Yevamot 33: Talmudic Clarity? Bait and Switch
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
More on simultaneous prohibitions. How the dispute between R. Hiya and Bar Kappara seems to ride on two different teachings by R. Yehudah HaNasi, respectively. But the difficulties in understanding these passages are purportedly resolved... And then left in place. Also, a new mishnah with a strange case: multiple levels of prohibition, perhaps the most possible for a sexual relationship... But then there's a practical case too. And a meta comment on how Halakhah is not designed for wicked people.
