Welcome to the Sixty Sixth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Shai Cherry looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 67. Shabbat 67 continues with therapies for all that ails you, from boils to bathroom demons. Along the way, the gemara allows for those practices that might actually have some benefit, even if those same customs are practiced by non-Jews. The chapter ends with a l’chayim, a nod to those things which enhance life.
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.
