Masechtas Yoma (or Seder Yoma - the Order of the Day) is the fifth tractate in Seder Moed, and is found in the Mishnah, the Talmud, and the Tosefta. Masechet Yoma contains eight chapters and eighty-six and a half pages.
The tractate deals with matters of Yom Kippur, and the branching topics are: laws of the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) and the order of service, the lottery and the scapegoat for Azazel, prohibitions of eating on Yom Kippur. As well as matters concerning the slaughtering of the Tamid offering, and the removal of ashes.
Rav Sherira Gaon would call this tractate by the name Kipurim.
The Rebbe's Explanations[edit | edit source]
In the tractate it is explained regarding one of the Amoraim who would say to himself "words of mussar" so that he would not become haughty. From this story we learn two things: (a) One needs to negate feelings of self-importance, etc. (b) That indeed it is possible to negate this.
