Talmud Tisch: Intermediate Talmud Masechet Pesachim The Talmud on the Pesach Seder Lesson 8 In its initial analysis of the Mishnah, a great sage presumed to have uncovered the answer to a question that had long baffled the sages: must a mitzvah be performed intentionally, or can meaning be attributed to mindless actions? The Talmud engages in rigorous, its unique signature give-and-take, to meticulously analyze the supposition and frame it in the precision-driven syntax our sages employed. Although ultimately, the supposition is dismissed, the analysis is illuminating, revealing and instructive on many levels as we emerge with a clearer understanding of the Seder etiquette and the thought invested into each detail of its revered rituals. (Pesachim page 114 b)

The focus is the second set of poetic verses, corresponding to our metamorphosing into a miraculous nation that consistently defies nature and statistics. A pattern of a gradually heightening awareness of Divine design in every aspect of our existence is also uncovered. Particular attention is lavished on G-d not only splitting the Red Sea, but also miraculously drying the ocean-bed, effectively sparing us a muddy walk. Yet, in the grander scheme of things, is that really such a big deal? The multiple answers proffered climax in a remarkably enlightening lesson.

But would it really have sufficed if G-d had merely brought us to Mount Sinai, and not given us the Torah?!

We also address the curious notion of including events centuries beyond our leaving Egypt as part of the official Passover Seder exodus narrative in a profoundly insightful fashion. When it’s all said and done, you’ll certainly sing this Haggadah hymn with fresh fervor and passion!

TALMUD Tractate Sukkah pg 6b Lesson Twenty-Eight How do I know if my Sukkah is a properly partitioned structure? This Episode features a discovery of The Halachik Theory that stand behind the seemingly "Hollow Walls" that serve to satisfy the minimum legal needs to create the Mitzvah entity called a Sukkah! We place great emphasis on Tracing Sources, e.g., identifying the scriptural origins of the rules and strictures that govern the particulars of any given Mitzvah observance. When no verse is found, we understand the source must be an "Oral Sinai Tradition." This initiates a fascinating journey, from the dimensions of the Legendary Ark of the Covenant to the to the sweep of the Cherubic wingspan and its relative heights. Then, we'll be introduced to jurisprudence behind the theoretical, yet legally binding Extensions, Attachments and Curved Walls that can complete our Holiday Huts. Finally, we move on to new business: the minimum number of partitions required for a Makeshift Shelter to be granted Legal Status. Here too, there's a debate on minimalist requirements. A quest for the possible reasons behind the different views will follow.

TALMUD Tractate Sukkah pg 6b Lesson Twenty-Nine In the previous Episode we learnt about the Halachik Theory behind seemingly "Hollow Walls" that can satisfy the legal requirements to create a Mitzvah entity called Sukkah! The actual minimum number of partitions required for a Makeshift Shelter to be granted Legal Status remained a debate. In this Episode, as the quest for the possible reasons behind the different views ensues, we move to trace the Scripture Sources for the rules governing the Sukkah itself. In deciphering those very sources, we will be introduced to the differing methodologies of expounding the Torah’s statements in general. Is it the written tradition, or the vocalization that is most authoritative? The answer this question will invariably have great bearing on the way we define the Sukkah partition requirements as well. Ultimately the disparate Rivers of Rational all flow into the same Sea of Talmudic conclusion. The debate is only about how we navigate our way there!

TALMUD Tractate Sukkah pg 6b Lesson Thirty In the previous Episode we sought Scripture Sources for rules governing the Sukkah itself, and the differing opinions about the minimum partition requirements. In deciphering those sources, we encountered differing methodologies of expounding biblical verses. Which is most authoritative: the written word or its vocalization? The answer to this question makes all the difference. In this Episode we continue the quest, by seeking alternatives methods to trace the Scriptural Sources for the Sukkah's Surroundings with variations of deciphering the same Prophetic Code that minimize dissent! While there isn't a practical difference and the ultimate destination is same, in true Talmudic fashion we identify various scenic routes to navigate our way there! Rabbi Mendel Kaplan

Having completed the source tracing for Sukkah Walls minimums, in this new Episode the Talmud now addresses the possible placements of those incomplete barriers. This will clarity the extent of the liberties we may take in extended the theoretical partitions to effectively create a Halachik Sukkah. Finally, a discussion about the maximum allowance of barrier breakage that wouldn't interfere with the Kashruth of the Sukkah?

TALMUD Tractate Sukkah pg 7a Lesson Thirty-Two In the previous Episode we address the placements of conceptual third - albeit mostly non-literal - barrier that can be employed to complete a legally valid Sukkah enclosure. Pushing the envelope on the creation of this third theoretical partition to effectuate Halachik Sukkah status we were introduced to an "Alley Sukkah" primarily comprised of only two parallel walls. Now, in addition to the placements of an incomplete minimal barrier, our Sages moved the binding completion of this theoretical enclosure by virtue of a Doorway Formation!

Talmud Tractate Sukkah Chap. 3, Page 35a , In Leviticus 23; 40 Moses conveys the Torah's commandment: "On the first day [of the Festival of Sukkot] you must take hold for yourself... Fruit of the Beautiful Tree..." Using cryptic language, the scripture does not clearly identify the fruit it speaks of. This in-depth mini-series focuses on the page in Masechet Sukkah that records the teachings of our Sages about this very question. Here, the Talmud sets out to solve the mystery of the enigmatic Etrog's ID once and for all! To be sure, our sacred oral tradition has always identified it as the Citron, yet is there any proof for this in the biblical text itself? The words of our Sages are richly illuminated by the multi-layered commentaries of the medieval and modern era. -------- Episode One: We open with some serious digging in the sands of history to first address the white elephant in the room: is the ID of this Mitzvah Fruit really rooted in Biblical Soil, or is it (as some academics have recently claimed) but a later a Rabbinic Transplant? A careful look at the precise language employed in the scriptural syntax seems to link botanical beauty with tasty symmetry. In highlighting a unique Fruit/Bark corollary there seems to be an easy method to obtain proof positive ID of the Beautiful Fruit. Yet in our quest for unequivocal definition, we encounter the range of vegetative diversity flavouring life in Israel. And the matter seems far from resolved. Undaunted, the Talmud will persist, and, in the end, it’ll be size that matters most in solving this Mitzvah Mystery!

To be sure, our sacred oral tradition has always identified it as the Citron, yet is there any proof for this in the biblical text itself? The words of our Sages are richly illuminated by the multi-layered commentaries of the medieval and modern era. Episode Two: "THE FRUIT HUNTERS" Having successfully completed round one of the quests to identify the biblical roots the Torah's Mitzvah Fruit, the hunt continues as we seek out additional messages encrypted into the text of the Scripture. In an interesting twist, now Gathering Fruit becomes like Cornering Animals! While last time around it was botanical beauty linked to fruit tree taste symmetry, the search for a Positive ID on the Torah’s Mitzvah Fruit now looks pasts photosynthesis parallels and instead chooses to focus on sheepish commonality. Can the range of cyclical diversity found in a common Sheep Pen be reflective of a Tree’s Harvest biodiversity and will seasonal overlap become a most telling feature?

Talmud Tractate Sukkah Chap. 3, Page 35a , Having dug into the scriptural strata to uncover biblical roots on the identity of the Torah's Beautiful Fruit, we've already hit paydirt twice! In "THE WAY OF WATER," our third Episode of the series we will move on to radically Redefined Beauty and eventually end up a Creek in Greek! In our immediate past Episode, the hunt for a Positive ID on the Torah’s Mystery Fruit had us linking harvest biodiversity and sheepish commonality. Here we find an alternative method, which isn't that different etymologically speaking. We begin by revealing a new dimension of Botanical Beauty that's born out of the same continuous dwelling we've already alluded to. A final and even more innovative reading takes in kindred but different direction. This approach will lead us to go with the flow of all waters. Or in plain Greek, we seem to be heading up a Creek!

Talmud Tractate Sukkah Chap. 3, Page 35a , Over the past three Episodes, we've dug deeply into scriptural soil to uncover biblical roots on the identity of the Torah's Beautiful Fruit. Multiple endeavours employed a garden variety of fertile methods, as we radically redefined botanical beauty. After navigating the hazards of identifying the species and genus of the Kosher Citron, we move onto the need to locate one! And, surprisingly enough, Fruit of Trees Worshipped becomes the first major issue to require clarification. Simply stated: would using an Etrog plucked from an Oracle, or harvested from a Forbidden City amount to an ill-fated attempt at performing a Mitzvah, or would we say that as long as you we're well intentioned -- the details don't count that much? This is the fourth segment of an ongoing Talmud Series on The Etrog.

Megillat Eicha 1:16 - Part 14 "Weeping Eyes" Verse 16 presents Jerusalem crying bitterly over the savage suffering and brutal, bloody destruction of her children. Endless tears are shed for a vanished reality, as she mourns an enchanted spiritual world that so vibrantly pulsated with holiness, love and loyalty; and the limp, pale and colourless exilic generation that replaced it. With redemptive comfort and consolation seemingly so distant, her yearning for glorious restoration intensifies.

Zion; crying in pain and weeping incessantly, wrings her hands and desperately reaches out seeking sympathy, comfort and consolation, but no one responds! Her enemies follow her into exile; encircled and taunted she is outcast and disgraced. This class poignantly illustrates how this tragic poetry is textbook description of our Exilic Experience.

Megillat Eicha 1:18 Part 16 "Global Confession" Eicha: 1:18, Zion publicly acknowledges spiritual shortcomings, moral failures and rebelliousness. In accepting G-d’s judgment upon herself, she faithfully confesses her guilt in bringing destruction upon herself. Yet in the latter half of the verse, mournful wailing continues. This class addresses the seemingly disparate reflexes expressed in this verse, and in doing so reconciles the implicit tension between maintaining absolute faith while expressing emotional angst of sorrow in the face of tragedy. The notion of “accepting Hashem’s judgement” is presented in the broader sweep of our biblical tradition, and we encounter the tragic end of Judea’s supremely righteous last real monarch.

Megillat Eicha begins in verse 11: “All her people are sighing...” as the prophet laments the dreadful starvation that gripped the nation. Utterly consumed with hunger they exchanged handfuls of gold for tiny morsels of bread. Blinded by their insatiable quest for physical subsistence they lost sight of life’s meaning and purpose altogether. In studying this verse, you’ll also discover the non-literal modern alter-ego of this condition, and how this mournful prophesy actually provides insight, encouragement and inspiration to help us refocus our lives today.

From beneath G-d metaphorically spreads out an ensnaring trap as Jerusalem hurling us back into our exile of desolation and dysfunction whose expiration date seems to have come and gone without redemptive transformation. This all sounds most unusual; yet its message may well surprise inspire you.

TOM’S TALMUD TISCH: Tractate Menachot on Sefirat Ha’Omer. | - COUNTING DAYS is a text based Gemara mini-series focused on the Biblical Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha"Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that lead us up into the holiday of Shavuot -- the holiday that commemorates the Giving of the Torah. The in-depth study of Tractate Menachot starts from the very beginning, the cutting of fresh barley for the firstling fresh grain offering known as the Omer. This harvest serves as the launching pad for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65a THE REAPING | Ceremony & Sickle: Timing is Everything! Part One, opens as we are introduced to the fascinating field of pomp or circumstance that triggers the annual Post-Pesach Counting. Discover how the timing of biblically ordained nocturnal harvesting was challenged by progressive Jews of antiquity.

This in-depth series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling fresh grain offering known as the Omer. This offering is the eponymous source for the name of our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65a - DAYS OF GLORY | Torah Triumphs on Antiquity: Conflicts and Victories that shaped Jewish Life, Religious Observance, and the course of History! In Part Two, we are introduced to Megillat Taanit, a fascinating compendium of special dates once observed by our people – back in the Second Temple (just before the rise of the Common) Era. Discover forgotten spiritual struggles and successes and learn how the anniversaries of these miraculous victories were once celebrated. And while we no longer observe these eventful dates, they marked major happenings that continue to impact Jewish life and influence our fulfilment of Torah and Mitzvot. This class analyzes two of many major disputes that once rocked the Jewish world. As history repeats itself; learning its lessons can provide valuable insight about the continued struggle between Torah Judaism and non-Halachic pseudo-religious Jewish movements. See the inherent and vast distinction between the true light of our sacred Mesorah (authentic, faith-based Torah tradition) and its pale reflection in humanly manufactured theology. Perhaps most instructive of all is how these underlying issues were resolved! This is the second Episode of the series entitled COUNTING DAYS on Sefirat Ha'Omer.

The mitzvah of Sefirat HaOmer is individually performed each year as we reckon the opening days of Israel's harvest; counting up from Pesach to Shavuot. Curiously, a time-honored and sacred tradition emphasizes that this “counting” must be performed when in upright “standing” position. By tracing back to a wide range of early sources, we develop a deeper appreciation of this rule; and ultimately emerge with a solid understanding of why our physical posture has important bearing on our duty to verbalize the daily count.

Delving into Sefirat HaOmer – ritual counting from Pesach to Shavuot – the slightly disparate narrative of biblical verses lead into unique understandings of this Torah mandate, and how it might be performed in the post-temple exilic era, as separate schools of thought emerge regarding the nature this commandment today. The dominant opinion that modern-day counting is performed by rabbinic ordination alone, begs a question: how does a man-made Mitzvah create a divinely ordained festival? Remarkable insight into the counting and its effects ensues!

The Torah’s instructions about Sefirat HaOmer are precise; it must be an intact and perfect endeavour. Straightforwardly; this means each day must be counted from the night prior, thereby including the full range of each segment. An additional idea is introduced: all days must be counted in totality to account for a complete and proper Mitzvah fulfilment. Traced to their earliest sources, disparate schools of thought are presented and elucidated. Reconciliation and extraordinary insight into the counting’s nature spill over into Yiddishkeit, and ultimately life itself!

The series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling grain offering called The Omer, the eponymous source for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65b -- THE HOLIDAY CALENDAR II features a Deciphering of Divine Dates to Schedule G-d's Meetings! In this Episode we are introduced to Torah teachings brought forth by Sages in the need to defend our sacred unbroken traditions from theological challenges put forward by an ancient Heretical Jewish Sect. While these Sects have long been discarded into the dustbin of history, their heretical notions continue to plague us, and the record of the give-and-take is ever relevant. As our Sages theologically locked horns with these heretical detractors of Torah Judaism, many were inspired to mine cryptic biblical verses in greater depth. In doing so layers of hidden meaning were freshly revealed. In part two of THE HOLIDAY CALENDAR, we begin to review the first two teachings which analyze the scriptural scheduling of the Chagim, and are privy to their then novel insights. This is the fourth Episode of the series entitled COUNTING DAYS on Sefirat Ha'Omer.

COUNTING DAYS is a text-based Gemara mini-series focused on the Mitzvah of Sefirat Ha"Omer, the annual Post-Passover Counting of Days that leads us up to Shavuot -- the holiday commemorating the Giving of the Torah. The series began with the Reaping of fresh Barley for the firstling grain offering called The Omer, the eponymous source for our national count-up commandment. Tractate Menachot, Page 65b -- COUNT ON ME highlights the competing units of time created by the orbit of the heavenly luminary's vs the segments ordained by sunrise and sunset -- comprising an unchanging increment of days and nights. In this Episode we are continuing the analysis of the Torah’s precise biblical terminology about the sanctification of Rosh Chodesh, and the sanctification of Shavuot. By method of the Thirteen Hermeneutical Principals, seemingly unrelated Mitzvot are fused in common legality. This illuminates the timing of the unique commandment to Count Days upon bringing a Firstling Grain Gift to G-d. This leads to an unmistakable Torah truth about our tradition for the timing of this Mitzvah as our Sages continue to demonstrate the veracity of our sacred unbroken traditions, thereby defending them from theological challenges put forward by an ancient Heretical Jewish Sect. While these specific Sects have long ago ceased to exist, their heretical notions continue to live on - even in this post-modern era. Out of the challenges launched by these detractors, came a flowering and profusion of Torah insight. Vastly transcending their historical necessity, these ideas and discoveries went on to remain an important part of our inspired Torah tradition. This fifth segment of the series entitled COUNTING DAYS on Sefirat Ha'Omer has been generously sponsored by Michelle Kahn Celebrating the life of her brother Meechael Kalman Ben Tzvi Mordechai (z”l) on his Yahrtzeit, Rosh Chodesh Iyar.
