Ruling: And this is the Halachah.

Clarifying Text: His statement concludes with the words 'Mavdil ve'Holech Kol ha'Yom Kulo'; otherwise, it would be identical with the first Lashon.

Ruling #1: The Halachah however, is like the first Lashon, as Rebbi Chiya said earlier.

Ruling #2: And on Tish'ah be'Av that falls on Motza'ei Shabbos too, the Minhag is to recite Havdalah after the fast.

Support: And so it says in Seider R. Amram.

Implied Question: We can only actually learn all day ...

Answer: And it only says this (the whole week) because it is the Halachah.

Clarification: Because he holds that a Neder that is made in public cannot be annulled.

Ruling: This is not Halachah however, and it is only a Neder that is made 'al Da'as Rabim' (according to the wishes of the public and of Beis-Din) that cannot be annulled.

Reference: This is clarified elsewhere (in Gitin, Daf 36.)

Clarification: As the Gemara explains in Yoma (Daf 80.) 'Wherever if one moves it all to one side it looks like one's cheeks are full'.

Conclusion: And this is less than a Revi'is, as the Gemara says there.

M'lo Lugmav: Whereas 'M'lo Lugmav', the Gemara says there, is more than a Revi'is.

Conclusion: It would therefore seem that it ('M'lo Lugma') is the majprity of a Revi'is ...

Proof: For so the Gemara says later (108:) ' ... provided one drinks the majority of the cup'.

Qualification: And this applies specifically to an average size person; but for Og Melech ha'Bashan, a larger Shi'ur (than the majority of a Revi'is) is required, as the Gemara explains there.

Question: Why is it called 'Minchah'?

Refuted Answer: It cannot be because the Korban Minchah was brought in the afternoon ...

Refuted Answer (concl.): Since also in the morning, they brought the Minchas Chavitin (of the Kohen Gadol) and the Minchas Tamid.

Answer #1: Because in the morning, it (the Tefilah) has another name - namely, 'Tefilas Shachris'.

Answer #2: Furthermore, the Gemara says in the first Perek of B'rachos (Daf 6:) 'Attach special importance to Tefilas Minchah, since Eliyahu's Tefilah was answered specifically at Tefilas Minchah.

Conclusion: It seems likely that he was answered at the time when the Korban Minchah was brought ...

Conclusion: And it is therefore called Tefilas Minchah because it proved to be a time of goodwill then.

Clarification: And it is forbidden even after he has brought the Pesach, in case, in his hurry to eat, he does not prepare the Pesach properly.

Clarification: Which is not classified as 'Achilah', as the Gemara says in the last Perek of Yoma (Daf 80:) 'Someone who eats Achilah Gasah on Yom-Kipur, is Patur.

Question: But the Gemara in Nazir (Daf 23.) explains - that it is in connection with someone who eats the Korban Pesach Achilah Gasah, that the Pasuk writes "u'Posh'im Yikashlu bam".

Question (cont.): 'How can you call him a Rasha, asks the Gemara? He may not have performed the Mitzvah properly, but he has fulfilled the Mitzvah of Pesach?'

Answer #1: Rabeinu Tam therefore explains that there are two levels of Achilah Gasah - one, where he detests eating, and it is with regard to that level that one is Patur on Yom Kipur.

Answer #1 (cont.): And there is another level of Achilah Gasah where one does not have an appetite, but where the food is still tasty.

Answer #1 (cont.): And the concept of eating the Pesach 'al ha'Sova' means that one has at least a small appetite to eat.

Answer #2: Another answer is that one cannot call him a Rasha, since he has fulfilled the Mitzvah of Pesach, even though he has not fulfilled the Mitzvah of eating, because eating the Pesach is not crucial to the overall Mitzvah of Pesach.

Explanation #1: And what the Rashbam explains - that the Gemara mentions 'Matzah', because it applies even nowadays, when there is no Pesach is not correct ...

Query: Since even if the reason would be because of Pesach, it would still be forbidden nowadays, as is evident shortly, in connection with the episode of Rav Sheishes, who fasted the whole day (of Erev Pesach).

Explanation: Consequently, the second explanation is the main one, where he explains that the Gemara mentions Matzah - because one needs only eat very little to turn it into Achilah Gasah.

Clarification: The Rashbam explains that he was a righteous king, a descendent of the Chashmona'im.

Question: He was not careful however, as the Gemara is Sotah (Daf 41.) relates how, when he came to the Pasuk 'from among your brothers you shall appoint a king, he burst into tears (because he was a descendent of Hurdus, who was a slave).

Clarification: Some commentaries explain that this is because 1. it is the way of kings to rise after three hours, and 2. He behaved like Talmidei Chachamim, who eat in the sixth hour after getting up.

Question: But this is not correct, because the Gemara ought then to have said that the ninth hour of Agripas, is like the sixth hour of Talmidei-Chachamim.

Clarification: The Rashbam translates this as fruit or meat without bread.

Question: But this is not right, since the Tosefta in 'Keitzad Mevorchin states that 'They bring before him kinds of Targima, and he recites "Borei Miynei Mezonos", which one only recites on the five kinds of grain?

Answer: However in the last Perek in Yoma (Daf 79:) the Gemara gives one answer - that 'Minei Targima' means fruit.

Explanation #1: The Rashbam explains that just as, due to the plowing the field accepts the seeds ...

Conclusion: So too, due to the eating of Targima, one will eat the Matzah.

Question: This is not a good comparison however, seeing as unlike the two eatings, plowing and planting are two different things.

Explanation #2: It would therefore seem that this Pasuk is a Mashal similar to the Pasuk in Yirmiyah (4) "If you do Teshuvah Yisrael. Says Hash-m, return to Me; If you will remove your abominations ... ". In other words, 'After you have removed your idols, then you can return to Me' (but as long as you retain your idols, and you have given up on Me, you will not be able to do Teshuvah).

Explanation #2 (cont.): (Here too) "For so says Hash-m 'Plow for yourselves a furrow and do not sow upon thorn-bushes!" - as long as there are thorn-bushes in the field, sowing seeds will not achieve anything.

Explanation #2 (cont.): Here too, it hints that if someone eats a little, his heart is drawn towards eating more.

Conclusion: But if he has not eaten at all, and has given up on eating, then his heart is not drawn after food, and it is akin to throwing a stone into an empty flask.
