8/6/2026 - R Simcha Herzog / Did Rav Ashi and Ravina write the Shas Bavli

Simcha HerzogGUEST
Rashi there understands it to mean that Rav Asher and Rav Eno were the ones who put together the Talmud, including all the Bais and the Ace Phase and the Mace Phase.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
And similarly from reading Rashi, it is clear that Rav Asher and Rav Eno were the... ones who were messiah there, the Talmud.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
The Parsha, in the Vahayim Shemaya, tells us, the more Kedushim Choftez tells us, we learn out that it's only... men that have a chiyav to learn Torah, even though normally we say women are mechoyiv and om mitzvah tzasei that are not azman grama, and learning Torah is not a mitzvah tzasei shazman grama.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
Nevertheless, we say that women are not liable to teach their sons Torah, and they have no chiyav of learning themself, even though it's not a mitzvah tzasei shazman grama.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
But so much so that we go about whether or not you could teach a girl, a person should teach a girl, their daughter, Tyra.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
And Reb Leza says, no, if you teach a girl Tyra, it's like, it's like teaching her lewdness.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
Why? Because, in part, and therefore, because of that lack of preparedness and ability, they're going to end up using Torah for ends that are not 100% appropriate.
7/21/2026 - R Simcha Herzog / The Rambam was against Kollel

Simcha HerzogGUEST
The Pasuk tells us in Shema, we say it every day, So of course, Chazal understands this as having to do with Shema.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
It has to do with the idea that Whatever Hashem is commanding you, it always has to be with you.
7/15/2026 - R Simcha Herzog / No one is guilty of שנאת חינם

Simcha HerzogGUEST
The Gemara in Yuma, on Tess, on the Bays, tells us about the first Bais HaMikdash being destroyed because of the Big Three.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
And the second Bais HaMikdash, it says, as we all know, that the reason for its destruction was because of Senas Chinam, which tells us then that Senas Chinam is as severe as the Big Three of Eris.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
We have other reasons that are brought down in Chazal as to why the Second Mesa Mekdash was destroyed.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
There are Gemaras in Shavask, if you have tests, that tell us about other affairs that people did in relation to the Second Mesa Mekdash.
7/7/2026 - R Simcha Herzog / What are the benefits of going up to the הר הבית

Simcha HerzogGUEST
You probably have heard that there is a big and heated debate as to whether one is able to go up on top of the higher bias or not without getting into the nitty-gritty of the debate in the time that we have, I just wanted to discuss what would be the benefits or the detriments of going up.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
So, we know already in Parshas, Nasser, the Torah, told us about the detriments.

Simcha HerzogGUEST
In the Midbar, there was the machane l'sor, the machane l'vira, the machane l'shchina.
