| Din & Daf: Divinely Gifted Holiness vs. Human-made Holiness | 07 Oct 2026 | 00:36:40 | |
Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain In the previous shiur we discussed essential and transactional holiness. This week, we add another layer of considering holiness - holiness that comes automatically (such as the holiness of a firstborn animal) and holiness that is human-made (such as consecrating an animal or something else to the Mikdash). How does this additional layer shed light on the concept of holiness? Bekhorot 19 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. Someone performed the mitzvah of Pidyon Peter Chamor on my donkey... Does it count? Can I sue them for “stealing” my mitzvah? Is the mitzvah of Peter Chamor specifically the responsibility of the donkey’s owner, or is there a unique halachic concept at play here?Join us as we explore the fascinating discussions surrounding these questions and uncover the deeper principles behind the mitzvah of Peter Chamor.

| What Is Kedushah? (And How Is It Removed?) - Gefet | 20 Sep 2026 | 00:27:34 | |
Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. The word “holiness” is one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking concepts in the religious world. Masechet Bekhorot opens with a dispute between Rashi and Tosafot that invites us to think deeply about what holiness really means, and how we can, and should bring it into our everyday lives.Join us as we explore the meaning of holiness and, in anticipation of the holy day, take a closer look at what it means to live with kedushah.

| Consecrated Birds and Shiluach HaKen - Gefet | 16 Sep 2026 | 00:24:58 | |
Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. Does the mitzvah of shiluach haken apply to consecrated birds? The mishnah tells us it does not, and the gemara discusses the source of this legal principle. Rashi and Tosafot debate how to understand this derasha – join us as we explore the methodological and textual underpinnings of this machloket.

| The Halakhic Status of a Bat Kohen | 09 Sep 2026 | 00:30:25 | |
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.

| Spontaneous Generation: Chazal, Science, and Halacha - Gefet | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:30:59 | |
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.

| What Does it Mean to “Eat”? - Gefet | 28 Aug 2026 | 00:29:43 | |
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: What Is הכשרה לטומאה All About? | 26 Aug 2026 | 00:31:29 | |
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: What is the Logic Behind Issur Hanaa | 19 Aug 2026 | 00:30:43 | |
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.

| Law and Narrative in the Torah: How are they related? | 20 Jul 2026 | 00:33:52 | |
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/ | |||

| Ben Pekuah: Kosher Meat Without Shechitah?- Gefet | 15 Jul 2026 | 00:28:20 | |
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.

| Tum’ah Belu’ah: May a Woman Pregnant with a Kohen Enter a Cemetery?- Gefet | 10 Jul 2026 | 00:30:02 | |
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.

| “Atone for Me” – Does God Need Forgiveness?- Gefet | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:30:34 | |
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.

| Can A Tereifa Live?- Gefet | 12 Jun 2026 | 00:23:49 | |
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?

| Jewish and Gentile Law: Is It Ever Easier to be a Jew?- Gefet | 04 Jun 2026 | 00:35:24 | |
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?

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?

| Shechita in the Desert and Entering the Land- Gefet | 17 May 2026 | 00:41:38 | |
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.

Tosafot, in a departure from their traditional focus on the analytical and the halakhic, ask: who is this mysterious elder? And does every reference to “hahu sabba” – there are dozens throughout Shas – refer to the same person? Join us as we explore this historical and literary mystery.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. As part of the discussion about the showbread table, there’s a striking teaching that compares the altar and the atonement it brings to something much closer to home: our own dining table.At first, that sounds surprising. The Temple is all about standing before God… while the dinner table seems centered on something far more physical, our hunger, our daily needs.So why draw this connection?Join us as we dive into this fascinating teaching and uncover what it reveals about the deeper meaning- the hidden secret of eating.

| Din & Daf: Performing Mitzvot of One’s Own Volition - סמיכה בקרבנות as test case | 13 Apr 2026 | 00:34:10 | |
Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain In this week’s daf (Menachot 93a-b), the mishnah declares that women do not lay their hands (semicha) on their korbanot. This seems to be the position within mishnah, as corroborated in Kiddushin (36a, Mishnah 1:8). However, in another tannaitic source - the Sifra (Midrash Halakha on Vayikra) - R. Yose and R. Shimon are cited as saying that women may choose to lay their hands (semicha) on their korbanotץ Their approach introduces an important rabbinic concept - רשות - volitional acts. It also serves as precedent in the Bavli for women’s volitional performance of mitzvot that are understood as not required of them. In this shiur, we will examine both of these dimensions.

| Din & Daf: Pesach Mitzrayim and Pesach Dorot | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:34:43 | |
Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain The mishnah bases the prohibition to buy required korbanot from ma’aser sheni money (=i.e., money used to redeem ma’aser sheni produce) on the korban Pesach. After all, in both Egypt and in the desert, people did not yet separate ma’aser sheni, so they certainly did not use the money to buy the animals for these korbanot. This leads the Gemara into a discussion about the similarities between the Pesach in Egypt, known as Pesach Mitzraim, and the way Pesach is observed for all time, known as Pesach Dorot. In this shiur, we will examine layered relationship between the original Pesach and all Pesachim since! חג שמח!

| What Is The Secret Of The Pesach Seder Matza? - Gefet | 29 Mar 2026 | 00:33:34 | |
Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. How do we renew ourselves on Passover night? Thanks to studying Tractate Menachot during the war, we can reflect together on the matzah we eat on Passover night. It seems that besides being bread of poverty and bread of redemption, it has another characteristic. This characteristic is connected to the Omer offering that allows the new grain to be eaten at the end of the fifteenth day of Nisan. What is the essential characteristic of the matzah revealed in the tractate? Join us for a special session in honor of Passover night and Tractate Menachot.

| On Goats And Birds - Gefet | 26 Mar 2026 | 00:38:23 | |
Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur. In our discussion lies hidden, within Rashi as preserved in the manuscript “Otzer,” an interpretation of the Talmud that links the birds of the metzora with the goats of Yom Kippur. Together, we will uncover this “treasure” with the help of the Tosfot on the passage, and delve deeper to understand the meaning of this surprising connection that appears in our sugya.
