Transcript
- 0:00OK, good morning. We're continuing with him,
- 0:02Helkos, Mikvos, Raish, Olive and happy Hanukkah.
- 0:07We are. We're going to start with Simon
- 0:10Siif Nun. Hey.
- 0:12But before we do that, I just have to take one step back just
- 0:17to explain. I realized it may not have been
- 0:18clear. So I when you go to a nowadays
- 0:23when you go to a Amikva a good you know, Mahadra and proper
- 0:27mikvah will generally have three the three boros SO33 mikvahas, 3
- 0:36places of of water that are all mem say OK, so why so it may not
- 0:43have been totally clear. I think two of the three we
- 0:45understand one of them is the mikvah water that we go into
- 0:52that's called the Bortavila. That's where we we all go
- 0:56inside. That's what you go inside a
- 0:58mikvah, that's what you see. That's where we go inside.
- 1:01However, there often that water basically comes from the tap,
- 1:08comes from the sink water, a hose pipes, whatever it is.
- 1:13Well, Lemice, it's not a hose, but basically it comes from from
- 1:16the city tap water through pipes.
- 1:19Now that water we consider Mayim shuvim, right?
- 1:23It goes through containers, filters, I don't know, scales,
- 1:28whatever it is, we consider that Mayim Shuvim.
- 1:33So we all know that you have another mikvah that you don't
- 1:37see on the other side of the wall.
- 1:39So there's normally in a good in a good mahadrid place, you'll
- 1:43find 2 boroughs. You don't have to, but La
- 1:47Caquila, that's how they'll normally build it with two
- 1:50separate boros, 2 separate mikvos because those are the
- 1:55ones that are filled from rainwater, right?
- 1:59We can't have a mikvah of Mahim Shulu, so therefore we have the
- 2:04ones that are filled from the rain come from the roof with
- 2:08through pipes that are not macabre tuma, and they go and
- 2:13they fill up these two separate mikvos, right?
- 2:16It pours down the pipes onto a little ledge or a canal, open
- 2:21canal. So there's hamshaka, at least
- 2:24three. It flows and then it enters 2
- 2:28boros Y2. When you go into the mikvah
- 2:31yourself, you will usually be able to see two holes on the
- 2:35side of the mikvah. There's one hole below the water
- 2:40right that's covered up with water.
- 2:44Then there's another hole above the water line.
- 2:47OK, one below, 1 above. Why?
- 2:49And they're not on top of each other usually because they're
- 2:52coming from 2 separate boroughs. On the other side of the wall
- 2:56that you don't see, you have two mikvos of Memsa that are filled
- 3:01with rain water, not Mimshouvin. So both of those boroughs are
- 3:07100% kosher mikvos and one of them comes through a pipe below
- 3:15and one of them, the water can get into your the one that you
- 3:18go dipping in the Boratvila that's above the water line now
- 3:23So why do you have to have two? So each one gets each one gets
- 3:28filled from mega shamim. Now, the reason why the boar,
- 3:33the one that, why don't we just go dipping in the Borghashamim
- 3:38because where those, those are called the ozars or bores or
- 3:41mikvaos. Why don't we go in them?
- 3:42Because we want to be able to filter the water, empty the
- 3:46water, clean the place, dry it out and refill it up with clean
- 3:49water every so often. That's going to be tap water
- 3:52Mayim shelving. So you need a bore, you need at
- 3:57least one. You don't need 2, but you need
- 3:59at least one. That's a proper kosher mikva,
- 4:02100% deraisa durabanam. That'll be mashir.
- 4:06We'll make the other mikvah of maim shuvim kosher.
- 4:10So how do you do that? So one we explained that was
- 4:13mostly yesterday. Hashaka, as long as there's the
- 4:17water is touching from one to another, that's that pipe,
- 4:22that's that hole that you see in the wall below the water line.
- 4:27It's always touching, it's connected.
- 4:30It has to be big enough than a Schwferetta node.
- 4:32So they'll generally build it with a pipe that's at least a
- 4:35diameter. The hollow diameter will be 5 to
- 4:396 centimeters. And that's how you have hashaka,
- 4:44right? Since 1 is a kosher of
- 4:47megashamim, It's a mikvah. It's not a Mayan.
- 4:50It could be a Mayan, but that's not how we do it.
- 4:52And we build a mikvah with rainwater from anyways in the
- 4:56cities. So then that makes it kosher.
- 4:59Now what do we learn? Basically, according to all the
- 5:02post Kim and the Ikar halakha is if as long as it touches once
- 5:07there's a hashaka that kisses, there's a kibur, there's a
- 5:10connection from one to the other.
- 5:12Once in a lifetime you can empty out the other bore and your Bora
- 5:17mikvah will be kosher. As long as they don't empty it,
- 5:20your Bora mikvah's kosher forever.
- 5:22However, we saw or we heard that there's an opinion of Urbana.
- 5:26You're welcome. Who says wait?
- 5:28It's only kosher if it's actively open and touching.
- 5:31The water's going through and it's touching, so it has to be
- 5:33before the water below the waterline.
- 5:35If you close it up, it's no good.
- 5:38So our mikvows, as long as it's open, it's 100% kosher for
- 5:44everybody, right? Everyone agrees it's 100%
- 5:46kosher. What's the problem?
- 5:48It could be that they closed it. Let's say they close it at night
- 5:52so the water doesn't mix, or they close it at night when they
- 5:55empty sometimes that they close up that hole.
- 5:57If they're going to empty the Boratvila and refill it up with
- 6:00water, it's going to be empty and they don't want the water to
- 6:04empty out and so they close up that hole.
- 6:08So the Kashash is maybe the guy in charge of maintenance or the
- 6:12Balanita or whoever doesn't have that hole open.
- 6:16It'll be closed one time on the weekend or one night or whatever
- 6:19during the day, whatever it is, and it won't stay open.
- 6:22So therefore, according to the remaining Yurochem, you can't.
- 6:27It doesn't work. You're not taller, but she's not
- 6:29to her. We're not whatever whoever goes
- 6:30in is not to her. Again, we don't paskin like him,
- 6:34but that is a real opinion that we're Koshish for.
- 6:38So that's the reason why, because a person might have it
- 6:43closed up and if it's closed up, it's a problem for the Rainier.
- 6:48He came up with another bore that's called the Ozar Zuria.
- 6:54I'll explain it in a SEC. OK, so that's that's that one.
- 6:57Why do we have this Ozar? So that's why we have an Ozar
- 7:00Zuria in order so that even if the other one is no good, it was
- 7:04sealed, but we have another one. And then I'll explain to you why
- 7:08if you have an Ozar Azuria, why you need the the Ozar Hashaka?
- 7:13OK, So why? So what is the Ozar Azuria is we
- 7:18we learned this before. What you do is you turn on, you
- 7:22get the rain water that fills up that Ozar Azuria.
- 7:25We established that. Now what do they do?
- 7:27They turn on temple. How do you fill up your
- 7:31Bortavila? OK, I didn't want to meet
- 7:34confusing. We actually do not take a hose
- 7:37to fill up our Bortzvila or there's no berens, there's no
- 7:42faucet inside our boy. You look around, there's no
- 7:47faucet, there's no senor, there's no hole in the wall that
- 7:50shoots out water in there, right.
- 7:52At least that's that's not how it's if it has one, it's not
- 7:54used. Generally speaking, if you have
- 7:57this O tarsria, if there's no O tarsria and you only have the
- 8:00other one, it's still a kosher mikva.
- 8:01But then that's how that they can fill it up that way anyway.
- 8:06So how do you fill up if you have an Ozaria, how do you fill
- 8:11up your Bortavila? There's a beres per SE faucet, a
- 8:17hole where the water shoots out of into this little canal.
- 8:21You do Humshaka, it flows down into the Borzaria, then the
- 8:29Borzaria. If you just keep on adding
- 8:30water, what's going to happen? It's going to overflow.
- 8:33So that's that hole that you see above the waterline.
- 8:38If you overflow the bor Zeria, the water's going to overflow
- 8:43and come into into the Boratvila.
- 8:49And the purpose of oats are Zeria is that as everyone agrees
- 8:55except for the Ryvid and that's the halacha is what everyone
- 8:58agrees all that we're showing him that if.
- 9:13Got deleted. Yeah.
- 9:18OK OK, never mind. That's not it OK why do you need
- 9:25the Oatzarzria? Is if you have Oatzarzria, you
- 9:30are filling up the water and according to the halacha, except
- 9:36for the ryvid, you can pour as much water, tap water into this
- 9:41boriseria and it can overflow and it'll basically mock shear
- 9:48and matai or whatever. It'll turn all your Mayim Shih
- 9:51uvim into non Mayim Shih uvim because the Boris Ozariseria or
- 9:57Boriseria Ozariseria, it's full of it's a kosher Meg shamim and
- 10:01you can add in there tap water. You can take cups and pour in
- 10:06cups. You can take a hose.
- 10:08You can whatever you take and whatever goes in there, as long
- 10:12as it overflows and comes out, then all of that water is no
- 10:17longer called May Mayim Shuvi. What's the minimum amount of
- 10:21water in the forest? The forest also has to be memsa,
- 10:26like every every Mechwa has memsa unless it's a Mayan
- 10:29minimum, at least for people. So that's but I might say that's
- 10:33what it is. He said they're one and fine.
- 10:36So the Boris Ria is just a regular Mikvah, but it's called
- 10:41a Boris Ria because you're using that to be mataher Mayim Shuvim
- 10:46that I now fill up your mikvah and then you can close off.
- 10:49You don't have to have a Shaka. You can close off.
- 10:52You can empty out your bore. Your oats are ziria.
- 10:56You can throw it away and you can throw away.
- 11:01You can throw away. You don't, you don't.
- 11:04You can throw away all your other Boras and the Bora Tavila
- 11:08as long as it became kosher through Zuria, everybody holds
- 11:14that's that's a fine Nikla. But the rive it has a problem
- 11:19that if you add enough water to the Bora Zuria that you end up
- 11:27diluting Kailu, it pushes out the mega Shamim.
- 11:31And if you add more water and too much water in there,
- 11:34eventually the Borzuria or the Ozuria turns into Mayim Shuvim
- 11:39itself. So that's the Homer of the
- 11:43Ryvid. So in order to be yose for the
- 11:46Ryvid, we have the Bora Hashaka. And if you have a Bora only a
- 11:50Bora says that's why. If you only have the Bora
- 11:54Hashaka, then that will help you for the so then each one helps
- 11:59you. So if you have both boros,
- 12:02according to Alshitas, you're 100% good between the two of
- 12:06them, even if the Bora shackle would have been closed when she
- 12:10when she or someone goes in there.
- 12:12So that's the purpose of why you need both.
- 12:16OK, now let's see. Done Hay inside.
- 12:20I don't even know what time we're on anymore.
- 12:22You'll tell me when to stop. OK, None.
- 12:26Hay, 20 minutes. All right, 12 minutes so far.
- 12:31OK, so we'll go another 12. So Shawn Mikvoshi Bishname
- 12:35Shanaya Mahem Miko Ekhad S stream sale mayim Cher.
- 12:39Now you have two separate mikvos, right?
- 12:42So far we're assuming they're both kosher water, but there's
- 12:45not enough. There's only 20 and you need 40.
- 12:49We'll be ekhad mayim S stream sale mayim ship one second.
- 12:54So you have three of them. They're all 20.
- 12:56Two of them are Mega Shamim Shree Meya Mahim Shuvim, but one
- 13:03of them is a Shreem Seya of Mahim Shuvim, their own name
- 13:09Zerbitsadze. So the two kosher, the 2 mega
- 13:13shamim ones, rainwater ones are next to each other.
- 13:17E masha UV min hatsad. Well, they're all next to each
- 13:20other, but let me explain. They're all next to each other
- 13:23and they're all connected. Let's assume right now with a
- 13:28schwaferra tanode, right? So they're always next to each
- 13:31other. Three separate boroughs, but
- 13:34they're all connected. EMA, show me netsad, if the
- 13:39Mayim Shuvi 1 is on one of the two ends, the yardu shlosha
- 13:47vitavu baham umitaka nitmaluviatsu al swatimarbu
- 13:51yahad. OK, OK, sorry.
- 13:57There's no pipe in between them. If there were to be a pipe in
- 14:02between all three, then it would have been fine of a of a, a
- 14:05chauffeur etar node because that's a hibor and you have the
- 14:09Mayim Mega Shamim connected to the Mega Shamim and then Mayim
- 14:13Shuvim on the side. Now they all become kosher.
- 14:16Assuming that you connected the 2.
- 14:18With. The the the rainwater mix is.
- 14:23No, I don't think, I don't think the order matters.
- 14:26It could be in any order. So yeah, that doesn't possible
- 14:32it if you were to take Schlosser Lugium and to pour it into one,
- 14:38it can possible it, but if it's only a shotgun, it's not going
- 14:41to possible that's not. So here we go.
- 14:45What's this case? There is no pipe connecting all
- 14:48of them, but when three people go in at the same time, it makes
- 14:53the the right water displacement.
- 14:55All the water rises and then they're connected because it
- 14:59goes over the the wall that's in between each one of the of the
- 15:03of these boros. Let me close.
- 15:06So then because the water overflows, now they're all
- 15:09touching up on top, right? It needs to be at least a width
- 15:13of Schoferata node and only a thin layer, right?
- 15:18Like a peel of an onion. We saw that we need arbu, yahad
- 15:24hook shirouche, loeshtam. Then they're all kosher.
- 15:27Why K von chevepa mahas how you make a bar in Bahad since at one
- 15:32time they're all connected. Arbaim semayim cheering.
- 15:35As long as you have arbaim SE ah connected at one time, those are
- 15:39kosher. And that'll make the Mayim shoe
- 15:41be 1 kosher and then the mayim. And then even if a person comes
- 15:45out of one of the rainwater ones, since the other two are
- 15:49touching and there are 40 all together, then it's still
- 15:53kosher. OK, let's keep going on, right?
- 15:57Because once it became kosher, it's always kosher, right?
- 15:59With hashaka. And so we learn Ricard in that's
- 16:02what the Shah Khanar Baskins, the otam Shitabu Bahim Toharim,
- 16:08and if you went into that mikvah then and any one of those 3
- 16:12mikovos, all three people are kosher or not.
- 16:15Tahor. However, if the maim Shouvim 1
- 16:22is in the middle, so the two mega shamim ones can't touch
- 16:25directly, ain't shanayama sheree Mokhalim Darev El Ayado except
- 16:31through the maim Shirou. It doesn't help.
- 16:34It's not kosher. All three mikvas are not kosher.
- 16:37Either Bismayim Shulvim or Bizerznot 40 SE ella nisharu
- 16:41komoshihayu tequila. Those people stay the same as
- 16:44they were before. Or the mikvos are the same
- 16:46status as they have before, Not kosher.
- 16:48The otam chitabu ibahem Lonitaru and those who were inside of
- 16:52them are not Tar Nunvov. She named mikvos shell estream
- 16:56estream, Estream seia. You have two mikvos and they're
- 16:59both 2020. Each one has 20 Ekhad Shauva,
- 17:03Ekhad Kashir 1 is Shauva and one is Kashir Yaar du Shenayen, the
- 17:07Hishikum. Now two people, a person went
- 17:11into each one of them and now they're connected, Vitav ubahem
- 17:17and they went into the mikvah. I feel a dooming the the
- 17:21helbrinum olavanim, the Hadimum, even if one of them is red
- 17:26water. Again, we'd learned before about
- 17:29Shinoyumara. It depends.
- 17:32Let's assume it's not an issue. So if it doesn't matter, even if
- 17:38they're a little bit of a different colour or clear, then
- 17:41it's still it's still connects. Let me close Kamucha.
- 17:47Oh, oh, sorry, Hamikavos Kamot Shahayu Bertuvlim kamot shahayu.
- 17:55So it doesn't work because you don't want to have 40 Sara with
- 18:02a kosher mekla. What does the colour?
- 18:07Do that it. Didn't ruin.
- 18:14It didn't ruin it, even though yeah it it.
- 18:17Changed the colour, but it doesn't ruin the.
- 18:20Original status, it doesn't right.
- 18:21It doesn't ruin the original status, but the problem is it's
- 18:26it's not OK. You don't have a mem cell of
- 18:30megashamin, so that doesn't help.
- 18:32OK, Yeah, OK, let's do an enzyme call.
- 18:47Hama ureva mikva arehu ke mikva U matabilin Bo.
- 18:52Any time you have mikva that's getting connected, then and so
- 18:57then if it's if one of them is kosher, then generally speaking,
- 19:01they're all going to be kosher. Let's see, for example, gumotas
- 19:06mukholafi ha mikva luma comraglie parsos behema shyu
- 19:10beheme mim mikva. So let's say you have next to a
- 19:15kosher mikva of mem sale kosher mikva Omega shaman.
- 19:19Next to it you have these other pits that collect water.
- 19:24I don't know. It could be any puddles puddles.
- 19:28It could be puddles that are meant special on purpose or you
- 19:31use them to wash the feet of your animals.
- 19:34Whatever it is, any kind of a puddle next to a mikvah, but
- 19:39it's yeah, the animals and step into it.
- 19:43OK. Or they make the puddles,
- 19:44whatever the case might be. Then you have these puddles next
- 19:48to a kosher mikvah. So if it's connected, if you you
- 19:53build a connection sideways, you you dig a ditch sideways, it has
- 20:00to be. And if it's Kishwafera Tahnod,
- 20:03Madibilian Baham, as long as it's connected sideways, it has
- 20:08to be a full area of Schwafera Tahnod, right?
- 20:12A full circle. If it would be over any time
- 20:15you're going through the sideway walls of two separate gumos, it
- 20:20has to be Chafera Tahnod connecting if.
- 20:25And we're going to see in the next case, but in this case, if
- 20:28it over, if it went overflowing over the walls, then that's when
- 20:32it only needs to be a very thin layer.
- 20:35But if it's going sideway through the walls, even if
- 20:38there's it's open, you can see it, it still needs to be
- 20:42schiferate tanode, but it's going sideway through the walls.
- 20:45If it's going over the walls, then it's different.
- 20:48Now we have to see this one together.
- 20:51Jori. Oh, I skip.
- 20:54Sorry. Huga klea munach bitsada mikva
- 20:59minanea biado ha mikva. OK, fine.
- 21:01Let me just say so in these little puddles.
- 21:04Now it comes very useful. Let's say you have a needle, you
- 21:09want a kasha. Let's say you have a fork.
- 21:11You want a kasha. And you're afraid to kasha it in
- 21:14the mikvah because it might fall out of slip out of your fingers
- 21:20and then go to the bottom and then you can't get it anymore.
- 21:23So these are very useful. You want to use these puddles,
- 21:26all right? It's a way of, you know,
- 21:28protecting your stuff so it doesn't get lost if it's false.
- 21:31So that's why you want to be able to use.
- 21:33That's why it's important. It could be important.
- 21:36So let's let's that leads to the Rama.
- 21:39The Rama is a similar case. Let's say on the side of the
- 21:42mikvah you have, let's say steps going into the mikvah or
- 21:46whatever the key or a puddle, whatever it is.
- 21:49So you don't want to put it all the way in the mikvah.
- 21:52You want to just put it down on a step or AI don't know.
- 21:56Not a puddle that's not completely full, but doesn't
- 21:59cover up your fork. Kuya munak mitzada mikvah you
- 22:03right next to the mikvah. You can put your kuy next to it.
- 22:07Minania biado, a mikvah And then you can like splash around the
- 22:11water a little bit, push it to the side.
- 22:14You're not lifting up the water, you're just moving the water
- 22:18sideways. So it's not going out of the
- 22:19water, it's not jumping out, you're just moving it sideways.
- 22:24And then the water's going to come back inside, right.
- 22:26Because we, we want a case generally and speaking, to avoid
- 22:31the issue of zocalin, the water has to be where it's in its
- 22:34natural state, going inside the water.
- 22:37We learnt just obviously anytime you go inside the water, water's
- 22:41going to move to the side because you went in there.
- 22:44It's going to trickle away, whatever it is.
- 22:46That's not called my, that's not called zocalin, That's not going
- 22:48to be an issue. And so to here, just moving your
- 22:51hands to push the water to the side a little bit is not going
- 22:53to turn it into zocalin because you're doing that yourself.
- 22:56It's not happening by itself and it's going to come right back
- 22:59into the same area. Even if it's natural and it
- 23:01comes back into the same area, that might not be a problem for
- 23:05the zocalin. OK, so you put it next to it and
- 23:10you, I don't want to use the word splash because it's not.
- 23:12You're not splashing water outside.
- 23:14You're pushing the water to the side.
- 23:16Kadeshiya segalba mime. You make a little bit of like a
- 23:19wave, the alvoral Gabe a cleave, and then it completely covers
- 23:23the cleave. Let's fila, and that's fila is
- 23:25100% good. It'll be alvaad shuliya, koraga
- 23:29and como as long as it doesn't come out of the water.
- 23:31El yahe mehubar la nikla and therefore, even if it's and
- 23:35therefore and that's not called and it's still called Ashbourne,
- 23:38it's not a problem and it's playing space and it's and it's
- 23:42important that it's doesn't jump out because if it jumps out then
- 23:46it's only going to be kosher if it's a Mayan and here we're
- 23:48dealing with a Mikla. OK, let's do one more, at least
- 23:53one more 2323. OK, we'll do one more because
- 23:56this is important. Khure Amara ustake hameara now
- 24:04are over here, right? It means a cave.
- 24:07But actually here it means a mikvah because in those days,
- 24:11mikvahos were generally they use mikvahos in caves.
- 24:15Sometimes it's Senua. You know, if you have a choice,
- 24:18you're always going to go in a cave.
- 24:19It's like a closed room. So that's why in the lesson of
- 24:23the Mishnah, amera is sometimes referred to as a mikvah.
- 24:26So here you have a mikvah. It could be in a cave or not a
- 24:29cave. That's not doesn't matter, but
- 24:31you have little crevices, little jet outs, a little cracks on the
- 24:36side of your of the mikvah in The Cave or whatever it is
- 24:41protrusions. So even though they're small
- 24:44much beeling Behem, you let it dip or put your dishes inside
- 24:47these little crevices or little jet outs.

- 24:58like encased in Ensign known Zine.
- 25:01You're having a separate bore. It's a separate puddle, it's
- 25:04blocked by a wall. And therefore to connect two
- 25:08separate pits, you have to have a connection through a wall of
- 25:14chaferetanode or over the wall, at least a wide chaferetanode.
- 25:19But as long as it's considered one pit, even though you have
- 25:23protrusions, it's the same pit and you only need Kosheru
- 25:27kutasara and that's it.
