Pesachim 66: When Israel’s Sages Needed Hillel the Babylonian to Explain the Sacrifices

Chapter 6! We open with a long mishnah on the conflict between what needs to be done on Erev Pesach and what is prohibited on Shabbat. Also: Hillel on this same conflict. [Who’s Who: Bnei Beteirah] Among other points, he notes that the Korban Pesach isn’t the only korban to conflict with Shabbat – there are sacrifices every week! Plus: How our emotions, or character traits, can get the better of us, whether anger or arrogance, and result in our forgetting Torah because of it, or losing prophecy.
