Daf 23 — Chullin 23 Summary

Chullin 23 – Good Morning Raboisai ספק – Stage Between תורים and בני יונה Gemara: Case: • A person says: “I will bring an עולה מן התורים or מן בני היונה ” • He brings birds that are: In the stage of turning yellow (in - between stage) Question Is this stage: • A ספק (either young or mature)? Or • A בריה בפני עצמה (third category) ? If It Is a ספק Then: • If it is considered young → he brought בני יונה • If considered mature → he brought תורים Therefore: • יוצא If It Is a Third Category Then: • It is neither תורים nor בני יונה Therefore: • אינו יוצא Proof Attempt – From “ מן ” Pasuk: • “ מן התורים או מן בני היונה ” Extra word “ מן ” Why it should prove Suggestion: • Comes to exclude the in - between stage Meaning: • It is its own category Not valid Rejection The word “ מן ” is used for another דין It excludes: • A bird used for: o עבודה זרה o עריות Such a bird: • Cannot be brought as a קרבן Why Need a Pasuk for This Could have thought: • Birds do not have: o Mum (defects like animals) Therefore: • Maybe no פסול from misuse Pasuk teaches Even so: • Such birds are פסול לקרבן Parallel Case – פלגס (Between כבש and איל ) Case: • Person says: “I will bring an עולה מן האיל or מן הכבש ” • He brings: פלגס (between ages) Question Is פלגס : • A ספק ? Or • A בריה בפני עצמה ? Practical Outcome In Beis HaMikdash: • A פלגס requires: נסכים like an איל Yet: • Not יוצא Explanation According to one view: • פלגס = בריה בפני עצמה Therefore: • Does not fulfill either option Other Approach Another opinion: • Treats פלגס as ספק Brings extra נסכים Makes תנאי Conclusion of Sugya No clear resolution Remains: • ספק vs בריה בפני עצמה Third Case – Seor (Between Matzah and Chametz) Case: • Person says: “I will bring ten breads of תודה – either מצה or חמץ ” • He brings: Seor (in - between dough stage) Question Is Seor: • ספק ? Or • Separate category? Analysis If ספק : • Could count as either יוצא If separate category: • Not מצה • Not חמץ אינו יוצא Complication Even if he is יוצא : • The main owner of the קרבן still unsure What remains to bring Therefore: • Does not help practically Final Status Remains unresolved Same יסוד across cases: • In - between stage: ספק Or independent category Key Takeaways (English) • Main question: in - between stage = doubt or new category • If doubt → obligation fulfilled • If new category → not fulfilled • “Min” does not prove; used for other exclusion • Bird used improperly cannot be brought as korban • Parallel case: palgas (between lamb and ram) • Similar ספק remains • Third case: seor between matzah and chametz • Same question applies • No final resolution in the sugya Catch up, review, download previous Dafim & more: https://www.dafchazarah.co.uk Now available as an app (Apple, Google & Amazon): https://dafchazarah.co.uk/download Sponsor a day: https://dafchazarah.co.uk/sponsor To receive the daf summary daily join our group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/L4AiVVxQwYqLRh4RtMAlGE לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי רות בת הרב מנחם מנדל לע״נ הרבנית הצדקנית ממעזיבוז׳ מרת רחל בת מתתיהו ע״ה
