Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Dr. Joshua Kulp looks at Masechet Moed Katan Daf 20.


In today’s daf we will explore the history of the halakhah that if one observes only one hour of shiva before the festival begins, there is no more shiva after the festival. This is one of the strangest laws among the Jewish laws of mourning. Today I will critically examine the history of the law and introduce you to a chapter from my latest book.


The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
