Description

We discussed the argument between Rashi and Tosfos as to why a כהן who is a בעל מום can't do ברכת כהנים. We discussed the approach of R' Soloveitchik regarding the role that the hands of the Kohanim play in the process, and several of the ramifications which emerge including whether or not the Kohanim's hands should be covered by a tallis.
