*28.1 Makkos Daf 18 B (24 lines Dn)**Summary*_In 26.3 we learned a difference of opinion regarding what permits the kohen to eat bikkurim, reading the parsha or placing it in the beis hamikdash._*Rabbi Elazar quoting Rabbi Hoshaya: Placing the _bikkurim_* in the _beis hamikdash_ permits it for the kohen’s consumption, *not reading the _parsha._*_[The parsha of bikkurim which mentions “simcha” can only be read until Sukkos.]_*Challenge: Rabbi Elazar quoting Rabbi Hoshaya:* “If one separated _bikkurim_ but neglected to bring it until after Sukkos, *it cannot be eaten.”*It seems that the *reading of the parsha is a requirement,* and since in this case it cannot be read, it cannot be eaten.*Resolution:* Up until Sukkos, when it is *possible* to read the parsha, the _bikkurim_ may be eaten without reading. But after Sukkos *when it cannot be read, it cannot be eaten.**In keeping with Rabbi Zeira’s principle.**Rabbi Zeira:* Any mincha that is *capable* of being mixed, need not be mixed. *But if it cannot be mixed, it is not kosher.* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
