Slavery in Judaism

When We Make a Beracha on Food, We Don't Redefine the Food; We Redefine Ourselves

Class Summary:

In the midst of a Gemarah class, Rabbi YY Jacobson explores the Torah's view on slavery, both when you obtain a Jewish and non-Jewish slave, and a deeper understanding of why we make blessings before we eat and drink.
 
This discussion took place on Friday Parshas Matos-Masei, 1 Av, 5779, August 2, 2019, at the Ohr Chaim Shul, Monsey, NY.

    hey rav yy! great shiur as usual.

    the mitzvah of eved hacnaani was not only given to improve the lives of primitive peoples. the torah is given anew every day.
