FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) A Tamei Mes, on days one to six, does not become Tahor at nightfall.
(2) A Tamei Mes, on his seventh day, becomes Tahor at nightfall (and can eat
the Korban Pesach in its proper time).
(3) For example, all of the knives became Tamei, and it is not possible to
slaughter the Korban in a state of Taharah. (See Tosfos 22b, DH Iy Hachi.)
(4) In such a case, it is permitted to bring the Korban in a state of
Tum'ah, because of the rule that "Tum'ah Hutrah b'Tzibur."
(5) The Gemara (22b) says that the Ziknei Darom maintain that the
"Mechaprim" are like the "Miskaprim," which means that just as we do not say
that "Tum'ah Hutrah b'Tzibur" when most of the nation is Tamei with Tum'as
Sheretz (since they are able to offer their Korbanos in a state of
*Taharah*; see footnote #7), so, too, we do not say that "Tum'ah Hutrah
b'Tzibur" when the Kohanim (or the knives) are Tamei with Tum'as Sheretz.
(However, according to Tosfos on 22b, DH Iy Hachi, in the name of Rabeinu
Tam, "Tum'ah Hutrah b'Tzibur" applies in these cases as well.)
(6) For all other Korbanos the principle of "Tum'ah Hutrah b'Tzibur" does
not apply. (In addition, there is no practical difference to Tum'as
ha'Ba'alim for other Korbanos; see below, footnote #12).
(7) This is because of the rule that "Shochtin v'Zorkin Al Tamei Sheretz" --
we may do Shechitah and Zerikah of a Korban on behalf of a person who is
Tamei with Tum'as Sheretz. Because of this, the Tum'as Sheretz of the owner
does not invalidate the Korban at all, since he does not touch it while he
is Tamei, and in the evening he becomes Tahor and is able to eat it. (Since
it is possible for him to bring the Korban without making it Tamei, we do
not say "Tum'ah Hutrah b'Tzibur" with regard to Tum'as Sheretz, and thus it
is prohibited for one who is Tamei with Tum'as Sheretz to enter the Azarah
at the time that his Korban is being offered, as Rashi says (22b, DH Ela
Savrei).) According to Rashi (23b, DH Ileima), it appears that this, too,
requires Ritzuy of the Tzitz to make it a valid Korban. See Tosfos there (DH
Iy Neima) who argues with Rashi.
(8) This is the primary application of Ritzuy ha'Tzitz, which is Mechaper
for the Tum'ah of Korbanos, even if they are Tamei with Tum'as Sheretz (even
though the Tzitz is not Meratzeh for the Tum'as Sheretz of the Kohen,
according to the Ziknei Darom) as the Gemara concludes (23b).
(9) This is the Chidush of the Ziknei Darom (22b) in their explanation of
the Mishnah (15b); since Tum'as ha'Kohen is Meratzeh b'Tzibur l'Chatchilah,
it is Meratzeh for a Yachid b'Di'eved.
(10) According to Rami bar Chama (23a, and Reish Lakish on 22b), we cannot
validate a Korban of a Yachid brought with Tum'as ha'Kohen, as the Ziknei
Darom permit, because if we do, then we will also have to validate a Korban
brought with Tum'as Sheretz, based on a Kal v'Chomer -- since Tum'as Sheretz
is more lenient than Tum'as Mes. We know that Tum'as Sheretz is more lenient
than Tum'as Mes, according to Rami bar Chama, because we do *not* bring a
Korban Pesach on behalf of a person who is Tamei with Tum'as Mes, even though
we *do* bring a Korban Pesach on behalf of one who is Tamei with Tum'as
Sheretz (see below, footnote #14).
(All of this is according to the view of Rashi. Tosfos (22b, DH Iy Hachi;
23b, DH Iy Neima), however, maintains that Rami bar Chama indeed derives
from the Kal v'Chomer that the Korban is Hurtzah b'Di'eved for both Tum'as
Mes and Tum'as Sheretz of a Yachid. When our Mishnah says that a Tamei is Me
chalel the Avodah, it is referring to a Tum'ah that comes from his body,
such as the Tum'ah of a Zav and a Metzora. According to Tosfos, Rami bar
Chama interprets the Beraisa which validates the Avodah when done with
Tum'as ha'Guf as referring to the two cases 2:A and 2:B.)
(11) This is the intention of the Mishnah when it says that a Kohen who is
Tamei is Mechalel the Avodah. (This is according to Rashi. Tosfos (ibid.),
however, holds that this, too, is Hurtzah b'Di'eved, as mentioned above in
footnote #10.)
(12) With regard to all other Korbanos (except for the Korbanos of a Nazir),
there is no practical difference if the owner of the Korban is Tamei (Tum'as
ha'Ba'alim). The practical difference is only when the Kohen who offers the
Korban is Tamei (Tum'as ha'Kohen), as Rashi (23a, DH Mipnei she'Amru)
writes.
(13) The Ziknei Darom maintain that b'Di'eved, "Shochtin v'Zorkin Al Tamei
Mes" as well as Tamei Sheretz (and only l'Chatchilah is the person's Korban
pushed off until Pesach Sheni).
(14) Rami bar Chama maintains (as does Reish Lakish on 22b) that "*Ein*
Shochtin v'Zorkin Al Tamei Mes" for the Korban Pesach (when the Tzibur is
not Tamei), even b'Di'eved.
(15) This applies to all Korbanos except for the Korban Pesach (as recorded
in the preceding row) and the Korban of a Nazir, which everyone agrees is
Pasul when the owner is Tamei (23b).
