Today’s daf is sponsored by Jessica Jobanek and Harold Kingsberg in honor of the first birthday of their beloved son, Shmuel Meir. “We look forward to many more years learning with and from you, B'ezrat Hashem.”  If a master removes the eye of an already blind slave, will the slave be freed? Which types of blemishes are considered noticeable that a slave would go free if the master inflicted it? Would this include castrated testicles or cutting his tongue? Sources are brought from other areas of halacha where revealed blemishes are discussed. The Mishna discusses how larger and smaller animals are acquired. The Gemara raises a question according to a tana who requires lifting even large animals: how can an elephant be acquired?

Hadran.org.il  is the portal for Daf Yomi studies for women.

Hadran.org.il is the first and only site where one can hear a daily Talmud class taught by a woman. The classes are taught in Israel by Rabbanit Michelle Cohen Farber, a graduate of Midreshet Lindenbaum’s scholars program with a BA in Talmud and Tanach from Bar-Ilan University. Michelle has taught Talmud and Halacha at Midreshet Lindenbaum, Pelech high school and MATAN. She lives in Ra’anana with her husband and their five children. Each morning the daf yomi class is delivered via ZOOM and then immediately uploaded and available for podcast and download.

Hadran.org.il reaches women who can now have access to a woman’s perspective on the most essential Jewish traditional text. This podcast represents a revolutionary step in advancing women’s Torah study around the globe.
