  • Confused

    I don’t learn Gemara (because I’m a woman) but one thing I know for certain is that women aren’t supposed to learn Gemara. It’s not a privilege that is denied to women- it’s an obligation that men have and women don’t.

  • Women should not be Learning Gemara

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Menachot 46 - February 26, 9 Adar
Q: What are the implications of losing one part of the sacrifice?
Losing one part, such as the bread or the sheep, complicates the sacrifice's validity and necessary rituals, as explored through various opinions.
Menachot 37 - February 17, 30 Shvat
Q: What do we learn about the placement of tefillin for left-handed individuals?
Left-handed individuals place their tefillin on their right arm, as it corresponds to their dominant hand, which is analogous to how right-handed individuals wear theirs on the left.
Menachot 24 - February 4, 17 Shvat
Q: Is it Tfulyom that touches it? How does that affect the vessel?
The main complication comes from discussing whether or not the Tfulyom affects the items if they aren't in direct contact.
Menachot 3 - January 14, 25 Tevet
Q: What distinguishes the rulings on menachot from those on zevachim according to the Gemara?
The rulings indicate that while menachot can have their intentions disregarded based on visible actions, zevachim require a stricter adherence to intent since they're associated with animal sacrifices.
Zevachim 67 - November 20, 29 Cheshvan
Q: What happens if a bird offering is performed incorrectly?
Rabbi Yeshua argues that if an Ola is performed with intentions for Khatad, it transforms the offering's status.
