  • Loved it..having some issues now.

    Been listening for a while and enjoyed it. I found lots of value in the commentary and it helped me understand. Now I’m really struggling with the sudden increase of filler phrases such as “right” or “you know” being injected way too often. I don’t know why the change happened, it wasn’t always there. It might sound silly but it’s detracting from the message in a way that makes it impossible for me to focus. Tried to power through a week of episodes unsuccessfully before I wrote this. Sorry but ... more

  • Great content and illuminating discussions, but audio is so bad

    You need a sound engineer. The quality of the recordings is abysmal.

  • 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?

  • 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!

Zevahim 96: Garments and Vessels
Q: If you cook a sin offering, and only part of that vessel, does the entire vessel have to be scrubbed?
It does not need to be scoured and scrubbed.
Zevahim 96: Garments and Vessels
Q: Did you think, right? That when al-kafta, when the chief of the taxes took me by the hand, his smell, his fragrance was left in my hand?
This was a euphemistic way of saying, did I smell?
Zevahim 76: Allowing Terumah - Maybe
Q: How do the opinions of Rabbi Shimon differ from those of the other rabbis?
Rabbi Shimon tends to have a more lenient view about the exposure of offerings to invalidation, unlike the other rabbis who impose stricter limitations.
Zevahim 52: Blood on the Base of the Altar
Q: How does this compare to other blood worship, not worship of blood, but use via blood, whatever, in the ancient world?
The discussion opens all these slew of questions regarding the practices and rituals surrounding the blood and its treatment in the context of sacrifices.

Q: What is the significance of Binyan Av in Jewish law?
