Okay, good morning friends. Yesterday we saw another possibility of how with one Revius two people could wash. Either what we saw last week was where Shimon puts his hands under Ruvein. Yesterday we saw where Shimon puts his hands next to Ruvein. Where first Ruvein washes and then Shimon washes. So how could Shimon wash from less than a Revius? The answer is because he was a Revius? The answer is because he was ba he came at the time there was a Revius and the water that's coming on his hands is what is called Shiurei Tahara. This was the second amazing khidush of the Rashba. These are both the khidushim of the Rashba. And based on this the Mishnah Berurah said you could have three people with a lot more with some more water a little bit more of a bigger ratio than than two people or even four or five. Okay, and they put or even four or five. Okay, and they put their hands bitzad zeh. Uh Zeh bitzad zeh says the Mishnah Berurah ve'ein metamei ein zeh mi'zeh bene'giasam. And if they touch each other it doesn't contaminate it doesn't render impure. Why? De'kulam ke'yad achas khashivi they're all like one hand ke'ilu kamon besiman all like one hand ke'ilu kamon besiman kuf sameach bet safek. Now wait a second. Woah, hold on one second. Who said anything about their hands touching each other? In case one when it was on top of each other then the Mechaber said sameach. Now the Chazon Ish says it has to be touching because the Chazon Ish learned the lamdus is kullah it's all one hand. And they have to be touching. But we were madayaq and the base holds
