Here we learn that this same rule applies to the ramp leading up to the altar \u2013 the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/Kevesh2.php\"> <em>kevesh<\/em><\/a> \u2013 as well. Similarly, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#beithamikdash\">Temple <\/a>vessels \u2013 the <em>klei sharet<\/em> \u2013 also will serve a similar function, and anything that enters them will become sanctified. The source for this is the passage referring to the vessels of the Tabernacle that teaches that the vessels became sanctified and that all that came into contact with them became sanctified, as well (see Shemot <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mechon-mamre.org\/p\/pt\/pt0230.htm#29\">30:29 <\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In truth, not everything that comes into contact with these things becomes sanctified.<br \/>\nJust as the first Mishnah in the <em>perek<\/em> makes clear that this law does not apply to everything that is brought to the altar, but only to animals that are <em>ra&#8217;uy lo<\/em> \u2013 those that are appropriate for sacrifice \u2013 similarly the only things that become sanctified from contact with the <em>kevesh<\/em> or the <em>klei sharet<\/em> are things that are <em>ra&#8217;uy lahem<\/em>. Thus, as the next Mishnah (see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/learning.php?pg=Daf_Yomi&amp;articleId=2230\"><em>daf<\/em> 88a <\/a>) explains, Temple vessels that are used for liquids (e.g. blood, wine, oil or water) will not sanctify solids that are placed in them and those that are used for solids (e.g. flour) will not sanctify liquids that are placed in them.<\/p>\n<p>Another caveat that should be noted is the idea that there is a difference between the type of sanctification that is conferred on the things that are brought to the altar or its ramp as opposed to things that are placed in the Temple vessels. Once a sacrifice is brought to the <em>mizbe&#8217;ah<\/em> or to the <em>kevesh<\/em>, it cannot be removed and is sacrificed. On the other hand, when something is placed in a <em>keli sharet<\/em> it is not fully sanctified; it simply can no longer be redeemed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><u>Zevachim 87a-b: Air rights over the altar<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we have learned (on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/learning.php?pg=Daf_Yomi&amp;articleId=2225\"><em>daf<\/em> 83 <\/a>, and on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/learning.php?pg=Daf_Yomi&amp;articleId=2228\">yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em><\/a>, as well) animals that are appropriate for sacrifice will become fully sanctified if they are brought onto the altar \u2013 or onto the ramp leading up to the altar \u2013 even if there is a problem that would, ordinarily, cause them to be disqualified for sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara <\/a>on today&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em> raises the following question: Does that rule apply to the air above the altar? If an animal that is disqualified from sacrifice is placed above the altar, does it also become sanctified to the extent that it cannot be removed from the altar and must be sacrificed?<\/p>\n<p>In response to this question, the Gemara points out that the same law of <em>keivan she-alu, shuv lo yerdu<\/em> \u2013 once they were elevated onto the altar, they cannot be brought down \u2013 applies not only to the altar, but to the ramp leading to the altar, as well. If the air above the ramp does not have the same level of holiness as the ramp itself, then how could such a sacrifice be transported to the altar? Once the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/jl.htm#kohen\"><em>kohen<\/em><\/a> lifted it off of the ramp, he would have abrogated the rule that once the animal reaches the altar, it cannot be removed from it! Clearly the air above the altar has the same status as the altar itself.<\/p>\n<p>The Gemara rejects this proof by arguing that the <em>kohen<\/em> might have to drag the animal up the ramp, keeping it in physical contact with the ramp at all times.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the Gemara points out that there was a gap between the ramp and the altar, and the <em>kohen<\/em> would surely need to lift the sacrifice at that point in order to transfer it from the ramp to the altar. This, too, is rejected by the Gemara, which argues that the gap was small enough that at all times the majority of the sacrificial animal was either on the ramp or on the altar.<\/p>\n<p>The Gemara&#8217;s conclusion is that the air above the altar \u2013 and the ramp \u2013 has the same status as the altar itself, a position accepted by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M\">Rambam <\/a>as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#halachah\"><em>halacha<\/em><\/a> (see Rambam <em>Mishnah Torah Hilkhot Pesulei HaMizbe&#8217;ach<\/em> 3:12).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><u>Zevachim 88a-b: Dirty laundry in the Temple<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah <\/a>on today&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em> (page) mentions in passing that when one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#beithamikdash\">Temple <\/a>vessels develops a hole, it is not fixed, rather it is replaced. A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=247&amp;letter=B&amp;search=baraita\"><em>baraita<\/em><\/a> brought by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara <\/a>expands on this theme, teaching that when a knife that was used for slaughtering sacrifices became nicked it was replaced, rather than sharpened, and if it became loose from its handle, that also would not be repaired.<\/p>\n<p>What about priestly clothing that became dirty? A second <em>baraita<\/em> is brought that teaches that the uniforms worn by the priests in the Temple were woven rather than sewn and that when they became dirty they were not washed with cleansing agents like <em>netter<\/em> or <em>ahal<\/em>. This statement is clarified by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=120&amp;letter=A\">Abayye <\/a>who explains that if the uniform became lightly stained so that water would clean it, then <em>netter<\/em> or <em>ahal<\/em> could be used; if, however, cleansing agents were needed, then it could not be washed at all. Others rule that these uniforms were never washed, they were always replaced since <em>ein aniyut bimkom ashirut<\/em> &#8211; because there is no poverty in a place of wealth, i.e. in the Temple, a place of wealth, activities appropriate for the poor were not practiced.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that <em>netter<\/em> is Sodium Carbonate (<strong><em>Co<sub>2<\/sub>Na<sub>2<\/sub><\/em><\/strong>). Sodium is found naturally in desert areas, but in the ancient world it was often extracted from kelp.\u00a0 It dissolves easily in water, and the mixture creates a strong base reaction due to hydrolysis, causing fat to break up. For this reason it was commonly used as a cleansing agent beginning in biblical times.<\/p>\n<p>There are several plants in Israel that are called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/Ahal.php\"><em>ahal<\/em><\/a>. One of them &#8211; <em>ahal ha-gevishim<\/em> (<em>Mesembryantnenum cristalimum L.)<\/em> &#8211; is an annual plant that grows among rocks and on walls that face the sea. This plant contains large amounts of soda, which was used for bathing and washing clothing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><u>Zevachim 89a-b: Setting priorities in the Temple &#8211; I<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tenth <em>perek<\/em> of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#masechet\">Masechet<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/learning.php?pg=Daf_Yomi&amp;articleId=2141\">Zevachim<\/a><\/em>, which begins on today&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em> is called <em>Kol HaTadir<\/em> &#8211; &#8220;Whatever is more constant.&#8221; The focus of this <em>perek<\/em> is the order in which the sacrifices must be brought in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/bc.htm#beithamikdash\">Temple<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In any organization with operations as complex as those in the Temple there is a need to set a schedule and clear and consistent priorities. In the Temple there are many situations where the requirements of communal sacrifices are such that different <em>korbanot<\/em> must be brought, e.g. when Rosh Hashanah falls out on <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/s.htm#shabbat\">Shabbat<\/a><\/em> and there are three separate &#8220;sacrifices of the day.&#8221; Even when dealing with sacrifices brought by individuals we may have situations where one person comes to the Temple with a number of different types of sacrifices, or several people come at once, bearing animals for different sacrifices. What is brought first, and what can wait until a later time?<\/p>\n<p>The first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah<\/a> opens with the general statement that <em>kol ha-tadir mehaveiro kodem et haveiro<\/em> \u2013 whatever is more constant than another has precedence over another. That is to say that the more frequently a sacrifice is brought the greater its precedence in the order of <em>korbanot<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>While our <em>perek<\/em> deals with the question of which sacrifice takes precedence when two (or more) <em>korbanot<\/em> are to be brought, a different question arises when we need to bring a number of sacrifices and we do not have enough animals to satisfy all of the requirements. Should the special <em>mussaf<\/em> sacrifice be brought, or, perhaps, the animal should be saved for use as the &#8220;constant&#8221; daily offering? The discussion about this type of issue appears in <em>Masechet <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=432&amp;letter=M\">Menachot<\/a><\/em> (<em>daf<\/em> 49a) where the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> discusses a situation when there are not enough animals for both the <em>temidim<\/em> \u2013 the daily offerings \u2013 and <em>musafim<\/em> \u2013 the additional offerings on special days.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><u>Zevachim 90a-b: Setting priorities in the Temple &#8211; II<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we learned on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/learning.php?pg=Daf_Yomi&amp;articleId=2231\">yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em><\/a>, the tenth <em>perek<\/em> of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#masechet\">Masechet<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/learning.php?pg=Daf_Yomi&amp;articleId=2141\">Zevachim<\/a><\/em> focuses on issues of precedence regarding sacrifices. The first <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mishna\">Mishnah<\/a> in the <em>perek<\/em> taught that whatever sacrifice is brought on a more constant or consistent basis will be brought first. Thus, the <em>korban tamid<\/em> \u2013 the daily sacrifice \u2013 will be brought before a <em>korban musaf<\/em> \u2013 the additional sacrifice brought on <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/s.htm#shabbat\">Shabbat<\/a><\/em> or holidays. The second Mishnah adds another rule \u2013 that whatever sacrifice is holier will be brought first. Thus, a <em>korban chatat<\/em> \u2013 a sin-offering \u2013 will be brought before a <em>korban olah<\/em> \u2013 a burnt offering, since the <em>chatat<\/em> offers atonement, and its blood is sprinkled in a more complete way on the altar.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> on today&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em> raises the question of what to do when these two sets of priorities come into conflict. Should the constant sacrifice be brought first or should the holier sacrifice be brought first?<\/p>\n<p>The Gemara brings a number of proofs in an attempt to clarify this question. For example, on <em>Shabbat<\/em> the <em>korban tamid<\/em> is brought before the <em>korban mussaf<\/em> even though the <em>korban mussaf<\/em> is on a higher level of holiness (the <em>korban mussaf<\/em> is unique to <em>Shabbat<\/em>). Ultimately, the Gemara rejects this proof, as well as all of the other similar proofs, by arguing that on <em>Shabbat<\/em> even the <em>korban tamid<\/em> has enhanced holiness due to the fact that it is brought on <em>Shabbat<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Gemara does not come to any conclusion with regard to this question, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M\">Rambam<\/a> rules that in a case where two sacrifices stand before the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/jl.htm#kohen\">kohen<\/a><\/em>, one of which is brought on a more consistent basis and the other which is holier, the <em>kohen<\/em> can choose to bring whichever he prefers first (see Rambam, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=905&amp;letter=M#3074\">Mishnah Torah<\/a>, Hilkhot Temidin U&#8217;Musafin <\/em>9:2).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><u>Zevachim 91a-b: The frequency of circumcisions<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we learned on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steinsaltz.org\/learning.php?pg=Daf_Yomi&amp;articleId=2232\">yesterday&#8217;s <em>daf<\/em><\/a> the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/di.htm#gemara\">Gemara<\/a> is discussing how to deal with a situation where we find a conflict with regard to setting priorities in sacrifices. Should sacrifices that are brought on a more regular basis (<em>tadir<\/em>) be given priority or should the holier sacrifice (<em>kadosh<\/em>) be brought first?<\/p>\n<p>One of the issues that the Gemara grapples with while discussing this question is how to define the term <em>tadir<\/em>, which we have translated as &#8220;constant,&#8221; that is to say, the sacrifice that is brought with greater frequency. The Gemara tries to bring a proof from the fact that a <em>chatat<\/em> (a sin-offering) and an <em>asham<\/em> (a guilt-offering) take precedence over a <em>shelamim<\/em> (a peace-offering), even though the <em>shelamim<\/em> was the sacrifice that was brought most often by people who accepted upon themselves the obligation to bring a <em>korban<\/em>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=5&amp;letter=R\">Rava<\/a> objects to this proof, explaining that we must distinguish between <em>tadir<\/em>, which means &#8220;constant&#8221; and <em>matzui<\/em>, which means &#8220;common.&#8221; The fact that a <em>korban<\/em> is brought most often does not make it a constant obligation.<\/p>\n<p>Rav Huna bar Yehuda questions Rava&#8217;s assertion by quoting a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishencyclopedia.com\/view.jsp?artid=247&amp;letter=B&amp;search=baraita\">baraita<\/a><\/em> that contrasts two positive commandments for which a person will receive the punishment of <em>karet<\/em> (a Heavenly punishment) if he neglects. The <em>baraita<\/em> states that the Passover sacrifice is not <em>tadir<\/em>, while the commandment of circumcision is <em>tadir<\/em>. In that case it does not appear that a circumcision is more constant that the <em>korban<\/em> Pesach, rather it is more common.<\/p>\n<p>The Gemara&#8217;s answer is that the word <em>tadir<\/em> in the case of circumcision means <em>tadir be-mitzvot.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/rashi.htm\">Rashi<\/a> explains this statement by the Gemara as referring to the idea that the commandment of circumcision contains many <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ou.org\/about\/judaism\/m.htm#mitzvah\">mitzvot<\/a><\/em>.
