Monday 8/31, Eruvin 22: Really graspin the halakha
“Man of great skull” is my new favorite compliment. I intend to replace Galaxy Brain with Great Skull.
I’m departing for vacation tomorrow, and I’ve been thinking about how to handle Daf Yomi, which I did last time by reading ahead and stacking posts in queue. It worked terribly in Berakhot and I can’t imagine it would work better in Eruvin, so I nixed that idea. I finally came to a conclusion that this vacation is going to need to hold a lot of weight in terms of relaxation and recharging, since I won’t get another like it for probably a long time, and I haven’t had one like it since February.
So I’m not going to take a week off from reading Eruvin, but I’m going to give myself a week’s respite from posting about Eruvin. Which is the harder part anyway since I will have limited internet and I don’t love typing with my thumbs.
I’m going to try to keep up with Eruvin from now through next Monday, and not worry about posting -- but also not worry too much about taking a little time off if need be. If I do my daily reading, great! If I don’t, I’ll see you on September 8th, when we will probably still be talking about boards around wells.
(I’ll try to post a photo of that post-swim pizza I’ve been dreaming of. If the next thing you see is a mushroom pizza, know that I am living my best life.)
