Bringing Kerem Revai up to Yerushalayim

הַעֲלָאַת כֶּרֶם רְבָעִי לִירוּשָׁלַיִם
Mishnah מעשר שני ה׳:ב׳ · Maaser Sheini 5:2
כֶּרֶם רְבָעִי הָיָה עוֹלֶה לִירוּשָׁלַיִם מַהֲלַךְ יוֹם אֶחָד לְכָל צָד.
וְאֵיזוֹ הִיא תְחוּמָהּ:
אֵילַת מִן הַדָּרוֹם,
וְעַקְרַבַּת מִן הַצָּפוֹן,
לוֹד מִן הַמַּעֲרָב,
וְהַיַּרְדֵּן מִן הַמִּזְרָח.
וּמִשֶּׁרַבּוּ הַפֵּרוֹת,
הִתְקִינוּ שֶׁיְּהֵא נִפְדֶּה סָמוּךְ לַחוֹמָה.
וּתְנַאי הָיָה הַדָּבָר, שֶׁאֵימָתַי שֶׁיִּרְצוּ, יַחֲזֹר הַדָּבָר לִכְמוֹת שֶׁהָיָה.
רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, מִשֶּׁחָרַב בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הָיָה הַתְּנַאי הַזֶּה.
וּתְנַאי הָיָה, אֵימָתַי שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ, יַחֲזֹר הַדָּבָר לִכְמוֹת שֶׁהָיָה.
Kerem revai was brought up to Yerushalayim within a day’s walk in every direction.
And what is its boundary?
Eilat from the south,
Akrabat from the north,
Lud from the west,
and the Jordan from the east.
When the fruit became plentiful,
they enacted that it be redeemed near the wall.
And the matter was conditional: whenever they wish, it reverts to as it was.
Rabbi Yossi says: from when the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed, this condition came to be.
And it was conditional: whenever the Beis HaMikdash is rebuilt, it reverts to as it was.

what does this mean?

A reading aid, not an exact translation.

This English is a clause-by-clause rendering to help you follow the Hebrew. It is not word-for-word literal, and it is not a transcript of the recorded shiur — the audio carries explanation and context the translation deliberately leaves out.

Transcript
A machine transcript of the recorded shiur.

This is the shiur as spoken, transcribed automatically and left unedited — the wording is Ephraim's, and occasional transcription errors remain. It follows the audio word by word.

Mishnah Insights
An amalgam of commentaries, including original insights.

These insights draw on the commentaries to this Mishnah and on the recorded shiur. Those commentaries often rest on earlier sources — the Gemara, the Yerushalmi, the Rishonim, and one another — without always saying so; where they do, we generally cite the one we read. Every commentary consulted is kept, verbatim, with this page.
