Daf Yomi for Women - Hadran - Un podcast de Michelle Cohen Farber

Today's daf is sponsored by Julie Mendelsohn and Adina Hagege in loving memory of their dear friend Yosef Yifrach z"l who passed away suddenly last week. "Yossi was a wonderful man who loved his family and toiled in Torah as well as in the law. Just a few weeks ago he spoke at the Beit Knesset about his love for daf yomi, encouraging everyone young and old to take up the daf. He was thrilled that he had recently finished his first year of the daf. We will keep learning in your memory as long as we can. Sending love and strength to the family." Who wrote which book of Tanach? In some of the books, the author dies sometime in the book, including Moshe who dies in the last eight verses of the Torah. Who finished the writing of each of these books? When did Job (Iyov) live? Several opinions are brought, including one that he was not real and the story was meant to be understood allegorically. One suggestion is that Iyov was a Jew who returned after the destruction of the First Temple to Israel. Three sources are brought to raise a difficulty as they assume Iyov was a gentile. However, the difficulties are resolved. In Chapter 1 of Iyov, there is a discussion between God and the Satan regarding Iyov which led to Iyov being tested by losing everything precious to him. These verses are quoted and explained.
