Massekhet Sota

Learn Massekhet Sota with with Rabbi Jeffrey Saks and the Mishkan Tzipora Synagogue in Efrat. Starting from chapter 7 (Daf 32a) focusing on an array of topics related to mitzvot of speech, the nature of the Holy Hebrew language, issues related to draft exemptions and military service, the post-Temple moral decline, and signs heralding the Messianic era.

The shiur both covers ground and focuses on interesting topics in depth as they arise, with an attempt to highlight our knowledge or refresh our memories of certain useful skills to make Gemara masterable at any stage of your Talmud- study career.

Sign-up for the shiur WhatsApp group to stay updated with the ongoing conversation.
