Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Dr. Joshua Kulp looks at Masechet Moed Katan Daf 19.
Today we will look at a mishnah which finally gets into the laws of mourning, which are the main topic of the rest of the tractate. The Mishnah begins with the intersection of mourning and a festival, the main topic of Moed Katan. What happens when one is in the middle of mourning and a festival arrives? Does one continue after the festival or not?
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
