Hello Everyone,
I am writing to welcome you to our two sessions on the Halakhot of Shatnez– the Torah’s prohibition of mixing wool and linen in garments ( and in cushions, pillows and mattresses as well in certain circumstances).
Shatnez is one of the Torah’s “חוקים”- mitzvot whose rationale we cannot fully comprehend. In these two sessions I will not discuss the ideas that our sages have suggested as lessons that we may learn from this prohibition. What I do plan to discuss with you are the some of the details of הלכות שעטנז and how they apply in our time.
As always I ask that if you have ideas or suggestions both for these classes and future classes please write to me at fish9999@gmail.com
Thank you
Stuart Fischman
