Nov 15, 2019 at 4:25 comment added יהושע ק Excellent question, @Dude. For most things, a chalal has the din of Yisrael. And his son, in fact is outright Yisrael. Everyone else will revert to their tribal affiliation and landholdings when Moshiach comes (a random guy at shul doesn't have any awareness his forefathers were part of, say, Yissachar though he is in fact a Yissacharite), but a chalal is no longer a Kohain or even a Levite. So where can he go?
Nov 14, 2019 at 23:25 comment added Dude how do you know that just b/c chalalim are posul from serving in the bes hamikdash that means they will not be eligible to have homes?
Sep 17, 2019 at 15:57 comment added Loewian Why would you assume the law would be any different than before the Exile?

Sep 17, 2019 at 13:16 comment added msh210 "are not considered Levites such that they could be eligible for homes in the Cities of Refuge" is the major claim your question is premise on, so supporting it would strengthen your question. I've never heard of such a thing, personally.
Sep 17, 2019 at 11:56 comment added Heshy I mean their land in the Levi cities. As far as I know, the normal inheritance rules apply to them, and the only difference from normal land is the rules in Bechukosai about how it gets sold.
Sep 17, 2019 at 11:49 comment added יהושע ק @Heshy kohenim don't really own property per se (I mean, they can, but it's not part of "the system"), rather, they get Teruma, tithes and jobs at the Beit HaMikdash in lieu of, say, productive farmland. None of these are available to a chalal as a source of income
Sep 17, 2019 at 11:00 comment added Heshy Wouldn't chalalim inherit from their kohen ancestors?
