Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur
In the Mishnah at the beginning of the chapter, there is a debate between Rabbi Shimon and the Sages regarding the concept of beriyah (a complete entity). Rabbi Shimon holds that eating even the smallest amount of a forbidden item—if it constitutes a complete entity—incurs lashes. The Sages disagree, requiring a minimum quantity (kezayit) for liability. Rabbi Shimon challenges them: if one who eats an ant is liable, then surely eating a single grain of wheat should also be. The Mishnah doesn't clarify how the Sages responded to this claim. Join us as we trace this fascinating dispute from the Talmud to the Shulchan Aruch.
