Welcome to the Four Hundred Twelvth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Danny Nevins looks at Masechet Yoma Daf 12.


The city of Jerusalem has a special ritual status-parts of it belong to the entire people of Israel and therefore never become impure. Other parts belong to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Which ones? We also learn about priestly garments, and what distinguished the High Holiday costume of the high priest from the uniforms of his fellows.


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.
