== The Rebbe's Explanations ==

==== Rabbi Yehudah's Advice ====

In the ~~Mesechtas~~, there is a story about a non-Jew who told Rabbi Yehudah ben Beteira that he goes up to Jerusalem every year and eats from the Pesach sacrifice. Rabbi Yehudah advised him to request the portion of the tail fat from the animal. When the non-Jew requested this portion the next time he went up to Jerusalem, the Jews realized this was a tactic from his sender Rabbi Yehudah ben Beteira, and they killed the non-Jew. One of the novel teachings learned from this is that a non-Jew who ate from the Pesach sacrifice is liable to death.

Tosafot asks why Rabbi Yehudah ben Beteira himself didn't go up to Jerusalem, and provides three answers: a) He didn't own land. This answer is insufficient because there is a question whether someone without land is exempt from the pilgrimage festival, so Tosafot answers that he was elderly and couldn't make the journey.
