[clears throat] So we continue discussing the status of a Bechor.
And if you remember yesterday, we mentioned briefly the Shita of Rabbi Yossi ben Hamishulam.
We mentioned it briefly, but we didn't say what he said.
So today, we are going to discuss a very interesting Halakha.
You're not allowed to be gozez a Bechor.
The question is, what do you do if-- We know there's a Halakha, we had in Masechet Chulin, that when you shecht an animal, the sakan cannot be hidden.
It's called Chalada.
So if you're shechting a sheep, there's wool in the way.
So how are you going to be able to shecht the sheep without moving away some of the wool and doing a proper Shechita? And at the same time, you're not allowed to be gozez a Bechor.
So lechaye, it's a catch 22 situation.
How do you have a proper Shechita [clears throat] and be go-- and not be gozez the Bechor? So Rabbi Yossi ben Hamishulam says like this: Rabbi Yossi ben Hamishulam, "imei hashechet es habechor, oseh makom bekoifetz mikana mikana", you make a spot, you clear away the hair with a koifetz, that you're allowed to do, in order [clears throat] to be able to do a Shechita.
"Vetoiles es hashear", you can pull out the hair that's blocking the knife.
"Ubalvad shelo ya'azizanu mimkomah", but you shouldn't move it, uh, the hair out of its place.
Why? Rashi explains, 'cause if you're gonna move the hair, people are gonna think you're allowed to be gozez a sheep, and you're not allowed to.
[clears throat] So therefore, we tell you, you could remove the hair, but leave it in its place.
"Vechein hateiles-- shetoiles es hashear lo ra'ai smakom hamom." Same thing if you want to see the makom ha'mom, and you can't see it if there's-- if there is a wool blocking it, so you're allowed to up, uh-- pull out the wool, or we're using the term shear.
You're allowed to remove it in order to be able to see the mom.
