Benefiting from tamei terumah

The Gemara teaches that one may benefit from the burning of terumah that is tamei.

Rav Nachman said in the name of Rabbah bar Avuha that this is learned out from the passuk, ואני הנה נתתי לך את משמרת תרומתי – And I – behold! I have given to you the safeguard of my terumah offerings. The Torah speaks of two terumah offerings, one that is tahor and one that is tamei, and the passuk says, לך – that is given to you, meaning it shall be yours to burn under your pot.

Reason one can not light with itran

R’ Yishmael in the Mishnah prohibited one from lighting with itran due to kavod Shabbos. Rava explains that itran’s foul odor may cause someone to leave the illuminated room and eat in the dark and he holds that because of kavod Shabbos one needs to eat where there is light.

Rava quotes Rav Nachman bar Zavda (some say it was Rav Nachman bar Rava) who said in the name of Rav that lighting where one eats on Shabbos is an obligation (הדלקת נר בשבת חובה) and washing one’s hands and feet in warm water is optional (רשות) and I, Rav Nachman, say that washing is a mitzvah.

Defining who is wealthy

The question was asked in a Baraisa: Who is wealthy?

-R’ Meir says anyone who takes pleasure in his wealth, be it large or small (Rashi).

-R’ Tarfon says anyone who has a hundred vineyards, a hundred fields, and a hundred servants who work in those fields.

-R’ Akiva says anyone who has a beautiful wife in deeds

-R’ Yose says anyone who has a bathroom near his table (meaning, near where he eats).

Siman – Silver Anniversary. The silver anniversary party was a disaster when the wealthy man’s one hundred servants ran out of tamei terumah to cook the food and the guests couldn’t take the stench from the itran they used to light the room. Key Words - tamei terumah, itran, wealthy
