Welcome to the Hundred and Sixith episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Joshua Cahan looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 107. The Talmud shows a strong inclination to define the forbidden labors of shabbat using abstract concepts. But they find that sometimes a category can be as slippery as a fish.
Rabbi Joshua Cahan received his Ph.D. in Rabbinic Literature from the Jewish Theological Seminary. He teaches rabbinics at the Schechter High School of Westchester. Previously he was the founder and director of the Northwoods Kollel Talmud program at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin and Director of the Jewish Theological Seminary’s Beit Midrash study center. In 2009 Rabbi Cahan published Yedid Nefesh, a traditional, egalitarian bencher (book of sabbath songs & blessings) with commentary.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
