THE DAFYOMI DISCUSSION LIST brought to you by Kollel Iyun Hadaf of Yerushalayim Rosh Kollel Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE TO DISCUSS THE DAF WITH THE KOLLEL] ________________________________________________________________ Menachos 096a: The Kanim of the Lechem ha'Panim Mark Bergman <> asked: >>The Gemoro says (bottom of 96a) that there was a gap between each loaf of >>the Lechem HaPonim and the canes supporting the level above (to allow >>flow of air), yet it seems that the canes rested on the loaves (thus for >>example, the top level only had 2 canes since the weight resting was less).<< Mark Bergman continues: Maybe you didn't grasp the exact point of my question, which is that I understood the Gemoro to first say that there was a groove in the top of each loaf into which each of the Kanim fitted; then the Gemoro asks that there must be gap (between the loaves) for air to circulate, so the Gemoro answers that there was a small gap between the loaf AND THE ROD ABOVE (i.e. rod not resting on the loaf!) ["magba lei purta"] How exactly did you understand "magba lei purta" ? Any comment? Kol Tuv Mark Bergman Manchester UK ------------ The Kollel replies: I understood the term "d'Magbah Lei Purta" to mean that the *rods* lifted up the *bread* a bit. (Not that the *person* lifted the *rod* above the bread a bit, as you understood.) Best wishes, M.
