Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurThe Mishnah presents a dispute between Rabbi Shimon and the Sages regarding whether it is possible to reduce the permissible time for eating consecrated offerings. That is, when there is a mixture of two sacrifices—one that only priests may eat for a limited time, and another that non-priests may eat for a longer period—may one treat the shelamim as though it were an asham, thereby resolving the problem of the mixture? Rabbi Shimon rules that this is permissible, while the Sages disagree. What is the full scope of Rabbi Shimon's position? Abaye proves in the Gemara that Rabbi Shimon spoke of such permission even lechatchila. The Rishonim disagree in explaining Abaye's proof for Rabbi Shimon. Join us as we study and uncover this debate, which—surprisingly—turns out to hinge on a textual variant in the Mishnah in Ma'aser Sheni.Gefet Ep 199Zevachim 76 Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurThe "mizbach haolah" is the copper altar that Moshe build in the wilderness -- a hollow altar that would, each time, be filled out with earth. Was this altar replaced by Shlomo? In the pesukim, it seems that it remained a copper altar, but Rashi and Tosafot both argue that the copper altar was hidden. How do Rashi and Tosafot explain the pesukim? And what is the position of Ralbag, who disagrees? Join us as we exlpore the mystery of the mizbach hanechoshet.Gefet Ep 198Zevachim 59-61 Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurClothing is something that we choose — but to what extent does it define who we are? How does our outward presentation reflect something deeper about our identities?

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.

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
