    Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainZevachim 17b-18a teaches us about the significance of the bigdei kehuna, the priest's clothing. Performing the Temple sacrifices without wearing those clothes was forbidden, and a kohen may not wear the special clothing except on the Temple Mount (Har Habayit). On Yom Kippur, the clothing requirement is especially involved. In this shiur, we will use that clothing requirement as a lens through which to view Yom Kippur and the significance of the kohen's clothes throughout the year.
