Description

Does a gentile corpse metamei in an ohel? Three different types of ohel for tum'ah. Which ohel hameis does a kohen have to avoid? One cannot bury a tzadik near a rasha. Can a kohen fly on a plane with a corpse? Flying over a cemetery. A kohen can place himself within a breathable nylan bag to prevent himself from becoming tamei. Dead tzadikim are metamei people. Ashkenazim do chalitza instead of yibum, while historically, sephardim do yibum. Who are the nisinim? A kohen cannot live with a gerusha, even if he is not mekadesh her. Chumash:Ki Tisa- Kabalas hatorah during first luchos and second luchos.
