Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Simeon Cohen looks at Masechet Beitza Daf 28.
Can one sharpen a knife on a Festival? If so, what are the stipulations which dictate how the sharpening can be performed? This daf uses these questions as a means to explore the idea that it is significant to change your behavior on a Festival; even if sharpening is permitted, one should sharpen differently than one generally would on a regular weekday.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
