Mishnah in Depth: Keritot
Join Rabbi David Silber for Mishnah Keritot every Sunday! This course is a presentation of the Rifka Rosenwein Z”L Mishnah Division. And join Drisha’s Mishnah Yomit community! Working with the most standard daily mishnah study schedule, you will join a group of committed learners who dedicate time each day for the study of 1–2 mishnayot. Over a period of weeks and months of regular study, you will complete Tractates and even entire Orders of Mishnah.
Tractate Keritot deals with prohibitions for which the Torah imposes karet, the sin offering brought when one unintentionally violates these prohibitions (chatat), and the provisional guilt offering brought when one is unsure if they violated these prohibitions (asham).
To anchor and support your individual learning, Drisha’s Mishnah Yomit program includes a weekly Mishnah Yomit b’Iyun (in-depth) shiur. In this shiur, you will have the opportunity to review portions of the past week’s material and go deep into select elements of the text (e.g., core concepts discussed; how the mishnayot interpret and interact with the biblical background; the literary structure and reception history of the unit) — all within the context of a collaborative community of fellow learners.
