Lesson

In the previous shiur, we saw how the sugya that brings the position of Shmuel regarding the reason for the gezeira of cheese produced by non-Jews concludes by clarifying that R.Yehoshua is actually understood to have changed his position regarding קיבה, the contents of a dead animal’s stomach, as a result of the objection raised by R.Yishmael.

In this shiur, we will finish the sugya about cheese, seeing the final three answers of amoraim as to what was the reason for the gezeira. This material is found on Avodah Zarah 35b. The sugya concludes with drashot on the third verse of Shir haShirim.

This shiur will be our final shiur for this semester before we break for Tisha beAv.  We will be back in Elul. Watch the WebYeshiva website for information about the topic to be covered, and for information about the gemara shiur next year as well.
