Send me a text!</a>Length: 1 hour 27 minutes Synopsis: This evening (2/20/25), in lieu of our regularly scheduled Pirkei Avos Shiur for women, we took up the topic that I'm currently writing about for my Friday substack article. We began by asking all the questions we could on this three-word pasuk, and by the end of the shiur, we answered all but one. The shiur itself focused on a highly disturbing minority view (expressed by only 3.5 meforshim) about what the Torah wants us to do to witches. For the shorter version of this, check out my article. For the full version, watch or listen to this shiur. ---------- מקורות: שמות כב:יז דברים יח:י-יד מכילתא דרשב"י סנהדרין דף סז עמוד א-ב רש"י רמב"ן בכור שור חזקוני הדר זקנים ר' דוד צבי הופמן רשב"ם - הקדמה לפרשת משפטים מאיר יצחק לוקשין - פירוש התורה לרשב"ם שם הערה ד רשב"ם רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות עבודה זרה וחוקות הגוים יא:טז רמב"ם - ספר המצוות: לא תעשה לב ספר החינוך - מצוה רמ"ה <a href="https://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/emor-kedoshim-should-kids-be-taken-dee">Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss: Emor / Kedoshim: Should Kids Be Taken to Magic Shows?</a> ----- The Torah content for the entire month of February has been sponsored by Y.K. with gratitude to Rabbi Schneeweiss for providing a clear and easily accessible path to personal growth via his reliably interesting and inspiring Torah content. ----- If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at <a href="http://www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss">www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss</a>.
