5.1-Makkos Daf 04 A (Middle)

5.1-Makkos Daf 04 A (Middle)*Summary**Rabbi Yehuda Amar Rav:* If a keg of wine fell into the sea, one cannot immerse in that spot. This was said with regard to the Yam Hagadol, or a lake whose waters are relatively still.*A supporting Beraisa:* If a keg of wine fell into the sea,and one immersed in that spot, he remains _tamei_ . If _terumah_ fell in that spot, it becomes _tamei_ (because the wine in that spot became _tamei_ from the person who was trying to immerse).*Question:* Why is the law of _terumah_ mentioned? (It is obvious that if the man is not purified, he remains impure, and the wine becomes impure!)*Answer:* To teach that the man remains _tamei_ , not because of a _chazakah_ of _tumah_ oil. If that were the case, then the _terumah_ should have remained tahor because of a _chazakah_ of _taharah_ . But the rule is that we assume that the wine remained in place._________To learn the with *tosfos:* http://chilp.it/8b3fd8e See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
