Welcome to the Fifty Nineth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 60. Today we will discuss the prohibition against wearing sandals held together with nails on Shabbat. The Talmud offers a somewhat farfetched explanation for this law, referring it to a fatal stampede that happened on one ancient Shabbat. But we propose a much more likely explanation for this rule, coming from an extremely unlikely authority – the Christian church father Origen.
This week, our study is led by Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky of Congregation Ansche Chesed in New York City.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
