Shalom RosnerHOST
24:33
So this Chuma might be Chuma Durabanan.
Shalom RosnerHOST
24:36
Again, Tumtum is ambiguous.
Shalom RosnerHOST
24:40
Ambiguous meaning a Tumtum could be opened up, so to speak, and you could find out who what the... and try to figure out what the Tumtam was.
Shalom RosnerHOST
24:47
If the Tumtam literally is ripped open, meaning it's figured out medically that he's a Zachar, he still does not have a Chieva of Chalitza, because he's impotent, and there wouldn't be, he's like a Sris Chama.
Shalom RosnerHOST
25:03
Androgynous knows he has a low Nisa, and Androgynous could marry a woman, but cannot marry a man.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST

Poshet.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
0:16
Noiled Le'Bas, or a Tumtum, or an Androgynous, ain't a Nozir.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
0:18
Because a Bas, and Kamayken, a Tumtum, an Androgynous, even Misofik, is not going to be a Nozir.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
0:24
And you don't have to be worried about the chash on the tzad, that the androgynous has a din of a ben, or that the tumtum is a ben.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
0:29
Because it's not a vade ben, and if it's not a vade ben, it's not Chalde Nazir's.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
1:47
So, loit etanakama, that the first time it wasn't an ozer, so now it's a rei z'nozer.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
1:50
And Rav Shimonel, continuing his shita, says, no, he makes again a tani and says, yoimah, imarishen ben kayamah, harishen choivo, v'zu nadov, imlav, harishen nadov, v'zu choivo.
Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
1:59
Toisha speaks out that Rav Shimon's idea that in the Suffolk you have to make a Tanai is by but by that you don't have to make a Tanai because it's not a Ben what about a Tumtum that was afterwards it was that's a Shaila already in the Akhrenim the Gedorum of Yerusha and other things there's a whole Shaila what's the status of the Tumtum in such a case but over here we're poskining that that Tumtum is Lehed you doesn't have a Den of a Ben And therefore, even Rav Shimon agrees that it's Vah Dayanad on Nazareth.

There are two types of not clarity or uncleanness, if that's a word.
Yisrael BankierHOST
0:23
A Tumtum is where the private part is covered over.
Yisrael BankierHOST
0:26
We're not really sure what the gender is.
Yisrael BankierHOST
0:27
However, Androgynous seems to exhibit both private parts of a male and female.
Yisrael BankierHOST
0:37
In other words, the Tumah and Tarah periods, or Dam Toah periods, have to be Machmir like both.
Yisrael BankierHOST
0:41
And we've discussed what it means to be Machmir like both, but if you don't remember anyway, we're going to see it in the Gemara.
Yisrael BankierHOST
0:45
Tumtum v'zachar androgynous v'zachar.
Yisrael BankierHOST
0:48
Also, you have to be concerned, maybe, the tumtum androgynous is zachar, so to share...
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
11:23
And a man becomes Tomei by having a white-like fluid flowing from him.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
11:29
Tumtum is a person whose genitals are concealed in the body.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
11:35
It has never been revealed.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
11:36
And therefore it is unknown if he is either a male or a female.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
15:11
And until we know that he is a male with certainty, or the Tumah of a female with certainty, these are the ones that have to be removed from the area, and these are the ones who are Tomei.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
15:25
However, if it is not the Tumah of a male with certainty, because we are not certain if it is indeed a male, or if it is indeed a female, It is not a normal case of a Zav and a Zavah.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
15:40
And one, another person who touches this liquid that is the white or the blood of this Tumtum and Andragenes, and even if that touches both of them at the same time, and we're going to learn later, that one that touches this fluid contracts Tumah.
Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
15:57
And therefore, since in our case it is doubtful if this is a source of Tumah, because we don't know if it is indeed a male or a female, and this type of Tumah cannot affect a case of going up to the temple area, the one who touched this fluid, another person would not be guilty for going up to the temple area and have to bring a carbon or have the punishment.
ResnickHOST
4:45
So, were a woman to have an omission, a discharge of white substance, or a man to have a discharge of blood, they would not impart Tumah, that does not create the Tumah.
ResnickHOST
4:54
Now, what about Halacha Zayin and Tumtum and Andregenus? And Tumtum and Andregenus are individuals of whom we're not sure what their gender is.
ResnickHOST
5:00
Are they male or are they female? Either because they have both reproductive organs or because their reproductive organs are covered and we can't tell if it's a male or a female.
ResnickHOST
5:07
Says the Rambam, they have the stringency of both, which means where they have to have an emission of white substance or bleeding substance, either way they'd be considered Tame, just in case.
ResnickHOST
5:36
Let's say he had a discharge of white substance.
ResnickHOST
5:39
Maybe he's female, in which case those sacrificial foods and those trumahs are not tamay, and it would be prohibited from burning them, so you can't burn them.
ResnickHOST
5:48
And were a Tumtum or Andreaginus, after having an omission, say, of white substance, to go on to Intervesa Migdash, or to eat sacrificial food, to eat Kachem, he would not be liable for the biblical punishment of Kares, because it's possible that he's female.
ResnickHOST
6:01
In which case, the omission of white substance would not create Tumah for him.
Avraham ZajacHOST
9:42
Only.
Avraham ZajacHOST
9:46
Zayin, Tumtum, someone whose genitalia is covered over, we don't know what their gender is, or an Androgynous, someone who has both the genitalia of male and of female.
Avraham ZajacHOST
9:59
They are re-extringent on both sides, which means, they acquire Tumah B'loivan if some sort of white semen leaves their body.
Avraham ZajacHOST
10:08
And they also become Tame if there's a flow of Dam, leaving their bodies like an Isha.

7:04
A slave, a woman, even if they do own the land, and as such they bring the bikurim, Nevertheless, they do not say the Microbicurim since slaves and women did not inherit the land together with everybody else.
speaker_0HOST
7:16
The Tumtum, this is somebody who neither has male signs or female signs.
speaker_0HOST
7:22
The Androgynous, this is the opposite.
speaker_0HOST
7:24
This is somebody who has both male features as well as female features.
