THE DAFYOMI DISCUSSION LIST brought to you by Kollel Iyun Hadaf of Yerushalayim Rosh Kollel: Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE TO DISCUSS THE DAF WITH THE KOLLEL] ________________________________________________________________ Menachos 024: Touching a Midras Barry Epstein asked: The Gemara says that if one made a tamei sheet into a curtain, it is tahor from tumas midras but tamei from touching a midras. Since when can something make itself tamei? Barry Epstein, Dallas, USA ---------------------------------------------- The Kollel replies: The Acharonim discuss whether it actually makes itself Tamei (and thus there may be a problem of Maga Beis ha'Setarim, touching in a hidden, covered place), or whether the more severe Tum'ah contains within it the lesser Tum'ah.
