Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe Chumash presents the sin of piggul as eating a korban past its allotted time. Chazal, however, explain it as intending to eat (or do other parts of the worship) past the allotted time. How should we understanding this difference? In this shiur, we will examine a few approaches to the gap between peshat (=plain contextual meaning) and derash (=rabbinic interpretation) and will understand more about the world of korbanot in the process.Menachot 11b, 13aDr. 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.The _omer_ sacrifice, brought on the second day of Pesach, renders chadash (new grain) permissible to eat. Or, at least, that's what we thought -- until, as we begin Masechet Menachot, we encounter the position of R. Yochanan and Reish Lakish, who contest that assumption. What, then, permits chadash? And what, for them, is the significance of the ome sacrifice? Join us for our first Gefet of this masechet, as we enter into a new set of halakhic concepts: the prohibition of chadash and the korban haomer.Gefet Ep 203Menachot 5Gefet 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 HainThe korban mincha (flour offering) is presented at the outset of Vayikra between the korban olah (fully burnt offering) and the korban shelamim (peace offering, eaten partially by the altar, partially by the owners and partially by the kohanim). In Vayikra 6:10, the korban mincha is compared to both the korban chatat (sin offering) and the korban asham (guilt-offering). So, what exactly is the korban mincha? What is flour doing in a world of meat offerings? How does the mincha fit into the symbolism of korbanot?Menachot 2bDr. 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 HainThe mishnah which opens the fourteenth perek of Zevahim is crystal clear: when there is a Temple in Jerusalem, bamot (private altars) are forbidden. Moreover, even after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, bamot are still forbidden. So how is it that there was a Jewish Temple in Egypt called the Temple of Onias even as the Second Temple stood? In this shiur, we will examine how Chazal assess it.Zevachim chapter 14Dr. 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 HainChapter 13 of Zevachim discusses the prohibitions of slaughtering and sacrificing korbanot outside of the azarah. Centralizing worship of God, at least sacrificial worship, is the core value of this perek. What can we learn from this approach about religion itself?

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainIn the very middle pesukim of the Torah, Moshe and Aharon argue over the laws of aninut, the period between the loss and the burial of a loved one: Moshe thinks Aharon and his sons should eat the korban hatat meat in the aftermath of the death of Nadav and Avihu, but Aharon disagrees and has already gone ahead and burned it. Aharon’s approach becomes our north star for the laws of aninut. But what is the character of aninut exactly? How does it differ from shiva, for example?Zevachim 101 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 HainThe eleventh chapter of Zevachim deals with cleaning up blood spatter from clothing and washing out or breaking vessels that have absorbed sacrificial material.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurThe garments of the Kohen atone for many transgressions. What kind of atonement is this? Is it atonement without the sinner’s awareness? And if such atonement truly exists, how did we end up exiled from our land? after all, the garments of the Kohen were constantly atoning for all the most serious transgressions? This question stands in the background of our discussion this week.

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe Gemara mentions the concept of אין עניות במקום עשירות - there is no poverty in a place of wealth - in context of the Mikdash (Temple). This generally means that it is better to spend more money than to be thrifty when it comes to the Mikdash. This is is fascinating concept and raises questions about the value of spending - and also the value of saving - in Jewish life. What are its implications for Jewish life today?Zevachim 88Dr. 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 HainIn the opening of the ninth perek (chapter) of Zevahim, we are introduced to the concept that even an invalid offering that is put on the altar, should be burned there rather than being removed. What is the logic behind this? Is the holiness of the altar somehow contagious, and it gets transferred even to an invalid sacrifice? What can we learn from this concept?Zevachim 83Dr. 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 shiurThe Mishnah presents a dispute between Rabbi Shimon and the Sages regarding whether it is possible to reduce the permissible time for eating consecrated offerings. That is, when there is a mixture of two sacrifices—one that only priests may eat for a limited time, and another that non-priests may eat for a longer period—may one treat the shelamim as though it were an asham, thereby resolving the problem of the mixture? Rabbi Shimon rules that this is permissible, while the Sages disagree. What is the full scope of Rabbi Shimon’s position? Abaye proves in the Gemara that Rabbi Shimon spoke of such permission even lechatchila. The Rishonim disagree in explaining Abaye’s proof for Rabbi Shimon. Join us as we study and uncover this debate, which—surprisingly—turns out to hinge on a textual variant in the Mishnah in Ma’aser Sheni.Gefet Ep 199Zevachim 76 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 HainThe eighth chapter of Zevachim deals with when items that hold different statuses get mixed in with one another so that they become indistinguishable from each other.
