Yaacov Michelson asks:
I'm confused on the difference between Nosar and Lina. Can you clarify this for me?

The Kollel replies:
Shalom Rav,
Someone who brings a Shelamim (a peace-offering) is permitted to eat the bulk of the animal, while some parts of the Korban (the Chalavim (fats), etc.) are offered by the Kohanim on the
Mizbe'ach.
Of the parts that are eaten, whatever is not eaten until the morning is called "Nosar" (literally, "leftover" without being eaten).
Of the parts that are offered on the Mizbe'ach, whatever the Kohanim did not bring up onto the Mizbe'ach by the morning is disqualified with the Pesul called "Linah" (literally, "sleeping" overnight without being offered).
B'Virchas Kol Tuv,
Eliezer Chrysler
