Beyond the Daf - Hadran

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainR. Shimon's opinion in this week's daf that ritual slaughter that does result in edible food (because, for instance, the animal itself may not be eaten) is linked to a verse about Yosef and his brothers. This raises the question about learning law from the narrative part of the Torah. In this shiur, we will probe the varied relationships between the narrative (esp. Bereshit) parts of the Torah its legal parts (esp. Vayikra and Devarim).Chullin 85 Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.ilFor more Din and Daf: https://hadran.org.il/channel/din-daf/

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.At the beginning of the chapter Eilu Tereifot, a surprising dispute appears: Can a tereifah live, or can a tereifah not live?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.Our sugya raises the possibility — a possibility that seems implausible to several Amoraim — that it might be easier to be a Jew than to be a Gentile. Might there be some behaviors permitted to a Jew that would be forbidden if she were a Gentile? Through the Tosafot on our sugya, we'll explore this question and the theological issues it raises: is the particular covenant between the Jewish people and God a supplement to or a replacement of God's initial covenant with all of humanity?Gefet Ep 219Chullin 33Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

At first glance, this seems to be the core dispute between Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva. But as we'll see, Rabbi Yishmael's position is actually very difficult to understand. Why would something forbidden in the desert suddenly become permitted in the Land of Israel? Does Eretz Yisrael no longer carry the dangers of desire?

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainIn this week's daf (Menachot 93a-b), the mishnah declares that women do not lay their hands (semicha) on their korbanot. This seems to be the position within mishnah, as corroborated in Kiddushin (36a, Mishnah 1:8). However, in another tannaitic source - the Sifra (Midrash Halakha on Vayikra) - R. Yose and R. Shimon are cited as saying that women may choose to lay their hands (semicha) on their korbanotץ Their approach introduces an important rabbinic concept - רשות - volitional acts. It also serves as precedent in the Bavli for women's volitional performance of mitzvot that are understood as not required of them. In this shiur, we will examine both of these dimensions.Menachot 93Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.ilFor more Din and Daf: https://hadran.org.il/channel/din-daf/

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe mishnah bases the prohibition to buy required korbanot from ma'aser sheni money (=i.e., money used to redeem ma'aser sheni produce) on the korban Pesach. After all, in both Egypt and in the desert, people did not yet separate ma'aser sheni, so they certainly did not use the money to buy the animals for these korbanot. This leads the Gemara into a discussion about the similarities between the Pesach in Egypt, known as Pesach Mitzraim, and the way Pesach is observed for all time, known as Pesach Dorot. In this shiur, we will examine layered relationship between the original Pesach and all Pesachim since! חג שמח!Menachot 82Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.ilFor more Din and Daf: https://hadran.org.il/channel/din-daf/

Thanks to studying Tractate Menachot during the war, we can reflect together on the matzah we eat on Passover night.
