Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.As part of the discussion about the showbread table, there’s a striking teaching that compares the altar and the atonement it brings to something much closer to home: our own dining table.At first, that sounds surprising. The Temple is all about standing before God… while the dinner table seems centered on something far more physical, our hunger, our daily needs.So why draw this connection?Join us as we dive into this fascinating

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainIn this week’s daf (Menachot 93a-b), the mishnah declares that women do not lay their hands (semicha) on their korbanot. This seems to be the position within mishnah, as corroborated in Kiddushin (36a, Mishnah 1:8). However, in another tannaitic source - the Sifra (Midrash Halakha on Vayikra) - R. Yose and R. Shimon are cited as saying that women may choose to lay their hands (semicha) on their korbanotץ Their

Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein HainThe mishnah bases the prohibition to buy required korbanot from ma’aser sheni money (=i.e., money used to redeem ma’aser sheni produce) on the korban Pesach. After all, in both Egypt and in the desert, people did not yet separate ma’aser sheni, so they certainly did not use the money to buy the animals for these korbanot. This leads the Gemara into a discussion about the similarities between the Pesach in

Thanks to studying Tractate Menachot during the war, we can reflect together on the matzah we eat on Passover night. It seems that besides being bread of poverty and bread of redemption, it has another characteristic. This characteristic is connected to the Omer offering that allows the new grain to be eaten at the end of the fifteenth day of Nisan. What is the essential characteristic of

Together, we will uncover this “treasure” with the help of the Tosfot on the passage, and delve deeper to understand the meaning of this surprising connection that appears in our sugya.Gefet Ep 212Menachot 74Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet

Our sugya deals with the waving of a mincha – an action which the Kohen and the owner participate in together. Their cooperation creates a problem: it generates a chatzitzah (separation) between the hand of the Kohen and the vessel containing the mincha. Gefet Ep 210Menachot

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.The Gemara in Menachot posits that a “Cohen who does not admit” is not permitted to benefit from the matanot kehunah. What sort of Cohen would fall under this description? The rishonim and acharonim have different perspectives on this question – and their answers will open a window into a deeper theological debate: what is heresy?

As we try to understand this mishnah in depth, we’ll realize that it opens the door to a broader conversation about the nature and definition of the tzibbur, or the collective.
