0:14 All right. >> Did you >> I skipped >> the intro? >> Yeah. Yeah, I skipped. >> Yeah. I'm sorry. >> Yeah. All right, we'll say good morning. Let's begin. Today's d is sadik above 96. We are picking up on sadikb 96 at the Mishna. Our Ashim this month are dedicated by Samuel Eerson in honor of 0:44 the art sites of their parents and hinderson hind we hope that on the merit of our and the family we'll say let's begin beautiful ahead of us today again remember again we began yesterday with a discussion in terms of now the actual like details of how you're going to go ahead 1:09 and make the mono. So yesterday we spoke about the and the we spoke about the idea that they can be kneaded and arranged outside but need to be baked inside of the bdash. Now we come to the so remember again is the unique offering that is given by the ken every single day. It is one but it is split into two halves 1:34 right half is offered up in the morning half is offered up in the afternoon. So it says the so when it comes to everything has to be done inside of the mdash the dough has to be kneaded arranged and baked inside the mdash and say interestingly enough they have to go ahead and they are shabas you could even go ahead and make it on 2:02 shabas but the grinding and sifting of the flower. That is not why not says because on a simple level whatever can be done on Shabas is not shabas but any which cannot be done as of Shabas. 2:31 So we'll say so here's the logic must be made daily. You cannot bake it the day before. Why can't you bake it on Arab Shabas? Lo, right? So again, therefore, I can't bake Arab Shab. So therefore, again, it's baking as Shabas. However, the grinding and the sifting of the which absolutely can be done on Arab Shabas must be done. So say just interestingly enough, we find like a same by by although there is a license 2:56 for on you're allowed to engage in the for the sake of food preparation. Really it only applies to things which cannot be done before y with the same qualitative results. But anything that can be done before with the same qualitative results really must be done before. So this is good another interesting. So have what we call. 3:27 Now what does it mean? Remember look at rashi. It's actually almost right across on the right hand side. So say when it comes to now what I do want to point out is remember that's why if you notice and upon him were mentioned in a separate Mishna because again as we already see their are different but the rest of they have a which means a must be prepared in 3:54 a service utensil. Now once you tell me that a has to be prepared in a service then what does that tell me? Where is it prepared? inside of the there is no such thing as use of outside of the therefore again these two principles go hand in hand if has to be prepared in therefore therefore 4:23 say if it requires aaris that means everything is prepared inside the bdaris is used outside of the bd good say jumping back for a little bit. Now we're giving dimensions. I actually read this to you in the yesterday. But the the mission is follow. 4:41 So also when it comes to the length was seven, the width was fourth. And I say literally again it had horns. Horns were these protrusions that came up off the sides and those were arbaos. Those were for finger breaths. If you look at Rashi, they would add they would they would stick on additional dough on every corner 5:11 like corners like horns and the length right the upward length really the height ultimately again of the corner was four finger breaths. What were the dimensions of him? It was 10 long meaning had a length of 10 a width of the carnos of 5:39 say its horns or the the part of the bread that was folded upwards was single seven finger breaths high. Okayhud says if you want to remember this that's your way to remember this say if you look at sayad remember again so that refers to the 6:07 was seven in length four in width and the horns were the corners were called forim highaz is the honim 10 long, five wide, and the carnos the kronos the horns were seven finger breaths high. 6:26 Good. Take nothing else from good says the says you shall place upon him on the differently. You shall place on the pon. 6:49 So you shall place on the before me at all times. So what does it mean? What does that mean? To which it means is that it should have faces. Say what does faces mean? Look at it should have clearly discernable sides. 7:17 Kronos other say otherwise Rashi says or alternatively it means it should have corners we'll see in the exactly what it means but the point over here is that benzma understands that the fact that the Torah doesn't just call these loaves but rather calls it panim bread with faces is telling us something about the nature of the of the bread so what it's 7:39 telling us it merits we will see says now this is very interesting. So now we have the dimensions of now doesn't go on the so that doesn't matter for us but we have the dimensions of him now let's get the dimensions of so watch this had a length ultimately again of a width of five okay 8:10 also had a length of 10 and a width of five but no saint So say remember again the the width of the bread was put on the length of the table. So again they were not aligned measurement wise but rather again literally again no they would place the length of the corresponding to the width of the table. 8:35 The kofel remember again on the itself is important to remember on the itself there are two stacks of bread right two stacks. So now what would happen theel supposedly what they would do is they would kind of roll over. Roll over is the wrong word but um fold over fold 8:59 over right two and a half on each side of the loaf turns out and again we'll see this in the more clearly it turns out that the length of the breads two stacks of bread would go ahead and fill up the width of the table says This is actually very interesting is now 9:29 about the dimensions of the says the actually had a length of 12 a width of six. Okay. On the other hand was say had a length of 10 a width of five. 9:46 No saint. So we'll say he agrees with the same idea which is that you go ahead and you take the length of the bread and put it in the corresponding width of the table. Now we'll say that's the case you only have an overhang that remember there's two sets of loaves. 10:04 So say therefore again you would go ahead and fold over two from each side and there would be two of empty space in between the two stacks of bread. What would you that what would you do with that? What? What's the point of that space? 10:21 Say you want that space. Why? Because you've seen this already before. What do you want in the You want airflow. Why do you want air flow on the to avoid spoilers? Most remember we spoke about this before. We're going to see something amazing that although there were miracles upon him, we didn't rely on miracles and we did whatever we needed to do in order to ensure the freshness of the bread. So therefore again in Rabi 10:44 mayor's model there was two of empty space in between the two stacks of bread in order to allow flow of air says it says agrees with I want to point out over here is whether or not there was space in between the loaves according to there was no space in between the two stacks according to there was two of space. What did you do to with the two 11:12 of space? Nothing. You actually just left it open. Comes along Ben Abash and Abash agrees with Rabi Mayor's dimensions and therefore says there is empty space in between the two stacks of bread. But he says that empty space was utilized. What was he utilized for? 11:33 That's where they put the two spoons of frankincense in between the say but it already says they shall place on the now what's the stack say now what they're saying is the seems to teach us that where would they place the leavona on the on the bread itself. The leavona doesn't rest 12:03 on the leavona rests on on the bread actually on one of the loaves. Remember again say we actually spoke about yesterday. Do you remember again according to the approach of Paskkin like that the bread was made like the U one of the if you remember that we brought this idea that you have to place the leavona on the upon him. 12:29 is made like a U and has a flat bottom. I could place the Leavona there. Remember again this was the kasha this was the cash on how can you say it's where would you place the so saying that the was placed on the the is saying the misha saying no it wasn't it was placed on the that's what the says you shall place on the staff which means you shall place on the bread the pure 12:55 leavon to which benzma I'm just keep saying benzma says So we'll say to which interestingly enough he goes ahead and he quotes the name. So we say this is talking about the formation or the the placement of the different tribes in the camp. The point that is trying to make is that sometimes biblically the word does not have to 13:25 mean on top of but the word could also mean what? Next to or near. So therefore again says when the says you're interpreting it to mean that the leavona has to be placed on top of the bread. Maybe not. Maybe it means that the leavon could be placed where near the bread. So where is near the bread? 13:46 On the therefore says I hold that there's two of empty space in between the two stacks of bread and that is where the leavona is going to be placed. Good. There are four supports. Remember again we spoke about these golden these supports on the side of the shan. So mlo again we saw do the supports do the supports run down to the ground. Right? 14:10 Really when we say supports really if you could imagine the shan itself is a table is a table. There are two stacks to contain the to contain the 12 loaves that are placed on top of the if you can imagine are kind of like sides of the table. They would call them supports, but there's they're there to support the stacks. They're sides of the table. So, we saw that there's a mlo 14:32 there's mlo about whether or not those supports do they rest on the ground or do they rest actually on the top of the do they sit on the on the on the flat part of the extending upwards? Do they sit on the ground? So, we're going to get back into that in just a little bit. 14:48 So, the says there were four supports. So if you can imagine like four golden boards, two on each side of the sh. Remember again, not four, it's the shul doesn't have these supports on all sides. It just has it on two sides to go ahead and to support the stacks of bread. So there there were two boards on each side. 15:13 So we'll say literally means that there were there were protrusions coming out of the top. say the is going to get into a little bit more exactly how all of this is set up, but they have protrusions coming out of the boards. Ultimately, again, two to support this stack and two to support this stack. 15:40 Say there were 28 rods. Those are the rods that we spoke about before that remember again were placed between the loaves also to allow for air flow. There are 28 rods in total. So we'll say means when we think of rods you think of a um a cylinder. It was like a So literally again 16:03 means like the half of a hollowed out reed. So the rods themselves were were like U-shaped. We're semicircles. We're semicircles. Again I will say why. Interestingly enough all of this is about airflow. So it is fascinating to see how much of the is constructed so as to to prevent spoilage in the loaves right but yet amazingly enough what the 16:26 upon him staying fresh was one of the miracles of the bameikdash so it's just this fascinating dialectic between on one hand the recognition of God's miraculous intervention while on the other hand our obligation to do whatever is within our power to work within the work or within the natural world. So okay it's interesting. So next, so there were 14 of these rods. 16:54 14 of these rods ultimately again for each stack. This is very interesting. So ultimately again, you can't arrange the rods, nor can you go ahead and remove them on shabas. They're not shabas. I will say now what's the issue with arranging or taking off the rods on Shabas? So, so interestingly enough, we will see that 17:18 here if you look at Rashi says. So, interestingly enough, this seems to be an issue of Bona of Bona of building. Now, this by the way, this would be right whether or not there's a concept of Bona. Bona building is one of the 39. 17:39 So, say as to whether or not the concept of building applies to utensils or not. So generally we assume not this is this would be a so normally we assumed that rabbitic law doesn't apply in the bas. So again we're gonna I'm just giving you kind of coming attractions because it's exciting I can't hold back. 17:55 So, but but we'll see in the we're going to discuss this a little bit because this is really fascinating because here you seem to see that a banana seems to be creeping in into temple service which normally we do not see but in any event for our purposes just today the Mishna says that if you that the arrangement and the removal of the re of the rods is not rather what do you do? you come in on 18:24 Shabas. Remember again on Shabas on Shabas what you really have going on over here is you're going to need to take out the rods in order to go ahead and move take the loaves off the table on Shabas. So bless you. So what do they used to do because remember again Shabas is in you take the old loaves off. 18:42 They're given to theim and ultimately again the new loaves are put on. Remember again we're operating under the assumption right now that the way these rods work says where the rods sitting what do they sit on they well based on what we saw earlier they sit on the loaves themselves that's what it sound like before although again we're going to discuss what some of these protrusions are so we'll say so what that means is you would have to move 19:04 them on shabas so therefore again what the Mishna tells you is what would they do they would come into the shabas remove the rods from between the loaves they are placed along the length of the table. So we'll say ultimately again she says so even though we have the rods there in order to prevent spoilage by the time Friday comes around we're not exactly so 19:43 concerned about what's going to happen if the rods aren't there overnight. of Shabas they would come in remove the rods from between the loaves loaves would sit one on top of the other they'd place the rods on the shan Shabas day they would give out the loaves old loaves to the group of khan who were coming what is off shift is that the right word you know they were coming they were right they were finishing their shift they would place the new 20:06 loaves on the without the rods without the rods right when would the rods be placed in the rods would be placed in ultimately again on mats shabas mat shabas amazing so it says says furthermore again all utensils that were in the mdash literally their length they were placed lengthwise corresponding to the length of the mikt so we're going to 20:30 discuss exactly what that means already says so they placed on an east west direction okay So again the Mishna said that allas all we say are are prepared in a clich in a service utensil and therefore by definition are prepared inside of the mikdash inside the bdashi. 21:02 So they ask where do we know this from that have to be prepared in the bd. So suppose it's actually quite interesting. Excuse me. This vision of is actually about the is actually about the third Bikdash. So when goes ahead and he sees his vision ultimately again about the third base. 21:37 So what does he see? He sees this is the place that the kohan will go ahead and cook their katas and their asham. They will bake the in order that it not be brought out to the courtyard. So both say the links just like an require a utensil inside of the 22:05 so also requires a inside of the good. So let's remember again the had a length ultimately again of 10. Again, now we're going to get into a little bit the between between Rabi Yehuda and Rabi Mayor, right? Rabi Huda was of the opinion that the Shan had a length of 10, a width of 22:30 five and ultimately again uh yeah, a length of 10 and a width of five. So that was said it was a length of 12th and a width of six. So it says according to the opinion who says which is the first opinion that they took two and a half on the on each side of the 22:56 and folded it upwards. Turns out that what that the sanctity extends 15 up. So remember we had this concept before that the airspace of the so to speak is madesh. In other words, the shulhan itself is a is a cliche service utensil. Service utensil ultimately sanctifies things. The shulhan because it has height to it because the loaves 23:23 extend upwards. Its airspace has the ability to consecrate as well. What the is pointing out over here is depending on the depends on the height or the airspace of the of the how high it is. See if you hold it ultimately again there are two and a half on each side of the that are being folded upwards. So two and a half times six gives you what? Gives you 23:48 what? Gives you 15. So therefore again meaning two and a half folded upwards of height right ultimately again six loaves on each side gives you a height of 15 for each stack which then tells you that the airspace of the shan so to speak that is madesh is 50 15 in height. 24:13 must the appearance of mayor who holds that only folding over on each side. Therefore ultimately again he holds that the height of the airspace of the for ultimately sanctifying purposes is going to be 12 in height. 24:32 We'll say one second. You see, you're just measuring the height of the shulan and the height of the airspace just based on the height of the sides of the bread times six. But there's additional height. Where is there additional in the rods? Remember again, you have the rods in between each loaf. That also contributes to the height to which the says no 24:55 the rods used to sink into the loaves themselves. which means that the rods never gave any kind of height which is says well that doesn't make any sense then what's the point of the rods ultimately again I don't understand the point of the rod say is what to separate the loaves so to prevent spoilage if the rods are sinking into the loaves that means there's going to be spoilage then what's the point of the rods to say 25:21 you're right the rods only lifted one loaf above the other only a very minute amount all you need is which is all you need. All you need is a little bit of space in order to allow for air flow. So because it's a minute amount of space, it didn't really contribute that much to the height. One second still a little bit of space times six is still significant. So therefore again 25:44 really the airspace of the should either extend 15 15 according to one opinion 12 according to another opinion plus whatever the total additional height of the rods. So I'll say interestingly enough because the combined space generated by the by the rods was less than a if you were to 26:11 measure the space in between each loaf it was so minuscule that put it all together it didn't even make a it doesn't even register okay what about ultimately again the what about the spoons of frankincense say remember again we're assuming now this the frankincense ultimately again rested somewhere on Did that not contribute to the height as 26:34 well to which the says the used to sit inside the loaves? Remember again we're going with the idea now that the loaves are U-shaped. So the sat on the bottom part of the loaf which means it was already it was contained inside the loaf itself and therefore did not add anything to the height. So the says and therefore it was inside the inside 27:01 the loaves and therefore did not really contribute to the height Ironos but say what about the extra literally again the horns says so say so was there not the already extra horns in other words we're only talking about the amount of the loaf that was folded over say wasn't There are also the additional Kronos that were 27:26 part of the initial loaf that can contribute to the height to which they say something very interesting. Kronos both say they would fold some part of the horn into the loaf itself. Either they would whether it was folded like this on top or folded from the side. 27:42 We're going to discuss but they would fold some part of the they would fold some part of the horn into the into the bread itself. And said the upper bread would rest on the horns of the lower bread. And of course not directly on the horns but rather again what on the rods which were sitting on top of the lower loaf again remember says but one second there 28:08 is also the mscaras say what's the miscaras so the miscaras was like there was like a border on the was that the right word of >> a border >> um a what >> frame >> frame okay good a frame so I so there was a frame like a framing on the side of the as we're going to see in just a little bit where exactly that framing or that 28:33 border was. So if you look at just a momentto remember again the was a table obviously but it had miscar had like a framing like a like a border around it. So we'll say where that that framing was a was a so we'll say so if it was a then what that pushed everything on the up which 29:02 means then what that the height of the together with the loaves was either 16 or 13 right it's but it's not 15 or 12 there's the extra of the misgar to which the says so this reflects the opinion of that the frame did not actually extend above the surface of the but rather again was more like a decorative band below the so I 29:28 see the surface of the so are we asked the question based on the idea that perhaps the frame extended above the top the surface of the now we're saying is that no the miscaras actually extended was a decorative band below the surface of the so therefore it did not contribute to the height so so the says and according to the opinion who says that in fact the 29:52 miscaras was above the surface of the I. So if that's the case then why don't we say the height was either 16 or 13 to which the answer is so we'll say even according to this opinion he will hold that look at says so say even that opinion will say that the decorative band the frame will say 30:23 did not sit really on the edge of the sh but rather extended almost outwards. So even if you say it extended above the top of the stacks did not rest on top of the of the bander of the frame but it's rather that bander frame actually extended outward a little bit. So that either way the stacks still rested on the actual surface of the which is why 30:46 you have the either 12 or 15. So says we learn this in so ultimately again there were no supports there were no golden supports on the side of the so it's actually very amazing holds that's what there were no there were no golden support boards on the side of the I saw what supported the stacks there 31:15 was a miscaras there was like a frame around the side of the shhan So that ultimately again to be clear the remember everyone agrees that that only extends upwards right in other words it's not it's not tall but it was enough to hold the stacks in place but rather says it was the mscaras of the that held the stacks in place 31:43 to which the rabbis responds you're wrong the mscaras did not extend upwards on the sh but rather again the mscaras extended downward. So we'll say so essentially the mscaras extended from it started at the we'll call it the surface of the table and went downward towards the legs. Okay. So we'll say so again another we what's exciting about these gimaras is you begin to see these 32:06 fundamental mak in terms of how the kin were made. So again, by the way, I want to point out Rashi already quotes this makashi in the Tora quotes this mak already when it speaks about miscarri is the mascaras from the surface of the table extending upwards or is the mascaras from the surface of the table extending downwards and you see there's a would be if you hold that the mascaras 32:30 extends upwards it could be that according to you do not need the snifim you do not need the golden support whereas obviously if you hold that extends downwards. There is nothing holding these stacks and placing you would need this. Okay, let's go back there. 32:50 So this says according to the opinion who holds that the miscar did not extend from the surface of the table upwards right but rather again extended from the surface of the table downwards then say this this yields for us a very important concept. So say what that means is that the shan was a cle with a flat surface 33:14 right the sh was say the shan did not have a base kable the shan did not have a receptacle say is very important to understand if you hold that the miscaras extended from the surface upwards then the shan itself has a receptacle what's the receptacle of the actual surface right just to give you this idea if you were to pour liquid 33:37 on the surface of the what would happen? >> What would happen? >> It depends, right? What does it depend on? If the mascaras extended upwards, then the liquid would pull, right? Because the mascaras keeps it in. If the mascaras goes downwards, then the liquid simply pours off the side. So, so this is very important as we're going to in just a moment. So, watch this. So, says 34:03 according to the opinion held that the mscar extended downwards, right? downwards, not upwards, downwards. Then that say what that tells us is that what tells us that almost right across. So we'll say if you have let's say sounds almost like a cutting board, right? Say you have like a you have a you have a um 34:36 slab. Thank you. You have a slab and say that slab can be used on both sides, right? So according to this approach that should be say means it's why is it because it's like the say now again we know the isab. So again now if you tell me that the miscaras is which means that the sh itself has no base has no receptacle then what that tells me is 35:00 that any flat object that can be used right ultimately is even if it doesn't have a base key even it doesn't have a receptacle saying this is very important because normally we assume that what in order for a utensil to become we normally assume that it has to have a receptacle but you're telling me is that the mascar extends downwards the I know can be so you're telling me then that even a a a slab that could be used on 35:24 both sides. We're going to see why it has to be used on both sides. It could use on both sides. On the other hand, say if you hold that the framing of the extended upwards that means what? that the had a receptacle then then ultimately again you would have to 35:46 ask you you would have to ask about this slab that can be used on both sides is it or not. So say hear this. So again depending on how the was structured creates other realities as well. If the miscaras went down not up that means that even a flat surfaced utensil has the ability to be 36:13 the say so are you telling me then that the itself let's take a step back so you're modeling after the are you therefore telling me that the had the ability to be that's not true the was a wooden utensil that was meant to remain at rest. 36:35 Remember the wasing utensil. Why? Because remember it was made of wood and coated with gold. So watch this. If the ultimately again is a it's a wooden utensil meant to remain at rest and it's not because we learned that any wooden utensil I will say that is not meant to be moved that is meant to remain at rest is not 37:02 my what's the reason for this saying in order for a utensil to it has to resemble a sack literally a sack Why? What's just like a sack can be carried empty and full? 37:23 Say any utensil which is carried empty and full ultimately again is so therefore any utensil which is not carried full or empty is not the assumption is that the was not meant to be carried. was meant to remain stationary and therefore to which the says listen to this. 37:48 No was also meant to be carried full and empty as well. Where get ready for this? Listen to how beautiful the was carried full as well. What does the mean when it says that you shall place the upon him on the on the which is 38:13 so here's what's interesting so ultimately the fact that it calls it thear indicates to me that what that the has the ability to become but how could the how could the become after all we just said the is a it is a wooden utensil that is meant to remain stable stationary if you're telling me that ultimately it could 38:36 become that means what that means it can be moved so we say when is the moved so watch this people say this is so beautiful so we'll say so the kohanim used to bring the out to show the regul on the regul when they would come they would go ahead and they would bring 38:58 the out to show the assembled people and the would say to the Jews who were there, see how beloved you are in the eyes of how would the Jews see how beloved they were in the eyes of him. So watch this. 39:20 There was a great miracle that was performed upon him said the removal of the loaves was just like the placement of loaves. Meaning what? Just like the loaves were placed on there, fresh and hot. So, so too they were removed from the fresh and hot. So ultimately again they would bring out the to the people to show them how beloved they were in the eyes of look at 39:46 this incredibly dramatic miracle as the says literally again to place hot bread on there that it was it was still hot on the day that it was removed. So what do you see from here? You see from here that ultimately again this is why the isab because ultimately again it was a 40:11 movable utensil. When was it moved? When was it moved? Apparently it was moved to by the kohanim ultimately again during the regalim to show the people how beloved they were in the eyes of look at this dramatic miracle who keeps the bread fresh. So I say so ultimately again that's why we can use the as a model for the of because the itself 40:36 ultimately was because even though again it was made from wood it was made to be moved. Therefore again because it was made to be moved it could be moved full or empty. Therefore it resembles sack. It resembles ultimately again the sack. And therefore I will say again depending on how the miscar was fashioned ultimately I could learn out from here to other say then we'll stop 40:59 but I don't understand why are you calling the a wooden utensil say ultimately again the was coated with what was covered in gold which means now it because of the because of the covering it should be treated as a metallic utensil a metal utensil golden utensil if that's the case say then again could become Did we not learn? 41:30 Did we not learn? That's what if you have a table say this, interestingly enough, is a type of chair, but it was a type of chair that was used not really not as much for sitting, but more to place stuff on top of it. Say, let's say part of the k was removed. They were lessened or you went ahead and you coated it with stone. 41:54 coat it with marble behindos, but you left behind ultimately again enough space to be able to put cups down on it ultimately again it still retains its identity and is capable of as long as you left enough space to put down cups says ultimately says you know we'll stop over here for today we're going to pick up and merit with this uh with this 42:21 tomorrow
