Yoma 50
YOMA 49-50 (6 & 7 Adar) were dedicated by Harav Avi Feldman & family in
memory of his father, the Tzadik Harav Yisrael Azriel ben Harav Chaim
(Feldman) of Milwaukee (Yahrzeit: 6 Adar)

1)
(a) Rebbi Yitzchak Nafcha learns from the Pasuk in Vayikra "ve'Hotzi es Kol
ha'Par" that, even after the bull has been Shechted, it is still called a
bull. What does Rebbi Ami learn from there?
(b) And how does he reconcile the Pasuk "ve'es Par ha'Chatas ve'es Se'ir
ha'Chatas" (which also refers to the animals after they have been Shechted)
with the Derashah "be'Par" 've'Lo be'Damo'?
(c) How does Rav Ashi prove that the blood of the bull *is* called 'Par'
from the Pasuk "be'Zos Yavo Aharon el ha'Kodesh"?
(d) How is his proof rejected?
2)
(a) What happened to a Chatas whose owner died?
(b) What do the bull of Yom Kipur, the Chavitei Kohen Gadol and the Korban
Pesach, all have in common?
(c) How does Rebbi Meir use this information to query the Tana Kama of the
Beraisa's principle? What is that principle?
(d) How do we try to use Rebbi Meir's statement to prove that the bull of
Yom Kipur is a Chatas Tzibur and therefore does not die?
3)
(a) Rebbi Ya'akov queries the Tana Kama from the communal Par He'elam Davar,
the communal goats of Avodah-Zarah and the Chagigah - all of which are
Korbenos Tzibur, yet they do not over-ride Shabbos or Tum'ah. How does
this dispense with the contention from Rebbi Meir's words that the Tana Kama
might consider them a Korban Tzibur?
(b) Then what problem do Rebbi Meir and Rebbi Ya'akov have with the Tana
Kama?
(c) According to Rebbi Meir and Rebbi Ya'akov, which Korbanos over-ride
Shabbos and Tum'ah, and which do not?
(d) Why is the Korban Chagigah considered 'Ein Zemano Kavu'a'?
4)
(a) Rebbi Yehudah in a Beraisa holds that the bull and the goat of Yom
Kipur, as well as the goat of Avodah-Zarah, that were lost, re-placed and
then found, must die. Rebbi Elazar and Rebbi Shimon hold that they are sent
to graze, and then, when they become blemished, they are redeemed, and the
proceeds used for Nedavah of Kayitz ha'Mizbe'ach. Why is that? Why do they
not have to die?
(b) How do we amend the Beraisa to reconcile this with what we learned above
(that the bull of Yom Kipur is *not* a Korban Tzibur)?
(c) Then why does the Tana say 'shel Yom ha'Kipurim'?
(d) On the basis of another Beraisa, which specifically quotes Rebbi Elazar
and Rebbi Shimon with regard to the *bull of Yom Kipur*, too, and in view of
the earlier Beraisa, which referred to it as a Korban Yachid, we amend their
statement of 'she'Ein Chatas Tzibur Meisah'. How does the amended version
read?
5)
(a) Rebbi Elazar and Rebbi Shimon learn this principle from Temurah (since
all five Chata'os that die must have the same specifications). From where
do we know that Temurah does not apply to a Korban ha'Shutfin?
(b) On principle, Rava agrees with Rebbi Amram, who explained that, even if
the Kohen Gadol died, the bull of Yom Kipur did not have to die, because it
was a Chatas Tzibur - only he amends 'Chatas Tzibur' to 'Chatas ha'Shutfin'.
What is the practical difference between the two terms?
(c) Why are the Kohanim (the tribe of Levi) not called a 'Kahal' (even
though each of the other tribes *is*?
Answers to questions
50b---------------------------------------50b
6)
(a) Rebbi Elazar (ben Shamu'a) asks whether, according to Rebbi Meir, who
calls the bull of Yom Kipur a Korban Yachid, it can make a Temurah. Can we
infer from the question, that the Chachamim consider it a Korban Tzibur?
(b) Considering that the bull undeniably atones for all the Kohanim, what is
Rebbi Elazar's She'eilah? Why should Rebbi Meir refer to it as a Korban
Yachid?
(c) According to Rebbi Yochanan, regarding a case where one person pays for
another's Kaparah ...
- ... who pays the extra fifth if, after the designated animal becomes blemished, one of the two wants to redeem it?
- ... who has the legal right to declare a Temurah?
- ... who has the choice of Kohen - if one person is giving Terumah to cover the crops belonging to another?
(d) In light of what we have just said (that it is the person who is being
atoned for who has the right to declare a Temurah rather than the person who
pays), how do we explain Rebbi Elazar's She'eilah? In view of the fact that
the bull comes to atone for all the Kohanim, why might it not be considered
a Korban ha'Shutfin?
7)
(a) An original Korban has four stringencies over a Temurah. *Three* of them
are: that it applies even to a communal Korban, that it over-rides Shabbos
and that it over-rides Tum'ah (all of which a Temurah does not). What is
the *fourth* stringency?
(b) Whether one declares a blemished animal Hekdesh, or one declares it a
Temurah, the Kedushah is effective. What is the difference between the two
in this regard?
(c) The Gemara asks to which Korban the Tana is referring: What will be the
problem if it is ...
- ... a Korban Yachid?
- ... a Korban Tzibur?
8)
(a) We try to establish the Beraisa by the bull of the Kohen Gadol. How will
this solve our problem?
(b) How will it also resolve the She'eilah that Rebbi Elazar asked at the
beginning of the Amud (about the bull of Yom Kipur making a Temurah)?
(c) How do we reject this proof? Which alternative animal could the Tana of
the Beraisa be referring to?
(d) We then try to prove that the Beraisa *must* in fact be referring to
Aharon's ram, and not to the bull. Why not?
9)
(a) We finally remain with the possibility that the Tana is referring to the
bull, and explain Temurah to mean 'Shem Temurah'. What does 'Shem Temurah'
mean?
(b) Why can we not then also explain 'Zevach' to mean Shem Zevach, in which
case the Kashya from Korban Yachid and Korban Tzibur falls away (and the
need to establish the Beraisa by any one particular Korban)?
(c) Why does the Tana refer to 'Shem Temurah', but not to 'Shem Zevach'?
