1)

(a)Whereabouts in the Azarah are Kodshei Kodshim Shechted?

(b)What does the Mishnah say about Kodshei Kodshim that one Shechts in the south?

(c)Why are they different than Kodshei Kodshim that are strangled, which are not subject to Me'ilah?

(d)What must someone who benefits from them a Shaveh P'rutah (be'Shogeg) therefore do?

1)

(a)Kodshei Kodshim (See Tosfos Yom Tov) are Shechted on the north side of the Azarah.

(b)The Mishnah rules that Kodshei Kodshim that one Shechts in the south - are nevertheless subject to Me'ilah ...

(c)... even though Kodshei Kodshim that are strangled are not (See Tosfos Yom Tov DH 'she'Shachtan be'Darom) - because the south is eligible (Lechatchilah) for the Shechitah of Kodshim Kalim.

(d)Someone who benefits from them a Shaveh P'rutah (be'Shogeg) must therefore - bring a Korban Me'ilah (See Tosfos Yom Tov & Tiferes Yisrael).

2)

(a)The previous Halachah speaks where the Kohen received the blood in the north. What will be the Din in the reverse case, where the Kodshei Kodshim are Shechted in the north and the Kohen receives the blood in the south (See Tosfos Yom Tov)?

(b)Why might we have thought that they are not subject to Me'ilah (even though they are in the first case)?

(c)What does the Tana say about a case where the Kodshei Kodshim are Shechted in the day and the Kohen performs the Zerikah by night, or vice-versa?

(d)Why does he see fit to mention 'vice-versa', which is obvious?

2)

(a)The previous Halachah speaks where the Kohen received the blood in the north. In the reverse case, where the Kodshei Kodshim are Shechted in the north and the Kohen receives the blood in the south - the same Din will apply (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(b)We might have thought otherwise - because, seeing as, in this case, the Kohen actually performed an Avodah in the south (Shechitah is not an Avodah), perhaps it would take it out of the realm of Me'ilah.

(c)In a case where the Kodshei Kodshim are Shechted in the day and the Kohen performs the Zerikah by night, or vice-versa - the Tana rules that there too, they are subject to Me'ilah.

(d)He sees fit to mention 'vice-versa', although it is obvious (as we just explained) - based on the principle 'Zu, ve'Ein Tzarich Lomar Zu (This, and it is not necessary to mention that [See Tosfos Yom Tov])'

3)

(a)The Tana finally discusses Kodshei Kodshim that one Shechts in the north but at the wrong time or in the wrong location. What does he mean by 'the wrong time' and 'the wrong location'?

(b)What is the major difference between the two?

(c)And what does the Tana say about them?

3)

(a)The Tana finally discusses Kodshei Kodshim that one Shechts in the north but at the wrong time or in the wrong location by which he means - with the intention of eating them outside the allotted time (Pigul) or place.

(b)The major difference between the two is that - one is Chayav Kareis if one eats the former, but not if one eats the latter.

(c)The Tana rules - that they too, are subject to Me'ilah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

4)

(a)What principle did Rebbi Yehoshua teach that determines what is not subject to Me'ilah and what is?

(b)Seeing as whatever is permitted for the Kohanim to eat is not subject to Me'ilah, what is the Chidush in the second half of his statement?

(c)What is the Torah's criterion for Me'ilah? What must Kodshim be called for Me'ilah to apply to them?

(d)Two examples of what was ...

1. ... permitted to the Kohanim are Lanah (if it remained uneaten overnight) and Nitme'ah. What is the third?

2. ... not permitted to the Kohanim are Nishchatah Chutz li'Zemanah or Chutz li'Mekomah. What are the third and fourth?

4)

(a)Rebbi Yehoshua taught that - anything that Kohanim were, at one stage, permitted to eat, is not subject to Me'ilah, and whatever they were not, is.

(b)Bearing in mind that whatever is permitted for the Kohanim to eat is not subject to Me'ilah, the Chidush in the second half of his statement is that - although it became Pasul and they may no longer eat it, it remains not subject to Me'ilah.

(c)The Torah's criterion for Me'ilah is - whatever falls under the category of "Kodshei Hash-m".

(d)Two examples of what was ...

1. ... permitted to the Kohanim are Lanah (if it remained uneaten overnight) and Nitme'ah. The third is - Yatz'ah (if it left the precincts of the Azarah).

2. ... not permitted to the Kohanim are Nishchatah Chutz li'Zemanah or Chutz li'Mekomah. The third and fourth are - Kiblu Pesulin ve'Zarku es Damah.

5)

(a)The previous ruling speaks where the Pesulim received or sprinkled all the Dam Shechitah. What if Kasher Kohanim received and sprinkled the blood that was still flowing?

(b)What is the only P'sul (of the Pesulei Kehunah) to which this ruling will not apply?

(c)Why is that?

(d)On what grounds is Tum'ah different in this regard?

5)

(a)The previous ruling speaks where the Pesulim received or sprinkled all the Dam Shechitah. If Kasher Kohanim received and sprinkled the blood that was still flowing - it is no longer subject to Me'ilah, since the Korban then becomes permitted for the Kohanim to eat.

(b)The only P'sul (of the Pesulei Kehunah) to which this ruling will not apply is - that of Tum'ah ...

(c)... because a Tamei who receives the blood and sprinkles it renders the remainder of the blood 'leftovers', which will not permit the Kohanim to eat the Basar.

(d)This is because Tum'ah - has a Heter with regard to Avodas Tzibur.

6)

(a)Rebbi Eliezer rules that if the Basar of Kodshei Kodshim leaves the Azarah before the Z'rikas Damim, it is subject to Me'ilah.. What does Rebbi Akiva say?

(b)What is the basis of their Machlokes?

(c)Similarly, they argue over whether it is subject to Pigul, Nosar and Tamei or not. What is the basis of that Machlokes?

(d)Seeing as the two Dinim complement each other, why does Rebbi Akiva use the word Aval to introduce the second ruling?

6)

(a)Rebbi Eliezer rules that if the Basar of Kodshei Kodshim leaves the Azarah before the Z'rikas Damim, it is subject to Me'ilah. Rebbi Akiva rules that it is not.

(b)The basis of their Machlokes is - whether Zerikah helps to take Basar that is Yotzei out of the Din of Me'ilah (Rebbi Akiva [even though it does not permit it to be eaten]) or not (Rebbi Eliezer).

(c)Similarly, they argue over whether it is subject to Pigul, Nosar and Tamei or not - whether the Z'rikah of a Pasul animal fixes the Din of Pigul, Nosar and Tamei (Rebbi Akiva) or not (Rebbi Eliezer [See Tosfos Yom Tov]).

(d)When Rebbi Akiva uses the word Aval to introduce the second ruling - he means (not but, but) in truth.

7)

(a)On what condition does Rebbi Akiva's ruling (that Zerikah is effective on Basar that is Yotzei) depend?

(b)Why is that?

(c)Like whom is the Halachah?

7)

(a)Rebbi Akiva's ruling (that Zerikah is effective on Basar that is Yotzei) only applies on condition that - some of it remains inside the Azarah ...

(b)... because then we say - 'Migu' (since the Zerikah takes effect on the Basar that is still inside, it will also take effect on the Basar that is outside).

(c)The Halachah is - like Rebbi Akiva.

8)

(a)Rebbi Akiva proves his point from Mosar ha'Chatas. What is the case there?

(b)On what grounds do we say there that just as the Z'rikas ha'Dam of the one Chatas exempts its Basar from Me'ilah, so too, will it exempt the other Chatas from Me'ilah?

(c)On what condition does the Z'rikas ha'Dam of the one Chatas exempt the Basar of the other one from Me'ilah?

(d)What does Rebbi Akiva go on to prove from the fact that it does?

8)

(a)Rebbi Akiva proves his point from Mosar ha'Chatas - where the owner's lost Chatas is found after he has designated a replacement ...

(b)... and where we say that, just as the Z'rikas ha'Dam of the one Chatas exempts its Basar from Me'ilah so too, will it exempt the other Chatas from Me'ilah - seeing as one initially had the option of sprinkling its blood.

(c)The Z'rikas ha'Dam of the one Chatas exempts the Basar of the other one from Me'ilah on condition that - both Chata'os are Shechted simultaneously (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(d)And from the fact that it exempts the Basar of the other one from Me'ilah, he says - it stands to reason that it exempts its own Basar (even if it has become Pasul be'Yotzei).

9)

(a)Rebbi Eliezer exempts the Emurim of Kodshim Kalim that leave the Azarah, from the Din of Yotzei. On which other ruling of his is this ruling based?

(b)Rebbi Akiva disagrees with Rebbi Eliezer. On which other ruling of his is this ruling based?

(c)What does each of them say in the same case regarding the Din of Pigul, Nosar and Tamei?

9)

(a)Rebbi Eliezer exempts the Emurim of Kodshim Kalim that leave the Azarah from the Din of Yotzei - just as he said with regard to the Emurim of Kodshei Kodshim in the previous Mishnah (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(b)And Rebbi Akiva disagrees with Rebbi Eliezer (See Tosfos Yom Tov) - just as he disagreed with him with regard to the Emurim of Kodshei Kodshim in the previous Mishnah (Ibid.).

(c)And just as they ruled in the previous Mishnah - Rebbi Eliezer exempts them from Pigul, Nosar and Tamei, whereas Rebbi Akiva declares them Chayav.

Mishnah 4
Hear the Mishnah

10)

(a)What distinction does the Mishnah draw between the Z'rikas ha'Dam of Kodshei Kodshim and of Kodshim Kalim with regard to Me'ilah?

(b)Given that both the Emurim and the Basar of the former are subject to Me'ilah, which Kula does the Zerikah cause?

(c)Why is that?

(d)What about the Emurim?

10)

(a)The Mishnah rules that the Z'rikas ha'Dam of Kodshei Kodshim - serves partially Lehakeil and partially Lehachmir with regard to Me'ilah, whereas that of Kodshim Kalim is entirely Lechachmir.

(b)Given that both the Emurim and the Basar of the former are subject to Me'ilah, the Zerikah - causes the Basar to become exempt from Me'ilah ...

(c)... because, since it now becomes permitted to the Kohanim, it loses its status of Kodshei Hash-m (See Tosfos Yom Tov).

(d)The Emurim - remain forbidden.

11)

(a)Which Chumra does the Zerikah of Kodshei Kodshim cause?

(b)What is the Din regarding the Me'ilah of Kodshim Kalim before the Zerikah?

(c)Which two Chumros does the Zerikah then cause?

(d)What about the Basar with regard to Me'ilah?

11)

(a)The Zerikah of Kodshei Kodshim - causes both the Emurim and the Basar to become subject to Pigul, Nosar and Tamei.

(b)Kodshim Kalim before the Z'rikah - are not subject to Me'ilah.

(c)Zerikah causes - a. the Emurim to enter the realm of Me'ilah, and b. both the Emurim and the Basar to become subject to Pigul, Nosar and Tamei.

(d)It does not however - cause the Basar to become subject to Me'ilah.
