Welcome to the Seventy Eighth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Harry Pell looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 79. In this episode, we focus on a page that asks the question whether Tefilin be written only on Klaf, or also on Duchsustus? The question is answered elegantly, in part by citing the principle — Ma’alin B’kodesh, V’ayn Moridin.


Rabbi Harry Pell is Schechter Westchester’s rabbi-in-residence, as well as a teacher of Talmud and chair of the Judaic Studies department in the High School. His favorite teaching opportunity comes annually when he is privileged to travel and learn with the senior class in Poland and Israel. Rabbi Pell also serves as a reserve chaplain in the United States Navy and is working on a long term doctorate in Talmud and rabbinics.


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