One of the subjects our daf addresses is how we can establish a person’s lineage.
How can we be certain that someone is a kohen, for example?
If he regularly eats teruma, does that prove that he is a kohen?
If he does nesi’ut kapayim – blesses the people with birkat kohanim – will that prove that he is a kohen?
And what if we have a shtar – a document signed by witnesses – in which an individual is referred to as a kohen?
Will that document be accepted as proof that he is a kohen?
We explore all manner of items concerning the kohein, duchening and the halachot of non kohein who duchens.
And the reliability of lineage.
