Moed Katan 29a: קטן שהגדיל ודין תשלומין בהבדלה

Moed Katan 28a: מזל לישראל

Moed Katan 28b: גדר מצות שמחת יום טוב

This week we look specifically at the back story of Joseph and Asenath. Although not a biblical text the story gives some insight into the marriage between Egyptian Asenath and the Hebrew Joseph, looking at the need for Asenath to set aside the foreign idols that she worships in order to repent and be restored to the Most High God before being married to Joseph.This is particularly relevant as we get closer to the season of the Autumn Moedim and the Moed of Rosh Hashanah which is traditionally associated with the potential for the beginning of the Messianic reign of Messiah ben David and the return for his bride.  It is also the day that Pharoah releases Joseph, his restoration and promotion to the viceroy of Egypt leading ultimately to the restoration of the family of Israel and their rescue from the famine in the world.

Moed Katan 27b: גדר חיוב סעודת הבראה

Podcast Description: If a burial begins right before sunset but isn't finished until after, what's the mourner's status? Aninus means they're exempt from davening, while shiva only starts after the burial is complete. But once the casket is covered with earth, many poskim say the mourner may already daven — even before shiva has begun. This episode explores that critical difference.

Do we still tear keriah when seeing Yerushalayim today? What about when standing at the Kosel or looking toward Har HaBayis? In this episode, we break down the halacha step by step. We'll explain the debate among the poskim about Yerushalayim itself, the obligation everyone agrees to when seeing the Makom HaMikdash, and the question of whether tearing at the Kosel fulfills the mitzvah. A clear and practical guide to an emotional mitzvah many people wonder about.

Is Lag BaOmer a day of joy or sadness? We explore the Chasam Sofer's perspective on the yahrzeits of tzadikim and what it teaches us about how to view this unique day.

Episode Description:Eliyahu HaNavi's fiery ascent into heaven left behind more than a legacy—it sparked a halachic mystery. When a man transforms into a malach, what becomes of his marriage? Could his wife have remarried, or was she bound forever? In this episode, we explore a fascinating debate among the poskim, who wrestle with the question of Eliyahu's unique status: was he considered alive, was he considered dead, or had he entered an entirely new category beyond human definition? The discussion opens a window into the intersection of halacha, aggadah, and the eternal mysteries of Eliyahu HaNavi's mission.

Moed Katan 25a: מהחייב של איסורי אבילות

Moed Katan 24b: דברים שבצנעא ביום טוב

Moed Katan 23b: גדר דברכת הנהנין

Ondersteun ons dade, woorde en ons omgang met ander mense werklik ons belydenis?

In this episode, we explore whether an avel (mourner) may leave his house during shiva. Can he go elsewhere to sleep? What about traveling in a car versus walking in a public place? We trace the halachic foundation of this prohibition—rooted in the idea that it is not appropriate for a mourner to mingle with many people—and explain the distinctions between different types of leaving. Clear sources and reasoning help us understand the balance between private mourning and public presence.

If a relative passes away and the burial is postponed because the body is being flown to Israel, when does shivah actually begin? In this episode, we analyze the halachic debate, focusing on the Igros Moshe's psak and the underlying principles of whether aveilus follows the time of when they leave the body or the moment of kevurah.

A deep dive into the halachic concept of Shiur Ge'arah — the “measure of reprimand” in aveilus. We explore whether a mourner truly needs to be rebuked by friends before taking a haircut, or if time itself sets the limit. Featuring the Igros Moshe's foundational yesod on the sugya, we unpack the classic dispute among poskim and the practical minhag of waiting three months.

Moed Katan 20a: When does Shiva end on the 7th day?

שמואל אומר במועד קטן: "הלכה כדברי המיקל באבל." אבל אם אבלות היא רק מדרבנן – מדוע צריך כלל מיוחד? הרי כל ספק דרבנן לקולא! מה שונה אבלות שחז״ל הדגישו בה כלל של הקלה? בפרק הזה נעלה את השאלה ונראה את ביאורם של המפרשים.

In deze eerder gepubliceerde aflevering vertelt Marjon Moed over haar Camino en over een interessant initiatief in Nederland, de Camini - een Camino in een dag, compleet met pelgrimsmaaltijd en [voor wie dat wil] overnachten in een kerk. De Camini is bedoeld voor iedereen die wel eens kennis wil maken met dat wonderlijke verschijnsel dat we Camino noemen.De reden dat ik deze aflevering opnieuw publiceer is om je te laten weten dat de  eerstvolgende editie van de Camini zal plaatsvinden op 27 september 2025 in Utrecht. Op viajacobi.nl vind je informatie. En op 4 oktober 2025 is er een Camini in Haarlem, zie https://stadskloosterhaarlem.nl/persbericht/camini-haarlem-2025/Muziek:  Who would true valour see - Alister ThompsonLogo-ontwerp: Karin Kerremans, datbureau.nlContact over de podcast: post@johannakroon.nlhttps://www.johannakroon.nl/podcasten-voor-organisaties/

Description:The Gemara in Moed Katan (20a) teaches: “Amar Shmuel: Halacha k'divrei ha'meikil b'aveilus” — the halacha follows the lenient opinion in mourning. But if aveilus is truly a mitzvah d'Oraisa, why would Chazal establish a rule of leniency? In this episode, we'll ask that question and turn to the Minchas Chinuch and other mefarshim to uncover the reasoning.

Moed Katan 17a: גדר איסור לפני עור

Moed Katan 16a: מקור הפקר בית דין הפקר

Moed Katan 15b: גדר דין אבל אינו משלח קרבנותיו

יחזקאל מצטווה להתאבל – אבל לא כדרך שאר אבלים. חלק מהדינים הוא נצטווה לשמר, וחלק לבטל. מתוך הבחירה מה נשמר ומה לא, מגלה הגמרא יסוד עמוק באופי איסורי אבילות: ישנם דינים שנועדו לבטל תנאי נוחות, וישנם דינים שמבטאים שלמות פנימית ושמחה – ושורש האיסור בהם שונה לגמרי. שיעור זה בוחן את הפסוקים, את הדרשות, ואת החלוקה היסודית שבבסיס כל הלכות אבילות.

Sometimes work gets in the way and you miss a tefillah. What now? In this episode, we talk about whether you can say tashlumin (a makeup tefillah) if the reason you missed was because of work. We'll explain what the halacha says, when tashlumin is allowed, and what counts as a valid reason. Simple, clear, and practical.

If someone visits the Kosel on Erev Shabbos, does he tear kriyah? What if he's not crying—should he tear anyway? In this episode, we tackle the core question: Is kriyah a reaction to existing emotion, or a halachic tool meant to create that emotion? We explore the geder of kriyah in aveilus and for seeing the Makom HaMikdash, based on the sugya in Moed Katan and Rav Moshe Feinstein's teshuvah in Igros Moshe. A clear breakdown of the lomdus and how it plays out in halacha lemaaseh.

Moed Katan 13a: Geder of the Knas

היעדר מלקות על מלאכה בחול המועד אינו רק שאלה טכנית, אלא מגלה פתח לעיון בעצם מהות האיסור:מה טיבו של איסור מלאכה בימי חולו של מועד?האם הוא מדאורייתא גמור, או שמא מדרבנן בלבד?ואם מן התורה הוא – מדוע אין בו עונש מלקות?נעמוד על דברי הגמרא, ונעמיק בדברי הרמב"ן, התוספות, הריטב"א ועוד ראשונים, שביארו כי עצם השאלה אם לוקין תלויה בגדרו של האיסור – האם הוא לאו ממש, או שמא מכלל מצוות עשה של שמירת החג?נעסוק גם בלשון הפסוקים – "ושמרת את חג המצות" – האם היא נאמרה כלאו, כרמז, או כלשון של אזהרה כללית?פרק זה נוגע בשורש הסוגיא: האם איסור מלאכה בחול המועד דומה לשבת ויום טוב, או שמא יש לו אופי אחר לחלוטין – איסור שיסודו בקדושת הזמן, אך דינו קל יותר?עיון למדני שדורש הבנה עמוקה בדברי הראשונים – ולומד מתוך השמטה של מלקות את עצם מהותו של האיסור.

Moed Katan 11b: שיטת הרמב"ם בעניין איסור מלאכה בחול המועד

Is a porch or outdoor balcony obligated in the mitzvah of ma'akeh—the Torah command to build a safety railing? In this episode, we explore the classic sources, including the Sifri, Ritva, and Chazon Ish, and examine the major halachic debate between lenient and stringent views. We'll also clarify the difference between halachic obligation and safety requirement, whether a bracha is recited, and what practical steps homeowners should take today.

Automatic Watering on Shemitah: Allowed or Not?Can you leave your sprinkler system running during Shemitah? What if it's automatic and set up before the year began? In this episode, we look at whether using an irrigation system is allowed, and under what conditions. We break down the difference between watering to keep plants alive vs. helping them grow—and how that affects the halacha. Straightforward, clear, and practical—everything you need to know about keeping your lawn or field watered during Shemitah.

Breaking the News on Yomtov: When a Relative Passes AwayIf a close relative passes away during Yomtov, should you tell the mourner right away—or wait until after Yomtov so it doesn't ruin their simcha? In this episode, we explore the halachic and emotional balance between kavod hameis and kavod hachai. We go through the sources that discuss whether to inform the person, when to delay, and what's considered the right approach in different situations. Sensitive, practical, and clear—this is a must-know topic for anyone navigating the intersection of aveilus and Yomtov.
