Episode 13: A Literal Flaming Serpent? Rosh Hashana 3:7-8

from Mishna Accomplished · host Rabba Aliza Libman Baronofsky

Today’s mishnas talk about intention when performing a mitzvah, and about the role of symbolic actions in two famous stories in the Torah. The mishna tells us three categories of people who cannot blow the shofar for others, which leads to a brief discussion of how to tackle exclusionary content. You can find these mishnas on Sefaria here.  I use a lot of Hebrew terms when I'm talking. Check out my glossary here.  Are you enjoying the podcast?
