Eli J. MansourHOST
However, Maaser Ani.
Eli J. MansourHOST
Now, what's Maaser Ani? Maaser Ani, the owner has to give to the Kohen-- To the Ani, I'm sorry, in the third year and the sixth year of the Shemitah.
Eli J. MansourHOST
Correct? You have, uh, years of Maaser Sheni and you have Maaser Ani years.
Eli J. MansourHOST
The Maaser Sheni is, uh, Abedah.
Eli J. MansourHOST
Alef, bet, daled, eh? One, two, four, and five years.
Eli J. MansourHOST
And, uh, Maaser Ani is the third and the sixth year of the Shemitah.
Eli J. MansourHOST
"Metchallek betoch beto.
Eli J. MansourHOST
He controls who he wants to give it to.
Eli J. MansourHOST
How do we know that even an Ani has to give Maaser Ani? If he has a field, let's say.
Eli J. MansourHOST
Which means it says by Maaser Ani, the word Ger.
Eli J. MansourHOST
And by Liket, it also says Ger.
Eli J. MansourHOST
So he gives it Ashaba.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
That's Bikra Bikurim.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
When you finish doing all your Ma'asrot in the third year, and Chazal understands this to be the third year and the sixth year, meaning of the Shemitah cycle, when you, in the third and the sixth years, you give Ma'aser Yishon or Ma'aser Ani, not Ma'aser Shini.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
And there's Maser Ani, you give it to the Levim, to the stranger, etc.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
And you give it to them.
Chaim WolosowHOST
Those are the matnas aniyim, as Rashi says.
Chaim WolosowHOST
Those are the Maaser Ani that we give.
Chaim WolosowHOST
But the pasuk before talks about all the different kinds of Maisers.
Chaim WolosowHOST
But it looks like the specialty is what we're saying right before this pasuk.
Richard HidaryHOST
But if a Levi has produced, the Levi does not have to separate it and give it to another Levi, he can keep it for himself.
Richard HidaryHOST
So this is contrasting with Maaser Ani, where the poor person does have to re- give a tenth to a different poor person.
Richard HidaryHOST
But when it comes to gifts that are given from a Kohen to a Kohen or from a Levi to a Levi, we do not remove it from them.
Richard HidaryHOST
They can keep their own.
Richard HidaryHOST
So it literally means leave it, give it to the poor.
Richard HidaryHOST
But since it puts back to back the commandment and then the word ani, we learn that even an ani has to give to another ani.
Richard HidaryHOST
[reading foreign language] How come Maaser Ani, um, uh, one brings into one's house and the owner can give it to any poor person that he wants at his discretion? Because for that it says the word netina.
Richard HidaryHOST
The other one said, "Azivah," leave it for them.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
So now, Ya'atziv Rav Pappa ve'Kamra L'Lashmat, Rav Pappa repeated this entire story and, uh, result.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Eit Rav Idi bar Avin, the Rav Pappa, he challenged him with the following, and this is a relatively long britah detailing the different Matnot Aniyim.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Arba Matnot Aniyim shebekeira, ma'peret v'olot lashikcha va'pe'ah.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
So these are basically Mishnayot in, uh, based on Mishnayot in Pe'ah.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
The four different gifts that are given in a vineyard, Peret, which is like Leket.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
Balabayit Shelo V'ramim B'chol Ha'olam, this is a Mishnah in Peah.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
V'tzarich L'tol Aket Shikho Peah Maaser Ani.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
So after detailing in Masache Peah all the different Matanot Aniim, Peah, then Liket, Liket, then Shikho, then Maaser Ani, Peret, and Olilot, et cetera, um, the Mishnah towards the end, in the eighth Perek, says that if a regular person who's got more than two hundred zuzim, he's not an Ani, but he's traveling, V'tzarich L'tol Aket Shikho Peah Maaser Ani, and now he suddenly had need.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
He was gone longer than he thought.
Yitzchak EtshalomHOST
He lost his money for whatever reason.
Jonathan LiviHOST
The second one is the vidui maaser, which is a law of when, you know, as a farmer, you have a bunch of different tithes that you have to give.
Jonathan LiviHOST
You have terumah, you have maaser, you have maaser sheni, you have maaser ani.
Jonathan LiviHOST
So you have all these different types of terumot and ma'aserot that a farmer has to give.
Jonathan LiviHOST
And when a farmer finishes giving all of them, he has to come to the Beit Hamikdash, and he has to announce that he's finished giving all of them.
13 MINS LATER
Jonathan LiviHOST
I think you get an idea of what the mitzvah consists of.
Jonathan LiviHOST
We'll, we'll come back to the, the importance of the mitzvah when we do the next two parts.
Jonathan LiviHOST
[reading foreign language] When you finish giving all your maaserot, okay? As we said, there are a lot of m-maaserot, but the most important maaserot to know for this mitzvah are the maaserot of maaser sheni and maaser ani.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Anybody know what these two maaserot are? What is maaser sheni and what is maaser ani?
Jonathan LiviHOST
Now, there's one more maaser.
Jonathan LiviHOST
It's called maaser ani.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Maaser ani.
Jonathan LiviHOST
That's a maaser that you have to give to the poor.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Yes.
Jonathan LiviHOST
That's on years three and six.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Three and six.
Jonathan LiviHOST
So- And then seven it's, uh- It, so- ... seven is, uh, nothing ... to, to complete the terumah, the maaser, the maaser sheni, and the maaser for the poor, for the maaser called maaser ani, how many years does it take? Three years.
Yakov JoelsonGUEST
It s-- it talks about when, um, you finish taking all the tithes.
Yakov JoelsonGUEST
There's many different tithes, and there's Maaser Rishon, there's Maaser Sheni, there's Maaser Ani, there's Bikkurim, there's all these different agricultural laws that you have to give to the proper recipients, to the Kohanim, to the Leviim, to the poor, to the, to the Beis Hamikdash.
Yakov JoelsonGUEST
There's a lot of different agricultural rules.
Yakov JoelsonGUEST
So over here it's called Vidui Meiser, and we're coming up now to Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur.
