THE DAFYOMI DISCUSSION LIST brought to you by Kollel Iyun Hadaf of Yerushalayim Rosh Kollel: Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld d...@dafyomi.co.il [REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE TO DISCUSS THE DAF WITH THE KOLLEL] ________________________________________________________________ General: Yachid v'Rabim Yehudit Epstein asked: >>What are the subjects connected to these two concepts: Yachid v'rabim halacha k'rabim and Maalin bakodesh v'eyn moreedin? (No relation to the Maseches listed)<< The Kollel replied: >>I am not exactly sure what you mean by "what subjects" are >>connected to these topics. Yachid v' Rabim appears twenty one places in Talmud Bavli, and always involves how we rule Halachic arguments. When it is absolute and when there are exceptions to the rule is not something that can be dealt with in this forum. Ma'alin b'Kodesh appears seven places in Talmud Bavli, but many more times in the Halachic works throughout the generations. The subjects dealt with in the Gemara include giving a person a lower status (see Berachos 28a, Horayos 12b), a reason for the way we light Chanukah candles (Shabbos 21b), and more.<< --- Mrs. Epstein asks further: Thank you for your response. I knew about the Chanuka citation. Would you please end me one more besides that one and the one about giving a person a lower status? Todah rabah, Mrs. Epstein The Kollel replies: See Yoma (20b) and Megilah (21b). The other two sources are quotes from the Gemaros quoted above. All the best, Yaakov Montrose _______________________________________________ Daf-discuss mailing list Daf-discuss@shemayisrael.co.il http://shemayisrael.co.il/mailman/listinfo/daf-discuss_shemayisrael.co.il
