Chullin 103
אָכַל אֵבֶר מִן הַחַי מִן הַטְּרֵפָה, רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: חַיָּיב שְׁתַּיִם, וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ אָמַר: אֵינוֹ חַיָּיב אֶלָּא אַחַת.
With regard to one who ate a limb from a living animal that is a tereifa, Rabbi Yoḥanan says: He is liable to receive two sets of lashes, and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: He is liable to receive only one set of lashes.
בִּשְׁלָמָא לְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן נִיחָא, אֶלָּא לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ קַשְׁיָא.
The Gemara comments: Granted, according to the opinion of Rabbi Yoḥanan, this works out well because the prohibitions of eating a limb from a living animal and of eating flesh severed from a tereifa are derived from two different verses. But according to the opinion of Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, it is difficult; why does he hold that the individual receives only one set of lashes?
אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: לָא קַשְׁיָא, כָּאן בִּבְהֵמָה אַחַת, כָּאן בִּשְׁתֵּי בְּהֵמוֹת. בִּשְׁתֵּי בְּהֵמוֹת מִיחַיַּיב שְׁתַּיִם, בִּבְהֵמָה אַחַת פְּלִיגִי.
Rav Yosef said: This is not difficult. Here it is referring to one animal, but there it is referring to two animals. Rav Yosef clarifies: In a case of two animals, e.g., where one ate a limb from a living animal and flesh severed from a different animal that was a tereifa, everyone agrees that he is liable to receive two sets of lashes. But in a case where he ate from one animal, e.g., he ate a limb severed from a live tereifa animal, Rabbi Yoḥanan and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish disagree.
בִּבְהֵמָה אַחַת, בְּמַאי פְּלִיגִי? אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: כְּגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה עִם יְצִיאַת רוּבָּהּ, מָר סָבַר: בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה וְאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי קָאָתוּ.
The Gemara asks: With regard to the case of one animal, in what case do they disagree? Abaye said: They disagree, for example, in a case where the animal became a tereifa as the majority of it emerged from its mother’s womb. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that an animal, even during its life, stands to be divided into limbs, and therefore each of its limbs is considered a separate entity; and here the prohibition of eating a tereifa and the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal come into effect at the same time. Consequently, both prohibitions apply.
וּמָר סָבַר, בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְלָא אָתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה.
And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that during its life an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs. Consequently, although the prohibition of eating a tereifa comes into effect when it is born, the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal does not take effect until the limb is actually severed from the animal, and at that point the prohibition of a limb from a living animal does not come and take effect upon the already existing prohibition of a tereifa.
וְאִיבָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר מֵיחַל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה קָא מִיפַּלְגִי: מָר סָבַר אָתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה, וּמָר סָבַר לָא אָתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that during its life an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs, and they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of a limb from a living animal comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of a tereifa. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal, which applies to gentiles as well as to Jews, comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating a tereifa. And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal does not come and take effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating a tereifa.
אִיבָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּכְגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה לְאַחַר מִכָּאן, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר קָא מִיפַּלְגִי.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that an animal, even during its life, stands to be divided into limbs, and the dispute is about a case where the animal became a tereifa afterward, i.e., after it was born, and they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of a tereifa comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of a limb from a living animal.
מָר סָבַר אָתֵי וְחָיֵיל, וּמַר סָבַר לָא אָתֵי וְחָיֵיל.
One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that the prohibition of eating a tereifa comes and takes effect in addition to the already existing prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal. And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that the prohibition of eating a tereifa does not come and take effect in addition to the already existing prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal.
רָבָא אָמַר: כְּגוֹן שֶׁתָּלַשׁ מִמֶּנָּה אֵבֶר וּטְרָפָהּ בּוֹ. מָר סָבַר: בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים אֵינָהּ עוֹמֶדֶת, אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי קָאָתוּ.
Rava says an alternative explanation: This is referring to a case where he severed a limb from the animal and thereby rendered the animal a tereifa. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that during its life, an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs. Consequently, the prohibition of a limb from a living animal and the prohibition of a tereifa come into effect at the same time.
וּמָר סָבַר, בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְלָא אָתֵי אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר.
And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that even during its life, an animal stands to be divided into limbs, and therefore the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal takes effect when the animal is born. Consequently, the prohibition of a tereifa does not come and take effect upon the already existing prohibition of a limb from a living animal.
אָמַר רַבִּי חִיָּיא בַּר אַבָּא, אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אָכַל חֵלֶב מִן הַחַי מִן הַטְּרֵפָה – חַיָּיב שְׁתַּיִם. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַבִּי אַמֵּי: וְלֵימָא מָר שָׁלֹשׁ, שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹמֵר שָׁלֹשׁ. אִיתְּמַר נָמֵי, אָמַר רַבִּי אֲבָהוּ, אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אָכַל חֵלֶב מִן הַחַי מִן הַטְּרֵפָה – חַיָּיב שָׁלֹשׁ.
§ Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba says that Rabbi Yoḥanan says: If one ate forbidden fat from a living animal that is a tereifa he is liable to receive two sets of lashes. Rabbi Ami said to him: But let the Master say that he is liable to three sets of lashes, because I say that the correct version of Rabbi Yoḥanan’s statement is that he is liable to three sets of lashes. It was also stated: Rabbi Abbahu says that Rabbi Yoḥanan says: If one ate forbidden fat from a living animal that is a tereifa he is liable to three sets of lashes.
בְּמַאי קָמִיפַּלְגִי, כְּגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה עִם יְצִיאַת רוּבָּהּ. מַאן דְּאָמַר שָׁלֹשׁ, קָסָבַר: בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, דְּאִיסּוּר חֵלֶב וְאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי קָאָתוּ.
The Gemara asks: With regard to what principle do Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba and Rabbi Ami disagree? They disagree in a case where the animal became a tereifa as the majority of it emerged from its mother’s womb; the one who said that he is liable to three sets of lashes holds that even during its life an animal stands to be divided into limbs, and each of its limbs is considered as a separate entity, so that the prohibition of eating forbidden fat, the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal, and the prohibition of eating a tereifa come into effect at the same time.
וּמַאן דְּאָמַר שְׁתַּיִם, קָסָבַר בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְאִיסּוּר חֵלֶב וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה – אִיכָּא, אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר – לָא אָתֵי חָיֵיל.
And the one who said that he is liable to two sets of lashes holds that during its life, an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs, i.e., its limbs are not considered separate entities while the animal is alive. Consequently, the prohibition of eating forbidden fat and the prohibition of eating a tereifa animal apply, as they came into effect at the same time, when the animal was born. By contrast, the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal does not come and take effect, due to the fact that other prohibitions already apply.
וְאִי בָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר וְחָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר חֵלֶב וְאַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה קָא מִיפַּלְגִי, מָר סָבַר אָתֵי חָיֵיל, וּמַר סָבַר לָא אָתֵי חָיֵיל.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that during its life an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs, and each of its limbs is not considered as a separate entity. But they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating forbidden fat and the already existing prohibition of eating a tereifa. One Sage, Rabbi Ami, holds that it does come and take effect, and one Sage, Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba, holds that it does not come and take effect.
וְאִי בָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּכְגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה לְאַחַר מִכָּאן, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה מֵיחַל אַאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר קָא מִיפַּלְגִי.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that during its life an animal stands to be divided into limbs, and it is a case where the animal became a tereifa afterward, i.e., after it was born; and they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of eating a tereifa comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal.
מָר סָבַר: אָתֵי חָיֵיל, מִידֵּי דְּהָוֵה אַחֵלֶב, דְּאָמַר מָר: הַתּוֹרָה אָמְרָה יָבֹא אִיסּוּר נְבֵלָה יָחוּל עַל אִיסּוּר חֵלֶב, וְיָבֹא אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה יָחוּל עַל אִיסּוּר חֵלֶב.
One Sage, Rabbi Ami, holds that it does come and take effect, just as is the halakha with forbidden fat. As the Master said that in the verse: “And the fat of a carcass, and the fat of a tereifa may be used for any other service; but you shall in no way eat of it” (Leviticus 7:24), the Torah said: Let the prohibition of eating a carcass come and take effect upon the prohibition of eating forbidden fat, despite the fact that the prohibition of forbidden fat came into effect first. And similarly, the word “tereifa” teaches: Let the prohibition of eating a tereifa come and take effect upon the prohibition of eating forbidden fat. Consequently, one who eats forbidden fat from a tereifa is liable to receive two sets of lashes. Rabbi Ami holds that just as the prohibition of eating a tereifa takes effect in addition to the prohibition of eating forbidden fat, it also takes effect in addition to the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal.
וְאִידַּךְ, אַחֵלֶב הוּא דְּחַיָּיב, דְּהוּתַּר
And the other Sage, Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba, holds that it is only the prohibition of eating forbidden fat for which he is liable in addition to being liable for the prohibition of eating a tereifa. The prohibition of eating a tereifa takes effect in addition to the prohibition of eating forbidden fat because with regard to the latter, there are permitted circumstances that serve as exceptions
מִכְּלָלוֹ, אֲבָל אֵבֶר דְּלֹא הוּתַּר מִכְּלָלוֹ – לָא.
to its general prohibition, as the fat of an undomesticated animal is permitted. But with regard to a limb from a living animal, where there are no permitted circumstances to its general prohibition, the prohibition of consuming a tereifa does not take effect.
כִּי אֲתָא רַב דִּימִי אָמַר: בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ מֵרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: חִלְּקוֹ מִבַּחוּץ, מַהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: פָּטוּר.
§ The Gemara continues its discussion of the prohibition against eating a limb from a living animal. When Rav Dimi came from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, he said: Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish inquired of Rabbi Yoḥanan: If one took from a living animal a limb that was an olive-bulk and divided it into two pieces when it was outside his mouth and ate each piece separately, what is the halakha? Rabbi Yoḥanan said to him: He is exempt.
מִבִּפְנִים, מַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: חַיָּיב.
Reish Lakish then asked Rabbi Yoḥanan: If he placed an olive-bulk of a limb from a living animal inside his mouth and then divided it and swallowed the two parts separately, what is the halakha? Rabbi Yoḥanan said to him: He is liable to receive lashes.
כִּי אֲתָא רָבִין אָמַר: חִלְּקוֹ מִבַּחוּץ – פָּטוּר, מִבְּפָנִים – רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר חַיָּיב, וְרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר פָּטוּר.
When Ravin came from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia he said an alternative version of this discussion. If one took from a living animal a limb that was an olive-bulk and divided it into two pieces when it was outside his mouth, and he then ate each piece separately, he is exempt. If he divided the limb into two parts inside his mouth, Rabbi Yoḥanan says that he is liable, and Reish Lakish says that he is exempt.
רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: חַיָּיב, הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת. וְרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר: פָּטוּר, אֲכִילָה בְּמֵעָיו בָּעֵינַן וְלֵיכָּא.
Rabbi Yoḥanan says he is liable because his throat derives pleasure from an olive-bulk of a limb from a living animal. And Reish Lakish says that he is exempt because in order to be liable we require an act of eating that contains the requisite amount, i.e., an olive-bulk, when it enters his stomach, and in this case there is not a full olive-bulk that enters his stomach at one time.
אֶלָּא לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ, הֵיכִי מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ דִּמְחַיֵּיב? אָמַר רַב כָּהֲנָא: בִּגְרוֹמִיתָא זְעֵירְתָּא.
The Gemara asks: According to the opinion of Rabbi Yoḥanan it is clear how one can be liable for eating an olive-bulk of a limb from a living animal. But according to Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, how can you find a case where one will be liable for eating a limb from a living animal, since the food is generally broken up before he swallows it? Rav Kahana said: One would be liable in a case where he eats a small bone that contains an olive-bulk of meat, bone and sinew all together, and that he can swallow whole.
וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר: אֲפִילּוּ חִלְּקוֹ מִבַּחוּץ נָמֵי חַיָּיב, מְחוּסַּר קְרִיבָה לָאו כִּמְחוּסַּר מַעֲשֶׂה דָּמֵי.
As quoted above, Rabbi Yoḥanan and Reish Lakish agree that if one divides a limb from a living animal before placing it in his mouth, he is not liable for eating it. The Gemara adds: But Rabbi Elazar says: Even if one divided the limb outside his mouth he is liable. This is because the fact that the two pieces are lacking in proximity to each other as they are placed in one’s mouth is not comparable to lacking an action, i.e., it is not comparable to a case where he ate only half an olive-bulk. Since he ate an entire olive-bulk, he is liable.
אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ: כְּזַיִת שֶׁאָמְרוּ – חוּץ מִשֶּׁל בֵּין הַשִּׁינַּיִם, וְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: אַף עִם בֵּין הַשִּׁינַּיִם.
§ The Gemara cites another dispute between Rabbi Yoḥanan and Reish Lakish pertaining to the measure of an olive-bulk with regard to prohibitions involving eating. Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: The olive-bulk of which the Sages spoke with regard to prohibitions involving eating is measured by the food one actually swallows, aside from the food that remains stuck between the teeth. And Rabbi Yoḥanan says that it includes even the food that remains stuck between the teeth.
אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: בְּשֶׁל בֵּין שִׁינַּיִם – דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי, כִּי פְּלִיגִי – בֵּין הַחֲנִיכַיִים. מָר סָבַר: הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת, וּמָר סָבַר: אֲכִילָה בְּמֵעָיו בָּעֵינַן.
In explanation of this dispute, Rav Pappa says: With regard to food that remains stuck between the teeth, everyone agrees that it is not included in measuring an olive-bulk that would render one liable to receive lashes. When they disagree it is with regard to food that remains on the palate, which one tastes but does not swallow. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that since his throat derives pleasure from an olive-bulk, i.e., he tastes the full olive-bulk, he is liable. And one Sage, Reish Lakish, holds that in order to be liable, we require an act of eating that contains the requisite amount, i.e., an olive-bulk, when it enters his stomach.
אָמַר רַבִּי אַסִּי אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אָכַל חֲצִי זַיִת וֶהֱקִיאוֹ, וְחָזַר וְאָכַל חֲצִי זַיִת אַחֵר – חַיָּיב. מַאי טַעְמָא? הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת.
§ The Gemara quotes another related ruling of Rabbi Yoḥanan: Rabbi Asi says that Rabbi Yoḥanan says: If one ate half an olive-bulk of a forbidden food and vomited it, and then ate another half an olive-bulk, he is liable. What is the reason? It is because his throat derives pleasure from an olive-bulk of the forbidden food, even though the full olive-bulk did not actually enter his stomach.
בְּעָא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר מֵרַבִּי אַסִּי: אָכַל חֲצִי זַיִת וֶהֱקִיאוֹ וְחָזַר וַאֲכָלוֹ, מַהוּ? מַאי קָא מִיבַּעְיָא לֵיהּ? אִי הָוֵי עִיכּוּל אִי לָא הָוֵי עִיכּוּל, וְתִיבְּעֵי לֵיהּ כְּזַיִת!
Rabbi Elazar raised a dilemma before Rabbi Asi: If one ate half an olive-bulk of forbidden food and vomited it, and then ate it again, what is the halakha? The Gemara clarifies: What is the dilemma he is raising? If it is about whether the half-olive-bulk that he ate and vomited up is considered to have been digested, in which case it is no longer considered food, or whether it is not considered to have been digested, let him raise the dilemma with regard to an entire olive-bulk. If one eats an entire olive-bulk and vomits it and then eats it again, if the food is considered not to have been digested the first time, he is liable to be flogged twice.
אֶלָּא, אִי בָּתַר גְּרוֹנוֹ אָזְלִינַן, אִי בָּתַר מֵעָיו אָזְלִינַן. וְתִפְשׁוֹט לֵיהּ מִדְּרַבִּי אַסִּי!
Rather, his dilemma must be about whether we follow the throat or whether we follow the stomach in measuring how much forbidden food one has swallowed. That being the case, let him resolve the dilemma from that which Rabbi Asi said that Rabbi Yoḥanan said, which indicates that we follow the throat.
רַבִּי אַסִּי גְּמָרֵיהּ אִיעֲקַר לֵיהּ, וַאֲתָא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר לְאַדְכּוֹרֵיהּ, וְהָכִי קָאָמַר לֵיהּ: לְמָה לִי חֲצִי זַיִת אַחֵר? לֵימָא מָר בְּדִידֵיהּ, דְּאִיכָּא לְמִשְׁמַע מִינַּהּ תַּרְתֵּי: שָׁמְעִינַן מִינַּהּ דְּלָא הָוֵי עִיכּוּל, וְשָׁמְעִינַן מִינַּהּ דַּהֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת.
The Gemara explains that Rabbi Elazar knew the answer to his question, but Rabbi Asi forgot the statement that he had learned from Rabbi Yoḥanan, and Rabbi Elazar came to remind him of what he had known previously. And this is what Rabbi Elazar was saying to him: Why do I need the case where he swallows another half an olive-bulk? Let the Master teach this ruling in a case where he swallows the same half-olive-bulk he had swallowed previously and vomited, as two principles can be derived from the ruling in that case: We can learn from it that the food was not considered to have been digested the first time he swallowed it, and we can learn from it that since his throat derives pleasure from a full olive-bulk, he is liable.
אִישְׁתִּיק וְלָא אֲמַר לֵיהּ וְלָא מִידֵּי, אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מוֹפֵת הַדּוֹר, לָא זִימְנִין סַגִּיאִין אָמְרַתְּ קַמֵּיהּ דְּרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן, וְאָמַר לָךְ: הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת?
Rabbi Asi was silent and did not say anything. Rabbi Elazar said to him: Wonder of the generation, did you not say this case many times before Rabbi Yoḥanan, and he said to you: This person is liable because his throat derives pleasure from a full olive-bulk?
הֲדַרַן עֲלָךְ גִּיד הַנָּשֶׁה.
מַתְנִי׳ כׇּל הַבָּשָׂר אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל בְּחָלָב, חוּץ מִבְּשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים, וְאָסוּר לְהַעֲלוֹת עִם הַגְּבִינָה עַל הַשֻּׁלְחָן, חוּץ מִבְּשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים.
MISHNA: It is prohibited to cook any meat of domesticated and undomesticated animals and birds in milk, except for the meat of fish and grasshoppers, whose halakhic status is not that of meat. And likewise, the Sages issued a decree that it is prohibited to place any meat together with milk products, e.g., cheese, on one table. The reason for this prohibition is that one might come to eat them after they absorb substances from each other. This prohibition applies to all types of meat, except for the meat of fish and grasshoppers.

The Hadran Women’s Tapestry
Meet the diverse women learning Gemara at Hadran and hear their stories.
I started learning with rabbis. I needed to know more than the stories. My first teacher to show me “the way of the Talmud” as well as the stories was Samara Schwartz.
Michelle Farber started the new cycle 2 yrs ago and I jumped on for the ride.

Since I started in January of 2020, Daf Yomi has changed my life. It connects me to Jews all over the world, especially learned women. It makes cooking, gardening, and folding laundry into acts of Torah study. Daf Yomi enables me to participate in a conversation with and about our heritage that has been going on for more than 2000 years.
Skokie, IL, United States
I started learning at the beginning of this cycle more than 2 years ago, and I have not missed a day or a daf. It’s been challenging and enlightening and even mind-numbing at times, but the learning and the shared experience have all been worth it. If you are open to it, there’s no telling what might come into your life.

I heard the new Daf Yomi cycle was starting and I was curious, so I searched online for a women’s class and was pleasently surprised to find Rabanit Michelle’s great class reviews in many online articles. It has been a splendid journey. It is a way to fill my days with Torah, learning so many amazing things I have never heard before during my Tanach learning at High School. Thanks so much .

I started learning Daf Yomi inspired by תָּפַסְתָּ מְרוּבֶּה לֹא תָּפַסְתָּ, תָּפַסְתָּ מוּעָט תָּפַסְתָּ. I thought I’d start the first page, and then see. I was swept up into the enthusiasm of the Hadran Siyum, and from there the momentum kept building. Rabbanit Michelle’s shiur gives me an anchor, a connection to an incredible virtual community, and an energy to face whatever the day brings.

I started my journey on the day I realized that the Siyum was happening in Yerushalayim and I was missing out. What? I told myself. How could I have not known about this? How can I have missed out on this opportunity? I decided that moment, I would start Daf Yomi and Nach Yomi the very next day. I am so grateful to Hadran. I am changed forever because I learn Gemara with women. Thank you.
Mitspe, Israel
The first month I learned Daf Yomi by myself in secret, because I wasn’t sure how my husband would react, but after the siyyum on Masechet Brachot I discovered Hadran and now sometimes my husband listens to the daf with me. He and I also learn mishnayot together and are constantly finding connections between the different masechtot.

With Rabbanit Dr. Naomi Cohen in the Women’s Talmud class, over 30 years ago. It was a “known” class and it was accepted, because of who taught. Since then I have also studied with Avigail Gross-Gelman and Dr. Gabriel Hazut for about a year). Years ago, in a shiur in my shul, I did know about Persians doing 3 things with their clothes on.

I never thought I’d be able to do Daf Yomi till I saw the video of Hadran’s Siyum HaShas. Now, 2 years later, I’m about to participate in Siyum Seder Mo’ed with my Hadran community. It has been an incredible privilege to learn with Rabbanit Michelle and to get to know so many caring, talented and knowledgeable women. I look forward with great anticipation and excitement to learning Seder Nashim.
Karmiel, Israel
I’ve been wanting to do Daf Yomi for years, but always wanted to start at the beginning and not in the middle of things. When the opportunity came in 2020, I decided: “this is now the time!” I’ve been posting my journey daily on social media, tracking my progress (#DafYomi); now it’s fully integrated into my daily routines. I’ve also inspired my partner to join, too!
Teaneck, United States
I started learning at the beginning of the cycle after a friend persuaded me that it would be right up my alley. I was lucky enough to learn at Rabbanit Michelle’s house before it started on zoom and it was quickly part of my daily routine. I find it so important to see for myself where halachot were derived, where stories were told and to get more insight into how the Rabbis interacted.
Ra’anana, Israel
I started learning with rabbis. I needed to know more than the stories. My first teacher to show me “the way of the Talmud” as well as the stories was Samara Schwartz.
Michelle Farber started the new cycle 2 yrs ago and I jumped on for the ride.
I do not look back.

I decided to give daf yomi a try when I heard about the siyum hashas in 2020. Once the pandemic hit, the daily commitment gave my days some much-needed structure. There have been times when I’ve felt like quitting- especially when encountering very technical details in the text. But then I tell myself, “Look how much you’ve done. You can’t stop now!” So I keep going & my Koren bookshelf grows…

I learned Mishnayot more than twenty years ago and started with Gemara much later in life. Although I never managed to learn Daf Yomi consistently, I am learning since some years Gemara in depth and with much joy. Since last year I am studying at the International Halakha Scholars Program at the WIHL. I often listen to Rabbanit Farbers Gemara shiurim to understand better a specific sugyiah. I am grateful for the help and inspiration!
Berlin, Germany
After experiences over the years of asking to join gemara shiurim for men and either being refused by the maggid shiur or being the only women there, sometimes behind a mechitza, I found out about Hadran sometime during the tail end of Masechet Shabbat, I think. Life has been much better since then.

I started my Daf Yomi journey at the beginning of the COVID19 pandemic.
Los Angeles, United States
I started learning daf in January, 2020, being inspired by watching the Siyyum Hashas in Binyanei Haumah. I wasn’t sure I would be able to keep up with the task. When I went to school, Gemara was not an option. Fast forward to March, 2022, and each day starts with the daf. The challenge is now learning the intricacies of delving into the actual learning. Hadran community, thank you!

אָכַל אֵבֶר מִן הַחַי מִן הַטְּרֵפָה, רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: חַיָּיב שְׁתַּיִם, וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ אָמַר: אֵינוֹ חַיָּיב אֶלָּא אַחַת.
With regard to one who ate a limb from a living animal that is a tereifa, Rabbi Yoḥanan says: He is liable to receive two sets of lashes, and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: He is liable to receive only one set of lashes.
בִּשְׁלָמָא לְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן נִיחָא, אֶלָּא לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ קַשְׁיָא.
The Gemara comments: Granted, according to the opinion of Rabbi Yoḥanan, this works out well because the prohibitions of eating a limb from a living animal and of eating flesh severed from a tereifa are derived from two different verses. But according to the opinion of Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, it is difficult; why does he hold that the individual receives only one set of lashes?
אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: לָא קַשְׁיָא, כָּאן בִּבְהֵמָה אַחַת, כָּאן בִּשְׁתֵּי בְּהֵמוֹת. בִּשְׁתֵּי בְּהֵמוֹת מִיחַיַּיב שְׁתַּיִם, בִּבְהֵמָה אַחַת פְּלִיגִי.
Rav Yosef said: This is not difficult. Here it is referring to one animal, but there it is referring to two animals. Rav Yosef clarifies: In a case of two animals, e.g., where one ate a limb from a living animal and flesh severed from a different animal that was a tereifa, everyone agrees that he is liable to receive two sets of lashes. But in a case where he ate from one animal, e.g., he ate a limb severed from a live tereifa animal, Rabbi Yoḥanan and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish disagree.
בִּבְהֵמָה אַחַת, בְּמַאי פְּלִיגִי? אָמַר אַבָּיֵי: כְּגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה עִם יְצִיאַת רוּבָּהּ, מָר סָבַר: בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה וְאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי קָאָתוּ.
The Gemara asks: With regard to the case of one animal, in what case do they disagree? Abaye said: They disagree, for example, in a case where the animal became a tereifa as the majority of it emerged from its mother’s womb. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that an animal, even during its life, stands to be divided into limbs, and therefore each of its limbs is considered a separate entity; and here the prohibition of eating a tereifa and the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal come into effect at the same time. Consequently, both prohibitions apply.
וּמָר סָבַר, בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְלָא אָתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה.
And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that during its life an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs. Consequently, although the prohibition of eating a tereifa comes into effect when it is born, the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal does not take effect until the limb is actually severed from the animal, and at that point the prohibition of a limb from a living animal does not come and take effect upon the already existing prohibition of a tereifa.
וְאִיבָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר מֵיחַל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה קָא מִיפַּלְגִי: מָר סָבַר אָתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה, וּמָר סָבַר לָא אָתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that during its life an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs, and they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of a limb from a living animal comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of a tereifa. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal, which applies to gentiles as well as to Jews, comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating a tereifa. And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal does not come and take effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating a tereifa.
אִיבָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּכְגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה לְאַחַר מִכָּאן, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר קָא מִיפַּלְגִי.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that an animal, even during its life, stands to be divided into limbs, and the dispute is about a case where the animal became a tereifa afterward, i.e., after it was born, and they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of a tereifa comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of a limb from a living animal.
מָר סָבַר אָתֵי וְחָיֵיל, וּמַר סָבַר לָא אָתֵי וְחָיֵיל.
One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that the prohibition of eating a tereifa comes and takes effect in addition to the already existing prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal. And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that the prohibition of eating a tereifa does not come and take effect in addition to the already existing prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal.
רָבָא אָמַר: כְּגוֹן שֶׁתָּלַשׁ מִמֶּנָּה אֵבֶר וּטְרָפָהּ בּוֹ. מָר סָבַר: בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים אֵינָהּ עוֹמֶדֶת, אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי קָאָתוּ.
Rava says an alternative explanation: This is referring to a case where he severed a limb from the animal and thereby rendered the animal a tereifa. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that during its life, an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs. Consequently, the prohibition of a limb from a living animal and the prohibition of a tereifa come into effect at the same time.
וּמָר סָבַר, בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְלָא אָתֵי אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה חָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר.
And one Sage, Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, holds that even during its life, an animal stands to be divided into limbs, and therefore the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal takes effect when the animal is born. Consequently, the prohibition of a tereifa does not come and take effect upon the already existing prohibition of a limb from a living animal.
אָמַר רַבִּי חִיָּיא בַּר אַבָּא, אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אָכַל חֵלֶב מִן הַחַי מִן הַטְּרֵפָה – חַיָּיב שְׁתַּיִם. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רַבִּי אַמֵּי: וְלֵימָא מָר שָׁלֹשׁ, שֶׁאֲנִי אוֹמֵר שָׁלֹשׁ. אִיתְּמַר נָמֵי, אָמַר רַבִּי אֲבָהוּ, אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אָכַל חֵלֶב מִן הַחַי מִן הַטְּרֵפָה – חַיָּיב שָׁלֹשׁ.
§ Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba says that Rabbi Yoḥanan says: If one ate forbidden fat from a living animal that is a tereifa he is liable to receive two sets of lashes. Rabbi Ami said to him: But let the Master say that he is liable to three sets of lashes, because I say that the correct version of Rabbi Yoḥanan’s statement is that he is liable to three sets of lashes. It was also stated: Rabbi Abbahu says that Rabbi Yoḥanan says: If one ate forbidden fat from a living animal that is a tereifa he is liable to three sets of lashes.
בְּמַאי קָמִיפַּלְגִי, כְּגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה עִם יְצִיאַת רוּבָּהּ. מַאן דְּאָמַר שָׁלֹשׁ, קָסָבַר: בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, דְּאִיסּוּר חֵלֶב וְאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה בַּהֲדֵי הֲדָדֵי קָאָתוּ.
The Gemara asks: With regard to what principle do Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba and Rabbi Ami disagree? They disagree in a case where the animal became a tereifa as the majority of it emerged from its mother’s womb; the one who said that he is liable to three sets of lashes holds that even during its life an animal stands to be divided into limbs, and each of its limbs is considered as a separate entity, so that the prohibition of eating forbidden fat, the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal, and the prohibition of eating a tereifa come into effect at the same time.
וּמַאן דְּאָמַר שְׁתַּיִם, קָסָבַר בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וְאִיסּוּר חֵלֶב וְאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה – אִיכָּא, אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר – לָא אָתֵי חָיֵיל.
And the one who said that he is liable to two sets of lashes holds that during its life, an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs, i.e., its limbs are not considered separate entities while the animal is alive. Consequently, the prohibition of eating forbidden fat and the prohibition of eating a tereifa animal apply, as they came into effect at the same time, when the animal was born. By contrast, the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal does not come and take effect, due to the fact that other prohibitions already apply.
וְאִי בָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לָאו לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר אֵבֶר וְחָיֵיל אַאִיסּוּר חֵלֶב וְאַאִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה קָא מִיפַּלְגִי, מָר סָבַר אָתֵי חָיֵיל, וּמַר סָבַר לָא אָתֵי חָיֵיל.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that during its life an animal does not stand to be divided into limbs, and each of its limbs is not considered as a separate entity. But they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating forbidden fat and the already existing prohibition of eating a tereifa. One Sage, Rabbi Ami, holds that it does come and take effect, and one Sage, Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba, holds that it does not come and take effect.
וְאִי בָּעֵית אֵימָא, דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא בְּהֵמָה בְּחַיֶּיהָ לְאֵבָרִים עוֹמֶדֶת, וּכְגוֹן שֶׁנִּטְרְפָה לְאַחַר מִכָּאן, וּבְמֵיתֵי אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה מֵיחַל אַאִיסּוּר אֵבֶר קָא מִיפַּלְגִי.
And if you wish, say instead that everyone agrees that during its life an animal stands to be divided into limbs, and it is a case where the animal became a tereifa afterward, i.e., after it was born; and they disagree with regard to whether the prohibition of eating a tereifa comes and takes effect upon the already existing prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal.
מָר סָבַר: אָתֵי חָיֵיל, מִידֵּי דְּהָוֵה אַחֵלֶב, דְּאָמַר מָר: הַתּוֹרָה אָמְרָה יָבֹא אִיסּוּר נְבֵלָה יָחוּל עַל אִיסּוּר חֵלֶב, וְיָבֹא אִיסּוּר טְרֵפָה יָחוּל עַל אִיסּוּר חֵלֶב.
One Sage, Rabbi Ami, holds that it does come and take effect, just as is the halakha with forbidden fat. As the Master said that in the verse: “And the fat of a carcass, and the fat of a tereifa may be used for any other service; but you shall in no way eat of it” (Leviticus 7:24), the Torah said: Let the prohibition of eating a carcass come and take effect upon the prohibition of eating forbidden fat, despite the fact that the prohibition of forbidden fat came into effect first. And similarly, the word “tereifa” teaches: Let the prohibition of eating a tereifa come and take effect upon the prohibition of eating forbidden fat. Consequently, one who eats forbidden fat from a tereifa is liable to receive two sets of lashes. Rabbi Ami holds that just as the prohibition of eating a tereifa takes effect in addition to the prohibition of eating forbidden fat, it also takes effect in addition to the prohibition of eating a limb from a living animal.
וְאִידַּךְ, אַחֵלֶב הוּא דְּחַיָּיב, דְּהוּתַּר
And the other Sage, Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba, holds that it is only the prohibition of eating forbidden fat for which he is liable in addition to being liable for the prohibition of eating a tereifa. The prohibition of eating a tereifa takes effect in addition to the prohibition of eating forbidden fat because with regard to the latter, there are permitted circumstances that serve as exceptions
מִכְּלָלוֹ, אֲבָל אֵבֶר דְּלֹא הוּתַּר מִכְּלָלוֹ – לָא.
to its general prohibition, as the fat of an undomesticated animal is permitted. But with regard to a limb from a living animal, where there are no permitted circumstances to its general prohibition, the prohibition of consuming a tereifa does not take effect.
כִּי אֲתָא רַב דִּימִי אָמַר: בְּעָא מִינֵּיהּ רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ מֵרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: חִלְּקוֹ מִבַּחוּץ, מַהוּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: פָּטוּר.
§ The Gemara continues its discussion of the prohibition against eating a limb from a living animal. When Rav Dimi came from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia, he said: Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish inquired of Rabbi Yoḥanan: If one took from a living animal a limb that was an olive-bulk and divided it into two pieces when it was outside his mouth and ate each piece separately, what is the halakha? Rabbi Yoḥanan said to him: He is exempt.
מִבִּפְנִים, מַאי? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: חַיָּיב.
Reish Lakish then asked Rabbi Yoḥanan: If he placed an olive-bulk of a limb from a living animal inside his mouth and then divided it and swallowed the two parts separately, what is the halakha? Rabbi Yoḥanan said to him: He is liable to receive lashes.
כִּי אֲתָא רָבִין אָמַר: חִלְּקוֹ מִבַּחוּץ – פָּטוּר, מִבְּפָנִים – רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר חַיָּיב, וְרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר פָּטוּר.
When Ravin came from Eretz Yisrael to Babylonia he said an alternative version of this discussion. If one took from a living animal a limb that was an olive-bulk and divided it into two pieces when it was outside his mouth, and he then ate each piece separately, he is exempt. If he divided the limb into two parts inside his mouth, Rabbi Yoḥanan says that he is liable, and Reish Lakish says that he is exempt.
רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: חַיָּיב, הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת. וְרֵישׁ לָקִישׁ אָמַר: פָּטוּר, אֲכִילָה בְּמֵעָיו בָּעֵינַן וְלֵיכָּא.
Rabbi Yoḥanan says he is liable because his throat derives pleasure from an olive-bulk of a limb from a living animal. And Reish Lakish says that he is exempt because in order to be liable we require an act of eating that contains the requisite amount, i.e., an olive-bulk, when it enters his stomach, and in this case there is not a full olive-bulk that enters his stomach at one time.
אֶלָּא לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ, הֵיכִי מַשְׁכַּחַתְּ לַהּ דִּמְחַיֵּיב? אָמַר רַב כָּהֲנָא: בִּגְרוֹמִיתָא זְעֵירְתָּא.
The Gemara asks: According to the opinion of Rabbi Yoḥanan it is clear how one can be liable for eating an olive-bulk of a limb from a living animal. But according to Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish, how can you find a case where one will be liable for eating a limb from a living animal, since the food is generally broken up before he swallows it? Rav Kahana said: One would be liable in a case where he eats a small bone that contains an olive-bulk of meat, bone and sinew all together, and that he can swallow whole.
וְרַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר אָמַר: אֲפִילּוּ חִלְּקוֹ מִבַּחוּץ נָמֵי חַיָּיב, מְחוּסַּר קְרִיבָה לָאו כִּמְחוּסַּר מַעֲשֶׂה דָּמֵי.
As quoted above, Rabbi Yoḥanan and Reish Lakish agree that if one divides a limb from a living animal before placing it in his mouth, he is not liable for eating it. The Gemara adds: But Rabbi Elazar says: Even if one divided the limb outside his mouth he is liable. This is because the fact that the two pieces are lacking in proximity to each other as they are placed in one’s mouth is not comparable to lacking an action, i.e., it is not comparable to a case where he ate only half an olive-bulk. Since he ate an entire olive-bulk, he is liable.
אָמַר רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ: כְּזַיִת שֶׁאָמְרוּ – חוּץ מִשֶּׁל בֵּין הַשִּׁינַּיִם, וְרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: אַף עִם בֵּין הַשִּׁינַּיִם.
§ The Gemara cites another dispute between Rabbi Yoḥanan and Reish Lakish pertaining to the measure of an olive-bulk with regard to prohibitions involving eating. Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish says: The olive-bulk of which the Sages spoke with regard to prohibitions involving eating is measured by the food one actually swallows, aside from the food that remains stuck between the teeth. And Rabbi Yoḥanan says that it includes even the food that remains stuck between the teeth.
אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: בְּשֶׁל בֵּין שִׁינַּיִם – דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא לָא פְּלִיגִי, כִּי פְּלִיגִי – בֵּין הַחֲנִיכַיִים. מָר סָבַר: הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת, וּמָר סָבַר: אֲכִילָה בְּמֵעָיו בָּעֵינַן.
In explanation of this dispute, Rav Pappa says: With regard to food that remains stuck between the teeth, everyone agrees that it is not included in measuring an olive-bulk that would render one liable to receive lashes. When they disagree it is with regard to food that remains on the palate, which one tastes but does not swallow. One Sage, Rabbi Yoḥanan, holds that since his throat derives pleasure from an olive-bulk, i.e., he tastes the full olive-bulk, he is liable. And one Sage, Reish Lakish, holds that in order to be liable, we require an act of eating that contains the requisite amount, i.e., an olive-bulk, when it enters his stomach.
אָמַר רַבִּי אַסִּי אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן: אָכַל חֲצִי זַיִת וֶהֱקִיאוֹ, וְחָזַר וְאָכַל חֲצִי זַיִת אַחֵר – חַיָּיב. מַאי טַעְמָא? הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת.
§ The Gemara quotes another related ruling of Rabbi Yoḥanan: Rabbi Asi says that Rabbi Yoḥanan says: If one ate half an olive-bulk of a forbidden food and vomited it, and then ate another half an olive-bulk, he is liable. What is the reason? It is because his throat derives pleasure from an olive-bulk of the forbidden food, even though the full olive-bulk did not actually enter his stomach.
בְּעָא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר מֵרַבִּי אַסִּי: אָכַל חֲצִי זַיִת וֶהֱקִיאוֹ וְחָזַר וַאֲכָלוֹ, מַהוּ? מַאי קָא מִיבַּעְיָא לֵיהּ? אִי הָוֵי עִיכּוּל אִי לָא הָוֵי עִיכּוּל, וְתִיבְּעֵי לֵיהּ כְּזַיִת!
Rabbi Elazar raised a dilemma before Rabbi Asi: If one ate half an olive-bulk of forbidden food and vomited it, and then ate it again, what is the halakha? The Gemara clarifies: What is the dilemma he is raising? If it is about whether the half-olive-bulk that he ate and vomited up is considered to have been digested, in which case it is no longer considered food, or whether it is not considered to have been digested, let him raise the dilemma with regard to an entire olive-bulk. If one eats an entire olive-bulk and vomits it and then eats it again, if the food is considered not to have been digested the first time, he is liable to be flogged twice.
אֶלָּא, אִי בָּתַר גְּרוֹנוֹ אָזְלִינַן, אִי בָּתַר מֵעָיו אָזְלִינַן. וְתִפְשׁוֹט לֵיהּ מִדְּרַבִּי אַסִּי!
Rather, his dilemma must be about whether we follow the throat or whether we follow the stomach in measuring how much forbidden food one has swallowed. That being the case, let him resolve the dilemma from that which Rabbi Asi said that Rabbi Yoḥanan said, which indicates that we follow the throat.
רַבִּי אַסִּי גְּמָרֵיהּ אִיעֲקַר לֵיהּ, וַאֲתָא רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר לְאַדְכּוֹרֵיהּ, וְהָכִי קָאָמַר לֵיהּ: לְמָה לִי חֲצִי זַיִת אַחֵר? לֵימָא מָר בְּדִידֵיהּ, דְּאִיכָּא לְמִשְׁמַע מִינַּהּ תַּרְתֵּי: שָׁמְעִינַן מִינַּהּ דְּלָא הָוֵי עִיכּוּל, וְשָׁמְעִינַן מִינַּהּ דַּהֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת.
The Gemara explains that Rabbi Elazar knew the answer to his question, but Rabbi Asi forgot the statement that he had learned from Rabbi Yoḥanan, and Rabbi Elazar came to remind him of what he had known previously. And this is what Rabbi Elazar was saying to him: Why do I need the case where he swallows another half an olive-bulk? Let the Master teach this ruling in a case where he swallows the same half-olive-bulk he had swallowed previously and vomited, as two principles can be derived from the ruling in that case: We can learn from it that the food was not considered to have been digested the first time he swallowed it, and we can learn from it that since his throat derives pleasure from a full olive-bulk, he is liable.
אִישְׁתִּיק וְלָא אֲמַר לֵיהּ וְלָא מִידֵּי, אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מוֹפֵת הַדּוֹר, לָא זִימְנִין סַגִּיאִין אָמְרַתְּ קַמֵּיהּ דְּרַבִּי יוֹחָנָן, וְאָמַר לָךְ: הֲרֵי נֶהֱנָה גְּרוֹנוֹ בִּכְזַיִת?
Rabbi Asi was silent and did not say anything. Rabbi Elazar said to him: Wonder of the generation, did you not say this case many times before Rabbi Yoḥanan, and he said to you: This person is liable because his throat derives pleasure from a full olive-bulk?
הֲדַרַן עֲלָךְ גִּיד הַנָּשֶׁה.
מַתְנִי׳ כׇּל הַבָּשָׂר אָסוּר לְבַשֵּׁל בְּחָלָב, חוּץ מִבְּשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים, וְאָסוּר לְהַעֲלוֹת עִם הַגְּבִינָה עַל הַשֻּׁלְחָן, חוּץ מִבְּשַׂר דָּגִים וַחֲגָבִים.
MISHNA: It is prohibited to cook any meat of domesticated and undomesticated animals and birds in milk, except for the meat of fish and grasshoppers, whose halakhic status is not that of meat. And likewise, the Sages issued a decree that it is prohibited to place any meat together with milk products, e.g., cheese, on one table. The reason for this prohibition is that one might come to eat them after they absorb substances from each other. This prohibition applies to all types of meat, except for the meat of fish and grasshoppers.
