Vicious Guy/Circle

Statements:

1) Every 'ayd' (witness) has to be (potentially) an 'ayd she'ato yochoyl lehazeemo', otherwise they are not accepted to begin with.

2) An 'ayd' that wants to give witness on the position/look of the moon, for the sake of 'ibur hachodesh', is allowed to desecrate shabbos.

Question:

Considering the above statements, every 'ayd' that is desecrating shabbos in order to testify by bes din, if they are being 'mazemd', that would mean that the 'ayd' (who knows that he is lying), was desecrating shabbos 'bemayzid', so they are  'resho'i'm' and there 'aydus' is nullified to begin with, so if its nullified, the 'ayday hazomo' are obsolete.

I'm not sure I understand.
In every case of aidim zommim, they themselves know that that are lying.
Same place that says "keep shabbos" says, " don't bear false witness", so by lying they become reshoim.
The idea youre suggesting would therefore apply to every case of aidim zommim.

What am I missing?

you are right, but what I wanted to say is that in a case where they were mechale shabbos (as we see later on), that means that they were posule aydim, and thus couldn't be mazim.

In other words, how can any ayd be mechalel shabos for kidush levono, as he becomes an ayd she'i ato yochol lehazimo.

Woops, I just realized that its Tisha Bav (for me).
Any discussion on the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza, perhaps?

If there's no aydim on the chillul shabbos he doesn't have a din rasha benogeia bes din, ain adam maisim atzmo rasha. And it could be ain hachi nami, if there's aydim to the chillul shabbos, it's aydus shein ata yachol lehazimam. P.S. for those wondering why i'm posting on such an old topic, Superflyer linked to it today.

Just saw this thread.
I believe your founding premise is wrong.
The Halacha is that an Eyd who ALREADY SAW moon can be Mechallel Shabbos to travel to Beis Din.
[See R"H 21b, and Rambam Kiddush Hachodesh 3:2.]
I am not aware of any Halacha allowing one to be be Mechallel Shabbos IN ORDER to see the new moon.

Didn't formulate it correctly, but that's what I meant.

If so, what is the question?
At the moment when they (claim that they) saw the Eydus they were not yet Balei Aveira.
So it is Eydus Sheattoh Yochol L'Hazimah.
It is true that the Eidim can no longer be made Zomemim if they became Balei Aveira between when they saw the Eydus and when they were Me'id in Beis Din.
But the actual Eydus is Eydus Sheattoh Yochol L'Hazimah.

Why were they not baalei aveiro (talking about them using the facility of chilul shabbos)?

They knew that they were lying, so obviously the chilul shabbes was not permissible + bemayzid.

I reread your question, and I don’t think I understood it the first time. I think this is what you are asking:
If Kat Alef travelled on Shabbos in order to testify in B”D, and afterwards Kat Beis came and were Mazim Kat Alef. That would mean that Kat Alef were Mechalel Shabbos B’Meyzid and are Reshoim. This means that Kat Alef were Pesullim L'Eidus at the time that they were Me'id in B"D, and obviously cannot become Muzomim.

If that is your question, then I propose that the Minchas Chinuch (Mitzvah 4) has a much bigger question, whose answers are good for your question as well.

Question:
There is no Din Hazomoh by Kiddush Hachodesh at all. [See Rambam Kiddush Hachodesh 2:2.] How can there be any Eydus by Kiddush Hachodesh if there is no Din Hazomo?

Answers:
  • Some Ahcronim (Minchas Chinuch, Pnei Yehoshua Kesubois 21b, Beis Halevi 3:6:4) answer based on the second answer of the first Tosfos in Makkos: The rule of “Eidus She’ee Atoh Yachol L’Hazimoh Loy Havye Eidus” is only by Dinei Nefoshos and Dinei Momonos, not by other Dinim such as Kiddush Hachodesh and Kiyum Shtaros.
  • Shiurei Reb Shmuel (Makkos para. 33): The rule of “Eidus She’ee Atoh Yachol L’Hazimoh Loy Havye Eidus” means that it has to be possible to be Mevattel the Eidus through Eidei Hazomoh, even if the Eidim will not become Muzomim.

Oh, that would answer how someone can give aydus, which being that the witnesses, throught their own aydus, become bar mitsva, and thus elegible to give aydus.(They have their birthday on day 1 of the new month).

Now the problem would be that if they are being mazemd, they are still 12, and not valid for aydus, so obviously not mazimable.

The above answer, also answer this question.

@Lamdan the mishna in R"h 20a (not sure I got that right) discusses a story of 40 pairs who stopped by at one of the tanoomin on their way to be meid on the same shabbos. In that case it will be very hard to assume there weren't eideim about the chillul shabbos.

@dirah, the Kheloy Yaakov in R'H siman 20 proves eidues shey ata yachol lehazeima is meacev also in kiddush hachodesh, from tosfos in Kesovos 20a that explains the halacha of ein ed naasa dayan is because that way it is eidus shey ata yachol lehazima. Since ein eid naasa dayan also in kiddush hachodesh, we see from tosfos eidua shey ata yachol lehazima is passul by kiddush hachodes.
Also what u quote from R Shmuel that eidus shey ata yachol lehazima is based on being mevatel there eidus, is basically a rashi in Sanhderin 40a. However, this would still not answer the rebbes question, as in his case the eidus would not be void due to the eidim being muzamim, rather due to them being passul leidus.
Even though we used hazomo to arrive at that conclusion, since we now know they are not eidem at all, they are eidem zommim, and the process was thus not a genuine hazomo. So even according to Rashis opinion it is lechorah an eidus shey ata yachol lehzsima.


Standing on Lamdan's pshat, I think the answer is that even if there are other eidem to prove the chilul shabbos, the eidem are innocent until proven guilty. Thus, we can be mekabel their eidus on the assumption of being meizem them. (Ein adam karov etzel atzomo, so we don't trust them about coming on shabbos).
Even if later eidem came to testify that they came to BD on shabbos, the eidus would remain acceptable as at the time of eidus it was kosher and roy lehzama. The only problem would be if we first accepted the testimony of those who say the eidem came on shabbos.
That would be impossible, as so long as we don't have eidi hazomo, we assume they are honest, and thus coming on shabbos is not chillul shabbos. Hence the testimony about their travelling on shabbos serves no purpose (as they remain kosher), and from the sugya of chetzi davar we know that we don't hear eidus without practical implications.

I didn't look at the gemoro, but unless its very clear, you would have to assume that they are not mechalel shabbos.
