Daf 111 — Zevachim 111 Summary

Zevachim 111 – Good Morning Raboisai Nisuch HaMayim Outside — Three Lugim on Sukkos The daf opens with Nisuch HaMayim : • The mitzvah applies only on Sukkos • Minimum shiur: שְֹׁלשָׁה לּוגִין מַיִם • If one pours these outside the Mikdash → chayav Key question: What exactly makes this water “special” and chayav outside? Answer: • It is water designated for Nisuch HaMayim • Intention for the Mizbeach is critical The Machlokes — Must the Shiur Be Exact? A core dispute emerges: • Rabbi Elazar : o The shiur must be exactly three lugim o Not more, not less • Chachamim : o More than three lugim is acceptable o Once it reaches three, it is already kadosh This affects whether extra water becomes sanctified and creates liability. Does the Kli Sanctify Immediately? Related question: • If water is placed into a kli , does it become kadosh right away? Outcome: • According to one view: o Only the exact shiur is sanctified • According to the other: o Once the shiur is reached, everything in the kli is sanctified This parallels earlier sugyos of kli mekadesh . Were There Nesachim in the Midbar? Major background machlokes: • Rabbi Akiva : o Nesachim (wine libations) were brought in the Midbar • Rabbi Yishmael : o Nesachim began only after entering Eretz Yisrael Nafka mina: • If they existed in the Midbar → o Nesachim apply even on private b o mo s • If not → o Only on the public bama Do Nesachim Require a Kli Shares? Another consequence of the above: • On a private bama , a kli shares is impossible • Therefore: o If Nesachim applied on private bamot → they did not require a kli shares This helps determine whether water (learned from wine) also requires a kli. Wine Libations Outside — Three Lugim The sugya now turns to wine : • Minimum shiur: three lugim • Pouring wine outside → chayav Machlokes: • Is wine above the rim of the kli considered sanctified? • Rabbi Elazar : o Only what is inside the kli • Chachamim : o Even what is above the rim This mirrors earlier discussions of overflow in a kli shares . Rebbe Nechemiah — Shirayim Are an Avodah A major chiddush: • Rebbe Nechemiah holds: o Pouring leftover blood ( שִירַיִם ) is part of the avodah o Therefore: ▪ Doing it outside → chayav Objection: • Shirayim are not ma’akev • Why should there be chiyuv? Answer: • Even non - ma’akev actions (like placing emurim) can still generate liability when done outside Blood vs. Emurim — Beginning or End of Avodah Key distinction: • Emurim : o A new avodah o Done outside → chayav • Shirayim (blood) : o The end of avodah o Not a new beginning Rebbi Nechemiah answers: • Inner bloods are different • Some forms of shirayim are ma’akev Birds — Malika vs. Shechita (Four Core Cases) The Gemara clarifies everything using four classic cases : 1. Malika inside → offered outside → chayav 2. Malika outside → offered outside → patur 3. Shechita inside → offered outside → patur 4. Shechita outside → offered outside → chayav Rule: • A bird is made kosher: o Inside → by malika o Outside → by shechita Using the wrong method in the wrong place invalidates it. Rabbi Shimon — What Is He Arguing On? Confusion arises over Rabbi Shimon’s wording. Resolution: • He is not arguing on the classic four cases • He is addressing additional cases : o Night shechita o Use of non - sanctified vessels In those cases: • Tana Kama → patur • Rabbi Shimon → chayav This avoids contradictions in the Mishnah’s language. Takeaway – Zevachim 111 • Nisuch HaMayim applies only on Sukkos with three lugim • Machlokes whether the shiur must be exact • Nesachim in the Midbar affect bamot and kli usage • Overflow in a kli shares is disputed • Shirayim may be considered an avodah (Rebbe Nechemiah) • Correct avodah depends on place + method • The four bird cases are a master key to the sugya • Rabbi Shimon expands liability to additional edge cases לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי רות בת הרב מנחם מנדל
