Beyond the Daf - Hadran

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainMay We Offer Sacrifices without a Beit HaMikdash? 19th Century Religious & Zionist PolemicsShevuot 16a offers the possibility of giving sacrifices even without a standing mikdash. This served as the basis for a fascinating practical discussion among both Haredim and early Religious Zionists in the 19th century about the role of korbanot in Jewish life.

What is the “heart of the Beit Din”? And can synagogue furniture be used for a Bat Mitzvah?Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval discuss a halachic concept about changing the designated use of a donation — in the Gemara, a living animal dedicated as a sacrifice; in our times, donations for sacred use. They explore the ability (or inability) to repurpose such items, what happens when they're unused, and the principle known as “the heart of the Beit Din.”A Daf of Their Own – Thought-provoking Talmudic discussions in a friendly, accessible style with Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval#DafYomi #MasechetShevuot #ADafOfTheirOwnLearn more on Hadran.org.il

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 HainWhat is the logic behind ignoring conditions made in an agreement that attempt to override the Torah? According to Chazal, the condition is void unless the context is financial, while the agreement stands without it.

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? Do they still apply? If so, when? Are we worried about their slippery slope potential?

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.
