Tevul Yom 2:6-7

T’vul Yom 2:6

Let’s say that a jug (of trumah wine) sank into a cistern of (chulin) wine and a t’vul yom touched it. If he touched the wine within the rim, it’s considered connected; outside the rim, it’s not. Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri says that even if the level of wine is the height of a man above the jug, if he touches the wine directly above the mouth of the jug, it’s considered connected.

T’vul Yom 2:7

Let’s say that a jug (containing a trumah liquid) had a hole either in its neck, on its bottom or on its side. If a t’vul yom touched it (at the hole), the jug’s contents are rendered unclean. Rabbi Yehusa says that if the hole is in the neck or on the bottom, the contents are rendered unclean, but if it’s on one side or the other, it remains clean. Let’s say that a person pours a liquid from one vessel to another and a t’vul yom touches the stream. If there’s sufficient volume in the lower vessel, then it’s negated in the ratio of 1:101.
