Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Yoma 32a
אשר לבש — מה ת"ל אשר לבש? וכי כלום אדם פושט מה שלא לבש? אלא להקיש פשיטה ללבישה: מה לבישה טעון קידוש, אף פשיטה טעון קידוש.

English: “Which he put on” — Why state “which he put on”? Does a person remove something he did not put on? Rather, to equate removal with donning: just as donning requires sanctification, so does removal.

Type of Learning

Hekesh via superfluous phrase.

What Is Learned

The phrase “which he put on” is not mere description; it equates the act of removing the garments with the act of putting them on so that both require kiddush yadayim v’raglayim.
