Daf Yomi One Week at a Time: Taanit with Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz: Lesson 1: Daf 2-6
The overarching theme of Masechet Taanit is Rain. Rain, especially in Israel, is integral to the health and growth of the country’s produce. Unlike other countries, Israel is almost completely dependent on rain fall for a successful crop. The first Mishna teaches us when in the year and where in our prayers do we remember and ask for rain. We will learn about the different types of rain and when in the year they are beneficial for the harvest.
