What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay, good morning everyone. Welcome. We're continuing in Mishnah Berurah daf shin vav. We're learning siman kuf nun tes. We're in the middle of seif gimmel. The Mechaber said in seif gimmel we started this. Kli she machzik revi'is k'shehu someech l'chana'ah se'ah kli that can contain a revi'is when you lean it. V'im lo yeish smoochu, if you don't lean it, you shav hamayim, the water will pour v'lo yishar b'revi'is, you won't be remaining with a revi'is, ein a kli. It's not a kli. So, if the kli needs to be lay leaned in order for it to contain a revi'is, it's not considered a kli. So, says the Mishnah Berurah seif katan yud beis, kli she machzik b'Toras Beis Yosef, do aden b'shever kli shehu machzik revi'is shelo b'musmach. The Toras Beis Yosef we find that the same thing would apply in a broken kli that's machzik revi'is if you don't lean it. That in this case where you have a broken shard that it contains a revi'is and you don't need to lean it >> [snorts] >> uh then it would be good. The Chazon Ish is saying that it would be a good kli. Ach yesh omerim dafka d'trei halacha b'zeh, elem k'niyacha d'la tachnish. Some say that even according to that opinion you can't be lenient unless you designated it for usage. This we saw last time. This is all the walls of the kli. >> [snorts] >> A kli that it was diminished from above yechoil l'ha'amid al shulchan k'dei l'kabel al itz bottom shelo b'musmach l'kabel revi'is near the yeshu'ah l'cholel it in ein like kli acher. So, let's say like this, you have the kli that the top of it got minimized. So, instead of holding 9 oz it holds 5 oz.
