Megillah 28 - January 9, 7 Shvat - a podcast by Michelle Cohen Farber

Study Guide Megillah 28

This week's learning is sponsored by Elaine Hochberg in honor of Hadran and her husband, Aryeh. “Two years of Daf Yomi have been but a second filled with learning and delight. May we continue on this journey together and may it remain but a sweet second in our hearts and minds and on our lips.”

Students asked various rabbis in what merit did they gain long life? If a shul is destroyed, the space where it once stood still has sanctity and cannot be used for certain things. One should also not pull out weeds so that others see and pray for the shul to be rebuilt. One has to treat a shul respectfully and not eat and drink there, eulogize people, and a number of other things. However, shuls in Babylonia were built with a stipulation that they may be used for other things. One still cannot use them for business dealings. In what cases can eulogies be done in a shul? One cannot be served by someone who is a Torah scholar unless it is one's student. One who studies halakha is promised a place in the World-to-Come.
