CHAZARAH - Bechoros Daf 6 | "Nothing but the Daf" with R' Eli Stefansky

[music] [screaming] Dearelli, I was in my daughter's room one year after her passing. I relieved the heartbreaking moment I went to wake her and realized that her presence was suddenly no longer here. She's only 2 years old now. The day goes by that I don't miss you, Celia. Your light, your love, and your beautiful nama will remain with me forever. This year on the anniversary of her passing, I pick up Afghar to learn in the very place that was extremely painful to turn that pain to strength to strength to show the family what's truly important in life. Regardless of the pain we're facing, we move forward. During Chuba, we remind ourselves that life isn't ours. Our every precious minute of our day belongs to Hashem. We all have excuses of why we can't learn. We're busy. We're in pain. We're distracted. This year has been extremely challenging to say the least. But we can't lose sight of our focus and that's to get closer to Hashem was a major undertaking but was an important milestone for me to be able to finish through the pain. The highlight of my summer came when I was at a concert and the song came on my children changed the words to on the spot to do the dab and started dancing with me to know that I overcame adversity. I was able to learn the entire and show my family myself what's really worth living for. student Joe's should have we're holding like I don't know 20 something lines from the bottom 22 lines we're going to start right before that >> the Mishna discusses the case of a nidva nidma is [clears throat] an animal that's born. It's a It's a weird looking animal. It It comes from a cow and a and a bull. It's supposed to be It is a cow, but it really looks like a donkey. It looks like an elephant. Looks like something else. It It doesn't really resemble its parents. And the Misha discusses that it's from you don't have to give it, but you're allowed to eat it. It's real. It's a kosher animal because both its parents are kosher and it goes by the parents. But in terms of and the mish brings down the of twice. We just learned a few lines that we could actually read it real quickly or we Okay, we'll read it real quick. We have a lot to catch up on. makes it seem if it resembles the mother a little bit. How do we know? Another position is [clears throat] telling us that the mother looks like a cow. The offspring looks like a cow. Then they must resemble the mother. Maybe you should be even if you don't have the full. Okay, so this is where we got to ask but in our we bring another why says because there is a that brings this other and he goes like this who gets word for word like we just said it has to be it has to the mother has to be a sheep and the offspring a sheep two ways. If you look at the it keeps on saying the same thing over and over the mother and offspring have to be all of the same species look the same. I think if it looks like in our picture our picture this thing looks like a cow. Yes, it also looks like a like a donkey, but it's very cow looking like so that's simon sim is not referring to the sim of maf paras referring to the characteristics of the animal it looks like looks a little bit like a cow so that that also is no such thing you are but so why does our bring and he's bringing the says So our Tishna that brings the a monetary not a physical and we start off from the donkey and we learn also to other to the other animals that have inherent when they're born as a no First the Tyrus talks about the of a cow of a and then we'll learn the monetary one from that one. So now we have a classic which goes through all the steps. Why doesn't our Tana use the and why doesn't who uses why doesn't he use Yeah, if you did even these are the three things from from the animals that you put on the if you see over here we're talking about the fat the fats the kidneys and the uh skirt steak the cover put it on the now in the it says all three. Why do you need all three? says very simple very simple garra very easy classic I need each one has a little bit of and that's why I need to say it by each one they have to put the fats on the we know bull give a lot of wine by a lot of wine give that's double the amount of wine right when you bring a a carbon it goes with wines bring So this is double because it's a larger animal right the large animal you give a lot of wine half a h a smaller animal you give a a quarter of a h so that's why maybe I I give so much wine maybe I have to put the fats on the so why does the tell me that you have to put the fats of the sheep there's a picture that our one and only I didn't know he's coming threw this in here where is it if I can find it here. Alia, he sent me this picture. If you're already here, let's ask some questions. The typical sheep doesn't have such fat, >> right? >> So, this is a special type. Okay. So, this is a you know the famous I used to show the video over there selling putting in a plastic bag cutting the whole thing. Okay. It's a delicacy. This the talks about the alio about the the tail. So, why does the talk about a goat? If a a single individual does he has to bring a special by a by goat. So maybe only a goat you have to bring the fat on all three also a classic. Now we saw each one has something special. But why can't I learn one out of two? Oneonone you can't learn cuz I can't learn a goat from a sheep because a sheep has a tail and a goat doesn't. But if I take a goat and a sheep and try to learn a cow from a goat and a sheep, maybe that will work. >> [clears throat] >> Ah, if you already did it, let me just show it real quickly. Learn two from one. You can't because each one has something special. Can't learn two from one next. But let's learn one from two. In other words, why is it have to say it three times? Say it only twice by a goat and a sheep. And we'll learn the sh from the goat and the sheep. You can't learn one from two. Both avas and a goat and a sheep are both good for carbon. A bull a cow is not good for carbon. So right the turist talk about a that what that the fat goes on. You can't learn the from the a. Why? Because when makes a mistake and tells they could do a certain type of and they do it then wants to bring a pirate they're special they're very powerful but a sheep not maybe sheep you don't have to bring the don't say by a goat the the have something special there's a lot of wine by a cow there's a there's the Um by the that's why you need all three says now already uses the to tell me what that enidma this this interesting looking animal that looks like a donkey was born by from a cow from he already uses it up now. So what does he how is he going to learn all these three things? We just used up the for this the extra word over and over. It should say it once in this. It should say one time three words after. Why do you have to keep on saying now the obvious question who learns the whole concept of nidma a funny looking animal that's born from a cow from why don't he learn it from the same from what does he do in the It says in the that every nonposure animal you should do a it doesn't say donkey here in this doesn't talk about a donkey it talks about a general thing here this the end of the if you read this p the end it means even a camel even a lion if you have a pet lion and and she gives birth to a a new a firstborn you have to give a you have to be you have to give a value it says doesn't talk about a donkey even horses and camels that's why he uses the for telling me no other animals are potter asked the wait a minute who told you you potter completely Maybe you from a sheep. Maybe you don't have to redeem sheep. The special we're hoping to do one. Rabbi said, "What was the what's so special about redeeming with a sheep?" Remember we said this. We got to say it again. I see the remembers what's special about redeeming a donkey with a sheep >> versus cashion. >> It's less than the value. If you have a donkey that's worth $500, you have to give the co $500. But if you want, you give him a sheep that's worth $22. That's the that's the what's special about a sheep. So it says [clears throat] last line on the battle maybe what it's coming to exclude is that a donkey you could use less than the value if you use a sheep but when it comes to donkeys horses and camels you also have to do a who says you're not at all you are the says it's is saying that you should redeem it with everything with not you don't get you don't get away with redeeming with with a sheep for that I have no that's what does you don't have to do on a horse or a camel so now we're also doing something super simple very Very simple. A lot of people say this every morning. And just because you say it every morning, I realized it doesn't always mean that you know it. So what does it say over here? It's very very simple. You look the words tell you everything. Something that was in a in a in the category. In other words, we're talking about non-cooser animals. A a donkey is no different than every other kosher non-cooser animal. It's a non-coosher animal called dover. So it was in the category and the Tyra took it out of the category and then and highlighted it said a donkey have to do. So usually when the Tyra does that the Torah is saying you should learn to all non-coosher animals not just that all non-coosher animals it's not coming to teach on itself. So now we know what it means. It comes to teach for the whole category. In other words, if there's a pigar, so there should be a pig s a pet with the sheep with the sheep with the sheep. The same thing. It comes out of the the general rule to teaching for the whole for the whole category. In other words, all non-cos animals, all animals you should be able to redeem with a sheep. And that's why. So the the me is not coming to say that you shouldn't do it at all. The m is coming to say you shouldn't use shouldn't use a sheep body horse. You should have to redeem it with money. So for that theor answers and very longer in other words all the saying is why did it say the word twice why I need the word twice for that comes great now our town in the Mishna says twice to teach us the what'sma this picture of a donkey looking cow. It's came from a cow. We know 100% it's genetically a cow. Just it looks strange. We're going to learn a person can give give birth to something that looks like a fish to this there's all all these it happens big mim you know the different diseases it doesn't mean it looks mom has long ears it's it's a it's a a fluke you know like it's not a it's notamar it looks a person could be born looking like an elephant whatever it just it happens but it doesn't mean it's an elephant right there's no elephant develop there. So if he's using the word to teach us this that there's no on a on a donkey looking cow. So how does he learn this meal that we just said that you don't there's no there's no by by a horse very simple simple theor says that includes all types of animals that's a generalization so we're not talking about the more complicated one cl we're talking about the simple one clat there's only one afterwards There's a there's a there's a there's a generalization all animals and then it goes into a detail. The detail says there's only three that you have to do to op. So when the T does that the T is very specific and you don't add anything else. If it's cloud, prat and cloud, then the Torah is very generally very gen generalizing. The prat tells us some conditions. But when there's only one cl and a prat, then the Torah is not being general. It's not it's not talking in general terms. It's not talking about all animals. Talking about very specific animals and only these animals. Okay. Yeah. Did I just confuse everybody? It's also one of the end and the story. How do you ask me how do you know to exclude horses? Because is a it says that's it. Super simple. Check this out. If you look at the all of a sudden it's a little different than what we thought. It says that's a and then it goes into detail. The problem is it's another but not only another but there's a word separating that word pet ruins it. It's not another generalization. It's not a it's not it's not explaining the rule. The rule was all your animals and then it says and then there's a imagine if it was in another par completely. it was somewhere else. Why would you say all in one category? The word ruins it. So the gor is going to answer no the in front of the combines it and so then he asks but wait a minute why do you have to chop it down and then add a v to just take out the word do why why are you stopping it and then adding a v to include it? Just don't put the whole word of pet there. So gives a reason why because is in another category. It's a it's a dummy animal. It's only the other two are kosher animals. That's why I'm putting in another category. But I'm telling you it's in the same category. They're all so that's also in a few lines. I'm just explaining what is right. Yeah, there's a VV. So the VV makes as if the the pet is not even there. Don't do me any favors. Don't stop it and don't add it and then you don't need anything. So why does it say the word? Obviously the wants to stop it and it's not one category or not. There's the word there. There's a reason why the divided them but also showed you that they're together. Why the is the donkey only has monetary value the said they're born they're like a baby that's born has until you redeem it has said the say stop and then the puts it together all right new brand new actually these are things we're familiar with so we have three different categories really category number on is so this is like the the best category. Why? Cuz the mother is a cow, a kosher animal plus she's she has she could have she's in the par of the father is is good. He's a bull and the son is also very good. Why? whose kamar is in the para of >> if the baby over here was an elephant then it would be a different story because elephants are not in the par of but over here you have the mother is perfect and even the son the offspring is in the par of so that's the best best case if the son would be a horse that would be bad worse not bad but worse [cough] so we have three different cases here case Number one, the Garra asks. And then the Garra says, "Thank you." The Gomorrah says, "Okay, and let's say this case, what about the case that's a little worse than that? That the horse came out. And what are the three cases in this thing that the animals look different than their parents? In other words, is there a situation here? Is thear [cough and clears throat] So in this case, The min this is even a better case. We're not even discussing this. Why? Because over here a goat gave birth to something that looks like a sheep. But they're both kosher animals. Even the offspring is kosher. They're both in the parish. Everything's great. Why? The mother's animal. The offspring. One is a goat, one sheep, but they're both they both cause. But in our case, we're a cow give birth donkey the offspring is so what the different categories maybe a cow and a donkey are in the in the You're right. One is one is but they're both And even so, okay, let's say we're going to go with this case that what they're both in the category of and therefore this donkey looking cow is what about another case? The boy said, what is this? A horse or a donkey? >> What is that? >> This is a donkey. This is a real donkey. This is a donkey. It It looks like a horse. No. Come on. Look. >> Look how big it is. Imm looks like a horse. If you take away the ears, I would think it's a horse personally. >> The eyes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's like >> Yeah, it's real. Okay. So, a donkey. What happens if something like this? Yeah. A donkey gave birth to to a horse looking thing. A horse is not in the category of he's not in the but it's very similar to its mother. They're both animals. Okay. So let's say you'll say that since he's not different than his mother they have and he actually looks like his mother a donkey. He's a stickle donkey looking and he's a tommy animal. So therefore, so what about the a cow who gave birth to a horselook thing? It's different than a donkey looking thing. Why? Because if she gives birth to a donkey, then a donkeyy's in the par. But a horse is not in the both different categories. A horse don't do. So this one has nothing going on here. The horse is not in the par. It's not kosher. Nothing. And the the mother is not kosher. It has nothing going for it. But one thing it has going for it. It looks it has certain characteristics of a donkey. It's it looks more like a horse, but it has characteristic of a donkey. So maybe that is enough. These characteristics are enough says when a cow gives birth to some sort of Tommy animal. We don't know exactly what if the looks like the cow a little bit. It doesn't say what she gave birth to. It says a tummy animal. So perhaps even a horselooking animal. That was our question. And you see that if it looks similar to the mother it's talking about means a cow gave birth to a donkey looking thing. So we have two the two cases two of the speakers that we just spoke about in one line. It says a cow that gave birth this this case gave birth to something looks like a donkey. And that's this case, is it? No, not this case. Sorry. This case, the stroller case. [clears throat] That's the second the other suffic we had. It says, so if you and I were reading this, we would think the goes on both cases. We just had two cases and we come up with the conclusion. Case number one is a cow gives birth to a donkey. Case number two is a donkey gives birth a horse. >> [clears throat] >> This answers the second case that if a donkey gives birth to a horse from sorry if that look like it says it's only talking about talks about but okay [clears throat] it's only going on one of the two cases the first case the easy case that uh both of them are the mother is a cow the offspring is a donkey the both have if it looks like the mother so why does it say the other case of course [clears throat] when both are in the category of you tell me if it doesn't look it doesn't have the mother they're both in the parish from. So in the case that it gave birth to something that's not in the parish of it gave birth to a horse, of course he should be why I have to tell it's a little different than I said yesterday. When the mother has [clears throat] horns, [snorts] it's a bull. It's a It's a cow. The offspring, the donkey doesn't have horns says. The mother has kosher hooves. They're they're split hooves and the baby doesn't. But in the case where the mother is a donkey, the son is a horse, they both don't have horns, they both have nonves. This horse is actually a donkey. It's a red donkey. Mashalon. So rashi says most horses are red. So [clears throat] the say most horses are red. I've never seen a red horse even once in my life. So I've seen a lot of brown horses. So what the when when the says really means are you allowed to eat a donkey looking animal that was born from a cow and a bull and it says yes [clears throat] and it says you can look at after it says you're allowed to eat a donkey that came from two cows and it gives us a clout Anything that comes out of a non-coosher, if a lion gives birth to a cow looking animal, you're not allowed to eat it. And anything that comes out of a kosher looking animal is why do I need to say that? Why do I need to repeat the clown? Says it's for you to remember that you shouldn't confuse it. Don't look at the at the product, the final product. You're looking at a cow. Oh, so what if its parents were lions? It's a cow. No. And you're going to say that you're eat this lion that looks like a cow and you're going to look at the offspring and say this is a donkey. You're not allowed to eat it. You should always go after its mother. How do you know that you're allowed to eat even though it looks like a horse? It's a horse. You're allowed to eat it. There are things that even though the mother has all the things there's a category of animal that that has him of kosher but [clears throat and snorts] if the mother and father are lions and now comes a cow with split hooves and it even it's unbelievable and even regurgitates its food now eat it you I'm saying exterior simony that's one thing but to have that it actually acts like a pel let's say there's such a thing you're not allowed to eat it maybe the tell you that if a donkey comes out of a two cows that you're not allowed to eat what does it say that it has split hooves if it doesn't go no mother has all the same on him. But the offspring, this this donkey doesn't. If you have a donkey that's born from a cow, you're allowed to eat it. Says the word twice. You're not allowed to eat a regular camel. And if you have a camel that was born from two kosher animals, you also know how to eat it. What do they do with the go? You hear this? The milk of a camel is also why would anybody think anybody have a good reason? Why would you think that the milk of a camel is comes from a non-cosure animal? [cough] I [clears throat] don't know if we'll get there today. It's on this. But the idea is that milk is a tremendous that you allow to drink something from a live animal. It's like almost like sort of milking it. S is always or not always. We'll see in a second. S is rabbis. Not not only is a camel also to eat but even its milk they don't they don't learn the word s the famous here it goes little he had all safer he got he said okay everything every s comes to include something but it says in that you should fear Hashem. What are you going to add to that? There's only one Hashem. How can you add? I don't understand. You worked so hard in all of this. What are you going to do with it? The wants me to to have your and fear Hashem and do what's right. I'm going to get first. We're going to get says no I could help you out. There is a there is a a boy think about it is the f famous what's famous for he said give me let me bite him like a donkey and now he's saying later on you have to be you have to fear like you fear sort of but it comes to be okay have a wonderful Merit the of spreading Torah throughout the world.
