    Bava Metzia 62: Market Rates

    Bava Metzia 62: Market Rates

    Is interest recoverable? It's a machloket, of course. Plus, how that plays out in the Jewish vs. non-Jewish courts, and the ways they functioned differently. Also, elaborating on the mishnah's case of rising market price, and a trade for another product, which (in this specific case) turns the seller into the borrower...

    Bava Metzia 59: Tanur Shel Akhnai

    Bava Metzia 59: Tanur Shel Akhnai

    The daf tells one of the most famous stories in the Gemara - Tanur Shel Akhnai. But why this story appears and the lessons to be learned from the disagreement between Rabbi Eliezer and the sages are often misunderstood. So why does this story appear in Bava Metzia and what does it teach us?

    Bava Metzia 58: God Owns the Consecrated Animals

    Consecrated items for which one bears responsibility are subject to price fraud, but when one is not responsible, price fraud is irrelevant. But what does it mean for the consecrated property to belong to God? What about the human dimension? Plus, taking advantage of market demands, for better and worse. Also, a new mishnah - on "ona'at devarim" -- oppression or exploitation or just plain obnoxious speech.

Such a great tool for daf yomi study

This podcast has helped my circle of friends learning DY so much. We all use it a little differently. I so appreciate the time and care that the hosts put in. I know it isn’t easy. The daf waits for no one!

Great content and illuminating discussions, but audio is so bad

You need a sound engineer. The quality of the recordings is abysmal.

Great Information

But please slow-down.

When I listen, I imagine you are talking while constantly peering over your shoulder to check a clock as you think, “I’m late!! I’m late!!”

Wouldn’t it be better to instead slow-down and “savor” every word of these beautiful texts?
