Welcome to the Four Hundred Tenth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Danny Nevins looks at Masechet Yoma Daf 10.

The sages speculate about biblical prophecies of exile and redemption, and when the messiah will finally come. Then they get back to practical matters- does the apartment used by the high priest in the temple leading up to Yom Kippur require a mezuzah? If he is forced to live there, is it truly his residence, or is it perhaps a prison? When does a house become a home?

Rabbi Danny Nevins is the dean of the JTS Division of Religious Leadership, which includes the Rabbinical School and H.L. Miller Cantorial School, as well as the Center for Pastoral Education. In addition to teaching at JTS, he serves as a member of the Rabbinical Assembly’s Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, and has written responsa on various subjects in topics related to bioethics, disability, sexuality and technology. Prior to working at JTS, he served as rabbi of Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington Hills, MI.

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