Study Guide After the Gemara establishes the root of the debate between Rabbi Eliezer and the Rabbis regarding a koy, Rav Papa clarifies the specific type of koy they dispute concerning the prohibition of slaughtering a parent and its offspring on the same day (oto v'et beno) and the distribution of priestly gifts (matnot kehuna). He also explains that the Mishna's ruling—which prohibits slaughtering a koy on Yom Tov due to the uncertainty of whether its blood requires covering (kisuy hadam)—aligns specifically with the Rabbis' position. The Gemara then introduces three other opinions regarding the exact definition of a koy. Rabbi Oshaya notes that the Mishna does not align with the opinion of Rabbi Shimon, who views any slaughter that is not fit for consumption—including the slaughter of sacrifices in general, since it does not permit the meat until the blood is sprinkled—as an invalid slaughter (shechita she'eina reuya). Consequently, under his view, one who slaughters an animal in the Temple and its offspring on the same day does not violate the prohibition of "you shall not slaughter it and its offspring on the same day" (oto v'et beno lo tishchatu b'yom echad). The Gemara questions why the Mishna omits the rule that one receives lashes for slaughtering an animal in the Temple courtyard whose time has not yet come (mechusar zman—because its mother was already slaughtered today) on account of slaughtering an unfit animal in the Temple, and offers two answers to resolve this.

התוכן 1) בנוגע לכמה ענינים נחשב ר"ח ליום-טוב, ובמיוחד ר"ח של "חודש החמישי" שבו "צום החמישי" עפמ"ש "צום החמישי .. יהי' .. לששון ולשמחה ולמועדים טובים". וכיון שהירידה ד"צום החמישי" היא ירידה הכי גדולה מבין כל הד' צומות שנזכרו בפסוק זה, מובן שגם העלי' שעי"ז היא עלי' הכי גדולה‏ – ‏העלי' דבנין בהמ"ק השלישי. וכדי למהר א"ז יש להוסיף ב"מעשינו ועבודתינו" ובפרט בענינים הקשורים לט' הימים. 2) ר"ח מנ"א הוא יום ההסתלקות של אהרן הכהן שהאריך ימים יותר מ-120 שנה, ועפמ"ש "הוי מתלמידיו של אהרן"‏ – ‏יומשך לכאו"א אריכות ימים ושנים טובות כפשוטו, נשמות בגופים וכו', ויה"ר שע"י ההחלטות בענינים אלו תבוא הגאולה תיכף ומיד ממש! ועוד‏.‏ב' חלקים משיחת אור ליום ד' דפ' דברים, ר"ח מנחם-אב ה'תשמ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-07-2026 Synopsis (1) In a number of ways, Rosh Chodesh is considered like a Yom Tov, especially Rosh Chodesh of the fifth month, which contains the “Fast of the Fifth Month,” which will be transformed “into joy and gladness and happy festivals.” Since the descent associated with the Fast of the Fifth Month is the greatest descent among the four fasts mentioned in the verse, it is understood that the ascent resulting from it is likewise the greatest ascent – namely, the building of the third Beis Hamikdash. In order to hasten it, one should increase in “our deeds and our service,” especially in matters pertaining to the Nine Days. (2) Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av is the day of yom hilula of Aharon HaKohen, who lived more than 120 years. Since the Mishna says, “Be among the disciples of Aharon,” this should bring long life and good years for every Jew in the literal sense, as souls in bodies etc. May it be Hashem's will that the positive resolutions taken in these matters bring the Redemption immediately, literally right now!2 excerpts from sichah of Tuesday night, parashas Devarim, Rosh Chodesh Menachem-Av 5749 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=14-07-2026 לזכות פרימא בת פריידא שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ט תמוז - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות*לזכות מושקא תחי' יוניק ליום ההולדת שלה כ"ט תמוז - לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובותנדבת הורי' ר' דוד וזוגתו מרת חנה שיחיו יוניק
