Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Michael Pitkowsky looks at Masechet Yoma Daf 66.
Do sacrifices have an expiration date? Today’s daf addresses this very question. What if an animal was disqualified from being sacrificed, but that disqualification has now passed, is it permissible to sacrifice this animal next year? Numerous rabbinic opinions are brought trying to answer this question. What does it mean both spiritually and logistically to keep an animal for an entire year? How do we even count a year? See how the differences between the lunar and solar calendar may hold the answer to our original question.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
