Menachos 101 – Good Morning Raboisai Two Levels of Kedusha Introduction: • Kedushas Damim → monetary kedusha (lower level) • Kedushas HaGuf → full kedusha after action (higher level) Once it reaches Kedushas HaGuf: • Cannot be redeemed Redeeming a Mincha Case: • Flour, wine, or nesachim become tamei Can transfer kedusha onto money: • Item becomes chullin • Money becomes kadosh Limitation – Kli Shares Rule: • Before entering a kli shares → redeemable • After entering → not redeemable Because: • Gains Kedushas HaGuf Items That Cannot Be Redeemed • Birds • Wood • Levonah • Kli shares Even if something goes wrong: • No redemption Shmuel’s Chiddush • Anything with Kedushas Damim only Can be redeemed • Even if nothing is wrong Challenge to Shmuel From Mishnah: • Some items cannot be redeemed Even before full kedusha Answer – Rare Items • Certain items are not redeemable Because they are rare Examples: • Levonah • Special wood • Kli shares Concern: • May not be replaced Knife as Kli Shares • Even the knife is considered a kli shares Once used: • Creates Kedushas HaGuf Mum vs Tumah • Torah sometimes calls mum = tamei But: • Only permanent mum allows redemption • Temporary issue → cannot redeem Dispute – Can Pure Items Be Redeemed? • Shmuel → Yes (even if nothing wrong) • Others → No, only if invalid Special Case – Minchas Chotei • Poor person brings flour • If situation changes: Can redeem and upgrade/downgrade korban Food & Tumah Principle Question: • Is something inedible considered food? Machlokes: • If not edible → not mekabel tumah Pigul Case • Mincha becomes pigul (invalid thought) Question: • Is it still considered food? Basar B’Chalav Exception • Considered food Reason: • Had a moment of permissibility • Also edible for a non - Jew General Rule • Food must be edible to be mekabel tumah Parah Adumah Insight • Even if currently forbidden Since it can be redeemed : • Considered usable • Therefore mekabel tumah Key Takeaways • Two levels of kedusha determine redemption ability • Once in kli shares → no redemption • Shmuel allows redemption at lower kedusha stage • Some items are excluded due to rarity • Food must be edible to receive tumah • Pigul and issur foods raise questions of “food status” • Potential usability (like Parah Adumah) can define halachic status Catch up, review, download previous Dafim & more: www.dafchazarah.co.uk Now available as an app (Apple, Google & Amazon) – see website for details Sponsor a day: https://dafchazarah.co.uk/sponsor לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי רות בת הרב מנחם מנדל
