Commentary for Kiddushin 104:14

כעס ר' יהודה עליהם אמר להם לא כך אמרתי לכם אל יכנסו מתלמידי ר"מ לכאן מפני שקנתרנים הם ולא ללמוד תורה הם באים אלא לקפחני בהלכות הם באים וכי אשה בעזרה מנין

What is the reason? When they<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The owner and the Priest.');"><sup>26</sup></span> acquire [thereof], it is from the table of the Most High that they acquire [it].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., having been sacrificed, it is certainly God's.');"><sup>27</sup></span>

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

R. Yehudah does not seem particularly fond of R. Meir, or at least not of his students, and wants to keep them out of his Bet Midrash after their master’s death. R. Yehudah’s complaint is that they posit halakhot that really cannot happen. They are halakhic nudniks if you will. R. Meir states that a priest cannot betroth a woman with his sacrificial portion. But how can this ever happen—this meat cannot leave the Temple Courtyard, and a woman cannot enter the Temple Courtyard! So why rule against an impossible situation?
