Summary Challenge: Chatzitzin are Torah laws?! As it states “He should bathe in the water” - there should be nothing between him and the water. Resolution: The halacha leMoshe miSinai, teaches that these laws apply to hair as well; as in the case of Rabbah bar bar Chana. Rabbah bar bar Chana: If one hair is knotted, it’s a chatzitza (one hair forms a very tight knot and does not allow the water to pass through). If three hairs are knotted together, it’s not a chatzitza (the knot is somewhat loose). If two hairs are knotted together, it’s a safek. Challenge: Chatzitza in the hair is also a Torah law?! As it states “Es besaro”, the word es teaches that even what’s connected to the body [hair] must make direct contact with the water?! Resolution: The halacha leMoshe miSinai, teaches what constitutes a chatzitza; as taught by Rabbi Yitzchok. Rabbi Yitzchok: According to the Torah chatzitza only applies in a case of Rov (it covers the majority of the person or utensil) and Makpid (he intends to remove it). If he is not makpid, it is not considered a chatzitza. Chazal added that rov alone is a chatzitza, and that makpid alone is a chatzitza. Challenge: What about a chatzitza which is neither rov nor makpid? Resolution: We don’t say gezeirah l’gezeirah Mechitzin are halacha leMoshe miSinai: This was taught in 4.3, that the height of the sukkah walls (mechitzin) are halacha leMoshe miSinai. Challenge: This was only said according to Rabbi Yehuda, however according to Rabbi Meir, no halacha leMoshe miSinai tradition was necessary (since it can be derived from the height of the keruvim). Resolution: The halacha teaches Gud (3.3), Lavud (3.2), and Dofen Akumah (3.2). This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
