    Daf Yomi One Week at a Time:Bechorot: with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz: Lesson 7: Daf 40-46

    This week we will continue discussing blemishes (mumim) that permit slaughtering a bechor, focusing on the tail, testicles, and genitals. We will then begin the seventh perek, which applies the same blemishes to a kohen: the Mishnah explains that some blemishes disqualify a kohen from the avodah in the Temple and an animal from the altar, while others (the animal-only list) don’t apply to a kohen. The Gemara discusses the kohen’s eye, face, and body defects. For more info or to visit the main shiur page please visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://webyeshiva.org/course/daf-yomi-one-week-at-a-time-bechorot

    Daf Yomi One Week at a Time:Bechorot: with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz: Lesson 6: Daf 33-39

    This week we will learn about the prohibition against deliberately inflicting a blemish on a bechor to permit its slaughter, with exceptions for blemishes caused by non-Jews and accidental self-defense. The Gemara teaches about the mumcheh (certified expert) required to validate a blemish, disqualifying a kohen from certifying his own animal due to conflict of interest, and invalidating any judge who takes payment for rulings. Daf 37–39 catalogues specific eye blemishes that qualify as a mum, requiring that any blemish be both visible and permanent.

    Emunot V'Deot: The First Book of Jewish Philosophy with Rabbi Daniel Korobkin: 6:2-3 – The Correct View of the Soul’s Makeup

    Rabbi Saadia Gaon’s sefer Emunot V’Deot (Book of Beliefs and Opinions) innovated the genre of Jewish philosophy. Long before Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam, R. Saadia paved the road for viewing Jewish principles through a lens of classic Greek philosophy, the science of his time, and is justifiably where Jewish philosophy begins.

    Daf Yomi One Week at a Time:Bechorot: with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz: Lesson 5: Daf 26-32

    This week we will learn how long an owner must raise a bechor before giving it to the kohen, and warns that a kohen may not receive gifts as payment for his help. Chapter 4 then deals with mistaken or unqualified rulings, and forbids taking payment for religious services like judging and testifying. It continues with how to treat people suspected of misusing bechorot. We will also learn that redeemed blemished offerings may be sold in the market, unlike a bechor and ma’aser.

    Daf Yomi One Week at a Time:Bechorot: with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz: Lesson 4: Daf 19-25

    This week we will learn about caesarean-born animals and the animal born after them: Rabbi Tarfon treats both as doubtful firstborns, while Rabbi Akiva says neither is a bechor. Chapter 3 then deals with an animal bought from a non-Jew whose birth history is unknown, using Rabbi Yishmael’s age brackets and Rabbi Akiva’s physical signs of a prior birth to decide. The section ends by assuming a nursing animal is nursing its own young, and not another animal’s.

    Daf Yomi One Week at a Time:Bechorot: with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz: Lesson 3: Daf 12-18

    This week we will learn about which animals are and are not obligated in bechor, the first born of a kosher animal, including animals born from cross-species unions, animals bought from non-Jews, and cases where the fetus emerged unusually, with the underlying principle that only an animal that truly “opens the womb” in the normal sense acquires kedushah, sanctity. We will also learn about cases of safek (doubt) in bechor status, when two animals give birth simultaneously and it is unclear which offspring is the firstborn, or when one of the mothers had previously given birth and the other had not.

    Daf Yomi One Week at a Time:Bechorot: with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz: Lesson 2: Daf 5-11

    This week we will continue learning about the sanctity of the first-born donkey, and why the donkey requires redemption. We will also learn that one may not derive any benefit from the carcass of a donkey killed by arifah (neck-breaking, the alternative to redemption), and that even a small sheep fulfills the mitzvah of redemption.
