Yoma 10 - April 21, 9 Iyar

Study Guide Yoma 10

Today's daf is sponsored by Ellen Golub in loving memory of her aunt, Lottie Cohen, on her seventh yahrzeit. "Auntie Lottie spoke a beautiful Yiddish and was a woman of extraordinary patience, love, and generosity of spirit. Yehi zichrona li’vracha." And by Yoni Bock to his partner Ron Kaplan on achieving a half-century milestone. "From never having studied a page of Talmud to taking time to tackle daf yomi daily, you are an inspiration. Happy birthday! Ad meah v'esrim." And for a refuah shleima for  Noach Avraham ben Batya Shana.

They also have the same a similar debate regarding a mezuza on a sukka but their opinions there contradict their opinions here. How is that contradiction resolved?
