 Summary 

 We continue a beraisa which discusses the obligations of a child. 

 In a case of safek tumah, it depends where the safek is. If it’s in a reshus hayachid it is tamei. If it’s in reshus horabbim it is tahor. 

 Beraisa [continued]: A child who can be trusted; his safek tumah is tamei in the reshus hayochid and tahor in the reshus horabbim. [If the child cannot yet be trusted, his safek is always tahor. Tosfos]. 

A child who knows how to do nesias kapayim, can get terumah in the grain-barn*.

A child who knows how to shecht (he has experience slaughtering for gentiles); his meat is kosher and may be eaten.

 Rav Huna: Provided that he is supervised by an adult.

A child who can eat a kzayis of grain; his feces and urine require one to distance himself 4 amos. 

 Rav Chisda: Provided that he can eat it within the time necessary to consume a four-egg-volume of bread.

 Rav Chiya brei d’Rav Yeiva: An adult’s feces is considered feces even if he cannot consume that amount as it states “If he increases in wisdom, he increases in discomfort” (the more wisdom one has, the more he must look at his feces. Like the sage who was shown great honor but reminded himself of his feces).

A child who can eat a kzayis of roasted meat; can be counted toward the Pesach. 

 Rabbi Yehuda: He must also be able to select his food - to know the difference between a nut and a rock.

* Tosfos: If he cannot do nesias kapayim yet but can guard his terumah, it may be sent to his house for him, but he cannot pick it up at the barn. Rashi says that if he can do nesias kapayim everyone knows he is already a gadol, but it seems from the gemara that we’re discussing a child.

Although there is a gemara that says a child cannot do nesias kapayim, that may mean 1. He cannot do it on his own. 2. He cannot do it constantly. 3. He cannot do it during the High Holidays. The same applies to the rule that one cannot be a Shatz unless his beard grew in. It may mean 1. He cannot do it constantly. 2. He cannot do it during the High Holidays.
