Presentation in PDF format Today’s daf is sponsored by Meryll Page in loving memory of her father, George Levine, Yosef Michael HaLevi on his yahrzeit. “I'm grateful for his enthusiastic support of my Jewish learning. Dad was an expert in creative tzedakah. He was a mensch to emulate and a loving dad.” There are ten types of people who can't collect teruma from the granary - why? Many of them can get the teruma brought to them in their house, other than some - why? Even though women were included in that list, a braita mentions that they are places where women were permitted to collect in the granary, and in those places, the women would be given first. The Gemara explains that they must be referring to the poor man's tithe and not teruma. They were given first so it would not be demeaning for them to wait on the line - "ladies first." When Rava would hold court, he would take the men first, so that they could be let out first to go fulfill their obligation in mitzvot, but when hearing this law, he changed his mind and let the women be judged first. In the case of the Mishna where the kohen was mixed up with a slave, the Gemara understands that when the Mishna mentioned what would happen if they free each other, this is seen as an imperative, in order to allow them each to marry. How would they bring a mincha offering - as a kohen or as a yisrael, as the way it is brought is different (the kohen's is burned entirely and in the yisrael's, a kmitza is burned and the rest if given to a kohen? Two possibilities are brought. If a woman got married within three months of being married to her previous husband and gave birth to a child whose lineage is now questionable (from the first husband of the second?) what are laws of yibum for that child? If one husband was a kohen and the other a yisrael, the child must keep the stringencies of both. But regarding financial issues, or punishments we are lenient. If both father's were kohanim, how does that change matter? Shmuel stated that if ten kohanim were together and one left the group and impregnated a woman, the offspring is a shtuki. They understand this to mean that he cannot work in the Temple as a kohen, even though it is clear he is a kohen. Why? They penalize him because of znut. A question is raised from our Mishna as they prove that the case of not waiting three months must have been after a relationship outside of marriage (znut) and the Mishna states that he can work in the Temple. In the end, the Gemara explains that one can understand the Mishna to be a case where the woman was a minor and was married off by her brother or mother and did mi'un, refusal. However, this possibility is rejected as well, as one young enough to do mi'un, would not be able to get pregnant as found in a Tosefta regarding women who are permitted to use birth control. An alternative explanation is that she was betrothed and married to the first husband but the betrothal was found to be a mistake (perhaps an unfulfilled condition).
