Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Carl Perkins looks at Masechet Megillah Daf 15.

The Talmud is an associative work, and this page of Talmud illustrates this. On the page there is an interpretation of the meaning of an expression in the Megillah offered by Rabbi Eleazar in the name of Rabbi Hanina. This prompts the Talmud to offer a whole series of saying by Rabbi Eleazar in the name of Rabbi Hanina. One could look upon that series of sayings as a string of pearls. (I use that metaphor because one of those sayings describes how, when a pearl is lost, it isn’t really lost to itself, for it always remains a pearl; it is lost only to its owner.)

Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Carl Perkins looks at Masechet Megillah Daf 14.

Page 14 of Megillah continues a discussion (that can be found in the previous few pages) of the Book of Esther and the significance of reading the book (i.e., the “megillah”) on the holiday of Purim. We will focus on a short passage at the beginning of the daf in which the question is asked why we don’t recite the songs of Hallel (Psalms 113-118) on Purim to commemorate the redemption from the plot to destroy us, as we do when we commemorate the Exodus from Egypt?
