Welcome to the Three Hundred Thirty Sixith episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Michael Pitkowsky looks at Masechet Pesachim Daf 77.

One of the central steps in the offering of sacrifices was the spilling of blood on the altar. Today’s daf addresses different aspect of this requirement and possible reasons why this was understood to be so important.
