IN HONOR OF THE REBBE’S FATHER’S BIRTHDAY – 18 NISSAN SHMINI
If any of these dead creatures falls upon anything, it will also become ritually defiled, whether the object be any wooden vessel, garment, hide, or sack – in fact, any implement with which work is done. It must be immersed in the water of a mikveh, and will remain ritually defiled until nightfall, after which it will be rid of this defilement.
11:32
Gemara (Chagiga 26b) *any large, wooden vessel designated to rest in a fixed place cannot become
impure. What is the reason for this halakha
Since wooden vessels and sacks are juxtaposed in the verse
describing their impurity (Leviticus 11:32)
we require a wooden vessel to be similar to a sack in order to be capable
Of contracting impurity, in the
following manner: Just
as a sack is carried when it is both full and empty, so too any wooden vessel that is carried full and empty can
Contact impurity.
Questions
A) Why do we learn we learnt the law from a sack?
B) What is meaning of full & Empty?
