#dafyomi Bekhorot 21b: another admission that Rabbis don't know everything. Ask a master shepherd whether your ewe has miscarried. דף יומי בכורות כ"א:ב: עוד הודאה שהרבנים אינם יודעים את הכל. שאל רועה חכם אם כבשך הפילה.

@jyuter.bsky.socialOne must show discharges to a Sage.
Gemara: How would a Sage know what it is?

#DafYomi 21b
@miriamanzovin.bsky.socialShalom, friends! A fact! A foe! A ship! A sage! A thought!
A trick…To break into the school of the sages of Athens, and kick their asses in a riddle battle.
A 2-daf epic #talmud tale!
Welcome to #DafReactions Bechorot 8&9: A Sage Odyssey 🌊
#dafyomi
(Good to be back, friends!)
#dafyomi Bekhorot 13a: Halakhah changes with the times. Halitzah now preferable to Yibum. Like "after they learned" in Gittin 5a. דף יומי בכורות '"ג:א: ההלכה משתנה עם הזמן. חליצה עכשיו עדיף מייבום. כמו "לאחר שלמדו" בגטין ה':א.
@jyuter.bsky.socialMishna: The mitzvah of yibbum (levirate marriage) initially took precedence over halitza when people performed it for the sake of the mitzvah. Now that people do not do yibbum for the sake of the mitzvah, halitza takes precedence.
#DafYomi 13a
@jyuter.bsky.socialBaraita: Fish, humans, and snakes are the only creatures that have intercourse facing each others

R. Sheshet: The Torah permits honey (as an exception)
#DafYomi 7b
@jyuter.bsky.socialR. Sheshet: Fluids that emerge from kosher animals are kosher. Fluids that emerge from non-kosher animals are not.
#DafYomi 7b
@jyuter.bsky.socialR. Yehoshua b. Levi: A non-kosher animal can't become pregnant by a kosher animal and vice versa, nor large/small animals, nor domesticated and undomesticated
#DafYomi 7a
R. Akiva's midrash (את ה' אלהיך תירא לרבות תלמידי חכמים) in #dafyomi Bekhorot 6b was the most blatant example of Rabbinic hubris until Haredi leaders invented Da'at Torah thereby turning themselves into gods.
@jyuter.bsky.socialR. Yohanan b. Zakkai to Kontrokos the Officer: Moses was a trustworthy treasurer and an expert in accounting.
Note: Proving it's a *very* long tradition
#DafYomi 5a
@jyuter.bsky.socialGemara: A person must recite teachings using the precise language of his teacher

#dafyomi Bekhorot 3b: Rashi s.v. קנין גמור and s.v. מילתא הוא דעבד anticipated Samuel Goldwyn. דף יומי בכורות ג':ב: רש"י ד"ה קנין גמור וד"ה מילתא הוא דעבד ציפה את שמואל גולדווין.
#dafyomi Hullin 142: he climbed, shooed away the mother, and took the chicks. דף יומי חולין קמ"ב: ועלה ושלח את האם ולקח את הבנים.
