Episode notes
Follow Ritual Differences Between Oilah And Chatas
- For offerings, follow the specific rituals: oilah is done above the red line and chatas below it with different procedures.
- Remove the head for oilah, perform mitzui and sprinkling rules as described to keep the korban valid.
Bird Avodot Center On Two Critical Acts
- Only two actions matter for bird offerings: melika (slaughter) and mitzu (blood squeezing) as the core avodot.
- If intention changes during these steps, the status may render the korban pasul or require another offering.
Pigol Requires A Pure Intent To Be Valid
- Pigol (pigul) arises from a specific thought during core avodot to use the offering outside its allotted time.
- That thought must be pure pigol; adding location or other details cancels pigol.
