Description
Wrapping up! Impure creepy-crawlies in the Beit HaMikdash - what's a kohen to do? How is one to remove it? Raising questions on how space is allocated within the Temple itself. Note also R. Kahane's prioritizing kohanim for service in the Temple, even if that priest has some kind of blemish that should invalidate him from doing the service. Plus, the final stretch: if one is outside of techum Shabbat, and Shabbat starts, can one enter the techum? R. Shimon is lenient, and maintains that that leniency is the ideal - that the flexibility is built in, in the relationship between the rabbinic regulations and the Torah laws. This is then connected to the broken harp string. Which brings us to the importance of the loopholes of eruvin, which gets out of carrying, and also prevents carrying!
