Barry Epstein asked:
The gemara on 40a says that if a woman delivers a baby by Caesarian section she does not get childbirth tumah. Is her bleeding tahor?
Barry Epstein, Dallas, USA
The Kollel replies:
There is an argument between Rebbi Shimon and the Rabanan (41b) whether or not the blood which is present in a Caesarian section birth makes the person who touches it Tamei (see Rashi ibid., DH "Rabanan Savri").
All the best,
Yaakov Montrose
