A great opportunity for the entire family, to share some thoughts on the daf ... the family feels united by discussing what the head of the house is studying.
I try to break it down so that everyone can understand it ....

''Tuma Contracted via Ohel"
From all the different halachos that we learned about tuma and tehara (laws of contamination & purity) only the laws of being contaminated by a corpse apply today, therefore only a kohein has to be aware of his surroundings to make sure that he avoids contracting tuma via a corpse, the rest of us are in the state of tuma all the time, being that we do not have a Bais Ha'mikdash and have no way to have a Para Adumah, which is the catalyst of purifying all of us.
So even-though a kohein is as tuma as the rest of us, he still has to avoid either touching or being under the same roof as a corpse.
There are 3 different ways that a kohein can contract tuma via a tent..... "tumas ohel"
1. If a kohein should cover a corpse like a tent....
2. If the corpse is above the kohein.....covering him as a tent
3. if the kohein and the corpse are under one roof.
