Welcome to the Four Hundred and Fifth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Abby Sosland looks at Masechet Yoma Daf 5.
After two pages of exploring the original Inauguration of the Mishkan, the Gemara is suddenly aghast at the question of how the Kohanim were dressed. The Ramban helps us to find meaning in what otherwise might seem like a strange contradiction in the Gemara. Modern day Kohanim will be pleased.
Rabbi Abby Sosland is the Morah Ruchanit (Spiritual Advisor) for the high school at Solomon Schechter Westchester, where she teaches Talmud, Bible, Philosophy and Prayer. Her chapter “Crime and Punishment” — about the laws of capital punishment and incarceration– appears in The Observant Life: The Wisdom of Conservative Judaism for Contemporary Jews (Martin Cohen and Michael Katz, Rabbinical Assembly, 2012). She runs a free High Holiday service at Town and Village Synagogue in downtown Manhattan.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
