	Kohen
		A Bat Kohen is the daughter of a Kohen.
		The Talmudic understanding of the word 'harlot' also encompasses the meaning "proselyte" (convert) and this suggests that maidens of that time, not born of Jewish parents, were barred from marrying priests because of the low standards of morality prevalent among the non-Jewish peoples of the period.
		One view holds that a Bat Kohen may participate in Nesiat Kapayim, another view holds that a Bat Kohen is not permitted to participate in Nesiat Kapayim because as a continuation of a Temple ritual, the Priestly Benediction should be performed by those who were authentically eligible to do so in the Temple.

		A kohen (or cohen, Hebrew כּהן, "priest", pl. כּהנִים, kohanim or cohanim), is a direct male descendant of the Biblical Aaron, brother of Moses.
		The status of kohen was first conferred on Aaron, the brother of Moses, and his direct male descendants, by God (Exodus 28:1, 2–4) as an "everlasting office".
		A Kohen is necessary to perform the life-cycle ritual known as the Pidyon Haben, the symbolic redemption of the first-born for first-born Jewish sons.

	Kohen
		In both the Tabernacle in the desert and later in the Temple in Jerusalem, it was the Kohanim and the Levi’im—the Kohens and the Levis—who ministered to the people and performed all the rituals associated with early Jewish worship.
		A Kohen, or priest, was someone descended from one Levi in particular, Moses’; brother Aaron.
		While the first two aliyot to the Torah were to be reserved for a Kohen and Levi, the remaining aliyot each Shabbat and weekday were to be for Yisrael, the composite collection of all the other tribes, to which the vast majority of Israelites belonged.

	The Kohen
		In Jewish mystical tradition, the positioning of the Kohen's hands during the blessing is as important as the words themselves.
		The fingers of the Kohen are actually aligned in such a way as to represent God's ineffable name.
		Today, the Rabbi is responsible for this aspect of the Kohen, bringing God's blessing down upon his or her congregants during major life cycle events and during special services - or for any reason they see fit.

	Weekly-Halacha, Parshas Bamidbar, 5759 - Torah.org
		The reason why a kohen may be mochel his honor is based on the Rabbinic dictum(6) that "one honors a man by doing his will." Since the kohen wants to bestow upon someone else the honor due him, that, in turn, becomes his honor(7).
		If a kohen receives payment or if he is serving a distinguished person and derives pleasure from serving him, it is permitted to ask the kohen to serve a yisrael(17).
		A kohen who violates the sanctity of the kehunah by marrying a divorcee or entering a cemetery when he is forbidden to do so, etc., forfeits the privileges of the kehunah.

	Marriage Qualifications
		A Kohen who violates any of these restrictions loses his privileges to be called first to the Torah and the right to give the Kohanim’s Blessing until he divorces the forbidden mate and vows to refrain from marrying anyone forbidden to him.
		The son of a known Kohen and a fit mother does not have the option of resigning from the Kehuna, and remains responsible to protect his status and that of his children.
		A Kohen must be careful in selecting a proper mate, so as to pass his line and tradition to his children, and not to cause a break in the genealogical chain from Aharon haKohen.

		The rabbi discovers that he is a kohen and his fiancé is a divorcee, convert, someone previously married out of the faith, or perhaps the daughter of a non-Jewish father.
		If he is indeed a genuine kohen and she does, in fact, belong to one of the above-mentioned categories, we have a problem.
		Especially a father who is a kohen and has passed down that lineage to his son has a moral obligation to advise his son of what it means to be a kohen.

	Welcome to the Tribe!
		It is told of Rabbi Kahaneman, a Kohen and the founder of the Ponevitch Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, that even at the age of eighty, he refused to have a painful tooth removed, not wanting to create a possible disqualifying blemish, in the hope that the Temple Service would be restored in his lifetime.
		Therefore, to allow the Kohen and the Levi to be free to perform their Holy Service in the Temple and to serve as teachers and leaders, it was necessary to provide them with a source of sustenance.
		Another function of the Kohen related to the problem of Tumah is that of determining the existence of Tsarat, a spiritually caused condition which affected people’s skin or hair as well as clothing and dwellings.

	Kohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many kohanim choose to have this symbol, the special positioning of their fingers and hands during the Priestly Blessing, placed as a crest or symbol on their gravestones to indicate their status.
		A male kohen may not marry a divorcee, a prostitute, a convert, or a dishonored woman (Lev.
		These rulings include permitting a Bat Kohen to perform the Priestly Blessing, the Pidyon HaBen ceremony, and receive the first Aliyah during a Torah reading, in those Conservative synagogues that have both retained traditional tribal roles and modified traditional gender roles.

	Intimacy... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In the times of the first Bais Hamikdash, the work of the Kohen Gadol was to go into the Holy of Holies once a year, to bring in the burning incense, and say a short prayer.
		What does it mean that a person is selected out of the entire nation to be the Kohen Gadol, and this Kohen Gadol was unfit for the job, and so he died because of inappropriate thoughts during those fifteen minutes in the Holy of Holies.
		There was a Kohen Gadol who, who was Kohen Gadol for eighty years, which means he must have lived to be a hundred at least, because you don’t start until you’re twenty.

	Arutz Sheva - Israel National News
		The eligibility of a woman for a Kohen narrows down to either a widow or a woman who has never married (provided that neither has anything in her past to disallow her to a Kohen).
		But as a Kohen reaches his 30s, 40s or 50s and remains unmarried, or has himself been divorced and is seeking to remarry, the narrowness of the "playing field" becomes a serious malaise.
		Being a Kohen myself, I recall spending one whole Shavuot night, my second Shavuot in Eretz Yisrael, learning with a chaverusa the rationale behind the rabbonim ruling that the offspring of a Jewish mother and gentile father is "not from the seed of Israel" for the purposes of marriage to a Kohen.

	Soul Of The Bat Kohen
		On 11 Adar-1 5757, I formally returned to Torah with a mikveh immersion, and under the supervision of a Beit Din.
		During the reception ceremony following the immersion, I was blessed by the supervising Rabbi, a kohen, with the birkat kohanim (priestly blessing) concurrent with the laying on of hands upon my head (the posture of semichah).
		Moreover, that this all came about through an act of semichah (necessarily the act of a kohen tzedek, Sukah 52b) testifies that the Rabbi and I are

	Ohr Somayach :: Talmudigest :: Yoma 2 - 8
		One of the sacred priestly garments common to both the kohen gadol and a regular kohen was the avneit (belt).
		When Moshe was commanded regarding dressing the kohanim during the initiation (Shmot 29:9), he was told to “belt Aharon and his sons with an avneit” which indicates that Aharon, the kohen gadol, and his sons, the regular kohanim, had their avneit belts put on one after the other.
		The answer is that the separation was to communicate that the avneit of the kohen gadol was not made of the same material as that of the regular kohen.

		When the next Kohen in line was appointed to the office, that Kohen Gadol's mother heard of this custom and adopted it.
		Had a Kohen Gadol's wife thought of this first, it is quite possible that it would be the wives rather than mothers who did this.
		If so, the Kohen Gadol's wife could be quite young for quite a number of years, and not really up to the challenge of feeding and clothing the residents of several cities.

	The Kohen Gene
		The first Kohen was Moses' brother, Aaron, and all Kohanim since then are said to be descendants of Aaron.
		The second group was the Levis, of which Moses himself was a part of, and the third group was compiled of the remaining eleven tribes (of which ten have said to be "lost"), simply called the Israelites.
		In traditional and orthodox Judaism, a woman is known as "the daughter of a Levi" (if her father is a Levi) until she marries, and then she is "the wife of a Levi." So, the concept of a "kohen gene" can only pertain to Jewish men who have not converted into the faith (1).

	27achare
		As this ritual involves direct contact with the altar, the kohen must wear the "bigdei ha-bad." After this stage concludes with the kohen's placing the ashes "next to the altar," the verse then proceeds to the second stage: the removal of ashes from the altar's side to an area outside the camp.
		The kohen does not earn an elevated stature by wearing these garments; to the contrary, he detaches himself entirely from his priestly vestments and wears clothing of a stature lower than that of his regular priestly garments.
		These garments allow the kohen gadol to serve in the mishkan despite their falling short of the stature of his usual vestments.

	Soul of the Kohen's Daughter

		The family of a Kohen partakes of this teruma, but a Kohen's daughter who marries a stranger - i.e., one who is not a Kohen - forfeits this privilege.
		This verse is contingent on another, "But if the daughter of a Kohen becomes a widow or a divorcee, and has no children, she may return to her father's home, as in her youth; she may eat of her father's food, but no stranger shall eat of it" (Lev.

		The status of these two is fundamentally different: the Kohen Gadol is considered a holy man, while the rest of the kohanim are simply called kohanim.
		In general, the concept of sanctity is mentioned in connection with a regular kohen only as an adjunct to the sanctity of the Kohen Gadol.
		In the Rashbam's view, the service of the Kohen Gadol in the kodesh ha-kodashim was originally, ideally intended to be performed with him garbed in all eight garments.
