Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
The fifth chapter of Zevachim describes the precise way the korbanot were offered - with a focus on the use of the external altar - known alternatively as the מזבח הנחושת, the מזבח החיצון, or the מזבח העולה. In this shiur we offer a glimpse into the role of the altar in defining the character of the Mishkan/Mikdash

What is the Torah’s true attitude toward blood?
On the one hand, the blood of the korbanot in the Beit Hamikdash is sprinkled upon the altar and brings atonement. On the other hand, the blood of animals and birds schechted outside the Beit Hamikdash must be covered.
And what about the blood of Abel that cries out? The blood of the brit? “Do not stand idly by your neighbor’s blood”?
All this and more in the next episode.

Why are there 2 levels of korbanot - higher sanctity (kodshei kodashim) and lesser sanctity (kodashim kalim)? Zevachim 37a-b discusses the grouping of firstborn, tithed animal and Pesach offerings regarding the rituals related to their blood. But this grouping is indicative of a larger category within korbanot, namely קדשים קלים - the lesser sanctity korbanot. What distinguishes those korbanot from high sanctity korbanot קדשי קדשים?

What makes someone fit to perform shechita — halachic skill, or gender identity?
What matters more — mastering the laws and precision of the act,or the weight of tradition and communal acceptance?
And what’s the difference between halachic kashrut of the shchita—and the public trust in what counts as “kosher”?
Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval set out on a journey to ask: Who really gets to hold the knife — and is it possible that a woman can be a shochet?

Zevachim 17b-18a teaches us about the significance of the bigdei kehuna, the priest’s clothing. Performing the Temple sacrifices without wearing those clothes was forbidden, and a kohen may not wear the special clothing except on the Temple Mount (Har Habayit). On Yom Kippur, the clothing requirement is especially involved. In this shiur, we will use that clothing requirement as a lens through which to view Yom Kippur and the significance of the kohen’s clothes throughout the year.

Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiurClothing is something that we choose — but to what extent does it define who we are? How does our outward presentation reflect something deeper about our identities? The rishonim address a similar question with regard to the role of bigdei kehunah, the uniform required for performance of the rituals in the Beit Hamikdash: does the uniform turn the Kohen into a Kohen? Or does his sanctity remain even without his begadim?Gefet Ep 194Zevachim 13Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.

The Gemara in Horayot 8b mentions the asham talui, literally the “hanging guilt offering.” It is called this because one offers it when one is unsure about whether they committed a sin that requires a hatat. If one later finds out that one has indeed committed said sin, one needs to bring a korban hatat anyway. So what exactly does the korban asham talui accomplish? What is the logic behind it?
