Shnayim Yomi - Tazria-Metzora - Sheni - #2 - Rabbi Yechiel Gabay - Torah is Given to Us

Parshas Tazria Metzora is shiny. So, here the parsha gets involved into the many complicated details of the halachos of tzaraas and its various subdivisions, one of which is a baheres. Now, a baheres is a white patch on the skin with a hair in the middle of it. And the halacha is that if the hair was white before the appearance of the baheres, then that's not tzaraas and it's tahor. But if after the white patch appeared, the hair turned white, that's going to be tzaraas. What if it's a case of doubt? We're not sure if the hair turned white before or after the appearance of the baheres. That is the subject of a fascinating episode in Bava Metziah daf peh vav. The Gemara says there was a machlokes about this in the mesifta d'rakia, in the yeshiva shel mayim. Hakadosh Baruch Hu omer tahor, Hashem said tahor. V'chulam mesifta d'rakia omerim tamei, but all of the yeshiva shel mayim were learning the sugia said it should be tamei. V'omrim they said man lo yachrach who will decide the halacha? Lo yachrach Rabba bar Nachmani, the great amora Rabba bar Nachmani will decide since he is an expert in the Torah of negai'im and tzaraas. Problem was when they went to get him, the malach hamaves couldn't come close because like hava kaposik pumei migarsei, his mouth didn't stop learning, which prevents the malach hamaves from approaching. Ad hachi, meanwhile, nashav zika, a wind blew v'avish beni kani, and it rustled the reeds. Rabba bar Nachmani thought that they were coming to capture him, and in that moment the malach hamaves was able to take his neshama, and as his neshama left him, he uttered the words tahor, tahor, paskening the halacha that in this case of a safek tzaraas, the halacha will be tahor. Incredible. What's even more incredible, and I had to make sure to be reading from the Rambam as I'm saying this, the Rambam paskins so fake say love on cod on it. We're not sure if the white hair came first so fake up a hair is got one or in when there's a doubt whether the hair is came first her hair is who this is Tommy. Correct the case of Mishnah. How on earth can the Rambam be past and Tommy? When Rabba bar Nachmani was agreed that he would pass and he pass and Torah and I shall himself said Torah. Says the case of Mishnah this is an example of an incredible you so aid of Torah loy ba shamayim he. When I shall gave clearly so the Torah it was on the condition that when clearly so learns and determines the Allah had to be a certain way then that way is the correct Allah had even if in shamayim they disagree. Rabba bar Nachmani since his neshama was already leaving him at the moment when he pass and Torah that comes under the category of Torah loy ba shamayim he and we follow the besak of the Rambam who paskins for other reasons that the Allah had is actually Tommy.
