    This week we will continue to learn the various categories of oaths (shevuot), distinguishing between oaths regarding past or future actions and exploring liability for violating them, even unintentionally. The Gemara examines the interplay between oaths and other prohibitions, such as korbanot and mitzvot, and how an oath cannot override a pre-existing Torah obligation.For more info or to visit the main shiur page please visit⁠⁠⁠ https://webyeshiva.org/course/daf-yomi-one-week-at-a-time-shevuot/

    Masechet Shvuot begins with an unusual feature: it doesn't open with a direct definition of “shevuot” (oaths), but instead with a statement that lists different legal categories that the tractate will cover, including tumah (impurity), bi'at mikdash (entering the Temple in a state of impurity), yediot hatumah (knowledge of impurity), and various types of oaths (shevuot). The Mishna explains that some of these cases involve two that are actually four—referring to the idea that the Torah mentions two, and the Rabbis derive an additional two.For more info or to visit the main shiur page please visit https://webyeshiva.org/course/daf-yomi-one-week-at-a-time-shevuot/
