24:33Shalom RosnerHOST
So this Chuma might be Chuma Durabanan.
S
24:36Shalom RosnerHOST
Again, Tumtum is ambiguous.
S
24:40Shalom RosnerHOST
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.
S
24:47Shalom RosnerHOST
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.
S
25:03Shalom RosnerHOST
Androgynous knows he has a low Nisa, and Androgynous could marry a woman, but cannot marry a man.
Nazir 13Aa: R' Moshe Aharon Friedman
M
0:15Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
Poshet.
M
0:16Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
Noiled Le'Bas, or a Tumtum, or an Androgynous, ain't a Nozir.
M
0:18Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
Because a Bas, and Kamayken, a Tumtum, an Androgynous, even Misofik, is not going to be a Nozir.
M
0:24Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
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.
M
0:29Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
Because it's not a vade ben, and if it's not a vade ben, it's not Chalde Nazir's.
M
1:47Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
So, loit etanakama, that the first time it wasn't an ozer, so now it's a rei z'nozer.
M
1:50Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
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.
M
1:59Moshe Aharon FriedmanHOST
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.
Nidah 12
Y
0:18Yisrael BankierHOST
There are two types of not clarity or uncleanness, if that's a word.
Y
0:23Yisrael BankierHOST
A Tumtum is where the private part is covered over.
Y
0:26Yisrael BankierHOST
We're not really sure what the gender is.
Y
0:27Yisrael BankierHOST
However, Androgynous seems to exhibit both private parts of a male and female.
Y
0:37Yisrael BankierHOST
In other words, the Tumah and Tarah periods, or Dam Toah periods, have to be Machmir like both.
Y
0:41Yisrael BankierHOST
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.
Y
0:45Yisrael BankierHOST
Tumtum v'zachar androgynous v'zachar.
Y
0:48Yisrael BankierHOST
Also, you have to be concerned, maybe, the tumtum androgynous is zachar, so to share...
1st Perek: Laws of Mtamei Mishkov UMoishav
A
11:23Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
And a man becomes Tomei by having a white-like fluid flowing from him.
A
11:29Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
Tumtum is a person whose genitals are concealed in the body.
A
11:35Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
It has never been revealed.
A
11:36Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
And therefore it is unknown if he is either a male or a female.
A
15:11Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
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.
A
15:25Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
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.
A
15:40Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
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.
A
15:57Avraham Meyer ZajacHOST
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.
Rambam: Metamei Mishkav uMoshav, Chapters 1-3
R
4:45ResnickHOST
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.
R
4:54ResnickHOST
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.
R
5:00ResnickHOST
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.
R
5:07ResnickHOST
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.
R
5:36ResnickHOST
Let's say he had a discharge of white substance.
R
5:39ResnickHOST
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.
R
5:48ResnickHOST
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.
R
6:01ResnickHOST
In which case, the omission of white substance would not create Tumah for him.
Rambam: Metamme'ey Mishkav uMoshav Chapter 1, 2, 3
A
9:42Avraham ZajacHOST
Only.
A
9:46Avraham ZajacHOST
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.
A
9:59Avraham ZajacHOST
They are re-extringent on both sides, which means, they acquire Tumah B'loivan if some sort of white semen leaves their body.
A
10:08Avraham ZajacHOST
And they also become Tame if there's a flow of Dam, leaving their bodies like an Isha.
Bikkurim 1.4-1.7
S
7:04speaker_0HOST
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.
S
7:16speaker_0HOST
The Tumtum, this is somebody who neither has male signs or female signs.
S
7:22speaker_0HOST
The Androgynous, this is the opposite.
S
7:24speaker_0HOST
This is somebody who has both male features as well as female features.
