Welcome to the Sixty Fifth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Shai Cherry looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 66. Shabbat 66 begins with a continuation of those things that one can go out with on Shabbat. One of the things it allows is knots for boys. A discussion then ensues of ancient incantations to restore health and a hint as to the origins of using the mother’s name for a misheberach.
Rabbi Shai Cherry, Ph.D, is the founder and director of Shaar Hamayim: A Jewish Learning Center in Solana Beach, California. Shai wrote Torah through Time: Understanding Bible Commentary from the Rabbinic Period to Modern Times and is the featured lecturer for The Great Courses’ “Introduction to Judaism.”
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
