Welcome to the Hundred and Twenty Third episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Adina Lewittes looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 124. This page in Massechet Shabbat illustrates once again how some sages considered such factors as financial loss when making decisions around Shabbat or Festival observance, reminding us of how halacha never operates in a vacuum. It also contains two fascinating stories: one that teaches us about the ethics of choosing a halachik authority, and one that offers a glimpse into the mundane realities of the life of a Talmudic sage.
Rabbi Adina Lewittes is the founder of Sha’ar Communities in Bergen County, New Jersey, a groundbreaking suburban network of small, inclusive, and accessible Jewish communities connected by a broad vision of Jewish renaissance. An entrepreneur in her rabbinate, Rabbi Lewittes earlier founded Congregation Kol HaNeshamah in Englewood, New Jersey, and served as the first female Assistant Dean of the Rabbinical School at JTS during which time she participated in the rethinking and restructuring of the program’s curriculum.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
