Pesahim 34 - Stupid Babylonians!
Rabbi Richard Hidary
Pesahim 34 – Does Recycled Material Retain Original Status? A. Can kohen use impure terumah wheat kernels as fuel? Rav Huna – no R. Yohanan - yes B. onions that were impure terumah and then replanted become pure, but inedible: to whom? Kohen – why inedible if it’s pure? 1. Non-Kohen – Rabbah – remains terumah 2. Kohen – Rav Sheshet – diverted attention R. Yohanan – because of impurity Resh Lakish – inherent disqualification Challenge from hole for birds Challenge from sprinkled blood 3. Kohen – Resh Lakish – stringency of holiness Does it apply even to oral designation of holiness?
