Welcome to the Four Hundred and First episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Abby Sosland looks at Masechet Shekalim Daf 22.

The Tractate ends as the rabbis finally face the truth; the Temple is no longer with us, and our discussions about Temple upkeep have been generally theoretical. So what are our modern commitments regarding Shekalim?

Rabbi Abby Sosland is the Morah Ruchanit (Spiritual Advisor) for the high school at Solomon Schechter Westchester, where she teaches Talmud, Bible, Philosophy and Prayer. Her chapter “Crime and Punishment” — about the laws of capital punishment and incarceration– appears in The Observant Life: The Wisdom of Conservative Judaism for Contemporary Jews (Martin Cohen and Michael Katz, Rabbinical Assembly, 2012). She runs a free High Holiday service at Town and Village Synagogue in downtown Manhattan.

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