Jerusalem Talmud Challah 1.4

משנה: עִיסָּה שֶׁתְּחִילָּתָהּ סוּפְגָּנִים וְסוֹפָהּ סוּפְגָּנִים פְּטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה. תְּחִילָּתָהּ עִיסָּה וְסוֹפָהּ סוּפְגָּנִים תְּחִילָּתָהּ סוּפְגָּנִים וְסוֹפָהּ עִיסָּה חַיֶיבֶת בַּחַלָּה. וְכֵן הַקְּנוּבְקָאוֹת חַיָיבוֹת. הַמְּעִיסָּה בֵּית שַׁמַּי פוֹטְרִין וּבֵית הִלֵּל מְחַיְיבִין. הַחֲלִיטָה בֵּית שַׁמַּי מְחַיְיבִין וּבֵית הִלֵּל פּוֹטְרִין. חַלּוֹת תּוֹדָה וּרְקִיקֵי נָזִיר עֲשָׂאָן לְעַצְמוֹ פָטוּר לִמְכּוֹר בַּשּׁוּק חַיָיב.

MISHNAH: Dough intended for Bismarcks and made into Bismarcks is free from ḥallah. If it was started as bread dough but made into Bismarcks, or started as Bismarck dough and used as bread dough, is obligated for ḥallah. Similarly, qenubqa’ot are obligated. The House of Shammai free parboiled dough but the House of Hillel obligate it. The House of Shammai obligate dumplings but the House of Hillel free it. The loaves for a thanksgiving sacrifice and those needed by the nazir, if he made them for himself they are exempt, to sell on the market obligated.

הלכה: הָדָא אִיתָא שָׁאֲלָת לְרִבִּי מָנָא בְּגִין דַּאֲנָא בָּעְיָיא לְמֵיעְבַּד אִצְוָותִי אִטְרֵי מָהוּ דְיִנְסְבֶנָּה וּתְהֵא פְטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה. אָמַר לָהּ לָמָּה לֹא. אָתָא שְׁאִיל לְאָבוֹי. אָמַר לֵיהּ אָסוּר שֶׁמָּא תִימָּלֵךְ לַעֲשׂוֹתָהּ עִיסָּה.

HALAKHAH: A woman asked Rebbi Mana: Since I want to make iṭry in my kneading-trough, may I take from it so that it should be free from ḥallah? He said to her, why not? He went to ask his father. He said to him, it is forbidden; maybe she would change her mind to use it as bread dough.

וְכֵן הַקְּנוּקָעוֹת חַיָיבוֹת. רִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן לֵוִי אָמַר קְרַמְבִּיטַס. רִבִּי חֲנַנְיָה בֶּן עָגוּל בְּשֵׁם חִזְקִיָּה אָמַר בוקרלטא שֶׁלֹּא תֹאמַר הוֹאִיל וְהוּא עָתִיד לְהַחֲזִירָהּ לְסוֹלְתָהּ תְּהֵא פְטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה. אָמַר רִבִּי בָּא בַּר זַבְדָּא עִיסַּת מַבְרִין חַיֶיבֶת בַּחַלָּה. שֶׁלֹּא תֹאמַר הוֹאִיל וְהוּא עָתִיד לְהַחֲזִירָהּ לְסוֹלְתָהּ תְּהֵא פְטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה.

“Similarly, qenubqa’ot are obligated”. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, Zwieback. Rebbi Ḥananiah ben Agul in the name of Ḥizqiah said boqrlṭa. That you should not say that because in the end it will be turned into a kind of farina it should be free from ḥallah. Rebbi Abba bar Zavda said, dough for the sick is obligated for ḥallah, that you should not say that because in the end it will be turned into a kind of farina it should be free from ḥallah.

רַב אָמַר עִיסַּת כוּתָח חַיֶיבֶת בַּחַלָּה. אָמַר רִבִּי בּוּן שֶׁמָּא תִּימָּלֵךְ לַעֲשׂוֹתָהּ חֲרָרָה לְבָנָה. אָמַר רִבִּי מָנָא צְרִיכִין אָנוּ מַכְרִזִין בְּאִילֵּין דְּעָבְדִין עָבִיצִין דֵּיְיאוּן עָבְדוֹן לוֹן פָּחוֹת מִכְּשִׁיעוּר דְּאִינּוּן סָבְרִן שֶׁהִיא פְטוּרָה וְהִיא חַיֶיבֶת.

Rav said, dough for kutaḥ is subject to ḥallah. Rebbi Abun said, perhaps she will change her mind to make it white Zwieback. Rebbi Mana said, we have to announce publicly that those who make ‘abiṣin should make less than the measure since they think it is exempt but it is obligated.

תַּנֵּי רִבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֵּירִבִּי יוֹסֵי אָמַר מִשּׁוּם אָבִיו אֵי זוֹ הִיא הַמְּעִיסָה הַנּוֹתֵן חַמִּין לְתוֹךְ קֶמַח. חֲלִיטָה קֶמַח לְתוֹךְ חַמִּין.

It was stated: “Rebbi Ismael ben Rebbi Yose said in his father’s name: What is parboiled? If one adds hot water to flour. Dumpling, flour into hot water.”

אִתָה חֲמִי נֶחְלְטָה כָּל צוֹרְכָהּ בֵּית שַׁמֵּי מְחַיְיבִין. לֹא נֶחְלְטָה כָּל צוֹרְכָהּ בֵּית שַׁמַּי פּוֹטְרִין. רִבִּי יָסָא בְשֵׁם חִזְקִיָּה רִבִּי חִיָיה בְשֵׁם רִבִּי הוֹשַׁעְיָא שְׁנֵי תַלְמִידִים שָׁנוּ אוֹתָהּ. רִבִּי אִימִּי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן עַל הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה הָלַכְתִּי אֶצֶל רִבִּי הוֹשַׁעְיָא רוֹבָא לְקַיְסָרִין וְאָמַר לִי שְׁנֵי תַלְמִידִים שָׁנוּ אוֹתָהּ.

Come and look: If it is completely parboiled, the House of Shammai obligate, not completely parboiled, the House of Shammai exempt? Rebbi Assi in the name of Ḥizqiah, Rebbi Ḥiyya in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: Two students stated this. Rebbi Ammi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: For this matter I went to the elder Rebbi Hoshaia to Caesarea and he said to me, two students stated this.

וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים לֹא כְדִבְרֵי זֶה וְלֹא כְדִבְרֵי זֶה אֶלָּא הַנֶּאֱפָה בַתַּנּוּר חַיָיב. בְּאִילְפָּס וּבִקְדֵירָה פָּטוּר.

“ But the Sages say, not following either one of them, but what was baked in the oven is obligated, in a pan or a pot is free.”

אֵי זֶהוּ חָלוּט בָּרוּר. אָמַר רִבִּי זְעִירָא כָּל שֶׁהָאוּר מְהַלֵּךְ תַּחְתָּיו. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי אֲפִילוּ הָאוּר מְהַלֶּךְ תַּחְתָּיו מִכֵּיוָן שֶׁהוּא עָתִיד לַעֲשׂוֹתוֹ בָצֵק חַיָיב בַּחַלָּה. קֶמַח קָלִי שֶׁעֲשָׂאוֹ בָצֵק חַיָיב בַּחַלָּה. רִבִּי יוֹסֵי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן וְהוּא שֶׁאָפְיָין.

What is certainly parboiled? Rebbi Zeïra said, everything the fire burns under. Rebbi Yose said, even if the fire burns under it, since he will use it as dough in the future it is obligated for ḥallah. Roasted flour which he used as flour is obligated for ḥallah. Rebbi Yose in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Only if he baked it.

חַלּוֹת תּוֹדָה וּרְקִיקֵי נָזִיר עֲשָׂאָן לְעַצְמוֹ פָטוּר דִּכְתִיב רֵאשִׁית עֲרִיסוֹתֵיכֶם וְלֹא שֶׁלָּהֶקְדֵּשׁ. לִמְכּוֹר בַּשּׁוּק חַיָיב. לֹא בְדַעְתּוֹ הַדָּבָר תָּלוּי. בְּדַעַת הַלְּקוּחוֹת הַדָּבָר תָּלוּי. שֶׁמָּא יִמְצָא הַלְּקוּחוֹת וְנִטְבְּלוּ מִיַּד.

“The loaves for a thanksgiving sacrifice and those needed by the nazir, if he made them for himself they are exempt,” for it is written “the first of your baking troughs;” “to sell on the market he is obligated”, it does not depend on his intention but on that of his customers. Maybe he will find a customer; therefore, it becomes ṭevel immediately.
