What Happens When You Bow Down to a Tree? (Avodah Zarah 48)
Description
Daf Yomi Avodah Zarah 48
Episode 2040
Today's daf features three mishnayot. The first two define different kinds of asheira trees. As part of that exploration we tweak our understanding of the concept of a tree that was planted for non-idolatry purposes but was later worshipped, and the argument between Rabbi Yosi bar Rabbie Yehudah and the Rabbis. The last mishnah discusses benefitting from the shade of an asheira. I hope you enjoy. Cheers.
