TUM'AS HAMES HUTRAH OR DECHUYAH (cont'd)

(a)

R. Sheishes taught that his source is a Beraisa.

1.

If possible, we replace a Tamei Omer with a Tahor one.

2.

This establishes Tum'ah as Dechuyah, not Hutrah.

(b)

R. Nachman responds that all agree by that which would be eaten (if Tahor) that we attempt to bring Tahor.

(c)

Question: But a Beraisa teaches the same regarding non- edible offerings?!

1.

The Beraisa lists the Minchas Parim, Eilim and Kevasim.

2.

We assume these to be the Menachos of Musfei ha'Chag.

(d)

Answer: No, each item has an alternate explanation for why we seek to replace it with a Minchah Tehorah:

1.

Parim- of Avodah Zarah (Tzibur but not time-set).

2.

Eilim- Aharon's Korban on Yom ha'Kipurim (Yachid).

3.

Kevasim- Minchas Keves ha'Omer (edible parts).

(e)

Question: But why should the Beraisa penalize one who brings Dam Tamei be'Meizid (if Tum'ah is Hutrah)?

(f)

Answer: That is by a Korban Yachid.

(g)

Question: Why do we need Ritzui Tzitz if Tum'ah is Hutrah?

(h)

Answer #1: For Korbenos Yachid.

(i)

Answer #2: For Korbenos Tzibur without a set time.

(j)

Question: The Beraisa says explicitly that Tum'ah is Hutrah!

1.

The Pasuk teaches that the Tzitz carried the Avon.

2.

The only possible Avon is Tum'ah, a leniency which is likely since Tum'ah is Hutrah be'Tzibur!

(k)

Answer: The Machlokes (R. Sheishes and R. Nachman) is a Machlokes Tana'im (between R. Shimon and R. Yehudah).

2)

R. YEHUDAH AND R. SHIMON ON RITZUI TZITZ

(a)

(R. Shimon): The Tzitz is Meratzeh whether or not the Kohen Gadol is wearing it.

(b)

(R. Yehudah): The Tzitz is Meratzeh only when the Kohen Gadol wears it.

(c)

(R. Shimon): A proof can be seen from the Kohen Gadol on Yom ha'Kipurim (not wearing the Tzitz, yet is Meratzeh)!

(d)

(R. Yehudah): His Avodah does not need Ritzui Tzitz because of Tum'ah Hutrah be'Tzibur.

(e)

The above implies that R. Shimon holds it is Dechuyah.

(f)

(Abaye): A broken Tzitz is not Meratzeh (according to both).

1.

The Machlokes is interpreting the Pesukim:

i.

Al Metzach..ve'Nasa- while it is worn (R. Yehudah)

ii.

Tamid..lifnei Hash-m- always (R. Shimon)

2.

Question: How will R. Yehudah explain Tamid?

3.

Answer: That the Kohen must not be Meseach Da'as from the Tzitz.

i.

Rabah b. R. Huna had taught that one must have continuous awareness of his Tefilin.

ii.

This is a Kal va'Chomer from the Tzitz.
