Daily Mishna #48: Berachot 8:7

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 02:05

Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time.

Mishnah 8:7 teaches that Birkat HaMazon must be said in the place where one ate. If a person forgot and already left, Bet Shammai says he must return to his original spot, while Bet Hillel allows him to say it wherever he remembers - though one who goes back is praised. The commentaries limit the leniency to one who forgot; a person who deliberately left without blessing must return even according to Bet Hillel. The Mishnah closes with the time limit: one may bless only until the food in his stomach is digested - once he grows hungry again, the obligation over that meal has passed.

(0:18) Forgot: Bet Shammai vs Bet Hillel

Mr. Sammy Saka – Pirke Abot 3:9 "The Source of Life"

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 17:13

Mr. Sammy Saka hosts classes on Zoom Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30PM. Contact Jacob Betesh to be added to the chat.

Mishnah 3:9 sounds harsh at first: a person walking on the road and reviewing his Torah who stops to say "how beautiful is this tree" bears guilt for his soul. Mr. Saka explains it through the order of the morning prayers - in Ahavat Olam we thank Hashem for constantly renewing creation, and then move straight into the words of Torah, because seeing Hashem in the world is a helper while Torah is the foundation, the blueprint, the steak next to the mashed potatoes. Along the way: Rabbi Avigdor Miller's walks on Ocean Parkway, why David ha-Melech was chosen over his impressive brothers, checking people out before shidduchim and business partnerships, and a cassette-tape class from Rabbi Raymond Beyda on "midvar sheker tirchak" - run from falsehood. The Torah's first and last letters spell lev, a heart: how to treat people and bring them closer to Torah with love. That is the source of life.

Daily Mishna #47: Berachot 8:6

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 02:55

Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time.

The Mishnah lists the candles and spices that cannot be used for havdalah. One says no beracha over an idolater's candle, since it may well have burned on Shabbat and the havdalah light must be one that rested, nor over his spices, which the Gemara explains were used at his parties, and an ordinary gathering of idolaters is tied to idolatry. Likewise a candle or spices designated for the dead: that candle is lit to honor the body rather than to give light, and those spices mask odor rather than give a pleasant smell, and the berachot require light enjoyed as light and scent enjoyed as scent. The same goes for a candle or spices set before an idol, from which no benefit may be had at all. The Mishnah closes with the rule that one says bore me'orei ha'esh only once he actually benefits from the light, which is the source of the custom of holding up one's fingers to distinguish the nails from the flesh by the havdalah candle.

Daily Mishna #46: Berachot 8:5

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 05:22

Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time.

The Mishnah takes up the motzaei Shabbat puzzle of a person who made kiddush during the day and has only one cup of wine, which he needs for havdalah, so Birkat Hamazon and havdalah must be said over the same cup. Bet Shammai order the blessings ner, mazon, besamim, havdalah; Bet Hillel say ner, besamim, mazon, havdalah. All agree ner comes first, since we benefit from the light right away and fire was first created on the motzaei Shabbat of Creation, and all agree havdalah comes last, to show we are in no rush to end Shabbat. The fight is over the middle: Bet Shammai put the obligation of Birkat Hamazon first, while Bet Hillel treat ner and besamim as one unit marking the end of Shabbat and the loss of the extra soul. The Mishnah closes with a second machloket over the text of the beracha itself: Bet Shammai say "bara me'or ha'esh," speaking of creation in the past and of fire's single color, while Bet Hillel say "bore me'orei ha'esh," staying loyal to the language of the pesukim and recognizing fire's many colors.

0:00 One cup of wine for both Birkat Hamazon and havdalah

0:46 Bet Shammai's order: ner, mazon, besamim, havdalah

1:13 Bet Hillel's order: ner, besamim, mazon, havdalah

1:19 Why ner comes first for everyone

1:48 Why havdalah comes last for everyone

2:17 The disagreement: besamim or mazon first

2:31 Bet Shammai's reason: the obligation of Birkat Hamazon

2:50 Bet Hillel's reason: ner and besamim are one unit

3:43 Second machloket: bara me'or ha'esh or bore me'orei ha'esh

4:13 Past tense or the language of the pesukim

5:02 One color of fire or many

Rabbi Ike Hanon – Pesahim 59a | Weekday Gemara

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 24:02

Rabbi Ike Hanon hosts classes daily at 6:10 AM at West Deal Shul.

Rabbi Hanon continues Pesahim 59a with the order of the daily Temple service. After reviewing the first opinion that closes the day tamid, korban pesach, ketoret, nerot, he presents the dissenting braita that makes the korban pesach the last offering of the day, and explains how each side reads the words "oto" and "ben ha'arbayim" in the pesukim. The Gemara then zooms out to the whole day: nothing precedes the morning tamid except the ketoret, and nothing follows the afternoon tamid except the ketoret, the nerot, the korban pesach, and a mechusar kippurim on erev pesach who suddenly remembers he never brought his korban. Rabbi Yishmael b'no shel Rabbi Yochanan ben Beroka extends that allowance year-round, and the class works through Ravina's answer (a chatat ha'of, whose blood alone touches the mizbeach) and Rav Pappa's answer (placing the animal on the mizbeach overnight without violating linah), setting up the questions that carry onto the next daf.

Daily Mishna #45: Berachot 8:4

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 03:41

Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time.

The Mishnah turns to mayim acharonim, the obligation to wash one's hands after a bread meal before Birkat Hamazon, and the Gemara's two reasons for it: approaching Birkat Hamazon in a respectful way, and the concern that Sodomite salt on the hands could, God forbid, blind a person who touches his eyes. Bet Shammai hold that one first sweeps the house and only then washes, because of bizuy ochlin: the mayim acharonim water might spill onto a dropped piece of bread larger than a kezayit and render it inedible. Bet Hillel permit washing first, since the waiter may only be a talmid chacham who already knows to remove the larger pieces, leaving no concern.

Daily Mishna #44: Berachot 8:3

mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 03:35

Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time.

Berachot 8:3, applying yesterday's rules of tumah. In those days a person would dry his hands after netilat yadayim with a towel and keep using that same towel to wipe his hands through the meal - so may the damp towel rest on the table next to the food? Beit Shammai permit it: they hold one may not eat at a table that is a sheni letumah in the first place, so there is no concern that the table will render the wet towel - liquid being a ready conveyor of tumah - impure and pass it on to the food. Beit Hillel, who do permit eating at a sheni letumah table, rule the towel must go on the cushion: left wet on the table it could become impure from the table, then be picked up and render the food in hand impure.

Mr. Sammy Saka – Pirke Abot 3:8 “The True Value of Wealth”

mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 15:14

Mr. Sammy Saka hosts classes on Zoom Tuesday and Thursday at 12:30PM. Contact Jacob Betesh to be added to the chat.

Pirke Abot 3:8 teaches "ten lo mishelo" - give Him from His own, for you and all your possessions are His. Mr. Saka pairs the Mishnah with David's words in Divrei HaYamim and a lifetime of lived stories: Neil Tobias, who originated the Hillel Chinese auction thirty years ago and still raises for the school today; and the book "Joseph," about a giant of our community who chased a visiting rabbi out of his office to pledge $52,000 to a yeshiva that was not even at the top of his list - and saw his business break records soon after. The lesson: nothing is really ours. Wealth is a loan from a Partner who owns the 90% and asks for His 10% back - in money, in loans, and in time for those who need help, like high school kids from broken homes. Aser tit'asher: give ma'aser, so you become wealthy.

Daily Mishna #43: Berachot 8:2

mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 06:10

Rabbi Joseph Dana records a short daily Mishnah class, working through all of Mishnah a few minutes at a time.

Berachot 8:2. The class opens with a primer on tumah: how impurity descends from an av hatumah through rishon, sheni and shlishi, and the rabbinic rules for liquids, utensils and hands - every person's unwashed hands count as a sheni letumah, which is why netilat yadayim precedes bread. The mishna then pits Beit Shammai against Beit Hillel on the order at a meal. Beit Shammai say wash first and then pour the wine: wine dripping onto unwashed hands becomes a rishon letumah on contact and can render the cup itself a sheni, unfit to drink from. Beit Hillel say pour the cup first and wash afterward: they permit drinking from a sheni letumah utensil, and they worry more that hands left wet from netilat yadayim will undo the whole washing.

Rabbi Moses Hidary – Shaar Habitachon Perek 4 (15) | Mussar

mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 44:00

Rabbi Moses Hidary hosts classes every Monday at 8:00 PM at West Deal Shul.

The class returns to Chovot HaLevavot, Shaar HaBitachon perek 4 (page 199), on a big question: why does the Torah barely speak explicitly about Olam Haba? Three answers unfold. First, we cannot conceive the soul without the body - try describing blue to a blind man - though Yehoshua Kohen Gadol was granted a glimpse of walking among the angels. Second, it was an accepted tradition too obvious to spell out, like the color of a shirt in a Lakewood beit midrash. Third, the generation that left Egypt was in katnut, a constricted consciousness unable to receive it, so Hashem spoke on their level - a father motivating a child with what he understands now - until the small-mindedness would fall away. That same principle explains the Torah's anthropomorphisms: yad chazakah, "vayipach be'apav" - the Torah speaks in our language. Along the way: how to tell children about death, Mesillat Yesharim on why no one is perfectly happy in this world, the Lamborghini chill-spot mashal, Rabbi Neuberger's elevator mashal on who the "me" really is, and the Ramban on why Benei Yisrael could not hear Moshe - closing with a charge to teach every student and child from their vantage point.
