This week we will learn how long an owner must raise a bechor before giving it to the kohen, and warns that a kohen may not receive gifts as payment for his help. Chapter 4 then deals with mistaken or unqualified rulings, and forbids taking payment for religious services like judging and testifying. It continues with how to treat people suspected of misusing bechorot. We will also learn that redee...

Rabbi Saadia Gaon’s sefer Emunot V’Deot (Book of Beliefs and Opinions) innovated the genre of Jewish philosophy. Long before Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam, R. Saadia paved the road for viewing Jewish principles through a lens of classic Greek philosophy, the science of his time, and is justifiably where Jewish philosophy begins.

This week we will learn about caesarean-born animals and the animal born after them: Rabbi Tarfon treats both as doubtful firstborns, while Rabbi Akiva says neither is a bechor. Chapter 3 then deals with an animal bought from a non-Jew whose birth history is unknown, using Rabbi Yishmael’s age brackets and Rabbi Akiva’s physical signs of a prior birth to decide. The section ends by assuming a nurs...

This week we will learn about which animals are and are not obligated in bechor, the first born of a kosher animal,  including animals born from cross-species unions, animals bought from non-Jews, and cases where the fetus emerged unusually, with the underlying principle that only an animal that truly “opens the womb” in the normal sense acquires kedushah,  sanctity. We will also learn about cases...

This week we will continue learning about the sanctity of the first-born donkey, and why the donkey requires redemption. We will also learn that one may not derive any benefit from the carcass of a donkey killed by arifah (neck-breaking, the alternative to redemption), and that even a small sheep fulfills the mitzvah of redemption. For more info or to visit the main shiur page please visit ⁠⁠ http...

We will begin Masechet Bechorot and learn that there are 3 types of firstborns: Kosher animals, Donkeys and Humans. Each type is redeemed in its own unique way. We will begin to learn about the first-born donkey this week. For more info or to visit the main shiur page please visit ⁠ https://webyeshiva.org/course/daf-yomi-one-week-at-a-time-bechorot /⁠

This week, we will learn about the laws of  matnot kehunah,  the priestly gifts (the foreleg, jaw, and stomach) that anyone slaughtering a kosher animal must give to a kohen. We will learn what each gift is, who is obligated to give it, and who is exempt. We will then begin the final chapter in this masechet and learn about the mitzvah of Shiluach HaKen, the sending of the mother bird when collect...

Join  ⁠Rabbi Uri Cohen⁠  as he tries to understand the origins and meanings behind some of the seemingly strange traditions of Rosh HaShanah. We will examine eating the symbolic foods, dipping the apple in the honey, the perplexing problem of eating nuts, and the custom of not sleeping on Rosh Hashanah.

Join Rabbi Dr. Zvi Leshem as he explores a drasha in the Pri Zaddik, the Torah of Reb Tzadok HaCohen, on Shabbat Shuva and Yom Kippur, with the hope of understanding more about Shabbat, Teshuva, Aseret Yimai Teshuva and the amazing process of renewal we are moving towards, and moving through.

In this shiur with  Rabbanit Yudit Samad  we will explore how the sounds emanating from the shofar trigger national memories

This week we will learn about  tumat neveilah  (the ritual impurity of animal carcasses) and  tumat ochalin  (the impurity laws governing food), including the special case of  ever min ha-chai,  a limb hanging from a still-living animal.  The Gemara also teaches about a dangling limb or piece of flesh still attached to a live animal, weighing whether it counts as food susceptible to impurity versu...

The Piaseczner Rebbe’s drashot on Rosh HaShana, both before and during the Shoah, revolve around a parable of a king and his exiled son. Each year the story shifts subtly, while in the last year of the Rebbe’s drashot (RH 1941) it disappears. As we consider the reasons why we blow shofar and themes surrounding the sounds, join  Rabbi Dr. Zvi Leshem  and trace this theme in the Rebbe’s drashot and...

In this shiur with  Rabbanit Yudit Samad  we will explore how the mitzva of Shofar relates to the essence of Rosh Hashanah and to the historical event which it may be commemorating

This week we will learn about the rules of  tumat ochlin  (food impurity), which requires a minimum egg-sized amount but can be supplemented by the animal’s skin, solidified meat juice, bones, sinews, horns, or hooves, contrasted with  tumat neveilah,  which requires a kezayit (olive volume) of actual meat and cannot be supplemented. The Gemara also teaches about the concepts of  yad  (handle) and...
