Shalom, I sincerely apologize to all interested students for forgetting to push the “record” button for this shiur! So there is no recording. Sorry..
I will report here on what we covered in this class, so that you can follow it together with the presentation that I will post here.
In the previous shiur, we began reading the mishna found in the middle of the page of the gemara at Masechet Yoma 85b. We discussed the power of atonement of Yom Kippur, and the limits to that atonement power, first from the beginning sentences of the mishna itself and then from the Rambam Hilchot Teshuva ch. 1. We then discussed the statement in the mishna relevant to our present Elul study, regarding the conditional power of Yom Kippur to atone, when it comes to transgressions between man and fellow man.
In this shiur, we read the first 3-4 lines of the gemara that discusses the above line of mishna (17 lines up from the bottom of Yoma 87a) and translated and broke it into its sequential parts. Since the difficulty with the mishna raised by Rav Yosef ben Habo is from a verse in Shmuel I chapter 2 (v. 25), we read together the verses of that chapter that provide context for the above verse. Then we went back to the gemara and gave an understanding of the first exchange in the discussion between Rav Yosef bar Habo and Rabbi Abahu on the apparent contradiction between that verse and our mishna. In the next shiur we will continue to the end of this discussion and read Rashi’s explanation of it, before we move on to the next part of the gemara.
