Welcome to the Two Hundred Nintey First episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Robert Scheinberg looks at Masechet Pesachim Daf 32.

How are penalties different for an inadvertent infraction and a deliberate infraction? What happens if someone is liable for a range of penalties? And how do we understand the penalty of mitah biy’dei shamayim, “Death at the hands of heaven”?
