Re: Ipcha Mistabra

Just to tidy up Shirona's correct explanation...
"Ipcha Mistabra" is the typical term in the Talmud for "On the 
contrary!"  used as an introduction to a counter-argument.  The phrase 
entered the Yiddish of the typical learned East-European Jew, and from 
there it was taken into Israeli Hebrew.
