Gefet- Gemara, Perushim, and Tosafot, an in-depth Iyun gemara shiur.

As part of the discussion about the showbread table, there’s a striking teaching that compares the altar and the atonement it brings to something much closer to home: our own dining table. At first, that sounds surprising. The Temple is all about standing before God… while the dinner table seems centered on something far more physical, our hunger, our daily needs. So why draw this connection? Join us as we dive into this fascinating teaching and uncover what it reveals about the deeper meaning- the hidden secret of eating.

Gefet Ep 214

Menachot 96

Gefet with Rabbanit Yael Shimoni and Shalhevet Schwartz is in collaboration with Yeshivat Drisha.
