Description
Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
The Gemara in Chullin 33a discusses the rabbinic resolution that hands require washing before eating terumah. The reason behind this exposes rabbinic awareness that people are just people. We are forgetful and may not always notice what we are doing. This a cornerstone of rabbinic thought.
