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

Ever accidentally have a drop of milchig (dairy) fall into a large pot of fleishig (meat)? The reason that poses a kashrut question is because of the ruling of טעם כעיקר - the taste is like the food item itself. In this shiur, we will probe that concept - what is its source, and what is its logic? Is its status Biblical or Rabbinic?

Avodah Zarah 67

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurHalakhah forbids not only yayin nesech (libated wine), but also regular Gentile wine — and even wine that was handled by a Gentile. We’ll attempt to make sense of this prohibition, which Chazal call stam yeinam: if it’s just regular wine, why is it prohibited? And in which situations does the prohibition in fact apply?Gefet Ep 190Avodah zarah 58Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurThe sugya deals with situations in which some result is the effect of two causes, one of which is permitted and one prohibited… how are we to view such a case? Does it matter what caused the reality before me, and if so, under what circumstances can I ignore the contribution of the issur?Gefet Ep 189Avodah zarah 39Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurOur sugya teaches that the prohibition of avodah zarah includes a prohibition to replicate a human form. We’ll attempt to understand what’s behind this prohibition, as well as to understand its ramifications: is portraiture allowed? What about photography? Might there be a halakhic problem with buying humanlike dolls for my children?Gefet Ep 188Avodah zarah 43Gefet 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 HainWhat is the logic behind the prohibition of gentiles touching Jewish wine?

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainIn grappling with the persistence of pagan worship and its idols, the rabbis offer the concept: עולם כמנהגו נוהג. This concept is used to explain not only the persistence of idolatry, but why God does not intervene to stop natural consequences of bad deeds, such as adultery or theft. What does this concept truly mean, and how does it relate to the concept of השגחה אלוקית, Divine Providence?Avodah Zarah 54bDr. 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 shiurThe sugya deals with the challenging topic of Etnan Zonah (the payment to a prostitute). Rashi and Tosafot interpret the sugya against the backdrop of a well-known and important dispute between Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish regarding acquisition (kinyan). From their words, it appears that Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish disagree on how acquisition works according to the Torah, and it is clear to both of them that acquisition by a Jew is different from that of the nations of the world.Why should there be a difference between the modes of acquisition for Jews versus other nations?We will study this dispute together and examine a fascinating proposal on this matter by Rabbi Samson Raphael HirschGefet Ep 187 Avodah zarah 63Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.
