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

There is a debate about whether the result of an interaction between a prohibited and a permitted item should itself be prohibited or not. We generally rule that it should be permitted, but there are many qualifications! What is the logic behind this permissibility, and how is it limited?

The Gemara on Chullin 50a raises the rule of thumb that the halacha follows the more lenient view in cases of mourning. What is the logic behind this halakhic orientation? Is it always followed

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.

The 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?

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 219

The 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.

In 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?

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?

The 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?
