Pesachim 16 Emptiness is Contagious

Matmonim: Daf Yomi by Rabbi David Lapin - A podcast by Rabbi David Lapin

One dimension of Tumah is a negative energy that attaches itself to places that have been vacated of sanctity that they previously contained. Tumah, as we learn in this daf, is inherently something which is transmitted from one object or person to another. The idea that even the negativity of emptiness can be contagious, is fascinating.
