Sugya: חציצה
Very quickly review the גמרא דף ד: “חציצין (eighth line from top of Amud) until “מחיצות” (twelve lines from bottom of Amud)
Questions:
Is the הלכה למשה מסיני qualifying what is considered a חציצה on the hair or both the hair and the body?
Review
- Tosfos (“תוס’ סוכה דף ו: “דבר) brings יש מפרשים – qualifying exclusively the halacha of hair
and therefore in regards to a persons body even מיעוט שאינו מקפיד is a chatziza.
https://hebrewbooks.org/shas.aspx?mesechta=7&daf=6b&format=pdf - Tosfos (“תוס’ עירובין דף ד: “דבר) – qualifying the halacha of both hair and body.
Why is it a given that כולה ואינו מקפיד is a חציצה?
Is the criteria of מקפיד part of the הלכה למשה מסיני?
How could a knot on one strand of hair be a חציצה it is only blocking a minority of persons hair?
How does the יש מפרשים reconcile all the questions of Tosfos?

Do we evaluate the majority of the hair independent of the body?
Review רמב”ם ה’ מקוואות פרק ב’ הלכה ט”ו who brings two opinions – the רמב”ם and the גאונים

Question:
What is the basis of the גאונים; why do we calculate the majority of the hair separate than the body?
