0:00Please, Dr. Masechis Menachos, Dov Mem Test, a new mission. I'm going to all of you to teach us the halacha that to me, Dean, in my Aquinas and Musafin, below Musafin, in my Aquinas and to me, Dean, we know that to me, Dean, the Corban Tommy, which is about every morning and every afternoon, every single day of the week. And then we have the additional Corbanos, the Musaf offerings of Shabbos, and of Shchodesh, and holidays. So on, they don't cancel each other out, meaning if you don't have one, you still bring the other. And if you have the other, you still bring the other, you don't have to bring the other one. Whatever you have, you bring. Quacamara's first question is going to be C. Borsche, and let him to me, Dean, Umusafin, A. Zemahem, Coden. So if you only have enough funds to purchase either the Corban Tommy, or the Corban Musaf, which one should you purchase? We have a Quacamara that has a fascinating twisting discussion that takes us all the way on to the next, Ahmoud, discussion about how to determine what tools, what rules, what principles should we use to figure out how to prioritize. In the end of the discussion, the guiding principles that one may prioritize the one with greater sanctity

1:01or obligation, even if it's not being brought until the next day, meaning, even if I have money, and it's going to the Corban Musaf isn't being brought today, but I know that I'll be able to have it tomorrow. I'm allowed to hold on to that money and not use it for the daily sacrifice in order to use it for the more, the higher level, Kedusha, the higher level sanctity of the Corban Musaf. The rummum, in Hilkhoz, Kmyd Musafin, Parchas, Halakhakhav, Rulzda, Lomatsu, Ella-Shenik, Vasim, Imiakrivo, Sama Musaf, Hayom, Imiahem, Tami-Tami-Din, Lama-Khar, Hareha, Davar, Shakul. Says the rummum, it's actually equal, the way he comes out, and one is allowed to decide, based on whatever they end up deciding, one wouldn't be making the wrong decision because there are equal weights, equal reasons, equal rational to A, spend the money today, the mitzah is right now, or to use it for tomorrow, where there's opportunities to do a Corban on a higher level. According to the Rambam, one may choose what to do, apply the rule of Tadir,

2:01or wait for the next, rather, in my view, on the mitzahs, and Tadir, because Tadir, in the sense that the Corban Tami-D is coming every single day, or wait for the next day, to also get here served as a fascinating source and a highlight debate between the Chachamsvi and the Radvas, regarding a prisoner. The scenario was when a Jewish prisoner was granted a one-day release from prison, and he could choose any day of the year. Should he go out on the first day that he possibly has to leave, aim out of your no-mit sauce, you can go out right now, you can do mitzahs right away when you leave, or should he wait for a whole year day, such as your emperor, or Ashishana, perhaps. For the Radvas, the first opportunity should be seized, aim out of your no-mit sauce, you don't let a mitzah pass by without seizing it, while the Chachamsvi invoked our gammara, that it might only be true when two acts are equal and valid, and significance priority should be given to the one that's in front of you that's current. But what we learn here on our DAF is that, if a later obligation is more important, it may actually indeed be worth waiting. And therefore, since Yom Kippur is a whole day of the year,

3:02one could argue, perhaps it's worth the prisoner choosing to wait until Yom Kippur. The Chachamsvi ends up not being 100% clear in what he concludes, because of a debate that he brings from a sechasmoid, cut them, but this is one of, our gammara is one of the considerations, strong considerations that he brings in the application, a posting discuss, fasting on Somgadalya, the third day of Tishra, the day after Shashana, when it will weaken a person's ability to fast one week later on Yom Kippur. So based on our gammara, we'd say Somgadalya is a rabbinic fast, better to skip it, and preserve energy for Yom Kippur. This would be the opinion of the Chachamsvi. While the revas would say fast on Somgadalya, we'll worry about when Yom Kippur when it comes. That's what's in front of you. You should do what's in front of you. First come for a serve. One of the considerations that the posting discuss is inducing a Pikoach never situation. In other words, if by fasting on Somgadalya, one's physical constitution will be compromised, making it more dangerous to fast on Yom Kippur, which would then require a person to not fast or break the fast on Yom Kippur itself. Maybe Halacha would demand not fasting on Somgadalya.

4:06Bar Hashem, we have these guiding principles, but as we've seen, we need guidance and Hashem's help to implement these decision-making tools.
