Eruvin, Daf 48

Welcome to the Two Hundred and Third episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Ute Steyer looks at Masechet Eruvin Daf 48.

Today we return to the question of tolerance of diverse levels of observance and how hair-splitting over minutia can detract from genuine learning.

Rabbi Ute Steyer received rabbinic ordination and a M.A. in Jewish Philosophy from The Jewish Theological Seminary in 2009. She is currently a doctoral candidate in Jewish philosophy at the Hebrew University. Her research interest is in the development of ethical thought in rabbinic literature and contemporary Jewish thought. Rabbi Steyer works as the research and program manager in the Center for Pastoral Education and as adjunct lecturer in Pastoral Theology at JTS. Prior to this she was the program director of the Yeshiva University Center for Jewish Law and Contemporary Civilization at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.

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