- must the basin's water be changed every night so that it does not sit and become disqualified for sanctification?
- the bull should stand with its head to the south and it's face turned to the west; the priest stands to the east of the bull and faces west when he puts his hands over the bull
- What is north? The rabbis say that north is from the northern wall of the altar to the northern wall of the Temple courtyard
- The rabbis discuss whether a priest should sanctify his feet a second time in one day if he first sanctifies his feet for the ashes
- Must a priest sanctify his feet a second time if he leaves the Temple after the first sanctification?
- A priest who reenters the Temple after leaving to "cover his legs", which is a euphemism for having a bowel movement, must immerse and sanctify his hands and feet first
- A priest who reenters the Temple after leaving to urinate must sanctify his hands and feet first
- If a priest becomes ritually impure, he is sometimes permitted to immerse his feet without also sanctifying them before entering the Temple
- The rabbis look at ritual slaughter that occurs outside of the Temple to discuss when sanctification is required
I began Daf Yomi (Koren translation) in August of 2012 with the help of an online group that is now defunct. This blog is intended to help me structure and focus my thoughts as I grapple with the text. I am happy to connect with others who are interested in the social and halachic implications of our oral tradition. Respectful input is welcome.
