TOM’S TALMUD TISCH: Series on Hakhel, Part Five Masechet Sotah, Chap. Seven, Page 41a In the fifth Episode we begin studying the Gemara which analyzes the Mishna. Our first focus is on a seeming grammatical inaccuracy in the language it uses -- that could potentially point to the wrong date for the unique Septennial Assembly Reading. Scrolling through the specific Torah verse conveying the day in which the Hakhel Assembly Mitzvah should be held we encounter a surprising biblical anomaly. For all the clear instructions, the exact time still seems unclear. Why the circuitous language, and what is added by multiple methods of identification, and shouldn’t G-d have it conveyed things more directly and clearly? Discover the fascinating bigger picture, and see what else comes to light when we fully decipher these pregnant words? This is the Fifth Episode in our unique Hakhel mini- series.
