- Is Rabbi Shimon saying that we can create mixtures of guilt and peace offerings by keeping the stringecies that apply to the guilt offering?
- a Mishna (Zeachim 90b) teaches which sacrifices were eaten in the Temple by the priests, prepared in any way they like
- Rabbi Yishmael says they can use any spices for flavour
- Rabbi Meir says that tithe spices cannot used because they would be liable to be destroyed
- As a proof, this quotes Rabbi Shimon and thus is rejected because tithes on spices are rabbinic
- most rabbis agree that the only biblical sources for tithes on produce are grain, grape juice and olive oil - no other fruits
- Some even suggest that other grape and olive products are not obligated in tithes on a biblical level
- The Rambam disagrees with this ruling and instead rules that all produce stored and used as human food is obligated orayta, from Biblical text
I began Daf Yomi (Koren translation) in August of 2012 with the help of an online group that is now defunct. This blog is intended to help me structure and focus my thoughts as I grapple with the text. I am happy to connect with others who are interested in the social and halachic implications of our oral tradition. Respectful input is welcome.
