Welcome to the Hundred and Seventieth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Danny Nevins looks at Masechet Eruvin Daf 15.
Today we consider the question of intent—must a “lehi” (a post used to designate the entrance to a “mavoi”) be designated for this function prior to Shabbat, or may one use any object whose design conforms to the specifications of a “lehi?” Along the way we witness some casual rabbinic magic, and learn of a life-long dispute between Rava and Abbaye.
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.
