Welcome to the Two Hundred Seventy First episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky looks at Masechet Pesachim Daf 12.
The Sages had no precise clocks. So when calculating when to stop eating hametz before Passover, they had to leave room for some margin of error. The same problem applied to testimony in criminal cases. How much margin of error can be tolerated in witnesses’ testimony? We will also discuss the modern philosophical problem of “falsifiability” and the Torah’s method of catching false witnesses.
This week, our study is led by Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky of Congregation Ansche Chesed in New York City.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
