Today I bring you a delightfully subversive Talmudic fairytale of true love, tzitzit, and a righteous woman in the world’s oldest profession. (This time, I’m pretty sure she’s not Elijah in disguise!)

Learning #talmud is as a kind of time travel to the past. But on today’s page, we get a doozy of a story, about Moses teleporting forward …to Rabbi Akiva’s classroom. Welcome to #DafReactions Menachot 29: Back to the Future ⏱️

Did the priests in the Temple get to put anything on those sacrifices for flavor before they ate them? A1? Relish? Ketchup? Salt??? Tune in as I discover just how much God loves sodium. Welcome to #DafReactions Menachot 21: Salt Bae

If you asked ME what the most difficult sacrificial rite in the Temple was, I’d say, obviously, the laundry!
But what does the Gemara say? Let’s find out! It’s answer might surprise you!

Out of the fire of Zevachim & into the frying pan (…and also a slightly larger frying pan?) of Menachot! I try to get a handle on new #talmud material, and ask why“shewbread” is spelled like that. Welcome to #dafreactions Menachot 3: Deep Dish vs. Thin Crust!

Shalom, friends! Wow -Grateful to Rabbanit Leah Herzog for this analysis on what aspects of the #DafReactions methodology can be helpful when used by Jewish educators in other learning contexts, (and, of course, how to deploy them appropriately depending on audience, situation, and environment.) 🫶🫶🫶
Shalom, friends, just when you thought we’d finished airing the Temple laundry & could fold it neatly & put it away…

The Earl of Sandwich did not invent the first sandwich. He was a fraud! Tha matters because in today’s #talmud, the sages use The Hillel Special (matzah, bitter herbs, pascal lamb) as a legal case study.

Intermingling! Great for holiday gatherings during this festive season, not great for Temple offerings! How will the sages of the #Talmud explain the concept? too many…cups.

With all these messy sacrifices, WHO was doing the all the priestly laundry?? Welcome to #DafReactions Zevachim 35: Spin Cycle 🧺
