Welcome to the Seventieth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Shai Cherry looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 71. On today’s daf, the gemara offers further permutations of combining different kinds of transgressions from the mishna and asking about the consequences. We conclude our study by asking again if the function of sacrifices is educational, psychological, or theological/cosmic.


Rabbi Shai Cherry, Ph.D, is the founder and director of Shaar Hamayim: A Jewish Learning Center in Solana Beach, California. Shai wrote Torah through Time: Understanding Bible Commentary from the Rabbinic Period to Modern Times and is the featured lecturer for The Great Courses’ “Introduction to Judaism.”


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