Daily Daf Differently: Masechet Shabbat

Shabbat, Daf 117


Listen Later


Welcome to the Hundred and Sixteenth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Justin David looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 117. What is more “holy,” fulfilling halakhah as a dictate from heaven, or satisfying human needs through pragmatic wisdom and ingenuity? Some of the most compelling Talmudic thinking meets at the nexus between the two. On this daf, we see heavenly holiness and pragmatic holiness come together around a seemingly arcane circumstance.

Justin David is Rabbi of Congregation B’nai Israel in Northampton, MA, where boardmeetings have been canceled when Dylan plays in town. For the past three years, hehas served as Rabbi-in-Residence of Camp Yofi, a program for families with childrenon the autism spectrum at Ramah Darom.

The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
