Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.

The Mishnah presents a dispute between Rabbi Shimon and the Sages regarding whether it is possible to reduce the permissible time for eating consecrated offerings. That is, when there is a mixture of two sacrifices—one that only priests may eat for a limited time, and another that non-priests may eat for a longer period—may one treat the shelamim as though it were an asham, thereby resolving the problem of the mixture? Rabbi Shimon rules that this is permissible, while the Sages disagree. What is the full scope of Rabbi Shimon’s position? Abaye proves in the Gemara that Rabbi Shimon spoke of such permission even lechatchila. The Rishonim disagree in explaining Abaye’s proof for Rabbi Shimon. Join us as we study and uncover this debate, which—surprisingly—turns out to hinge on a textual variant in the Mishnah in Ma’aser Sheni.
