Pesachim 22 - December 13, 27 Kislev

Study Guide Pesachim 22

Today’s daf is sponsored by Naomi Oxman in honor of her mother, Sara Younger, better known as "Bubaleh" whose 2nd yahrzeit was yesterday. And by Sophie Frankenthal in honor of her mother, Oprah. "Your modest passion and commitment to Torah inspires me more than you know, and your endless wisdom and dedication to your values are the guiding force of our family. HaShem should give you the strength to continue your learning. Love you Mommy! Chanukah Sameach!"

Chizkia and Rabbi Avahu each learn in different ways from where we derive the fact that one is forbidden to benefit from chametz on Pesach. The gemara brings questions against Rabbi Avahu's approach (that anytime it says one is forbidden to eat, it includes also benefitting) from the prohibition to eat the sciatic nerve, blood and a limb from a live animal. Each question is resolved. Then questions are raised on both Chizkia and Rabbi Avahu from an ox that killed a person and must be stoned and from fruits within the first three years of planting the tree. Each question is resolved according to each opinion.
