Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurThe sugya on the final Daf of our Perek says that if a Kuti performs labor on Chol HaMoed for a Jew, the Jew has violated the prohibition of "lifnei iver" Rabbeinu Tam celebrates our gemara, using it to demonstrate that the prohibition of lifnei iver applies to Rabbinic prohibitions -- after all, the prohibition of work on Chol Hamoed is only Rabbinic. But other Baalei HaTosafot disagree with Rabbeinu Tam's read, and our sugya becomes a battleground for the Tosafists!

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurIn the Mishnah at the beginning of the chapter, there is a debate between Rabbi Shimon and the Sages regarding the concept of beriyah (a complete entity). Rabbi Shimon holds that eating even the smallest amount of a forbidden item—if it constitutes a complete entity—incurs lashes. The Sages disagree, requiring a minimum quantity (kezayit) for liability. Rabbi Shimon challenges them: if one who eats an ant is liable, then surely eating a single grain of wheat should also be. The Mishnah doesn't clarify how the Sages responded to this claim. Join us as we trace this fascinating dispute from the Talmud to the Shulchan Aruch.Gefet Ep 109Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainSome violations in the Torah are followed by positive commandments that apply even if one has already transgressed the violation. A prominent example, as understood by Chazal, is sending away a mother bird even AFTER one already violated the Torah by taking her along with her chicks (Devarim 22:6-7). The Gemara calls this kind of negative-followed-by-positive commandment a לאו הניתק לעשה or מצות לא תעשה שיש בה קום עשה, and it rules that one who violates such a commandment does not get lashes. Why shouldn't a person who transgressed get lashes even if they fulfill the positive commandment later? Does fulfilling the positive commandment somehow stem the damage of the original transgression? Are we giving people a second chance here, or does this open the possibility of people exploiting the law by violating it and just making up for it by doing the positive commandment later?

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain This perek in Sanhedrin introduces the concepts of punishing preemptively - punishing the wayward son because of where his current path is leading him (נדון על שם סופו), punishing the home burglar because we presume readiness to commit murder (נדון על שם סופו), and various examples of people who are on their way to committing a capital crime and they may be stopped using lethal force (מצילין אותן בנפשן). These concepts, if expanded, can lead to an overreaching justice system, even one that punishes those who don't deserve it. Additionally, especially the final concept of מצילין אותן בנפשן can easily lead to vigilante-ism and extreme violence in the name of religion. How have we dealt with these concepts in Jewish history?

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainIn many places in Masechet Sanhedrin, the Gemara uses the reading rule that allows us to read meaning into a completely unrelated word. The rule is called אם אינו ענין ל_ תנהו ענין ל. This reading rule raises the important question of rabbinic legal parshanut in general. They pay close attention to each and every letter and word, and yet they are able to stretch the meaning of words and phrases.
