Core Text — Yoma 31b
ופשט ורחץ ולבש — מקיש פשיטה ללבישה: מה לבישה כשהוא לבוש מקדש, אף פשיטה כשהוא לבוש מקדש.

English: “And he shall remove… and wash… and put on…” — the Torah equates removal with donning: just as when he dons the garments he sanctifies (washes hands and feet) while clothed, so too when he removes them he sanctifies while still clothed.

Type of Learning

Hekesh (comparison) between peishitah and levishah.

What Is Learned

Kiddush yadayim v’raglayim is performed while still wearing the garments both when putting them on and when taking them off.
