More on the Todah Offering; The 4 Who Need to Give Thanks

In this session, we will learn more about the Kurban Todah, the thanksgiving offering, from the text of the Rambam in Hilchot Maaseh HaKurbanot. We will try to understand, if we can, how the details of this offering serve the purpose of expressing thanks.

Following this, we will examine more closely the four categories of people who are required, according to Rav Yehuda/Rav in the gemara in Berachot 54b, to give thanks for their salvation. We will study some of the commentaries to the gemara to see how they explain in depth the differences between these categories.

Finally, time allowing, we will begin to study the literature of the poskim on the halachot learned from the above gemara.

I have posted here sources that we will be studying in this session.
