Stones Of The Leprous House
Must be sent out of town
אל מקום טמא
The Rambam ignores the prescribed location
And everyone agrees
There is no specific מקום טמא
In fact, מקום can’t become טמא
Not in Israel
The Maharal explains
The words of Rashi (14:40):
The exported stones
Create a space which contaminates
Not as an ohel
Rather as a מקום
A new kind of טומאה
Invented by Rashi
Invisible to the Rambam
ר״ת אל מקום טמא = טמא
Shabbos Shalom
