Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurWhat is the first mitzvah in the Torah? At what point do we even begin to view commandments that appear in the Torah as "Torah"? The gemara and rishonim on our sugya open up their discussion of this question with an interpretation of several pesukim in Bemidbar. Join us for this Gefet as we approach the end of Masechet Horayot.Gefet Ep 193Avodah zarah 75Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurOur Masechet ends with the laws of tevilat keilim. What is behind this curious practice — buying a vessel and then immersing it in 40 se'ah of water? And what can the practice teach us about both our relationship to our own property and our relationship to the broader world?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurAs part of its discussion of Gentile acquisition, our sugya deals with the prohibition of theft for a Gentile — and surprisingly, teaches that the halakhot of theft for Bnei Noach differ from those of Jews in several fundamental ways. Join us as we explore the ways that halakhic frameworks relate to Gentile prohibitions and examine the ways in which theft is understood differently for Bnei Noach and for Jews.Gefet Ep 191Avodah zarah 72Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurHalakhah forbids not only yayin nesech (libated wine), but also regular Gentile wine — and even wine that was handled by a Gentile. We'll attempt to make sense of this prohibition, which Chazal call stam yeinam: if it's just regular wine, why is it prohibited? And in which situations does the prohibition in fact apply?Gefet Ep 190Avodah zarah 58Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

While we're on our bein hazmanim break and gearing up for some exciting episodes in Elul, I wanted to share a podcast I've been enjoying on my commute.This week's recommendation is a thought-provoking episode of the Iyun Podcast, hosted by Rabbi Ari Koretsky — in my opinion, one of the best podcast hosts out there. Each episode takes a deep, nuanced look at issues like the Charedi draft and other pressing topics.In this episode, Does the Torah Protect?, Rabbi Dr. Yitzchak Lifshitz offers a fresh and engaging perspective. The conversation ties closely to themes we explore on Shtark Tank, especially the relationship between the Beis Midrash and the outside world.Give it a listen — I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did.Sign up for our newsletter at ShtarkTank.org

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurThe sugya deals with situations in which some result is the effect of two causes, one of which is permitted and one prohibited… how are we to view such a case? Does it matter what caused the reality before me, and if so, under what circumstances can I ignore the contribution of the issur?Gefet Ep 189Avodah zarah 39Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurOur sugya teaches that the prohibition of avodah zarah includes a prohibition to replicate a human form. We'll attempt to understand what's behind this prohibition, as well as to understand its ramifications: is portraiture allowed? What about photography? Might there be a halakhic problem with buying humanlike dolls for my children?Gefet Ep 188Avodah zarah 43Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurThe sugya deals with the challenging topic of Etnan Zonah (the payment to a prostitute). Rashi and Tosafot interpret the sugya against the backdrop of a well-known and important dispute between Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish regarding acquisition (kinyan). From their words, it appears that Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish disagree on how acquisition works according to the Torah, and it is clear to both of them that acquisition by a Jew is different from that of the nations of the world.Why should there be a difference between the modes of acquisition for Jews versus other nations?We will study this dispute together and examine a fascinating proposal on this matter by Rabbi Samson Raphael HirschGefet Ep 187 Avodah zarah 63Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurMoshe and Aharon as his priests, and Shmuel as his call—all called by his name” Was Moshe a priest? Rashi, emphatically, explains that Moshe was a “zar” (stranger/outsider). Yet Tosafot open the door to a turbulent debate among Tannaim, Amoraim, and even among Rishonim about Moshe's status.What lies behind Rashi's words?We'll delve deeply into Rashi and Tosafot here, and finish with a surprising insight into the question—why didn't Moshe enter the Land of Israel?Gefet Ep 186Tosfot Avodah Zarah 34Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

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! Join us as we delve into this heated dispute.Gefet Ep 110, Avodah Zarah 22Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.
