Gemara Chullin 92a

Presented By: Avrum Leeder Written by: Nachshon Vered

The Gemara in Chullin 92a teaches there are forty-five righteous people of whom the world continues to exist.

Questions

1. What is symbolized by the number forty-five?

2. Why does the Gemara divide the righteous into two groups of thirty and fifteen?

3. Why is the larger group in Eretz Yisrael?

Answer

The number forty-five factors as three times fifteen.

The Maharal explains that fifteen represents the highest level. For example, Am Israel was redeemed on the fifteenth of Nissan, a time when the moon is full.

Three has special significance. For example, three-fold Torah (Torah, Navi and Ketuvim) to a three-fold People (Kohanim, Levi’im and Yisraelim).

The larger group exists in Eretz Yisrael since it is the heart of the world and source of vitality for the entire world.
