Lomdus On The Amud: Following The Oraysa ScheduleChagigah 18a:
Chol HaMoed: Min HaTorah or Rabbanan? What Difference Does It Make?Is the prohibition of melacha on Chol HaMoed from the Torah or rabbinic? We’ll explore both sides of the debate—and why it matters. The nafka mina is huge: if it’s d’Oraisa, any doubt must be treated strictly (safek d’Oraisa l’chumra). If it’s d’Rabbanan, we’re lenient in cases of doubt. It also affects whether one may benefit from melacha done improperly and how seriously we treat violations. This episode breaks down the core question and its real-world halachic impact.

Rambam BekiusRambam on Counting Mitzvos de'Rabbanan in Taryag (Sefer ha'Mitzvos Shoresh #1) Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (3/1/22), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we began a side-topic tangentially related to Purim, prompted by my Friday Women's shiur on the nature and scope of Rabbinic authority. Our goal today was to review the Rambam's position on why mitzvos de'rabbanan are not counting in Taryag (in contrast to the Behag's view), as presented by Moshe Halbertal in "Maimonides: Life and Thought" and in light of our own learning of the primary sources. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll tackle the topic I'm really interested in: What is the nature of...
