Daf Reactions!
Shalom friends! This minisode, the Gemara says “Look, ya gotta take this 💩 to Ba’al Peor. We don’t want it!”
זבחים פ״ה א:י״ד

וְאֶלָּא דְּקָתָנֵי: כֵּיצַד עוֹשֶׂה – מוֹרִיד אֶת הַקְּרָבַיִם לְמַטָּה וּמַדִּיחָן; לְמָה לִי?

Zevachim 85a:14

The Gemara asks: But if the mishna is referring to an offering that became disqualified, then with regard to that which is taught in a baraita concerning the mishna: What shall he do with such an offering? He takes the innards down from the altar, placing them below it, and thereafter rinses them, why do I need to do so? Since the innards of a disqualified offering may not be returned to the altar once they have been removed from it, why should they be removed from the altar?

זבחים פ״ה א:ט״ו

הֵיכִי נַעֲבֵיד? נַקְרְבִינְהוּ בְּפִרְתַּיְיהוּ?! ״הַקְרִיבֵהוּ נָא לְפֶחָתֶךָ הֲיִרְצְךָ אוֹ הֲיִשָּׂא פָנֶיךָ״!

Zevachim 85a:15

The Gemara responds: Rather, what should we do? Should we offer them with their dung? Doesn’t the verse state: “Present it now to your governor; will he be pleased with you? Or will he accept your person?” (Malachi 1:8), and isn’t it derived from this verse that items considered repulsive to people are not fit for use as an offering for the Most High?

Thanks for learning with me! What you just saw is part of The Daf Reactions Project, where I share my daily practice of studying the Babylonian Talmud (Daf Yomi) from the viewpoint of a formerly Orthodox, now secular, Millennial feminist. I'm Miriam Anzovin—a Jewish nerd, storyteller, and artist. My passion is putting this ancient discourse in direct communication with modern internet culture, pop culture, and current events.These videos are my authentic reactions, with commentary that's both heartfelt and comedic, and always centers Jewish joy. My profound gratitude to René Michel, for connecting all the Daf Reactions videos to Sefaria source sheets. To paraphrase Rabbi Tarfon in Pirkei Avot 2:16: It is not your responsibility to finish the work, but you should really try or René might have coded it already!!
You can find me @MiriamAnzovin on YouTube,Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, (and also in some people’s minds, where I live rent free.)
