We had a great shiur where we examined several important concepts including a stolen lulav and a lulav that has been used for idol worship.

I hope everyone enjoyed shiur as much as I did, and I hope I see you all in the new zman!

IMPORTANT: I had some webcam difficulties so the video was not working this evening. But just the webcam -- we had a fun shiur and there was audio etc. just no video of me, which may be better for some ;)

We finished the 2nd perek of Succah, which included learning about several arguments between Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel, as well as how we should behave in a Succah

We continued in the second perek of mishna succah. We looked at several important concepts including "osek b'mitzvah patur min hamitzvah" and how much one can eat outside a succah.

We finished the first perek of mishnayot succah, and started the 2nd! Learned the dangers of shopping for reed mats at Pottery Barn

PLEASE BE AWARE: Due to technical difficulties my webcam was not working. My mic worked and everyone participated, but you will not see me -- the problem was with my webcam and not the archive.

We got to the tenth mishna. We examined the concepts of tumah and teharah a little further, and we moved from schach to the walls of a succah.

We reviewed, dealt with some interesting questions and saw our first machloches Beis Shammai and Beis Hillel

We covered new mishnas and learned a great deal about schach. While we finished through mishna 6, we will be reviewing that mishna at the start of next shiur. Bezrat HaShem we will be on for our regular Sunday time, and I am sorry for any inconvenience the make-up shiur cause...

We continued looking at the first Misha in succah, and examine the parameters of a kosher succah. We got to out first Beit Shammai Beit Hillel argument, and we moved on to the second mishna where we learned about the sukkah duplex. Also of interest (perhaps) was a discussion in the beginning about the nature of Torah she b'al peh and how we understand it.

We finished our review of the historical context of mishna, and looked at it's basic structure. We started looking at the first mishna, and began to delve into the richness of the mishnaic tradition.

We started the zman by taking a look at what mishna really is, how it came to be and where it is situated historically.

I am very sorry for any difficulty anyone had logging in or with sound etc. please feel free to review the sources posted or listen to the shuir on the archive.
