“Piska” in Ein Ya’akov

Question

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question.

In this page of Ein Yaakov on Sotah, near the bottom of the page appears the word “Piska” in bold lettering. I don’t think it’s part of the actual Gemara, so what does this signify? Thanks.

    The word Piska appears quite often in the Ein Ya’akov and in the Midrashic texts. It means that it is introducing a new section. If you look at the page on the Gemara this part of the Ein Ya’akov comes immediately after a colon in the Gemara.
