Welcome to the Four Hundred Forty Fifth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Alyssa Gray looks at Masechet Yoma Daf 45.
The Bavli presents different ways by which it emphasizes that the Yom Kippur ritual is to be an awesome, eye-catching spectacle for the people. But why should it be? Through an examination of our daf and pertinent comments of Rambam, we will better understand the rabbis’ textual construction of a magnificent and idealized Yom Kippur priestly ritual.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
