Daf Yomi for Women - Hadran

Study Guide Pesachim 12 To what extent do we assume people make mistakes in determining what day or what time of day it is? Do what extent does human error factor into the rabbis decisions when determining halacha? This issue is relevant to the time the rabbis determined for forbidding chametz on Erev Pesach and also for determining whether or not witnesses are disqualified if the time is their te...

Today's daf is dedicated by Sara Berelowitz "in honor of Rabbanit Michelle and my fellow zoomers on the milestone of finishing Eruvin and starting a new masechet."

The gemara discusses other things that are permitted in the Temple but not outside the Temple.

Pictures The gemara brings a different explanation for the new tefillin and why they can't be brought into the city on Shabbat.

Pictures Study Guide Eruvin 93 Abaye disagrees with those who said that the larger courtyard absorbs the inhabitants of the smaller courtyard as how can there be a barrier that connects rather than separates and therefore forbids (like planting near a vineyard?
