Daf 24 — Chullin 24 Summary

Chullin 24 – Good Morning Raboisai Parah Adumah vs Egla Arufah Mishna: • What is כשר by Parah Adumah פסול by Egla Arufah • What is כשר by Egla Arufah פסול by Parah Adumah Method of Killing Beraisa explains: • Parah Adumah Requires שחיטה If done with chopping ( עריפה ) פסול • Egla Arufah Requires עריפה (chopping from back of neck) If done with שחיטה פסול Attempted Kal Vachomer Gemara: Suggestion: • Since Egla Arufah allows chopping Maybe Parah Adumah should also allow it Rejection – “ חקה ” By Parah Adumah it says: • חקה Therefore: • No comparisons allowed • Must follow exact method Yom Kippur Comparison Gemara brings: • Two goats of Yom Kippur Could have thought: • Selection by decision (like birds) Instead: • Must use גורל (lottery) Why no Kal Vachomer Because of פסוק : • “ חוקת עולם ” Teaches: • Must follow exact system • No שינוי Egla Arufah – Source Why only chopping? From Pasuk: • “ וערפו ” Double language teaches: • Only chopping • Not שחיטה Reverse Question Why not allow שחיטה for Egla Arufah? Answer From פסוק : • “ וערפו ” (repeated) Emphasizes: • Only chopping is valid Kohanim vs Leviim Mishna: • What is valid for Kohanim Not valid for Leviim • And vice versa Kohen – Mum vs Age • Mum (blemish) פוסל a Kohen • Age Not a factor Levi – Age vs Mum • Age (30 – 50) Required • Outside this range פסול • Mum Does NOT disqualify Attempted Kal Vachomer Since Leviim have stricter age rules Maybe Mum should also disqualify them Rejection From Pasuk: • “ זאת אשר ללוים ” Limits פסול : • Only age • Not Mum Reverse Suggestion Maybe Kohanim should have age limits Rejected Pasuk separates: • Leviim → age - dependent • Kohanim → not Age Requirement Clarified • Leviim: Begin training at 25 Serve at 30 Stop at 50 Purpose of 5 - Year Training Gemara: Learning period Rule: • If no success after years of learning Not suited Kohen Age • Can serve from young age Until: • Physical decline (e.g. trembling) Practical סימן If cannot perform properly Considered invalid Other Qualifications • Voice matters (for Leviim) • Harmony required Additional דין – Earthenware Vessel Mishna: • Kli Cheres (earthenware) Rules • Tumah on outside Does NOT affect it • Tumah in airspace inside Makes it טמא Other Kelim • Regular כלי Opposite rule: • Outside contact → טמא • Airspace → no effect Source From Pasuk: • “ תוכו ” (inside) Teaches: • Airspace creates Tumah Important חידוש Even without touching If Tumah is inside airspace Entire vessel becomes טמא Mustard Seed Case Gemara: If vessel filled with small items Two Cases: 1. Tumah enters AFTER filling All becomes טמא 2. Tumah present BEFORE filling Tumah spreads gradually Difference Placement timing affects Tumah spread Key Takeaways (English) • Parah Adumah = shechita only; Egla Arufah = chopping only • “Chukah” prevents logical comparisons • Yom Kippur goats require lottery, not choice • Kohanim: disqualified by blemish, not age • Leviim: limited by age, not blemish • Training period required before service • Earthenware vessels become tamei through airspace • Regular vessels become tamei through contact • Tumah spreads differently depending on timing Catch up, review, download previous Dafim & more: https://www.dafchazarah.co.uk Now available as an app (Apple, Google & Amazon): https://dafchazarah.co.uk/download Sponsor a day: https://dafchazarah.co.uk/sponsor To receive the daf summary daily join our group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/L4AiVVxQwYqLRh4RtMAlGE Daf Chazarah Bot (Request any PDF – past or current): Save the number +44 7427 857802 and message to get instant access Direct link: https://dafchazarah.co.uk/whatsapp לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי רות בת הרב מנחם מנדל לע״נ הרבנית הצדקנית ממעזיבוז׳ מרת רחל בת מתתיהו ע״ה
