Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Menaḥot 48 - Make a Small Sin Now for a Greater Gain Later
Q: Should we wait for the invalid parts to decay or find a way to redeem them?
Rabbi Eliezer suggests burning invalid offerings to still extract some benefit, while the sages argue against this.
Menaḥot 48 - Make a Small Sin Now for a Greater Gain Later
Q: Can you do that?
It's questioned whether it's allowable to intentionally perform a minor sin for a greater good.
Zevaḥim 105 - What Would the Talmud Say about the Electoral College?
Q: What happens if the kohanim leave the courtyard but then realize they made a mistake and come back?
There's a debate whether they remain tam'ah or not; some say once they left, they are permanently tam'ah, while others argue they are not tam'ah since they didn't go through with the burning process.
Zevaḥim 105 - What Would the Talmud Say about the Electoral College?
Q: What if the animal itself did emerge, so in this case, let's assume that the line is exactly fifty-fifty in terms of the mass of the entire animal?
Then we need a tiebreaker. Can we take this front leg here and say, let's follow the majority of the limb, and therefore the majority of the limb is in front, and that will pull that little bit that's in the back towards the front?
Zevaḥim 101 - Why Didn't Aharon Eat the Sin Offering?
Q: Did your sons bring it during Baal their Onanim?
Aharon clarifies that it was he who offered it and as Kohen Gadol, he could do so even in mourning.
