Richard HidaryHOST
And therefore, the rabbis, in order to make sure people don't get mixed up, do make a Gezerah, but in order to make sure that people do not burn Terumah and Kodashim in a way that's not allowed, if they're not really Tameh mit Deodayitah, so they made this distinction that such an appendage will cause Tumah only for touching and carrying, but not Tumat Ohel.
Richard HidaryHOST
Since we were talking about extra appendages and the laws of Tumat Ohel, we quote a Mishnah in Masechet, If you have a skeleton, but not a full skeleton, if you have either the majority of the build of the person, we'll see how many bones that is, so the majority of the height, or a majority of the number of bones, by counting them, either of those two scenarios, even if you don't have a full skeleton, that number of bones, that collection of bones, will cause tumat ohel.
Richard HidaryHOST
Even if there is not a rova, a quarter kav of bones, in volume.
Richard HidaryHOST
Still, it causes Tumah.
David RebohHOST
You want to know what the king says.
David RebohHOST
What's the rules that the king told us? Here it is, Masechet Sukkah.
David RebohHOST
You know how many pages we did? We did six pages.
David RebohHOST
Every day a little bit more.
David RebohHOST
At the end, we're going to finish the whole Masechet.
David RebohHOST
And you don't realize how that's a big light in your soul.
David RebohHOST
And like Rabbanu said, that even though if you forget the Torah, the soul doesn't forget it.

David BashevkinHOST
Hi friends and welcome back to Talmud Daily, our 40-week tour throughout the entire Talmud.
David BashevkinHOST
And this week we are exploring Tractate Sukkah.
David BashevkinHOST
And I want to share a deeper meaning and a deeper look at this tractate that for me on a very personal level is a Torah and idea that probably stays with me more than any other that I have ever learned or ever read.
David BashevkinHOST
And I want to open up this question on this Tractate where there's something very strange about Tractate Sukkah that we discussed yesterday.
David BashevkinHOST
We touched upon it.
David BashevkinHOST
But what's very strange in Tractate Sukkah is that if you look in the fifth chapter of Tractate Sukkah, it starts talking about Messiah and redemption.
David BashevkinHOST
And in fact, it shouldn't even be so strange because...
David BashevkinHOST
The Torah itself in Amos, in the 9th chapter, actually refers to the entire messianic state of the Jewish people as a fallen sukkah.
David BashevkinHOST
I want to introduce our listeners to some of the great Talmud educators, the great Torah educators throughout the world.
David BashevkinHOST
And this week, we are talking about Tractate Sukkah.
David BashevkinHOST
I do want to say one thing.
David BashevkinHOST
Somebody sent it to me.
David BashevkinHOST
I wrote a book called Synagogue, Sin-A-Gog, about sin and failure in Jewish thought.
David BashevkinHOST
If you look at the acknowledgments, I have my favorite Mr. Rogers quote at the very end of the acknowledgments there.
David BashevkinHOST
But continuing today on Tractate Sukkah, Tractate Sukkah is all about the holiday of Sukkot, which if you look at the 23rd chapter of Leviticus, what's known as Sefer Vayikra, the third book in the five books of the Torah, and the 23rd chapter, we are given a commandment that we are supposed to sit for seven days inside of a sukkah.
David BashevkinHOST
And during this holiday, especially on the first day, there is a commandment.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
He says, And you have to rely on this interpretation, just like they relied on Now, you're not going to really understand why I'm going to read you Tosca right now until we get into the suggah, but I want to read it already now and explain what he's trying to do here.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
According to Tosca, which seemed to me the most convincing, because the question is going to be, why is he bringing this other suggah? Okay, so one easy answer is, I find in general the Gemara, because there's no Gemara on Taharot, or on anything in Masechet, in Seder Taharot, you somehow feel like the Gemara is always just trying to bring in as much as they can of Taharot, so that you learn about Tum and Taharot, and they're always trying to bring it in in any way, and that could be an easy way to explain why he brings in this Chizka Avikish, which is really, really not connected.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
But, Toswit gives a bit of a better explanation than that.
Michelle Cohen FarberHOST
Toswit says, I'm going to read it because it's very interesting.
JoshHOST
You have to purchase him back from the Goy, even until 10 times its value.
JoshHOST
We saw this in the beginning of Masechet.
JoshHOST
So now the Shayla is, if the guy dies, does the requirement to buy back the Eved get passed on to the son? And similarly, Remember, by Chol HaMoed, you're not allowed to intentionally leave certain work to be done during Chol HaMoed if you could have done it a few weeks before Yom Tov.
JoshHOST
For example, you want to harvest your vineyard, or you have some work at work to do that you could have done a week before Yom Tov, but you said, I'm going to keep it for Chol HaMoed.
Anne GordonHOST
I'm Anne Gordon here with my friend Anne Havruta, your Dana Oz band.
Anne GordonHOST
Our daf of the day, Masecha Bechorot, daf Lamed Zayin, page 37.
Anne GordonHOST
We're finishing up our chapter five and moving on to chapter six, of course.
Anne GordonHOST
I'm going to start with the Mishnah in the middle of the middle of Amad Alf, which is going to take us through the end of the chapter.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
Now we start Perek Shishi.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
Okay, so this is really the countdown to the end of the Masechet.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
Okay? Because we've got now three Prakim left.
Darren PlatzkyHOST
Four Prakim left.
Joseph DanaHOST
Also comments that if a person does see thunder and lightning happening simultaneously, a person says just that one in order to fulfill both of them at the same time.
Joseph DanaHOST
Mishnah continues and says, If a person sees the great sea, he says, who made the great sea? Rabbi Yehuda says, just like we had earlier in the Masechet, about bread and wine, Those were Hashuv.
Joseph DanaHOST
They were unique.
Joseph DanaHOST
And they were unique foods.
