Transcript
- 0:00OK, good morning. We are continuing.
- 0:03Help us Mikvas. We are at Raish Aleph and we are
- 0:07at Nun tet, Nun tet UK, UK. OK, what is that Perosh kafira?
- 0:17A couple of different explanations for what that is
- 0:19from the but anyways, Shibata ha mikva IM haita karka ham
- 0:24abdellah bina UK bina mikva bria.
- 0:28Basically Luka's a, a deeper chamber, a deeper pit, but that
- 0:36was dug up below the main Chamber of the the main mikvah
- 0:41itself. OK, so it depends now.
- 0:44So there's a basically you were able to dig maybe from the side,
- 0:49whatever it is, you're able to dig like a little bit of a hole
- 0:53underneath your mikvah. And then that hole was able to
- 0:57is, is getting filled up with water and it's connected.
- 1:02So let's keep reading Shabbatoka mikvah E Maita karka.
- 1:07So if the ground between the upper mikvah and the lower hole
- 1:16or chamber so that that you're able to stand on it.
- 1:21But well, let's see it's, it's strong we and you can stand on
- 1:26it if you hold on one of that's my aim.
- 1:28Matibilin bumayim shiba Luka achiyu Uravim IMA Mikva Kishore
- 1:35Farah tanod. So similar to as we learned
- 1:38before, as long as there's a, if it's separate, right?
- 1:42Two separate chambers divided by a wall that you could stand on.
- 1:47So that separates it. It makes it 2 separate chambers
- 1:50and the top one is Mensa, The bottom one is less than 40 CEA
- 1:55to the bottom one. The lower chamber is for sure
- 1:58going to be a puzzle mikva because it's its own separate
- 2:02mikva, its own separate body of water, and it's not 40 CEA.
- 2:06But as long as there's a connection of a full area of
- 2:09Kishore Verita node, it's no problem.
- 2:12That's you're combining connecting the two bodies of
- 2:15water and and we look at it as its one body, even if it would
- 2:20be 20 and 20, you can add them up together, but if you can't
- 2:29stand on it like it's too thin, it'll collapse.
- 2:33So then a few inam uragam ella bekosuhu magbilin baham.
- 2:39Then you just need a chuta SE ara, just a tiny little gap
- 2:43where the water can connects it, connect it.
- 2:45And that's 100% enough. You do not need kishwaferra
- 2:48tanode because it's really not considered a completely two
- 2:52different chambers. It's like a a small protrusion
- 2:56of the original body of water, like similar to the halafa that
- 3:00we just learned before. And so it's all considered one
- 3:04mikvah do. You have to capture a picture of
- 3:06this in your mind. Yeah, I can maybe send you a
- 3:09picture. If you look in certain
- 3:10Mishnaya's books or whatever, they'll have pictures.
- 3:13Basically any chamber underneath another chamber.
- 3:18Yeah. OK.
- 3:23You poured it in from the side or you have a hole.
- 3:25You have a little hole. I need a little hole.
- 3:28The Kucerne is memsa and you connect it with a tiny little
- 3:31hole. So now the water drains in there
- 3:33and it fills it up. So as long as that wall is
- 3:36sturdy, then that's a separate mikvah and it doesn't connect
- 3:39unless the opening is Kushil Ferretta note and we're not
- 3:42going to get into it again. But this is similar to the
- 3:45Khabad mikvah where you have it's not the whole story, but
- 3:50just it's partially the partial story is if you have a Khabad
- 3:52mikvah 1 mikvah on top of another, as long as you have an
- 3:56opening and they make sure they have an opening, I think it's
- 3:59they make it a tefak by tefak and then it's considered like
- 4:03one chamber. So they clean out the top water
- 4:06and they the bottom one is actually the kosher 1.
- 4:09Here it's the reverse. But in their case, the the oats
- 4:12are bore megashamin is the bottom one and then the top one
- 4:16they filter out And as long as OK, anyway, let's see Samer
- 4:25Shalosh Gummot Shibunako, shibunako.
- 4:28So now you have three separate, what's it called?
- 4:34Duck puddles. But whatever we'll call them
- 4:36whatever depressions could be puddles or mikvos, whatever you
- 4:41want to call it, a longer river, a Tatonia, the Eliona shell,
- 4:47Estrem Seia. The top and bottom are Estrem
- 4:50Seia. So right, we're assuming it's
- 4:52kosher water, but you don't have 40 sail the ham Saeed shell
- 4:56Arbaim and the middle one is 40 sail.
- 5:00This Shatab the Shamim over and then through the mega Shamim it
- 5:07goes here. Alpha Picchu nichenas le Tokan
- 5:11Vyotzai MI Tokan. Even though it goes in and out
- 5:15ains E aru that's not doesn't combine them.
- 5:18The Ain Matibilin Alabam Saeed, the only one that's kosher to is
- 5:23the middle one Shane Hanis Khalin Maarviim Ella Inkane
- 5:28Abdul. So in order to have this is what
- 5:31is what it's saying basically in order for there to be to combine
- 5:38and connect MI kovos, we said you can have water connecting
- 5:44them Kishwa Ferretanode. But this concept only works if
- 5:50it's Stillwater, if the water is not moving, if the, if you're
- 5:54having a, a river that's moving and that's what's Kishwafera
- 5:59Tanoda and that's what's connecting them and we're
- 6:01talking about mega Shamim, then it's does not make a connection
- 6:06for a Mayan. Could be I, I believe it's OK.
- 6:10I have to double check. I believe it's OK because
- 6:12Zocalin is OK for Mayan, but for but if it's Mega Shamim think
- 6:19that's what he also means over here by Shetev Shoga Shamin
- 6:24right and the shock says that, but Ferish OK.
- 6:31It could be any moving body. The principle is any moving body
- 6:35of water never makes a connection by Mega Shamin Miguel
- 6:39even though we said that. That's really the source of the.
- 6:45No. So then in the case of if it's a
- 6:47Maya, if it has AI don't want to go again to.
- 6:50If it has a dent of a Mayan, it's not a problem.
- 6:53If it has a dent of Megashami, major problem.
- 6:56It never connects while it's moving.
- 6:58And that's it. Pretty simple that.
- 7:01By the way, there's a, there's a concept of katapras, enochibor.
- 7:07So it's you cannot make a connection with the katapras.
- 7:10I'm not going to get into it exactly, but Pashtus, what is
- 7:14that halafa? That's our halafa.
- 7:16It means when you have water moving down on a slope, that's
- 7:21zohalin and it doesn't make a connection.
- 7:24Some say it's also a problem with the Khabad mikvah because
- 7:29it's the considerate. However, they learned the din of
- 7:33katapras in a in a hibor. That might be an issue.
- 7:37But OK, let's go to samer alaf akofet yada viragla vyasha bloba
- 7:44amata maim. If a person is bound up, you
- 7:48have a prisoner and he's bound up his hands and his legs and
- 7:53he's put down inside a kosher mikva IM nich nisumaim dere hulo
- 8:00tower. As long as he's fully immersed,
- 8:03it's a kosher dipping. Oh, you're right.
- 8:11OK, it could be. It could also mean if you kind
- 8:16of fold yourself up. OK, could be, I have to double
- 8:18check. Could be makes no difference.
- 8:20No matter how the halacha is telling you, no matter how you
- 8:24go in the water, you're you would say you become taller.
- 8:29The Kasif mission explains that you might think it's I think
- 8:32it's the source. Is it from the is it from the
- 8:35Rambam? I forget, but he writes right, I
- 8:38think so could be it's the sources from the Rambam or maybe
- 8:42a tocefta. But the point is it's not so
- 8:44clear exactly what's the Hiddish.
- 8:46So the the Kasif mission explains because you might think
- 8:48that you can only go to a mikvah Darek you do low the way you
- 8:52normally you grow erect or whatever, whatever is normal.
- 8:56But to be like like you said, fold it up, which I OK, it could
- 9:00be so then it doesn't matter. Bottom line, this Alleka just
- 9:04pointing out to you, it doesn't matter in what direction and
- 9:07what form you go in, as long as your entire body is covered in
- 9:10there at the same time surrounded by water, then it
- 9:13works OK. Samakhbat miqvashyeshba arbaim
- 9:19seiya. Now you have a miqba 40 Seiya
- 9:22bensum summit. Exactly, it's in somewhat Adam
- 9:26hatob El bitocho lo yikfoots litocho.
- 9:30OK, so so this is again another din.
- 9:33I think it's quoted in the gemara anyways is maybe to SEPTA
- 9:39that one is not supposed to jump inside the water.
- 9:44So the Shokanara is telling you it's that case is referring to a
- 9:49case of Arbaimsea. It's exactly Fortissa.
- 9:53So what's the problem of jumping Shiloh Yaksuromayim Fitsa
- 9:58tobitojo? Because if you jump in and water
- 10:03splashes out before your head gets in there, before you're
- 10:07immersed already some of the water is missing and it's not
- 10:10Fortissa. So just it's, I mean, it's just,
- 10:13it's, I would say it's a, it's, it's a, it's much stronger than
- 10:17an 8 satoba. But it's just, it's a practical
- 10:19thing. So that's the idea.
- 10:21Don't jump in because then there might not be 40 left by the time
- 10:24you're inside. OK, so that's that.
- 10:31And you should not dump go whenever it's a 40 Exactly.
- 10:36You should not dip twice. Then again, you dip once.
- 10:39The is you should only dip once. Why is that?
- 10:46OK, that's the that's it. Because what happens if you dip
- 10:49once? If if you're planning to dip
- 10:51twice, a person who has a mind to dip twice automatically, The
- 10:57normal psyche of most normal people is they know they're
- 11:01going twice, so at least one of them has to work out the first
- 11:05one of them. Whatever however their brain
- 11:07works. They might assume their ICAR is
- 11:11the first or their ICAR is the second, whatever it is.
- 11:14So they're going to, if they know they're going twice, they
- 11:16might have the mindset and it's very normal that the first time
- 11:21they're going to probably do a perfect job, but whatever they
- 11:23know they're going to go again. And the second time, that's when
- 11:25they always make sure you know their hair is already wet.
- 11:28And the second time is more likely to do it right the second
- 11:30time. So what happens is you might dip
- 11:34twice and then you're going to have in mind you won't be so
- 11:37careful the first time and then by the second time of dipping,
- 11:42the water might not be some of the water might disappear or
- 11:47splash out. Every time you dunk, you come
- 11:50up, water splashes. When you come out, it's no
- 11:53longer as long as it's in the water, I don't think it's a
- 11:57problem. That's only when you come out
- 12:00that that we did learn to feel, you know, very moist that you
- 12:05can make something else damp is not enough to be a kibor.
- 12:09All right, well, this is the Allah.
- 12:13Now what I do want to point out is the Rambam just it's out of
- 12:17interest. He says he quotes the same
- 12:19halacha from the Tosefta Gumara, but he gives 2.
- 12:23He gives a different reason for both of them is it's maguna.
- 12:26It's, it's, it's not appropriate.
- 12:29It's you're going to do a mitzvah and you, you jump and do
- 12:33the mitzvah. No, you do it with a little
- 12:35more, you're a shamayim or what's it called the COVID
- 12:38Roche. So that's the, the Rambam's
- 12:40reason for that Alaka. So for the Rama, it makes no
- 12:42difference. Even our mikvahs that are way
- 12:45above 40. So he holds you shouldn't jump
- 12:48in like a swimming pool because it looks, I've been to a mikvah
- 12:52before. Sometimes you see if there's
- 12:53kids that come to the mikvah, you see them jumping in,
- 12:56especially if they don't have a pool at home.
- 12:58So it's it's fun. So that's what the Rambam says
- 13:01you shouldn't do when you're doing it for the mitzvah.
- 13:03Doesn't mean he didn't say you can never do that in the mikvah.
- 13:05He didn't say kids can't though. He just said when you're doing
- 13:08it for the mitzvah, that's Miguna.
- 13:10Maybe it's for kids too, I don't know.
- 13:14OK. And and going twice.
- 13:17It's also miguna because it looks like you're doing it to
- 13:20cool off. And usually those mikvahs were
- 13:23cool. The generally mitzvahs were
- 13:25never hot. We're going to learn at the very
- 13:26end that there's a problem with hot Miklas.
- 13:28Even though we're Maple nowadays, there is a problem.
- 13:31And what's it called? So anyways, it's you.
- 13:35It'll look like you're not doing it for the mitzvah.
- 13:37It'll look like you're doing it in order to cool off.
- 13:41And that's the problem with going twice.
- 13:44OK, Tav, we saw Tav, Lubo, Schneinzer, Karzer.
- 13:48And if you dip twice, once after another alpha Pischeragla of
- 13:54shell Rishon noga Oddemayim, the Shokanak says himself, Even
- 14:00though your leads are, they're still touching the water.
- 14:05You didn't get out a Shani Bitumato one second, Tablo
- 14:11Boschnaim Zakhar said. You have two people, they go one
- 14:14after another of mikvah. That's exactly 40.
- 14:17So the first guy goes in and then he comes out, but he's
- 14:22still standing in there. His feet are in the water and he
- 14:25didn't get out completely. So his body is soaking wet, but
- 14:29he's mostly out or partially out.
- 14:32And the Shani goes in there. Betuma toe.
- 14:35The second one stays Tami shahre khasur hamayim me arbaim say ah
- 14:42because when the second guy goes in, the first guy is still out
- 14:48and his water is gone. So that's why if it's the same
- 14:52person going twice, we'll leave it as it's Arakin.
- 14:54Let's do some with Gilmo heat Bilbo baguette Ava shahamaya
- 14:59nivayan betocha. You have a baguette clothing you
- 15:02dipped in the water and it's now it's soaking wet.
- 15:06As long as the baguette is still even if it's half out but it's
- 15:11touching, then it's kosher. OK, it's still you still count
- 15:16the water. The water is not considered like
- 15:18it's missing even though it's above the mikvah.
- 15:20It's out of the mikvah but part of the baguette.
- 15:24Part of the water is out of the mikvah but part of it is still
- 15:26inside and it's all connected. It's still kushar.
- 15:30That water still counts Alpha Picia Zavomi Menush Locha Lugima
- 15:35mikvah, even though it absorbed and pulled out three lugging
- 15:41from the mikvah hello Mimenu puzzle.
- 15:45But if you pull it out completely and then you put it
- 15:49back in well, it's too late as soon as you pull out the
- 15:52baguette completely with the absorbed 3 Lugin and now you
- 15:56have less you have a mikvah that's less than 40 SE right.
- 16:00The all these problems are busy. It's less than 40.
- 16:03So so again, hello Mimenu puzzle.
- 16:09Once you take it out, now the whole the water inside the whole
- 16:13miqva, everything becomes puzzle.
- 16:14Shenaz says Shaoh me a mime Shiadu me a bag of the toko.
- 16:18Because this water that's in the bag, it becomes mime Shuvi.
- 16:22And now it's going back. It's going to puzzle your
- 16:24miqvah, the IME mat Bilbel Yora or Charqueli Murrido Toko Derek
- 16:29Pien Shaloh Yinazu, a mime, Kishi Mitoko.
- 16:35So he says like this. Now our mikvahs, again, we're
- 16:38not not really an issue because our mikvahs are much more than
- 16:4140 cell. But here if you have a mikvah
- 16:44that's exactly 40 cell, you have a little issue.
- 16:46He says don't put, don't put in the mikvah up.
- 16:55They'll dip the bottle that you're putting in upside down,
- 16:59right? The opening is down.
- 17:04Wait a SEC. No, you should do that.
- 17:05I think one second you should do it upside down because when you
- 17:17put it down upside down, the water doesn't splash out.
- 17:21I guess it's whatever, whatever the reason is.
- 17:23That's the assumption. It doesn't splash out.
- 17:25The water goes in. It's more narrow, whatever it is
- 17:28and the water you're going to stay with 40 S.
- 17:30But if you put it upside down when you put it in, obviously it
- 17:33depends how quick you put it in. Again, all these this is it's
- 17:38not a lack of emotion. You see now it's a principle or
- 17:40a real principle. It's more of common sense and
- 17:43being practical. OK, so then it's the way you do
- 17:47it. You put you should put it down
- 17:48upside down. So it's not a problem.
- 17:51Maleo Dera Shulov But then while it's under the water, you have
- 17:55to flip it and make it No, no. Derek Shulov no, no, no.
- 18:01And just lift it up the same way.
- 18:05They should really share bromine on my and we have some on my
- 18:07club, right. You have to make sure the water
- 18:10goes inside, so you might have to turn it to its side, Make
- 18:13sure there's no bubbles. The water has to fill it up on
- 18:16the inside, but when you take it out, keep it upside down the way
- 18:19it was. So all the water goes back in.
- 18:22Agaa cola maim shibakli So all the water from the mikvah goes
- 18:26back in and you still have 40 SE.
- 18:28Obviously we're talking about a case when it was exactly 40 SAA,
- 18:31but a Masha gumor because a little bit of water is going to
- 18:34stick on the bottle. The gumsha maim shibakli you
- 18:38shooting. Also, if you do it the other
- 18:40way, then the water that you take, if you were to take out
- 18:43the water the bottle regularly and you have exactly 40 SAA and
- 18:49you pick up the bottle, you're going to have a bottle full of
- 18:51water. Now the mic was less than 40.
- 18:54You turn it upside down to put the water back in there for the
- 18:57next dish or the next person. Well, now you just put in three
- 19:00looking of mine, shoving or whatever.
- 19:03You don't have enough of 40 S to make a kosher anymore.
- 19:07So it's just important that you don't be careful when you have a
- 19:10mic that's exactly 40 the and then that's what we just said.
- 19:19You took it out. You no longer have 40.
- 19:22But again, our always have forty way above way more than 40.
- 19:27So it's not a problem. Let me see if we just do a bit
- 19:32more. Hamad Bilkar or Cassidy the
- 19:34Mikvacheshwar running sail. Nikhil Bannock, if you're going
- 19:37to dip inside a pillow, now, these pillows are made of
- 19:42leather. OK?
- 19:44Basically, we're talking about any kind of container that
- 19:48doesn't have holes and any container anything, Yeah,
- 19:52anything that doesn't have holes.
- 19:55In those days, they are made of leather.
- 19:56So it would hold the water inside.
- 19:59They would take a pillow, there would be a made a leather case,
- 20:02fill it up with some kind of wool or whatever it is,
- 20:04feathers, and that would be your pillow.
- 20:06And it would apply nowadays, I believe to plastic as well.
- 20:09Because as we learned before, it has to be like a cleat, doesn't
- 20:12have to be a cleat. That's there's no more luck, but
- 20:14it has to be macabo tuma. You can even have a mine
- 20:16shooting by stone dishes. OK, so let's so you have exactly
- 20:2140K1 should real estate today. Amaya means so amaya.
- 20:25So if you lift it upward, then water is going to come inside
- 20:29and fill it up. You're going to pick it up with
- 20:30water inside and immediately that water is going to come
- 20:32Mayim shuvim again, we're talking about a 40 exactly
- 20:35mikvah. So Kate said, Yasa, what do you
- 20:37do, Madhubila and Umala and Derek Shulaya and you put it in,
- 20:40but then you make sure you turn it upside down and you pull it
- 20:44out of a la koopa BES Akman, Bilimala and Kadar convey a
- 20:47whole sheesh. But if you're going to put in
- 20:48any material that's has holes in there, like a Wicker basket or
- 20:53any any normal baguette, the water runs right through it and
- 20:56therefore it's no problem whatsoever.
