Yoreh De’ah 201:1-3. Mikvaos: Introduction; Size, Flowing Zochalin Vs Still Ashboren; Sheuvin · SHULCHAN ARUCH YOMI: Own the Halacha in 25 minutes a day!

• 0:00
  OK, good morning. We are continuing.
• 0:02
  We're starting Hiljos MI Kavalas Simon Raish Aleph and DNA
• 0:08
  Hamikva Umaimov. We're just going to start right
• 0:11
  away with CIF Aleph and the Shokanar will suffice as his own
• 0:17
  intro to Hiljos MI kvos. Here we go in Haisha Ola Mitu
• 0:21
  Mata Berezza Bamerhas. Right?
• 0:24
  We all know this. A woman can't go into a bath and
• 0:28
  be kosher tahara from her tuma filu alu alaya.
• 0:32
  Call me Mocha Balam, even if you have all the water in the world
• 0:36
  poured on you. Adaigni petuma TA quandala.
• 0:40
  She's still in 100% petuma. And if she goes with the man
• 0:44
  vekhayevim alea karate and she's hayev karis, right?
• 0:47
  If she's a Nida or zava aja titbol ko gufa bevatahat the
• 0:53
  Allah is clear. Anyone who needs to go to the
• 0:55
  mikvah must go in their entire body, their all, their body and
• 1:00
  all their hair all together all at once.
• 1:02
  OK, that's a dintara, very simple beme mikva, but in a must
• 1:09
  be in a mikva O or an O or an AO Mayan, a spring of water, Shyesh
• 1:17
  Baham or Bahim seal, and it must be 40 seal.
• 1:22
  Is that a waterfall? A waterfall counts.
• 1:25
  It's a kosher Mikva if it's a Mayan, if it's from rainwater,
• 1:30
  we're going to get to it's a problem of zocalin.
• 1:32
  But if it's Mayan is if it's a spring water.
• 1:36
  Now we all know all water starts the whole circular, right?
• 1:40
  It's we have water underground and we have water in the shamine
• 1:44
  and it just right. It just recirculates,
• 1:46
  circulates, whatever it's called.
• 1:48
  The water starts out when it's the fresh, when it rains.
• 1:51
  That rainwater we're going to see the difference has a status
• 1:55
  of rainwater, and it's only kosher if it's in a still bore.
• 2:00
  But that water gets Niva. It gets absorbed into the
• 2:04
  ground, and then when it comes, it comes out of the ground also.
• 2:08
  It turns that water, that same rainwater, believe it or not, it
• 2:11
  turns into the spring water. And that spring water is now a
• 2:15
  Mayan. So it's that same water, same
• 2:17
  H2O, but has two different statuses based on where it comes
• 2:21
  from to our naked eye, right? Or to whatever.
• 2:25
  Sheesh. Bahen Arbeam saah has to have
• 2:27
  arbeam saah. And if it's missing a mash,
• 2:30
  kosher. Who of the 40s saah, right?
• 2:32
  That's the 40s, that was Sahalakala Moshe Mussini,
• 2:35
  basically. We're going to get to that, but
• 2:37
  it's OK, It must be 40s saah. Now the truth is, I think we're
• 2:42
  going to say it, but Mina Torah, if it's a Mayan, A kosher who is
• 2:47
  enough, neither a bannon for a human, it needs to be 40 SE a
• 2:53
  even a Mayan mider Aisa kolshu's enough again, this good to
• 2:57
  review all this and he'll close me close.
• 2:59
  It's just one more second. But anyways, let's go on.
• 3:03
  But that's but la maisa. For us, it means 40 SE a
• 3:08
  vishituram amma. But if it's a Mayan for kalim,
• 3:12
  kolshu is enough. We'll see that opposed can point
• 3:15
  out vishi uram AMA al AMA room shalosh almat vimaru BA.
• 3:23
  I'll keep reading. Now, Khazal say, what is the
• 3:27
  shir Allahu almashimi? Sinai is 1 by 1 by 3 amas.
• 3:31
  OK, all right, It's it's a volume.
• 3:35
  Now, what kind of an AMA? Normally we're used to using an
• 3:38
  AMA which is 6 * 4 fingers. That's both but AMA.
• 3:43
  But Shisha Tsvahim Vekhetzi atspah.
• 3:46
  But there's two kinds of an AMA one's sokha coat, smiley ones
• 3:51
  and the odds odds to vote the more sad ones, which means are
• 3:55
  your fingers spread apart? Like when you smile, you're more
• 3:59
  extend your your lips more. So anyways, do you right.
• 4:04
  So is there a little bit of a airspace a tiny bit between each
• 4:07
  finger or not? And so that'll make the
• 4:09
  difference if in every right and there's six fuck him in an AMA
• 4:14
  and in each tafaq you have 4 etzpah oats, but it's either 4
• 4:17
  right near, you know, smushed together or with a little bit of
• 4:20
  revach. So normally when you go with
• 4:22
  four exactly, but here it's four points.
• 4:27
  As he says, shisha tsfahim vahetzi etzpah.
• 4:31
  For every AMA or shisha tsfahim, you get an extra half of an
• 4:36
  etzmo, which according to our Khaimna is a centimeter.
• 4:40
  The IM Hu Rahab yutair, the Eno gavoa coca kashir.
• 4:46
  Now it's all based on volume. So it doesn't have to be 3 high,
• 4:49
  3 almost high. Your mikvah could be one AMA
• 4:51
  high, but then it needs to be 3 wide, right?
• 4:54
  It just has to be the volume. So it could be in any, any shape
• 4:58
  kashir, provided that a person can get their entire body in
• 5:06
  there. Now 1 by 1 by 3 is really
• 5:08
  considered the minimum. That's where the sheer comes
• 5:11
  from, has considered the minimum size a person can fit into.
• 5:15
  But practically speaking, it's a little bit difficult because you
• 5:18
  have to like fit exactly. But anyways, that's the sheer
• 5:22
  with sarik, Shialevitish, Borat, mehndalid elif, the kuf yerhat
• 5:27
  ET spa OTT, the godal gudal, the OT hetzi etzpa.
• 5:32
  So the Sholkhanar does the calculation for us, right?
• 5:36
  It's what was it 4 * 20 * 6, but it's but it's 24.5 because it's
• 5:46
  an extra and you do that 24 * 24 that's the one by 1 + 3 * 24
• 5:54
  which is like 70 something. And so you do that all together,
• 5:58
  you end up with exactly his #44,118 and as our Gershon
• 6:03
  pointed out is 375. But he rounds off to 1/2 and
• 6:07
  that's, that's the then you so you need to have cubic X about
• 6:13
  how many 44,118 1/2. Now if you turn that into
• 6:19
  centimeters or liters, you have to times it by 8 because it's
• 6:25
  2cm and it's cubed. So 2 * 2 * 2 is going to be 8.
• 6:29
  So 8 * 84 A 44,000 comes out to 300, about 353 liters and or
• 6:38
  about 93 gallons. So if you look it up, most will
• 6:42
  say no, the mikvah, the minimum size of the mikvah ranges from
• 6:48
  353 to 750 liters or 93 to 200 gallons based on or the
• 6:55
  Khazanish. OK, so obviously we always try
• 6:58
  and have the bigger sheer, no questions, but OK, it depends
• 7:02
  what's available with Sarik, Shia Karitz, Shabo Hamayim,
• 7:07
  Gaddol, Yoter Mishiuraze. Obviously, he says the your
• 7:12
  bore, your pit, your pool, whatever it is, should be bigger
• 7:15
  than that sheer so that you have enough for that water to be in
• 7:20
  the Kadeshi Kanessa Toba because you need to be able to go in
• 7:26
  there and you still have that water, right.
• 7:28
  If you were to have a pit that's exactly that shear and it's
• 7:30
  filled up with water, as soon as you go in there, well, half the
• 7:33
  water's going to fall right out or most of the water's going to
• 7:36
  come right out. And then when you then when you
• 7:38
  look around, there's no water left.
• 7:40
  So OK, so it needs to be bigger than that, obviously.
• 7:42
  OK, let's get to that. Name my gun matarium Afbe
• 7:48
  Zukhalim. No, the spring water, it's an
• 7:52
  attire even by zohalin. Even if it's in a stream, it's
• 7:56
  moving water as if it's flowing water.
• 7:58
  Parish Zohalin in Shakin the Hokin the Anna Mehluna SIM
• 8:02
  right? It's moving and it's not
• 8:04
  gathered in one still place. So that's what Zochlin, where we
• 8:08
  see the word Zochlin refers to that.
• 8:10
  And so therefore you can, if you have a source of water, a
• 8:15
  spring. So then it's OK if it's moving,
• 8:18
  it's OK if it's a waterfall and it's, and then as long as you're
• 8:22
  completely immersed in it at one time, then you're, it's kosher.
• 8:26
  Technically a waterfall's going to be hard to get your whole
• 8:28
  body in there, but it's technically, but it is, it is
• 8:31
  possible, as we'll see even by a way we say it's possible.
• 8:36
  I don't know if it's just theoretical or really, but
• 8:38
  anyways, Omega, how practical, Omega Shamim ayn matarin ella
• 8:42
  bhash borin. Now rain water right when, if
• 8:46
  you're cut right once it hits the rain or turns into snow and
• 8:49
  lands on the mountains and then melts and then comes down.
• 8:51
  So this is called megashamim. We'll get to snow later.
• 8:55
  It helps us with my shooving. But here we're talking about
• 8:58
  megashamim. It's, it's only way it's kosher
• 9:02
  to be matar as a mikvah is if it's still can't be a moving
• 9:05
  body of water has to be completely still.
• 9:08
  Well, then we're going to get into a little more details of
• 9:10
  that, but basically you have to be able to look at it and you
• 9:13
  can't see any movements at what point, how much is allowed?
• 9:18
  It's a discussion. I'm not sure if we'll get into
• 9:20
  there or not. If it's completely insignificant
• 9:22
  and you cannot recognize it. So then at some point it's not a
• 9:26
  problem. For example, you can have a
• 9:29
  mikvah in the ground, right? You dig out, you dig out the
• 9:33
  dirt and you turn it into a mikvah.
• 9:35
  It's true. You leave it there over a number
• 9:37
  of days, besides the evaporation factor, some of it will slowly,
• 9:42
  slowly sleep, seep into the ground.
• 9:44
  That's not a problem. That's a postgame they were
• 9:47
  showing him say is not an issue, but more than that is when it
• 9:50
  becomes a real problem. And so a question.
• 9:55
  But anyways, bottom line has to be completely still.
• 9:58
  So if you go to a river, so then it's important to know if the
• 10:02
  river is spring water or rainwater because the river is
• 10:06
  flowing. So if you want to use that for
• 10:07
  rainwater, we're going to get to Yamima.
• 10:09
  Hopefully we will get there inside and we'll discuss that
• 10:12
  soon. The lotion of ash boring will
• 10:14
  perish. Maqam Almok should be the
• 10:16
  khanskin Bo hamai vanicra ash boring.
• 10:19
  So that's just an expression. You have to know that word.
• 10:21
  Where does that word come from? In that word is the word bor,
• 10:24
  but I didn't see anyone talk about that.
• 10:26
  But I did see they say is it's Milashon Shvira.
• 10:29
  It has the shin over there. Shvira get cracks in the ground
• 10:33
  and then the water flows through the cracks and they meet up and
• 10:35
  they end up in some kind of a into the carca mikva mine where
• 10:39
  it gathers. So that's where the expression,
• 10:41
  the word ashbouran comes from. Haggah ABBA Ayede Zahila
• 10:46
  absuliminatara. Now this is absul dereissa.
• 10:48
  It's not not Derebana about rainwater.
• 10:52
  If it's moving, that must be completely still.
• 10:55
  I am Haim Lahood below Mayan unless it's mixed with a Mayan.
• 10:58
  We're going to get into that later.
• 11:00
  Here we are. If the zokling that means spring
• 11:07
  water mixes up with note theme. Note theme by definition just
• 11:10
  means rainwater. Hireya, Kobe, Mayan, the Kodova.
• 11:15
  So then it all becomes like a Mayan because there's there's
• 11:19
  more Zokhalin, more Mei Mayan than megashamin.
• 11:24
  So that's 100% no problem. It needs to be Rove.
• 11:31
  So the discussion about that and it may be an more of an issue
• 11:36
  there abandoned, but as long as it's Rove, it's a problem it has
• 11:39
  then it cannot we we're going to get into that.
• 11:43
  Shaka helps you and it makes a keyboard.
• 11:47
  I'll just say it right now, miss, I'm not sure if it's
• 11:49
  she'll get there. And since you mentioned it,
• 11:51
  we're going to get into a concept of Schwferet hanode,
• 11:54
  Chaufeeret Hanode as we had this before.
• 11:57
  It's an opening, right? What does it literally mean?
• 12:00
  It's a node. It's a leather canteen they used
• 12:02
  to have, right? They didn't have plastic
• 12:03
  canteens and it was a leather canteen.
• 12:05
  And how do they fill it up? We might use a funnel.
• 12:08
  They had a tube. You put in a Schwferet, a tube.
• 12:11
  The standard tube in those days is the amount to turn your two
• 12:17
  fingers, your pointer and your middle finger and you rotate it.
• 12:23
  So it has to have a little bit of give, can't be too tight.
• 12:25
  And that's the shear. So generally speaking, the
• 12:28
  minimum shear in the post scheme was is probably about four
• 12:32
  centimeters. I mean that is what it is
• 12:34
  approximately. But Lamais said we usually to
• 12:38
  be. I'd say we use the minimum
• 12:41
  according to be to be, I'd say cola Deos.
• 12:44
  It's very important. And what most fingers are
• 12:47
  nowadays is it must be 5 centimeters.
• 12:51
  That's what that's what if you go to any mikvah, they're going
• 12:53
  to be between 5, usually between 5:00 and 6:00 of Davidovich
• 12:57
  usually likes to make it closer to 6, but it's always 5 minimum.
• 13:01
  Sometimes he says he likes to do 7.
• 13:03
  But you can't always choose the size because you go to a
• 13:05
  hardware store and buy the pipes that exist.
• 13:07
  So you have to work what's what's what's there.
• 13:10
  OK, So anyways, minimum in a in a mix, what you're going to see
• 13:14
  is five Emir of Gilman hopefully point out to you why there's a
• 13:17
  couple holes in the wall, not just one.
• 13:20
  We'll see. That's we're not that's related.
• 13:23
  I'm just, I'm just OK, so where are we?
• 13:32
  I'll refer to a note. Refer to a note.
• 13:34
  When you have that opening, it makes it where when you have
• 13:38
  between 2:00 bodies of water, that opening, if it's filled
• 13:42
  with water, it makes a connection and it makes a
• 13:44
  complete keyboard. You can have a half a mikvah and
• 13:47
  a half a mikvah, like 20 and 20 and it's connected.
• 13:51
  Then it now you have a kosher mikvah.
• 13:53
  You just have to physically be able to fit in there, like you
• 13:55
  can put a dish in there, but so that works if there are times
• 14:00
  we're not going to get into it, but there are times when it
• 14:02
  could even be kosher. If it's 100% kosher, Mikvah,
• 14:06
  minatara, A-40 SA, sometimes you can have a khuta Sara that's a
• 14:11
  mishnah, just a connection of just a mashu, and that'll make
• 14:15
  it so it's kosher. If it's absolute means they're
• 14:18
  abundant, but whatever for all practice practical purposes in
• 14:22
  most situations, the sheer for connecting is always going to be
• 14:25
  shful. Ferrets Hanode.
• 14:27
  So OK, Harry, what was that right fine.
• 14:35
  The thing in Rabu may be Shabbimo Maya, not here, but now
• 14:38
  what if the the rain water is more than then in the river,
• 14:42
  then the springs enum mitharium mizocaline so it can no longer
• 14:46
  help you for zocaline. Again, the right says it's
• 14:50
  Mahlok because we've shown you how to deal with it.
• 14:52
  But and it might be kosher, but it's still but it needs to be
• 14:57
  the ashborn when it goes after rouve.
• 15:00
  At least that's for the halacha of if it's has to be Boshborn or
• 15:03
  if it could still be flowing Lithika sarit la haqif mapat
• 15:08
  perushka in Mahedzalit. So let's say you go to a river,
• 15:18
  right? You go to a river and you're
• 15:20
  you're afraid or you know that most of the water comes from
• 15:24
  rainwater, right? So then you have a problem.
• 15:26
  What do you do? So the based on the Rambam, I'll
• 15:30
  just quick reminder, I'll point it out.
• 15:31
  It's based on the Gemara of the Shabbos.
• 15:33
  Some like, hey, about Abu Adeshmua with the moppots.
• 15:36
  So we had a three times the moppots.
• 15:38
  So again, it's a whole Maklokas Rishonian.
• 15:40
  What is the moppots talking about?
• 15:42
  And it's not according to all opinions, but the Shokanak
• 15:46
  brings all three. You have a moppots to step on so
• 15:48
  you don't get muddy, right? We learned that by Khatsitza.
• 15:51
  You had a moppots for Tsidius and she's going to dip in the
• 15:54
  mikvah and she's by the the port and all the guys are watching.
• 15:57
  So you have to make a mahita. Here's another perush which the
• 16:00
  Shokanak brings Alaka is if you're in a river and it's
• 16:05
  flowing. So what do you do?
• 16:08
  You you know, obviously it depends on the situation, but
• 16:12
  it's if the current isn't too strong, then maybe it juts out a
• 16:15
  little bit. You take a mop pot, take a take
• 16:18
  a wall, take, I don't know, take you know, can be use gavis
• 16:22
  walls. You can take a mop pots and you
• 16:24
  put it up around you and that'll stop the flow around you and
• 16:29
  it'll turn the water inside where you are into a Anashboran
• 16:34
  where the water is still. So that's what he's telling you
• 16:36
  to do. You're going to ask me how's it
• 16:38
  possible? So I'll just point out because
• 16:40
  we learned you can't see any moving water.
• 16:43
  So we hold you can't see any moving water.
• 16:45
  But it's a more like that. We've shown him how much water
• 16:48
  can it be a little bit moving from the side through a crack.
• 16:52
  And also the grub points out he must be talking about the season
• 16:58
  where it's, I mean, the Gamar talks about there's two seasons.
• 17:00
  I won't get in into all the details, but the grot just
• 17:02
  points out it's talking about a case where the flow of the river
• 17:07
  is very minor because if it's a strong current, you put up a
• 17:10
  moppots, the water's going to run right through you.
• 17:13
  It's talking about a case where there's a very low current and
• 17:17
  therefore if you put up a moppots on the side, you put up
• 17:19
  some kind of a barrier. It'll it can make the water
• 17:22
  where you're standing not move and then then we're good.
• 17:26
  OK, again, not everyone holds of this, but it's OK, it's here.
• 17:31
  And so one should teach to be Mahmir that any time you're in a
• 17:35
  river that has water for Megashamim, you don't you don't
• 17:40
  use it unless you put this up about Yeshmatiri and some say,
• 17:44
  wait a second, it's mutter, it's Bulba naharat kola Shana
• 17:49
  Akashamim. Let's say during the year, this
• 17:53
  river flows all year long. But now, you know, it's right
• 17:57
  after the rainy season and there's a much stronger current
• 17:59
  and you see the level of the river is higher.
• 18:02
  So you know right now that there's so much more water here
• 18:05
  because of the rainwater, even more rainwater than the natural
• 18:09
  spring water, like there is some spring, but it's a mixture.
• 18:14
  So what do you do even though now it's the even though there's
• 18:25
  more rainwater than right, the more than spring water, even if
• 18:30
  you know there's more, it's still mutter, right?
• 18:33
  That's that's the make of the opinion.
• 18:34
  He says you shouldn't rely on it, but you could.
• 18:36
  I mean, there's what to be so much on Mishom, the Ikar Guido
• 18:41
  Hanar hoob in Macoro because the main water comes from under the
• 18:46
  ground. In other words, if there's more
• 18:49
  rainwater, there's also we're going to be more spring water
• 18:53
  because spring water comes from the rain.
• 18:57
  So even though but you you you think it's all because of
• 19:00
  rainwater, We're assuming that a lot of the rainwater turns into
• 19:05
  spring water because it goes gets absorbed into the mountain
• 19:07
  and the springs are also getting stronger.
• 19:10
  So that's the OK, the EN limchote biada noagi mahakil.
• 19:15
  So one should not be against, one should not speak up against
• 19:20
  those who are meikiel keishla hamashi samokhu Miu yeeshli
• 19:23
  zaravinzuo banara haminta Vela gamre al ya dehagshami.
• 19:27
  But if you have a river that's dried up and now you know, so
• 19:32
  you see, there's that that shows you there's really no spring
• 19:34
  water. The only reason why you have
• 19:36
  water now is because of the rain.
• 19:37
  So then that's a real problem. That's going to be puzzle for
• 19:40
  sure. We'll call it the Postech
• 19:44
  Legamre. But if the water isn't
• 19:45
  completely and there's always some water there, Alpha Peschar,
• 19:48
  Nara, Shofi Latocha, even though there are other rivers that are
• 19:51
  going into there, We shot the Geschamim, Amitava yada and
• 19:55
  becomes more water, Niko Malcolm Hoyolu, Postech Legamre.
• 20:00
  But if it does stop completely, so then it's us Elito Bodera.
• 20:05
  And it's us there to use it while it's a flow because rain
• 20:09
  water cannot be kosher mikvah if it's flowing.

  Aachi yiku amayim shibetoku until all comes together of

  Even though it gets bigger. Mutter as we said before.

  Elite bobo Nicole Malcolm lafiz savartha make helium lafi mashen

  nagu. OK, you can.
• 20:31
  Yeah, Yeah. If you're the Michael opinion,
• 20:35
  OK, I want to just do a couple more Gilmo arba in Sasha
• 20:38
  Amritsar, actually a shuvim. Now this is a big topic.
• 20:42
  Mime Shuvim water that you picked up for with a cleat.
• 20:46
  Again, we're not going to all the filters and all these other
• 20:49
  things. It's a whole discussion.
• 20:51
  We're Mahomer, generally speaking, for all these things.
• 20:53
  But just plain pipes, that's not a problem.
• 20:56
  Plain pipes that aren't where there's no containers and no
• 20:59
  filters. That's not a problem.
• 21:02
  Like if you get a pipe from the roof that brings the water
• 21:05
  straight into the mikva, that's not going to be a problem of
• 21:08
  Mayim Shuvi. Mayim Shuvi means you picked it
• 21:11
  up with a clean OK and now so water can't be Mayim Shuvi Shuvi
• 21:18
  then it's sewing now Rama mostly showing him say that's only
• 21:22
  absul me Deraba none. So that's so that you don't come
• 21:26
  to go into a mikva inside a bathtub.
• 21:29
  The but the the being the Tom and and the Rama paskins, the
• 21:34
  Iim call mikva he shuva impossible Minotaur.
• 21:36
  But if the entire mikva is Mayim shuvaim, so he holds that's a
• 21:41
  Pasol minotaura who's sphaker la kumra and therefore safik goes
• 21:46
  la kumra of all in rova mikva kasha.
• 21:48
  But if most of it is maybe Shamim or any mikva, that's not
• 21:53
  Shuvi. That's what the topic here.
• 21:56
  So then we have mil to Shuvi, but just a minority.
• 21:59

• 22:09
  Hey. And then we'll read it inside
• 22:11
  tomorrow. You'll see you with Rob Gilman.
• 22:13
  I just wanted to say I'm just going to read one line and he'll
• 22:15
  go. He'll say the whole thing later.
• 22:17
  Kola yami Meisha Hamdin Mayan latar Bizzahila, because this is
• 22:20
  really tied to what we said until now is all bodies of
• 22:24
  water, all lakes and all oceans are kosher.
• 22:27
  How do we know? The Mishnah tells us in Paraquet
• 22:30
  Mccullos it's rabiosi and it's basically exerus akasu.
• 22:35
  Perhaps you want to call Akhala Moshe Musini, but basically it's
• 22:37
  a exerus akasu from Mikve Amayam Karayamim, right in the
• 22:41
  beginning, herbaceous. So from there we know all bodies
• 22:45
  of what? If you want to go to the
• 22:46
  quineret, if you want to go anywhere to the mikvah, that's a
• 22:49
  body of water. Yamamella.
• 22:50
  No, we'll take it as a salt. Sorry, but any normal body of
• 22:55
  water, we'll take a yamamella. Any normal body of water is a
• 22:58
  kosher mikvah. The oceans, the quineret,
• 23:01
  anything. Even if you think most of the
• 23:04
  water might come from the rain, it doesn't matter.
• 23:07
  Even though the water moves, it doesn't matter.
• 23:09
  That's the halacha because of the puzzle and what's it called?
• 23:14
  3 basic perdution you'll find in the in the that point out why?
• 23:18
  Because all the because it's normal for the flowing lake, the
• 23:21
  rivers to all go into the ocean and therefore that's what's
• 23:25
  that's what's normal. That's the zocalim.
• 23:27
  They all feed into the Yamim. And so therefore it's more of an
• 23:31
  explanation. But that's why the, the any yam
• 23:34
  has a special status of being kosher for the purposes of
• 23:39
  Zocalim, even if it's moving kosher, who maybe not we'll
• 23:44
  discuss tomorrow. But the other perush is because
• 23:49
  it's normal Yamim. They all have all Yamim have
• 23:52
  currents and waves or whatever. There's always movement just
• 23:56
  like a river. Just like that's why a river is
• 23:59
  is always kosher when it flows. So too all the Yamim are always
• 24:01
  kosher because there's always flowing.
• 24:04
  And the last perush is because there's an assumption that most
• 24:09
  of the water in an in any ocean or lake, the Kazaka is it comes
• 24:14
  from springs. You may not know where the
• 24:15
  springs are, you may not realize it's from a spring, but the
• 24:19
  majority is actually spring water that comes into the ocean
• 24:23
  versus rainwater.
