What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Kaplan’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

of Zion page 518. Okay, so it says like this um seven lines from the bottom on page 518. All the women whose hearts so inclined them tauvim they wo the goat the goat skins. Now skins. Now rashi if you look on the left side rashi is six lines from the top six lines from the top. This was a special skill. They actually did it on the back of the live goats. They they they wo the goat. How does he translate? They spun uh the women whose hearts they spun the goat hair. They're making goat hair into some hair. They're making goat hair into some sort of material for the Mishkan. They did it on the on the goats themselves. While they did it on the goats. So, um you know the why was that necessary? Why were you doing it on the goats? So, there are two approaches here. Interestingly enough, there are two approaches. One approach is that they they uh uh when something is shorn off the living the living source, it's never as fresh. So they wanted it to be as fresh as possible. So you do it on the fresh as possible. So you do it on the goat itself. I guess that that makes it that's that's one of the the other is more of a hakic angle that a woman who is a nida some of those women were probably need and a nida if she once the material is off the animal then the the material the the thing they're making could become tame whereas while it's on the animal it does not it's not susceptible to tuma. So again again you have aic there there's thatic angle in Torah
