Rav Menashya bar Gada: Wheat stalks do not become yados when cut for schach. The entire stalk may be used. Summary Suggestion: It seems that Rav Menashya’s law is a matter of debate among Tannaim: Beraisa: Branches with fruit, or stalks with grain, if there are more branches or straw than fruit or grain, it is kosher. Otherwise it is possul. Acheirim: The branches must outnumber the food and its yados. It seems that the Tanna Kamma agrees with Rav Menashya, that wheat stalks do not become yados if they are to be used as schach, and Acheirim argues. Since the Tanna Kamma is in agreement with Rav Menashya, Rabbi Abba will certainly hold that it is disputed. Rabbi Menashya: Acheirim do not argue in my case, when the wheat was cut for puse as schach. This beraisa is discussing a case of wheat which was cut for consumption and then it was repurposed for schach. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
