Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain R. Shimon’s opinion in this week’s daf that ritual slaughter that does result in edible food (because, for instance, the animal itself may not be eaten) is linked to a verse about Yosef and his brothers. This raises the question about learning law from the narrative part of the Torah. In this shiur, we will probe the varied relationships between the narrative (esp. Bereshit) parts of the Torah its legal parts (esp. Vayikra and Devarim). Chullin 85 Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.ilFor more Din and Daf: https://hadran.org.il/channel/din-daf/

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. Is there a way to eat an animal without shchitah? Can meat and milk ever be eaten together in a way that halachah permits? Is there a halachic way to eat an animal's sciatic nerve? Can the forbidden fat (chelev) of an animal ever be permitted?Today, we'll examine the unique halachic status of the Ben Pekuah and explore the far-reaching halachic possibilities that it presents.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. Is a woman who is married to a kohen allowed to enter a cemetery while pregnant? Must she be concerned that the fetus might contract tum’ah while inside her? Our sugya introduces us to the concept of “tum’ah belu’ah,” or “encapsulated tum’ah.” Join us as we get to know this concept and the interpretive, conceptual and halakhic questions that it raises.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain Chullin 71a describes a phenomenon in which ritual impurity “breaks through” an enclosed space. What does this mean? It impurity consider a real force in nature, akin to electricity? Or is ritual impurity a legal convention created by our intentions for objects? Or maybe both???

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain Can modern science change practical halachah? The case of blood spots in eggs offers a remarkable example. This shiur examines the Talmudic sources, classic commentaries, and contemporary rulings to understand why today's psak differs from what many assume.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. Masechet Chullin takes us today to a set of aggadot that bring us back to the creation of the world and helps us examine the relationship between God and God’s creations, our aspiration for perfection, and reality as it is. What happens when we make independent decisions? Can God err?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. Our sugya takes a brief pause from the laws of treifot and turns to the special blessing bestowed upon the Kohen for blessing the people of Israel each day. We will seek to understand the nature of this blessing and explore how it affects a halakhic ruling in a challenging case: when a Kohen stands in the synagogue and declares that he does not wish to go up and bless the congregation.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain There is a debate about whether the result of an interaction between a prohibited and a permitted item should itself be prohibited or not. We generally rule that it should be permitted, but there are many qualifications! What is the logic behind this permissibility, and how is it limited?

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The Gemara on Chullin 50a raises the rule of thumb that the halacha follows the more lenient view in cases of mourning.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. At the beginning of the chapter Eilu Tereifot, a surprising dispute appears: Can a tereifah live, or can a tereifah not live? The Mishnah presents a general rule that a tereifah cannot live, yet the Gemara immediately raises the possibility that this is actually a matter of disagreement.How can there even be a dispute like this? Why not simply test it and see whether these injuries are fatal or not?Join us for a short and eye-opening Gemara study on this opening sugya.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The Gemara discusses whether one can render someone else’s property forbidden, e.g., by slaughtering their cow for the sake of idolatry. What is the logic behind this question? What does ownership have to do with it? Does this logic apply in other arenas of halakha besides for avodah zara?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. Our sugya raises the possibility — a possibility that seems implausible to several Amoraim — that it might be easier to be a Jew than to be a Gentile. Might there be some behaviors permitted to a Jew that would be forbidden if she were a Gentile? Through the Tosafot on our sugya, we’ll explore this question and the theological issues it raises: is the particular covenant between the Jewish people and God a supplement to or a replacement of God’s initial covenant with all of humanity?Gefet Ep 219 Chullin 33 Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The Gemara in Chullin 33a discusses the rabbinic resolution that hands require washing before eating terumah. The reason behind this exposes rabbinic awareness that people are just people. We are forgetful and may not always notice what we are doing. This a cornerstone of rabbinic thought.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain In a number of places, Chullin discusses an opinion that the requirement to slaughter a bird is from the scribes (divrei soferim) rather than from the Torah. What does this mean? What is this concept of divrei Soferim? What does it teach us about the role of people in understanding Torah law?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. Our sugya takes us, via Tosafot, into a discussion of the nature of the prohibition of chametz on Pesach – what does it mean to “benefit” from something? And, more concretely – to whose dogs can (or can’t) I feed my chametz? Gefet Ep 218 Chullin 23 Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The Gemara discusses a debate over the concept of “the majority is like the whole.” Where does this principle come from, and what is it about?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. What changes when we enter Israel? Do we become closer to holiness or further from it? At first glance, this seems to be the core dispute between Rabbi Yishmael and Rabbi Akiva. But as we’ll see, Rabbi Yishmael’s position is actually very difficult to understand. Why would something forbidden in the desert suddenly become permitted in the Land of Israel? Does Eretz Yisrael no longer carry the dangers of desire? Are the risks of idolatry gone?We’ll follow the debate between Rashi and Tosfot and attempt to offer a fresh explanation for the root of this fascinating machloket.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The Gemara discusses the principle of ברירה - whether an uncertain future that will unfold can be used to define an action that is being done in the present. What is the logic behind this suggestion? What does it tell us about the relationship between present and future?
