*31.1 Makkos Daf 20 B (21 lines Up)**Summary*We learned in the mishna 30.3 that there is _malkos_ for cutting one’s peios.*Beraisa:* “The _peios_ of the head” means “The edges of the head”. This is someone who smooths *the area between his temples and the back of his ears* _(hair doesn’t grow in both places, but hair grows in between, by removing those hairs, he has “smoothed” that area and “surrounded the crown” of his head)._*A learner learned a beraisa in front of Rav Chisda: Both* the _makif_ (the one who cuts hair) and the _nikaf_ (the one whose hair was cut) *are liable.**Rav Chisda:* One who eats dates out of a sieve is punished with _malkos?! (Dates should be eaten out of a dish. It doesn’t make sense to put them in a sieve. But still, it’s not a crime!)_ The barber’s client was passive, *he didn’t do anything!* This must *follow the opinion of Rabbi Yehuda* (see 24.4) that there is _malkos_ for a passive _lav._*Rava:* The _beraisa_ refers to one who cuts his own hair. _[He is liable twice because the possuk says “Sakifu” in plural; teaching that there is malkos for both the makif and the nikaf]._*Rav Ashi:* This is discussing a case where the _nikaf_ is helping the _makif. [He is not just sitting passively]._ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
