Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Danny Nevins looks at Masechet Ketubot, Daf 77.
Settle in for an expanded presentation of a very rich daf. Enough about the blemishes of women–what about the guys? Our daf has two mishnayot that address men’s blemishes–were they present before marriage, in which case perhaps she accepted them, or only later? Were they minor, in which case she thought she could live with them, or great? And then–what kinds of blemishes are we talking about? On side B, we take a fascinating aside to hear the stories of two sainted rabbis who outmaneuver the angel of death on their way to heaven, and with this lovely image, end the seventh chapter.
