Adam's Torah
This podcast is recordings from classes given by Adam Sabzevari. There are episodes on the weekly Parasha and the Jewish holidays
There is also a series on the Sefer HaMitzvot, in which we go through the list of the Mitzvot.
We will learn the Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar (“Concise Book of Commandments”), written by Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohen Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim). The book is an abbreviated reworking of the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot that only includes commandments applicable outside of Israel in the post-Temple era. ************************* Podcast Link: https://adamstorah.buzzsprout.com/

Positive #34 - To Rest from Work on the First Day of Sukkot
In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #34, which is rest from work on the first day of Sukkot.
- This mitzvah applies to the 15th day of Tishrei (the seventh month of the year). Outside of Israel, it also applies to the second day of Sukkot, or the 16th day of Tishrei.
- This holiday is 5 days after Yom Kippur.
- Other than the date, this mitzvah is identical to positive mitzvah #25, which is to rest from work on the first day of Passover.
- Similar to the first day of Pesach, food related melachot (work activities) are permitted on the first day of Sukkot, which is referred to as ochel nefesh.
