Welcome to the Hundred and Sixith episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Joshua Cahan looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 107. The Talmud shows a strong inclination to define the forbidden labors of shabbat using abstract concepts. But they find that sometimes a category can be as slippery as a fish.
