Course Description

The course is concerned with imparting to the students a basic understanding of the nature of Torah shebaal Peh (oral law) and Talmud. The two focal points of the course are: firstly helping the student to achieve a mastery of the reading of the text and secondly an introduction to conceptual analysis. The units to be studied will be taken from the first chapter of Tractate Makot.

Beginners Gemara: Makot Chapter 1 3b-4a

Dear all

We did some great learning this evening. We are now discussing via a tangent whether adding coloured water to a mikvah renders it unfit.

We have also scheduled a make up for the Tuesday July 31st at 8:00 pm. So same time, same day, just one week after zman has ended.

I have attached the set phrases sheet. Hope it is helpful!

Have a meaningful Tisha b'Av and an easy fast

Beginners Gemara: Makot Chapter 1 2b

Dear all

We were introduced to a new case where an eid zomem is punished by makkot. the case of testifying falsely about an ox which gores habitually. A lot of complicated ideas, but we had a good time working through it and will move on next week

Beginners Gemara: Makot Chapter 1 2b

Dear students

Aside from sharing embarrassing stories of my early days learning gemara we also (more productively!):

Quickly reviewed what we learned last week and continued onto a new sugya on daf bet amud bet. Where is the idea of makkot for eidim zomemime hinted at in the Torah?

Philosophical/halachic question for the week: Can clear verbal expression with absolute ramifications NOT be considered an action?!

As always, thanks for joining!!

Dear all

We will start the shiur with a quick review of what is on the daf, and dive right into the gemara. What are aidim zomemim, and why does the gemara start the way it does?!

Very much looking forward!
