- Shalom friends! Welcome to #DafReactions Bava Batra 22: The Wicker Elephant, in which Rav Adda is instructed to…smell a jar. No I will not be elaborating in the caption, so just watch the video! 🐘😱 #talmud #dafyomi #bavabatra
This is such a perfect example of everything I love about Daf Reactions. The stories, the twists, the bizarre hypotheticals, and of course, the wry commentary. It delivers on all accounts.
Thank you, Tom! I loved the "I AM SPARTACUS" moment when they ALL think they are the killer!
Waste basket 😂😂😂 this takes that funny expression to a whole other level 🤣🤣🤣
I thank the Talmud for this daf!
Miriam, you are so beautiful and learned. Thank you for encouraging me to learn
Steven! I’m so glad you feel encouraged to learn! Truly delighted to hear that, and I am encouraged by YOUR encouragement! (Unrelated, just as a little request as you might not know, I ask people please not to comment on my appearance unless it’s about something that requires skill - for example, a welcome comment might be something like “what excellent eyeliner you did today!” Thank you for understanding!)
@@MiriamAnzovin Because its not tzniut to comment on a womans appearance. Sorry
All good! I appreciate you understanding and respecting the boundaries!! 🙏
i’ve been told that if you give an elephant a whole apple, it will pass through unchanged, so maybe they’re just extrapolating to the basket. (apparently, it used to be a thing for elephant trainers to prank new circus employees by giving them an apple that had gone through an elephant.)
REALLY! Wow the more you know....the more you wish you didn't know...
Rava, truly the Chappell Roan of talmudic scholars
I AM DECEASED
I'm reluctant to say anything that might accidentally, inadvertantly casue some inadvertant accident, but this is one of your best yet.
😂😂😂😂 I’m so glad! It’s difficult to go wrong with such great Daf material!!
Hilarious. Cavil: Thhe story is not about the Rav Dimi who came to Babylonia from Eretz Yisrael carrying traditions from Rabbi Yochanan et al., but Dimi of Nehardea, a different dude.
I follow Dr. Ronis on this question :)
Wow. An elephant and sh*t in the same daf??? An excuse to entertain you with my elephant themed bathroom that just got a serious upgrade? Here's the mental image you didn't ask for but definitely deserve for being hilarious:
It started out with a photograph I bought of an elephant swimming in the sea. The photographer said his name was Rajan. Rajan's elephant buddies apparently liked swimming in the river, but the photographer said that only Rajan liked to swim in the clear sea where he could be photographed from under water. It's a really striking photo. Then I ended up with a shower curtain with an elephant posed like The Thinker while seated on a toilet with the tiles cracking under its weight. 2 things are a pattern, so I leaned in. There's now an elephant clock with a wagging tail for a pendulum and the newest addition is a toilet paper dispenser shaped like an elephant holding the roll out for you between its front feet. Since Rajan has a name, I decided that the TP dispenser needed one too. So he is Mr Carson after the butler in Downton Abbey. Get it? Because he's our butt-ler? His face is so serious like he sees you straining and is solemnly committed to telling no one.
Back to Daf Yomi, I have been learning a new painting style. Once I am more confident, I plan to make a painting with a dreamy sky background and an elephant fitting through the head of a needle. Maybe I should have another one with an elephant sh*tting a basket.
(The plan is to slowly add elephants until it gets to the point where people entering have to decide if it is more amusing or concerning. But nothing we couldn't take with us if we ever needed to move.)
I. Love. This. So. Much. You don't need a lambulet, you have an elephant-ulet! I love that you keep adding to this decor and I want your guests to be so disturbed but also so delighted at the same time!
@@MiriamAnzovin B"H I have the kind of friends who are amused by this. And by the time they get to the bathroom, they're primed by the fact that the rest of the house is full of loons because they're my favorite animal. It isn't in your face like in the bathroom, but they're everywhere. Throw pillows. Cookie Jar. Salt and pepper shakers. Framed art. Earrings. Glasses frame topper. That's only some of it, and I have loon cabinet pull handles on the way. Even our wedding benchers have loons on them.
If you aren't familiar with loons, you'd like them. They're antisocial dinosaurs who cosplay demonic checkerboards with daggers on their faces. Doting parents. Excellent swimmers. Highway speed fliers. But can't walk on land. Like... at all. They barely flop onto land to nest. But go after their nest and they'll end you. An investigation into an eagle's "gunshot wound" turned out to be the result of it trying to attack a loon nest. The loon apparently stabbed the eagle. In the heart. With its face dagger. HaSatan would approve.
This is too funny omg!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
This…is so unbelievably epic!!!!! On the wedding benchers???? WOW
@@MiriamAnzovin It used to be just a few things, but in that last few years, you might say the collection ballooned.
Basket case 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smelling a jar is a euphemism for Torah knowledge. Wine was often stored in jars, and the Torah is compared to wine in Song of Songs. There is a comparison of learning from the young to drinking vinegar, though Rabbi Meir says just the opposite.
Right, that's why I said not a euphemism for anything other than his credentials as a torah scholar! Usually with euphemisms, its...other things!
I guess we could say Rav Adda bar Abba didn't give a fig about Rav Dimi's problems. 😄
Didn't you cover the incident where Rav Pappa and Rav Huna cornered Rav Adda bar Abba for his notes in a previous video? I remember something like that, but not the context.
Damn, now I wish I had made an I don't give a fig joke! This is what I get for staying up too late last night and having my brain only at 70% lol. Excellent work! And now that you mention it there may have been such an incident but honestly if an elephant wasn't involved...I'm not surprised I don't recall. Oopsies!
@@MiriamAnzovinYeah well, your content at 70% brainpower is still better than a lot of people's content at 140% brainpower!
That is VERY kind of you to say!
I need to know the answer to the 🐘💩🧺!
I kind of enjoyed reading all the rabbis going off about how they caused a man to be unalived. I enjoyed "women deserve sefora to be more accessible, so set up shop!" part of this daf. I thought of you instantly.
I almost did the Sephora bit...but after I did the Minisode yesterday about Sephora I felt I kind of had to ahem address the elephant...in the room!
@@MiriamAnzovin your brand is strong. We all knew the pop-up Sephora was on your mind the second you read that...but then the daf went wild.
Bava Batra isn't boring!
🐘🍎🪵⚱! The vagaries of assigning meaning to coincidences when one believes there ARE no coincidences! I've only realized only very recently how much more pleasant and delicious figs are to dates, overall if I had to choose, and luscious pears to generally tough apples (that only make sense if you're having it as pie or cider!)! I think part of the moral, if any, is to consider transformation/transubstantiation/insert religious phenomena as it pertains to learning and takeaway and retention/digestion of information to knowledge to wisdom and not be an elephant of learning where one simply poops out (and all over) the subject whole without retaining its essence? Did this predict....me (in not seeking to understand first and foremost before giving an opinion)?
Then again, the elephant figures into philosophy once again when it encounters the five blind men! Is Jonah and the Whale part of Jewish lore? 🐋📜
Yes! Jonah and the whale story is from the Tanach :)
