Daf 84 — Menachos 84 Summary

Menachos 84 – Good Morning Raboisai Where Minachos Can Come From All minachos (korbanos of flour): • Can come from Eretz Yisrael or Chutz La’aretz • Can come from old crop (yashan) Except: • Omer • Shtei HaLechem These must come: • From new crop (chadash) • From Eretz Yisrael only Quality Requirement – “Min HaMuvchar” All minachos must be from the best quality flour Top sources: 1. Michnas Zadka – best quality 2. Afraim B’bikah – second best Machlokes – Old Crop for Omer Another Tanna holds: • Omer & Shtei HaLechem from old crop → kosher (but not ideal) Our Mishnah: • Must be new crop Chadash – In Chutz La’aretz Rebbi Yehuda holds: • Chadash applies even in Chutz La’aretz (Deoraisa) Therefore: • Omer could theoretically come from Chutz La’aretz Omer on Shemitah Problem: • Cannot plant during Shemitah Solution: • Use sefichin (self - grown crops) • Guard them using Beis Hamikdash funds Question: • How can Shemitah produce be used? Answer: • “L’doroseichem” → Omer must still be brought Requirement of “Carmel” Omer must be: Fresh, soft grain (carmel) Cannot use: • Old crop Omer Must Be from Barley Proof: • Individual korbanos → wheat or barley • Tzibbur must also have both Omer = barley Shtei HaLechem = wheat Order of Korbanos 1. Omer (barley) → permits new crop 2. Shtei HaLechem (wheat) → permits new wheat korbanos 3. Bikurim Shtei HaLechem must be first of all wheat offerings Bikurim – What Qualifies Must be: • From Shivas Haminim • From good quality produce Not valid: • Poor - quality fruits (e.g. mountain dates, valley produce) Unusual Growing Locations Cases: • Rooftop • Ruin • Flowerpot • Ship Halacha: • Sometimes valid for bringing Bikurim • But may not allow reading the pesukim Depends on connection to the ground Machlokes – Poor Quality Produce • Rebbi Yochanan → inferior produce = not kadosh • Reish Lakish → becomes kadosh (but not ideal) Key Takeaways • Omer & Shtei HaLechem must be new crop from Eretz Yisrael • Omer = barley, Shtei HaLechem = wheat • Order: Omer → Shtei HaLechem → Bikurim • Must use best quality produce • Ground connection affects Bikurim • Machlokes if inferior produce gets kedusha
