We're talking about the hole now, right? That was our discussion.

Uh...

So is it a hole that the vegetable gains freely or gets stuck inside? I haven't heard the answer to that.

It's a good question.

I've heard a similar story with regards to a hole.

And what is that? We saw this not long ago.

Right, in Chulin.

Right, okay.

I remember.

No, no, no.

In Chulin, we learned the Salokha.

Remember? That the Shidra and the Gugolet Shechashru.

that in order for a body to cause tumour or hell, remember, in a house, so we said that it was the majority of the body with the head and the spinal column, the whole back of the body, etc., it was missing a part.

If the head, for example, had a missing or the spinal cord was missing a part, it wouldn't matter.

You know, it would lose its, what's it looking for? It would lose the integrity as like a complete, complete, complete concept.

And we learned there in the Mishnah, the spinal column and the skull.

So with a span, that's the question, how much is missing? How much has to be missing? In other words, what's the least amount that needs to be missing that it's no longer considered a shidra to cause too much oil? Two disks, I imagine, right? What's a chulia? Vertebrae.

Vertebrae.

Sorry, the discs are in between the vertebrae.

Sorry, that's not the right hand, right? The disc in the vertebrae.

Right? He says one.

In other words, Beit Shammah is more Machmeh, right? Because Beit Shammah says that until it's missing two, it's still Macham Mechabel Tumah.

So if it's only missing one, it is Macham Mechabel Tumah.

If it's missing two, it won't cause Tumah.

But Hidal says, no, already at one, it's no longer Metameh.
