In this opening episode, “The Great Seder Question: To Wrap or Not to Wrap?”, the Gemara on Pesachim tackles one of the most familiar acts of the Passover Seder — revealing the profound halachic debate hidden within it.
Peeling back the layers of Judaism’s most famous sandwich, we explore the conundrum of wrapping Matza and Maror together.
Bitul or Beauty?
Do the bitter herbs enhance the taste and experience of the matza — or do they actually serve to nullify it?
Here we delve into an age-old halachic question:
Does one mitzvah cancel another — or does it complete it?
Do two sacred flavors create harmonious unity… or does one spiritually override the other through halachic nullification (bitul)?
This focused three-week miniseries explores the Talmudic roots of the Koraich sandwich, unpacking what it teaches about mitzvot, intention, and spiritual integration — joining a growing collection of classes on Tractate Pesachim, Perek Arvei Pesachim, the Talmud’s central discussion of the Seder rituals and observances.
This episode of The Talmud on Pesach has been sponsored by Esther and Eliezer Shefer, Elad Benjamin, and Meir Charlie, in commemoration of the Yahrzeit of their beloved son, brother, and uncle Arya Eric ז״ל.
