Shabbat 70 - May 15, 21 Iyar May 15, 2020

Today's shiur is dedicated for a refuah shleima for Netanel Ilan ben Shayna Tzipora and by Judy Shapiro in honor of all her children.

Why is there a difference between if one forgot it was Shabbat one brings one sacrifice and if one forgot melachot one brings a sacrifice for each? From where do we derive that one brings a separate sacrficie for each melacha that one performed? Shmuel brings a source and the gemara assesses why he did not bring one of the two sources offered by the tannaim Rabbi Natan and Rabbi Yosi. Rabbi Natan and Rabbi Yosi debate why the verse regarding fire was singled out - was it to create a paradigm for all the melachot or was it singled out because it is different (less stringent than all the others)? What does Rabbi Yosi derive from the words "from one from these?" How many sacrifices does one bring if one forgot it was Shabbat and forgot that melachot were forbidden? If one did two melachot two times - once forgetting it was Shabbat and once forgetting melachot and finds out about one before the other, can one sacrifice cover all the actions? Different permutations are brought.

Today's shiur is dedicated for a refuah shleima for Netanel Ilan ben Shayna Tzipora.

What are the different approaches to one who sins unwittingly - what about the prohibition was forgotten? Munbaz holds that one knew it was forbidden and knew the punishment for doing it on purpose but didn't know that one is obligated to bring a sacrifice for performing it unwittingly. The rabbis disagree and rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish disagree about whether one was unwitting about the prohibition or about the punishment for the prohibition (karet). Abaye compares two other cases where one is also obligated if one did it unwittingly but there is no punishment of karet if it was performed intentionally. He says that all agree in those cases (swearing falsely and a non priest who ate truma). Who is all - the rabbis and Munbaz or Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish. Rava disagrees with Abaye in the case of truma. If one is in the desert and lost track of days, how does one keep Shabbat?

Study Guide Shabbat 68

Today's daf is sponsored by Natalie Taylor in memory of Rabbanit Rachel Taylor z"l whose 90th birthday would have been on Lag Baomer and for all her descendants to continue learning Torah. It is also sponsored by Ruti Amal for a refuah shleima for Rachel Permouth who is ungergoing a serious surgery today.

How many sin offerings is one obligated in the case where one forgot that there was a concept of Shabbat and did "work" on Shabbat over a course of many weeks/years? What if one forgot that today was Shabbat? What if one knew it was Shabbat but forgot that one cannot do melacha? The mishna details the laws in each case and calls it "a big rule." Why does it use that language? Where else is that language used? Rav anf Shmuel disagree with Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish regarding the case of a tinok shenishba (a young child taken captive by non Jews) or a convert who lived only among non Jews (or possibly converted among non Jews) and never knew abotu the concept of Shabbat. The gemara grapples with each opinion. Basic issues underly the discussion such as where is the border between shogeg (unwitting) and ones (entirely not responsible)? Why is knowledge so important?

Shabbat 67 - May 12, 18 Iyar, Lag Baomer May 12, 2020

Show notes

Today's shiur is dedicated for a refuah shleima for Ilana Leah bat Esther and David Binyamin ben Duba Feiga by Candace Plotsker-Herman.

The gemara continues to list incantations for various diseases or to protect from evil spirits. The mishna deals with carrying out objects that are used as segulot for protection. Rabbi Meir allows them and the rabbis forbid using them even on a weekday, as they are methods used by the Emorim, non Jews whose ways we are forbidden to follow. Abaye and Rava says that if they are used for medicinal purposes one is allowed to follow ways of non Jews. There is a debate whether or not some of these things are actually idol worship. Can we use any incantations or other methods mentioned in the gemara nowadays? Where does one draw the line between incantations and prayer?

Today's shiur is dedicated for a refuah shleima for Netanel Ilan ben Shayna Tzipora who is undergoing surgery today.

Can one go out on Shabbat with a prosthetic leg. The mishna discusses a number of different types of things that one who doesn't have a leg might be using and can they go out with it on Shabbat, are they susceptible to impurity of midras (an item one sits/leans on), are they consdiered a shoe as regards various laws that relate to shoes (forbidden to wear them in the azara of the temple, chalitza needs to be performed with a shoe). If a prosthetic leg has a concave space to put pads, would it be susceptible to impurity because it has a receptacle? Rava and Abaye disagree regarding whether this is referring to regular impurity or impurity of midras. Each brings support for his opinion. Male children (and others) can go out with knots. Apparently they were used for sick people or even to prevent people from getting sick. The gemara explains that the mishna spoke about boys because it was known to help boys who had issues separating from their father (there are different explanations as to what this means). The gemara discusses other things that are allowed for medicinal purposes as well as commonly used segulot.

Today's daf and this week's learning is sponsored in memory of Betty Minsk, Batsheva Rut bat Shalom and Faige z"l, by her daughter, Elisa Hartstein.

Today's shiur is sponsored in memory of Rhonda Mlodinoff by Becca Nagorsky. And in honor of Mother's Day, in honor of Debbie Pine - Happy Mother's Day from your children. We are so proud of your dedication to Torah and Am Yisrael. Love, Sarah, Danielle & Zachary Orenshein. And by Karolyn Benger in honor of all the mothers who are learning and teaching.

Are things that are forbidden for concern about marit ayin, because of what others may see and misunderstand, also forbidden in private spaces? The gemara explains more in details about allowing to go out with cotton in ones ears, one's shoe and to protect from menstrual blood. Does it need to be tied to the body? Some rabbis did not and what was the reaction of others? Shmuel's father forbade his daughters a number of things - one of them permitted by the mishna. Why? The gemara suggests that another one was possibly connected to his approach to two females rubbing against each other in a sexual manner - however this is rejected. The gemara deals with a contradiction in the mishna regarding prerifa, fastening a cloak using a rock, coin or nut.

The gemara discusses different items that are susceptible to impurity even if they don't have a minimum size. With what items are women allowed to go out on Shabbat? Certain items that are forbidden to go out with in public are permitted in a courtyard and others are forbidden - although there is a debate regarding this. Why do women go out with jewelry even when it is clear that the rabbis forbade it?

Today's shiur is sponsored in memory of Edwin Gilberg, Issur Ben Menachem Mendel v'Shenka Sarah z"l by Judy and David Gilberg and Yosef Flesh ben Miriam and Yitzchak z"l by Nava Flesh.

Men are not allowed to go out on Shabbat wearing certain items and if they do, it is forbidden by Torah law. Which items? Are weapons considered like jewelry and are permitted or not? Ifin the times of the messiah there will no longer be weapons, does this prove the weapons are not considered like jewelry as they are only worn when needed? The gemara brings various drashot regarding Torah scholars who learn in the "right" way will be rewarded. Other statements are brought - what is the best way to give charity, why is someone who has a bad dog in one's house considered to be preventing chesed, and what is the verse in Kohelet "one should be happy in one's youth..." referring to? What is a "birit" mentioned in the mishna. How is it different from "kevalim"? From where do we derive that an item that is woven is suscpetible to impurities at a very small size? And the same for jewelry.

Study Guide Shabbat 62

The mishna mentions items that are forbidden by Torah law for a woman to carry in the public domain. Ulla explans that laws of what can and cannot be carried are opposite for men and women. The gemara brings two different explanations for his opinions. If a woman can't wear a signet ring, why is it forbidden by Torah law if she is wearing it and not carrying it in a normal manner, which would make it only rabbinic. There is a debate regarding weearing a satchel of herbs and a flask of balsam oil. The gemara brings verses from Amos relating to balsam oil and from there to verses in Yeshayahu, both discussing sins of the people and of the women's inappropriate behavior.

Study Guide Shabbat 61

If one has an injured foot, one can go out on Shabbat with one shoe on. On which foot - the injured one or the other one? Are shoes meant to prevent pain or for pleasure? Which shoe should one put on first - right or left? Why can't one walk out in tefillin - is the mishna within the opinion that people can or cannot wear tefillin on Shabbat? The gemara brings different possibilities regarding how to determine whether or not an amulet has proven successful? Does an amulet have sanctity - does one need to remove it before going to the bathroom?
