<marty.bluke@gmail.com><BR><BR>>>Recently I learned Pesachim 64b
(daf yomi) where the Gemara states that<BR>King Agrippas wanted to take a census
so he had the Cohanim count the<BR>number of Korban Pesachs that were brought
and it came out to 1.2 million<BR>korbanos, 12 million people (10 to a
korban)....<BR><BR><BR>1. The Korban Pesach is only brought in the afternoon of
the 14th of Nisan<BR>...That means that they had to sacrifice over 340,000
korbanos an hour, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2
face=Arial>over 5700 a minute and over 95 a second. ...<BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2
face=Arial>2. How could they possibly fit all of the people and animals in the
Azara?<BR>...The Beis Hamikdash was simply not that big...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2
face=Arial><BR>....given the dimensions of the Mishkan and the<BR>Beis Hamikdash
and the number of people, how did everyone ever bring a<BR>korban pesach? The
numbers just don't work. ...</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I asked my brother, R' Shabsi Bulman, that question, and here is his
reply:</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"EVEN IF ONLY ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE OLEH LAREGEL THE LOGISTICS
OF THEIR STAY WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. (ASK ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO A MAJOR
LEVAYA.) IT IS OVERWHELMINGLY CLEAR THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT ALIYA LAREGEL IS
MAASEH NISSIM FROM BEGINNING TO END. GMAR CHASIMA TOVA."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>That is similar to what REMT wrote here on Avodah: "it is still
impossible without nissim."</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My brother also wrote:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>"ACTUALLY IT IS NOT MY IDEA AT ALL. BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT RECALL WHERE
I SAW IT, MANY YEARS AGO."</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>So there's a source that it was all nissim. Now we just have to find
that source.....</DIV>
