TIME FOR THE TAMID

1) 'עלה ברק השחר', כנם הצופה -

At what stage of dawn could the Korban Tamid begin? What did the lookout call out when he spotted it?

2) עלה ברק השחר... טבל -

Why does Kohen Gadol wait for dawn before beginning his first Tevilah and Kidush Yadayim? (He could immerse beforehand, and be ready for the Tamid at the earliest time!)

1ST IMMERSION AND SANCTIFICATION

3) טבל, ועט זהבים -

Must the Kohen Gadol's first Tevilah, prior to the day's Avodah, take place in a sanctified area? Is this Tevilah a mid'Oraisa requirement?

1. Insights to Yoma 32:2

2. Yosef Da'as to Yoma 30:p2, ד"ה חמש טבילות, til p3

4) עמד וקדש -

Was this initial Kidush Yadayim v'Raglayim, prior to the day's Avodah, performed at the Kiyor as usual? See "Atah Konanta" -

THE MORNING TAMID

5) וְקֵרַץ תְּמִיד הַשַּׁחַר. פִּקֵּד לְמָרְקוֹ, וְהוּא קִבֵּל -

Why was the Shechitah of the Tamid carried out by two people? Must the second person be a Kohen? Was this a departure from the requirements of the Tamid throughout the year?

6) פִּקֵּד לְמָרְקוֹ -

When someone else takes over the Shechitah, is it considered part of the Shechitah or not? Can he invalidate the Shechitah at that point (e.g., by Shehiyah - pausing)?

7) הקטיר והטיב... -

In what order were the daily Avodos at the Menorah and the Mizbe'ach ha'Ketores performed? See above -

8) הקריב ונסך -

What is the proper order for the daily Menachos and Nesachim? According to which view are some of the Korbenos Musaf offered at this point? When Yom Kippur falls on Shabbos, when are its Korbanos offered? See "Atah Konanta" -

9) פעלת כליל השלים ועשׂ כסדר -

Is it a Torah requirement that even the Korban Tamid, which is not specific to the Yom Kippur service, be performed by the Kohen Gadol himself?

2ND IMMERSION AND SANCTIFICATIONS

10) פרוה בקדש, שם קדש... וטבל -

How did the roof of the Parvah chamber (where the Kohen Gadol's Mikvah was located) possess the sanctity of the Azarah? The Gemara in Pesachim (86a) teaches that the roofs above the Azarah were not sanctified!

11) Parvah -

Who was Parvah, and why was a chamber in the Mikdash named for him?

12) קדש ופשט, פסע וטבל, לבנים עט וקדש -

What are the views as to exactly when Kidush Yadayim v'Raglayim was performed, before and after each Tevilah? Was the first Kidush, prior to the Tevilah, for taking off the current garments or in preparation for donning the next ones?

13) Omission -

If the Kohen Gadol omitted a Kidush Yadayim v'Raglayim upon changing clothing, does it invalidate the Avodah?

THE WHITE GARMENTS

What are "Pelusim" garments? Where does the Torah allude to their required value?

15) -

May the Kohen Gadol contribute and add to the value of the white garments, if he wishes? Must the morning garments be more valuable than the afternoon ones?

1ST CONFESSION

16) פָּרוֹ מֻצָּב בֵּין אוּלָם לַמִּזְבֵּחַ -

According to this Piyut, "Amitz Koach," where was the bull positioned for the Viduy (and later, Shechitah)? Do all opinions validate this location for the Shechitah of a Chatas? What does the author of the Piyut seem to hold about the position of the Altar within the Courtyard?

17) פניו ימה וראשו נגבה, מעקם -

Why was the bull set up in this particular stance, facing south and west?

18) פגש וסמך ידו על ראשו; פשעיו הודה -

What is the proper way to perform Semichah? Was the Semichah performed during the Viduy, or prior to it?

19) וכך היה אומר: אנא השם -

Why do we use the term "Hashem" (lit. "The Name"), rather than the Name that we usually use in prayer (meaning "Master of All")? If we do so to indicate that the Kohen Gadol used the Shem ha'Meforash, we should use the term "Hashem" at the conclusion of this paragraph as well!

1. Yosef Da'as to Yoma 35:p3, ד"ה וכך היה אומר, ד"ה כבר כתבו

2. Insights to Yoma 62:2

20) אני וביתי -

What members of the Kohen Gadol's household are included by the first Viduy?

1. Yosef Da'as to Yoma 43:p3, ד"ה מאי שנא

21) אנא בשם, כפר נא -

Why is the first mention of Hashem's name in the Viduy, "Ana, Hashem (Please - The Name!)," whereas the second comes with the prefix Beis, "Ana, BaShem (Please, by The Name)"?

1. Yosef Da'as to Yoma 35:p3, ד"ה ועוד נראה, til p4

22) מכל חטאתיכם -

Is the atonement of Yom Kippur limited to "Chata'im" - un-intentional sins?

23) לפני ה' - -

Why, in our recitation of the Kohen's Viduy, do we pause here before completing the Pasuk (with the word "Titharu")? There is no indication that the Kohen Gadol made such a pause after reciting the Name.

THE PEOPLE BOW DOWN

24) והכהנים והעם... היו כורעים ומשתחוים ומודים -

Does this paragraph, describing how the people bowed upon hearing Hashem's Name, appear in the Mishnah in Yoma (as does the text of the Viduy in the preceding paragraph)? If so, with which of the three Viduyim does it appear? Might this indicate when the people bowed - and for what reason?

25) כשהיו שומעים את השם... מְפֹרָשׁ יוצא מפי כהן גדול -

What is the "Shem ha'Meforash" that the Kohen Gadol used on Yom Kippur?

26) היו כורעים ומשתחוים ומודים -

When the people bowed down in the Beis Hamikdash, there was miraculously plenty of room (Avos 5:5). On which occasions did this miracle occur, and why?

Why in this instance did the people bow upon hearing Hashem's Name, whereas in Tefilah we straighten and stand up at the Name?

28) ונופלים על פניהם, ואומרים "ברוך שם..." -

According to the Yerushalmi, did they bow as well as respond "Baruch Shem"?

LOTTERY ON 2 GOATS

29) צעד לילך לו למזרח עזרה -

This Piyut does not specify what the Mishnah states (37a) - that the lottery's location was north of the Altar. Why might this be?

30) צמד שעירים שם -

What does the pair of goats represent?

31) צְמוּדִים אֲחוּיִם, שָׁוִים -

Why must the two goats be identical, and what does this symbolize?

What does the word "Taraf" mean?

35) והגריל לשם גבוה ולצוק -

Why must a lottery be used to determine which goat will be used as a Korban? What is the lesson of the Goral?

36) צעק בקול רם 'ל-ה' חטאת' -

Is it the lottery, or the verbal declaration, that determines which goat will be the Chatas? Is it theoretically possible to annul the results of the lottery?

37) ל-ה' חטאת -

Did the Kohen Gadol use the Shem ha'Meforash for this declaration? In our recitation, do we use the term "Hashem," as we did above for the Viduy, or do we use the Name "Adon-y" as usual during prayer or when citing a Pasuk?

1. Yosef Da'as to Yoma 35:p3, ד"ה וכך היה אומר, כבר כתבו

38) צוֹתְתָיו עָנוּ לוֹ, וּבֵרְכוּ אֶת הַשֵּׁם -

Did the people react immediately with "Baruch Shem...", or did they wait for the Kohen to finish saying the Name before responding? What source do we find in the Torah?

39) צֶבַע זְהוֹרִית קָשַׁר בְּרֹאשׁ הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ -

What is a "Lashon Shel Zehoris"? What does it symbolize?

40) -

What is required weight of the ribbon, and what does this represent? See "Atah Konanta" -

41) קָשַׁר בְּרֹאשׁ הַמִּשְׁתַּלֵּחַ -

Do we cause the Sa'ir la'Azazel to carry the ribbon outside on Yom Kippur?

2ND CONFESSION

42) אני וביתי ובני אהרן עם קדושך -

How is it derived that this second Viduy comes on behalf of the Kohanim as well? What opinion maintains that even the previous Viduy mentions the Kohanim?

43) -

Why does the Kohen Gadol again mention his own sins, which he already confessed in the first Viduy? And if it is proper to do so, why does he not mention his own sins yet again in the third Viduy (over the Sa'ir la'Azazel)?

1. Yosef Da'as to Yoma 41:p3, ד"ה אני וביתי
