Podcasts about beit midrash

What about conditional oaths? That means one oath forbids something, but the second may not. Unless he engineered the events of the first one, and neglected the second one. Also, the story of the brothers Eifa and Avimi, and their learning of Shevuot in the beit midrash.

We say everyday in Pesukei DeZimra , " אהללה ה' בחיי . The Ketav Sofer explains that this means we should praise Hashem simply for the gift of life itself. " אזמרה לאלוקי בעודי "—I will sing to Hashem for all the extras He gives me. When we truly recognize our blessings, we will not only praise Hashem, but we will sing to Him with joy. There are so many potential dangers in the world, and Hashem, who is the Shomer Yisrael, is constantly watching over us. We have no idea about how much Hashem protects us, but we do know that He does, and we must thank Him for that, too. A rabbi shared how his wife went for a routine checkup. Since she was over 50, the doctor recommended a colonoscopy. She delayed the appointment several times until, one day, she received a message asking if she wanted a Cologuard test kit, which allows for an at-home screening. She agreed, and days later, two kits arrived instead of one—an apparent mistake. Since they had an extra, she told her husband to take one as well. They both sent in their samples, and the doctor informed her husband that his results were positive, requiring further examination. Although he had no plans to undergo a colonoscopy, he now had no choice. During the procedure, they removed polyps and discovered additional growths requiring surgery. Everything moved quickly from that point. They were able to get appointments due to last-minute cancellations. On the day of the surgery, the doctor informed him that if the growth was too close to the rectum, they would not be able to reconnect it, and he would have to wear a bag for the rest of his life. Baruch Hashem , the surgery was a success. It took an hour and a half longer than expected, but they removed everything, and he would not need a bag. The rabbi sang the praises of Hashem. He had no idea how much danger he was in, yet Hashem sent him exactly what he needed—through the mail—to save his life. Only Hashem knows the dangers people face and He has infinite ways of protecting them. Rabbi Binyamin Pruzansky shared a powerful story that took place last year on Erev Pesach in the Geula neighborhood of Yerushalayim. Rabbi Zev, a talmid chacham , went to Shacharit after spending nearly the entire night preparing for Pesach . He was scheduled to make a siyum for the firstborns at his shul . After tefilla , everyone gathered for the siyum . He was finishing Massechet Baba Kama. He went to the sefarim shelf to pull off a Hebrew Artscroll gemara to finish the masechet with. This masechet is divided up into three volumes in the Artscroll Shas. He opened the Gemara and began reading out loud. It was then that he realized he pulled out the wrong volume. The waiting men shifted impatiently as the rabbi went back to the sefarim shelf and pulled out a different volume. When he turned to the end of that massechet, he saw again it was the wrong volume. How could I make such a fool of myself twice? He silently rebuked himself. I must be much more tired than I even realized. Finally, on the third attempt, Rabbi Zev got it right. He read the last few lines and made the siyum. As the men began eating the celebratory cake, the door of the shul suddenly burst open. A man ran inside, announcing that there had just been a terror attack. Two terrorists had driven down the street trying to ram pedestrians. When they saw no one outside, they got out of their car and began shooting. Miraculously, their gun jammed, and no one was harmed. The people in the Beit Midrash realized that had Rabbi Zev pulled out the correct Gemara on his first attempt, they would have finished earlier and been outside at the very moment of the attack. We have no idea how much Hashem protects us every single day. It is our responsibility to thank and praise Him for the life that He gives us.

We don't have a new episode this week, but we invite you to revisit our conversation with Reuven and Shani Taragin on the future of Religious Zionism, originally aired Jan. 16, 2024.In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we talk to Rav Reuven and Rabbanit Shani Taragin, educational directors of World Mizrachi, about what comes next for Israel's Dati Leumi (Religious Zionist) community. Additionally, we speak with Gideon Davis, a Religious Zionist soldier serving in Gaza.Mistakenly, we tend to think of the Dati Leumi community as Israel's analog to Modern Orthodoxy. That makes us miss, however, that Religious Zionism is a rich worldview unto itself, and is something we all can learn from. In this episode we discuss:How does the Dati Leumi community differ from the American Modern Orthodox community?What can American Jews better understand about the sacrifices and contributions made by Religious Zionists?What does it mean to be a member of the Dati Leumi community in 2024?Tune in to hear a conversation about how a religious mindset can expand beyond personal piety to include a deep commitment to the Jewish People and the world.Interview with Gideon Davis begins at 6:09.Interview with Reuven and Shani Taragin begins at 36:42.Rav Reuven Taragin is a former Wexner Fellow and Musmach of the Israeli Chief Rabbinate. Rav Taragin is the Dean of Overseas Students at Yeshivat Hakotel where he is responsible for the program's quality and message and the welfare of each of its talmidim.

Today's daf is sponsored by Leah Caroline in loving memory of her brother Baruch Binyamin z”l ben Tzvi Thaler on his shloshim. "Baruch encouraged my learning and often asked where I was up to in the Gemara. We all miss you very much." When Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said in the Mishna "it goes by the local custom" what did he mean? In what case does he disagree with the tana kamma? Abaye categorizes Rashbag's opinion with two other rabbis who ruled in different cases based on the same approach.  Why does the Mishna need to specify that one witness in a get pashut is invalid - isn't that obvious? Two answers are brought. According to one answer, the case is where there is one witness on the document and one who is not signed on the document but testifies about what is written in the document. There is a debate about whether or not this case is valid. Abaye ruled that it is invalid, which Ameimar ruled that it is valid. Ameimar brings proof from a question that was asked to Rabbi Yirmia and on account of his answer, he was permitted to reenter the Beit Midrash after being kicked out. There are four versions regarding the question they asked Rabbi Yirmia.  The Mishna discusses cases where there is a contradiction in the amount of money mentioned in the document.  Depending on the situation, there are different ways of deciding which amount is "correct." What is done if the amount of money is not specified, but just the coin, or just "silver" or "gold"?

Today's daf is sponsored by Gabrielle Altman in loving memory of Yechezkel Yitzhak Ben Shlomo Zev, Honorable Herbert Altman z”l on his Shloshim. "Beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, brilliant jurist, and wonderful Jew. He will be forever cherished, missed, and loved. Yehi Zichro Baruch." Today's daf is sponsored by Becki Goldstein in honor of the marriage of her cousin Aviva Engel to Mickey Fankhauser, the Aliyah of her parents from Montreal to Modiin, and welcomes her brother Rabbi Zvi Engel from Chicago who will be the mesader kiddushin. "My heart is full of thanksgiving to Hashem for all his chasadim. והריקותי לכם ברכה והצלחה בלי די." A story is told about Rav Yosef who has bloodletters that worked under his tree and attracted ravens that ruined his tree. He wanted to get rid of the bloodletters. Abaye questioned this as the damages were indirect, but Rav Yosef answered that even indirect damages are forbidden. Did the bloodletters have a legitimate claim that they had been doing this already for a while (chazaka) and Rav Yosef would not be able to kick them out? Can one create a chazaka for damages? One needs to distance one's dovecote from a city and other fields a certain distance to prevent one's doves from eating seeds or grains of others. But if one purchased a field with a dovecote within a short distance from one's neighbor, one can assume that it was done within the law (the neighbor allowed it or was compensated financially). What is the distance needed? How does this correspond to the distance mentioned regarding setting up traps for trapping doves? The Mishna discusses laws relating to a chick found in a certain area - how does one determine to whom the chick belongs? Rabbi Chanina says that in determining uncertainties, if there is a majority factor and a proximity factor that lead each to different conclusions, one follows the majority. Difficulties are raised from three sources (including our Mishna) which indicate that proximity is the more determining factor. Each one is resolved. In the context of those difficulties, Rabbi Yirmia asked a question on account of which he was kicked out of the Beit Midrash!

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain Why Was Rabbi Yirmiyah Thrown out of the Beit Midrash?  Measurements, in Theory and in Practice Bava Batra 23 sources On Bava Batra 23b, R. Yirmiyah gets thrown out of the beit midrash for questioning the standard measurement established for determining ownership of a fallen bird by offering a theoretical exception. In at least three other places in the Talmud Bavli, R. Yirmiyah is also found questioning legal measurements or standards by offering theoretical exceptions or outlier test cases. What is this questioning about, and what do R. Zeira's answers teach us about rabbinic understanding of the halakhic system? Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.il

Join us on a journey of faith and heresy with Rabbi Dr. Shraga Bar-On through a neglected chapter in the history of Jewish mysticism, the mysticism of the great sages of the Mishna and the Talmud. In a rich culture of dispute, rabbinic voices debate the mystical. Shraga gives us a first-hand creative rereading of one of the most mystical rabbinic passages, the famed ‘Four Who Entered the Orchard' shedding light on its secret history and transformation from a forbidding tale of three, to a cautionary tale of four. Join us as we venture into the orchard, discover its pitfalls, promises, presences and pleasures, and whatever you do, don't say ‘water, water.' Rabbi Dr. Shraga Bar-On is the Director of the Kogod Research Center for Contemporary Jewish Thought and the David Hartman Center for Intellectual Excellence, and a lecturer of Talmud and Jewish Thought at Shalem College. At the David Hartman Center, he is responsible for the advanced training of aspiring public intellectuals through the Beit Midrash for Israeli Rabbis, the David Hartman postdoctoral fellowship, and the Maskilot fellowship for women pursuing their doctorate. His research in Jewish philosophy and identity addresses a wide range of eras and topics: Second Temple literature, Mishnaic and Talmudic scholarship, medieval Jewish literature, early Zionism, and contemporary Jewish identity. His books and other works have been published in academic, popular, and educational contexts. Shraga lives in Beit Horon, is married to Vered, and is the father of Peleg, Sinai, and Gefen.

Avital Hochstein is a rabbi, a Jerusalemite, a mother of two soldiers currently serving in the IDF, and President of Hadar in Israel.In this episode, we hear directly from R. Avital and Hadar's Beit Midrash in Jerusalem. What parts of Torah can we reach for? How can we pray and what can we pray for? What does ritual and communal life look like in the shadow of this tragedy?  

During this time of worldwide Jewish unity, TRADITION is pleased to deliver an episode of our podcast co-produced with our friends at Matan: The Sadie Rennert Women's Institute of Torah Study in Jerusalem. Our recently released Fall 2023 issue features an essay by Dr. Yosefa Fogel Wruble titled “Psalm 139: When God's Presence Both Overwhelms and Eludes” which explores two exegetical prisms for Psalm 139 and the theological relevance in understanding this mizmor as a form of emotional struggle with God. Of course, when the essay was written, and when we went to press a few weeks ago, no one could have foreseen how its themes would become presciently relevant to our current moment—but that's often how it is with Torah learning. We thought it would be appropriate to chat with the author about her essay in light of the events on Simhat Torah and the war. Dr. Yosefa Fogel Wruble is a Ramit in the Women's Beit Midrash at Migdal Oz, a lecturer at Matan, and the host of the 1-on-1 Parsha Podcast from Matan which explores deep thematic points of the weekly Torah portion. For today's we turn the microphone back on her, making her the guest of this episode, for which she is joined by TRADITION's associate editor, Rabbi Yitzchak Blau. They discuss the feeling of being overwhelmed by God and the feeling of His absence. Wruble deepens her analysis and the conversation moves in some novel directions: How does the Psalmist's self-expression compare to the prophetic ambivalence of Jonah and Jeremiah? What are possible responses to our paradoxical experiences of feeling both His presence and absence Which related issues have the current situation brought to the fore? Read “Psalm 139: When God's Presence Both Overwhelms and Eludes” by Yosefa Fogel Wruble (TRADITION, Fall 2023).

Today's daf is sponsored by Ira and Natanya Slomowitz in loving memory of their father and father-in-law, haRav Shlomo ben Mashsa v'haRav Dov Tzvi Slomowitz. A final (sixth) source is brought in an attempt to raise a difficulty with Rava's opinion that a betrothal that cannot be consummated is not a betrothal, and this is the only one that is not resolved. The Gemara notes that this is one of the six arguments between Rava and Abaye where we hold like Abaye. Rav derives four halakhot from the case in the mishna regarding betrothal. 1. One can betroth with shemita fruits, even though they are generally only allowed to be eaten. 2. One cannot betroth with stolen property even stolen from the woman herself. 3. A woman can be a messenger in the betrothal of her husband to someone else. 4. The issue above that Rava and Abaye disagree about. The fourth one, Rav wasn't willing to conclude definitively from our Mishna whether it is effective or not as the Mishna can be explained both according to Rava and according to Abaye. A difficulty is raised against Rav regarding betrothing with stolen property as a braita teaches that it is effective. To resolve this, they suggest making a distinction between a case where they had/had not arranged the betrothal before. Three cases are brought where a man betrothed a woman using someone else's property and Rava ruled in each case that the betrothal was not valid as the item was not owned by the man and the original owner did not relinquish his rights to the object. The Mishna discusses betrothal using sacrificial items (a kohen giving his portion of the sacrifice to a woman for betrothal), maaser sheni, and hekdesh.  Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yehuda disagree about the halakha in these cases. When Rabbi Meir died, Rabbi Yehuda did not allow the students of Rabbi Meir into his Beit Midrash as he was concerned they were only coming to test Rabbi Yehuda. Sumchus anyway pushed his way in and quoted the halakha that Rabbi Meir taught which appears in our Mishna about a kohen betrothing a woman with sacrificial items. Rabbi Yehuda became angry at Sumchus saying, how can there be a case regarding those sacrificial items that can only be eaten in the azara as women do not go to the azara! Rabbi Yosi, feeling the need to make peace, intervened and explained the reality of the case in an attempt to calm down Rabbi Yehuda. 

Today's daf is sponsored by Ira and Natanya Slomowitz in loving memory of their father and father-in-law, haRav Shlomo ben Mashsa v'haRav Dov Tzvi Slomowitz. A final (sixth) source is brought in an attempt to raise a difficulty with Rava's opinion that a betrothal that cannot be consummated is not a betrothal, and this is the only one that is not resolved.

On the case of a father betrothing his daughter - a series of disputes on how this works. Which leads into a "reality" story account of the yelling in the beit midrash. Also, what about a minor who accepts kiddushin, not her father's doing? Plus, the complicated case of bringing a case before Shmuel and then Rav - when the get is needed, plus mi'un, where the action (or marriage, or betrothal) can be rejected.

Today's Talmud page, Gittin 70, shares a list of eight items that the body and soul should enjoy in moderation. Rabbi Dr. Stuart Halpern gives advice on ways to enjoy life, while also living in moderation. As an example of this, he shares the story of when George Will entered the Beit Midrash, the Study Hall of Yeshiva University, and wondered how anyone could learn in the cacophony of noise the came from the students as they studied together.

Finishing one chapter and starting the next. Wrapping up some possible cases - for the relationships where the husband isn't present or available to continue with sotah proceedings, but his warning to her negates her claim on her ketubah even though she doesn't drink the bitter waters. Also, a mishnah that lists many of the halakhot that were taught in the Beit Midrash when R. Elazar ben Azariah took over the leadership, when Rabban Gamliel was deposed. The laws are far-ranging, though beginning with Sotah, and reporting the prowess of R. Akiva, in solving some issues that R. Yochanan ben Zakkai (who was no longer alive) predicted would be resolved by subsequent generations.

In this class, Rabbi Joshua Cahan delves into the question: what story is the Haggadah telling? The Haggadah is a liturgy text whose focus is actually praise of God for the Redemption from Egypt rather than the complex human drama. In this class, Rabbi Cahan takes a quick tour through Maggid to see how that lens helps us to track its structure. He ends with a few thoughts about how we might find meaning in the act of 'declaring God's wonders'. Rabbi Cahan compiled and edited the Yedid Nefesh bencher and is introducing the new Yedid Nefesh Haggadah this Spring. He spent 13 years teaching high school Talmud and Tefilah in New York and 8 summers running the Beit Midrash program at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin. He holds Rabbinic Ordination and a Ph.D. in Talmud from the Jewish Theological Seminary. This session took place in person at Temple Beth Am and via Zoom on March 8, 2023. Rabbi Cahan is introduced by Rabbi Cantor Hillary Chorny.

Today's daf is dedicated to the refuah shleima of Avraham Pinchas ben Yaffa. If someone vowed not to eat 'cooked' foods, what is included? What about a 'cooked dish'? What does it depend on? Abaye states that everything cooked and eaten with bread was called a 'cooked dish'. A braita is brought to strengthen his words and there it appears that it was recommended to sick people to eat cooked gourd. The Gemara tells a story about Rabbi Yirmia when he was sick where it is written that gourd is very unhealthy for one who is sick. The Gemara brings three possible resolutions. The Babylonians had different eating customs and would eat thick porridge with bread. From there, the Gemara delves into all kinds of eating customs - such as should you eat porridge with your fingers? There is a conversation between two rabbis who ate from the same bowl - one with his fingers and the other with a fork and each was angry with the other. There are three stories with Rabbi Yehuda that someone (a rabbi, Roman matron, and a heretic) asked him why his face is red and healthy - each asking in a different manner. To each one he answered something different. Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Shimon carried things to the Beit Midrash to sit on them and said "Great is labor that honors the one who labors." Rabbi Yehuda had one cloak that both he and his wife shared.

TRADITION's Summer 2022 issue featured an article by Yakov Nagen, “Sharing Torah with the World: The Jewish People's Responsibility to Non-Jews.” The essay was part of a cluster of content related to topics in Jewish Universalism.  Nagen's contribution is a learned treatment of issues related to the challenge of being a “light unto the nations” in which he argues that teaching Torah to non-Jews is the most effective way to fulfill our Jewish spiritual mission. His is a provocative thesis, since it must account for longstanding contrary attitudes and approaches, and must justify the endeavor in the face of readings of tradition and halakha which (at best) looks at such activity with suspicion, or (at worst) outright forbids it. Nagen takes this all on in his essay – available open-access to our readers.    Rabbi Dr. Yakov Nagen is the director of Ohr Torah Stone's Beit Midrash for Judaism and Humanity and Blickle Institute for Interfaith Dialogue. He is also a long-time senior rabbi (Ram) at the Otniel Yeshiva. Watch a video recording of this conversation.

Israel is experiencing a non-Orthodox religious renaissance that is redefining Judaism and secularism in Israel. Rabbi Noga Brenner Samia, Executive Director of Hillel Israel and alumna of Hartman's Beit Midrash for Israeli rabbis, speaks with Yehuda Kurtzer about what sparked this new brand of liberal Judaism, the role of religion in the public sphere in a diverse religious ecosystem, how to negotiate the balance between the Jewish and democratic character of the state, and what it means to be a "secular rabbi?"

Presentation in PDF format A story is told of a case where they lost the keys to the Beit Midrash and they needed to carry keys on Shabbat from the public domain in order to open the Beit Midrash. They sent children to go to that area, intending for them to notice the keys and bring them. The rabbi who suggested this must hold that the courts are not commanded to prevent minors from transgressing. The Gemara brings eleven different tannaitic sources in an attempt to support or reject this opinion, however, each source can be explained in a way that would not allow us to infer from there that the court is/is not commanded to prevent minors from transgressing. If a couple went abroad and she comes back and says he has died, under what circumstances do we believe/not believe her?
