Rabbi Abba

But what if the person you're asking doesn't know the halacha? So the Rebbe, who's the Tamachachem, can tell the Tamim this is the halacha, and they can rely on that to pass it on behalf of the Rebbe.

So in fact, the Gemara, that's only Rabbi Abba.

I'm Rav Hunna.

If he's already given this similar psalm before he ever had it, that's fine.

in paragraph 487,

he says, Rabbi Abba said, He has a different explanation, a given take on it.

He was praying for Jacob.

I mean, he's talking as if David is praying that he says, He's talking about the exiles.

And therefore, you should do shechita based on that.

So why are you telling me that you cannot do shechita outside of the migdash? Abba explains that when the Pasuk talks about blemishes and says any animal that's cracked or broken, So by putting these two words back to back, it means cracked like broken.

Just like broken has to be broken where there's a bone.

So too, cracked means cracked in a place where there is a bone.

Hold on.

Still, how could Rabbi Yochanan ben Azad go ahead and permit the blemish in this case? After all, Rabbi Abba, in the name of Rav Huna, that anytime you have a Talmid Chacham that teaches Halakha, and then that very case comes up, so can the student then give a ruling based on that? It depends.

If the teacher taught the Halakha to the student, before the actual thing happened, then yes, that's okay, because then it's clear that the teacher was teaching it just theoretically, nothing to do with his own case, and then it happened to come up, fine, then the student can go ahead and do it.

However, if the case came up first, and then the teacher said, oh, I want to teach you halakha, happens to pertain just about this case, that I have an animal, then we do not pay attention to him, because then we suspect, just like we suspect the that he cannot judge his own animal, so too he cannot just now give a ruling right on the spot that will pertain to his own ruling.

People of high attainment.

It's not for nothing that he writes that Rabbi Shimon told Rabbi Abba and Rabbi Abba knew how to reveal through concealment and so on.

Let's learn something.

Yes.
