About this episode
Study Guide Shabbat 35 Today's shiur is dedicated by Aliza Avshalom in loving memory of her mother, Sara Bellehsen z"l, who lived and loved Torah and for a refuah shleima for all those worldwide who need it. This week's shiurim are dedicated in celebration of the birthday of Rabbi Fredda Cohen with love from her family. The opinions of Rabba and Rav Yosef regarding bein hashmashhot are flipped regarding the size of a basket that is considered mukze on Shabbat and cannot be carried. Rabba has the larger size for bein hashmashot and the smaller one for the basket. The rabbis provide methods by which one could determine when exactly bein hashmashot starts and ends. They also mention where to go if one wants to see the well of Miriam that provided water for the Jews when they were in the dessert. Since rabbi Yehuda says bein hashmashot begins when the east side begins to redden - does one look for that in the East or in the West? They would blow 6 shofar blasts before Shabbat - first one for the workers in the fields, then for the workers in the city then for lighting candles or to remind people to remove their tefillin and then 3 blasts together to signal the beginning of Shabbat. A more detailed description is brought also from another braita.
