S.M. asks:
Doesn't Rashi contradict himself when he first defines Korbanos as those of the Tzibbur, and later as those of a Yochid
S.M., Chicago, USA
The Kollel replies:
Dear SM,
The first time (on the word Tziva) Rashi learns public Korbanos because that is most similar to the Miluim (Ritva) and also is based on Tafasta Meruba Lo Tafasta- assume the lesser Chidush.
The second time it is obvious from the continuation of the Gemara that we're speaking about private Korbanos-the Gemara talks about not having a Kavua Z'man- a set time (Rashash) Also, Rashi explains that l'Chaper is written by many private Korbanos. (when Rashi writes private whether it means excluding public or it means private and certainly public is a matter of discussion)
All the best,
