Pesachim 57 - January 17, 4 Shvat

Study Guide Pesachim 57

Today's daf is sponsored by Valerie Adler  in honor of her daughter Anoushka's birthday “You are an amazing person and love sharing the daf and so much else with you. Mazal Tov on completing medical school this week! We are very proud of you.” And by Danielle and Paul Nacamuli, in honor of Ron Dechene and Robert Hovden. "Thank you for for your tireless support of Jewish learning."

The gemara discusses more the topic of not leaving the corner of one's field of vegetables - which vegetables are not included? A story is brought of someone who left the corner of a field that he was not supposed to and what his father told the poor when he saw them coming to take the vegetables from the corner of the field. The gemara brings several braitot, some from the Tosefta Menachot 13:4 that discuss bullying corruption in the Temple and also in the city of Jericho. Some sources highlight the differences between priests that did not abuse their power and those that did.
