Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain

The eighth chapter of Zevachim deals with when items that hold different statuses get mixed in with one another so that they become indistinguishable from each other. What happens then? The fact that the rabbis ask such questions speaks to their ability and interest in dealing with human fallibility. But what is the logic behind their prescriptions? Zevachim perek 8

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain

The mishnah on Zevahim 66b discusses whether the sin of me’ilah - misappropriation of consecrated goods - applies to a korban hatat (sin offering) that has become invalid. This is an opportune time to discuss the trespass known as me’ilah. What does it entail? What religious ill does it represent?

And what is the position of Ralbag, who disagrees? Join us as we exlpore the mystery of the mizbach hanechoshet.

Zevachim 60b discusses whether the original sanctification of Jerusalem still obtains without a Mikdash (temple). This parallels another debate among the rabbis as to whether the entire land of Israel is still considered sanctified even after two exiles. These discussions reveal what the source of the kedusha (sanctity) of Jerusalem and the land of Israel are - an important theological question!

The korban chatat is clearly for accidental transgressions that would be worthy of the punishment of karet (excision) if one committed them purposely. But what is the korban asham for?

What is the Torah’s true attitude toward blood?

On the one hand, the blood of the korbanot in the Beit Hamikdash is sprinkled upon the altar and brings atonement. On the other hand, the blood of animals and birds schechted outside the Beit Hamikdash must be covered.

And what about the blood of Abel that cries out? The blood of the brit? “Do not stand idly by your neighbor’s blood”?

All this and more in the next episode.
