Hefsek taharah

The condition also seems counterintuitive.

If a woman does a Hefsek Tahara between one Ketam and the next, this, if anything, should indicate that the Tuk Tamim represent two separate episodes of bleeding, and they should not be considered together just one of the three Ri'odam required to become a Zavag Dola, as the Rambam claims.

We note also that this entire topic has no relevance to halacha, because nowadays we treat any nida as a zava, even a woman who sees just a single ketem, and therefore there is no significance to the question of whether a ketem is equivalent to one ri'i adam or multiple ones.

We end here our discussion of this topic and proceed to halacha yud tet.
