Parsha discussion

1. Why is drinking wine equated with issues of טומאה וטהרה? 2. Who was supposed to eat the bulk of the שלמי ציבור? - we only see the requirement for the כהנים to eat their portion 3. Why are the requirements for eating sea creature repeated? 4. What is the inherent distinction between creatures which are טמאים to those we cannot eat (there is not a full overlap)?

1. How do we understand the phrase זאת תורת העולה when the topic then presented is not (directly) related to the עולה? 2. Why is the prohibition of eating קדשים whilst טמא mentioned twice in consecutive פסוקים? 3. Why is the obligation to sacrifice the fats of the breast of the שלמים mentioned here and not in פרשת ויקרא? 4. Why is the command for אהרן and his children to not leave the entrance of the אוהל מועד for the even days of מילואים repeated?

1. 1:2 This verse seems to imply that one can only bring a קרבן from cows, sheep or goats. Yet we see later on that other things can be brought. How do we understand this? 2.  Why are the details of how the קרבנות מנחה are sacrificed separated out? 3. Why are the details (which are all identical with one exception) of the שלמים repeated for the different animal types? 4. What is the inherent difference between a חטאת and an אשם?

1. Why is there no detail of what the זהב was used for, in sharp distinction to כסף & נחשת? 2. Why are the uses of fabrics, wood etc not listed? Just the metals and the fabrics used for the בגדי כהונה (which would have been only a fraction of the overall use) 3. Why is there no record of the  מכנסיים being made? 4. Why do we need to be told specifically that the שולחן was placed outside the פרכת? We know this from previously. Note that this is not mentioned regarding the מנורה or מזבח הזהב
