Welcome to the Hundred and Twenty Sixith episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Adina Lewittes looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 127. This page in Massechet Shabbat tries to understand some of the Sages concerns about exerting ourselves physically on Shabbat. It then shares some beautiful teachings about the importance of the mitzvah of Hachnasat Orchim, the welcoming of guests, and of judging one another favorably, giving people the benefit of the doubt.
Rabbi Adina Lewittes is the founder of Sha’ar Communities in Bergen County, New Jersey, a groundbreaking suburban network of small, inclusive, and accessible Jewish communities connected by a broad vision of Jewish renaissance. An entrepreneur in her rabbinate, Rabbi Lewittes earlier founded Congregation Kol HaNeshamah in Englewood, New Jersey, and served as the first female Assistant Dean of the Rabbinical School at JTS during which time she participated in the rethinking and restructuring of the program’s curriculum.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
