רֵיחֵיהּ חַלָּא וְטַעְמָא חַמְרָא — חַלָּא, וְהָוֵה לֵיהּ מִין בְּמִינוֹ, וְכׇל מִין בְּמִינוֹ — בְּמַשֶּׁהוּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
because a liquid **whose smell is vinegar and** its **flavor is wine** is considered **vinegar,** and the wine, when it spilled into the barrel of vinegar, took on the smell of vinegar from the moment it reached the airspace of the barrel, **and it has** therefore **become a type** of food mixed **with** food of **its** own **type. And any type** of forbidden food mixed **with** food of **its** own **type** renders the mixture forbidden **by any amount.**

[Avodah Zarah 66b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/66b:2)

רָבָא אָמַר: בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם, רֵיחֵיהּ חַלָּא וְטַעְמָא חַמְרָא — חַמְרָא, וְהָוֵה לֵיהּ מִין בְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ מִינוֹ, וְכׇל מִין בְּשֶׁאֵינוֹ מִינוֹ בְּנוֹתֵן טַעַם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava says** that the mixture is forbidden only **in** a case where the wine **imparts flavor** to the vinegar, because a liquid **whose smell is vinegar and** its **flavor is wine** is considered **wine, and it has** therefore **become a type** of food mixed **with** food **not** of **its** own **type. And any type** of forbidden food mixed **with** food **not** of **its** own **type** renders the mixture forbidden only **in** a case where it **imparts flavor** to the mixture.

הַאי בַּת תִּיהָא, גּוֹי בִּדְיִשְׂרָאֵל — שַׁפִּיר דָּמֵי, יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְגוֹי — אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: אָסוּר, רָבָא אָמַר: מוּתָּר. אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: אָסוּר, רֵיחָא מִילְּתָא הִיא. רָבָא אָמַר: מוּתָּר, רֵיחָא לָאו מִילְּתָא הִיא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ With regard to **this bunghole [*bat tiha*],** the hole in a barrel through which one can smell the wine, if **a gentile** smells **a Jew’s** wine through it, the wine is **permitted,** but for **a Jew** to smell **a gentile’s** wine through it, **Abaye says** that it is **prohibited,** whereas **Rava says** that it is **permitted. Abaye says** that it is **prohibited** because he holds that **a smell is** a substantial **matter,** a significant form of pleasure, and it is not permitted to derive benefit from a gentile’s wine. **Rava says** it is **permitted** because he holds that **a smell is nothing;** it is insignificant.

אָמַר רָבָא: מְנָא אָמֵינָא לַהּ, דְּרֵיחָא וְלָא כְּלוּם הוּא? דִּתְנַן: תַּנּוּר שֶׁהִסִּיקוֹ בְּכַמּוֹן שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה וְאָפָה בּוֹ אֶת הַפַּת — הַפַּת מוּתֶּרֶת, לְפִי שֶׁאֵין טַעַם כַּמּוֹן אֶלָּא רֵיחָא כַּמּוֹן. וְאַבַּיֵּי? שָׁאנֵי הָתָם, דְּמִיקְלָא אִיסּוּרֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rava says: From where do I say that a smell is nothing?** It is **as we learned** in a mishna (*Terumot* 10:4): With regard to **an oven that one lit with cumin** stalks **of *teruma* and baked bread in it, the bread** is **permitted because** it has **not** absorbed **the flavor of** the **cumin** stalks **but** only **the smell of** the **cumin** stalks. This indicates that smell alone does not render a food forbidden. **And** how does **Abaye** explain this? He answers that **it is different there, as the forbidden substance was burned.** The smell of the forbidden cumin stalks entered the bread after the cumin stalks themselves were consumed by the fire, and a smell that is not from an extant substance is not forbidden. By contrast, in a case where the smell is from an extant source, it is forbidden.

אָמַר רַב מָרִי: כְּתַנָּאֵי, הָרוֹדֶה פַּת חַמָּה וּנְתָנָהּ עַל פִּי חָבִית שֶׁל יַיִן שֶׁל תְּרוּמָה — רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹסֵר, וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה מַתִּיר. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי מַתִּיר בְּשֶׁל חִיטִּין, וְאוֹסֵר בְּשֶׁל שְׂעוֹרִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהַשְּׂעוֹרִים שׁוֹאֲבוֹת. מַאי לָאו בְּהָא קָמִיפַּלְגִי, דְּמָר סָבַר: רֵיחָא מִילְּתָא הִיא, וּמָר סָבַר: רֵיחָא וְלָא כְּלוּם הוּא?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Mari said:** This dispute between Abaye and Rava is **parallel to** a dispute between ***tanna’im*,** as it is taught in a mishna (*Terumot* 10:3): With regard to **one who detached a hot** loaf of **bread** from the oven **and placed it on the opening of a barrel of wine of *teruma*,** the portion of the produce designated for the priest, **Rabbi Meir deems** the bread **forbidden** to non-priests, as in his opinion the smell of the wine renders the bread forbidden to them, **and Rabbi Yehuda deems** it **permitted. Rabbi Yosei deems** it **permitted in** a case of **wheat** bread **but deems** it **forbidden in** a case of **barley** bread, **because the barley draws out** the fumes of the wine. Rav Mari explains: **What, is it not with regard to this** matter that the Sages in the mishna **disagree: That** one **Sage,** Rabbi Meir, **holds** that **a smell is** a substantial **matter, and** one **Sage,** Rabbi Yehuda, **holds** that **a smell is nothing?**

[Avodah Zarah 66b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Avodah%20Zarah/r/66b:6)

לְרָבָא וַדַּאי תַּנָּאֵי הִיא, לְאַבָּיֵי מִי לֵימָא תַּנָּאֵי הִיא?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara remarks: **According to** the opinion of **Rava,** the dispute between him and Abaye **is certainly** parallel to a dispute between ***tanna’im*,** as he must concede that Rabbi Meir holds that a smell is a substantial matter. But **according to** the opinion of **Abaye, shall we say** that **it is** parallel to a dispute between ***tanna’im*?**

אָמַר לָךְ אַבָּיֵי: לָאו מִי אִיתְּמַר עֲלַהּ, אָמַר רַבָּה בַּר בַּר חָנָה אָמַר רֵישׁ לָקִישׁ: בְּפַת חַמָּה וְחָבִית פְּתוּחָה —

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Abaye** could **say to you** that Rabbi Yehuda also holds that a smell is a substantial matter. **Wasn’t it stated with regard to that** mishna that **Rabba bar bar Ḥana says** that **Reish Lakish says: In** the case of **a hot** loaf of **bread and an open barrel,**
