S2E12: The means, the end and the stolen lulav with Marc Silberstein (Sukkah 3:3-4)

My colleague Marc Silberstein joins me as we continue chapter 3. Today’s mishnas, Sukkah 3:3-4, lay out rules governing stolen, idolatrous, and fashimmeled* willow branches as well as the total number of myrtle and willow required. You can find them on Sefaria here. We discuss some of the bigger ideas behind stolen ritual items, including mitzvah ha’ba’a b’avera, a mitzvah that comes about as a result of a sin. *This is Yiddish.
