Daf 100 — Zevachim 100 Summary

Zevachim 100 – Good Morning Raboisai Summary of Reb Eli Stefansky’s Shiur Core Question — Can an Onen Eat Korban Pesach at Night? We begin with a major contradiction in Rabbi Shimon : • One source says: An Onen does eat Korban Pesach at night. • Another source says: An Onen does not eat Korban Pesach . Since Korban Pesach carries כָּרֵת if not eaten, this question is critical. Background — The Five Korbanos of Pesach On Pesach, a person potentially brings five korbanos : 1. Olas Re’iyah — appearing before Hashem 2. Chagigas Yud - Daled — eaten before Pesach to be al ha’sova 3. Korban Pesach 4. Chagigas Tes - Vav 5. Shalmei Simcha Key distinction: • Korban Pesach → obligation with karet • Chagigah of the 14th → optional support korban An Onen : • Eats Korban Pesach • Does NOT eat the Chagigah This already explains part of the contradiction. Four Levels of Aninus (in Order of Severity) 1. Yom HaMisa — day of death o Everyone agrees: De’Oraisa 2. Leil HaMisa — night after death o Machlokes: De’Oraisa or Derabbanan 3. Yom HaKevurah — day of burial o Everyone agrees: Derabbanan 4. Leil HaKevurah — night after burial o Machlokes: Derabbanan or nothing Also included: • Yom Shemuah — day one hears of the death (within 30 days) • Likutas Atzamos — gathering bones (lighter status) Rav Mari’s Resolution — Death vs. Burial Rav Mari answers: • If the death occurred on Erev Pesach → o Night is like the day o Aninus De’Oraisa o Cannot eat Korban Pesach • If the death occurred earlier and only burial was on Erev Pesach → o Aninus is Derabbanan o Does not override Korban Pesach o He eats Korban Pesach This resolves Rabbi Shimon’s contradiction. Abaye’s Brilliant Answer — Time of Obligation (Chatzos) Abaye gives a powerful rule: Korban Pesach obligation begins at Chatzos on the 14th of Nisan. Therefore: • If the father died before Chatzos → o Person became an Onen before obligation o No Korban Pesach • If the father died after Chatzos → o Obligation already took effect o He must bring and eat Korban Pesach Simple. Clean. Decisive. Yosef HaKohen — Forced to Become Tamei Story: • Yosef HaKohen’s wife died on Erev Pesach. • He wanted to avoid tumah to eat Korban Pesach. • Beis Din forced him to become tamei. Why? We do not follow personal spiritual preferences — We follow ratzon Hashem. If death occurred before Chatzos , mitzvas kevurah overrides Pesach. Nazir & Kohen — Learning from “ לְאָּחִיו ” Pesukim by Nazir list multiple relatives: • Father • Mother • Brother • Sister Each teaches a stronger chiddush. Final conclusion: Even a Kohen Gadol and Nazir must become tamei for a Mes Mitzvah . This parallels our sugya: • Some mitzvos override even Korban Pesach. If the Korban Was Already Offered — Must He Eat It? Case: • Shechitah and Zerikah already done • Father dies afterward Answer: Yes — he must eat it. Why? • Korban Pesach is incomplete without eating. • Without eating → not yotzei at all . Eating is not optional; it completes the mitzvah. Yom Shemuah vs. Yom Kevurah Key clarification: • Yom Shemuah (hearing late) → treated like Likutas Atzamos → dunk in mikveh, eat Korban Pesach • Yom Kevurah → stricter → do not eat Korban Pesach The Gemara carefully re - reads the wording to prove this. Final Resolution of All Contradictions Scenario Eat Korban Pesach? Death before Chatzos No Death after Chatzos Yes Burial only (earlier death) Yes Yom Shemuah / Likutas Atzamos Yes Scenario Eat Korban Pesach? Yom Kevurah (daytime) No Takeaway – Zevachim 100 • Korban Pesach hinges on timing , not emotion. • Chatzos is the halachic turning point. • Aninus before obligation blocks Pesach; after does not. • Eating Korban Pesach is essential , not symbolic. • Mitzvos are defined by Hashem’s will , not personal preference. • Mes Mitzvah overrides everything — even Korban Pesach. לעילוי נשמת אמי מורתי רות בת הרב מנחם מנדל
