Shechita in the Desert and Entering the Land- Gefet

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.What changes when we enter Israel? Do we become closer to holiness or further from it? At first glance, this seems to be the core dispute between Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva. But as we’ll see, Rabbi Yishmael’s position is actually very difficult to understand. Why would something forbidden in the desert suddenly become permitted in the Land of Israel? Does Eretz Yisrael no longer carry the dangers of desire? Are the risks of idolatry gone?We’ll follow the debate between Rashi and Tosfot and attempt to offer a fresh explanation for the root of this fascinating machloket.Gefet Ep 217Chullin 15Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.
