Study Guide Yoma 88 The Siyum of Masechet Yoma is dedicated by Esti Ben-David and Rachel Keren – neés Urbach "In memory of our parents who opened the gates of Torah for us and guided us through them. In memory of our late Father, Ephraim Elimelech Urbach z”l, whose 30th Yahrzeit we have just commemorated. During his lifetime, our father never stopped learning and teaching generations of students. Through his research, he developed new, extensive and diverse fields of learning and research, as testified by his numerous books and academic papers: The Sages – Concepts and Beliefs, The Tosafists (Baalei HaTosafot), The Halakha – Its Sources and Developments, Arugat Ha’Bosem and many others. And in honor of our dear mother, Channa Urbach, may she live a long life, who is currently celebrating her 103rd birthday (til 120!) and who has been throughout her life a model for all her descendants of the love of the Torah, its study and practice." Rav held that if one prays neila, one is exempt from ma'ariv, the prayer said at night. The gemara raises an additional question from a braita against him. In order to answer the question, the gemara concludes that it is an issue that is debated by tannaim as can be found in another braita which discusses one who has to go to the mikveh on Yom Kippur from a seminal emission - can one go in the afternoon of Yom Kippur after mincha? This would depend on whether neila was said in the afternoon or at night. If it was said in the afternoon, one could go to the mikveh after mincha to allow one to pray. However, if neila was recited in the afternoon, one would not be able to fulfill one's obligation for ma'ariv. Once the gemara resolves the difficulty, another braita is brought which contradicts this braita. The contradiction is resolved as well. What happens when someone has a seminal emission on Yom Kippur? Is it seen as a bad sign or perhaps it is a good sign?

Study Guide Yoma 88 Rav held that if one prays neila, one is exempt from ma'ariv, the prayer said at night. The gemara raises questions against this opinion from braitot. One discusses the content of the silent prayer on ma’ariv after Yom Kippur. The second braita discusses one who has to go to the mikveh on Yom Kippur from a seminal emission in order to permit him to pray - can one go in the afternoon, if need be? This would depend on whether neila was said in the afternoon or at night. If it was said in the afternoon, one could go to the mikveh after mincha to allow one to pray. However, if neila was recited in the afternoon, one would not be able to fulfill one's obligation for ma'ariv. Once the gemara resolves the difficulty, another braita is brought which contradicts the first braita. The contradiction is resolved as well. What happens when someone has a seminal emission on Yom Kippur. Is it seen as a bad sign or perhaps it is a good sign?

Study Guide Yoma 87 Today's daf is sponsored in honor of Rabbanit Dasi Fruchter and the South Philadelphia Shtiebel on their siyum of Mesechet Yoma! "We are so inspired by your learning and leadership. Sending so much love your way!! Love, Chayim and Rena Fruchter, Temim Fruchter, Yoshie Fruchter and Leah Koenig, Ora Fruchter and Bradford Jordan, Hannah Heller, Elliot Heller, Amy Supraner and David Fruchter, Debbie Robinson, Yehudit and Sam Daitch, Yechiel Robinson, Sarah Robinson, Rabbi Nissan Antine, Ariel Hart, Maharat Ruth Balinsky Friedman, Rabbi Steven Exler."

Study Guide Yoma 84 This week's learning is sponsored by Elana and Danny Storch. "Thank You to our dear friends Miriam and Eric Feldstein for their generous hospitality throughout the years. With love and deep appreciation." And for a refuah shleima to Deborah Shulamit bat Yocheved Chana. This week's learning is also sponsored by Howard Jacoby Ruben in honor of Debby Jacoby for a wonderful first decade of married life together." So glad that Hashem helped us find each other through Torah." Today's daf is sponsored in memory of Hannah Plunka, Chanah Esther bat Eliyahu Eliezer, on her yahrzeit.   What is the remedy for one bitten by a mad dog? In what cases is one allowed to prepare and take medicine on Shabbat? Do the rabbis disagree with Rabbi Matia ben Charash about medicine for one with a throat ache or not? Saving one's life overrides Shabbat. Who can do it? Anyone? Or should we use someone who is not obligated in mitzvot? Shmuel holds that usual rules of majority don't hold in the case of life and death - to what case is he referring?

Study Guide Yoma 82 From what age do children need to fast? What are the laws regarding chinuch on this issue? From what age do they fast part of the day? The mishna refers to "one or two years before" regarding fasting for part of the day. Why does it say "one or two"? Rav Chisda says that we distinguish between weaker and stringer children. The gemara (according to Rashi) assumes that the mishna means a year or two before the year before they reach maturity as the year before maturity they need to fast on a rabbinic level. Two approaches are brought by amoraim and the gemara tries to reconcile those opinions with what is stated in the mishna. If a pregnant woman has a craving or a sick person needs to eat on Yom Kippur, what can be done? What if a pregnant woman has a craving for non-kosher food (not on Yom Kippur)? To save a life one can do anything except for three commandments - idol worship, forbidden sexual relations, and murder. From where are these laws derived?

Study Guide Yoma 81 Today's daf is sponsored with love by Arlee and Kenny to Tamara Katz, "wishing you a very happy birthday. Thank you for providing us with the inspiration to learn the daf, which we can’t wait to pass on to our daughter Millie." Food and drink cannot combine for a requisite amount to obligate one. Is this only one person's opinion? Why is there no warning on Yom Kippur, i.e. "do not eat"? If one needs to have a warning in order to get punished, where can we find a warning for fulfilling the commandment of affliction on Yom Kippur? Four different answers are brought. From where do we derive the commandment to add on extra time to Yom Kippur, Shabbat and other holidays? It is derived from Vaykikra 23:32 regarding the mention of the ninth of the month in the verse about Yom Kippur (which is on the tenth). A different way of understanding that verse is to learn there is a commandment to eat on erev Yom Kippur. What is the nature of that obligation? If one eats inedible food on Yom Kippur, one is not liable. What is considered inedible? What about drinks? Is vinegar allowed? Rav Gidal said one is not liable for vinegar and his words were misunderstood and people thought they were allowed to drink vinegar on Yom Kippur.

Study Guide Yoma 80 Today's shiur is dedicated for a refuah shleima of Devora Shulamit bat Yocheved Chana. Usually the requisite amount for eating is an olive bulk but the size for the impurity of food is an exception - the size of an egg. This is derived from a change in language in the verse. This idea is reinforced from Yom Kippur where also a change in language reflects and change in requisite amount.   How do you know that food impurity is the size of an egg? Rabbi Elazar states that we must write down the size of something forbidden that we ate in case a court in the future will change the definition of the requisite amounts and we may no longer be required to bring a sacrifice when the temple is rebuilt. Rabbi Yochanan holds that requisite amount are a halacha l'Moshe m'Sinai, however, others disagree. The requisite amount for drinking is "cheekfuls" - what does this mean? Is it subjective? If so, how does this differ from the requirement for food which is not subjective. Several questions are raised. Food can join with other foods and drinks with other drinks to get to the requisite amount but not food and drink together. What about gravy with meat? If one eats excessively, one is exempt. Likewise for a non-Kohen who eats teruma in that manner will have to pay the principle but not the extra fifth as one does not benefit from the act of eating in this manner.

Study Guide Yoma 79 The measurement for which one is liable for karet for eating on Yom Kippur is mentioned in the mishna as a date with its pit. Rav Pappa asks if it is referring to a date + its pit or not? Rav Ashi asks a similar question regarding the amount for which a bone passed on impurity – the size of barley – with its husk or not? Dry or moist? Why didn't each of them ask the other question? There is controversy among amoraim about the size of the date compared to an egg bulk. Accrording to Rav Yehuda, is more than an egg. To Rav Zevid it is less than an egg. The gemara brings a difficulty on Rav Yehuda's opinion from a case that took place in the Sukkah where it is implied that the size of a date is less than an egg. Two resolutions are brought  - of Rabbi Yirmiah and of Rava. The gemara reinforces Rav Yirmiah’s answer from a common expression A question is raised on Rava from a braita in Sukkah which deals with the things that must be eaten in the Sukkah. After resolving the difficulty, another source is brought to reinforce Rava’s answer but it is rejected. The gemara reinforces Rav Zevid’s opinion from a mishna regarding chametz and leaven but it is rejected. Another proof is brought from the blessing after meals.

Study Guide Yoma 77 Today's daf is sponsored by Elisheva Gray in loving memory of her dear husband Ron, z''l, on his tenth yahrzeit. "Grateful for the 25 years we had together. We never took one moment of it for granted and created so many wonderful memories together. Ron was truly a mensch, a gentleman, a wonderful cook and a sage in his own right. I miss him every day, and I know he would be studying the daf right along with me." And by Shelley and Jerry Gornish "in memory of our עז - our beloved and greatly missed grandson, עז וילצ׳יק, whose fifth Yahrzeit was recently commemorated." The gemara explains the verse in Daniel " and I came on account of your words. " And brings a story about the angels Gabriel and Michael and the sequence of events between them and the prophet Daniel based on verses from Ezekiel. The gemara goes back to bringing a third proof that washing is considered affliction from a  verse, "The people are weary and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness" - tired and bathing. How do you prove that it is not a different kind of fatigue? From where do we know that not wearing shows and refraining from sexual relations is affliction? In what circumstances is washing allowed? If one's hands are full of dirt, one can wash them. Washing hands in the morning is allowed because of an evil spirit. It is permissible to go through the water to go to his rabbi or father or to go to a sermon, but is it permissible to return home? Rabbi Yosef questions: How is it permissible to go through the water on a weekday, since there is danger, as seen from verses in Ezekiel describing a river that will come out of the Holy of Holies in the future.

Study Guide Yoma 76 Today's daf is sponsored by Danny and Sara Berelowitz "in honor of the bar-mitzva of our grandson Ariel Berelowitz on Shabbat Parashat Balak." After the gemara brings another way of understanding the verse, “Strong bread was eaten by a man”, the gemara continues with three more discussions dealing with manna. The first - why did the manna go down daily? The second deals with the height of the manna learned from a comparison with the height of the water in the flood. The third - that the manna was a miracle that the world saw and not only the children of Israel. The gemara goes on to discuss the sources of the five afflictions that are practiced on Yom Kippur. Sources are brought to explain how it is known that avoiding washing and putting on oils is considered an affliction.

Study Guide Yoma 75 Today's daf is sponsored by Becki Goldstein "following a family Shabbat Chukat of inspiring divrai torah and uplifting zmirot, celebrating my son Oryahel's 40th birthday, a siyum massechet by his 11 year old son and the graduation from yeshivat of 2 grandsons. זוכה לראות בנים ובני בנים עוסקים בתורה. Thank you to Rabbanit Michelle who enriches our daf yomi by making it relevant to our daily lives and encouraging a deepening chibur, connection, with Torah and Hashem." And by Julie Mendelsohn for a refuah shleima to Yosef Azriel ben Chaya Michal. Yosef, a teenager, was critically injured at Har Meron on Lag B'omer, and has not yet regained consciousness. The power of this group is very strong so let's all pray for his complete recovery.      The Gemara brings up a number of disagreements between Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Asi regarding a number of verses (as a continuation of the disagreement between them in the verses regarding the manna). The last of them deals with the punishments given to the serpent and the woman by God. Rav and Shmuel disagree on the verse "We remembered the daga", the complaint of the children of Israel in the wilderness about the manna and how much better it was in Egypt - are these really fish or forbidden relations? The gemara brings several drashot regarding the manna - its nature, special qualities (miraculous nature) and place of descent. Several drashot are brought regarding the quail that was brought after the Jews complained about not having meat. How was this a punishment? In many of the drashot, there is a reference to the differences between the righteous, the mediocre, and the wicked and how they each received different treatment from God.

Study Guide Yoma 74 Today's daf is sponsored by Art Gould in thanks to HaShem for 48 years of marriage to my beloved bride and partner for life Carol Robinson. 50 years ago this August at a Hillel Summer Institute in Starlight, Pennsylvania on Erev Shabbat before davening I said to this really cute girl "sit with me and I'll get you a prayer book". (She said Yes!) We've been inseparable ever since." And by Robin Katcoff in honor of her 20th Anniversary to Jason. "Jason is my rock and my hero. He keeps me going every day and has helped me build an amazing family with our two daughters. His love of learning has inspired me to continue studying Daf for the past year and a half.  I love having him as my partner in Daf learning and life." The Gemara continues with a difficulty about the Reish Lakish's opinion that eating less than the requisite amount is forbidden by Rabbinic law. The gemara then questions the assumption the gemara made previously that the word "forbidden" would imply that there is no karet punishment. The opinions of Reish Lakish and rabbi Yochanan are discussed regarding less than a requisite amount (chatzi shiur) - is it or is it not forbidden by Torah law? What are the reasons behind each opinion? Rabbi Yochana brings a source against Reish Lakish. What is the definition of "affliction" of Yom Kippur and how is it derived from the verses?

Study Guide Yoma 73 Rav Dimi says that the Kohen who is anointed to strengthen the soldiers when going out to war wears the garments of the Kohen Gadol when he works in the Temple. Ravin says that he wears them when consulting with God through the Urim v’Tumim. Two questions are raised against Rav Dimi. Through these questions, an answer is given that the Kohen who is anointed for war cannot wear the Kohen Gadol's clothing due to jealousy of the Kohen Gadol (by Torah law, he can but the rabbis prohibited). A question is brought from a source that compares all the laws regarding the Kohen Gadol/former Kohen Gadol/and Kohen for war seems to indicate that jealousy is not a concern and yet the Kohen for war does not wear the same clothes as the Kohen Gadol. How is this resolved? Ravin brings a different statement regarding the Kohen for war and the clothing of the Kohen Gadol - he wears them when he consults with the Urim v'Tumim. How does one consult with the Urim v’Tumim? Examples are brought from the Prophets to learn what is said, how it should be said, etc. How was the answer given? What is forbidden on Yom Kippur? What are exceptions to the rule? What is the requisite amount of food that can’t be eaten? Can foods and drink combine to get to the requisite amount? Is it forbidden by Torah law to eat less than the requisite amount (chatzi shiur)?

Study Guide Yoma 72 Today's daf is sponsored by Dahlia Levy in honor of her 50th birthday, and in honor of the wedding anniversary of her dear friends and role models, Rabbanit Michelle and Rabbi Seth Farber. Mazel tov to Eric Leiderman and Sarah Pila on their wedding yesterday. And a refuah shleima to Netanel Ilan ben Shayna Tzippora.  How do we know how many threads were used in the rest of the clothes/fabrics in the list we saw on page 71? Is there a prohibition from the Torah against tearing priestly garments? Is it forbidden to disconnect the choshen from the ephod and the rings from the Ark? Drashot are brought to explain why the boards of the Tabernacle are described as "standing" and the priestly garments called "s'rad"? The gemara brings many drashot on the subject of Torah scholars  (some of them derived from verses on the Ark) on the importance of internalizing what one learns and being a God fearing person.

Study Guide Yoma 71 Today's daf is sponsored by Jill Shames upon the Shloshim of her father, Ze'ev Velvel ben Reuven v'Chana, Bill Baker in gratitude for the love of learning he instilled in his children, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. And by Rivkie Berger Samson in memory of her father, Shea Berger, Yehoshua Heschel ben Ephraim Yisroel HaLevi, on his first yartzeit. "My father’s love of learning and attendance at multiple shiurim during his busy week as well as on Shabbat has inspired me to continue in his footsteps. He is sorely missed. Yihei Zichro Baruch." When did Aharon remove the spoon and the pan? A braita explains that these verses are not in order. How do we know that? Rav Chisda and Rava prove it - each in a different way. The braita also explained that these verses are the only ones that are out of order in this chapter, but also that isn’t so as the burning of the bull and goat are out of order. The gemara proves that they are also out of order. What will a person do if he sees that his children have left the Torah way? The gemara tells a story about a high priest who met Shemaiah and Avtalion after he finished his work on Yom Kippur and the people who accompanied him went instead to escort Shemaiah and Avtalion. The high priest got angry and reminded them that they were once not Jewish (as they had converted). To which they responded: we are behaving more like Aaron's descendants than you because we pursue peace and you do not. The mishna compares the clothes of the lay priest to the clothes of the high priest. How thick do each of the threads need to?

The gemara proves that they are also out of order. What will a person do if he sees that his children have left the Torah way? The gemara tells a story about a high priest who met Shemaiah and Avtalion after he finished his work on Yom Kippur and the people who accompanied him went instead to escort Shemaiah and Avtalion. The high priest got angry and reminded them that they were once not Jewish (as they had converted). To which they responded: we are behaving more like Aaron's descendants than you because we pursue peace and you do not. The mishna compares the clothes of the lay priest to the clothes of the high priest. How thick do each of the threads need to?  

Study Guide Yoma 70 This week's learning is sponsored by Bill and Shira Futornick in memory of Bill's father and Shira's grandfather, David ben Yaakov z"l on his third Yahrzeit. "Although not ritually observant in the traditional sense, he taught us through example. As a writer, he would never touch his IBM Selectric, Smith Corona, or any other means of writing, on Shabbat. He was a man who truly valued treating people with kindness, and for whom family was of paramount importance. " Today's daf is sponsored by Emma Rinberg in loving memory of Dr. Eric Glick, "who passed away on 10 Tammuz, 31 years ago, taken from us too soon. Daddy had the calming hand of a doctor, a beautiful singing voice, a deep knowledge of Torah (he knew chumash by heart) and a great emunah in Hashem. He was a Zionist all his life and would be so proud of all of his family, his legacy. I miss him a lot. May his memory be blessed and our learning bring an aliya to his neshama." The Gemara explains different details that were mentioned regarding the reading of the Torah by the Kohen Gadol. What is the order of the sacrifices performed in the Temple on Yom Kippur? The mishnah describes from the third dipping in the mikveh to the fifth and final one. There are some controversies over certain details - such as, when were the additional (musaf) sacrifices brought? Was there one ram (communal offering) the was mentioned both in Vayikra and referred back to in Bamidbar? Or was the ram mentioned in Bamidbar with the musaf offerings a different one than the one mentioned in Vayikra?

Study Guide Yoma 69 Can one benefit from priestly garments? The gemara tries to find an answer to this question. Is it forbidden to wear priestly garments outside the Temple? If so, how did Shimon the Tzaddik wear them for his meeting with Alexander the Great when he convinced him to prevent the Cutim from destroying the Temple (Mount Gerizim Day)? In the book of Nehemiah it is said that they called on the name of the great God - what is the meaning of "the great"? How did the Jews manage to eliminate the evil instinct for idol worship? What was the problem when they sought to eliminate the evil instinct for forbidden sexual relationships? Is it possible to skip portions when reading the Torah? From the Prophets?

Study Guide Yoma 68 Today's daf is sponsored in honor of Mordechai ben Regina. May HaShem bring him a refu'ah shleima umheira. With love, Debbie and Gerard Engelen-Eigles. From where do we learn that you do not flay the skin of the animal before burning but we do cut it into pieces? At what point do those who burn the bull and goat become impure and their clothes as well? There are two opinions – from where do each derive their answer? Where is the place where they burn the animals? And which people involved become impure? What method was used to determine that the goat was sent to the desert so that they could continue the work in the Temple? Up to what stage of the process of the goat to Azazel can the Kohen Gadol already continue his work in the Temple? The Kohen Gadol reads from the Torah - what exactly does he read? What clothes does he wear or can he wear? What can we learn from this about the reading and the priests’ clothing? What blessings did he bless after reading from the Torah?

Study Guide Yoma 67 Pictures Today's daf is sponsored by Achsah Weinberg in honor of Rabbanit Michelle Farber, for the huge Hadran project, and for her daily teaching. And also in memory of her mother in law, Adele Weinberg, who passed away twenty years ago. "We are sure that she is very proud with the learning of her offspring." And by Rina Baumel in honor of her mother, Judy Schwartz, for her birthday. "Mom, your care and devotion to our family, daily acts of chessed and endless learning are a true inspiration to me. I'm happy we are taking this journey of the Daf Yomi together. Happy birthday." The mishna and gemara describe the process of sending the goat to the desert and off the cliff. How many huts were on the way and how many mil (2000 cubits) were there between Jerusalem and the cliff? There are different opinions on the subject. They would offer him water to eat - how?? It was Yom Kippur!! He put a strip of red fabric - half on a rock and half between its horns. Why? Have they always done this or was tis originally done in the Temple? Are the limbs of the animal forbidden to benefit from? The gemara brings various drashot regarding the words used to describe the ceremony. The law of a goat is very difficult to understand – it is considered a chok, something we cannot understand but shouldn’t question. What is behind this ceremony? When does the sender become impure (also his clothes)? What happens in the Temple with the bull and the goat? They are taken out of Jerusalem to be burned and the innards are first removed to be burned on the altar.

Study Guide Yoma 66 Today's daf is sponsored by Oliver Mitchell in honor his my wife, Rabia Mitchell, on their 25th wedding anniversary. "Thank you HaKodosh Baruchu for enriching my life with Rabia - my best friend, wife, teacher, and mother to our 5 children. I’m appreciative for every minute we spend together. Your learning, mitzvot, and chessed is an inspiration to all. Looking forward to the next 25 and beyond! Lovingly." And by Shari Mendes in honor of her husband, David, on their 36th wedding anniversary. "It is a blessing and a joy to have merited a few rounds of chai (18) together. Grateful for the wonderful years and praying for many more in health together." A fifth and final answer is brought regarding the contradiction between Rabbi Yehuda's opinion (according to Rava's explanation) regarding one who pays two half shekels and one who ends up with two animals dedicated for the bull or goat offering for Yom Kippur. What is the process of sending the goat out to the desert? Who can do it? Can he carry the goat out even on Shabbat, if necessary? Can he go into the Azara to get the goat if he is impure? Rabbi Eliezer is asked a slew of questions (|some relating to mess-ups that could happen on Yom Kippur with the scapegoat) that he is unwilling to answer and instead answers back with a question. Why was he behaving in that manner. One question is asked by a woman regarding the three methods by which people were killed after the sin of the Golden Calf. Rabbi Eliezer responds by saying, "A woman's wisdom is in the spindle." Even though Rabbi Eliezer didn't answer the questions, the gemara brings answers for the ones relating to Yom Kippur and for the one about the Golden Calf. Did all of the Levites not sin in the Golden Calf or did some?

And by Gitta Neufeld in memory of her father on his yahrzeit, Yosef ben Menachem Mendel v’Pesha, Phillip Jaroslawicz. And by Harriet Hartman in memory of her husband Moshe ben Yehuda Aryeh z"l. "I wish we had been able to learn Daf Yomi together, and I hope my learning is helpful to his nishama." And by Rabbi Michael & Alexis Singer. "Mazel Tov to our daughter Miriam on her graduation from Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy. We wish her continued success at List College & Columbia University. We are so proud of you as you keep up your study of Talmud." And by Sharon Russ for the refuah shleima of Ruchama Adina bat Mazal Shifra Chaya Tova. "Ruchama is G- d willing, having surgery this morning. May we hear good news and may she have a speedy complete recovery!" The gemara raises several questions from various lines in our mishna on Rav and Rabbi Yochanan's approaches regarding a case where two lotteries are needed (if one animal dies) - which one is sacrificed and which one is left to graze. Each question is answered. On what points does Rabbi Yehuda disagree with the rabbis? The gemara explains his approach. The gemara raises a contradiction between two other statements of Rabbi Yehuda - one regarding someone who paid double for this year's half-shekel payment - it can be used for the next year. The other is regarding two goats or bulls for Yom Kippur that were both designated for the same sacrifice (as one got lost and was then found, after the other had been chosen) and Rabbi Yehuda doesn't allow it to be left for next year. Why the difference? The gemara brings several answers (4 on this page) and they are all rejected.

Study Guide Yoma 64 Presentation - Goats This week of learning is sponsored by Yael & Mark Shayne in honor of their daughter, Dr. Elizabeth Shayne, who is receiving semicha from Yeshivat Maharat tomorrow. "We are proud of her accomplishments and thrilled to watch her evolve; but we are also excited to see how she continues to develop and contribute to Klal Yisrael. Yashar koach and Mazal tov." Today's daf is sponsored by Ilana Fund in honor of her mother Rena Barta on her birthday tomorrow. "Mazal Tov and Happy Birthday Eema! So proud and inspired to be joining you on your daf yomi journey from halfway around the world. I am looking forward to being able to learn with in you person this summer, beezrat Hashem. I love you." And in memory of Yaakov ben Meir, Rabbeinu Tam.  What happens if one of the goats dies? A new lottery is performed. If the goat for Azazel dies, what happens to the two goats that were designated for Hashem? Which one is sacrificed and what happens to the other. Rav and Rabbi Yochanan disagree and their debate depends on their opinion regarding whether or not animals that get rejected remain rejected or not. From where is each opinion derived? Tannaitic sources are brought to support each opinion.

Study Guide Yoma 63 Today's daf is sponsored anonymously in memory of HaRav Menachem Mendel ben Levi Yitzhak, the Lubavitcher Rebbe.  According to Rav Chisda, if an animal is considered "missing an action associated with it," if one slaughters it outside, one would not be obligated for slaughtering outside the Temple. Therefore, one would not be obligated for offering outside the Temple peace offerings before the opening of the Sanctuary doors. A contradiction is brought regarding Rav Chisda's halacha that regarding the goats, one would be obligated, even though it is missing an action, as it can potentially be used for the musaf offering of a goat. Does Rav Chisda use the halachic principle "ho'il" - 'since it can be potentially valid'? Where does Rav Chisda hold that we don't use that principle? If a Pesach is offered not in its proper time (not on the fourteenth of Nisan) outside the Temple, is one obligated for slaughtering outside the Temple? Does it depend on whether he intended it as a Pesach or as a peach offering? Three opinions are brought. The goat that is sent to Azazel is excluded from laws of slaughtering outside the Temple, however, is included in other laws - must be sanctified only once it is eight days old and cannot be brought from a blemished animal.

Study Guide Yoma 61 The month of Tamuz is sponsored by Rabbi Fredda Cohen and Eric Nussbaum in memory of Fredda's beloved father, Mitchell Cohen, Michael ben Shraga Faivel haLevi, whose 27th yahrzeit falls on 16 Tammuz. "He was so kind, sweet and funny. He had a big open heart for klal Yisrael v'chol yoshvei teivel. He would never have categorized himself as a Torah and Talmud scholar, but indeed he was. The father of three girls, he gave all of us a Jewish education. He was a loving husband who adored our mom. There was no one I missed more on the day I received s'micha as he was my inspiration and ballast. He would be delighted to know that he has nine grandchildren, two of whom carry his name, and two great-grandchildren. He was truly an ish neeman. The month is also dedicated for Refua of Pesha Ethel bat Sarah." Today's daf is sponsored by Ilana Friedman, in memory of her dear cousin Dvora Ita bat Harav Azriel Zeev on her yahrtzeit.  "Dvora was a brilliant woman with a strong sense of justice and integrity who loved to learn and who would have been my biggest Daf cheerleader.  She is loved and missed.  May she be a melitzat yosher for her family and women everywhere dedicated to Torah learning." Ulla said: If the Kohen Gadol slaughtered the goat before sprinkling the blood of the bull in the Holy of Holies, he should start the process from the beginning. Does this contradict what is written in the mishna? For what are all the different parts of the sprinkling of the blood intended to atone? Do Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon disagree both on the matter of blood (if the blood is spilled, where do we start) and on the guilt offering of a leper (if the oil is spilled)?

Study Guide Yoma 62 If the blood spills before all the sprinklings are finished, a new animal is slaughtered. What happens to the animals whose blood was sprinkled? If it was a goat, a new lottery must be done – are all the goats that were chosen to go to Azazel actually sent to Azazel? Rav Nachman concludes that only one is sent. Which one? The two goats are supposed to be identical in a number of ways, but if they are not, they can still be used. What happens if one of them dies? From where is the law derived that they should be identical but if not, they can still be used? The same laws apply also to the two lambs brought for a leper and the two birds used in the leper’s purification process and for the two lambs used for the Shabbat additional sacrifices. Why does it not apply to the two lambs used for the Tamid daily sacrifice?

Study Guide Yoma 60 A week of learning is sponsored by Sivya and Nahum Twersky in honor of Shoshana Baker's milestone birthday. "May Hashem grant her arichut yamim in good health with her beautiful family. There is so much nachat left to come. We are so very proud of her commitment to Torah, Avodah v.Gemilut Chasadim. Hamaevin Yavin. All of our love and admiration, Mom and Abba." Today's daf is sponsored by Mark Baker in honor of his wife's Shoshana's birthday. Wishing her the happiest birthday to his beautiful wife. And by Gitta Jaroslawicz-Neufeld for the refuah sheleima of David ben Adel and all that need health. Is it really true always that once the mitzva is complete, there are no laws on misuse of consecrated property? After all, there are exceptions like the trumat hadeshen, removal of the ashes – once there are placed in the pile, they remain there and can’t be used. How is this issue resolved? Why was it necessary to bring 3 different drashot excluding it from laws of misuse of consecrated property? Each word comes to exclude a different law. Why is there no need for a verse to exclude laws of pigul by blood? Every act of Yom Kippur must be done in order. Does this really mean everything? There is a dispute between Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Nehemiah - does it only apply to what is done in white clothes inside the Holy of Holies or to everything that is done in white clothes? The gemara discusses their opinions. What happens if the blood is spilled in the middle of the sprinklings? From what point does the Kohen Gadol need to start with a new animal?

Study Guide Yoma 59 Today’s daf is sponsored by Rabia Mitchell in honor of Oliver Mitchell on their 25th wedding anniversary.  These past 25 years have been overflowing in joy and laughter, our 5 children, thousands of Shabbos guests, traveling with the family or simply sitting together and learning the Daf. It has all been a delight and I am so grateful for each and every day. Thank you for sharing your life with me. What is the point on which Rabbi Yosi HaGlili and Rabbi Akiva disagree regarding the direction in which the Kohen Gadol goes when doing the placements of blood on the inner altar? The gemara brings several options and analyzes them. After that the Kohen Gadol sprinkled the blood on the "tiharo" of the altar seven times - what part of the altar is that? The Kohen Gadol now leaves the Sanctuary and spills the remainder of blood into a hole at the base of the altar. Into which hole - the Western or Southern one? Is this the same or different from sacrifices whose blood was sprinkled on the outer altar? There are different opinions brought. Is there a law of misuse of consecrated property (meila) by the blood that goes from the base and drains out to Nachal Kidron? If there is, it is only rabbinic as there are no laws of meila by blood. Three drashot are brought to explain from where this is derived in the Torah.
