Description

Are there exceptions when one does not bring an eglah arufa? Does one follow rov or karov? When does one say efshar letzamtzeim? Was Jerusalem divided among the tribes? How is the international date line determined? Jerusalem has a special status in regards to ten laws. Where does one kill the eglah arufa? A rasha is burried separately, but can be exhumed and reburried after one year. A meis mitzvah aquires the ground for burial. What determines death- heart, resperation, brain activity? Should one delay a burial for three days to confirm that a person is indeed dead? Can one place tefilin on a paralyzed arm? Chumas-Acharei Mot: What is the correct way to count the omer- eg. one and twenty days or twenty and one days?
