November 25, 2022 Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss Season 10 Episode 36
Machshavah Lab
Q&A #10 - Iyun Procedures, Sensitivity to Halachic Laxity, and Dealing with the IRS
Show Notes

Synopsis: This morning (11/25/22), in our Friday Q&A, we addressed three topics: (1a) What is the advised course of action when starting a sugya in Gemara? (1b) What methodological differences are there between iyun in Tanach and iyun in Gemara? (2) What are the guidelines for maintaining one's own halachic integrity in the presence of someone who is not as committed to halachic observance? (3) How should one react to the loss of a significant amount of money, especially at the hands of the IRS?
