Episode notes
Live Props Demonstrate Blood Mixing
- R’ Eli Stefansky used physical props (mezbeach models and a drain) to demonstrate how inside and outside sacrificial blood mix and are handled.
- He showed a cup with mixed blood and explained the practical consequence: pour out the mixture if outside-first occurred.
Order And Intent Change Validity
- The Mishnah's core dispute hinges on whether bringing outside blood into the heichal automatically invalidates it.
- R’ Eli frames the debate: Rabbi Akiva says posel upon entry, while Chachamim allow validity depending on order and intent.
Do The Inner Service First
- Prioritize applying a mitzvah inside (p'nim) before outside when both are required.
- R’ Eli advises: do the more significant inner service first, then the outer one.
