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

The mishnah which opens the fourteenth perek of Zevahim is crystal clear: when there is a Temple in Jerusalem, bamot (private altars) are forbidden. Moreover, even after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, bamot are still forbidden. So how is it that there was a Jewish Temple in Egypt called the Temple of Onias even as the Second Temple stood? In this shiur, we will examine how Chazal assess it.

Chapter 13 of Zevachim discusses the prohibitions of slaughtering and sacrificing korbanot outside of the azarah. Centralizing worship of God, at least sacrificial worship, is the core value of this perek. What can we learn from this approach about religion itself?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur

In the discussion about Aharon's aninut after the death of his sons, the Gemara addresses the status of Moshe Rabeinu, was Moshe also a Kohen? How does the story of Miriam’s Tzaraat help us understand Moshes' status? Which difficulty remains unanswered in Tosafot on the page? Have good answers to this question been found? Join us in studying the verses of the Torah through the lens of the sugya.

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

In the very middle pesukim of the Torah, Moshe and Aharon argue over the laws of aninut, the period between the loss and the burial of a loved one: Moshe thinks Aharon and his sons should eat the korban hatat meat in the aftermath of the death of Nadav and Avihu, but Aharon disagrees and has already gone ahead and burned it. Aharon’s approach becomes our north star for the laws of aninut. But what is the character of aninut exactly? How does it differ from shiva, for example?

The eleventh chapter of Zevachim deals with cleaning up blood spatter from clothing and washing out or breaking vessels that have absorbed sacrificial material. This has to be done in the mikdash itself! Why? Is cleaning up a sacred act?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur

The garments of the Kohen atone for many transgressions. What kind of atonement is this? Is it atonement without the sinner’s awareness? And if such atonement truly exists, how did we end up exiled from our land? after all, the garments of the Kohen were constantly atoning for all the most serious transgressions? This question stands in the background of our discussion this week. Join us for a further exploration of the concept of atonement

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

The Gemara mentions the concept of אין עניות במקום עשירות - there is no poverty in a place of wealth - in context of the Mikdash (Temple). This generally means that it is better to spend more money than to be thrifty when it comes to the Mikdash. This is is fascinating concept and raises questions about the value of spending - and also the value of saving - in Jewish life. What are its implications for Jewish life today?

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

In the opening of the ninth perek (chapter) of Zevahim, we are introduced to the concept that even an invalid offering that is put on the altar, should be burned there rather than being removed. What is the logic behind this? Is the holiness of the altar somehow contagious, and it gets transferred even to an invalid sacrifice? What can we learn from this concept?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur

The Mishnah presents a dispute between Rabbi Shimon and the Sages regarding whether it is possible to reduce the permissible time for eating consecrated offerings. That is, when there is a mixture of two sacrifices—one that only priests may eat for a limited time, and another that non-priests may eat for a longer period—may one treat the shelamim as though it were an asham, thereby resolving the problem of the mixture? Rabbi Shimon rules that this is permissible, while the Sages disagree. What is the full scope of Rabbi Shimon’s position? Abaye proves in the Gemara that Rabbi Shimon spoke of such permission even lechatchila. The Rishonim disagree in explaining Abaye’s proof for Rabbi Shimon. Join us as we study and uncover this debate, which—surprisingly—turns out to hinge on a textual variant in the Mishnah in Ma’aser Sheni.
