🌻Good Morning🌻

[8/10]. I was not so confident on some of the questions and I needed to do a review, which was good.

8/10. This was a hard one! I've learned some Talmud, but not as an ongoing thing thing. Wish I could-- I LOVE it!!! Reply

Ra'anan Jerusalem August 18, 2022

I love these quizzes! I use Quizlet to teach high school & we repeat tests until everyone get 100%. I'm just as happy if someone passes after 5 quizzes as 1. The main thing is mastery. I got 2 wrong on THIS quiz the 1st time! But 100% the 2nd time. The number of pages was beyond me! I also forgot that Rebi Yochanan lived (later) in Tiberias. It was WORTH going to his wiki to review his biography. I think these quizzes sharpen us up, make our learning more active. Keep up the good work, Rabbi Posner! Reply

I didn’t do well on this one but it doesn’t matter as I have learned from it. One shouldn’t be ashamed of not getting a high score if the ultimate result is to increase and gain knowledge. Reply

I had question 8 wrong. Unfortunately Shas, which I missed, is not explained. Reply

Shad is another name for Talmud. It is an abbreviation of shisha sedarim, the six orders, of the Mishnah. Reply

Thank you. I had heard that before and this time I'll try to remember it. Reply

It's inaccurate to say that the talmud is a compendium of Jewish law. Of course law is derived from talmud, but the psak halacha is not usually given, and even when it is given it may actually be a later addition by Rabbanan Savorai Reply

Ra'anan Jerusalem August 18, 2022

in response to Ira:

ALTHOUGH, you could argue that rishonim & acharonim (as well as the savorim & geonim) HAD to choose the halakha from amongst the opinions presented in the Talmud, so that means that the law IS present in the Talmud. If you'd go back in a time machine to the time immediately before the Talmud was redacted, you'd see that people WERE following halakha!!! Where did that come from??? The gemara & that predates by far savoraim & geonim et al. So for those & previous generations the Talmud WAS a "compendium of Jewish law." Reply
