10/5/2012 2According to the Mishnah you shouldn't reach out to poor people on Shabbat #DafYomi #DafChat 2a

So there's a reason you can't tell if you're coming or going #DafYomi הכנסה נמי הוצאה קרי לה#DafChat 2b

Years back I suggested the sequel to the classic anime "Akira" should be called "Hanacha." Eventually dropped the idea. #DafYomi #DafChat 2b

10/6/2012#FunFact Most Talmud tractates begin with a discussion parsing/analyzing the text/syntax of the first Mishnah. #DafYomi #DafChat 3a 2a-b

Source for "patur" meaning biblical exempt but rabbinicaly prohibited (as opposed to "mutar") #DafYomi #DafChat 3a

If trapping a snake is permitted on Shabbat then what about trapping bees on #Sukkot? #DafYomi #DafChat 3a

Artscroll adds helpful footnote explaining that Lifnei Iver is still a problem #DafYomi #DafChat 3a

If you need to violate Shabbat, do it with someone else. יחיד שעשאה חייב, שנים שעשאוהDafYomi #DafChat 3a# פטורין

A body at rest tends to stay at rest, a hand however, does not rest. #DafYomi #DafChat 3a

Don't ask Rabbi's off topic questions so as not to embarass them/us Also see M. Avot 5:10 #DafYomi #DafChat 3b

The trick is to throw something into someone's basket as he's moving around. #DafYomi #DafChat 3b

I can't resist: A person's hand is like a Karmalit which I guess does mean master of your domain... #DafYomi #DafChat 3b

So it's possible the Sages fined someone by prohibiting them from avoiding violating a biblical prohibition #irony #DafYomi #DafChat 3b

10/7/2012 4 Hoshana RabbaIf you're going to throw something on Shabbat between domains, throw it high. #DafYomi #DafChat 4b

If you throw object in public domain onto something amot away, dispute if hayav or patur but at least you win the doll #DafYomi #DafChat 4b

Rabbi holds that tree branches are of the same status as the trunk. Why not hands to people? #DafYomi #DafChat 4b

10/8/2012 5 Shemini AtzeretThe gemara on 5a is a real basket case. (Look, I'm tired, it's after a long chag). #DafYomi #DafChat 5a

If a midget catches an object, it's as if it hit the ground. #DafYomi #DafChat 5a

Playing catch on Shabbat is less problematic if the thrower has a bad aim. #DafYomi #DafChat 5a

Bret Favre's first completion would seem to be rabinically prohibited on Shabbat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ZLPZasEgo #DafYomi #DafChat 5a

Many thanks to @Judahe for pointing out Mr. Perfect's "teiku" scenario http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iK7vRYeY3U #DafYomi #DafChat 5a

Unclear if you can play catch with yourself from domain to domain on Shabbat #DafYomi #DafChat 5a

So apparently it's prohibited to scroll down too far on Shabbat #DafYomi #DafChat 5b

Oil and wine don't mix - but dispute if they do mix halakhically #DafYomi #DafChat 5b

10/9/2012 6 Simchat TorahIf I ever made a video game about Shabbat I'd call it Q*Bit where an orange guy could only carry short distances #DafYomi #DafChat 6a

Shabbat 6a contains important definitions of the 4 domains for Shabbat #DafYomi #DafChat

Behag cites 6b as source for a public domain needing 600k people (or Jews), an historical impossibility for Rabbinic times #DafYomi #DafChat

10/10/2012 7Warren Zevon's favorite domain was a Carmelita http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9L8jLPE84g #DafYomi #DafChat 7a

If a public area which is inconvenient to use is a Carmelit then I think we have the heter for the NYC eruv #DafYomi #DafChat 7a

2

The definitions of karmelit should be enough to demonstrate that 600k is not a req for a public domain #DafYomi #DafChat 7a

10/11/2012 8Did rabbis stand around with rulers measuring heights and distances to rule on death penalty? What about instant replay #DafYomi #DafChat 8a

No means no. #DafYomi #DafChat 8a תשמיש על ידי הדחק לא שמיה תשמיש

When the Talmud says "אחרים אומרים" I imagine a cult of Elisha Ben Avuyah #DafYomi #DafChat 9a

I remember when New Square NY did in fact have a locked entrance, changed it when hatzalah couldn't get in #DafYomi #DafChat 9a

So acc to the Mishna on 9b am I not allowed to take my shower before I run out to shul? #DafYomi #DafChat

10/13/2012In the time of the Talmud it was uncommon to get drunk in the afternoon. Would the law be diff for happy hour? #DafYomi #DafChat 10a

One must wear a belt when one prays, fun academic discussion if waistband of pants count. #DafYomi #DafChat 10a

Following R. Kahana should we remove our jackets when we pray? #DafYomi #DafChat 10a

One should live in a "new city" which has fewer sins. Fascinating implications for collective historical punishment #DafYomi #DafChat 10b

If a town doesn't have a synagogue higher than its houses it will be destroyed. We need a minyan in Belfer Hall #DafYomi #DafChat 11a #YU

Surprisingly not said by R. Dimhi #DafYomi #DafChat 11a תחת ישמעאל ולא תחת נכרי

Interesting that the children of Yishmael are not considered תחת ישמעאל ולא תחת נכרי"nochrim" #DafYomi #DafChat 11a

Even the Talmud knew you shouldn't work for friends #DafYomi תחת נכרי ולא תחת חבר#DafChat 11a

But it's even worse to work for rabbis. Who knew The תחת חבר ולא תחת תלמיד חכםFederation existed the Talmud #DafYomi #DafChat 11a

So very true - who knew Rava B Mechasya was a romantic? #DafYomi כל כאב - ולא כאב לב#DafChat 11a

Also true, and so much for Rava B. Mehasya's romanticism #DafYomi כל רעה - ולא אשה רעה#DafChat 11a

ואמר רבא בר מחסיא אמר רב חמא בר גוריא אמר רב: אם יהיו כל הימים דיו, ואגמים קולמוסים, ושמים יריעות, וכל בני אדם לבלרין - אין מספיקים לכתוב חללה של רשותBut Robert Caro is trying his best #DafYomi #DafChat 11a

Not sure what Rava b Mehasya is saying regarding not writing enough abt gvt. Maybe they're like monkeys at typewriters #DafYomi #DafChat 11a

R. Ashi's bad dream required a fast such that its meaning would not be re-vealed #DafYomi

Even the sages recognized the importance of checking your pockets before Shabbat #ProTip #DafYomi #DafChat 12a

I guess this means we have to say more piyutim on Shabbat ההורג כינה בשבת כאילו הורג גמל#DafYomi #DafChat 12a

The same rules of life apply to all creatures great and small ההורג כינה בשבת כאילו הורג גמל#DafYomi #DafChat 12a

Which I guess explains all those Polish jokes #DafYomi #DafChat אין פולין ואין קורין לאור הנר12a

Disappointed Koren doesn't discuss the attic of Hahanya B. Hizkiya B. Garon #DafYomi #DafChat 12a

The people in Machoza couldn't distinguish between men's and old women's clothing #TMI #DafYomi #DafChat 12a

So *that* explains the European heteirim on eruv! #DafChat אין פולין ברשות הרבים מפני הכבוד#DafYomi 12a

Shaking garments out in the public domain is a lousy way to treat passers by. #DafYomi #DafChat 12a

Hillel and Shammai dispute if one can set up children for marriage on Shabbat. Unclear which side is strict or lenient #DafYomi #DafChat 12a

The source for our prayer for the sick on Shabbat שבת היא מלזעוק, ורפואה קרובה לבא#DafYomi #DafChat 12a

God's presence cares for sick people. Powerful imagery for visiting the sick. #DafYomi #DafChat 12b

B. Berachot 40b says you can pray in any language, B. Shabbat 12b says not to pray for needs in Aramaic. Discuss. #DafYomi #DafChat

10/16/2012Interesting educational models - schoolchildren actually worked and were *really* afraid of their teachers #DafYomi #DafChat 13a cf Makkot 8

General rule is to avoid sinning w/another person need to have a noticeable change and mutual mindfulness/awareness #DafYomi #DafChat 13a

Following Beit Hillel, it is prohibited to sleep next to one's menstruating wife, even if both dressed. #DafYomi #DafChat 13a

Thus if single women went to mikvah most לא אסרה תורה אלא קורבה של גלוי עריות בלבדactions would be permitted #DafYomi #DafChat 13a #UWS

Ah, so *now* we get to Hananya's attic! #DafYomi #DafChat 13b

You'd think the Mishna would actually, you know, include/list the 18 things decreed #DafYomi #DafChat 13b

Y. Shabbat 1:4 2a lists diff 18 decrees where Shammi beat Hillel, called harder day on Israel than the Golden Calf #DafYomi #DafChat 13b

Lesson of the attic vote - don't let extremists take over congress. Easier to legislate than to overturn. #DafYomi #DafChat 13b

Come to think of it, does anyone only count 8 decrees not 18? #DafYomi #DafChat 13b

10/17/2012 14Fascinating evolution of custom, once immersing in cave water became "established" people made up their own rules #DafYomi#DafChat 14a

10/25/2012 22Mezuzah goes on the right, Channukah candles on the left - makes sense for fire safety reasons too #DafYomi #DafChat 22a

Interesing - Counting money by the light of the menorah will make you resent the mitzavah. #DafYomi #DafChat 22a

Even tranferring flame is considered denigrating the channukah light despite the fact that orig flame isn't diminished #DafYomi #DafChat 22a

So the miracle of the menorah in the desert was that oil which was supposed to last for one day lasted for one day? #DafYomi #Dafchat 22b

When R. Zeira was in yeshiva he would buy in to host's Channukah candles, after he got married wife lit on his behalf. #DafYomi #DafChat 23a

R. Zeira's statement is after he married his wife "they" (מדליקי) light in his house on his behalf. #DafYomi #DafChat 23a

Even in the times of the Talmud they had flame wars. #DafYomi #DafChat כל העשנים יפין לדיו23a

Acc to #DafYomi 23a you can't manipulate Pe'ah to benefit your poor relative, even if he is worthy. Must have equal access #DafChat
