rock rats. >> Okay. Good morning friends. We're continuing in Mishnah Berurah 7 99. Because for Parshas Bamidbar that has 99 pesukim, we're learning 7 99. Now we're going to learn about what are the requirements of the gavra. What kind of gavra do you need? Does that mean a woman can't wash? She's not a gavra. She's an itza. What exactly is this gavra? Everyone is kosher to put water on the hands. A fool, a deaf mute, a katan. A deaf mute, an imbecile, a minor, even someone who worships idols. The nida. Some say no, a katan less than six is like a monkey. And we'll see what what is the halachic status of a monkey. Says Mishnah Berurah, they are still kosher. Even though you can't use an idolater to wash your hands for trumah, you can't use a nida to wash your hands for trumah. Because they metama the water by carrying it. A nida is and and the others are kosher to wash their hands. What are you going to say? Uh you can't use an idolater because they metama meit. Guess what? The water is tamei meit anyway. The rain in the head to leave me so here shall we leave to your day may him. The you should be careful not to wash your hands from an other than the Zara. And on either. Which is an a very interesting camera.
