This week, the gemara will establish through verses that blood is not subject to me’ilah, tumah, or notar, and they discuss how much one kohen’s invalidating thought can affect another kohen’s act. The Gemara then develops the halacha that certain korbanot must be slaughtered in the north of the Azarah (first olah, then chatat + asham) and examine whether we are allowed to learn that rule for other offerings through hekesh.

This week we will learn about the blood placement on the altar and in what context all the placements are essential and when only some are essential. The Gemara teaches that some parts of the sacrifice aren’t affected by pigul intent and some can’t create a pigul sacrifice.

Rabbi Saadia Gaon’s sefer Emunot V’Deot (Book of Beliefs and Opinions) innovated the genre of Jewish philosophy. Long before Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam, R. Saadia paved the road for viewing Jewish principles through a lens of classic Greek philosophy, the science of his time, and is justifiably where Jewish philosophy begins. Join Rabbi Daniel Korobkin as he explores this important, monumental work, tracing the differences in approach between R. Saadia and those who came after him.

This week we will continue analyzing pigul, teaching that it applies only when the improper intent occurs during an essential act of the same korban, with valid blood, and without interruption—excluding cases of partial intent, mixed korbanot, or improper slaughter order—and concluding that pigul entails karet only when the sacrifice would otherwise permit eating. We will then learn about the placement of blood on the alter: which offerings require applications “above” or “below” the red line on the altar and how sprinkling on the wrong half or side affects validity.

We will identify which unfit priests and improper intentions invalidate the avodah, distinguishing shelo lishmah (wrong type) from pigul (intending to eat outside its time). The Gemara will define the laws of pigul: it applies only when a fit kohen performs all services with a clear “wrong time” intent, and cannot combine with other disqualifying thoughts or across multiple priests.

This week we will detail which disqualifications (pesulei avodah – disqualifications of the sacrificial service) invalidate the Temple service—such as a zar (non-kohen), tamei (ritually impure), onen (a mourner on the day of burial), tevul-yom (one who immersed in a mikveh that day but must wait until nightfall), mechusar begadim (lacking the proper priestly garments), or sh’tuyei yayin (a kohen who drank wine)—deriving each from verses and showing how they apply in the Mikdash but not on a bamah (private altar). The Gemara further clarifies laws of priestly garments (too few, extra, torn, or soiled), belt placement, and chatzitzah (a barrier between the garments and the body), and then transitions to the requirement of kidush yadayim v’raglayim (sanctifying the hands and feet with water), including whether it lapses overnight and the mechanics of the kiyor (laver).

This week we will learn that certain sacrifices (notably chatat and pesach) are invalid if offered shelo lishman (not for its own sake), deriving this from scriptural links to shelamim and exploring when a Pesach defaults to a shelamim. The Gemara then probes whether improper intent in one avodah (service) (e.g., shechita) for another avodah (e.g., zerikah) disqualifies, and analyzes the principles of dichuy (permanent rejection of a korban).

This week we will discuss the liability of the Sanhedrin and the community when an erroneous ruling is issued, focusing on whether communal or individual offerings are required. The sugyot analyze the roles of individuals, the king, and the High Priest in such cases, clarifying when they bring special offerings and how their status affects responsibility.

Celebrating Rabbi Ebner's Life and Torah (September 14, 2026)Convened by Talmidei Yeshivat Hamivtar and WebYeshiva.org. Speakers: R. Jeffrey Saks, R. Chaim Brovender, R. Yitzchak Blau, R. Todd Berman, and Mrs. Shulamith Teitz Ebner, with remembrances from talmidim from throughout the decades.
As Masechet Horayot comes to a close join Rabbi Johnny Solomon as he hosts Rabbi Dr. Gidon Rothstein and Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz, WebYeshiva’s Daf Yomi teachers, for personal reflections on teaching Seder Nezikim.
Masechet Horayot deals with the laws of unintentionally performed sins—based on errant rulings by leading authorities and actions of entire communities—and the types of sin-offerings (korbanot) required as atonement. Chapter 2 begins by focusing on the anointed priest (Kohen HaGadol) and the Nasi (king), exploring when and what offerings they bring if they err in judgment and they follow their mistaken rulings.
