Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. What is the connection between a woman who marries and the family she originally came from? This question has many implications and is, of course, fascinating on a cultural level as well.Today’s sugiya opens up this question in relation to the identity of a daughter of a Kohen who marries an Israelite. Is she still considered, in certain respects, to belong to the priestly family? Or, once she marries an Israelite, does she lose her rights and her fundamental connection to the tribe of Levi?

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain What do we make of halacha borne of erroneous science from ancient times? In this shiur, we will attempt a response to this that helps us understand the foundation(s) of halacha.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. The Mishnah in the Daf Yomi tells us about a mouse that was born from the earth. Through the Mishnah, we will try to examine how we are supposed to think and what we are supposed to do when there is a gap between what Chazal say and write and what we know today from scientific knowledge.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. If my grandmother has trouble swallowing and Pesach is coming… can I ground up and dissolve matzah in water so that she can be yotzeh the mitzvah? How does halakhah define solid food that has dissolved or liquified – does it still count as “food” and is the act of consuming it halakhically defined as “eating”? Is the answer to that question different when it comes to prohibited foods and mitzvot that require eating? Join us as we explore these questions.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain In most cases, contact with a liquid is required in order to make food susceptible to tumah (even if the food has since dried off). This is called הכשר, preparation for becoming tameh. In this shiur, we’ll examine why this is the case, as well as how this fits into subtleties of where we seem to care about tumah of food today, such as urchatz at the seder.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. What does “dairy equipment” mean? Does pareve food cooked in a meat dish become meat? How, halakhically, do we understand dishwashers? Through today’s daf, we’ll explore questions that come up every day – in our supermarkets and in our kitchens.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain Jewish law not only forbids cooking meat and milk together, or consuming a cooked mixture, but even deriving benefit - such as feeding one’s animals or making money - off a mixture of milk and meat. While the Gemara from Chullin 114b and on will discuss this issue for a while - moving from universal reasons to reasons that are particular to the prohibition of milk and meat per se - in this shiur we will try to offer an overall logic for the notion that an item would prohibited not only for consumption but for deriving benefit.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The Gemara in Chullin 104a-b discusses that principle that the rabbis do not add a second decree on top of a first decree. What is the logic behind this? And is it always true? Chullin 104 Dr. Elana Stein Hain – dinanddaf@hadran.org.ilFor more Din and Daf: https://hadran.org.il/channel/din-daf/

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The debate in the Mishnah in Chullin 100b as to whether the sciatic nerve prohibition applies to non-kosher animals raises the question of whether two punishments (or even two disparate prohibitions?) can apply to the same item. What does this teach us about guilt, punishment and the nature of Torah prohibitions?

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.Our sugya uses an enigmatic word: kubiustus. We’ll follow Rashi’s and Tosafot’s attempt to explain the word in light of its context here as well as in light of several other sugyot – and we’ll examine the various methods and assumptions that interpreters of the gemara make in their attempts to translate obscure words.

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?
