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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
