Shevuot 4 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-05 Wherever it says in the Torah, “be careful,” “lest,” or “do not,” it is nothing but a negative prohibition, and incurs lashes. Expounding verses using the method of amplifications and limitations vs generalisations and specifications.

Makkot 23 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-05-01 The power of abstaining from a sin. If one who refrains from consuming blood, from which a person is repulsed, is still rewarded, then one who refrains from theft and immorality, which a person desires and covets– all the more so will earn merit for himself, for his generations, and his generations’ generations, until the end of generations.

Makkot 19 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-04-27 Maaser sheni, firstborn animals and bikkurim in Jerusalem nowadays. Impure maaser sheni can even be redeemed inside Jerusalem. If a person’s load of maaser sheni is inside Jerusalem but he is outside, or the reverse.
