Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe Gemara on Chullin 50a raises the rule of thumb that the halacha follows the more lenient view in cases of mourning.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.At the beginning of the chapter Eilu Tereifot, a surprising dispute appears: Can a tereifah live, or can a tereifah not live? The Mishnah presents a general rule that a tereifah cannot live, yet the Gemara immediately raises the possibility that this is actually a matter of disagreement.How can there even be a dispute like this? Why not simply test it and see whether these injuries are fatal or not?Join us for a short and eye-opening Gemara study on this opening sugya.Gefet Ep 220Chullin 42Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe Gemara discusses whether one can render someone else’s property forbidden, e.g., by slaughtering their cow for the sake of idolatry. What is the logic behind this question? What does ownership have to do with it? Does this logic apply in other arenas of halakha besides for avodah zara?Chullin 40Dr. Elana Stein Hain – [email protected] more Din and Daf: https://hadran.org.il/channel/din-daf/

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.Our sugya raises the possibility — a possibility that seems implausible to several Amoraim — that it might be easier to be a Jew than to be a Gentile. Might there be some behaviors permitted to a Jew that would be forbidden if she were a Gentile? Through the Tosafot on our sugya, we’ll explore this question and the theological issues it raises: is the particular covenant between the Jewish people and God a supplement to or a replacement of God’s initial covenant with all of humanity?Gefet Ep 219Chullin 33Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe Gemara in Chullin 33a discusses the rabbinic resolution that hands require washing before eating terumah. The reason behind this exposes rabbinic awareness that people are just people. We are forgetful and may not always notice what we are doing. This a cornerstone of rabbinic thought.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainIn a number of places, Chullin discusses an opinion that the requirement to slaughter a bird is from the scribes (divrei soferim) rather than from the Torah. What does this mean? What is this concept of divrei Soferim? What does it teach us about the role of people in understanding Torah law?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.Our sugya takes us, via Tosafot, into a discussion of the nature of the prohibition of chametz on Pesach – what does it mean to “benefit” from something? And, more concretely – to whose dogs can (or can’t) I feed my chametz?Gefet Ep 218Chullin 23Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe Gemara discusses a debate over the concept of “the majority is like the whole.” Where does this principle come from, and what is it about?

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.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe Gemara discusses the principle of ברירה - whether an uncertain future that will unfold can be used to define an action that is being done in the present. What is the logic behind this suggestion? What does it tell us about the relationship between present and future?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.Today’s sugya tells a story in which one of the main characters is referred to as “hahu sabba” (“a certain elder”). Tosafot, in a departure from their traditional focus on the analytical and the halakhic, ask: who is this mysterious elder? And does every reference to “hahu sabba” – there are dozens throughout Shas – refer to the same person? Join us as we explore this historical and literary mystery.Gefet Ep 216Chullin 7Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.
