*30.5 Makkos Daf 20 A (Bottom line)*

*30.5 Makkos Daf 20 A (Bottom line)*If someone tears out his hair in mourning four or five times, there is a liability for each tearing.*Summary**Question: What is meant by four or five tearings?**It cannot mean* five separate acts, with *five warnings,* a _possuk_ is not necessary for that.*It cannot mean* separate acts with *only one warning,* there is only one liability for that, as we learned in a _*mishna:*_If a _nazir_ was drinking wine *all day there is only one liability, if he was warned several times, there are multiple liabilities.**Answer:* The case here is where one smeared his fingers with a depilatory salve, and placed his hand on his head, creating five bald spots. *Thus one warning suffices for five tearings.*_( *Tosfos:* This answer would not be sufficient if not for the possuk.
