Rabbi Ike Hanon – Pesahim 55b (Part 5) | Weekday Gemara

Rabbi Ike Hanon hosts classes every day at 6:10 AM at West Deal Shul.Continuing on Pesahim 55b, Rabbi Ike Hanon opens the mishna's list of what's permitted on the 14th: setting a hen on eggs, returning a runaway, replacing one that died, sweeping from under the animals, and dropping off or picking up utensils at the craftsman's house. Along the way: why animals are muktzeh on Yom Tob, whether pets and birds are included, and slaughtering for food on the holiday. The gemara asks why the mishna needs to teach returning a hen after permitting placing one - the answer: returning is allowed even on Chol HaMoed. Two three-day clocks limit the leniency - the hen's heat and the egg's edibility - and the amoraim argue whether we worry only about a great loss or even a small one.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -(0:00) The mishna: hens on the 14th (1:30) Muktzeh: animals, pets, and birds (4:30) Sweeping and the craftsman's utensils (8:00) The gemara's sequence question (9:45) Two three-day clocks (15:45) Great loss vs. little loss (20:15) Roosters and the heat of the ground- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Visit: westdealshul.org Sponsorships: west.deal.classes@gmail.com
