Episode Details

On the anointing of kings... and the anointed kohen - how was the anointing done? A crown and a letter X (in Greek, however). Also, good omens, including when/where to schedule the coronation of a king - in this case, specifically, King Solomon. Including discussion of the idea of using omens to begin with - is this akin to the prohibited divination or simply symbolic wishes or prayers? Plus, the special foods that are symbolic for the new year - eaten on Rosh Hashanah. Also, more on the way the anointed kohen would function, and then including the kohen anointed in battle (not to be confused with the regular kohen gadol in the Beit HaMikdash in peacetime). Plus, another 2 new mishnayot! On how the kohen offers the karbanot when he's in mourning, without eating from them, and followed by the common practice taking precedence -- where both the halakhic principle and the example of it are included in the mishnah.
