoughts, as in the expression, "Hegyon Libi" ("the stirrings of my heart" – Tehillim 19:15), and thus the Misva of Torah study is fulfilled even through silent learning. The Nishmat Adam (Rav Abraham Danzig of Vilna, 1748-1820) refuted this proof, pointing to the text of Birkot Ha'Torah, which mentions "words of Torah" ("Dibreh Torah"), implying that this refers specifically to spoken words (as "Dibur" means "speech"). Moreover, the Nishmat Adam cites several instances where the word "Hegyon" clearly refers to speech, and not to silent thought, such as "U'lshoni Tehegeh Sidkecha" (Tehillim 35:28), "Pi Sadik Yehegeh Hochma" (Tehillim 37:30), and "Lo Yehegu Bi'gronam" (Tehillim 115:7). (The Vilna Gaon would likely respond that "Hegyon" refers to both speech and silent thoughts, and thus both fall under the command of "Ve'hagita" and require Birkot Ha'Torah.) The Nishmat Adam further notes that the Gemara (Berachot 21a) cites as the source of the Birkot Ha'Torah obligation the verse in Debarim (32:3), "Ki Shem Hashem Ekra Habu Godel L'Elokenu" – "When I call the Name of G-d, express praise to our G-d." This verse speaks of reciting a Beracha when one "calls the Name of G-d," suggesting that this applies only to verbally articulating the words of Torah. The majority of Poskim follow the view of the Shulhan Aruch, that Birkot Ha'Torah is not required before silent Torah study. These include the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) and Hacham Ovadia Yosef. (Moreover, there is considerable discussion among later Poskim as to whether the Vilna Gaon truly held the stringent position that even thinking Torah requires Birkot Ha'Torah, or only considered this possibility.) Therefore, one who wishes to silently think about Torah in the middle of the night, or in the morning before reciting Birkot Ha'Torah, may do so.

התוכן איתא בגמ' [בבא בתרא כא.] "זכור אותו איש לטוב ויהושע בן גמלא שמו, שאלמלא הוא נשתכחה תורה מישראל, שמתחלה מי שיש לו אב מלמדו תורה מי שאין לו אב לא הי' למד תורה.. התקינו שיהיו מושיבין מלמדי תינוקות בירושלים.. ועדיין מי שיש לו אב הי' מעלו ומלמדו מי שאין לו אב לא הי' עולה ולמד.. התקינו שיהיו מושיבין בכל פלך ופלך ומכניסין אותן כבן ט"ז כבן י"ז.. עד שבא יהושע בן גמלא ותיקן שיהיו מושיבין מלמדי תינוקות בכל מדינה ומדינה ובכל עיר ועיר, ומכניסין אותן כבן שש כבן שבע". והיינו, שהגם שתקנת ר' יהושע בן גמלא היתה חשובה רק לילדים מ"בן שש ובן שבע", ורק עבור אלו שלא הי' להם אב ר"ל (מיעוטא דמיעוטא דבנ"י), ומ"מ "אלמלא הוא נשתכחה תורה מישראל"! ומכאן רואים עד כמה החינוך של כמה קטנים מישראל נוגע לכלל ישראל! וההוראה: על כ"א לעשות את כל התלוי בו להקים חדרים לילדי ישראל בסביבתו ובכל עיר ועיר, ולא לסמוך על הישיבות לגיל ט"ז-י"ז, או שהאבא ילמד עם הילד וכו'‏.‏משיחת י"ב תמוז ה'תשל"ג ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-08-2025 Synopsis The Gemara states (Bava Basra 21a): “That man is remembered for the good, and his name is Yehoshua be Gamla. If not for him the Torah would have been forgotten from the Jewish people. Initially, whoever had a father, [his father] would teach him Torah. Whoever did not have a father would not learn Torah…they instituted  that teachers of children should be established in Yerushalayim…But still, whoever had a father, [his father] ascended with him [to Jerusalem] and had him taught, but whoever did not have a father, he did not ascend and learn. They instituted  that they should be established  in each and every region, and they brought [the students] in at  age  the age of sixteen  and at  the age  of seventeen. Until Yehoshua ben Gamla came and instituted that teachers of children should be established in each and every province and in each and every town, and they would bring them in at the age of six and at the age of seven.” Meaning, although Yehoshua ben Gamla's ordinance only applied to children from age six or seven, and only those who had no father Rachmana litzlan (a small minority of Jews), nevertheless, “If not for him the Torah would have been forgotten from the Jewish people.” Here we see how much the education of a small number of Jewish children affects the entire Jewish people. The lesson is that everyone must do everything in their power to establish chadarim for Jewish children in every city, and not to rely on the yeshivos for older students or on the assumption that the father will teach the child etc.Excerpt from sichah of 12 Tammuz 5733 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-08-2025 לזכות ר' שניאור זלמן בן חוה לאה וזוגתו מרת שיינא בת חנה שיחיו ליום הנישואין שלהם ביום כ"א מנחם-אבלברכה והצלחה בכל הענינים לאויוש"ט*לזכות שטערנא שרה בת חי'ה רחל שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"א מנחם-אבלשנת ברכה והצלחה רבה ומופלגה בכל בגו"ר מתוך בריאות נכונה ומנוחת הנפש והגוףנדבת בעלה ר' חיים ברוך שי' אלבסקי

What if Moshe couldn't see that the people had already grown up? In this episode, Parshat Pinchas takes center stage as Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer delve into the powerful juxtaposition of two pivotal moments in Bamidbar 27: the bold legal claim of the daughters of Tzlofchad and the appointment of Yehoshua as Moshe's successor. They explore rabbinic expansions from Avot de-Rabbi Natan, the challenge of seeing people as they are today—not as they were—and the evolving nature of Torah leadership and inheritance. Their discussion raises timely questions about authority, growth, and meeting learners where they truly are.
