Daf 94 — Menachos 94 Summary

Menachos 94 – Good Morning Raboisai Smicha vs Tenufa Chumra of Smicha over Tenufa: • By Smicha → all partners must do it • By Tenufa → one person can do it for all Chumra of Tenufa over Smicha Tenufa applies more broadly: • Applies to Korbanos Yachid and Tzibbur • Applies: o When alive o After Shechita o Even items never alive (e.g. breads) Why Not Learn Smicha from Tenufa Could argue: • Tenufa (done even after death) • Should apply to partners → so Smicha also Rejected: “Karbano” teaches: • Each owner must do Smicha Why Not Learn Tenufa from Smicha Could argue: • Smicha (not done after death) • Should require each partner → so Tenufa also Rejected: Tenufa is one act on the Korban • Not dependent on each individual Nature of the Mitzvos • Smicha → obligation on the person (gavra) • Tenufa → action on the Korban (cheftza) Practical Issue – Many Partners Problem: • Cannot all hold the animal (chatzitza issues) Solution: Torah requires all to do Smicha But Tenufa only needs one Tenufa – How Done • Done once per Korban • Not repeated per partner Smicha on Dead Animal Case: • Kohen Gadol places hands on limbs during Avodah Not real Smicha Done for honour only New Sugya – Lechem HaPanim Two types: • Shtei HaLechem (Shavuos) • Lechem HaPanim (12 breads) Preparation of the Bread • Each loaf kneaded separately • Not combined into one dough Baking • Shtei HaLechem → baked one at a time • Lechem HaPanim → baked two at a time Three Moulds Used in process: 1. While dough 2. During baking 3. After baking Purpose: Maintain shape Shape of Lechem HaPanim Machlokes: • Box shape (Teivah Prutzah) • Boat shape (Sfinah Rokdes) Bazichin Placement • Must place Levonah on bread Issue: • Works easily with flat/box shape • Difficult with boat shape Solution: Create space/indentation Support System (Snifin & Kanim) • Kanim (rods) separate layers • Snifin (side supports) hold breads Function: • Prevent collapse • Allow airflow Structural Issues • Square shape → stacking pressure problem • Boat shape → stability problem Each shita answers differently Key Takeaways • Smicha = personal obligation (each partner) • Tenufa = Korban action (one suffices) • Smicha not done on dead animal (real Smicha) • Lechem HaPanim made with precision process • Major machlokes on bread shape • Complex support system in Shulchan setup
