The Daf Meets the Prophets

Yoma 68 - The Empty Spaces

The scapegoat is brought to a place of emptiness. Sometimes in the most humble places is where true greatness is to be found.

Yoma 67 - Humility and Honesty

The Gemara brings as a prooftext a verse from Ezekiel. Ezekiel teaches us the lesson that we must be humble and honest and accept the judgement of God.

Yoma 66 - Rising like the Sun

The rise of those who love God is as certain as the rise of the morning sun.

Yoma 65 - Never Pushed Away Forever

We discuss the law of an animal that becomes unfit for the Temple, is this permanent, or can it be fixed. The prophets reassure us though, that people, even if they stray, can always come back to God.

Yoma 64 - Does Meat Make You Strong?

Rava discusses the permissibility of slaughtering an animal for a person who is ill on Yom Kippur and requires the meat. However, in Daniel we find that maybe meat is not so necessary for health?
