Laws  
And Innovations  
Tanna d&apos;Bei Eliyahu: Anyone who studies  
Laws every day  
Investigations  
And discussions  
It is guaranteed for him that he is a son of the world to come, etc. (Niddah 76)  
Whoever touches impurity. And for this, the Torah has obligated.  
And it is not said that the Temple was not defiled except by entry  
Regarding the law of impurity of the Temple and its holy things  
It is a matter of the essence of the dead  
In what he himself is impure, such as one who touches a dead body.  
Rabbi Michael Eliezer Cohen Forshlager, this one defiles the Temple by entering it, not the dead  
Baruch Abraham Moshe and his mother’s name Bluma  
Baltimore, MD.  
One who is not impure in himself, the Torah did not reveal  
That he would defile the Temple by entering it, but rather  
Here in the Light, I saw a teaching from the great genius that one who touches a dead body will defile, it cannot be said so, but the reason  
Rabbi Avraham Zev, beloved of all God-fearing people, may he live,  
And it is wondrous in my eyes the contradictions that according to his opinion  
Even though the dead body itself is not impure, anything  
That became impure from another impurity also becomes impure from the impurity  
Of the minor scroll of laws, it was also brought in the Yalkut, that the  
Dead body itself is not impure and the one who touches it is impure, and he innovated  
A dead body and even more so in the more severe impurity from another impurity, yes, in the impurity of the Temple, as it is defiled from impurities  
That it is permitted to delay or to bring a dead body into the Temple  
From the Torah, if the one who brings himself into the Temple does not come  
Because the dead is not impure, etc. And I do not understand this, that the matter  
Of the one who brings the impurity, what is forbidden and I am liable for it  
For defiling the Temple as it is said in the verse  
The Temple, the dwelling place, the Lord is impure, etc. And therefore it is said  
As the dead body itself is not impure but the one who touches  
Another impurity by his entry, so too he becomes impure in the dead  
Body itself by his entry, just as the one who touches a dead body  
Is not impure, what became impure from another impurity  
Such as one who touches, is also impure from touching a dead body, and even more  
As it is said, and we say that this is the law regarding the dead.  
Even  
An urgent call  
Either the subject or the one who shelters him is impure, so said to all our readers, the rabbis, the geniuses, and the rabbis  
The Torah, as one who touches a dead body becomes impure, so too the Temple becomes impure  
When the dead is within it, and just as the dead defiles  
The one who touches it even though he himself is pure, so does it defile  
The esteemed ones, may they live  
With confidence in their love for the Torah and its learners, and from this  
-  
Their desire for the fulfillment of the Light and its precise appearance, when  
The Temple becomes impure by entering it, even though he himself is  
Not impure, for we see that the main concern of the Torah is whether for all time or part of it. Their honor allows us  
In bringing impurity into the Temple that it should not defile it in this continuation of the publication of the monthly that its material condition is tight  
The Temple of the Lord, that the Temple became impure by bringing impurity very much, and they fulfill a great commandment of strengthening the Torah study of the public.  
Therefore, just as one who touches a dead body becomes impure, so too  
The Temple becomes impure when the dead is within it, just as it becomes impure  
And for the merit of studying the Torah, may all of Israel merit life  
And peace and a near redemption, amen.

תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה
הלכות בכל יום

מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא וכו&apos; (נדה עג)
מי שנוגע בטומאה. ועל זה חייבה התורה.
ולא נאמר דהמקדש לא נטמא אלא בכניסה
בדין טומאת מקדש וקדשיו
שו״ט בנדון עצמיות המת
בו במה שטמא בעצמו, כגון הנוגע במת.
הרב מיכאל אליעזר הכהן פאָרשלעגער זה מטמא את המקדש בכניסה בו, לא המת
ב״ר אברהם משה ושם אמו בלומא
בלטימור, מד.
עצמו שאינו טמא בעצמו, לא גילתה התו־
רה שיטמא המקדש בכניסתו בו אלא דוקא
הנה בהמאור ראיתי ד״ת מהגאון האדיר הנוגע במת יטמא, אין לומר כן, אלא הסבי
מוהרא״ז, אהוב כל יראי שמים שליט״א,
ולפלא בעיני הטרוטות מה שכ״ש דלפי״ד
רא דאף דהמת עצמו אינו טמא, כל דבר
שנטמא מטומאה אחרת נטמא נמי בטומאת
הספרי זוטא חוקת, הובא נמי בילקוט, שמת
עצמו אינו טמא והנוגע בו טמא, וחידש
מת ועוד יותר בטומאה היותר חמורה מטומאה
אחרת כן בטומאת מקדש כמו דנטמא מטומי
דמותר להשהות או להכניס מת במקדש
מדאוריי&apos;, אם לא בא המכניס עצמו למקדש
כי המת לא טמא וכו&apos;. ואיני מבין זה, דענין
המכניס הטומאה מה שאסור וחייב עליי הוא
על שמטמא את המקדש כמו שנאמר בקרא
את מקדש, משכן, ד&apos; טמא וגו&apos;. ולהכי נאמר
כמו שהמת עצמו אינו טמא אלא הנוגע
אה אחרת בכניסתו כן נמי נטמא במת
עצמו בכניסתו כמו דנטמא הנוגע במת
רהוא
עצמו אינו טמא, מה שנטמא בטומאה אחרת
כגון נוגע נטמא נמי נוגע במת ועוד יותר
דמ״ש, ואמרינן דזה הדין במת.
, דאף
קריאה דחופה
או הנושא או המאהיל עליו טמא, כן אמרה לכל קוראינו הרבנים הגאונים והרבנים
תורה כמו שמי שנוגע במת נטמא כן נטמא
המקדש שהמת בתוכו, וכמו שהמת מטמא
הנוגע בו אף שהוא עצמו טהור, כן מטמא
הנכבדים שליט״א
בבטחה באהבתם לתורה ולומדי&apos; ומתוך כך
-
ברצונם בקיום המאור ובהופעתו המדוייקת, מתי
את המקדש בכניסתו בו, אף שהוא עצמו בקשים כ״מ להמציא לנו מיד את דמי חתימתם,
אינו טמא, דהא חזינן דעיקר הקפדת התורה אם בעד כל הזמן או חלקו. כבודם מאפשרים לנו
בהכנסת טומאה למקדש שלא יטמא את בזה המשכת הוצאת הירחון שמצבו החמרי דחוק
מקדש ד&apos;, דהמקדש נטמא בהכנסת טומאה מאוד, ומקיימים מצוה רבה של חיזוק ת״ת דרבים.
בו, א״כ כמו דנטמא מי שנוגע במת, כן ובזכות לימוד התורה יזכו כל בית ישראל לחיים
נטמא המקדש שהמת בתוכו כמו דנטמא ולשלום ולגאולה קרובה ב״ב
