Shekalim 8: Wandering Where the Machatzit ha-Shekel Takes...

What this episode covers

A long, discursive daf. What happens to the shekalim of machatzit ha-shekel, when they get to Jerusalem? Also: What's What: Ma'aser Behemah. Which leads to a discussion re the proper dating for this mitzvah, and a machloket Tannaim. What year does the animal belong to, so to speak, and what is the date of tithing? Also, on the Tannaim themselves, and what it means to have a talmid-rebbe- friend relationship.... Also: Baskets marked indicating how they were marked. And the collector had to wear only clothes that couldn't inadvertently make off with the funds. This Gemara has one thing leading to the next, from machatzit haS-shekel to carrying on Shabbat to the 4 cups of Seder night. And spices wine... Plus, a matronita (Roman noble woman) story, wherein she is a foil to the shining glory of Torah, as seen on one's face.
