Have a good week Rabbi,
Thank you very much for the lessons. In several places you mention the teaching that ‘one cannot learn from the generalities, even in a place where it is said except’ (Kedushin 34), in relation to the Mishnah there. However, the problem in the Gemara is with the positive commandments that the time is obligatory and yet women are obligated, and with the Mishnah that the time is not obligatory and yet women are exempt, that is, it is based on the two rules that appear at the beginning of the Mishnah for which no exceptions are given (the exceptions are at the end, regarding the commandment of 30 that women are obligated except for not being defiled, not being bound, and not being defiled for the dead). Therefore, it seems to me that the end of the excuse ‘one cannot learn from the generalities *and even in a place where it is said except*’ is not necessary and was not said for our Mishnah except in relation to the Mishnah that is given next to it: ‘Our law: In all the Arabs and those who partake of it, except for water and salt [and that is the case with truffles and mushrooms, but one cannot learn from them, etc.]’.
