Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

And there exists one who says, "It defiled me, and I purified it." How so? A patch that was attached to a basket defiles one and disqualifies one. [If] it was separated from the basket, the basket defiles one and disqualifies one, but the patch [itself] is pure.*See Mishneh Torah, Vessels 23:8 Behold, this one says, "It defiled me, and I purified it."

Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

How did Israel recite the blessings and the curses? Six tribes ascended to the top of Mount Gerizim, and six tribes ascended to the top of Mount Ebal. The priests and the Levites and the Ark stood below in the middle [of the two mountains]. The priests circled the Ark and the Levites circled the priests, and Israel was on both sides, as it is said (Josh. 8:33), "All of Israel and its Elders [... stood on either side of the Ark]." What does the verse come to teach? That half of [the people] were in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of [the people] were in front of Mount Ebal. It teaches that the emissaries of Mount Gerizim were more numerous than the emissaries of Mount Ebal, because some of the tribe of Levi were below. Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov says, it is impossible to say that "Levi were below," for it already says, "Levi were on top" (see Deut. 27:12) and it is impossible to say "Levi were on top," for it already says, "Levi were below." It means that from that moment, the Elders of the priesthood and the Levites were below, and the remainder were above. Rebbi says, those who were worthy of ministering stood below, and those who were not worthy of ministering stood above. They turned their faces toward Mount Gerizim and opened with a blessing. "Blessed be the man who does not make a graven or molten image." "An abomination to God is one who makes [a carved or molten image] by the hands of an artisan" (Deut. 27:15). And these ones and those ones would answer, "Amen!" They then turned around to face Mount Ebal and opened with a curse (ibid.), "Cursed be the man who makes [a carved or molten image], etc." And these ones and those ones would say, "Amen!" They then turned around to face Mount Gerizim, and began with blessings, "Blessed be one who upholds the words of the Torah" (see Deut. 27:26). Then toward Mount Ebal, they began, "Cursed be the one who does not uphold the words of the Torah, etc." (ibid.). "Cursed" -- that is a general curse and a specific curse, to learn and to teach, to safeguard and to perform.

Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

A cooking pot that is filled with pure liquid, and impure lupines of less than the size of an egg's bulk are placed inside it. [If] they swelled up (i.e., absorbed the water) and became the size of an egg's bulk, they are impure. Behold, this one says, "It defiled me, and I defiled it." A pure person upon whose head or the majority of his body fell three logs of drawn water: Even if he is pure and they are pure, they defile him, and they become defiled. Behold, this one says, "He defiled me, and I defiled him."

If they don't know him, they send his witnesses with him*i.e., to testify that the one who saw the new moon is a kosher witness, and not a Boethusian, even on Shabbat. It so happened with Rabbi Nehorai, that he came with his witness on Shabbat to Usha and he testified about him. At first they would light torches on the tops of the highest mountains [to signal the new month], on the Mount of Olives, on Sartaba, and on Tz'rophnah, on Tabor, on Haron, [and] on Beit D'lateha (alt., "Beit Bilti" (MS Erfurt)). Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar says, even on Cherim, and Kiyar, Gadur, and others (MS Erfurt).

Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

There exists one who says, "You were defiled and you defiled me*alt., "You were defiled, and I was not defiled, but you defiled me" (MS Vienna, GR"A). How so? When pure water was drawn into a defective vessel, and an impure defective vessel was turned over on top of it*שמלאה משקין טהורין לגיסטרא וגסטרא טהורה כפויה על פיה (Zar Zahav). Liquid flowed from the bottom one and became defiled in the airspace of the upper one, and it [thereby] defiled the lower one. Behold, this one says, "You were defiled, I was not defiled, but you defiled me."

Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

May the Lord lift His countenance upon you and give you peace. God's blessing, which raises man to a supernal eminent level, surely adds many obligations upon him in the paths of holiness, refinement of character traits, and the purification of life. And according to the spiritual accomplishment and the blessing of the soul in its spirituality, so ~~grow~~too does the great demand for the justification of actions also grow. This is to the point that without the kindnesses of God, who remembers His creations with mercy~~... May the Lord lift His countenance upon you and give you peace.~~ and who knows their [evil] impulse and the heaviness of physical nature which at the end of the day prevents full purity — without this there would be absolutely no chance of standing in front of the breadth of the supernal ethical demand that comes as an exact consequence of the true blessing. About this we therefore recite the blessing, May the Lord lift His countenance upon you [which can also mean indulge you] — and bring you beyond the letter of the law [what should be expected from you] in your elevation to sense and feel the depths of holiness and its great obligations. However you cannot prevent the storm of the soul in that it senses that its obligations are not being filled. And the denial of inner peace is a major impediment to the fulfillment of the blessing in its fullness and goodness. Hence the blessing continues its bounty: and give you peace, that peace be brought back to the soul. As the whole point of this lifting of the countenance/favoring is to remove the impediment of the fall of the spirit that is due to the perspective of the impossibility of the fulfillment of the complete obligation in the greatness of the holiness of its sublimity... before the face of the Lord (alluding to Lamentations 2:19)

Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

May the Lord shine His countenance upon you and give you grace. The shining of God's countenance is the appearance of the supernal holiness that stands above all the boundaries of creation and the systems of actions, characteristics, and thoughts found in all of the worlds. The light of the Torah gives off this supernal enlightenment, which no created power can take without the singular kindness of the supernal grace of God's light. The Lord bestows grace and glory; He does not withhold His bounty from those who live without blame (Psalms 84:12). Hence the grace is connected to the shining of God's countenance upon the one who is blessed with the blessing of His light. May the Lord shine His countenance upon you and give you grace.

Francis Nataf translated Olat Reiyah, Blessings of the Torah 7 history »
Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

The priestly blessing: The section of the priestly blessing is adjacent to the blessing over the Torah because the foundation of the blessing over the Torah relates to the characteristic quality of our communal inheritance, which stands above anything that can disturb or prevent the great bliss which perforce must dwell within our soul. And we find this characteristic quality — which is to establish Torah in the Jewish people — in the holiness of the priests, which is primarily in order to establish the light of the Torah in the Jewish people: They shall teach Your law to Jacob and Your Torah to Israel (Deuteronomy 33:10). And by way of the institutionalization of the holiness of the priesthood within the people, the entire people will afterwards all come to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (alluding to Exodus 19:6). Hence there is a strong connection here between the essence of the blessing over the Torah and the more general content of the priestly blessing.

מסכתות מנחות וזבחים הן מנחסכתות אחיות. שתיהן עוסקות בשני סוגי הקרבנות המרכזיים: הזבח (בשר ועוף) והמנחה. החוקים הבסיסיים אותם חוקים. אך מעבר לכך גם מנחות, כמו זבחים, היא מסכת הלכתית "רגילה". יש בה דיונים תלמודיים יבשים ולא סיפורי זיכרון, ובמבוא למסכת זבחים עמדנו על משמעותו של סגנון זה. הדמיון הוא גם בפרשנות התלמודית לשתי הסוגיות, מעט עיסוק הלכתי והרבה דרשות. במבוא למסכת זבחים עמדנו על כך שנשתמרו עדויות מרשימות לעיסוק הלכתי "רגיל" בישיבות בבל במסכת זבחים, אך התלמוד שבידינו מייצג לימוד בעל אופי שונה מהרגיל, מעט סוגיות הלכתיות והרבה דרשות. כך גם במסכת מנחות.

Shmuel Weissman edited Ba'al Shem Tov, Bereshit 107:1 history »
Version: Baal Shem Tov; mystical teachings on the weekly Torah portion; by Rabbi Eliezer Shore. 2012 (English)

The everyday speech of Torah scholars deserves study. (Sukkah 21b) The highest goal of a Tzaddik is to be attached to G-d without a moment’s break. Even when he speaks about mundane things, he must not break his devekus. The same applies to performing a commandment, because thinking about doing the mitzvah can also break one’s devekus. A person must be very wary of this. Our Rabbis said that one must learn to speak about mundane things that are necessary, so as not to lose one’s devekus. Divrei Moshe, Vayera and Chayeh Sarah¶

Richard Friedman translated Rashbam on Exodus 23:21:1 history »
Version: Sefaria Community Translation (English)

(1) DO NOT DEFY [TAMER] HIM. This is from the same root as (Lev. 27:22), "if one makes a substitution." And if it [the mem in our verse] has a dagesh, it is from [the same root as] (Jer. 48:11), "his bouquet is unspoiled" [namer, mem with dagesh]. It is like (Esth. 6:10), "Omit nothing" [tapel, with a dagesh] from the root "nafal." But it is not from the root for refusal, from (Lam. 1:20) "maroh m'ritem"; if it were [from that root] it would have to say "al tamreh," as in (Josh. 1:18) "anyone who flouts [yamreh] your commands." (2) ALTHOUGH [JPS: FOR] MY NAME IS IN HIM. It is in My name that he commands you, but he does not have authority to forgive your sins.

Come and see how many miracles were performed for Israel on the same day: They crossed over the waters of the Jordan. And they came to Mount Gerizim and to Mount Ebal, which are in Samaria, which is in the vicinity of Shechem, which is by the terebinth of Moreh, as it is said (Deut. 11:30), "Are they not across the Jordan, along the path of the setting sun...?" [That is] more than sixty mil, and not a single man could stand before them. And anyone who [tried to] stand before them was immediately struck with diarrhea, as it is said (Ex. 23:27), "I will send my terror before you, and will discomfit all the people that you encounter, etc." And it says (Ex. 15:16), "Terror and fear will fall upon them, etc., until your people have passed through" -- that is the first coming. "Until the people who you have acquired have passed through" (ibid.) -- that is the second coming. It may be said that from that point forward, the Israelites were worthy of miracles being performed for them, just in the way it was performed on the sea [of reeds]; however, they sinned. And afterwards they brought the stones and built the Altar, and sacrificed burnt offerings and peace offerings upon it, and they sat and ate and drank, and they carried the stones and came and slept in their place, as it is said (Josh 4:3), "And carry them across with you, and lay them down in athe lodging place." You might say that this refers to ~~any "~~any lodging place," thus the verse states (ibid.), "in athe lodging-place in which you spend the night." And it is said (Josh. 4:20), "and theose twelve stones [that they took from the Jordan, Joshua erected in Gilgal]." Thus, you learn that in Gilgal they were erected.
