Moed Katan, Daf 23
02/04/22 • 13 min
Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Dr. Joshua Kulp looks at Masechet Moed Katan Daf 23.
One issue addressed on this daf is remarriage after the death of close relative. Here we see an interesting difference between the death of most relatives, even father or mother, and the death of a spouse. In the former case, one can remarry after thirty days, whereas a man whose wife has died must wait until three festivals have passed before he remarries. Why is there such a difference? And what about a woman whose husband has died? How long must she wait before she remarries?
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.

Moed Katan, Daf 24
Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Dr. Joshua Kulp looks at Masechet Moed Katan Daf 24.
There are several passages in the tractate about mourning on Shabbat and opinions vary. Some sages hold that on Shabbat all mourning customs are suspended, whereas other sages hold that only some mourning is suspended, but that private acts are still observed. Embedded (watch out for the pun) in this sugya is a discussion about sexual relations during mourning. We will even encounter a story about a man who did have sex while he was mourning and pigs came and bit off his....[You’ll have to listen to get the answer].
