1)
(a)Following the Sa'ir la'Az'azel's arrived in the desert the Kohen Gadol - cvame to read the Parshah of the day (See Tos. Yom-Tov) ...
(b)... wearing either the 'Bigdei Butz' or a white garment of his own.
(c)'Bigdei Butz' means - the four white linen garments with which he performed the Avodah of the Par and Sa'ir.
(d)He was allowed to wear his own clothes - because K'ri'as ha'Torah was not an Avodah.
(e)He was nvertheless given the option of wearning the Bigdei Butz - since the Kohanim were permitted to wear the Bigdei Kehunah even when they were not performing the Avodah.
2)
(a)The Chazan ha'Keneses took the Seifer-Torah. Who was the Chazan ha'Keneses?
(b)He handed it to the Rosh ha'Keneses who handed it to the S'gan (deputy Kohen Gadol). Who was the 'Rosh ha'Keneses'?

(c)The S'gan - handed the Seifer Torah to the Kohen Gadol.
(d)All this was necessary - in honor of the Kohen Gadol (See Tos. Yom-Tov), to demonstrate how many people served under him.

(b)How does that determine the location where the Kohen Gadol read?
(c)Who was the only person permitted to sit in the Azarah?
3)
(a)From the Mishnah's statement that the Kohen Gadol received the Seifer Torah standing, we can extrapolate - that until now, he may have been sitting (See Tos. Yom-Tov) ...
(b)... in which case, this must have all taken placfe in the Ezras Nashim, seeing as it was forbidden to sit in the Azarah ...
(c)... with the sole exception of the King of Yehudah.

(b)On what basis was he permitted to roll the Seifer-Torah from Acharei-Mos to Emor?
(c)Why would it otherwise be forbidden to do so?
4)
(a)Besides the current Parshah in Acharei-Mos, the Kohen Gadol then read - the Parshah of Yom Kipur in Parshas Emor.
(b)He was permitted to roll the Seifer-Torah from Acharei-Mos to Emor - seeing as it is close enough to finish rolling before the 'Meturgeman' (the translator) finished translating the previous piece.
(c)It would otherwise be forbidden to do so - because it is not Kavod ha'Tzibur to keep everybody waiting whilst the rolling takes place.

(d)Why did he read it by heart?
(e)Why did he not read from a second Seifer?
5)
(a)After rolling the Seifer-Torah shut and placing it in his bosom, the Kohen Gadol announced - that more than the Seifer-Torah contained more than what he had just read ...
(b)... so that the people should not suspect that now continued to read by heart because it was missing from the Seifer-Torah.
(c)He then read Maftir from Chomesh ha'Pekudim - (Bamidbar [See Tos. Yom-Tov] i.e. from Parshas Pinchas) by heart.
(d)He read it by heart - because the distance between Emor and Pinchas would not allow him to finish rolling before the Meturgeman could finish rolling.
(e)He did not read from a second Seifer - to avoid people from thinking that he did so because Maftir was missing from the first Seifer.
6)
(a)How many B'rachos did the Kohen Gadol then proceed to recite (besides the regular B'rachah before and after Leining)?

(b)The first three of these B'rachos were 'al Mechilas ha'Avon (S'lach Lanu) al ha'Avodah ve'al ha'Hoda'ah'. The B'rachah of ...
1. ... 'al ha'Avodah' is - that of 'Retzei'.
2. ... 'al ha'Hoda'ah' is - 'Modim'.
(c)The next two B'rachos comprise 'al ha'Mikdash' & 'al ha'Kohanim'. The gist of the B'rachah ...
1. ...'al ha'Mikdash' (Se Pirush ha'Mishnayos le'ha'Rambam and Tos. Yom-Tov) was - for the Shechinah to rest there -
2. ... 'al ha'Kohanim' was - that the Kohanim should be blessed and that their Korbanos should be accepted.

(b)If there was no prohibition against doing so, why was it not possible?
(c)Based on which principle might one have thought that it is prohibited?
(d)Which Mitzvah does this refer to?
(e)Then why isn't it?
7)
(a)If one was...
1. ... listening to the Kohen Gadol reading the Parshah - one could not see the burning of the Par and the Sa'ir.
2. ... watching the burning of the Par and the Sa'ir - one could not listen to the Kohen Gadol reading the Parshah ...
(b)... not because there was any prohibition against doing so, but because - they were performed simultaneously (See Tos. Yom-Tov) in locations that were distant from one another.
(c)One might have thought that it is prohibited - based on the principle 'Ein Ma'avirin al'ha'Mitzvos' (it is forbidden to pass by a Mitzvah) ...
(d)The Mitzvah in this case is that of 'be'Rov Am Hadras Melech' (to honor Hash-m by enlarging the crowd).
(e)It isn't - because 'Ein Ma'avirin al'ha'Mitzvos' applies to the performing of Mitzvos, not to watching them being performed.

(c)Rebbi Akiva maintains that the Korban Musaf - was brought together with the Tamid shel Shachar.
(d)And he learns this from the Pasuk in Pinchas (in connection with the Korban Musaf) "Mil'vad Olas ha'Boker asher le'Olas ha'Tamid - which teaches us that the latter immediately followed the former (See Tos. Yom-Tov DH 'Im Tamid ... ').
(e)He nevertheless brought the goat of the Musaf after the Tamid shel bein ha'Arbayim, since the Pasuk there "Mil'vad Chatas ha'Kipurim" teaches us - that the Sa'ir ha'Penimi precedes it.
