Welcome to the Hundred and Thirtieth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Marci Jacobs Aronchick looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 131. The discussion of machshirei mitzvah – the items and preparations we undertake in order to do certain Mitzvot – reminds us that our Jewish behaviors don’t exist in a vacuum. Our observance of Mitzvot and our participation in Jewish ritual and behaviors give our lives texture – and ideally, they are not separate from the everyday aspects of our experience.
Rabbi Marci Jacobs Aronchick is the Education Director of Congregation Ansche Chesed in New York City. Prior to coming to the Ansche Chesed community, she served for five years as the Assistant Rabbi at Temple Emunah, in Lexington, MA. A lover of Rabbinic Literature since the first time she explored a page of Talmud in college, Marci relishes opportunities to bring her passion for the Gemara to her students, whether one-on-one, in the classroom, or now, through Daily Daf Differently.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
