Mishna Accomplished
Join Rabba Aliza Libman Baronofsky to study two mishnas per day. You'll hear about how Rabba Aliza learned all of the six orders of the mishna with each of her children in advance of their bnai mitzvah, two mishnas at a time.
Mishna Accomplished begins on Sunday, April 19 with the first two mishnayot of tractate Rosh Hashana. New episodes will be published three times per week through Shavuot 5786.

We conclude chapter 1 with an example of a case where you could put something on the fire close to Shabbat. Then we begin “Bameh Madlikin”, the chapter that discusses candlelighting. We are given a preliminary list of materials that are not acceptable for use as wick or oil. You can find these mishnas here.
As Yizkor approaches next week, I am dedicating today’s episode in the memory of my grandfather Manny Berlove, z”l. In this episode, I share a few memories of my grandfather. Thank you for helping me keep his memory alive.

We move into “do’s” as the mishna tells us what we CAN light with as well as what we can’t light with. I reference this Wikipedia page. We close our mishnayot by veering into applications of purity and impurity that relate to lighting a wick on Yom Tov. You can find these mishnas here.

Today the mishna moves to discussing how a lamp could be constructed that would permit or forbid its use, depending on how likely you are to indirectly extinguish the flames. We also discuss what circumstances would warrant extinguishing a flame on Shabbat in general. You can find these mishnas here.
