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

The Gemara mentions the concept of a person being already under oath to keep the mitzvot from Har Sinai. This leads to any oath one makes to keep or not to keep mitzvot to be considered a futile oath. But where does this concept of מושבע ועומד מהר סיני come from, and what deeper meaning does it offer about the permanence of the covenant between God and Israel?

What is the “heart of the Beit Din”? And can synagogue furniture be used for a Bat Mitzvah?

Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval discuss a halachic concept about changing the designated use of a donation — in the Gemara, a living animal dedicated as a sacrifice; in our times, donations for sacred use. They explore the ability (or inability) to repurpose such items, what happens when they’re unused, and the principle known as “the heart of the Beit Din.”

Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval explore the tension between the value of swearing an oath and the halachic preference to refrain from it. What’s the role of oaths in Jewish law, in the courtroom, and even in the army? And what did Rabbi Chaim David HaLevi have to say about it?

The first mishnah in Shevuot discusses the korban oleh ve’yored, a korban chatat that is brought of different food material depending on one’s finances.
