#YourTorah

Rachel Weber Leshaw rolls up her sleeves and unpacks masekhet Beitzah's discussion of the intricacies of the rules of preparing food on Yom Tov, noting the way in which halakhah can change based on contemporary practices.

She is a graduate of Nishmat's Keren Ariel Yoetzet Halachah training program, as well as Yeshiva University's Graduate Program in Advanced Talmudic Studies.
