S2E16: Hallel, Shevi’it, Takanot and Omer (Sukkah 3:11-12 featuring Tzipporah Machlah Klapper)

We kick today’s episode off with Sukkah 3:11, which discusses variations in local customs when it comes to saying Hallel. We also are taught a few rules about procuring lulavs and etrogs during the shmittah year. Our second mishna, Sukkah 3:12, is identical to Rosh Hashana 4:3. Since I already discussed this text with Tzipporah Machlah Klapper in S1E15, our episode features a clip of that original episode.

S2E15: A Win for Beit Shammai! (Sukkah 3:9-10)

We start talking about the mitzvah of taking the lulav and learn about waving the lulav during the recitation of Hallel. The mishna discusses a man who can’t read Hallel.

S2E14: Big Etrog, Little Etrog (Sukkah 3:7-8)

We continue studying the etrog with machlokot (disputes) about the minimum and maximum size. We also have a dispute about what materials can be used to tie the Ara Minim together. Our mishnas (Sukkah 3:7-8) are short, so we have a few moments to learn some biographical information about our featured sages, Rabbi Yehuda, Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yosei. You can find these mishnas on Sefaria here [https://www.sefaria.org/Mishnah_Sukkah.3.7?lang=bi].   In the episode, I refer to some analysis done by Rabbi Drew Kaplan - you can read it here: Drew Kaplan's Blog: Rabbinic Popularity in the Mishnah VII: Top Ten Overall [Final Tally] [https://drewkaplans.blogspot.com/2011/07/rabbinic-popularity-in-mishnah-vii-top.html]    You can follow Mishna Accomplished on Instagram at @mishnaaccomplished [https://www.instagram.com/mishnaaccomplished] - only one “h” in “mishna”!

S2E13: All About Etrogs (Sukkah 3:5-6)

Today, etrogs get their turn as we see how the rules of stolen, idolatrous and blemished Arba Minim apply specifically to the etrog. I think a little bit about how beauty standards are subjective and change over time. You can find these mishnas on Sefaria here [https://www.sefaria.org/Mishnah_Sukkah.3.5?lang=bi].

S2E12: The means, the end and the stolen lulav with Marc Silberstein (Sukkah 3:3-4)

My colleague Marc Silberstein joins me as we continue chapter 3. Today’s mishnas, Sukkah 3:3-4, lay out rules governing stolen, idolatrous, and fashimmeled* willow branches as well as the total number of myrtle and willow required. You can find them on Sefaria here [https://www.sefaria.org/Mishnah_Sukkah.3.3?lang=bi]. We discuss some of the bigger ideas behind stolen ritual items, including mitzvah ha’ba’a b’avera, a mitzvah that comes about as a result of a sin. *This is Yiddish.
