About this episode
With all the development and codification of Oral Torah that went into the Talmud, one areas was still incomplete: Halacha. Halacha refers to the practical application of Torah law, and despite the tremendous efforts invested in the Talmud in clarifying all the Torah laws, only an accomplished scholar would be able to extract the practical halacha from the Talmud. It is too confusing, it is too cumbersome, it is too vast, it is written in a terse, intricate way, the language is foreign; distilling the practical halacha from the Talmud is monstrously difficult. But thankfully, some of the greatest minds in history dedicated their lives to doing that for all of us. This podcast is the story of the writing and codification of Halacha. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – This TORAH 101 podcast is sponsored in honor of Dina Bat Esther by her family.
