Latest / SHULCHAN ARUCH YOMI: Own the Halacha in 25 minutes a day! / Yoreh De’ah 201:52-54. Mikvaos: Hashaka, Combining Mikvaos
Transcript
- 0:00OK, good morning. We're continuing Helkos Mikvaos
- 0:02Raish aleph. We're starting today with nun
- 0:07base. OK, how about the art of Mikva
- 0:10puzzle O kasser E Mikva Kasser la hakshiro.
- 0:15OK, so you have a pit of water or a mikva, whatever and it's
- 0:21puzzle or it's lacking 40 SE OK, there's two possibilities.
- 0:28So then it's and right and there's another mikvah that's
- 0:33next to it that is kosher, but you just want to have another
- 0:37mikvah. Whatever the reason is you want
- 0:39to use the other mikvah. OK, there could be a myriad of
- 0:43reasons. 1 might be more deep and dangerous.
- 0:46The other one is more shallow and safer.
- 0:49Whatever it is losing your Kaylee and whatever you want to
- 0:51use it for senius reasons doesn't matter, right?
- 0:54You want to re filter the water, empty the water and refill it.
- 0:57Like we can do an R an R mikvahs.
- 1:00OK, so then you want to make it kosher.
- 1:02So what do we do? Or you have another situation.
- 1:10It's another scenario. You have two mikvahs, but
- 1:12they're both Paso because they're in Kaser.
- 1:14That's the case. They're both Kaser they neither
- 1:18one of them has 40. But if you were to combine them
- 1:21together and make it 1, then there would be 40.
- 1:25Like let's say each one is 21 for example, or 39 for example.
- 1:29But each one by itself is not 40 SA guba and you want to combine
- 1:36them in order to make it kosher. Either combine them like you add
- 1:41each one, you combine them so that they now become bigger,
- 1:45they become 40 SA or one was kosher and one was possible.
- 1:50And you want to combine them to make it attached so that now
- 1:52they're both kosher. OK, sarik shehe nekev shebinahem
- 1:58rokhov rokhov kishwa ferret ha node.
- 2:01So one way to make it kosher is you make a hole to connect the
- 2:07two, right? They're two separate.
- 2:09We're going to see they're two separate boroughs.
- 2:11They're connected through a side wall and you want to connect
- 2:15them. So the whole must be the size of
- 2:18Kishwa Ferra Tanode. We had this many times.
- 2:21Basically you take your two fingers and you just roll them
- 2:24around and that's the size. So according to Okai I'm not, it
- 2:28would need to be at least 4 centimeters.
- 2:32And according to other opinions, it can reach close to and
- 2:35according to many of our fingers it's closer to 5 centimeters.
- 2:40So when you make a mikvah, generally speaking there always
- 2:42has it's a pipe that's the size of about two inches, 5 or 6
- 2:49centimeters, at least five. That's how they make them OK 5
- 2:53or 6 usually, sometimes more OK. So that's to connect the, the
- 2:59right the the mikvah you're dipping in with the Mayim Shuvim
- 3:02to the original Ozar or bore the from the rainwater.
- 3:06OK, so the size has to be a full circle of Kushpa ferrita node.
- 3:13So if you're going to make it square, then the walls, the
- 3:19walls of the square must be, we'll call it 5 centimeters.
- 3:23So that's 5 by 5. And yeah, so it doesn't go by
- 3:26area. It needs its full chauffeur
- 3:28Etano. Very good question.
- 3:31Now, again, we're going to see that sometimes.
- 3:34And whenever they build on mikvah, that's always how it is
- 3:36and that's what it is. But you'll we're going to see
- 3:39cases where it can be much less than chauffeur Etano.
- 3:43Basically, we're going to get to this.
- 3:44If the connection goes above the walls between the two mikvahs,
- 3:51let's say you're going to take two, we're going to see this.
- 3:54Let's say you take 2 pits and you overflow them so that on the
- 3:58top it's connected with water. Since it's connected by
- 4:02overflowing the walls, then you don't need a full area of
- 4:07Shwaferra tanode. We'll get there, but it OK.
- 4:11The other thing also is the shock points out you need
- 4:16Shwaferra tanode to connect them of Hashaka when this is the din
- 4:21of Hashaka or whenever, right? An hashaka mix is a proper kibur
- 4:27that you can combine them or one can make the other one kosher,
- 4:31right? As long as the water is clean if
- 4:32one of the waters is dirty or a different color from a masha.
- 4:35So that's previous. So yeah, which could be a
- 4:38problem. But what is the shock point out
- 4:40over here, which the Sholkhanar does say here later on is you
- 4:46need sholaferra to know if it's a Sul de arisa.
- 4:50If you have a mikvah that's hustle da raisa and a mikvah or
- 4:55it's missing and a mikvah, that's kasha right?
- 4:58You want to connect them to do hashaka on a dim da raisa, then
- 5:01we need chauferra tanod. But the mission is clear and no
- 5:05one really argues. If it's only absoul darabanan,
- 5:10then you need kehut hassera, just a masha.
- 5:14So our mikvahs baby absoul dar aisa might be absoul daraban.
- 5:20All right. We know maim shuvim if if it's
- 5:23most the shokanara and most rishonim almost all say maim
- 5:28shuvim is only a dinderabana, which we mean in our mikvahs.
- 5:32Technically it would be OK if it was only kakuta sera.
- 5:37We always build it with Shaffer to know it.
- 5:39Anyway, it's according to Urbainutam that if the entire
- 5:43mikvah is maim shuvim, that's a deraisa and the Rama says we
- 5:48should definitely pass going to follow at least like Akhila, we
- 5:51should follow the Rabinutam. So certainly according to the
- 5:55Rama, we must make our mikvahs with kushal ferrita note and
- 5:59that's that's what we do. But just point out if it's only
- 6:03an independence, as long as it's minority, depends if it's
- 6:06minority or majority, that's Rabinutam.
- 6:08If it's mayim shui mazari sidharabana.
- 6:10But OK, Hagaviki lua hamayim. Yeah, Naroka naked and the water
- 6:18flow must be must fill up that schwalferrita node, right?
- 6:23It's not only enough to have a pipe, a chauffeurrita node has
- 6:27to be full of water for for it to be hashaka.
- 6:37Now you make your kosher mikvah and sorry, you have your bore.
- 6:42Oats are the original, let's see, we'll call it oats are
- 6:46shaka. The oats are of Omega shamim,
- 6:47the bore of Omega shamim. That's your original kosher
- 6:52mikvah, right? From main water.
- 6:54We don't touch that water. We don't change that water.
- 6:56You make your other water that we go into for dipping, bore
- 6:59tavila, whatever where we dip inside and that gets that.
- 7:03We pour in the water from the faucet or really through ziria.
- 7:07But OK, the point is if we're calling that Mayim shuvim and
- 7:10we're using that mikvah as hashaka, So once you do hashaka,
- 7:15then you could close up that hole between the two mikvahs,
- 7:20keep, and then that mikvah that we make for going into, for
- 7:25dipping. That's kosher la olambad until
- 7:28you drain it and refill it up. Because you refilled it up, you
- 7:32made it, you got rid of it. But once you make it kosher with
- 7:35hashaka, it's kosher forever. Even if something happens to the
- 7:39megashamim, the bore of megashamim, you get a leak and
- 7:43all the water disappears and there's not going to be rain for
- 7:46six months. That mikva is 100% kosher.
- 7:50And that's the halacha. There's no question about it.
- 7:54Let's keep reading. 1 moment you did Hashaka Nishar la Ola
- 8:00ambachero, it's forever kosher. Afilu nistam hanekev Akharkov
- 8:07even afterwards here. So now let me mention the the
- 8:13Shah quotes the Rabenu. You're welcome.
- 8:16Very famous. I think we mentioned this in
- 8:18this year in the past that he holds no once that the mikva is
- 8:25only kosher when it's open, when that Hashaka is is actually
- 8:30happening when that pipe is open.
- 8:33But if it gets sealed off, Robinia Rokum holds it's it's
- 8:38it's puzzle the the the right, the mine Shuvi mikva that we
- 8:43made Kushar it it's no longer Kushar once it gets sealed.
- 8:48So therefore that's so that therefore we are Lekhatila.
- 8:52We're Mahmer. Well, Katrilla, we are
- 8:54definitely Mahmir. Every mithvah will always have
- 8:57that hole open. Whenever a man or woman goes to
- 9:00the mithvah, that hole must be open so that we're Mikayam.
- 9:04The din of the opinion of Rabini Aruka has to actually be active,
- 9:10otherwise that mithvah is going to not going to be kosher
- 9:12anymore. And so that is why many mikvahs
- 9:18will have a second bore or a third bore, whatever, a second
- 9:22original bore. So now you have three in the
- 9:25room. You might not see the three, but
- 9:28OK, there's really three over there.
- 9:30And the other one is what we call zrea.
- 9:33We, we explained that already. But there's the reason why the
- 9:37many mikvahs nowadays when we're extra mahamar not to make, not
- 9:43to, to rely only on the hashaka, because to be makayam the
- 9:48opinion of the urbania racham. Because what might happen when
- 9:53sometimes that middle that that pipe for hashaka gets closed,
- 9:58let's say sometimes they close it all the time so that you have
- 10:02less water interchange. Or whenever they want to empty
- 10:05the water and of the zipping water and fill up a new water,
- 10:09they might close it. So for all these reasons, there
- 10:13are times when it can get closed.
- 10:15And we're afraid if you only rely on a mikvah of Asaka that
- 10:19someone will forget to open it. So for that reason, that's the
- 10:23only reason why they make a whole nother mikvah of Otzar of
- 10:26Zuria. So that just in case, because
- 10:31just in case, according to Rabinia Rochem, if that mikvah
- 10:34kosher puzzle, if Asaka is not working.
- 10:38So that doesn't help you. So that's why we we used an
- 10:40Otzar of Zuria to make sure that you don't need it.
- 10:48The dipping mikvah got water from the Ozar Hazriya and so
- 10:52therefore you don't even need them.
- 10:54You only need one or the other. You either need an Ozar Hazriya
- 10:57or you only need an Ozar of Hashaka.
- 11:00You never need both. But in in order to be Makayam
- 11:03every shita in case it comes that one of them didn't work,
- 11:07now you have the other opinion. I'll explain again afterwards if
- 11:10it's not clear. OK, let's read inside Kaushi.
- 11:14I'm a Schwerte nodemato. I feel a Dover shuhumi briata
- 11:18maim suffik E maneka bracha chaerta nod imlav Paso.
- 11:23Anytime you have that Schwerte tanode, if that, let's say you
- 11:29originally had a Schwerte tanode, but it got sealed up
- 11:32with something and it's so even though it's originally hatch
- 11:38chauferitanode, even though it's getting sealed up, I don't know,
- 11:41dirty parts of water, whatever it is, some dirt, some crud, I
- 11:47don't know, algae, whatever is filling up that, that, that
- 11:49hole, it's mamaya chauferitanode.
- 11:53So if when you're doing hashaka, you don't have a clear clearance
- 11:57filled with water of chauffeur, ferritanode, it doesn't work.
- 12:01And right fuel diversion we bring out, even though it comes
- 12:06from the water. I don't know about everything,
- 12:07but OK. And then there's any obstruction
- 12:13will close it off again. If it was originally you had a
- 12:17shaka, then Mipaska and Mika are then olamva.
- 12:20It's a problem. You don't even need it at all.
- 12:22We're talking about you never had a moment when it was totally
- 12:25clean and open and clear. And anytime you have a case of a
- 12:28Suffolk, we have to go to La Cumra.
- 12:31If we're talking about, yeah, generally speaking, we go La
- 12:36Cumra. OK, right.
- 12:40And it depends what the situation is.
- 12:41Often the case of Shaffer, it's a Dender Isa.
- 12:45Because if it would be an only, if it would only be a case of
- 12:48Dharabana. And we learnt Kehuta Sahara is
- 12:51enough. So generally speaking, if you
- 12:53need Shaffer, it's a Dender Isa. And if it's a case of Dharabana,
- 12:57you only need a Khuta Sahara. So if it's a question, we go,
- 13:03OK. So if it depends what the case
- 13:15is, if you sometimes you can have many little holes and you
- 13:20they add up together to node that works.
- 13:24If one is Shaolin, you have at least start off with the kosher
- 13:29mikva and then you're just using and then you're using that to
- 13:33make the other mikva. As long as you have at least one
- 13:38of them kosher, then you don't need a a complete solid area.
- 13:45Let me replace it without any interruptions.
- 13:48A complete solid area node. That's only necessary if they're
- 13:54both hustler and you need to combine them to add them
- 13:57together to be 40. So then it must be completely
- 14:01open without any lines in between.
- 14:04Otherwise, if one is 100% Shalim and you're just using the other
- 14:08one, it's OK if you add up a bunch of holes.
- 14:12The motor lah por mekhlavitzad hanar valid Baba alpha piche and
- 14:16BA arbaim SE AAA ara khule mekhalkhala to unrow in akhala
- 14:25shibaniyam shamayim bahim in anar der khakho Dino me nakavim
- 14:29dakim shibakaraka have a keyboard.
- 14:31So here the Rama points out that you can even have essentially
- 14:36microscopic holes. In other words, it's a very thin
- 14:40wall between them of dirt and you see that the water is
- 14:45flowing through. I'm not exactly sure how we're
- 14:48going to know this or see this, but if you have a case where you
- 14:53know that the water is seeping right through the wall right
- 14:56through it. So then even though you might
- 14:59not see the actual holes, but you see the water flowing
- 15:02through. So then he says that's fine
- 15:05because you get all the holes together are going to be more
- 15:07than Kushal ferrets anode. But if they're both missing 2039
- 15:14and 39 or 21 and 21, for example, 8 and a Kavima Dakim in
- 15:19Star film Nakasha Ferreto notes. So for that, the little holes
- 15:23don't aren't enough to connect the 2, though I didn't in Khalaq
- 15:29Mikva bisal of Sal of a sock. If you have a Mikva and you
- 15:34divide it up with a Sal or a sock in Ainsch or a Mikva Bisat
- 15:38ekhad puzzle. If you don't, even if it's you
- 15:40have if you don't have a quiche Ferretti, another opening or you
- 15:43don't have enough on one side, then it's even though if even if
- 15:49it goes through the basket or you have like a screen both
- 15:54sides, it's not it's not. If both sides are not a sheer,
- 15:58then let's say you want to hang up a screen between the two,
- 16:02right, a bunch of fine holes. So it's not going to help you if
- 16:05both of them both sides are not dirty, but otherwise it does
- 16:09work. OK.
- 16:11Abala akshar, abala akshar mikva shalu.
- 16:14Abala akshar mikva shalu. Now you have one mikva, that's
- 16:21mahim shuvim and one mikva that's not mahim shuvim, that's
- 16:24kosher of Alpish Eno mashiko ella kissara kashir.
- 16:30So this is what I said before. As long as it's kihuta Sara,
- 16:33then that's fine. So our mikvas, according to the
- 16:36Maran Shokhanara, that's fine, you don't need kisha
- 16:39ferratanode, but according to the Roma you do.
- 16:42OK, but filo en Mei hashaka rowing pine havir, even if the
- 16:50water, right? That's what I meant to say.
- 16:52The hashaka is going through the sides of the wall or underneath
- 16:56like our miklas. So that's so then according to
- 17:00the Mahabhar, you only need kehuta Sara.
- 17:04OK, but all right with daf kabab soshi Eva shui miderabanam.
- 17:10That's what we were saying. The only time it works kehuta
- 17:13Sara is if it's a solderabana abab absul de araisa.
- 17:18Any time it's absul de araisa right be in on kisha verita
- 17:22node. Commotion is the air.
- 17:24But then you need a full area kisha verita node right?
- 17:31Well as we just mentioned before, it depends if it has to
- 17:33be congruous or not above absul. The rest we don't kisha or not
- 17:37commotion Vera feel of absul Shiva yeesh holkin vahena oila
- 17:41wrote and that's the Rama. I was saying it's the the Rama.
- 17:46The Rama is saying we should be like Hathila mahmir, like rabain
- 17:50Utam and consider our our waters and our miklas Mayim shuvim as a
- 17:55sold to Araisa and we need kishwa ferra tanod nandala koto
- 18:01shebeen shne mikvao shanista. Now let's say you have a wall
- 18:05between two miklas and you have a crack in between Mitzad
- 18:09litzad. You have a full crack, right?
- 18:11You can peek through from one side to the other.
- 18:14I feel a kosher who, even if it's just a kosher who, if it's
- 18:18so you have a crack, that's a kosher who, a thin little crack,
- 18:21a line and it's going between the two Miklas.
- 18:24So normally we say you need Kishwa Ferretanode to connect
- 18:28two Miklas here. We're going to say, wait a
- 18:30second. If it's a vertical crack,
- 18:33Leschetti can, if you look in the mission and I'm showing him
- 18:36it's a bit of a Mahalkas, but let's just let's just follow
- 18:39here. If it's Leshetti vertical, so
- 18:43then mitzvah, then it's good enough.
- 18:46You don't need Kishwa Ferret to note because it's a vertical
- 18:49crack, the La Arif. But if it's going to be La Arif,
- 18:56La Arif, oh, sorry, you're right.
- 19:00If it's Leshetti mitzharif, La Arif, Schnee hamikos la
- 19:04Hakshira, then that works the Arif.
- 19:12If it's horizontal, anum midstarfing.
- 19:16If it's a horizontal crack, then it's not.
- 19:22If it's a horizontal crack, so then it's not midstarif.
- 19:31If it's horizontal, then it must be a full area of a circle of
- 19:37we'll call it, we'll call it, I don't know, 4 or 5 centimeters,
- 19:41the EM. So what's the difference between
- 19:44Shetty and Arabs? Are the different explanations.
- 19:47The Kitzer, if it's vertical, we assume it's not going to get, we
- 19:55assume it's always going to stay.
- 19:56It's a permanent crack. And since it's a permanent crack
- 20:00and it's just a crack, we let it go and we the vertices will be
- 20:06longer than the diameter. I'm not aware that needs.
- 20:11I don't know if it needs to be. It would make sense that the
- 20:15vertical crack must be at least 4 to 5 centimeters to be a
- 20:19connection. I'm not positive, but it does
- 20:22make sense, and we'll see. Even so, more so why that's very
- 20:26it's likely to be true. I don't recall seeing anyone
- 20:28discuss that, but you'll see for going over the wall.
- 20:32It must be. It must be Fischer Ferretenot,
- 20:35like you're saying. You'll see in a moment.
- 20:37Hopefully we'll get there real soon.
- 20:39OK, at the end of the sea if y'all get there.
- 20:43So then if if it's vertical, we assume it's permanent.
- 20:47So the opening is permanent and we call that a enough for it to
- 20:50be in a roof or a shaka. If it's horizontal, the logic
- 20:58behind horizontal is we're afraid or we assume over time
- 21:02it'll collapse because it's just a hairline fracture or a thin
- 21:07fracture. It's less than sure to note as
- 21:10time like the wall, maybe dirt or stuff will end up coming down
- 21:14and seal it up. Since we're if we assume it
- 21:17might or it will close up over time.
- 21:20Therefore we assume it's sealed up right now and it's not again,
- 21:24it's it seems to be more of a Lachlan emotion you see, and I
- 21:26type it in, but that's what some of them have Farshim explained.
- 21:30OK, let's keep going. The IM nifrat takota la mala
- 21:36zeliza. So here, this is what you were
- 21:38saying. Now what happens if the wall
- 21:42between the two MI kavos or two pits, the wall breaks down and
- 21:49now the wall, the water's flowing over the wall from one
- 21:52to another. It's not through the wall, it's
- 21:55over the wall. OK, the wall gets lower than
- 21:58it's over. So then the aloka is you don't
- 22:00need a full area, a circle of 4-5 centimeters.
- 22:05All you need is the mnifratza cota lamala zemiser al room
- 22:11clipat hashum, the al rokhav Kishore ferret anode kasha.
- 22:17So then you just need it's not enough to have moisture of tofea
- 22:22Kalmanat lahatsvi. That's not enough.
- 22:25You still need a flow, but it needs to be super thin, you
- 22:30know, like a onion peel. So so still has to be mamasha
- 22:34that you can see water connecting it.
- 22:36But this thinnest amount is enough.
- 22:39But it's not can't just be Kehuta Sara.
- 22:41It does have to be since it's we're talking about Dina de
- 22:45Reisa, it still has to be Kishva Ferra Tanode.
- 22:48In other words, not the the a one line of four or five
- 22:54centimeters, right? No.
- 22:59Well, let's say they're equal. Let's keep it simple and without
- 23:01bringing in too many different scenarios.
- 23:03So it means the water is overflowing from one to another.
- 23:09They could be they could be the same 2 equal Miklas and the the
- 23:15dividing wall between them became lower so that the waters
- 23:19connecting again. There's all kinds of scenarios
- 23:21you can make up, let's just keep reading.
- 23:23Haggah the Hua dinamaya gal shalafar Ben shnea mikvos.
- 23:28Let's say you had a pillar of stones dividing up a wall of
