Shevuot 29 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-30 Definition of a vain oath. If a person swears according to his own understanding. Both a oath of utterance and a vain oath apply to all people (including women, disqualified witnesses, etc.), and both inside and outside Beis Din, provided the oath was expressed by his own mouth.

Shevuot 26 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-27 The way of learning the Torah with generalizations and specifications as opposed to amplifications and limitations. A person has to be fully aware when he makes an oath. An oath has to be explicitly said and not just thought.
Shevuot 25 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-26 An oath of utterance does it have to be applicable in the past as well as the future? Also does it have to be applicable in the negative and in the positive form? The relationship between oaths of utterance and oaths of testimony.
Shevuot 24 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-25 More inclusive prohibitions. Prohibitions which come by themselves. More expansive prohibitions. One who swears not to eat figs, then swears not to eat figs and grapes.

Shevuot 22 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-23 Oaths which everyone agrees are liable for even a minute amount. Difference between a konam and a vote not to eat something. Swearing not to eat dirt.
Shevuot 21 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-22 Other opinions about the difference between a vain and false oath. Violation of an oath incurs lashes even though it doesn't involve an action. Is eating the smallest amount of a forbidden food liable for punishment?

Shevuot 13 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-14 Rebbi's view about the power of Yom Kippur. How would one get karet according to Rebbi on Yom Kippur? How do Kohanim get atonement on Yom Kippur?
Shevuot 12 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-13 Unused communal offerings are brought as "desert" for the Altar. Sin offerings have so develop a blemish before being brought up as burnt offerings. Intentional sins relating to impurity are atoned for on Yom Kippur.
Shevuot 11 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-12 Physical sanctity compared to monetary sanctity. How does one redeem animals and incense that is no longer needed. The Beth Din makes various conditions.

Shevuot 5 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-06 "And it was concealed” implies that he previously knew. Why our mishna is different from the opening mishna of Shabbat. The pairing of the four shades of tzara'at.
Shevuot 4 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-05 Wherever it says in the Torah, “be careful,” “lest,” or “do not,” it is nothing but a negative prohibition, and incurs lashes. Expounding verses using the method of amplifications and limitations vs generalisations and specifications.
Shevuot 3 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-04 Why Shevuot follows Makkot. Explanations of all the cases of "Two that are four". Who does our mishna follow?
Shevuot 2 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-03 Examples of "Two that are four". Which sacrifices atone for various sins relating to impurity in the Temple and holy food. Different categories of awareness.
Makkot 24 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-02 The source of 613 mitzvot. Different prophets summarised the mitzvot into categories. The optimism of Rabbi Akiva.
Makkot 23 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-01 The power of abstaining from a sin. If one who refrains from consuming blood, from which a person is repulsed, is still rewarded, then one who refrains from theft and immorality, which a person desires and covets– all the more so will earn merit for himself, for his generations, and his generations' generations, until the end of generations.
Makkot 22 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-30 Various other prohibitions which one could be liable for at the same time. Only 39 lashes not 40. The procedure for lashes.

Makkot 20 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-28 Unseparated maaser sheni. One who makes a bald spot on his head in mourning the dead, one who “rounds” the corners of his face, one who destroys the corner of his beard, and one who cuts his flesh in anguish over the dead are all liable to lashes.
Makkot 19 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-27 Maaser sheni, firstborn animals and bikkurim in Jerusalem nowadays. Impure maaser sheni can even be redeemed inside Jerusalem. If a person's load of maaser sheni is inside Jerusalem but he is outside, or the reverse.
Makkot 18 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-26 Five prohibitions for a single consumption of an olah offering. Bikkurim which became ineligible for reciting verses are left to rot. The potential for an event to occur.
Makkot 17 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-25 How much forbidden food is required to be eaten in order to receive lashes? Many prohibitions liable to lashes can be learned from one verse.
Makkot 16 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-24 Sins without an action and uncertain warnings. The cases of a positive commandment rectifying a negative commandment. Number of lashes for eating various creeping creatures, and making oneself abominable.
Makkot 15 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-23 A positive commandment preceding a negative commandment. What we derive from a defamer and a rapist. Does one get lashed immediately on non-fulfilment of the positive commandment or only if one renders it impossible to fulfil?
Makkot 14 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-22 A sister who is also his father's sister and mother's sister. An impure person who touches sacrificial food. A person who who blends annointing oil.
Makkot 13 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-21 Does the unintentional murderer go back to his previous position? Getting lashes in addition to karet. Lashes are incurred for prohibitions similar to the prohibition against muzzling a threshing animal.
Makkot 12 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-20 The mistakes of Yoav. The permissability of the blood avenger killing the unintentional murderer. Following the branches of a tree which is partially outside the city of refuge's boundaries.
Makkot 10 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-18 The city of refuge has to be the right size and contain all the required amenities. David's prayers are worth more than a thousand sacrifices. In the path that a person wants to go,in that path they lead him.
Makkot 9 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-17 When a ger toshav is exiled. Where someone thinks it is permitted to kill. The case of Avimelech. The 6 cities of refuge.
Makkot 8 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-16 Dispute about about the axe-head flying off the handle, or a chip of wood which kills someone. One who kills inadvertently while engaged in a mitzvah is not exiled. A son going to exile for striking his father.
Makkot 7 : Marc Chipkin : 2925-04-15 A sanhedrin avoiding capital punishment. Exile is given for an unintentional murder, through a downwards movement.

Makkot 5 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-13 The conspiring witnesses have to be shown to have been in a different plane at the time they purported to see the crime. The conspiring witnesses are killed only if their victim was convicted and not if he was already executed.
Makkot 4 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-12 If three lugin of drawn water with the color of wine disqualify a mikveh. Receiving lashes as well as having to pay money. Receiving lashes for sins not involving an action.
Makkot 3 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-11 Assessing conspiring witnesses' payment of a Ketubah. Does shemittah cancel a ten-year loan? Lending money on condition that shemittah does not cancel a debt.
Makkot 2 : Marc Chipkin: 2025-04-10 Conspiring witnesses who get lashed instead of the reciprocal punishment. The meaning of the verse “they exonerate the innocent one and convict the guilty one”.
