28 Adar (Vayikra)
Rashi on 4,17 says the reason just says "paroches" (curtain) not "paroches hakodesh" (holy paroches) like it does in passuk 6 is because over here we're dealing with when the entire community sinned. And its a mashal to a king who if all his subjects rebel he's not really a ruler but if only some of them rebel he's still a ruler. So too by the beis hamikdash, if everyone rebels than Hashem's ruler ship on the world goes down and the Beis Hamikdash isn't called holy anymore, but when just the kohen gadol sins it is still holy. Why are we calling it that everyone rebels? The passuk is dealing with when Beis Din makes a mistake and says that something assur is actually fine. If so, that's not a rebellion. Everyone still feels subservient to Hashem so his malchus is still intact. If so the beis hamikdash should remain in its original kedusha, and we should still be able to call the paroches the "paroches hakodesh"?
