The rabbis compare those who become ritually impure due to contact with a creeping animal with those who become ritually impure due to contact with a corpse. What if a priest were ritually impure because of contact with a corpse and the owner is ritually impure because of contact with a creeping animal? Does the priest's frontplate offer acceptance?
And what about a priest or an owner who become ritually impure because of a seminal discharge; a ghonerea-like condition rendering him a zav? If he becomes ritually pure through time and immersion and then develops ziva again, he would have been impure retroactively.
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.
