Welcome to the Hundred and Thirty First episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode,
Rabbi Marci Jacobs Aronchick looks at
Masechet Shabbat Daf 132. The discussion on this Daf asks us to consider what we do when our obligations for potentially contradictory
mitzvoth intersect. How do we decide which
mitzvah takes precedence? And in what ways, overall, do we look at our system of
mitzvoth and decide to prefer some over others?
