Questions addressed in this Shi'ur:
  • Why did Chazal rule that a wooden utensil which is never moved is Tahor?
  • What is the difference between a large wooden utensil (which is not Tamei even mid'Rabanan, and which cannot become a Midras)
    and a flat wooden utensil (which is Tamei mid'Rabanan, and which can become a Midras)?
  • What is the logic behind the rule that flat wooden utensils are Tahor?
  • What is the logic behind the rule that any utensil cannot stop Tum'ah from spreading past it?
  • What is the logic behind the rule that any utensil which can acquire Tum'as Midras, can be made Tamei by a Mes as well?
