Shalom RosnerHOST
5:39
Whatever, some nickname, even though it was his name, but the word Aba could have been understood as, you know, the great, the great, uh, one.
Shalom RosnerHOST
5:48
Right? Like the story, we've quoted this in the Shabbos, Shabbos Shuva context in the past, the story of the last Daf in Yuma, where Rav Huna, who was the Talmud of Rav, uh, was, uh, was, was walking by and- They had a conversation, and you see Rav Huna call him Abba to his face, right? So you see in the last peh gimmel, peh beis, peh dalet around there.
Shalom RosnerHOST
6:07
So you see Abba's not, it's not a problem.
Shalom RosnerHOST
6:10
The problem was that he said, "Abba Aricha." By saying Aricha, he's showing that he's not calling him Abba as the great one.
Shalom RosnerHOST
6:17
He's calling him the specific person, Abba Aricha.
Shalom RosnerHOST
6:21
So he says because of that, that's why together it's a problem.
Shalom RosnerHOST
6:24
[reading foreign language].
Shalom RosnerHOST
7:08
In the Mishnah, is it there? That's the Note Bi胡达's teshuvah.
Sruli RappsHOST
3:35
[Hebrew] is Rechelim, but [Hebrew] is not Rechelim, it's Rechelos, and that is correct for the Mishnayis." Okay.
Sruli RappsHOST
3:45
[Hebrew] Rabbi Yochanan then continued, and he asks Isi Bar Hini, "Who is right now the head of the yeshiva? Who is the leader in, in, in, in Bavel? Who's the Rosh Yeshiva now in Bavel?" [Hebrew] And Isi Bar Hini responds, "It is Aba Aricha." Aba Aricha is Rav.
Sruli RappsHOST
4:08
Aricha means tall.
Sruli RappsHOST
4:09
Apparently, Rav was tall.
Sruli RappsHOST
4:11
So Rav the Tall.
Sruli RappsHOST
4:14
So [Hebrew] Rabbi Yochanan is a little bit surprised at how Isi Bar Hini referred to the great Rav as Aba Aricha.
Sruli RappsHOST
4:24
[Hebrew] Rabbi Yochanan says, "You refer to him as Aba Aricha.
Sruli RappsHOST
4:29
Now, you gotta be careful." Rabbi Yochanan, Rabbi Yochanan, you know, you mess with Rabbi Yochanan, you could, you could end up a pile of bones.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
3:57
Rabbi Yochman says to Isi, Manrei sits in Babel.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
4:00
Who's the Rosh Yeshiva in Babel these days? Isi had just arrived in Eretz Yisrael, so he wanted to know, no? What's doing in the community in Babel? Who's the Rosh Yeshiva there? Amalei, oh, there's this wonderful Rosh Yeshiva, Abba Aricha, the tall Abba.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
4:12
He was referring to Rav.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
4:13
Rav was a very tall person.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
4:14
Rav's name was Abba.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
4:16
They always call him Rav as a Lashon of Kavah, just like Rabbi Daanasi is called Rebbe, so this Abba was called Rav.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
4:24
So he referred to him by his name, Abba Aricha.
Aryeh LebowitzHOST
4:27
So I'm like, Abba Aricha, Chris? That's how you call him? You call him Abba Aricha? Do you have any idea who you're talking about? We were both in Rebbe's shiur together at the same time.
Maier BorensteinHOST
8:58
Because Rabbi Yossi holds, it has to be the normal way of doing it.
Maier BorensteinHOST
9:02
This is going to be our record, what we were saying before, that Rabbi Yossi only might have admitted to Orchei So it's the Amara, where do we find such a Moshe? Netanyahu, Leket Kitzircha, V'lui Leket Kitov, Leket, right, that's the fallen crops, our motor, right, who do they go to? They go to the Ani, but that's only if it was done with a sickle, meaning you were actually doing a normal case of cutting V'lui Leket Kitov, but if you were using your hands, then it's not called Leket for B'Yi Yisrael, and Leket El Abba Mach Matz Kitzir.
Maier BorensteinHOST
9:35
Well, that should have sounded redundant if you're paying attention.
Maier BorensteinHOST
9:40
Rabbi Yisrael came along and he said, That's what we just said.

11 MINS LATER

Maier BorensteinHOST
20:38
Don't get so smart.
Maier BorensteinHOST
20:39
Ko shein means even one salah, the least amount.
Maier BorensteinHOST
20:42
The Mishnah said right after, what do you give? Because Rav, if you paid attention, Rav didn't say an amount.
Maier BorensteinHOST
20:53
What did Rav say? But he didn't say how much you have to give to the Goyen.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
2:41
He says, Maan Reish Sidra, who's the Rosh Yeshiva in Babel? Rashi says, yeah, Maan Sidra, Rosh Yeshiva, Rashi taught that Rosh Yeshiva.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
2:50
Now we know that term, Abba Arecha, right? So he says, who's Abba Arecha? So Rashi says, because he was tall in his generation.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
2:57
If you go on an art scroll, There's a Rashbanli from Baba Batru.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
3:07
We saw this.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
3:08
It says, It quotes Agamora here.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
3:10
It quotes the Shabbi Yochanan.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
3:12
It says, He found in a book that came from Rome, he found that the title Rav in Yisrael, in Bavel, was like Rebbe, Yehuda HaNasi was called Rebbe in Yisrael.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
3:44
So to Rav was called, but not that he was very tall.
Fishel OsterHOST
5:34
Why is it only the Tzoyim, which is the sheep, or as in the Lashon HaMishnah, the Rechelim, that Yechayiv Reish Yisageis, not from oxen, not from goats.
Fishel OsterHOST
5:42
It's based on what Rav Yishua ben Levi says, because in the next posseg, after it says the mitzvah of Reish Yisageis, the posseg goes on to say, The next posseg says, What does Lamed L'shoras mean? You're obligated to give to the Qayin, from the wool, which could be used to make garments, that the Qayan, you can make the big day kahuna out of it, that the Qayan is going to stand in the Beis Hamikdash and serve with it.
Fishel OsterHOST
6:11
And that's only from the wool, from the sheep, from the goat, there's nothing that you could use to make any of the big day kahuna.
Fishel OsterHOST
6:19
And therefore, for this, the mitzvah does not apply.
Fishel OsterHOST
8:16
And another price we learned, same like the other price, that if you're cutting the hairs of the goat, it's potter.
Fishel OsterHOST
8:24
But then it says, when you're washing the body of the sheep and some of the wool comes off, even though you didn't shear it properly with a knife, you will be chayiv.
Fishel OsterHOST
8:35
So the G'mon answer is, as we already brought before, that there's the opinion of Rav Yesi about this.
Fishel OsterHOST
8:40
This is not a question.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
17:36
So the Gemara challenges his position of Shmuel and Rebbe Eliezer because he says... makes sense according to that they say that the amount that you're obligated is more than five slime and so that explains that you have to give to the Kohen five slime from everything and But it's difficult for Shmuel and Rabbi Lodz because they're saying you don't have to give that amount.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
18:10
Is it really good according to Rav? They both said that in order to fulfill the mitzvah of Rav, you need to give the Kohen 160th from every shearing.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
18:22
And according to Rav, the obligation is money for us.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
18:26
So therefore, how do we explain it? So we already learned this position.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
18:33
We're talking about a case that part of the Misha is talking about where there's a Jew who had a lot of woe.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
19:20
Shumar says, what are you talking about that Shumar is 1 60th of a gift to the Kohen? Didn't we learn that if you're really generous, you give 1 40th.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
19:31
So why do we say you have to give 1 60th when you're really generous? It says 140.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
19:41
So why would Rav and Shmuel say the shiur for somebody who's stingy? So the Gemara says, Okay, they said the biblical amount is 160th.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
0:04
And today's daf yomi, the Gemara tells us the following story about Rebbe Yochanan.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
0:13
And the story is as follows, that Rebbe Yochanan says that he heard somebody referring to Rav, who was the leading authority of the generation, he heard him referring to as Abba Ariha, Abba the tall one.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
0:29
And Rabbi Yochanan thought that that was disrespectful.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
0:31
He said, you calling him Abba Ariha Karisle? I remember that I was sitting, says Rabbi Yochanan, I was sitting 17 rows behind Rav, when Rav was sitting in front of Rebbe, and I saw sparks of fire coming out the mouth of Rav before Rebbe.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
1:01
from Rebbe's mouth to Rav.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
1:05
We didn't even know what they were saying.
Shmuel HerzfeldHOST
1:07
And you call him .
Shaya KatzHOST
24:59
That was our Mishnah.
Shaya KatzHOST
25:00
That makes sense according to Rav and Rabbi Yochanan.
Shaya KatzHOST
25:14
which Rabbi Orochan was quoting, because then you can get five to the Kohen.
DavidHOST
25:19
Well, it's, I mean, Rashi says, to Rabbi Orochan's Kohen, wow.
DavidHOST
25:26
He's talking about how much, how much shearing there is, I don't know.
Shaya KatzHOST
25:31
Hold on.
Shaya KatzHOST
25:32
Which one was Rav? Amarav, mana upras.
Shaya KatzHOST
25:38
That was talking about how much is on the goat.
Chananya KramerHOST
0:40
So even though it's written in the Torah as a Rechelim Mit Mem, you should still say Rechelos in the Lashon of the Mishnah with a sof.
Chananya KramerHOST
0:46
Omer Lei, so Rabbi Yochanan to Isi Bar Hini, Ma Reish Sidra BaBavel? Who's the Rosh Yeshiva over there in Bavel? Who's in charge? Omer Lei, Isi said, Aba Aricha, which was a reference to Rav, who was very tall, so he called him Aba Aricha.
Chananya KramerHOST
0:58
Omer Lei, Rabbi Yochanan said back to Isi, "Aba Aricha Karis Lei?" You called Rav Aba Aricha, which he held was not beKavodik.
Chananya KramerHOST
1:05
And the way the Ben Yehoyada explains it is that 'cause he didn't say Rabbeinu, he called him Aba.
Chananya KramerHOST
1:09
Now, Aba by itself is always a Lashon of Kavod, but since it's Aba Aricha, which is now somehow he's, like, the greatest tall person, that's not really the most beKavodik way to refer to him.
Chananya KramerHOST
1:17
I mean, let's face it, you're calling him Daddy Long Legs.
Chananya KramerHOST
1:20
So he was tainting on him.
Chananya KramerHOST
1:21
And Rabbi Yochanan continues by saying, "You can't call him that because DeChirna Kad Havia Sivna Achar Shivsrei Shur Nachuri DeRav." I remember when I was sitting 17 rows behind Rav and Kamei DeRabbi, who was right in front of Rebbe himself.
