Keritot
open-in-new
<p> Keritot is a tractate of the <a href="/facts/Mishnah/nf6aBsjL">Mishnah</a> and <a href="/facts/Babylonian_Talmud/8416nnBV">Babylonian Talmud</a>. It is the seventh tractate in the Order of <a href="/facts/Kodashim/rj0YL9Xf">Kodashim</a>. Its name is the plural of the punishment <a href="/facts/Kareth/sfgDYtBC">kareth</a> which the Torah specifies for intentional violation of certain sins; unintentional violation of the same sins obligates one to bring a sin-offering instead. </p>
