Peshischa on the Parsha: Our Eyes and our Bodies - Jan 10, 2020 - We learned a real-life story of Rav Simcha Bunim, when he was on his deathbed. He spoke to his grandchildren saying that like Yitzchak and Yaakov who couldn’t see, needed to connect through hugs and kisses, showing the importance of eye contact. We then learned about Yaakov Avinu’s ability to turn his body into an independent holy decision maker (by crossing his arms), much like Dovid HaMelech, whose legs brought him to shul despite thinking he wanted to go elsewhere.

Halacha from Gemara: Bava Metzi’a 29b - Jan 10, 2020 - In the first class of the series we began discussing the halachos of hashavas aveidah, returning a lost item. We learned and discussed a Mishnah which explains that a person who is holding on to a lost object has a responsibility to protect the item but also any liability for ruining the item. We left off asking what the Mishnah means when it says that one is not obligated -in some circumstances- to care for a lost item. We hope to discuss this situation in detail next week.
