<DIV>As far as I know a Seffer Torah will makes hands "Sheni Le'Tumah" (Secondary Impurity).<BR>Does it mean that the Seffer Torah itself is Rishon Le'Tumaha? (First Impurity)</DIV>
<DIV>Is it Tamme at all?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also,<BR>Temme Meth ("Mes" - as Ashkenazim pronouce) is Av Tumah. Does it means that Meth (dead person) is Tamme?</DIV>
<DIV>or Meth is only Metamme? </DIV>
<DIV>Is the fact that Meth is Avi Avot Hatuma, make it also Tamme itself? or it is only Metamme but not Tamme?<BR>I read somewhere that a Meth is not (the son of the Shunamit was Tahor when he woke up of his death).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
