There are 24 non-kosher birds, and there's a long chain of transmission to that effect, but if you count the birds in the Torah, the list in Leviticus has 20 birds and the comparable list in Deuteronomy has 21 birds. So where is the count of 24 to be... more
The Torah's list of the non-kosher birds includes some modification, "along with its kind." This is true of the "orev," a crow. And also the white "s'nunit." Which seems to have one sign that it's a kosher bird, but Rabbi Eliezer takes a more stringe... more

United States5 years ago - Very organic conversation
Very neat to be a part of these twos process! Par few weeks every episode has some audio issues, though.
Apple Podcasts4EShirahCanada5 years ago - Great Information
But please slow-down.
When I listen, I imagine you are talking while constantly peering over your shoulder to check a clock as you think, “I’m late!! I’m late!!”
Wouldn’t it be better to instead slow-down and “savor” every word of these beautiful texts?
Apple Podcasts3LidrorUnited States5 years ago - Such a great tool for daf yomi study
This podcast has helped my circle of friends learning DY so much. We all use it a little differently. I so appreciate the time and care that the hosts put in. I know it isn’t easy. The daf waits for no one!
