Rabbi Moshe Tobal – Rif Berachot 26a | Weekly Parasha

Rabbi Moshe Tobal hosts classes daily at 6:30 AM at West Deal Shul.The beginning of the fourth perek of Berachot on the Rif (26a). Rabbi Tobal opens with how the Rif works - how he selects the Gemarot he rules from, and why the "Rashi" printed alongside the Rif is a collected commentary that is still always worth consulting. The class then works through the times of the prayers: Arbit through the night, Mincha until the evening, Plag HaMincha and the dispute between Rabbi Yehuda and the Rabbanan, with today's zemanim worked out as a live example. Practical questions follow: which tefilla comes first for someone who delayed past Plag, whether one may pray Arbit before Mincha (Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan against the later custom followed in America), and the proof from the afternoon Tamid that its time runs until the evening.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Visit: westdealshul.orgSponsorships: west.deal.classes@gmail.com
