Marc ShapiroHOST
I, I'm doing an article on this, and I'm gonna give all sorts of sources.
Marc ShapiroHOST
Well, on page, uh, 72 here, he records that after one of the Rambam's ... one, one of the Rav's, uh, four-hour York se sheerim, he says, "Packed with sensational Chidushim interpreting the Rambam," he says ...
Marc ShapiroHOST
Listen to this.
Marc ShapiroHOST
"I asked the Rav if he really believed that the Rambam had all these great ideas in mind when he wrote his book.
Marc ShapiroHOST
The Rav looked at me and said, quote, 'What's the difference? Was it not a good sheer?' I was somewhat stunned by the answer.
Marc ShapiroHOST
The next morning, in conversing with the Rav's son, Rabbi Professor Chaim Soloveitchik, he told me that it is perfectly legitimate to use a text, halachic or otherwise, to launch ideas.
Marc ShapiroHOST
Irrespective of whether or not the Rambam entertained these ideas, the very ideas themselves must be considered authentic Torah and treated as such." So, uh, that, that raises the interesting issue we spoke about.
Marc ShapiroHOST
Something could be true, small T, but that doesn't mean that's what the author had in mind.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
Okay.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
Now, Rav had said the Halacha is like Rabbi Yossi ben Mishulam, to which they asked Rav Huna, would he say the same thing on Yom Tov? And basically, here are the two sides of the question.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
Exactly what I was mentioning before.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
Is the issue Devar She'eno Metkavein? You weren't really intending to pull out hairs, you were just intending to make some space.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
For the purposes of our Gemara, it doesn't really matter, but it's an interesting machloket, and I thought worth mentioning.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
So those are the two sides.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
Rav Huna said, "Well, go first find out for me," and now I also clarified this a little better, what was going on here.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
He said, "Find out for me if Rav really paskened like Rabbi Yossi," because his, ben Mishulam, because his basic question is, listen, if Rav doesn't even really pasken like him, then there's something to discuss.
Chaim WolosowHOST
So according to this, the reason why Rabbi Yesi and Shula permitted in our Mishnah is because something which you're not intending, [speaking foreign language] is mutar, is permissible.
Chaim WolosowHOST
So fragte Gemara, [speaking foreign language] could possibly Rav say sooo, like Hanania quoted in the name of Rav that is permissible to remove the hair for the Shechita on Yom Tov.
Chaim WolosowHOST
Because even if he's going to, uh, be detaching the hairs, it's gonna be in the Mesakaven, it's mutar.
Chaim WolosowHOST
[speaking foreign language] But Rabbi Chiya, the son of Ash, he said name of Rav, [speaking foreign language] That is the closing, the stopper of the, um, of the spout of the barrel.
Chaim WolosowHOST
You have a barrel of wine or beer, and there's a spout over there, and then you have a stopper, and you stop it by using, uh, garments that have been, uh, used-- used up garments, and you close up the hole with them.
Chaim WolosowHOST
So he says, also la duke.
Chaim WolosowHOST
But so what do we see from this halakha? Even though that when he is putting in the garment over there, he has no intention of squeezing the wine of it.
Chaim WolosowHOST
What he's doing it is only to close up the hole that is in the, uh, that is in the spout.
Eli J. MansourHOST
Gemara says, [speaking foreign language] so he tells him.
Eli J. MansourHOST
Who's asking the question over here? They, [speaking foreign language] they ask Rav Huna.
Eli J. MansourHOST
So Rav Huna answers back.
Eli J. MansourHOST
[speaking foreign language] First, go to Rav Hananel and ask him, [speaking foreign language] If he tells you that Halakha is like Rav Yosef Musulam, [speaking foreign language] I'll answer you the Gabay Yom Tov, which is first off to establish that Halakha follows Rav Yosef Musulam.
Eli J. MansourHOST
So go ask Rav Hananel and find out first if the Halakha is like this Rabbi, Rav Yosef Musulam, by Bechor.
Eli J. MansourHOST
Once you establish that, come back to me and I'll give you the Halakha for Yom Tov.
Eli J. MansourHOST
[speaking foreign language] Indeed it is mutar.
Eli J. MansourHOST
[speaking foreign language] Did Rav come along and really say this? 'Cause what's allowed to go Yom Tov is mutar, [speaking foreign language] is mutar.
Sruli RappsHOST
We are going to, let's say, explore the opinion of Rab Shimon Ben Gamliel.
Sruli RappsHOST
We'll see it's a shtikkel machloket with regard to what kind of assumptions can we make about a nursing sheep, that if a sheep is nursing a lamb, what can we know or not know about that sheep? Friends, in the Gemara, the first section, we will talk about Rav's principle.
Sruli RappsHOST
Stick with us to learn about what Rav's principle is and how it's applied.
Sruli RappsHOST
And secondly, sheep anthropology.
Sruli RappsHOST
Now, I'm not exactly sure what anthropology is.
Sruli RappsHOST
And in the Seifa, if a person goes into his flock and sees that there are a whole bunch of ewes that are nursing lambs, some of those ewes are new mothers, some of them are veteran mothers.
Sruli RappsHOST
We can assume that each mother is nursing its own child, and therefore any male lambs that are nursing from first-time mother ewes are bechorot.
Sruli RappsHOST
Says the Gemara-[smacks lips] Amar Rav Nachman Mishmei de Rav says Rav Nachman in the name of his rebbi Rav.
Phil KareshHOST
We are on daf chaf gimel am alef and we're about eight, nine lines down at the word esve.
Phil KareshHOST
Prior to today, there was a, a memra by Rav Yirmiah about the din of chozer, chozer veneor.
Phil KareshHOST
That something that was up till now laying dormant can now be activated yet again.
Phil KareshHOST
Um, and his halacha is gonna be subject to some question on this blot by a few, uh, three, four questions of the Gemara, and we'll see that, uh, that perhaps, uh, his din is not so simple.
Phil KareshHOST
That's difficult.
Phil KareshHOST
Why is that difficult? Because ve'i amras tumah k'man d'ise damei.
Phil KareshHOST
If you wanna say like Rav Yirmiah that really the tumah has always been there, it's just laying dormant and it's chozer veneor.
Phil KareshHOST
Well, when you're dealing with rov and you touched it, I could understand part of it.
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
I say there had to be a tzaddik on the plane.
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
I remember a shmuis from the Mashkiach Rav Vesem.
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
I'm going back to the early 50s.
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
And he was talking, chel emunah, ein ovel.
8 MINS LATER
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
Okay, so I told Rabbi Frankfurter, you have to hear a Shia.
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
I don't want to be interviewed until you hear a Shia, then you'll know me.
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
So he came here with his two sons, heard the shiur, and after the shiur he started talking about the Rav.
Aaron Rakeffet-RothkoffHOST
And I said to him, understand the Rav, it's very simple.
David BassousHOST

EdanHOST
Rabbi Kiva eventually married a lady called Glickal, and together they raised many children, and their daughter married somebody who would eventually become the Chassam Sefer.
EdanHOST
After his marriage, the opportunity to become a Rav of the town came his way.
EdanHOST
However, Rav Akiva wasn't interested in such a position.
EdanHOST
He understood the enormous responsibility becoming a Rav would be, and he was perfectly happy to remain as a teacher, as a Rosh Hashiva, teaching Tara, but not acting as a Rav.
EdanHOST
However, The circumstances pushed him into the position and eventually he agreed and he became the Rav.
EdanHOST
He was the Rav of his town, Marrakesh, Freeland, for about 24 years.
EdanHOST
During this time, countless letters, questions, requests for advice came his way and he answered each person.
EdanHOST
not only in halacha, but also with care and positive guidance.
