Today's shiur is dedicated by Gitta Neufeld in honor of the daf yomi learners of Long Island and as a zechut for all the sick people.

The gemaara continues to resolve the contradiction between two sources relating to a zav going out into the public domain wearing a pouch tied on to him - one says it is forbidden by Torah law and one by rabbinic. Does it matter if he is wearing it to keep his clothes from getting dirty? The gemara concludes that whether or not it is forbidden by rabbinic or Torah law is dependent on the debate Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Shimon regarding a melacha she'aina tzricha l'egufa. Can one walk out wearing one's tefillin close to Shabbat? Why is it forbidden to remove lice from clothing on Shabbat- is it because one may kill them or because one needs good light and may come to move the candle (and then it would only be forbidden at night). Can one visit sick people on Shabbat? Can one ask for one's needs in Aramaic? Can one pray for sick people in Aramaic? Why would it matter? Are there circumstances where one is allowed to read by candlelight on Shabbat?

Study Guide Shabbat 11

Today's shiur is dedicated in memory of Sima bat Alter Avraham and Rachel z"l by her niece Debbie Schreiber.

The gemara continues to bring a number of different statements made by Rava bar Mechasia in the name of Rav. The gemara then goes back to our mishna - does someone who learns Torah need to stop learning for prayer? For Shema? The mishna lists things that one can't do before Shabbat, like a tailor carrying his needles, lest he come to also do it after Shabbat. The gemara brings the mishna in Eruvin regarding domains and asks if it also relates to a karmelit - Abaye says yes and Rava says no - since a karmelit is already only rabbinic and the rabbis wouldn't make a rabbinic decree on a rabbinic decree. Several questions including one from our mishna are brought to question Rava.

Shabbat 10 Mar 15, 2020

Today's shiur is dedicated in memory of Emanuel Plotker - Menachem Mendel ben Yechiel and Henya z"l by Candace Plotzker-Herman.

How should one dress for prayer? Does it depend on the situation? If one prays for a long time, is it a problem that it detracts from the time one should be learning? When is it considered that one started judgement and does not need to stop to pray mincha? Should one judge all day long? What time of day was the first meal eaten? Different categories of people ate at different specific times. Can one pray in a bathhouse? Under what circumstances? Why can't one greet a friend in the inner room of the bathhouse? Can one say the word "emunah" in a bathhouse? If one gives a gift to another, one should tell the friend. From where is this derived? One should not favor one child over another - learned out from Jacob who favored Joseph. One should settle in a newer developed city as there are less sins there- this is learned out from Tzoar and S'dom.

Study Guide Shabbat 9

The Tosefta brings the opinion of Acherim, Rabbi Meir, who holds that the status of the threshold depends on whether the door os open or closed. The gemara asks how this could be even without a lechi? The gemara brings two answers - in each answer there is some sort of beam above and it is either for an alley or for a house. It is based upon a law that explains that one can view a beam as if it comes down and creates an imaginary wall. However that will only work upon certain conditions. If the threshold itself is private, one cannot carry from the house to there as the rabbis forbade carrying from one private domain to another. The next mishna discusses things one cannot do just before the time for mincha arrives as one may get distracted and forget to daven mincha. Which mincha are we referring to - gedola or ketana? If one started, one doesn't need to stop - what is considered "started"?

Shabbat 8 Mar 13, 2020

Show notes

If one threw an object from a public domain to a pole in a private domain, even if the pole is very tall, one is obligated for passing from a public to a private domain. Does this match Rebbi's opinion regarding one who throw an item onto a protrusion? Abaye says they are not the same as the details of the case are different and the debate between Rebbi and the rabbis is on a different topic. Abaye brings a case where one throws a rounded basket from a private domain to a public domain. Does it depend on the size? Upon what else does it depend? Does it matter if it is thrown right size up or upside down (because of laws of levud)? How does one calculate the 4x4 width in a circular item? Ulla brings a case of a pole nine tefachim tall and says that since people use it to readjust their loads, it is considered public space. Would the same be true for a hole nine tefachim deep? There is a disagreement. Rava thinks it is not the same as using a hole to store things is not so convenient. Several questions are brought against Rava. What is the law regarding a threshold - does it depend on its size?

Study Guide Shabbat 7

Shoshana (Rhoda) bat Yehuda Leib Polachek z"l.

Why is a valley mentioned in the Tosefta like a carmelit but in the mishna is Taharot, it is listed a a private domain? Gwo answers are brought. What is a karpaf and what are the laws relating to carrying in it? If there is a brick standing up in a public domain and it's 3 tefachim tall, if one throws something 4 amot in public and it lands there, is one obligated? What about other spaces in the public space that people don't generally walk through - ar they considered public or not? A karmelit is until 10. What is the meaning of that? What law of karmelit are like a public space and what are like a private space? If a space has walls 9 tefachim tall but the ceiling is one tefach thick, what are the laws regarding that space? What if one dug a whole one tefach deep and 4x4 wide in that space? This is called chorei reshut hayachid. What are the laws regarding chorei reshut harabim - holes in public areas. Rava and Abaye disagree and Abaye's opinion is questioned.

Study Guide Shabbat 6

Today's shiur is sponsored by Meryl and Harold Sasnowitz in memory of Malka bat Chaya Ettel and Mordechai and Toba Raizel bat Rochel and Zvi. Refuah Sheleima to Zvi ben Freida.

If one removes an item from the public domain to the private domain (or the reverse) through a collonade (status of karmelit), is one obligated or not? Debate between Ben Azai and the rabbis. The gemara questions the rabbis opinion who obligates - where do we have a precedent for obligated in a case like this? The gemara brings three answers - the first two are rejected as they are not similar enough. Rabbi Yochanan narrows Ben Azai's opinion and said he agrees with the rabbis that one would be obligated if one threw it and it only passed through the airspace of the collonade. The gemara quotes the Tosefta which defines each of the four domains and what is allowed or not by Torah and rabbinic law. The gemara then analyzes the wording - questions and then provides answers.

Study Guide Shabbat 5

Today's shiur is sponsored by Betsy Mehlman and the Mehlman family in memory of their father and grandfather z"l.

The gemara continues to bring answers and challenge them to the question: how did the minsha bring cases where one is obligated if the item was uprooted and placed in someone's hand and not from/in a space of four by four handsbreaths? The gemara brings six answers and rejects them all, other than the last - of Rava - that a person's hand is significant like a space of 4x4. The gemara brings various laws stated by Rabbi Yochanan regarding similar cases - throwing items in the public domain to someone else, throwing and catching it oneself in a different place than one intended originally, taking rainwater from someone else's domain and bringing it into the public domain, taking food that one intended to move around the house but then took them outside. In all these cases - is one obligated or not? On what circumstances does it depend?

Study Guide Shabbat 4

Today's shiur is sponsored by Rebecca Schwarzmer in honor of her beloved grandmother Frances Rabitz Brauner, Fruma Malka bat Avraham v'Penina z"l.

Why in our mishna are they obligating even if the space where the object is placed and also uprooted from is not 4x4 tefachim? Rabba suggests that the mishna is authored by Rabbi Akiva who does not need it to rest in a place that is 4x4 tefachim as Rabbi Akiva holds if one throws and object from a private domain to another private domain through the public domain, one is obligated since going through airspace is as if it rested there. From here one can say he does not hold that it needs to rest on a space of 4x4. Two questions are raised against this answer. Rav Yosef suggests the mishna is authored by Rebbi and the gemara tries to figure out which opinion of Rebbi is he referring to. They bring two suggestinos but each is rejected.

Study Guide Shabbat 3

Today's shiur is sponsored by Eva Schweber and Rabbi Daniel Schweber in memory of their father, Ken Schweber, Yaakov Kapel ben Moshe and Rivka, z"l.

The mishna says there are eight cases - but there seem to be twelve or sixteen, depending on how you count. Which were the eight that the mishna meant - why were only those counted? Shmuel says that whenever the rabbis say exempt (patur) regarding Shabbat issues and it means exempt by the Torah but prohibited by the rabbis, other than three cases. Are there other exceptions? Why if two people do a melacha together, are they each exempt from bringing a sin offering? Abaye asks if when one's hand is in the airspace of another domain while carrying something, is one's hand considered in a karmelit and one would be forbidden by rabbinic law to return one's hand to the original domain? Two contradictory braitot are brought to suggest that perhaps the tannaim debated exactly this issue - however several other possibilities are brought - all of which would not be able to be used to answer the question.
