Yoma 13

1) SUBSEQUENT TREATMENT OF THE REPLACEMENT KOHEN GADOL (cont'd)

(a) R. Yosi agrees that if the first Kohen Gadol dies, that the replacement takes his place permanently.
(b) Question: This seems obvious?
(c) Answer: We might have wished to avoid hard feelings.
2) A REPLACEMENT WIFE
(a) Question: Why do the Rabanan regard the risk of his Pesul moreso than his death?
(b) Answer: The likelihood of Tumah is greater.
(c) Question: How would R. Yehudah respond to the "endless risks" concern of the Rabanan?
(d) Answer: We concern ourselves with the risk of one death, not two (while Rabanan hold that once we are concerned about deaths, we would be concerned even for two).
(e) Question: What of the "endless risk" charge against the Rabanan?
(f) Answer: Kohen Gadol is a Zariz.
(g) Question: Then why the need for the replacement?
(h) Answer: To spur him on even further.
(i) Question: But designating the replacement does not make her his "Beiso?"
(j) Answer: He gives her Kidushin.
(k) Question: But without Chupah, she is still not Beiso?
(l) Answer: He does Chupah.
(m) Question: But then he has two wives, and it is not Beiso?
(n) Answer: He then divorces her.
(o) Question: Then we are back where we started?!
(p) Answer: He divorces her on condition.
3) THE CONDITIONAL DIVORCE OF THE KOHEN GADOL
(a) He stipulates, "If you die..."
(b) Question: He could then end up with two wives?
(c) Answer: He stipulates, "If you don't die..."
(d) Question: He could end up with no wife?!
(e) Answer: He stipulates, "If one of my wives dies..."
(f) Question: He could end up with two wives?
(g) Question #2: A Get with a life-long condition is not valid?!
(h) Answer: He stipulates, "If the other does not die..."
(i) Question: He could end up having had done the first half of the Avodah with two wives?!
13b---------------------------------------13b

(j) Answer: He made a prior stipulation, "If the other dies..."
(k) Question: He could end up with no wife?
(l) Answer: He divorces both with stipulations:
1. To the first, "If the other does not die..."
2. To the second, "If you do not walk into..."
(m) Question: But he could end up with no wife?!
(n) Answer: He takes the stipulation to the second wife into his own control (and if he sees that one is dying he can retroactively activate the divorce of the other).
(o) Question: But it says the singular Bayis by Yibum, as well?
(p) Answer: The extra Yevimto increases the number.
(q) Question: But an Arusah should be restricted by Yibum?
(r) Answer: We learn Arusah by Yibum from HaChutzah.
4) KOHEN GADOL ONEN
(a) (Tana Kama) He offers even while an Onen.
(b) (R. Yehudah) All day.
(c) Question: What is all day?
(d) Answer: We even bring him from his house.
(e) Question: Such a leniency in Aninus from R. Yehudah from whom we know great strictness in this area?!
(f) Answer: Rather, he does *not* offer all day, lest he eat.
